Returning to the port, Salin and the other mages who participated in a mission for the first time were still shocked. This time, they came to the dock where the magic ship was docked. From the dock, they could see the hundred-meter-long ship up close. It felt completely different from watching it from afar.
Salin calculated carefully. This magic ship had a magic cannon installed. Including the tilted bow, it was only two hundred meters, which was too different from the space needed to install a magic cannon. The consumption of this magic cannon was more than thirty times that of the fort. To reduce the consumption to a normal level, they had to build a ship that was more than a thousand meters long. That was impossible.
The carriages couldn't go to the main dock, so the mages walked to the gangplank and entered the four hunting boats.
These four boats were about fifty meters long and ten meters wide. They were high at the front and low at the back. Salin was born by the sea, but the people of Ceylon City had long stopped hunting whales, not to mention magical beasts.
There was a strange-looking giant alchemy crossbow at the bow of the hunting ship, and two puppets guarded it. Salin's group of five mages was brought to the cabin on the second floor at the back. There was a magic compass more than a meter in diameter in the room. This thing was not only used to guide the sea, but also to find magical beasts in the sea.
The other ten mages were arranged to stay in the cabins at the front of the ship. This hunting ship had specially designed rooms for mages on both sides of the front. Sandro and Gao Gen were in Rex's group, so they were also given special treatment. They didn't need to fight at the back, and only had to watch the magic compass.
The captain would be watching the magic compass all day, unless the captain and first mate were dead. Even then, Salin didn't have to worry about it. Juno would take over the ship naturally. Luckily, they could see the front through the crystal window. Five mages, eight swordsmen, plus Shika and Nelis. Fifteen people were sitting comfortably on the chairs, as if they were on a vacation for the first time.
The ship set sail and left the port, entering the outer fog. Apart from these four hunting ships, there was also a huge armored ship following behind. In addition to protecting the four hunting boats, the ship could also directly process some of the more important prey at sea.
Salin and Rex couldn't continue their special training on the ship, so they started chatting.
Salin realized that he rarely had the time to chat. He had been very busy ever since he became a Magician. It was the same for Rex. Although the nobles of Qin Yin didn't have the habit of drinking tea in the afternoon, they would still specially gather together on the sixth day of every week to exchange feelings. Rex had never received this kind of education since she was young. Ever since she could remember, she had been immersed in the world of magic.
In the eyes of outsiders, Magicians were mysterious and glamorous, but most people could not bear the boredom.
Daniel talked about what he had seen at sea, and even Sandro and Gogan listened with great interest. It was only then that Salin realized that Daniel was very eloquent. Beneath his simple face, he had a heart that was very similar to the people of Scottynya. In front of Salin and Rex, Daniel could only restrain himself as much as possible. When he was talking to Sandro and the others, Salin's heart was beating wildly.
"Actually, the Finless Whale isn't that big of a deal. This magical beast is only about 20 meters long, and it only eats small fish. For ships like ours, as long as we don't attack it, the Finless Whale will go around it. The truly dangerous ones are the Blue Flag Flying Fish. They cover the sky the moment they appear and fly in the air like birds. Their beaks are so long that they can pierce through heavy armor. "
Salin thought to himself, Isn't this nonsense? Against heavy armor? There were no Warriors on a ship that wore heavy armor. Apart from magic armor, all Warriors would wear leather armor on the sea, or they would be dead if they fell into the water.
Also, if they could attack through heavy armor, they must be Great Swordsmen. He had heard of the Blue Flag Flying Fish before. They were level-three magical beasts, and there were only a few hundred of them in a school. Covering the sky?
"That time, when I went to Cloud Flow, I didn't take my own ship. There was no magic compass on the ship, but I encountered a school of Blue Flag Flying Fish. There were at least tens of thousands of them on the surface of the sea. I thought I was dead for sure. Those things can't turn when they fly. If they hit a ship, even an ironclad would sink. "
Rex just laughed at Daniel's words and didn't bother to expose the loophole in it. Gao Gen scratched his head and asked, "Then did you survive?"
"Well …" Daniel was a bit embarrassed. They were all Magicians, and no matter how much knowledge they had, he was bragging too much. If the Blue Flag Flying Fish could destroy ironclad warships with their mouths, they would have been hunted on a large scale. They were the best material for Alchemy crossbows, and the arrows made from them would be indestructible.
"Haha …" Shika laughed and pointed at Daniel, not caring at all.
Sandro and Gogan were a bit unhappy. Couldn't a Warrior be more respectful to a Magician? They had lived in Alchemy City for a while, and unknowingly, they had been influenced by the Alchemy City. In fact, they had seen Shika fight with other Swordsmen. Shika's ability was probably close to that of a Great Swordsman.
