3. Why can't I be a warlock and a pirate at the same time? 【4/20】(1/2)
"Well, the legendary Thorballard!"
When Hal's fishing boat passed through the Great Wizard of the Blooming Leaf Shadow around Torbarad Island in the afternoon, Miss Caitlin, who had already changed into the caster's robe, suddenly exclaimed.
It was like the ship under her feet accidentally crossing the magical door, causing two large islands separated from the sea surface to appear on the originally empty sea surface.
The North Island is lively and the South Island is majestic.
From the rugged sea, you can easily see the towering, elf-style mage spire of Nassalas Academy on the South Island.
Especially the grand observatory specially built for astrology teachers is like a lighthouse with magical light. The bright white tower body and violet tower top make the building look like the scenery of Surama.
Caitlin had only seen the landscape of Nasalas Academy in the albums brought back by the Dalaran mages.
Now I have seen this girl who pursues a free life with her own eyes widened her eyes and greedily wanted to deeply engrave the scenery in front of her into her heart.
"I heard that Dean Ayya Blue Moon even bought all the green-skinned slaves in Gilness to build this academy, and the prisoners of the Gilness fleet also worked here for more than a year!
It is said that many people died."
Caitlin turned around and said to Queen Mia, who was hanging her arms with a bandage behind her, saying that she didn't know where she heard the third-handed rumor:
"I also heard that all the wealth of building this magic academy came from the plunder of the Immortal Pirates in the South China Sea. It is said that Mr. Blake Shaw has successively discovered many treasures of ancient pirates, and even took out all the treasures he had plundered Dalaran to raise enough school construction costs for Nassalas Academy.
The goblins in Treasure Bay of Stranglethorn Valley made a fortune through this business. Some of Dalaran's mages complained that the gorgeousness and majesty of Nassalas Academy were based on the hollowing out of Dalaran.
Therefore, they almost hated Black Shaw to the core.
Now in the wars in the North Sea, many Dalaran's mages volunteered to join the alliance's fleet. They wanted to impose the shame of Dalaran's robbery on Black Shaw's fleet.
But to be honest, I don't feel anything about these things.
Anyway, I didn’t like Dalaran either.”
Caitlin sorted out the mage robe on her body and complained:
“The city was filled with guys as stubborn as my dad, who regarded their understanding of power as truth and suppressed all voices that were different from their ideas.
To me it seems so stupid.
During the period after Dalaran City was destroyed by the Polluters, the old men began to absorb and accept spellcasters from other factions.
It has become more open and inclusive, and the image of the city I was born has improved a lot in my eyes.
I think it’s really not a bad thing to be robbed and destroyed by Dalaran. The decaying old thing always needs to be beaten to recognize the reality.”
"Maybe."
Queen Mia looked at the island in front of her with a complicated look.
She whispered:
“But the captured naval officers were put home a few months ago, and although the pirate island was established by Black Shaw, the management of the island is not now in his hands.
It was an old friend of mine who managed this place.
But Thorballard's rise is indeed the greatest humiliation we Gilness have encountered in the past century.
Our fleet was defeated in this sea, not only losing control of Thorballard, but also allowing the pirates to show their mighty view our offshore as their back garden.
My husband and his generals have always remembered that crushing defeat, and they desperately wanted to get their glory back.
I once thought so, after all, I am a Gilnessian and I love my country deeply.
But it wasn't until I saw the madness that was derived from hatred that I realized that we might have gone too far on the wrong path.
I hope to solve this problem by myself.
You know, if all grudges are left to men, it will always end with war, and the Gilness's waste men are trying to turn themselves into monsters to gain the power of revenge.
This is so stupid.
Maybe this time, it’s time for women to solve the problem.”
"Wow, madam, what you said really makes me angry as a woman, but it also makes me feel a little scared."
Caitlin looked at Queen Mia who seemed determined to be determined with a weird look, and she whispered:
"You're going to assassinate Black Shaw alone, are you better not do that. That guy is amazing, and everyone who knows him says that.
