The blue-black seawater was surging toward Lucien, and the fish-headed, human-bodied monsters were roaring like thousands of galloping horses.
What was happening on the other side of the corridor was like a slow-motion movie. Lucien saw everything in front of him. The air around him became moist and filled with abundant water elements. Lucien felt that it was difficult to breathe.
Some of the apprentices were so scared that they leaned against their cabins. Some of them were crying, but their voices were covered by the thunder and the storm. Some of them tried to stay calm, but they were already trembling and their faces were pale. They had never been in such a dangerous situation before. Just like the first time Lucien met a red-eyed rat in the sewer, they could not stay calm at all.
Countless ideas flashed in Lucien's mind. However, it was impossible for him to keep himself alive and hide from the pastors and Knights on the ship.
The silver-gray scaled Kuo-toans rushed to the fork in the corridor. Without any hesitation, they divided into two groups. Most of them followed three tall, strong, red-scaled strange murlocs to the main cabin where the cargo was stored, while a small group of them followed another strange murlocs and rushed toward Lucien.
Lucien thought to himself, "Their goal seems to be to rob the cargo.
Are there any valuable items that the Kuo-toans are interested in? Is that why they took the risk to attack the fleet?
If that's the case, even if there are murlocs on the other floors, they will gather here, or go to the captain's cabin or Viscount Wright's cabin … "
Lucien's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. Then he had an idea, "Then there's still a chance for us to escape!"
Lucien turned around and ran back to his cabin. He kicked hard on the ground and jumped up. Then he punched the iron plank on the upper floor of the cabin with his right fist.
Many wooden planks flew into the air and fell into the cabin above, revealing a big dark hole.
"You guys climb up and hide in the sailors' cabins nearby with the switch spell!" Lucien said to his apprentices as soon as he landed. His tone was a bit strict, but he was not in a hurry. It was as if he was not facing a dangerous situation, but a lazy apprentice.
Since Tom had arranged for them to stay here, there must be some trustworthy sailors or coolies living in the cabins on the upper floor. Otherwise, the people on the upper floor would have heard everything!
If the Kuo-toans were not here to kill but to rob, it would be a good choice for Lucien and his apprentices to hide in the cabins of the poor sailors. Also, they could avoid the pastors and Knights!
Lucien pulled out his sword Alert and ran out of the cabin.... of course. of the Kuo-toans. and Lucien. Lucien... of Lucien and his apprentices...... and Lucien and Lucien. and Lucien...... ... and.. of Lucien. of Lucien..
. and Lucien and Lucien and his apprentices.. and Lucien. of Lucien. of Lucien Lucien. of.
. "Yes, Mr. Evans." Although Oimos's face was pale, he was still able to maintain his basic calmness. Annick, on the other hand, had been used to listening to Lucien's orders recently, so he shivered subconsciously. Affected by Lucien's calmness, he stopped shivering and started to think.
The two apprentices looked at each other and said at the same time, "Use hammocks and Hand of Magic, or use spells to improve agility and balance …" These were the two easiest and easiest ways to climb.
Seeing that Olmos and Annick were busy collecting hammocks, Katrina, Sprint, Layria, Heidi, and the other apprentices also woke up. They either helped Lucien Lucien and Olmos, or comforted the other apprentices around them.
At this most dangerous moment, under the awe of Lucien, a real sorcerer, they did not have any internal strife. Instead, they became very orderly.
Holding the Sword of Vigilance with both hands, he ran halfway. When he was about to collide with the Kuo-toans, circles of unusually peaceful light green ripples suddenly spread out from Lucien's body.
The ripples surged forward like tides. The Kuo-toans that were swept by the ripples all fell to the ground and fell asleep. Even the leader of the strange murlocs whose scales were emitting bloody light couldn't help but feel confused when he was touched by the green ripples, as if he was very tired and wanted to fall asleep. The guy who rushed over with a sword was not a Knight, but a Magician?!
First circle spell, Sleep.
Most of the Kuo-toans who hadn't reached the level of a Knight couldn't resist at all.
The whole corridor was quiet again. There were no more shouts or aggressive murlocs. Only the leader of the murlocs, Lucien, and the rest of the murlocs were left.
Subconsciously, the murloc leader cast its own spell, Blue Halo. Waves rolled around Lucien's body. Lucien's eyes became clear again. The water elements around him were so dense that they almost condensed into water droplets. Lucien felt that he was in the depths of the ocean and could not breathe at all. As long as he breathed, a large amount of water would be poured into his lungs.
Holding his breath, Lucien did not panic. Holding his breath, his left hand lit up, and three ice daggers appeared out of nowhere and were thrown out.
At this critical moment, Lucien would never be stingy with the use of magic items, even though the murlocs only had the power of a common Knight.
If it weren't for the fact that using Fireball would leave traces, Lucien would definitely use the bracelet of Fire Weaver.