"Of course I'm not dead. I'm a Necromancer, not a revenant." Daniel was angry.
Shika patted Daniel's shoulder and said, "I'm from the mountains, and I've never seen a Blue Flag Flying Fish. But I know a magical beast that's even scarier than the Blue Flag Flying Fish."
"What is it?" Salin knew that Shika was talking nonsense, but he did not want Daniel to embarrass Shika. If Daniel dared to do that, he would be letting Rex down. No matter what, he had to teach Daniel a lesson.
"Volcano Boar. That magical beast is even longer than this boat, and it runs faster than the Golden-Winged Raven. They also travel in groups, and when they run, they can collapse mountains. Once, when I went hunting, I met a dozen of them. At that time, I thought I was dead for sure … "
"Then, did you die?" Salin asked jokingly. Daniel's face turned red. Now he knew that Shika could not be offended. Salin was obviously siding with this female Warrior.
"Hehe … I don't know. Ask Daniel how he survived first," Shika said provocatively, wrinkling her nose at Daniel. She realized that recently, Daniel seemed to understand that Rex was the one giving orders in the team, and she began to fawn over Rex. This was not a good sign. Salin was not here to do odd jobs for Rex.
"Daniel, just say it. It's boring anyway." Rex's words made Daniel heave a sigh of relief. He really did not want to offend Salin. Salin was always alone with Rex when he was free. He was not sure how the relationship between the two was. Even if he wanted to suck up to Rex, he had to figure out what was going on first.
"Those blue flag flying fish were only a few miles away from my boat. There was no time to change directions. I was about to jump into the sea when a huge magical beast suddenly appeared. It opened its mouth and sucked the blue flag flying fish in. Not even the bones were spat out."
"I understand now. You were eaten by that magical beast later." Shika clapped her hands.
"How is that possible? The magical beast is full. It won't cause trouble for the boat. Otherwise, there are many magical beasts in the sea that can destroy our boat. "
"Makes sense." Shika nodded. "The Volcano Boars I met last time were like this. They thought I was too small, so they ate a whole forest and left."
"Shika, you should be more respectful to Wizard Daniel," Sandro couldn't help but interrupt.
Shika shrugged. She did not want to respect anyone other than Salin. Only an excellent wizard like Salin was worthy of respect. And Fayern was not bad either. Too bad he was dead.
Salin narrowed his eyes and said to Daniel, "Daniel, do you think Shika was disrespectful to you? If so, I'll make her apologize to you. "
Daniel hesitated for a moment. He saw something hidden in Salin's blue eyes that made his heart palpitate. He quickly shook his head and said, "How could there be such a thing? Shika is your friend. Why would she make things difficult for me?"
Daniel's quick surrender surprised Sandro. He frowned. "A Caucasian should not participate in a wizard's conversation."
Salin's smile disappeared. He said to Andrew calmly, "If you don't like her, we won't be sitting here. Take me to the wizard cabin in front."
For the first time, Salin realized how annoying a wizard's sense of superiority could be. He looked down on many people, but he would not say it out loud. Sandro's behavior angered Salin. Even if Shika was not a strong warrior, he was still one of them. What right did he have to lecture another wizard's friend?
Salin was wrong. In Sandro's mind, wizards and wizards would always think the same. Other professionals were different people and had nothing to do with wizards. How could a Caucasian have the right to be a great wizard's friend? That was Sandro's naive way of thinking.
"Salin, that's not what Sandro meant," Rex said.
"He is." Salin stood up. He did not look at Sandro's awkward expression and was about to leave the cabin. The sailors serving them did not know what to do. They did not know if they should ask Juno or leave with Salin.
Rex sighed. Salin's actions would obviously embarrass Sandro. After all, he was a level-four wizard. Salin was young, after all.
"Daniel, do you want to continue chatting here or go enjoy the scenery?" Salin tilted his head and looked at Daniel.
Daniel struggled internally. It was the first time Salin had treated him so forcefully. He was not used to it. So it was all Rex's attitude. Since Rex was strong enough, of course he would give in. But Salin was only a level-four wizard, while he was a level-three necromancer. Generally speaking, their combat abilities were about the same.
His mind worked quickly. He looked at Rex and moved his butt forward, as if he was going to stand up.
Rex knew that if he stood up, he would be slapping Sandro. There was no need to offend him. Thinking of this, Rex said, "Salin, the wizard cabin is too stuffy and the air is not good. I'm afraid I will get seasick if I go."
Hearing this, Daniel's butt immediately stuck to the chair, not willing to move an inch. Rex was making Salin stay, but what he meant was — if you go, I'll go too. How could a wizard get seasick? A bottle of Restoration Water would solve it.
