Nearly a hundred miles of the coast was frozen, and there were many more buildings on the white coast. The prototype of a dock had already been built. However, the continuous chain of large buildings behind the dock seemed to be in the style of a temple. From afar, the style of this dock was very different from any other country's harbor.
There were also puppets working on the coast, and the ones commanding them were low-level mages or even apprentices. The quality of the apprentices on Serrig Island was very high. In just a few months, there were already two apprentices who were about to become level-1 mages.
This was also because of the inheritance. The apprentices on Serrig Island were first selected based on their aptitude, and with the thousand years of magic knowledge accumulated on Serrig Island, these apprentices all had the potential to become great mages.
Other than the fact that they needed to rely on luck to become a Magic Shooter, these apprentices had a bright future ahead of them.
When Sarlin arrived at the coast, the puppets had already stopped working, and there were more than a hundred swordsmen gathered there. Far away on the frozen sea, there was a group of ragged people shivering in the wind and snow.
Sarlin looked at them from afar, and asked the mage beside him, "When did these people appear?"
"They just appeared, Sir Sarlin."
"Haven't talked to them yet?"
"They sent people ashore, but they were chased away. Without your permission, strangers are not allowed to come up here. They said that they met pirates, but pirates won't act in the northern sea during this season. "
Sarlin thought for a moment, and said, "Call Nelis over and set up a tent. Ask those people to send someone to talk. I'll talk to them. "
"Sir Sarlin, these people are very suspicious."
"How so?"
"There are nobles, and they are disguised as commoners. There are even high-level swordsmen among them. "
"There are nobles? That's good. " Sarlin smiled, and patted the mage's shoulder, and said, "Then call this nobleman over, and don't let him bring any followers. Get the swordsmen to call people over, and you guys prepare the scrolls. If they dare to do anything, leave no one alive. "
The mages on Serrig Island had an advantage, and that was that they had more scrolls. They were sent by Jason to follow Sarlin, and the number of scrolls they had was no less than Sarlin's. However, Sarlin had intermediate and high-level scrolls, and these people's levels were not high enough, so they only had low-level scrolls.
Writing scrolls was also an effective way to practice magic. There were many mages on Serrig Island, and they would accumulate a large number of low-level and intermediate-level scrolls through daily practice. There was no shortage of materials on Seriger Island, and the accumulation over the years was terrifying. Salin was able to exchange Blank Scrolls for all the magic scrolls in a warehouse, and that warehouse was not the only one on the island. From this, one could tell how wealthy Serrig Island was.
Under normal circumstances, these low-level Mages were also very powerful. Salin was just unlucky, always encountering stronger enemies. Of course, if not for these powerful enemies, Salin would not have been stimulated to train so crazily. Things in this world are so wonderful. The more hardships you encounter, the greater your achievements will be.
Two senior swordsmen were sent to the frozen sea to walk towards the group of people in distress. That group of people was more than 500 meters away from the shore. Even if they had alchemy crossbows, they wouldn't be able to threaten the people on the shore. Salin's Ice Vision could see a few miles away, and from this position, he could clearly see the movements of the two swordsmen.
There were exactly 180 people in that group. Most of their leather armors were broken, and they were wrapped in blankets, shivering in the cold. A few of them looked strong, but their skills had already surpassed senior swordsmen, and they were already swordsmen.
The swordsmen had formed a strong sword aura in their bodies, which could resist the cold. However, in such an environment, the sword aura would continue to be consumed, and without a place to warm up, these people would freeze to death in three to five days at most.
The two swordsmen from Serrig Island approached them, and began to negotiate with them. Salin watched from afar, and saw that the two swordsmen were talking excitedly about something, and were very rude to the swordsmen from Serrig Island.
The swordsmen from Serrig Island were not angry, and they bowed with their swords, then turned and walked towards the shore. One of the swordsmen was about to draw his sword, but was pulled back by the other.
So arrogant when you're in dire straits? Salin remembered that he was very low-profile when he was in dire straits. However, the swordsmen under the nobles did not have much power, so they had to be more forceful in front of their master to avoid being neglected. Seeing this, Salin already had a plan in mind.
If he helped these people now, they would not appreciate it. Since they did not know what was good for them, he would let them freeze for another day.
Of course, Salin would not send swordsmen to attack these people. Even if these people were suspicious, he could not just kill them as soon as they appeared. Salin was not a homicidal maniac. Also, from their equipment and behavior, they could not be targeting this city base. In the entire team, there were only a dozen swordsmen, and there should be two mages, but they would not be higher than level 3.
With such a force, Salin did not need to do anything himself, the low level mages of Serrig Island could handle it.
