Facing such a powerful weapon, Salin didn't dare to show himself immediately. Rex was in the air, but she couldn't hide. The airflow on the surface of her body suddenly became intense, forming a wind magic shield — level-five spell, Wind Shield.
This was the only spell that allowed a mage to use it without worry while flying. The air currents swirled around Rex's body, making her magic robe flutter in the wind.
"Who is it?!" Rex knew that Nelis had killed someone, so she spoke very firmly. If you act sneakily now, you will be suspected even if you didn't do it.
Her voice spread over the sea. The people on the ship were very surprised. They didn't expect to meet a top archmage here.
"Sir, can you come down and talk?" A deep voice sounded. Rex looked down and saw a tall man in black iron armor walk to the front deck.
Rex swooped to the deck like a big bird. If they didn't know that she was an archmage, the people on the ship would've attacked her. Rex's figure was no different from that of a great swordsman. Everyone was thinking that she was a battle mage!
Some Mages focused on battles. Only in battles could they understand the true meaning of magic. This kind of Mage wasn't difficult to deal with, as long as you didn't mess with him.
"Master, can you hear what's being said on the ship?" Nelis asked.
Salin shook his head. He didn't expect Rex to board the ship. He didn't know Rex's intention yet. Was she hiding the fact that Nelis had killed someone, or was she trying to take the ship?
Taking the ship seemed impossible. After all, they weren't pirates. But if they followed this ship, they didn't even know who they were. Salin would never trust strangers he met by chance.
"Salin, come out." Rex shouted in Salin's direction. Salin and Nelis stood up. Everyone on the ship was shocked. They observed with the alchemy telescope for a long time, but they didn't notice the two people hiding on the turtle's back. Although it was because of the angle, the two hid their scent so well that even the captain didn't notice them.
A rope was lowered from the ship, and the boat was lowered. Salin and Nelis boarded the ship, and the boat went to pick up Sicar and Daniel.
Rex said to Salin with a smile, "Come here, let me introduce you to Captain Freddie."
Salin raised his head. Captain Freddie was nearly a head taller than him, wearing black iron armor without a helmet. The man was in his thirties or forties. He had a handsome face and a short beard. His skin looked a lot fairer under the illumination of the magic lamp, but it was still a healthy color.
"This is Mage Salin, my friend. This is … Salin's maid." Rex glared at Nelis. Nelis had almost caused trouble. There were at least thirty to fifty swordsmen on this ship, and Freddie was definitely a sword saint. Judging from the alchemy machines, there were at least two mages on the ship.
Fortunately, Nelis was clean and did not leave any evidence. The other party could not observe underwater in the dark, and with just a swipe of the Dragon Tooth Dagger, four people died.
If it was on land, Nelis might not be able to do it so secretly. She returned to her original form in the sea, and her body was even more agile than a fish in the sea.
"Mage Salin is so lucky. Haha, come, let's talk in the cabin. Go prepare food for the mages. You brats, what are you dawdling for? Go tie up the Coiled Turtle. If it sinks, I'll have your heads to pay for it! "
"Yes! Captain! "
The sailors dispersed, and only two people were left beside Freddie. These two people showed their difference now. Salin noticed that they were younger than Freddie, and slightly more powerful. Freddie might be a sword saint, but these two expressionless guys should be at the level of black iron sword saints.
Freddie generously took the Coiled Turtle for himself. Salin felt bitter, but he could not refute. It was true that Nelis had killed this thing, but even without Nelis, they could still capture it. Nelis had also secretly killed a few of their people. Salin did not have the courage to argue for a while.
Silva and Daniel were picked up on the big ship. Freddie was considerate. He first arranged a room for Daniel, who was still in a coma, and then held a banquet in his cabin to entertain Rex.
He watched helplessly as the sailors put down a large number of leather bags in the sea. These leather bags were connected by iron chains, which were connected to the Coiled Turtle's neck and limbs. These leather bags were filled with air to prevent the Coiled Turtle's corpse from sinking into the sea.
Finally, the sailors hung the chains at the back of the big ship and dragged the Coiled Turtle's corpse away.
"Mr. Freddie, where are you from?" Salin asked weakly. He was not shameless enough to think that the Coiled Turtle was his, but he was not in a good mood. Judging from Freddie's words, they had accidentally discovered this Coiled Turtle and followed it for more than half a month before finding the opportunity tonight.
"The Nation of Wind God." Freddie's answer made Salin's heart tremble. Legend had it that there were more than a hundred island countries outside the Myers Continent. It was just that the strength of humans had weakened, and they had long lost control of the islands overseas. But the records of the Nation of Wind God had only appeared in the last thousand years.
"The Nation of Wind God is number one among the hundred overseas countries." Salin remembered such a record in a notebook.
