My Magic Age
Chapter 506 4. Mantis stalks cicada
The airship flew straight to the southwest at full speed under the bright starry sky. I stood on the deck, facing the biting night wind, and my heart felt as cold as freezing point.
Many people get lost at night because they can't find a reference object. That's because they can't understand the star map at night. But because of some magical experiences in my childhood, I happen to have the method to identify the star map. I know how to find my way at night, so I can even roughly identify where I am standing under the stars. The southwest direction of Shloit Province is not the direction to the imperial capital at all.
The destination of the airship should be Salta Province. This province is located in the west and south of Sloit Province. More than half of the entire province is covered by the Ziqing Mountains. It is an inland province and borders the Ziqing Mountain City. Salta Nearly half of Tasmania's land is mountainous, rich in Warcraft materials, but the land is barren. There are various Warcraft in the mountainous areas. Many people choose to come here to try their luck in order to get rich overnight, so it is a paradise for hunters and adventure groups. , which is also known as the hunting land.
The airship passed through the clouds and was under the cover of night, so the passengers on the airship could not tell the direction of the airship. Everything the captain planned was still in the dark. The captain did not drive the airship to the imperial capital. direction, but to the barren and desolate backcountry of Sarthe Province. What exactly did the captain and his crew have in mind? Is it really just to hijack these guests on the spacecraft?
I stood on the deck and was puzzled. The tauren was still lying in the tent on the deck, snoring like rolling thunder.
At this time, it was already late at night, and even most of the crew on the airship had fallen asleep. They obviously did not think that anyone would see through their plot early, so everything went as usual on the airship. I stood on the deck for a long time, feeling in my heart Sigh: Sometimes, women's intuition is really extremely sharp. It's really incredible that Mrs. Alia noticed something abnormal on the airship with just a hint of uneasiness.
If she hadn't been suspicious, I wouldn't have been able to stay awake in the middle of the night and run to the deck to observe the star map, and I wouldn't have discovered the secrets on this airship.
For me, the past two years of winter hunting, dealing with those powerful barbarian warriors in the harsh environment of ice and snow, have already made my heart extremely strong, so I still behaved calmly at this moment and returned slowly. Into Molayar's room on the first floor of the deck.
Mrs. Alia went back to her cabin to rest. Only Moraya was sitting under the lamp and flipping through a magic book. I pushed the wooden door of her room. The door was not locked. It should have been reserved for me. The door, I just gently pushed open a narrow crack and squeezed in.
Seeing me turn around and gently close the door, and then carefully observe outside along the crack of the door, Moraya opened her mouth in surprise, lowered her voice and asked me: "Did Mrs. Aaliya really tell you right? Is there something going on with this airship?"
I carefully closed the door, turned around and nodded to Moraya, and told her what I found on the deck. After listening, she sneered and said to me in a low voice: "These robbers are really getting bolder and bolder now. , dared to sneak into El City and hijack an entire airship. I really underestimated them before!"
"No wonder there are so many professional warriors suddenly on the airship this time. These people should probably be their people. Hey, we are really unlucky. It is a rare occasion to take an airship and we encounter such trouble!" I complained with a frown.
When Ya spoke, she had already started to sort out her magic waist bag. She took out some small pockets of different shapes one by one and placed them on the bed. She poured out the seeds of the magic plants inside, checked them carefully, and then placed them on the bed. They were bumped into pockets and then put away one after another. Wood magicians will rely on various powerful plant seeds, and those seeds of Moraya, even the barbarians of the Storm Bear, have a hard time breaking free from the shackles of the thorn tree vines.
In the past two years, we have become very close teammates, and I have a deep understanding of her powerful wood magic.
Moraya was silent for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid things won't be that simple. To be able to quietly fly out an airship on a fixed route from El City without anyone noticing, these bandits must be Used a lot of lurks in the city of El In this hijacking incident, these informants probably cannot survive in El City. Compared with this airship, the value of those informants is not too low. If they are just for the property on the airship, it would be a bit Not worth it!”
