The ship didn't always move in a straight line. Determining the direction required not only a compass, but also the experience of the captain. Pirates traveled on the sea all year round, and scheming pirates like Jupiter secretly learned from them. Under the control of the pirates, this pirate ship did not encounter any problems along the way.
Salin and Scica sat on the watchtower and watched the rising waves. They were very calm. In two days, the pirates took turns steering the ship and actually traveled more than a thousand miles. If they were on the road, they wouldn't be able to move so fast.
The pirate ship was 40 meters long. It wasn't much compared to a warship, but there weren't many monsters to harass them.
The sea was blue and the sky was green. A gentle breeze caressed his face. That day, Salin was feeling bored. Suddenly, the sound of a metal whistle came from the bow of the ship.
"Huh? Scica, we're in trouble. "
Scica stood up and asked, "What should we do?"
"Go down, it's too eye-catching here. If I tell you to jump, jump immediately. Go to the back!" Salin said and jumped down from the watchtower. Scica put on her gloves, grabbed the rope, and slid down as well. She didn't know magic, so she didn't dare to jump like Salin. Even if she wasn't hurt, the ship wouldn't be able to withstand her smash. Her weapon was too heavy.
Daniel quickly appeared on the deck. Jupiter also came to Salin's side.
"See what it is?" Salin's cold vision didn't detect the enemy. Jupiter had an alchemy telescope and could see further than Salin. In fog or bad weather, Salin's cold vision wouldn't be affected, but the telescope wouldn't.
"It's Qin Yin's warships. There are three."
"Warships? Don't hide. We can't outrun them. Use flag signals to communicate. Tell them we're going to Alchemy City. See how they react. Unload the arrows from the heavy crossbows and prepare the stone cannons. "
"Yes, Sir."
Jupiter turned around and was about to leave when Salin called out to him, "Jupiter, if there's any danger, come to me."
Jupiter's body paused for a moment before he strode toward the bow of the ship.
It was Qin Yin's warship. It definitely had a magic compass. Before Salin discovered them, they'd already discovered Salin's pirate ship. Although the pirate ship had taken down the pirate flag, the appearance of the hull had not changed. A proper merchant ship would not blindly pursue speed and give up loading space.
The pirate ship sailed towards the three battleships. The pirates in the lower decks had already gathered in the oars. If they were to really fight, they would have to rely on these oars to speed up.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship that had been towing behind the pirate ship suddenly sank at a depth of more than 20 meters before stopping.
"Daniel, if there's a conflict, you'll have to wait until you've boarded the enemy's warship before you can release Petheus." Daniel's undead creature was huge. If it was released on a pirate ship, before anyone could attack, everything on the deck would be destroyed.
Near undead creatures, items that were not enchanted with magic would accelerate the aging process. For example, the ropes and sails on the ship were ordinary items that could not be more ordinary. Petheus could turn them into ashes with a single breath.
The three Qin Yin warships were now visible to the naked eye. With Salin's Ice Vision, he could see even more clearly that all three ships had the symbol of Alchemy City. Black iron armor was draped on the side of the ship. Even if it was hit by a stone cannon, it might not be damaged. Each ship was more than 100 meters long. There was a magic stone cannon on the bow of the ship. There were people waving flags and communicating with the people on the pirate ship.
The pirate ship slowed down and began to retract its sails. When the two sides were two miles apart, the pirate ship had completely stopped moving forward. The Qin Yin warship in front put down a small boat and rowed over.
The small boat was very fast. It was about 10 meters long, and there were ten sailors paddling the oars. There was a man in leather armor standing at the bow of the ship. He was tall, and his leather armor was dyed black. He carried a heavy sword on his back. When the small boat was about 100 meters away from the pirate ship, the man in black armor leaped up and drew a thin white line on the sea. He pounced on the pirate ship.
Even Jupiter could tell that this guy in magic armor had a much higher level than him. Although he was not flying, he was probably as strong as the Black Iron Sword Saint.
"Who's the captain!" The Black Iron Sword Saint jumped onto the bow of the ship and drew his sword.
Jupiter remembered Salin's words, but he still walked forward, saluted, and said, "General, the captain is behind."
"Let him come see me!" This Sword Saint's voice was loud, and he looked dignified. He had a dark red face, and the beard on his chin was clean-shaven. Seeing Jupiter hesitate, the Sword Saint raised the heavy sword in his hand lightly with an unhappy expression.
"General, the captain is a great Mage. I don't dare to greet him," Jupiter hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" The Black Iron Sword Saint was also stunned. He had never heard of a Mage being the captain. He expected that this yellow-bearded guy would not dare to lie to him, so he softened his tone and said, "This is clearly a pirate ship. Are you trying to lie to me?"
