Seeing that Tang Shidao only took one day to go out to sea with an old ship and a group of old and weak people, the other mages' eyes flashed with contempt.
Too young!
This was not a speed competition, it was not a matter of who set sail first to win.
There was no winner in this mission, everyone was taking advantage of this opportunity to plunder benefits. Therefore, the final 100 meters was meaningless, only the first 99 meters were important. It was undoubtedly a waste for the sixth sage to set sail so impulsively.
"Haha, those people in the dragon fleet actually asked him to be merciful. In my opinion, it's not certain when he'll need us to save his life. "
"It's possible. Only one type of spell, no more than 10 points at a time, if he's not prepared enough, he won't be able to protect himself. "
"Hmph, a sage in name only."
"The legendary mages here have legendary names, but they still died without knowing why. Forget it, with one less competitor, we can get more benefits. "
The mages discussed animatedly, the thirty-man dragon fleet was also very strange.
They could not guess Tang Shidao's actions.
It was too reckless.
This was not something a smart person would do.
"What do you think, captain?"
"I can't figure it out either, he probably has his own reasons. Forget it, don't worry about him. Since he promised to be merciful, he definitely won't go back on his word. Unless there's a huge gain, he won't complete this mission. If he's a sage in name but not in reality, it doesn't matter, our goal is not to complete the mission anyway. "The temporary leader of the dragon fleet did not care.
The more incompetent the participant, the more they could gain.
When this' mine 'was finished, the black-bearded captain would no longer have any value, and everyone would not care about him.
At this moment.
"Stop the ship and wait."
Tang Shidao ordered the ship to stop, opened the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, and immediately four crows flew out. Before anyone could react, the four crows flew in four different directions, scouting for islands where they could resupply and stay in the air. The crew did not know what it was, only that these outsiders had extraordinary abilities.
In the blink of an eye, another four crows flew out.
They rose into the air and flew far away to scout.
This magical ocean had a mission restriction, one could not use more than 10 points of spells at a time. Summoning crows cost 2 points. Tang Shidao could only summon four at a time. After releasing a few waves of crows, Tang Shidao closed his eyes and meditated again, waiting for the crows' feedback.
"When did you find out?" Hu Xian asked softly.
"What?" Tang Shidao was waiting for the news.
"When did you discover that it's best not to use magic on the first island?" The Lake Immortal asked again.
"Is there such a thing? I don't know. I just saw that no one was using it and thought that it might have some meaning, so I didn't want to do it either. "
"What a terrifying intuition."
"What's the use of this?" Tang Shidao asked.
"Yes, on the first island, we don't use magic, so it's easier to open certain treasures. If you use it, some treasure doors won't open. Of course, this was not an absolute advantage, because some treasures had to be released on the first island, and those who did not release the spell would not be able to open it. Don't underestimate that legendary mage. Even if he's dead, he still has many tricks up his sleeve. "The Lake Immortal warned.
Tang Shidao just smiled and said nothing.
Less than 10 minutes later.
"Head in that direction." Tang Shidao pointed to the South-East direction and ordered: "Bring out all the logging tools, the boatmen prepare to instruct the shipbuilding work."
The helmsman obeyed the order, but the sailors were still confused.
So what if there's an island in that direction … we don't have enough manpower.
What can we do with so few people?
Not to mention, is building a ship that easy? Who knows how long and how many skilled workers will be needed. Man Hou was different from the others, he didn't use his brain and only picked up his axe, ready to chop down trees at any moment. He didn't need to doubt Boss' orders, whether it was right or wrong, it didn't matter, he just needed to finish the job first.
Tang Shidao and the Lake Immortal both entered a state of meditation.
Just like the 1/3 of the mages who stayed behind, they tried their best to sense the mana waves here, trying to resonate with the traces of the legendary mage.
4 hours later.
The group slowly arrived at a large island full of forests. Seeing the forest, the sailors were also surprised, as the crows' scouting ability was quite impressive. Just as they were about to ask, Tang Shidao waved his hand and summoned 4 Crowmen. They were around 2 meters tall, had humanoid bodies, a long beak, thick claws, strong claws, and wings on their backs that allowed them to fly.
