Friends? Daniel didn't quite understand how a mage and a warrior could be friends.
"Daniel, get back to work. Salin has something important to do." Seeing that Daniel was lost in thought, Rex could only remind him that his work wasn't done yet. Daniel nodded gloomily. He only knew how to raise the shell of the Coiled Turtle with its long horn and set up the alchemy magic circle bit by bit under it.
This kind of refinement was extremely crude. If one really wanted to build a magic ship, they would need a huge factory, dock, hundreds of mages and apprentices, and a Magic Shooter to lead the operation of the core refinement circle.
Rex was worrying about how to combine the magic veins on the Coiled Turtle with her alchemy machinery when a metal whistle suddenly came from afar.
"Someone is coming to the island. Daniel, go and take a look." Rex immediately stopped what she was doing. She climbed out of the Coiled Turtle's shell, cast the Wind Soaring Spell, and flew into the air. She landed on the magic tower and hid herself. Releasing magic from this height was the best position for mages to fight.
Daniel held Peaches' horn, flipped over, and rode on the head in the middle of Peaches' head. He stood on it, and walked towards the sea.
On the shore of Ghost Fog Island, a wooden ship over forty meters long dropped its anchor far away, and a few small boats were released from the ship. The people on the boats were all fierce-looking men. These people wore leather armor and held sharp blades. They shouted at each other, but they were using Myers language.
"One-Eye, hurry up and row. Did you not eat? What the f * ck is this island? We haven't found it after traveling on this sea route for a few years. Be alert, there might be some treasures on this island. "
The person shouting loudly carried a large blade. The blade was hollow, and its weight was relatively lighter. He had a thick beard, and the color of the beard was yellow and curved. The big ship behind him lowered the sails, but did not put away the flag with the skull on it. In the coastal areas around the Myers Continent, such a flag represented their identity — pirates.
There were many kinds of pirates. Those who raised the flag so openly might not be ruthless. After hijacking a cargo ship, they would sometimes ask for a ransom and return the ship to the owner. What they feared the most were pirates disguised as merchant ships. At sea, such pirates would not leave any survivors. After plundering the goods, they would sink the ship on the spot. The crew will be tied up in the lower cabins. No one will be able to escape.
This pirate ship was forty meters long. The bow of the ship was equipped with a giant crossbow, and the stern was equipped with a stone cannon. Ordinary merchant ships wouldn't dare to escape if they encountered them.
There were more than twenty pirates on the three small boats, all of them aggressively approaching the shore.
Before their boat could dock on the shore, loud footsteps came from the depths of the island. A three-headed monster pounced on the shore. The pirates were momentarily stunned.
"Release the arrows, quickly release the arrows!" The yellow-bearded pirate was the first to react, but how could the people on the big ship hear him?
Daniel stood on top of Peuce's head and scanned the area with his eyes. He saw the three small boats that were about to turn around and run away. The green undead flames behind him swelled up, and a bit of it seeped into Peuce's head.
The two heads on the side of Petheus suddenly said, "Everyone, stop!"
This voice rumbled out. The pirates on the three small boats ran even faster, desperately paddling the oars, afraid that they would be eaten by the monster that spoke human language.
Pirates were also afraid of death. There were no magicians on the ship. These people really didn't have the courage to face the three-headed monster.
Daniel was stunned. He looked up and saw the pirates on the anchored ship in the distance. After they reacted, they actually began to pull up the sails, trying to escape.
Daniel bent down and patted Peuce's head. On the right side of Peuce's head, a pair of long horns began to emit a gray light. The two horns surged endlessly, forming a magic rune that was more than a meter in diameter.
The pirate ship was still anchored a few hundred meters away. Because it was worried about the reef, it didn't dock. Daniel's own magic couldn't attack that far, so he could only borrow the power of the undead.
Peuce lowered his head and let out a low roar. The magic rune formed between the two horns on the right side of his head spun rapidly, releasing a huge gray magic bomb.
This gray magic bomb glided across the sea and directly hit the main mast of the pirate ship.
The thick main mast was hit by the gray magic bullet and suddenly snapped in the middle. There was a cloud of gray dust at the broken part of the mast, as if the mast had been on the ship for thousands of years and had completely decayed.
The pirates on the sea were instantly at a loss. They couldn't get close to the shore, and they couldn't run. The three monsters could attack from hundreds of meters away. This was simply shocking.
It wasn't that these pirates hadn't seen magic beasts before, but most magic beasts in the sea liked to attack with their physical strength and rarely used magic. This three-headed monster broke the mast with a magic missile. The pirates were in a mess and were about to jump into the sea to escape.
"Stop where you are, or I'll attack the hull next time." Daniel controlled Peuce. His voice was like muffled thunder, spreading out on the sea.
Rex heard Daniel's voice even from the magic tower. She shook her head and jumped down. She stopped at the window on the sixth floor for a moment. She saw that Salin was no longer inside.