I took out two 'Magic Catalysis' scrolls from my pocket, put one into my arms, and handed the other to Ya. I just glanced at the sealing runes on the scrolls and the notes on the magic parchment. Then, Ya He put the scroll into his arms unceremoniously, and then kept smacking his lips and saying: "Tsk, tsk, you really have a lot of good things on your body. Do you even have such a rare scroll?"
'Magic Catalysis' is an extremely rare first-level magic scroll. It can enhance the magic power of a magician in a short period of time. It can increase the magic power of a magician within level ten by two levels out of thin air, like me. As a first-level magician, once I use a 'Magic Catalysis' scroll on myself, the magic skills I can release within half an hour are equivalent to the power of a third-level magician's magic skills, but the 'Magic Catalysis' Scrolls do not increase the capacity of magic.
Many magicians are willing to spend a very expensive price to buy the "magic catalysis" scroll, because many magicians are stuck at the bottleneck of promotion and can never lift the last thin veil. "Magic catalysis" is just an auxiliary magic scroll that can help magicians successfully promote.
In order to successfully promote, magicians have come up with many ways. Among them, when magic apprentices are promoted to magicians, the most common way is to take a bottle of "mental potion", which can greatly improve the magic apprentice's ability to restore magic in a short time and form a false "magic vortex" in the body. In this way, magic apprentices can feel what kind of state the magic vortex exists in in a short time. As long as many magic apprentices experience this feeling, they will easily condense a real magic vortex.
The 'magic catalysis' scroll is even higher than the 'spiritual potion'. It can assist the ninth-level magician to break through the first-level tenth-level barrier. It is a stepping stone for low-level magicians to change their jobs to mid-level magicians. However, this kind of magic scroll is very rare, so its price has always been high, and it has always been a situation of being priced out of stock. The real reason for its scarcity is that magic pharmacists have no way to make 'jade fire ink'.
Moraya knew that Marvin and I opened a magic grocery store and that the business was very prosperous. She also knew that more than half of the best-selling magic scrolls in the grocery store were made by me, but she didn't know that these 'magic catalysis' scrolls were also drawn. After all, the pattern of the 'magic catalysis' scroll is a kind of useless scroll. Although it can be purchased, the magic ink used to make the scroll is extremely rare.
"We can't waste such a good thing because of these bandits. I'm going to be promoted to a mid-level magician, and I just lack this scroll. I shouldn't need it to deal with them!" Moraya said confidently.
"Ya, why do you think they did this?" I sat cross-legged on her bed and turned my head to ask her.
"What's the use of guessing? Why not just catch a crew member and ask him directly?" Moraya raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"Then what are we waiting for!" I jumped off the bed and walked directly out of the cabin.
... Beautiful dividing line ...
The bottom warehouse at the bottom of the airship is a warehouse for storing supplies and a lounge for the crew. The huge keel of the hull can be clearly seen in the wooden corridor. I kind of understand why these bandits would take the risk and hijack an airship. For them, this airship is undoubtedly a movable treasure house.
The main keel of this airship is actually made of a giant ironwood tree that is more than 70 meters long. Such huge ironwood trees are rare in the dense forest of Xinliu Valley. There are less than 10 to 20 trees in the entire forest. Trees like ironwood, which have excellent hardness and toughness, have a very long growth cycle. Ironwood trees only grow about one foot high at most in a year. The keel trunk of a 60-70 meter high ironwood tree needs to be at least 100 meters high. The growth cycle of this kind of ironwood tree is often more than hundreds of years. It can be seen that such an airship alone is worth at least hundreds of magic crystals.
At this moment, I turned into a black mist and shuttled through the dim corridor. This is the lowest level of the airship. It is inevitable that it will be a bit stuffy. The doors of the rooms on both sides are ajar. Of course, I will not break into a room casually, pull out an ordinary crew member from the bed, and torture him about what he knows. My target is the first mate on the airship. As the captain's assistant, it must be the captain's confidant.
