"Damn, I'm late for another update. I'm not going to sleep. There will definitely be an update tomorrow morning."
The swordsmen from the swordsman camp were obviously used to this. They all sat in their chairs obediently. None of them stood up. Salin's ship was docked at a dock far away from the magic ship. This dock was built separately and was far away from the Devil's Horn ships.
This didn't stop Salin from observing the Devil's Horn harbor. He saw huge towers and metal bridges with sliding rails. There were hooks hanging down from them to transport goods from the ships.
The huge metal boxes were tied up and hung down from the ships, piled up on the dock, and then moved back and forth by metal puppets over five meters tall.
Some of the goods were obviously special. They had just been moved off the ships, and there were already carriages …
Those weren't carriages, but chariots pulled by magic beasts! These things that he had only seen on murals were now in front of him. Salin was extremely surprised. There were mages from all over the world in the team. Even if these methods couldn't be discovered, it was still a great reward to see the structure and workflow of the dock. Were the people from Alchemy City really not worried?
The carriages pulled by magic beasts were filled with goods and drove deep into the island. The harbor itself was chiseled out of the rocks, and several spacious roads were also completely carved out of the mountain.
The Devil's Horn wasn't suitable for building a harbor. This was completely done by manpower. It was easy to do on land. There were huge numbers of puppets digging into the mountains. What about in the sea? Was the bottom of the harbor also cleared by manpower?
Salin saw an incomparably strong will in this metal harbor. It was a human heart that would never yield in the face of nature.
"Let's go. We'll rest on the island for two days and then set off," the Magic Shooter urged everyone.
Behind the dock, there were more than ten huge carriages waiting. The mages were all arranged to get on the carriages. The swordsmen from the swordsman camp followed on horseback. The personal guards of the mages followed the mages into the carriages. Most mages didn't have the energy to train like Salin and Rex. Unless they were Magic Shooters, their strength was somewhat weak.
A day and night on a ship, and they were all sitting on chairs, immediately showed the difference between the two types of mages.
The rich mages had very good physical conditions. They had obviously reached the level of a swordsman. The mages who were born in poverty tried their best to spend all their time on magic training. They had not rested well for a day and a night, so it was good enough that they were not seasick and vomiting.
The carriage brought the hunting team along the main road to a castle. Most of the mages were very tired, so they were arranged to their respective rooms to rest. The swordsmen were taken to the dining hall where they could have a meal first.
Salin and Rex weren't tired, but they took the opportunity to sleep. The castle was surrounded by a forest. Birds chirped outside the window. Lying on the soft bed, Salin had a sweet dream.
The dream was a little blurry. Salin only remembered that before he woke up, he was on the magic ship, standing on the bridge and commanding the ship to attack a giant dragon. The giant beast on the bow of the magic ship spat out a dazzling magical light, and Salin woke up.
"Master." Salin opened his eyes and saw Nelis lying beside him, looking at him with her green eyes.
"What is it?"
"Juno sent someone to deliver it." Neris took out a thin book from under her body and handed it to Salin. Salin opened it, but it was the details of the hunting mission.
The hunting plan and the habits of some dangerous magic beasts were all written in this book. All the details to pay attention to, as well as the specific mission of Salin's team, were clearly marked.
Salin frowned. According to the introduction in the book, this kind of mission was a bit easy. Was there a mistake?
He climbed out of bed, dressed, and went to find Rex. Rex and the others had woken up earlier than him and were eating in the dining hall. Salin and Nelis appeared, and servants immediately came to serve them. Salin didn't even wash up. He cast a cleaning spell on himself and sat next to Rex.
This castle was clearly used to entertain the hunting team. The dining hall was very large, and was built in a series of small halls. The swordsmen belonging to Salin and the others were also sitting at the same table.
Including the swordsmen hired by Sandro and Gogan, there were fifteen people sitting at this table. Other than Schika and Nelis, the hired swordsmen were not weak either. They were basically beginner swordsmen. Their sword aura might not be strong, but years of fighting with magic beasts gave them a strong aura.
"Sir, you're here." The swordsmen all bowed. Salin nodded and let the swordsmen sit down and continue eating.
"Rex, have you read this?" Salin took out the mission details and gave it to Rex.
"Yes, everyone has a copy."
"It seems like our mission is too easy?"
"Isn't that good?" Sandro took over and said, "There are a few lucky mages in every mission. You don't have to do too much, just follow the Magic Shooter's ship as backup. This time, it's finally my turn, ha … "
Originally, Alchemy City had to send out more than four ships to hunt the finless whale. This time, the target was not big, and there were still five ships going out to sea. One of them was a warship, used to protect the fishing boats from being harassed by pirates. The whaling ship had to go deep into the sea and leave the protection of the Devil's Horn. Without the warship, if a magic beast above level eight appeared, the fishing boats would not be able to withstand a few attacks.
