Salin had impolitely told the Eastern Sea Mage to go to hell. The Fourth-level Mage racked his brains and finally realized that the young Mage in front of him could not be moved by flowery words.
In the countries of the Eastern Sea, words had always been the most powerful weapon. Even before a battle, both sides would engage in a battle of words to suppress each other's momentum. As for this young mage, he was like a towering mountain facing the sea. No matter how the waves hit him for thousands of years, he remained unmoved.
Salin sneered as he looked at the mage. His right hand was already on the silver magic book. As long as he flipped open the book, he would be able to release the magic stored within. This magic book was extremely convenient to use, and the number of spells stored in it was more than ten times that of a magic staff. It was more than enough to deal with the Mage in front of him.
Salin wanted the sea map and star map of the Eastern Sea. He already had the intention of opening up this route in the future. Although the countries of the East China Sea had sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the Myers Continent, Salin could see that the countries in the East China Sea were too small, and there were too many of them. It was difficult for them to truly unite. Otherwise, Qin Yin's northern side would have opened up a new situation by now.
This expeditionary force had exposed a huge weakness, and the warships of the Eastern Sea were not strong enough. They were about the same level as the warships of Cloud Flow City, but not as strong as the warships of Seriger Island. As long as he was not surrounded, Salin's Dragon Skeleton Warship could deal with dozens of them one by one.
If there were no Magic Shooters in the East Sea fleet, Salin could even rely on the repeated sneak attacks of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship to gradually nibble away at them.
If it weren't for this seemingly powerful expeditionary force, Salin wouldn't have even thought of this. Once the expeditionary army failed and the Eastern Sea countries suffered a great blow, Salin would only need a few dozen warships to flatten the Eastern Sea.
He did not have dozens of warships now, but he would have them in two years. There were quite a number of warships on Seriga Island, and they had specialized shipbuilders. As long as they had the materials, they could build more warships at any time.
The Level Four Mage knew that it was a matter of life and death. Salin's eyes grew colder and colder. It was obvious that he had lost his patience. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Mage, the route is in the hands of the Magic Shooters. It is impossible for me to have it unless you capture a Magic Shooter. Or maybe there are generals in the expeditionary army, but there are definitely no mages like us.
Salin was a little surprised. This Level-4 Magus actually called himself a Little Magus. In Myers Continent, once one advanced to rank 4, everyone would give respect to a mage. It seemed that mages didn't have a high status in the East Sea countries.
Salin had guessed correctly. In the countries of the East Sea, the status of mages was similar to that of swordsmen. There was not much special treatment. Only by becoming a Magic Shooter could one gain respect. That was because there were many assassins in the East Sea. Before a mage became a Magic Shooter, it was very easy for them to be assassinated.
Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the political situation in the East Sea was related to assassinations. In Donghai, assassins were the most terrifying existence. There was no professional guild there, but there was the Assassin League.
"So you're saying that you're useless?" Salin did not see the Level-4 Mage's expression of seeking death. He knew that the Mage still had something to say, so he used words to provoke him.
"No, no, Sir Mage, there is another way to obtain this route."
"If it's too troublesome, I don't want to know," Salin said calmly, but he did not take action immediately.
The Level Four Mage said helplessly, "Of course, I am willing to pay the price for this trouble."
Salin couldn't help but laugh when he saw how shameless he was. "Tell me about it."
"Sir Mage, can we go down and talk? I can't hold on any longer. "The Level Four Mage begged. He was relying on the magic stored in his magic wand to barely fly. The magic in the magic wand was about to be exhausted. If he did not descend, he would fall into the sea. With his physique, he would freeze to death in less than half an hour.
"If I'm not satisfied with what you give me, then …"
"Sir, please let my companions go." The Mage begged. The fire on the warship was still burning fiercely.
"If the information you give me is important enough, I will kill those people to silence them. If I don't like the information you give me, those people will still die. Come with me. " Salin ignored the Mage's request. He released a cloud of mist in front of him, wrapped the Level Four Mage, and flew back.
He could not save the Mage's companions. As long as they died, the Mage would never be able to return to the East Sea, because the people of the East Sea would never trust this Mage again. Why is everyone dead and only you alive?
The human heart was the hardest thing to fathom. Salin had learned this trick from Neris.
The magic wand could no longer release the Fly ability. The Level Four Mage flew back with Salin, not daring to attack Salin. Salin once again hid in the cloud of mist. Moreover, without Salin, he would fall into the sea.