"Neris, where's Salin?" Rex asked loudly.
Neris stuck her head out of the window and said to Rex, "He said he was going to catch pirates."
Pirates? Rex was confused. Salin didn't show any signs of leaving the magic tower. How did he know that pirates were coming from the sea? Besides, he had been at the front door of the magic tower the whole time. How did he get out?
Salin's body was surrounded by dense water vapor like a dark cloud. The airflow formed by the water element was even more stable than the Wind Soaring spell. He rushed to the seaside, and the sharp metal whistle was the signal for the pirate ship to lower its sails. If there were pirates, there would be ships. If Salin wasn't forced, he wouldn't want to sit in the alchemy ship made by the Coiled Turtle.
This thing was definitely very rough and had many problems. If he was trapped inside, he would suffocate to death in the sea no matter how capable he was. No matter how old the pirate ship was, it was still good at resisting wind and waves. As long as he seized this ship, Rex wouldn't have to refine his alchemy ship for the time being.
Salin was afraid that he would be too slow. Peuce's necromancy was no joke. One hit and the pirate ship would sink.
"Stop!" Salin yelled at Daniel as he flew to the sea. His voice traveled very far, and the pirates on the pirate ship really stopped moving this time. They saw a huge dark cloud flying in the sky, and there was a deafening roar coming from the dark cloud.
Archmage …
"Who's the captain!" Salin's voice spread out on the sea. Even the sound of the waves couldn't suppress his words.
"I am." At the bow of the pirate ship, a short pirate with a face full of scars stood out. He wore expensive magic leather armor and didn't have any weapons in his hands. However, Salin saw the dagger hidden behind his waist.
"Very good." Salin raised his hand. A white ray of light shot out from the dark cloud and accurately hit the pirate's chest. An ice arrow pierced through his heart. Before the pirate could say anything else, he was shot to death by Salin.
The pirate captain didn't expect Salin to kill him. He was ambushed and didn't have the strength to resist at all.
"Who's the captain now?" Salin slightly dispersed the dark cloud and revealed his face. He was only flying at a height of a dozen meters, completely within the range of the bow and arrow. However, none of the pirates dared to touch the bow.
The captain was an intermediate swordsman after all. He was actually killed by this Magician in one shot.
"Answer me!" Salin dispersed the cloud again. His long hair danced in the surging mist. His face was covered in sunlight, giving off a golden glow.
He floated at the bow of the ship and looked around at the pirates. A skinny pirate suddenly had an idea. He knelt on the deck and looked up at Salin. "You're, you're the captain!"
There were more than a hundred pirates on the ship. When they heard this pirate's words, they looked at each other. They also wanted to flatter him, but it was still a question if a Magician would be happy to be the captain of a pirate ship. Perhaps this Magician would take the flattery as an insult. If that was the case, it would be troublesome.
Salin's perception dispersed along with the mist. He carefully investigated the situation on the pirate ship. After confirming that there were no Magicians, he slowly said, "I'm the captain. Does anyone have any objections?"
The pirates finally understood Salin's meaning. This Magician really wanted to steal the ship. The pirates cursed in their hearts. They knew a lot about professionals, and knew that Magicians who could fly were all Level Six Magicians. If this Magician wanted money, he could just create a few scrolls. Why did he have to steal this ship?
This ship was worth no more than ten thousand gold coins at most. Was this Magician sick?
"Very well. Since I'm the captain, listen to my orders and pull the ship to the shore." After Salin finished speaking, he rode the air current formed by the mist and flew back to the shore, landing beside Daniel. Peaches, who was at his feet, was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to make any threatening movements towards Salin.
Salin secretly panted. He wasn't familiar with controlling the air current formed by the mist, and his magic string wasn't enough to support flying for a long time. In order to intimidate the pirates, he forced himself to hover in the air for a moment. If he continued, he would be exposed. These hundred or so pirates all had martial arts skills. They were at least beginner swordsmen. Salin wasn't afraid of fighting with these pirates, but if he killed all of them, who would sail the ship?
The hundred or so pirates and sailors on the ship were frightened by Salin. This time, they didn't dare to think of escaping. He was a Great Magician. Could you swim faster than a Magician fly?
The people on the three small boats were the first to go ashore. Salin had them stand in front of Peaches and form a line. The pirates didn't have any training. Their individual martial arts skills might be good, but the line was crooked. Moreover, Peaches' three huge heads were still grinding his teeth at them. The pirates' legs were trembling. It was already good enough that they could stand.
"I need a first mate. That'll be you. What's your name?" Salin pointed at the yellow-bearded pirate who was the first to come ashore. This pirate was still in shock. Hearing Salin's words, he relaxed slightly. Salin didn't plan to kill them. That was good. They were pirates, so it didn't matter who they followed.