"I have to kill it as soon as possible, or I'll be hit by the Knight and the Priest!"
As soon as the ice blades flew out, Lucien dodged to the side and dodged the trident thrown by the leader of the murlocs. At the same time, Lucien activated the spell model in his soul.
The dense water elements around him were immediately blocked by an invisible filter. Only a small amount of moist air could pass through the filter.
First circle spell, Elemental Damage Tolerance.
Although this spell was not very effective against direct elemental attacks, it was a good choice to deal with the environment where the elements were out of balance. For example, in a place with a high temperature of sixty or seventy degrees, or in a place like the Blue Halo where water was extremely abundant, the spellcaster would not be weakened by the environment.
Palmeira's Ice Blades seemed to be the bane of the Kuo-toans. The blue waves around the leader of the murlocs froze one after another, and the leader of the murlocs was frozen inside. Unable to dodge, the murlocs were hit in the head, chest, and arms by the ice blades.
Blue blood splashed out. The murlocs who had the power of an official Knight were seriously injured by the second circle spell, but their wounds were still wriggling. If they were not frozen, the wounds would have already started to heal.
The recovery ability of the Kuo-toans was not inferior to that of the trolls, but they could not regrow their limbs.
At this time, a sharp light flashed, and the head of the Murloc leader was cut off. Lucien appeared next to the Murloc leader with the sword Alert in his hand, and this time, he cut the wound caused by the Flying Ice Dagger.
Since it was affected by Sleep, the murlocs had lost the initiative. If a Knight lost the initiative when facing a sorcerer of the same rank, the murlocs would die very quickly. Also, Lucien was equipped with better equipment than most sorcerers.
Of course, Lucien's equipment was only good in terms of level, not quantity and variety. For example, Lucien's shoes were common, and they were always damaged when he ran at a high speed. Also, Lucien did not have any magic robe, magic staff, or any other typical items of a sorcerer.
Lucien jumped a few steps forward and stood behind the murlocs. When he was about to cast the spell, he sensed a turbulent wave coming from the main cabin.
"There's no one in the main cabin. It can't be a magic battle. Is it something the murlocs want to rob?"
"It seems to be the Wave Stone!"
The Wave Stone was a common but precious magic material. Lucien had read about it in the book Illustrated Handbook of Common Things Connected with Magic. It could be used to forge magic items and weapons above level three, and it could add water breathing, water element damage, storm, ice storm, and so on. The best Wave Stone could even be used as a material for high-level items. Also, the Wave Stone was the main ingredient of the potion called Arnard's Wine, which could help to strengthen and recover spiritual power. It could also provide energy for many magic circles like the Sun Stone, the Moon Stone, and the Cryolite, and it seemed that the Wave Stone could also help the growth of water magic creatures.
"Such a horrifying wave … Either the Wave Stone is of great quality, or there's a lot of them hidden in the cargo, which is worth at least tens of thousands of Quintal," Lucien thought to himself. Normally, the Wave Stone was worth ten Quintal each, but almost no sorcerers were willing to sell it. Lucien had no idea how Granneuve got such a big batch of them.
"The Wave Stone is a magic material, and it must be sent to Allyn. Did Granneuve smuggle it? Or did the Church allow it? "
"Wait … Tom and his trusted sailors were probably the first ones to come here!"
"If it wasn't for them, and if it wasn't for the Church's tacit approval, with so many Wave Stones discovered, the fleet would have been wiped out, and we would have been in danger of being discovered."
Thinking of this, Lucien did not stop casting. Focusing his spiritual power, Lucien uttered some incomprehensible and sharp incantations. Then, he pushed his hands forward, and the invisible wave pushed the dead bodies of the murlocs and their leader to the wooden planks of the ship. After a loud noise, the planks were broken, and the dead bodies and murlocs flew into the storm and fell into the sea.
First circle spell, Force Wave.
Lucien had not constructed the model of the spell in his soul yet, so he could only cast it with the help of the incantations. Luckily, it did not require any casting materials.
At this time, the apprentices had all climbed to the upper deck and started to hide in other sailors' cabins.
Lucien did not want to waste any more time, so he quickly cleaned up the traces in the cabins and was about to climb back to the upper deck.
Suddenly, Lucien sensed something, and the Fire Weaver bracelet flashed in red light, and many flames appeared around him.
A head-sized water ball flew over and hit the flames, and the water ball and the fire ball disappeared at the same time.
At the fork of the corridor, a murloc with red scales was staring at Lucien coldly. It seemed that it had heard the noise of the cabins and noticed that the murlocs had stopped moving, so it came to help Lucien.
This fishman didn't hold a trident like the other fishmen. Instead, it held a multicolored coral staff.
The thunder stopped for a while, and Lucien seemed to hear many heavy footsteps coming from above. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