Seeing these monsters appear, the sailors instinctively took a step back.
"They are Crowmen, if you don't understand, just think of them as demons that I summoned from a book. They can understand your simple movements, and can copy anything you do. For example, if you chop down trees, they can copy your movements. If you saw wood, they can copy your movements. They can't do work that's too delicate, they can learn anything that a normal apprentice carpenter can do "
"Only 4 is a bit too few, captain, how long can they work?" the foreman asked.
"Their strength is about the same as the strongest human, their stamina can't be used up and can automatically regenerate. They don't need to rest, eat or drink, they can always work. As for numbers … I can summon a few hundred thousand if I need to, but there's no need for that right now "Tang Shidao casually answered. The sailors were stunned.
What kind of book is that, to be able to hold a few hundred thousand demons?
Some of the sailors picked up their crossbows and swords.
Tang Shidao waved his hand again, and 4 even larger shadows landed on the ground: "You don't need to bring weapons, I have demons that can guarantee your safety"
Demon Crows.
They were around 4 meters tall, upright, humanoid, with thick and slender arms, looking like a gorilla with a bird's head. Demon Crows had wings, but they couldn't fly, they could only glide. They had giant hands with sharp claws. The feathers all over their body were also demonized, forming a protective layer like armor.
Seeing Demon Crows, the sailors were so scared that they took a few steps back.
They thought.
This guy has a giant bird's head, it won't eat people right? I feel like it can kill a person with one peck.
"You don't need to think too much, get to work"
Tang Shidao continued to summon Crowmen, but he didn't need to summon too many. In this ocean, 'ships' were used as a unit of measurement, so no matter how many Crowmen there were, they still needed a ship to carry them. On the other hand, Tang Shidao faintly felt that … the more spells he used, the easier it was to attract attention, and there must be some disadvantages.
The sailors were still a bit confused.
However, as the giant trees fell one by one, they finally realized: the captain didn't need their ability to work, only their knowledge.
He looked at the second mate called Lake Fairy.
No wonder, she didn't recruit strong sailors, only experienced and knowledgeable old sailors. It turned out that the captain with the strange book didn't need soldiers at all, what he had was fighting power, and what he had were staff.
At this time, the old carpenters were already smiling crookedly.
Lumberjacks with wings that could fly, smart apprentices that didn't get tired and didn't need food … this was too good. Other than the initial demonstration, they only needed to stand on the side and give pointers, the Crowmen knew how to work by themselves. Whatever materials needed to be prepared, the Crowmen would be able to complete everything after a start.
Occasionally.
Beasts roared in the forest.
Without waiting for everyone to panic, Demon Crows had already walked out with half-dead beasts. There were crows everywhere in the sky, the beasts couldn't get close at all.
In just half a day.
"Captain, we didn't bring enough materials, we can only build 4 ships at most" the carpenters regretted, if he had known, he would've filled the ship with nails and ropes.
"Send someone out, head west for half a day, there's a harbor, go there and buy materials" Tang Shidao said while meditating.
Without waiting for the carpenters to reply.
Suddenly.
"On the northern cliff of this island, there are 4 sunken ships about 2000 meters away, there's some gold and jewels on them" Lake Fairy was also meditating, only lightly said.
"We'll send someone right away …"
"No need, what can weak old people like you do. I've already ordered my subordinates to bring the ships to shore, you can send a few people who know how to appraise and bring the Crowmen to bring them back "Lake Fairy interrupted, indicating that she was already done.
Everyone was speechless.
You just said there's a sunken ship, and you're already ashore … do you need to be so fast?
We're all experienced sailors, can't you leave us some face?
No matter what they think.
The crew quickly followed the order, dragged the sunken ships back, found the treasures, then moved the old ships to another harbor, exchanging them for necessary shipbuilding materials. The most infuriating thing was, the accountant asked the captain: What kind of goods do we sell to earn money? The captain replied: We don't need to earn money, it's only enough for a few hundred people, the Crowmen don't need wages or food.
