On days when the wind was blowing, the Belan was anchored outside the territorial waters of the Canahai Clan, and every day it only wandered near the current, refusing to take half a step into the area.The water in this area is a deep black color like ink.Captain Blundy said that it was the Dark Faceless Wizards who cast a curse spell that stained the sea in this black color.From a distance, the sea looks like an ink pool.But as long as you hold the sea water with both hands, you will find that the sea water in the palm of your hand is still crystal clear.Jacques would follow Captain Blunte every day, honestly as a little attendant, Jacques had a good Mensa family bloodline, received a good aristocratic education since childhood, and had a talent for navigation, when he was willing to seriously learn the navigation skills of Captain Brondy, the kind of talent he displayed was like a dazzling pearl in the sand.Captain Blunte would take him on a tour of the ship every day, and let him spend two or three days in various positions on the ship, so that he could get to know the Beran thoroughly.Although Jacques has a lot of bad habits that only aristocratic sons have, he is lazy, scathing, and a little arrogant.But he is not the kind of aristocratic gentleman who is bad to the bone, he also has some advantages, such as being bold, generous, witty, flexible, and most importantly, having a sense of justice and a sympathetic heart.He will take the initiative to contact the sailors at the bottom of the ship, willing to chat with them, and every time they chat, he will be very careful to prepare a glass of water and a few sweet biscuits for those sailors who lack food and clothing.The sailors who lived under the boat, perhaps for a long time, fed on seaweed, fish, shrimp and shellfish, and occasionally tasted some food on land, but not many of them could be shared, so even the ordinary biscuits were extremely precious to these sailors.So, even a few small sweet biscuits will make them laugh so badly, they will eat biscuits very obscenely, they will hold a sweet biscuit in the palm of their hand, first stick out their scarlet tongue and lick it carefully.
Lick the icing on top, then bite the end of the biscuit, soak the biscuit little by little with saliva, and swallow it little by little.Jacques quickly gained Captain Brondy's trust and forged some friendships with the sailors, so that he was surprisingly efficient in carrying out some of Captain Brondy's orders on board, and even did some things more beautifully than the first mate.The first mate's face has become very bad in the last few days, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he hangs his head and waits for Captain Brondy's sentence.He is a miserable man, whose fate is in the hands of Captain Blundy like the other sailors, but he is also fundamentally different from those sailors, that is, he must act according to the will of Captain Blundy, and stand in opposition to those who live at the bottom of the ship.So once the first mate loses the care of Captain Bronty, his life on board will be very painful.The first mate had always thought that Jacques was going to take his place by following Captain Bronte to learn navigation, but he was helpless about it, and for the past few days, although the ship had been anchored at sea, and everyone's life was comfortable, the first mate had been visibly emaciated, and every day he had dark circles under his eyes, like a wounded turtledove, squatting in the corner of the deck.Jacques's series of changes all fell into Joan's eyes.But it still couldn't change Joan's fanatical admiration for the Rand Knight, and every day she would get up early at ten in the morning, hold on to the railing in the aft attic, and watch the Rand Knight do morning exercises with his men, and the eyes were as hot as Jacques looked at her.It's just that Joan hasn't figured out one thing, Knight Rand will not marry a civilian girl as his wife anyway, what he needs is a partner with the status of a noble lady, for a knight like him who has reached the peak of the first turn, he is only half a step away from the second turn, but if you want to cross this threshold, for a knight from a civilian family, it is by no means possible with talent and hard work.The Rand Knight is only one step away from being promoted to a noble baron, and at this time, of course, a powerful noble family needs the full support of a powerful noble family behind him, and this support needs to be maintained by marriage, so the Rand Knight is destined to marry a noblewoman from a prominent aristocratic family, rather than an unidentified commoner girl.But Jacques is different, Jacques himself is a noble son born with a golden spoon, although his mother has no status in the Mensa family, but only with the identity of the son of the Duke of Mensa, he can have no worries about food and clothing all his life, if he can get the approval of the Duke of Mensa, maybe he can also win a small territory for himself, maybe he will become an earl, and become an archon in a small town.He can marry the woman he likes as much as he wants, even if it is to marry a girl from a civilian family, it doesn't matter.But Joan can't see through this, and doesn't care about the sincerity of the aristocratic son Jacques, but he regards the excellent Rand knight as the prince charming in his heart.Ever since he arrived on this ship, Dylan never left his room, he asked Noah and me for hundreds of blank pieces of magical parchment, and every day he had to do was to lie down on his desk and write down the teleportation magic circle in Galapagos City from memory.Senior Dylan told us that he should write down all the patterns of those magic circles on the magic parchment while he had not forgotten the layout of the Galapagos City's teleportation magic circle.The most important thing is that in order to overhaul the teleportation magic array in Galapagos City, Senior Dylan deliberately recorded the coordinates in the spatial rift of the teleportation magic array in Illinas City.And before discovering that Marquis Boris planned to destroy it, when Senior Dylan escaped from the teleportation magic array, he also brought out the seven central devices in the teleportation magic array by the way.Now, Senior Dylan is restoring these design drawings of the Galapagos City's teleportation magic array.On the bookshelves in Senior Dylan's cabin, the scrolls of those magical parchments continued to increase every day, but he was getting thinner and thinner, and his eyes had become sunken after half a month, and his face was full of beard, and he looked sloppy.Seeing his haggard face as he tried to record all the demonic patterns on the teleportation array, I couldn't help but push open the door of his room.Sticking his head into the room, he asked Senior Dylan, who was struggling to write, "Senior, is there any magic pattern circle that I can help you draw?"