The so-called number one was a bloody reality. The islands overseas had never been unified, and the conquest had never stopped.
"Do you know about the Nation of Wind God?" Freddie saw Salin's expression. That kind of reaction couldn't be hidden from a person like him.
"I have only read about it in a book." Salin recalled the description in the notebook. The people of the Nation of Wind God seemed to be savage enough. For a wizard to use the word savage to describe them, it could be seen what kind of country the Nation of Wind God was. Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Salin's face, as if Freddie was a relative he hadn't seen for many years.
"Come, drink, drink!" Freddie picked up the bowl, and without waiting for Salin to answer, he drank it first.
Salin picked up the bowl, looked at the turbid wine inside, and thought, 'This Freddie is also a Sacred Swordsman, but he still drinks this kind of inferior wine. Is the Nation of Wind God really so powerful that even a Sacred Swordsman is nothing? ' He cast a poison detection spell and first checked if there was anything wrong with the wine, then raised the bowl and drank it in one gulp like Freddie.
The two young men beside Freddie saw Salin checking if the wine was poisoned and said angrily, "You, the captain is kind enough to treat you to a drink, do you think we would poison you?"
Salin raised his head, his eyes clear. He put down the wine bowl and said indifferently, "You two, the Qin Yinyu is not bad!"
The two young men immediately became embarrassed, and Freddie laughed and said, "Salin, you are quite vigilant, but this is what a good wizard should be. We often travel in Qin Yinyu, and in this year, we have to speak Qin Yinyu for half a year. If we are not careful, we will jump out. "
Seeing Freddie admit it calmly and stop talking in Myers, Salin nodded and said, "No matter where I eat, I will check if there is poison. A wizard can't compare to a swordsman. If a swordsman discovers that the food is poisonous, he can control it with sword aura. A wizard's body isn't that strong. Besides, some poisons can't be withstood no matter how strong the body is. That Coiled Turtle was poisoned to death by me. "
"Oh? There is such a thing? Why didn't anyone tell me! "Freddie had a surprised expression. Salin saw this and was both angry and amused. Freddie was twice Salin's age, and now he had a shameless expression on his face. It was obvious that he didn't want to spit out the Coiled Turtle.
"Captain, if I want to buy the Coiled Turtle, how much money do I need?" Salin didn't beat around the bush. This Coiled Turtle's shell was very important to Rex. Rex didn't ask because he was under someone else's roof. What else could he say after being saved by them?
This ship looked like an ordinary hunting ship, but its actual configuration was similar to an empire's warship. The number of experts on the ship also made Salin vexed. Other than admitting that he was unlucky and paying for it, what else could he do?
"Money? You mean gold coins? The Divine Wind Nation doesn't lack that. " Freddie didn't directly refuse, but he also made it very clear that it was impossible to buy this Coiled Turtle with gold coins. Unless Salin could take out something that could be exchanged for it.
Salin glanced at Rex, and Rex shook his head. The things that she and Salin had that could be exchanged for the Coiled Turtle all had questionable origins. It involved a lot of secrets.
The people of the Divine Wind Nation were far away from the continent, but they frequently traveled to Qinyin, and the empire didn't know about it. They might have some evil intentions. She and Salin looked like they were in a difficult situation now. If they took out anything valuable, forget about the trade, it was a problem whether the other party would let them go.
Even merchants on the sea would occasionally pretend to be bandits, not to mention this unknown captain of a foreign country.
The construct puppets couldn't be sold anymore. Two had sunk to the bottom of the sea during the octopus' attack, and two had been sold to Alchemy City. Rex only had one unmutated construct puppet left. Salin thought carefully. Since it was a Coiled Turtle, the other party was only trying to make armor, and probably didn't want to make a ship.
"Captain Freddie, what's the best armor in the Divine Wind Nation?"
"Magic heavy armor." Freddie looked at Salin, confused. Could this Level-4 Mage really have something that was as valuable as the Coiled Turtle? If he did, he wouldn't mind pretending to be a pirate.
"You're going to Qinyin to buy weapons, right? If you send us back, this Coiled Turtle is worth hundreds of sets of magic heavy armor. What do you think? "
Freddie stroked his short beard and looked at Salin, hesitating. The shell of the Coiled Turtle was a very good magic material, but making armor was extremely time-consuming. Even if there were enough manpower, it would still take more than a decade to make such a huge thing into armor.
He couldn't afford to wait more than a decade. The problem was, was this young Mage telling the truth? Could it be that he really had hundreds of sets of magic armor at Qinyin's port? In Qinyin, this was a crime punishable by death!
"You're a Mage. How can you have so much armor?" Freddie's voice turned cold. If Salin was deliberately lying to him, he wasn't a kind person. He would definitely teach this young Mage a lesson.