When he said this, he was not angry. Jupiter felt that the other party's sword aura was extremely sharp. It was a temperament that could only be cultivated after a long time on the battlefield.
"General, we were captured by a Mage. How would we dare to lie to you? He's on the back deck. I can take you there. "
Captured? The Black Iron Sword Saint looked at the pirates around him. They were all clean, and their armor was neat and uniform. They did not look like people who roamed the sea all year round.
Great Mages … Although he was not afraid, in Alchemy City, a Sword Saint like him did not have a high status. There was no need to offend a Mage. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Then take me to the Mage."
Salin and Shika were on the back deck. They had long felt a strong aura approaching. Salin did not hesitate to release the Ice Pattern Armor first, and then a Water Pattern Shield. The Water Pattern Shield emitted a faint mist. Then, he added the Ice Pattern Armor on Shika. Only then did he look forward.
Jupiter led the Black Iron Sword Saint to the back deck. When the Sword Saint saw Salin, he half believed him. Although Salin was young, the temperament on his face was that of an orthodox Mage. Their eyes met. The Black Iron Sword Saint stopped and did not walk too close.
He saw the magic shield on the young Mage and knew that if he continued to walk forward, it would cause a misunderstanding.
"How should I address you?" Salin asked calmly.
"Morpheus, you are?"
"Salin Metatlin. Morpheus, are you from Alchemy City? "
"Yes, Mr. Salin. How did you come here?" Although Morpheus was not arrogant towards Salin, he was responsible for patrolling this area. He had been searching for seven days and still could not find the Cloud Flow Warship mentioned in the report. Naturally, he would not let go of any clues.
Alchemy City had sent out a large number of warships this time. The search distance was getting further and further. It would be too dangerous to go further. It was not easy to meet a living person. Of course, he would ask for details.
"I followed the Alchemy City's hunting fleet out to sea. We were attacked by a mysterious warship and fell into the sea to escape. I met this pirate ship and captured the pirates. I was planning to go back to Alchemy City to ask them."
"Oh? So you are a Mage living in Alchemy City? "
"Yes!"
"Then follow me back to the warship. I have something to ask you. The hunting fleet was attacked, and we have not found any survivors. "
"If I go back, what about the captives?" Salin asked, troubled.
"Tell them to follow us obediently. If they don't listen, just sink this ship," Morpheus said nonchalantly.
"This ship belongs to me now!" Salin was afraid that Alchemy City would attack without distinguishing between friend and foe. The ship was not worth much, but he had no way of recruiting sailors to put it on.
Morpheus put away his sword and put on a smile. He said to Salin, "It's fine. Alchemy City can afford it. Mr. Mage, it is not safe for you to be surrounded by a group of pirates. Come back to the warship with me."
Salin could not argue with Morpheus. He and Shika were confident that they could deal with a Black Iron Sword Saint, but there were still three warships behind them. They could blow this ship into pieces. Salin did not want to engage in a meaningless conflict. Moreover, there was a secret Alchemy Ship tied to the pirate ship. If they were discovered, it was hard to say whether the other party would suspect the origins of the Alchemy Ship.
Salin thought about it and said to Daniel, "You stay on this ship and watch them. Jupiter, you come with me."
Among the pirates on this ship, Jupiter was considered a talent. He knew a lot about sailing, and his combat ability was not bad. He had also been a magic apprentice before. Salin did not want anything to happen to him.
Calling Shika, the three followed Morpheus to the small ship from Alchemy City's warship.
The three huge warships were about a mile apart, arranged in a triangular formation. Salin was brought to the warship in the middle.
"Mr. Mage, please follow me." Morpheus boarded the warship. He did not have the domineering aura from before. He suddenly became docile. Salin was stunned. He immediately understood that there was an archmage from Alchemy City on this ship.
The deck of the warship was four levels high. Salin followed Morpheus to the highest level and came to a spacious cabin. Morpheus turned around and said, "Mage Salin, the people you want to see are not from the Elemental Hand. Everything should be explained from the beginning. We have been at sea for a long time, and we have no contact with Alchemy City. "
"I understand." Salin nodded. He pushed the door open and walked in.
There was a fragrant smell in the cabin. Salin smelled it familiar. This kind of magic spice could be controlled by a mage at any time to blend with the smell of any environment. It was a high-level magic potion. Rex often used it, but the spice Rex used was even rarer than this.
There were three people in the cabin. Salin felt dizzy just looking at them. There were two men and one woman. The handsome man wore a black magician's robe. There was an eye-catching magic symbol on his robe, indicating that he was a Level-Seven Magic Shooter.