Neris had been under the sea, and was summoned by the sound transmission magic circle. She had opened up a sleeping place in the cave of the thunder dragon, where no one could disturb her. If Salin wanted to find her, it would be more convenient than going to the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
"Master." Neris rubbed her eyes, not knowing what was going on.
"Neris, do you think those people are dangerous?" Salin pointed at the hundreds of people on the sea, and asked casually.
Neris glanced at them, and replied, "Very weak, I can handle them alone."
"How do you know?"
"These people do not have murderous intent, there are a dozen swordsmen, and at most one or two of them have killed people." Neris yawned, not knowing why Salin was interested in these people. Couldn't he just capture them and ask them?
Salin did not know whether to laugh or cry. The enemies he had encountered in the past two years were too strong, and he could not accept the sudden appearance of such a group of people.
In fact, this was normal. Generally, it was good to have a low level mage in an adventure team. This team had two mages and a dozen swordsmen, which was considered a good force under normal circumstances.
Salin's vision was now higher, so he did not look at these people. He had two level 4 mages by his side, as well as several low level mages and a large number of apprentices. Even if there were no more than 200 swordsmen left, this was still a force that could not be ignored. If any noble could have so many mages, they would quickly rise in the local area.
Even in the Qinyin Empire, the noble leaders in each city could at most have one great mage. The magic tower outside the city was not a force that the nobles could control.
There were now simple fortifications on the coast, and alchemy crossbows were set up in a few stone houses, facing the sea. Even if these people were angry, they did not dare to go near the coast. Indeed, not long after, a young man walked out of the crowd. He pushed away the two swordsmen and walked towards the coast alone.
This young man was tall and somewhat thin, wearing a black fur coat without any decoration. It did not look luxurious. The real expensive fur was made from the skin of magical beasts, and the lighter the color, the more valuable it was. This pure black fur was rare among the nobles, and was usually worn by merchants.
Salin did not enter the stone house, as the environment was not conducive for mages to fight. He had only mastered the crystal finger, and could not use it in battle. He asked his men to set up a tent, and sat inside with Neris, waiting for the young man's arrival.
The young man did not have the arrogance of a noble. He came to the coast, climbed up the suggested ladder built by the swordsmen of Seriger Island, and walked towards Salin's tent. Outside the tent, two senior swordsmen stopped him.
"Take off your sword."
The young noble frowned, and the two swordsmen looked at him stubbornly. The young noble smiled, took off his sword, and said softly, "There are so many of you, do you need to be afraid of me?"
"I'm not afraid of you, but in front of Sir Salin, you are not qualified to carry a sword." The swordsman's reply was not polite. They came from Seriger Island, and the rule on the island was that mages were the most powerful. Unless these two senior swordsmen became sword saints, they would not be able to obtain a high status. In their hearts, Salin was many times more noble than this young noble.
"Sir?" The young noble thought for a moment, and did not argue. He walked into the tent and saw Salin and Neris. There was not a bit of anger in his heart.
Salin was wearing a gray magic robe, and he did not add any clothes in this season. He only tied up his long black hair, and it was convenient to wear a hood.
The gray magic robe could only be worn by great mages. If an ordinary person wanted to wear it for fun, and was found out, they might be executed. The young noble saw that the other party was about the same age as him, and was already a great mage. The pride in his heart was completely extinguished, and he understood the swordsman's words.
"Sir Mage, forgive my rudeness." The young noble lowered his head, as an apology for what he said just now. There was indeed no need to be afraid of a great mage.
Salin's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the young noble did not have an Adam's apple, so he must be a woman in disguise. He smiled, and said, "Sit."
The tent was very big, but there were no tables or chairs, and the ground was covered with animal skins. The young nobleman, who was dressed as a man, smiled, looking rather heroic. She sat down, and said, "Sir Mage, why are you so careful, we are just refugees."
How could Salin be tricked by her? He smiled, and said, "You are a lady, right? It is rare for a lady to be a noble. Compared to your family, it is also very powerful, how did you end up here? "
Salin heard that this woman had Qin Yin's accent, so he did not have too many reservations, and directly asked about her background.
The woman laughed heartily, and said, "Sir Mage, you are not from Qin Yin, it is difficult for me to answer your question. Am I considered a captive? "
Her words had many meanings. She could hear that Salin's accent was not pure, and was not from Qin Yin. The swordsman's accent was also a bit strange, as if he was from a remote place in the south. With such a group of people gathered in the north, if she was an enemy of Qin Yin, she was indeed a captive. If she was a captive, she could only wait for her family to pay the ransom, but she might not have to answer Salin's question.
