The broken pieces of wood were scattered everywhere, and the traces of burning and electric charring were everywhere. It was obvious that there was a fierce magic battle, and Lucien did not kill the murloc sorcerer by surprise.
"Does Evans have any powerful magic items, or some extremely unique magic?" Tom thought of all kinds of explanations in his surprise. "He can't be a second-circle sorcerer under the age of twenty, can he? Although the geniuses in the Congress who have been taught arcana since they were little can do that, and some of them even reached the middle-rank at the age of twenty, it is absolutely impossible for a sorcerer who has received the ancient inheritance to be so talented in spiritual power! And Evans doesn't have any talent in spiritual power at all! "
Tom, who was experienced, did not waste any time to express his surprise. He said straightforwardly, "Twenty seconds. Take care of it. Go to the upper floor. I'll take care of the rest."
In less than two seconds, Tom said several words one after another. Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and ran to the main cabin where the goods were stored. There was the sound of wood breaking. It seemed that the Kuo-toans did not intend to go back the way they came, and they directly broke the wood to escape.
Lucien's words were not enough to form a sentence, but it was still easy for him to understand what Tom meant. Lucien killed the murloc sorcerer, and the things on its body should be his without any doubt. Therefore, Tom asked Lucien to take care of the body himself. Lucien had to do it within twenty seconds and hide in the upper floor's cabin, or he would be discovered by the Knight and the Knight's squires. As for the other traces, Lucien would leave them to Tom.
The red light on the murloc sorcerer's scales had solidified, and the silver-gray fish scales were dyed red. Lucien knew that the fish scales were great materials for making armors or magic robes, which could improve the defense and the ability to move freely underwater. However, he did not have enough time to remove the fish scales. The same was true for the stinky murloc lymph.
Holding the coral staff in his hand, Lucien took out the small grayish-white 'money bag' hidden behind a large scale on the murloc mage's waist. Then, he turned around and chanted the spell of 'Force Field Wave'. An invisible wave of air pushed the murloc mage's body out into the storm outside.
Immediately after, Lucien ran back to the cabin he had lived in before. He stopped under the broken ceiling and calmly looked around the room.
Seeing that they had turned into ruins because of the 'magic war' between him and the murloc sorcerer, Lucien pushed himself up with one hand and kicked his feet to the sailor's room above.
Quickly but calmly, Lucien found the iron planks that he had deliberately made in the sailor's room. As he pieced them together piece by piece, he began to cast a spell using his mental power.
A little shimmer flickered, and the gap between the iron boards slowly disappeared.
The apprentice-level spell, Repair!
Although Lucien could not create something out of nothing, after becoming a real sorcerer, he could already repair the bigger cracks.
The time limit of twenty seconds that Tom mentioned was getting closer and closer, but the iron board was recovering very slowly under the effect of the Repair spell.
At this time, loud noises burst out from the cabin below. It seemed that the battle between Tom and the Kuo-toans had reached its climax. Also, the strong magic waves coming out of the cabin covered the noise caused by Repair.
The magic waves flashed by, and the loud noises of weapons colliding also disappeared. Heavy and hurried footsteps could be heard. Dozens of people rushed down and killed their way into the main cabin where the goods were stored. They had no interest in the broken cabin where there were no enemies at first glance.
Finally, Repair was over, and the iron boards returned to their original state. Lucien stood up and was about to hide in another cabin.
If Tom's mind was not clouded by greed and stinginess, he would definitely not stop the Kuo-toans who had the Wave Stone. Instead, he would let them run away, and he would focus on killing the rest of the murloc and dealing with the rest.
However, Granneuve would suffer a great loss. It's worth at least twenty or thirty manors. I wonder how many Wave Stones the Kuo-toans took away …
Lucien opened the wooden door, and then he saw that the door of a cabin on the other side was half closed. Through the gap, several pairs of eyes were shining with hope.
"Mr. Evans, come in!" Annick, Layria and Heidi shouted at the same time, with great joy and relief.
Lucien quickly got in and locked the door. He nodded to the three apprentices, "Well done, Annick. I'm very satisfied that you can calm down so fast."
Hearing Mr. Evans's praise, Annick scratched his head embarrassedly. "I've gotten used to it."
"Mr. Evans, we've brought your suitcase here." Heidi pointed at the black suitcase beside her, as if she was asking for praise. Layria was standing behind her quietly, and it seemed that she was also looking forward to Lucien's answer.
Lucien smiled, "You all did a good job. You didn't hold each other back. But the danger is not over yet. Keep it up. By the way, don't disturb me for now. "
Lucien sat down on the shabby bed and listened carefully to the battle below. At the same time, he used Identify to decipher the Coral Staff of the Murloc Sorcerer.