”"You?"
Senior Dylan heard my voice, looked at me with a tired face, and said: "You can help me complete the drawing of this teleportation magic array drawing, of course, it is great, I have been worried about those talismans in my mind these days, as time slowly passes, it gradually becomes blurred in my mind, and many details will not be remembered, if the arrangement of these talismans is only a little bit off, there will be several more derivative schemes, and if you want to patch these loopholes later, it will take dozens of times the effort it takes now." ”Maybe it's because of the long hours of continuous work, which makes him seem weak when he speaks.He hesitated for a moment before he said, "You don't understand the magic of the space department, how can you help me?"
”I slipped in through the door and said to Senior Dylan, "Although I don't know much about space magic runes, I'm good at drawing magic scrolls!"
I can help you draw those intricate talismans. ”I said what I was good at, Senior Dylan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "That's really good, I didn't expect you to be good at this, since you are good at drawing magic scrolls, why didn't you enter the Ming Society?"
”I scratched my head and said directly: "I had a little trouble with Ivan of the Ming Society, so I went to the Sword and Rose Society later. ”Senior Dylan listened to my explanation and laughed heartily: "Now, the matter of your duel with William has been spread in the imperial capital, everyone knows that William returned to the Royal Academy of Magic after graduation to smash the field, but he was defeated by a freshman who had just entered the school for half a semester, at this time, since Lucia recommended you to be the president of the club, you will definitely be able to do it for a long time." ”"I don't think Ivan would have thought that he would turn you away and let the Sword and Rose Society take advantage of you."
Senior Dylan said.In this way, I became Senior Dylan's assistant, and I would spare a lot of time every day to help him sort out the drawings he drew by himself, some of which Senior Dylan knew how to draw, but he couldn't draw them with a magic carving pen.My addition immediately made up for the shortcomings in this area, and the efficiency of drawing the drawings of the teleportation magic array was greatly improved.I couldn't help but learn a lot about talisman in space magic in just a few days, and I also gained more trust from Senior Dylan.He would always throw me some of the magic notes he had recorded and the manuscript of the basic books of space magic, so that I could learn the most basic knowledge of them.In this way, I drew those magic scrolls and learned the contents of the scrolls.Gradually, spatial magic opened a door to me.Sometimes, when I go back to the room to rest, I will also take out the Hammer of the Space-Fragmenter, carefully examine the magic pattern on it, only to find that I have also made some progress recently, at the very least, some of the superficial magic runes on the Space-Fragmenter's Warhammer, I can recognize it.Then, Senior Dylan came up with another thing that made everyone feel hopeless.He took out a detailed list and solemnly handed it to Noah and me, displaying a huge amount of magical materials, which were almost in the sky.I sat with Noah and couldn't help but start worrying about this list."
Jijia, do you think we can go back?"
The list was placed on the table in front of Noah's body, and he asked me faintly.The recent series of events almost crushed him, and he always seemed to have some gains and losses lately.I said without hesitation: "Of course, with Senior Dylan, he has a complete set of blueprints for the teleportation magic array, even if we can't capture Galapagos, as long as we have enough time and sufficient materials, we can rebuild a teleportation magic array." ”Noah was silent again.After a while, Noah said: "I have seen the list of materials listed by Senior Dylan, so many magic metals and magic materials are needed, even in the imperial capital, it is not easy to collect so many magic materials, it is a huge amount of magic crystals, if Louis is here, maybe he can do it." ”I said to Noah, "We can too, believe in ourselves." ”After staying in this sea for nearly a week, we finally ushered in a strong north wind, the howling north wind blew the sea surface into layers of huge waves, and our sailboat was like a dead leaf under the huge waves, and it was in danger of capsizing at any time.Captain Bronte stood guard in the captain's quarters, holding the steering wheel, and began to slowly sail into the current.Jacques and the first mate each led a pair of sailors and were busy on the ship.Jacques gathered some men and quickly secured the supplies on the deck.The first mate led a group of sailors to raise the ship to full sail, and the north wind, like a merciless hand, pushed the Belan forward, breaking into the black sea like ink.We were well prepared this time, and the sailors were divided into two shifts and took turns on deck day and day, while Captain Bronte stayed in his captain's quarters, carefully steering the ship through the waters.The wind blew all the sails and crossed the sea as fast as they could.The more you go into this sea, the more you will feel the strange atmosphere here.Although the Dark Faceless and the Naga Sea Clan of the Vaschi Plane fought fiercely, their battles were fought at the bottom of the sea, and we couldn't even see any clues on the surface of the sea.Our ship took advantage of the north wind to walk into this black sea for another five days, and finally saw some strange corpses floating in the sea area in front of us, perhaps because the battle on the bottom of the sea was not over, so no one cleaned the battlefield at this time.The boat slowly leaned over, and saw dead bodies floating on the surface of the sea, most of them were some fish-tailed Naga Sea tribes, and many of them were adult warriors in some armor, their bodies floating on the surface of the sea and unnoticed, their light green scales shining in the sun.These Naga Hai tribes were unusually tall, the fishtail alone was more than two meters, and their strong bodies were covered with the muscles of the grave, and their bodies were covered with some scars from fighting.When Captain Blunte saw the corpses of the Nagas, he hurriedly approached the boat and shouted to the sailors on board, "Guys, get to work!"