The accountant was speechless, a few hundred old and weak people like me, a single treasure chest is enough to pay for a few dozen years of work … the captain really doesn't need to fucking earn money!
Think about it, are we really trading at sea?
This is practically a joke.
"Boss, second bro, isn't healing the most suitable for this mission?" no matter how stupid Man Hou was, seeing so many Crowmen at work, he understood that he made a mistake.
"Summoning is the most suitable for this mission" Tang Shidao casually answered and continued to meditate.
"Summoning the Crowmen is the best?" Man Hou asked again.
"This isn't summoning the Crowmen, it's a derivative spell" Lake Fairy followed up and said: "And summoning a flying demon isn't the most suitable, summoning a water creature is better. Forget it, your brain won't understand anyway. I'll just say it, the most suitable spell for this mission is called Summon Fishman. 5 points, it's the same as summoning a wolf "
"Oh, second bro, you're good at summoning fishmen?" Man Hou's face was full of admiration.
"I'm good at … summoning sea monsters" Lake Fairy thought about it and didn't hide it. The key is that this child's gaze is too pure, it's a bit embarrassing to lie to him. Plus, it's not a secret what I'm good at, every famous mage has their own specialty.
"Hm? Isn't Summon Sea Monster a 500 point spell, it's like summoning a dragon? "Man Hou was confused.
"I didn't say I'll use it, I'm just good at … forget it, I'll use Summon Water Monster, it's an 8 point spell, okay?"
"That's not right, the Water Monster is very weak, it can be fished up …"
"I'm asleep, don't disturb me" Lake Fairy was completely convinced, some people can't be chatted with.
"Oh, take your time" Man Hou expressed that he wouldn't disturb you while you're asleep. He doesn't like people shouting when he's asleep, otherwise he'll chop him to death.
No one said anything.
Man Hou also didn't know what to do.
Tang Shidao kindly told him to 'cultivate meditation', and Man Hou also began … in less than 10 seconds, he started snoring loudly, this speed is unparalleled.
The crew didn't care what the three leaders were doing.
They're already old, this is their last chance to shine. And this is also their best chance, they can't waste it even if they're beaten to death, they have to give it 200%. With the help of the Crowmen and the Water Monsters searching for treasures in the nearby seabed, they don't lack manpower and money. The next fleet came back, not only did they bring back a ship of materials, they also brought back several small boats and a group of similarly old crew members.
Needless to say.
They were convinced to come, or they were thrown over by money.
The second time they set sail.
The third time they came back, there were three more large boats and dozens of smaller boats.
Then.
Like a snowball rolling.
An endless stream of Crowmen entered work mode, an endless stream of Water Monsters searched for treasures in the seabed, an endless stream of 'old sailors' joined … unknowingly, this island's forest was cut in half, and dozens of large boats started working at the same time. Not long after, the nearby sailors heard the news, they also requested to join this large fleet.
Not long after.
"Strange, we've been chopping trees for the past few days, how come …" when Man Hou regained his senses, there was already a large fleet of several hundred ships on the shore.
Masts stood tall, white sails fluttering in the wind.
The original crew members couldn't believe it, in just a few months, a giant fleet was born just like that.
What kind of speed is this?
"There's more than one ocean planet like this, my crows have flown everywhere" after meditating for a few months, Tang Shidao opened his eyes and spoke for the first time.
"That's right, the teleportation points of those glowing vortexes are different" Hu Xian also noticed.
After meditating for a few months.
If they don't get anything out of it, the two of them should just hang themselves.
Tang Shidao waved his hand.
Four Crowmen holding curved blades in both hands and wearing black armor appeared … Blade Armor War Crow, the 8th derivative spell to summon crows. Tang Shidao knows that the Divine Winged Crowmen can't use it, because it requires 1 million spells to cast, which doesn't match the limit of 10. That's why he needs a more suitable derivative spell.
From the very beginning.
Tang Shidao isn't looking for treasures or artifacts, what he's really looking for is: The Legend Sorcerer's secret!