Lucien did not know whether Viscount Wright and the bishop could defeat the sea monsters outside. He did not know whether the ship would sink or not, and he did not know whether Tom could cover his tracks. Therefore, he had to seize every opportunity to increase his power. Maybe he could survive with the help of the Coral Staff.
Annick and the other apprentices nodded seriously and started to move. Heidi hid behind the door and listened to the noise outside. Annick was lying on the ground with his ear touching the wooden board, paying attention to the battle below. Layria was kneeling on the carpet beside Lucien. She was keeping an eye on the apprentices in the other cabins while paying attention to the fierce battle outside.
Time went by. The thunder and lightning gradually died down. Suddenly, the battle in the storm came to an abrupt end. Only the sound of the wind and the roaring of the waves could be heard. The battle in the cabins below was also coming to an end. The Murloc who did not have enough time to escape were killed one after another.
"Did Viscount Wright and the bishop win or lose?" Lucien opened his eyes and asked.
Because Lucien had already deciphered several second circle spells, it did not take him long to identify and decipher the coral staff and put it under his control.
"Amboula's Staff, a level-two senior-rank magic item. The wielder of this magic staff would have the ability to breathe underwater and could cast the second circle spell 'Electric Ball' three times a day and 'Acid Water Ball' three times a day. Also, it can help the sorcerer to lock onto the enemy when casting spells, especially when casting spells that affect the mind, spirit, and soul.
"It's made from the coral near the altar of Amboula, the Lord of the Sea. It's a common staff used by the Kuo-toans.
"The holder of the Lord of the Sea's blessing can control everything underwater."
Holding the magic wand in his hand, Lucien found that his spiritual power field was indeed a bit more condensed. He smiled to himself, "After being a sorcerer for such a long time, I finally have a standard magic wand …"
"But with this staff, even if the ship sinks, I still have a chance to survive."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, a loud voice came from the deck and entered the ears of every Knight and sailor, "We've defeated the damn sea monsters. Brave Knights and soldiers, don't let any of the Murloc go. Also, please help the apprentice priests to repair the ship."
It was Viscount Wright's voice. He told the news to all the crew members as soon as possible to calm them down. Of course, only Viscount Wright and the bishop knew whether the sea monsters had retreated or they had been defeated by the Wave Stone.
As Viscount Wright expected, Annick, Heidi, and Layria all let out a long sigh of relief.
Lucien was also in a good mood. He opened the gray pocket of the Murloc Sorcerer. Although he could breathe underwater with Amboula's staff, his power would be greatly reduced. If he ran into any sea monsters that were slightly more powerful, he might not be able to escape.
When Lucien opened the pocket, he immediately sensed the surging power of the sea tide. Inside the pocket were six thumb-sized dark-blue gemstones, surrounded by rippling water waves.
"This is a high-quality Wave Stone. They're worth at least ten times more than ordinary Wave Stones. They can be used as the main material of middle-rank magic items, and they can also be used as the auxiliary material of senior-rank magic items. "Lucien thought happily. Who wouldn't like such precious and beautiful gemstones? Also, according to Tom, these were his trophies, and he wouldn't take them back. "What's this?"
Lucien suddenly noticed that there was a rolled-up piece of paper in the pocket. He asked Annick to keep an eye on the surroundings, and then he quietly unfolded the paper.
"Please collect as many Wave Stones as you can and send them to the 'polluted' area. We need to set up a huge magic circle to open the area …"
On the paper, there was a line of vague words, and a map of the so-called polluted area.
Lucien burned the fish skin in his spirit library, "Polluted sea … I've never heard of it before. And it seems that even the murloc sorcerer doesn't know anything about it. The guy who wrote the fish skin needed to draw the map. It looks like it's somewhere in the Storm Strait. "
The language used by the Murloc Sorcerer was a variant of the language of the ancient Magic Empire. Lucien could barely understand it.
"Mr. Evans, the battle has stopped." Annick looked up and said to Lucien.
Lucien closed the pocket and held the magic staff. He nodded, "We'll wait for Mr. Tom's order."
As he was talking, Lucien noticed that as he closed the pocket, the power of the Wave Stones completely disappeared. He thought to himself, "Is this pocket also a magic item?"
I silently chanted an incantation and threw Appraisal at him.
"Kuo-toan Murloc Pocket, apprentice-level magic item. It can cover magic waves."
Seeing the result, Lucien was a bit disappointed. He thought that it was some kind of Shrink Spell or Dimensional Pocket, but it turned out that he was wrong.
At this time, Tom's voice came from the corridor. It was very loud, "What are you doing here?"
"We're here to check every possible damaged part of the cabin under Mr. Pastor's order. We're preparing to repair the divine power circle." The man's voice was slightly arrogant and reserved.
Annick, Layria, and Heidi looked at Lucien, and their faces turned pale again. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for me at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
