Captain Blackbeard's original world was the environment of the Age of Discovery.
The ocean occupied most of it.
Islands were scattered.
Before entering Captain Blackbeard's original world, Tang Shidao noticed a strange thing: most of the mages looked like gamblers. They had the feeling that they had placed a heavy bet, and if they did not win, they would lose everything. This situation made Captain Blackbeard very proud. He felt that this business was too profitable, a hundred times better than any kind of training.
He didn't have to do anything, just use a "treasure" to attract people, and then wait to reap the benefits.
He saw another hundred mages enter the net.
Captain Blackbeard also secretly laughed, thinking that these mages were too gullible. Although he had not been in the Mage Net for long, he had completely figured out the temper of these mages. He just threw out something and these people would be dizzy, like a group of silly fish, at his mercy.
Making money was too easy.
Soon he could scam another wave, and then enjoy the life of a superior.
It was simply too good.
When everyone entered the mission, Captain Blackbeard did not take the risk with them. He cherished his little life very much.
On the contract.
The person who issued the mission could borrow the protection of the Mage Net to stay in an absolutely safe space, a blind spot between the Mage Net and the original world. As long as the contract was signed, no one could hurt the person who issued the mission. Even if you maliciously wanted to become an anti-mage, you could not find where he was.
Similarly, the person who issued the mission could not take any action, and could not spy on anything.
In other words.
Neither side knew what the other was doing, and both sides absolutely guaranteed their own safety.
The mission began.
The triumphant Captain Blackbeard disappeared, and Tang Shidao immediately noticed the second strange thing: the gamblers' expressions of the mages were gone! Instead, they all had the expression of "actors taking a break."
Obviously … they were pretending to be like this!
Without waiting for Tang Shidao to pay attention to his surroundings, a third of the mages directly sat down to meditate. There was no need to guess, they did not intend to do this mission at all, they were here to train.
Tang Shidao could sense it.
These people were using some kind of magic resonance, trying to harmonize the energy waves here … They wanted to communicate with the legacy of the legendary mage, and learn his training experience. It was like a mage talking to a forest. Now, these people were talking to the "ocean" and looking for traces of the legendary mage. In a sense, this was "grave robbing," but the difference was that they wanted to steal the Legendary mage's cultivation experience.
At the same time.
Another third of the mages formed the largest team. They all took out their own maps to discuss their next move. It was obvious that these people had already planned to search for a certain artifact or a certain ruin. They are not newbies, they are veterans.
"Excuse me, are you Master Tang Shidao?" Before the team finished their discussion, the leading Magician stepped forward and asked.
"Yes."
"We have a request. We hope that Master Tang will not complete this mission. Under normal circumstances, we can't find anything too good. We can only find a small amount of relevant knowledge. If the Tang Continent can get a huge profit, we will not stop you from completing the task. If you don't have any great gains, I hope Master Tang will be merciful. "The demon mage cupped his hands and said.
"I understand. I'll try my best." Tang Shidao immediately understood.
"Thank you, Master Tang. We will use the Giant Dragon Flag. If Master Tang needs, you can use the name of our 'Giant Dragon Fleet' to scare people. Be careful of all the Black Flag Fleet. Most of them were secretly asked by Captain Blackbeard to deal with outsiders. "The Magician cupped his hands and thanked him, thinking that it was convenient to deal with smart people.
"Thank you." Tang Shidao was not polite.
Hearing this information, his heart also cleared up.
Thinking back to the whole mission.
Captain Blackbeard did earn a lot of derivative spells from the mages, but he forgot to pay the tax … the IQ tax!
There was a saying on the Magician's Web: If you think you are super smart and everyone else is a fool, then the real fool is often yourself!
Captain Blackbeard used treasure to lure the mages to bet on derivative spells. On the surface, he was the banker.
In fact.
It was like a eunuch receiving a silver cake and then letting a group of rangers enter the palace's treasury to 'visit'. The eunuch felt that he had earned a lot. The rangers were all fools. The rangers also felt that the eunuch was the fool.
Captain Blackbeard's predecessor was a Legendary Mage, a powerful person with a Legendary certificate.
Who wouldn't want to see the legacy of such a person.
Of course.
Captain Blackbeard knew that this legacy was left for him and others couldn't take it away. But he didn't know one thing: Compared to the Master Alchemist's finished product, another thing was more important … The Master Alchemist's experiment notes!
Everyone didn't need the relics of the Legendary Mage, they wanted his cultivation experience, diary, research notes and so on.
So, everyone wasn't interested in the mission.
"The higher the limit of a mission, the greater the reward, this is certain. The Legendary Mage is only allowed to use one beginner spell, this proves that his collection is close to the level of one of a kind. Master Tang, long time no see, do you want to work together? "A familiar voice sounded, and a graceful beauty appeared.
"Lake Immortal Mage?" Tang Shidao saw the person and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Just call me Lake Immortal. How about we partner? "Lake Immortal asked.
"Partner? Sure. You came here before, Miss Lake Immortal? "
"I came here once, but I didn't succeed in finding the anchor, so I was a little unconvinced. I heard that you came, so I wanted to see if you could do it. "Lake Immortal didn't hide anything, indicating that she came for him.
"I hope I won't disappoint you, Miss Lake Immortal." Tang Shidao also knew that it was better to have companions.
Can't use innate spells.
Can't use physical strength.
Can't use magic weapons.