In fact, he is the second most admired person in my heart and ranked second!”
"The stupid statement that has become popular among you young people lately is enough!"
Queen Mia reached out to cover her forehead and said helplessly:
"My son is less than ten years old. He always tells me with his fingers that there are all those soldiers he admires the most... You are really too deeply influenced by Black.
Since the list of his bizarre worshippers spread, it seems that overnight, you young people have such a list in your heart.
So, are you actually a 'pirate worshiper'? Miss Caitlyn, no wonder your father was locking you up in the manor.
Listen to my advice, little girl.
You can learn Black's adventurous spirit and use his rise story as an extracurricular reading material to encourage yourself, but never learn his chaotic style.
Don’t take the initiative to think in the so-called ‘dark wisdom’ way.
That will turn you into a psychopath.”
"But I think that's pretty handsome."
Caitlin said with her head tilted, and then she happily held Queen Mia's hand and whispered:
"To be honest, big sister, although we have known each other for a short time, I have decided to learn from you. You are the kind of brave, beautiful, wise and cool successful big sister I want to be in twenty years.
Of course, it would be great if I could still have the same figure as you in twenty years.”
"Then eat more meat, drink more milk, and spend three hours a day on horseback and hunting."
Queen Mia, who was blown by Caitlin, grinned.
She glanced at the eldest lady of the Qiao family and said:
"Look at you, little girl, you are as thin as a pole."
"Two ladies, please be prepared, we are going to dock."
Hal, who was operating the ship behind, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said to the two people in front of him:
"I have sent the news to the island before, and there may be a captain's confidant to greet you, especially you, Miss Caitlyn. I heard that the entrance examinations at the college are quite strict, and you are a transfer student again.
So, you'd better prepare.
I have sent some students who failed the exam to leave here before. They cried so hard, and there are still a few young people who are still in cram schools in Nanhai Town.
If you miss this entrance exam, you will have to wait for another three years.”
"Ah, are there any entrance exams?"
Kaitlyn, full of energy, panicked now.
She was so busy that she opened her carry-on bag, grabbed a few magic notes that she stole and had her father and flew over them, trying to use this "quantum reading" behavior to increase her chances of passing the exam.
But such a gun sharpening is obviously useless.
Queen Mia pulled her up and told her that she should relax at this time. If she was too nervous, even the wisdom she had mastered would be tied into her mind, which would be too bad.
A few minutes later, Hal's fishing boat docked at the dock in the town of Losberg. He greeted a few old pirates, fixed the ship with their help, and removed the boards to allow the two ladies to board the dock.
As soon as he got ashore, Hal saw a bored face wearing a loose "family robe" in a panda-style loose "home robe" sitting on the dock drinking, drinking with a fishing rod and an empty bucket on his hand.
There was still a beautiful but unstimulating bird on his shoulder.
Is this the Air Force again?
Although the captain is very good in all aspects, he is really a third-rate fisherman.
"Hey, Captain, didn't you say you wanted to take that elf lady to play on the island?"
Hal asked curiously:
"Why are you staying here alone?"
"I don't actually know what happened."
Black put down the bottle and said with a wooden face:
"But my mother seemed to feel very happy for me to bring back a living, beautiful, normal, without tentacles or scales.
She drove me out of the house and told me not to go back before evening.
He also said that he had to cook his own food for the guests to taste.
I don't know what deep hatred she has with the elves, but now I just hope that my dear prisoner will not be poisoned to death by having a Kul Tiras-flavored lunch.
Um...
Your name is Caitlin?
If I remember correctly, are you the daughter of Master Ansrem?”
The stinky pirate took a sip of wine and looked at Miss Caitlin, whose eyes were lit behind Hal, and he curled his lips and said:
"You are a direct descendant of Dalaran. Why do you come to our Nasalas Academy? Also, have your alcoholism changed? Will you still go to the bar to mess around at night and get picked up by someone?"
To be continued...