Moraya and I agreed that it would be very difficult to quietly subdue the captain who liked to have a gloomy face, because he was not only accompanied by a servant, but his captain's room was on the deck, and the slightest movement could easily alert others. Although the first mate's status was second only to the captain, he needed to assist the captain in managing the many crew members on the airship, so he basically ate and lived with the crew.
Airships like this, which mainly rely on carrying passengers as their main means of operation, usually build crew lounges in the worst conditions, such as the cabin at the bottom of the airship.
Under the cover of shadows, I searched one by one in the cabin at the bottom for the single room that only the first mate was qualified to use. Finally, I found a room that met the requirements at the end of the corridor, next to the warehouse. Seeing that there were no people around, I emerged from the fog. After all, I could not enter the room through the crack of the door in the form of black fog, so I could only reveal my figure directly outside the room after confirming that the surroundings were safe.
I made a safe gesture to Moraya who was hiding in the shadows on the other side of the corridor. She followed me silently from the other side of the corridor like a wild cat.
I took out the sharp skinning knife from my arms and was about to insert the knife into the crack of the door to cut off the bolt inside. Moraya motioned me to wait. She then carefully took out a small bottle from her magic waist bag, pulled out the cork on it, poured some gray powder from it, put it into a straw made of dry reeds, and then gently inserted the straw into the crack of the door and blew a breath into it.
Then she whispered to me in a very low voice: "The pollen of konjac flowers has a strong hypnotic effect."
Then she stuffed an unknown seed into my mouth. Maybe this is the antidote to konjac pollen.
I inserted the skinning knife through the crack of the door, and it took a lot of effort to quietly cut off the bolt inside. Then Moraya and I pushed open the hatch and went in. I heard even breathing sounds inside, but the room was pitch black. I took the moonlight stone drum out of my waist bag and let it float beside me. I injected a trace of breath magic elements into it, and the moonlight stone drum totem emitted a bright glow. In an instant, everything in the room gradually became clear in my eyes.
This room is not big, only about five or six square meters at most. There is a very simple writing table and a chair against the wall on the left side. There is also a sheepskin notebook on the table, and a quill pen is inserted in the ink bottle. A map of the province of Schloit is nailed on the wall, but this map is very rough, with only the simplest lines, outlining the trends of all mountains and rivers within a radius of nearly one thousand kilometers, and only red dots replace towns on it.
Looking inside along the wall, there is a very narrow single wooden bed at the innermost part of the room. The gray blanket is draped on the ground, and on this small bed, two people are sleeping in each other's arms. A bald man with a strong and sturdy figure shows his strong bronze upper body and the legs of a woman whose face cannot be seen clearly are intertwined. Maybe it is not cold in the room, and the woman's long legs are exposed outside the blanket.
There is a faint smell of golden apple wine and perfume in the room. From the clothes scattered on the ground, there is a very eye-catching red skirt. I guess the woman should be a dancer in the restaurant bar. Among the scattered clothes, there are also crew uniforms. I squatted down and picked up a crew uniform with a dagger. The collar badge on the chest is a copper badge. The crew who are qualified to wear the badge must have an extraordinary status. It seems that even if they are not the first mate, their status will not be too bad.
Moraya and I looked at each other and saw Moraya's innocent expression. It seemed that she was silently saying to me: Jijia, you don't want a woman to do such a rough job!
I shrugged my shoulders speechlessly, knowing that this job should fall on me, and expressed my dissatisfaction and protest to her.
Moraya smiled at me smugly.
I put away the dagger angrily, rolled up the sleeves of my magic robe, and then walked a few steps forward to the front of the wooden bed. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the big bald head of the burly man, like pulling a carrot, and dragged him rudely to the floor.
The blanket on the wooden bed slipped to the ground, revealing the woman's curvy body. I secretly took a few glances. Moraya next to me snorted coldly and stretched out her hand to cover the dancer with the blanket on the ground.
And the burly man was like a dead pig at this moment, lying straight on the floor.
Moraya used her slender fingertips to draw a magic pattern in the air, and only uttered three short magic spells. A green vine crawled out of the magic circle like a water snake, like a spiritual life, and swam to the burly man's body, flexibly tying his hands and feet completely...