Can't cast spells with more than 10 points of magic power at once.
Can't use more spells, can only use one type and its derivative spells … With these five restrictions, even a giant dragon would become a small lizard.
Once the contract was established.
Tang Shidao felt that he was just a slightly stronger freshman with a beginner spell, and nothing more. Calculating his own combat power, he probably couldn't compare to a member of the mixed martial arts team. Without the protection of a beginner spell, two pirates could jump out and kill him.
"Wait a minute, can you count me in?" While they were talking, a super strong Orc walked over.
"You are?" Tang Shidao saw the person and felt that this guy wasn't very smart.
"Man Hou, my name is Man Hou, I come from a planet of Orcs. Oh right, the spell I use is a healing spell, it can help you heal. I have the strength, I can help you fight. "Man Hou said sincerely.
Tang Shidao: "…"
Lake Immortal: "…"
"How about it? I'm very strong, it's not a problem for me to fight a dozen pirates. My healing spell also gave rise to Cure Poison and Clear Mind, it's very useful. "
Tang Shidao and Lake Immortal: "…"
Seeing such an 'honest' good kid, Tang Shidao couldn't bear it. He thought that he was wrong, this guy wasn't very smart, he was very stupid.
He could only use a beginner spell here.
If you say it, isn't it the same as telling everyone what your trump card is? If you're a competitor, we'll laugh ourselves to death.
"Okay." Tang Shidao agreed.
"Thank you. I've heard of you, Master Tang, I heard that you're friendly to friends, let's be friends. "
Lake Immortal: "…"
Man Hou didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his straightforwardness. After becoming companions, he was very happy and kept talking about his own matters. When they heard that he was worried about the tribe's food, Tang Shidao and Lake Immortal were also worried about his IQ. As a mage, you're actually lacking food? In the entire Mage Network, you're probably the first mage that's lacking food.
"Buy a plant growth spell, it only costs 1 point." Lake Immortal couldn't help but remind him.
"I have it, but my planet isn't suitable for growing food, even the fruit trees only grow leaves and not fruits, it's a headache. The shaman elder also doesn't let me use spells, he said that if I use too many spells, I'll open up some cracks, it's very dangerous. He also forbade me from using spells in the contract, even talents and auras. "Man Hou revealed his family's wealth in just a few sentences.
"Why are you here for this mission?" Tang Shidao felt strange.
"There's fish here."
"…"
They couldn't chat anymore, it was a dead end.
Lake Immortal had a normal expression, in the Mage Network, it wasn't just Captain Black Beard who didn't pay the IQ tax, there were others who didn't as well. She only felt that Man Hou was very lucky, a mage with such a low IQ could actually live until now, if it was someone else, they would have died thousands of times.
The mission started, all the mages were busy with their own tasks.
A third of them were meditating, a third of them were searching for treasures, and the remaining third were competitors, of course, they could also be friends.
In short.
"What should we do, boss?" Man Hou had already called him 'boss', the intimacy level was increasing faster than a cheat.
"What did you do in the past?" Tang Shidao was very curious, too curious.
"I had strength. I could move wine barrels, clean horse dung, dig potatoes, fill up the soil and move stones to build a house. After saving enough money, I would buy a small boat, catch fish and sell it, when I had money, I would buy a bigger boat. Last time, it was a pity that I was killed by the cannon, otherwise I could buy two boats. "Man Hou had a look of pity.
"…"
This conversation was very difficult, was this really a conversation between mages?
Why did it feel like a conversation between miners?
"Boss, Number Two, your hands and feet are too small, it's obvious that you don't have strength. Why don't you wait for me to work for three months and earn enough money to buy a boat? "Man Hou displayed his intelligence and made a perfect plan. En, he felt that it was quite perfect.
"…" Hu Xian was drunk, when did he become 'Number Two'?
Tang Shidao couldn't take it anymore.
He thought that if he continued to listen, his intelligence would be pulled down by at least 50%.
"Okay, stop talking, let's go buy a boat."
"Boss, we don't have money on us? Other than clothes, I even have bread hidden on me. Boss, you can still hide money? "
"Take a wooden pole by the roadside and just follow me." Tang Shidao felt very tired, how could he lead such a 'pig' teammate?
Man Hou didn't understand.
Seeing the small wooden pole, he glanced at it with disdain. With a sudden tug and pull, he broke off a small tree and turned it into a big wooden club.
Tang Shidao saw it and understood: It was normal, the nutrients that he used to nourish his brain had all gone to his muscles.
They walked down the mountain.
The big island in front of them was a huge port.
"Wait, Man Hou, do you see the two passersby with a hammer and an axe?"
"I see them."
"Go and tell them: I will use the wooden pole to exchange for the hammer and axe, and also, ask for their wallets."
"Why, Boss?"
"It's a very complicated reason. Actually, I was the one who dropped their wallets, they picked them up and refused to return them to me. "Tang Shidao couldn't explain it anymore. This was the kind of despair you felt when you took out your Math Olympiad textbook and found that your assistant was a brat who didn't even know how to wipe his nose.
Hearing that they picked up his boss' wallets and refused to return them, Man Hou was angry.
He ran over.
Carrying the two people, he shook them a few times and successfully got his boss' wallets back, and he also exchanged the wooden pole for the hammer and axe.
"They are so kind, really willing to exchange with me." Man Hou smiled very happily.
Iron weapons were better than wooden weapons.
He had never met such kind people before.