Three of the fishing boats were the main fighting force to deal with the finless whale. The fourth boat was taken by Magic Shooter Juno, and it was with the warship, ready to support at any time. Salin's mission was to follow the Magic Shooter. If the three fishing boats could not deal with the finless whale, then the fourth boat would be sent out. Of course, Juno would also join in.
This was basically following the Magic Shooter. Under normal circumstances, it was easy for dozens of mages to deal with a finless whale. Although this magic beast was level six, its attack methods were very simple. The fishing boats were also slightly faster than the finless whale, so there would not be any danger.
Rex did not say anything. He had already guessed the reason. The people of Alchemy City must have confirmed his identity, so they arranged such a mission, afraid that something would happen to him. Although Alchemy City had always looked down on the Glücos royal family's orders, the people of Alchemy City knew that if someone else was the emperor, Alchemy City might not be treated so well.
In terms of strength, Alchemy City might be able to establish a country on its own, but the cost would be too high.
Sigh, I'm not well liked in Holy Rock City, but now that I'm here in Alchemy City, it's these people who treat me better than other mages. If I were in Holy Rock City now, how many cold eyes and mockery would I receive?
Seeing Rex's expression, Salin understood this as well.
He didn't think there was any danger in this hunt. There were more than 30 level three mages in the team, Rex was a level six mage, there were two level five mages, and the rest were level four mages. If it wasn't on the sea, just 120 beginner swordsmen would be able to torture a level six magic beast to death. Now that Rex was being taken care of and was in the same boat as the Magic Shooters, it was even safer.
"Sandro, how many times have you participated in this mission?" Salin asked casually as he drank his oatmeal.
"Twice. I almost died the first time, so I have no experience, "Sandro said with lingering fear.
"Can I go around the island?"
"Of course, but the people of Alchemy City can't guarantee your safety when you're outside."
"What do you mean?"
"You can't go to the west, south, and north of the Devil's Horn. The east is reserved for hunting and for stronger magic beasts."
"Yeah." Salin nodded, thinking that the people of Alchemy City were also studying how to cultivate magic beasts. No matter how big the island was, it wasn't enough for many magic beasts. To be able to hunt for a long time, they would definitely put the captured magic beasts in the east of the island. On one hand, it would give the people of Alchemy City a hunting ground, and on the other hand, they could study how to raise magic beasts artificially.
It didn't matter what kind of magic beasts were raised on the island. Even if they ran away, they wouldn't hurt the people of Qin Yin. This place was far from the mainland, but it was the best natural laboratory.
He didn't know how to get information on this island. If his teacher came from here, he really wouldn't be able to get anything out of him in Alchemy City. The servants in the castle were very strict, and he wouldn't be able to get anything out of them. But if he wanted to go out, Alchemy City wouldn't be responsible for his safety. That was quite troublesome.
Even if there was no danger when he went out, he couldn't just grab someone and ask, "Do you know Jason Statham?"
If he was just here to find his teacher, there was nothing wrong with asking that. But he had a guilty conscience and was afraid that people would know about the Hell of Divine Punishment. After finding his teacher, there were still many things he had to hide from the people of Alchemy City. If he attracted too much attention, things would be difficult later on.
It seemed like the books were right. People without desires were powerful and invincible. The selfish desire in his heart made it difficult for him to do anything.
Thinking of this, Salin was a little depressed. But if Alchemy City found out about the Hell of Divine Punishment, the entire half plane would probably be swallowed up by Alchemy City. What would be left for him and Rex?
Thinking of this, Salin lost his appetite. He randomly stuffed a few pieces of bread into his mouth and didn't look at the magic battle organized by the mages in the hunting team. He planned to use these two days of rest to sleep.
Once Salin returned to his room, Rex followed him.
"Salin, I'm not even in a hurry. What are you worried about?" Rex closed the door and casually cast a Silence Barrier.
"I really miss my teacher, and I have no clue. Should I be happy?" Salin said in a fit of pique, like a child.
"It's not that there's no way. Where's your white crystal ring?"
After Salin got the dragon crystal, he set it on the devil bracelet. The white crystal ring didn't have much use anymore, so he put it away. Hearing Rex's question, he immediately said, "No, I can't take it out."
"You, why don't you have any energy to be smart now? I'm not asking you to auction it. You might not be able to find your teacher that way. Maybe he's not back yet. This white crystal ring is very precious. It looks like a set. It's normal that you can put up a purchase message. "
"Purchase?"
