The ship, which had been hijacked by a dark wizard belonging to the underground world, was sailing quietly on the majestic ocean.
After experiencing the initial panic, the wizard apprentices on the ship continued their boring and boring life at sea every day.
But what is different from the original escort wizards is that these two powerful wizards, Ronald and Simon, have a very kind attitude towards the teenagers, and even protect them as if they are precious property.
"Fighting is strictly prohibited" is no longer just a casual statement. Anyone who dares to offend will be hung from the mast and exposed to the sun.
So on the second day after the ship was hijacked, after the usual fight broke out in the restaurant, everyone immediately saw the dark wizard's methods.
Regardless of right or wrong, the four teenagers who participated in the fight were ripped into naked pigs and hung upside down on the mast to enjoy the sea breeze for two hours. When they were put down, they were as unconscious as boneless insects.
.
"Don't try to challenge my bottom line again. This kind of punishment is not even an appetizer!" Ronald said in a calm tone, without even looking at the miserable condition of the four punished people, and directly ordered them to be dragged into the cabin to let them recover on their own, and
Warning to everyone for the last time.
Although the punishment was extremely harsh, after using such thunderous methods, the two dark wizards showed their erudition and knowledge in front of everyone.
Raymond, who was appointed as the manager of all teenagers, found their weaknesses after a few days of careful study.
Ronald is the most powerful, and he is also Simon's immediate boss, but the two are still life-or-death friends who have fought together for thirty years.
Ronald, who has a bold and calm personality, is very patient, while Simon has a hot temper.
So after observing them for several days and grasping the differences in their personalities, Raymond began to be more specific and asked everything he needed to know from the two of them.
Of course, the first thing Raymond did was to use the things he got from the wizard Kirk.
Dozens of magic stones, a black card about the size of two fingers, several small bottles, a powdery substance wrapped in parchment, and a folded map fragment sewn into the inner lining.
When these things were placed in front of Ronald, Ronald's breathing became heavier, and the surprise and astonishment in his eyes made Raymond startled.
Staring straight at the things that Raymond took out, Ronald took a deep breath for a long time and smiled bitterly. "If he knew that the white wizard was so rich, he should have stripped them all naked and thrown them away.
Those who boarded the boat..."
Very emotional, Ronald did not hide his envy. Ronald explained everything that Raymond had collected from the wizard Kirk.
That black card is a magic crystal card. One card is equivalent to a thousand low-level magic stones, which is a huge wealth.
The small bottles and the powder wrapped in parchment are potions often used by some wizards.
The purpose of the map fragment cannot be determined, but according to the age of the parchment, it should be thousands of years old. Unfortunately, it is only one-sixth of it, so there is little hope of collecting it all.
Magic stone is actually a currency used in transactions between wizards. Because the energy contained in magic stone can be extracted and most wizards need to use it, it has become a common currency in the wizarding world countless years ago.
.
The black magic crystal card was made by refining the energy in a thousand magic stones and using a special compression method. It was equivalent to a windfall for Raymond, because in
In the underground world, magic stones are a kind of hard currency, and their value is higher than that in the surface world.
Keeping his joy deep in his heart, Raymond took a very open view of this windfall. After making sure that Ronald had no intention of taking it away, he carefully stuffed it into his pocket.
Later, Raymond took advantage of Simon's happy mood and approached him to ask him about studying in the underground world, and also asked him about the withered vine technique he had used.
Raymond was very excited about the magic spell performed by Simon, because its power was definitely not comparable to Dean Bammer's green vine magic technique.
Simon, who has a fiery personality, doesn't mind Raymond's humbly asking for advice, but the technique he masters is of wood attribute, and he can only learn it after he has become an official wizard.
The outspoken wizard Simon also warned that even if Raymond became an official wizard, he would still need to pay a sufficient price to learn this technique from him. Wizards in the underground world follow the principle of equal exchange.
Principle, wanting to gain something without paying the price is the preserve of robbers.
During the communication with the wizard Simon, I don’t know if this Simon has little contact with people, but he often showed a shy expression under Raymond’s compliments.
A short, fat, majestic man with such an expression on his face made Raymond feel horrified and had goosebumps all over his body. He almost vomited.
But fortunately, the wizard Simon didn't have any special hobbies and told Raymond very sincerely about many things that must be paid attention to after entering the underground world.
The underground world is completely different from the surface world. Among human wizards, there is less cover than in the surface world, and they are basically respected for their strength.
Especially in an environment far away from the base, it is very common to kill people, seize treasures, destroy corpses and eliminate traces, and there are even evil entities who specialize in sneak attacks on other wizards for a living.
Then, after you are far away from the gathering place of wizards, you must be more careful about those strange creatures. It is very likely that some seemingly weak creatures will have the power to destroy the world.
"Boy, although the underground world is scary, it also has rich resources here that the surface world cannot have." Simon patted Raymond's shoulder generously, lowered his voice and was very mysterious, and specifically warned Raymond: "Enter
After entering the underground world, don't be tempted by the City of Shadows, where the apprentice mortality rate is the highest."
He was horrified. Although Raymond had thought that such an underground world that robbed apprentices of their resources would not be as free as Ronald described, words like "mortality rate" were still shocking.
The wizard Simon, who looked serious, realized that he had made a mistake after speaking, and immediately changed the topic, unwilling to continue talking.
But as it was a matter of vital interest, how could Raymond give up questioning and pursue Simon relentlessly for a week. The wizard Simon, who was annoyed by Raymond and couldn't bear it, quietly pulled Raymond aside and spoke.
I gave him some vague instructions.
The more the wizard Simon avoids such questions, the less Raymond will give up. If he cannot grasp such important information, then after entering the underground world, Raymond will have no way out.
Hard work and hard work, using all means...
Finally, after Raymond swore not to leak anything the wizard Simon said, this seemingly reckless guy quietly told Raymond that the best choice was the Hongze Wetland. This place was both relatively safe and also safe.