Salin quickly found the Dragon Skeleton Warship. He landed with the Level Four Mage, and directly entered the cabin on the deck. Neris saw that Salin had brought back a captive. She rolled her eyes and chased everyone out of the room, leaving only Sicar and herself.
Neris did not think that Salin would be softhearted and take in a captive. When Salin saw the swordsman's corpse on Serrig Island, Neris directly felt the sorrow in the depths of his soul.
This captive must have some secrets. Since it was a secret, the fewer people who knew, the better.
However, Neris did not dare to chase Sicar away. Not only was Sicar more powerful than her, her position in Salin's heart was not lower than hers. Moreover, this person was going to give birth to her master's child. There was no need to provoke her.
Neris gave Salin a chair and added one for Sicar. She stood beside Salin. The Level Four Mage saw that the young Mage who had captured him only had two women by his side. What if he launched a sneak attack?
Forget it, there were still hundreds of swordsmen and a Level Five Mage outside. Even if he injured this Mage, he would not escape. When he saw Salin's half-smile, he suddenly became clear-headed.
So what if there was no one outside? Could he sail such a big ship alone? If not, did he have to swim back?
"Sir Mage, my name is Aesop Faustian."
"Salin."
"Sir Salin, I can sign a contract with you first to guarantee that what I said is the truth."
"There's no need for that. There are loopholes in the contract. If you keep the contract and hide something from me, I won't be able to kill you. Just say it. Everyone in this room can tell if you're lying to me or not."
Since he had subdued the Three Lords, Salin knew that there were loopholes in magic contracts.
The strength of a magic contract was that it could not be violated, but the words on the contract could create an illusion that the contract was fair or extremely unfair.
Aesop smiled bitterly and completely gave up on the idea of fooling Salin.
"Sir Salin, I'd better talk about the important things first. The sea chart and star chart from the East Sea to the Myers Continent can only be obtained from Magic Shooters. Although you are powerful, it is impossible to catch a Magic Shooter in the army. "
"Magic Shooters! Last month, I even killed one. "Salin recalled the Magic Shooter that was killed by the Three Sovereigns and said casually.
Aesop was stunned, but he knew that Salin was just saying it casually and was not refuting him. Even if Salin could kill a Magic Shooter, it was only under special circumstances. It was still impossible to go to the Alliance Camp to capture someone.
"But Sir, if you want to go to the East Sea, you may not have to obtain the sea chart and star chart directly."
"You mean the magic compass? I've tried, and the information on the magic compass on all the ships was erased by the mages. "Salin knew what Aesop was talking about and interrupted him directly. Among the twelve ships sunk by the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, except for the armed merchant ships, the rest had magic compasses. Every magic compass had been processed. Obviously, the East Sea Alliance Camp did not want the secret of this route to be known, so they did it very carefully.
Salin only analyzed one thing, and that was, every time the fleet moved about five hundred miles, they would deliberately erase the traces on this section of the sea route, so that the magic compass could not recover the information. In this way, even if the warship was captured by the enemy, there would not be too much danger.
It was impossible to reach the East Sea without the star chart and sea chart. Especially the star chart, which could judge the season according to the star chart, and accurately find the safest time of the route. Between the East Sea and the Myers Continent, there was a sea border of tens of thousands of miles, called the Sea of Storms. There were hurricanes all year round. Not to mention the dragon skeleton warship, even giant dragons would not want to move there.
These hurricanes also had a pattern, especially related to the season. It was unknown how many years and how many lives the people of the East Sea had sacrificed to explore a route.
If it was just a hurricane, Salin could still rely on the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship to pass through the sea. Under hundreds of meters of sea water, the impact of the hurricane had disappeared. However, the deep-sea magical beasts were not weaker than those in the Frozen Sea, and level-nine magical beasts could be seen everywhere. Salin clearly remembered that he had escaped with the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. In the depths of the sea, the power of human beings was so small.
"Sir Salin, only I know this secret …" Aesop hesitated and did not try to use this to negotiate with Salin. He continued, "On our East Sea warships, the alchemy telescopes are particularly huge. The principle of use is somewhat different from Qin Yin's. In fact, this kind of large alchemy equipment also has a memory ability. "
"Oh?" Salin was interested. He found the alchemy telescope on the shipwreck. Although it was brought back by Nelis, Salin threw it into the warehouse. Compared with Qin Yin's alchemy telescope, the East Sea's alchemy telescope was too cumbersome, and the effect seemed to be only one-third of Qin Yin's equipment.
"My grandfather used to be a pirate …" When Aesop talked about his family, his face showed a proud expression, as if being a pirate was a very glorious thing, even more noble than his identity as a magician.
