Artificer Adventure Guide

"Hey~ Me! Master, where did this damn thing come from? Is this still Khorvaire!"

On the endless sea, Carl and Hope floated on the water, rising and falling with the waves.

In the sky, four moons hung high in the sky, and a golden crystal ring passed across the middle of the sky.

It was four of the twelve moons surrounding Eberron, as well as the golden crystal ring formed from the remains of the sky dragon Siberys.

Judging from the position of the golden crystal ring in the sky, this sea is probably located near the equator of the planet Eberron.

In other words, although Carl and Hope returned to Eberron, they were not near the continent of Khorvaire.

Manipulating the dragon crystal on his chest, Karl reduced the output of the fire element to a very safe power to maintain the stable floating state of the power armor in the sea.

Hope stood on top of the power armor and looked far into the distance, but could not find any ships or islands.

It was mid-afternoon, and the harsh sunlight was scorching everything.

There was no other way, so Karl could only take out the parts of the sailboat that had been sailed once in the river in the underground city from his backpack and assemble it on site.

"Damn! First I was captured by the Mind Flayer and then forced to survive in the wilderness. Now I finally returned to Eberron and turned into a deserted island... Oh no! It's survival at sea. Am I going to have Mercury retrograde this year?"

After barely assembling a hull, Karl let Hope get on the boat first, and then continued to drive the power armor to perfect the hull.

"It's good to be back. As long as you can find a place where there are people, as a student of Arkanix, how can you get a ticket for the airship to return to the continent of Khorvaire!"

Lying on the deck of the sailboat, Hope said jokingly while passing the materials to Carl.

But Akanix's students don't have such a big reputation, unless his instructor is a world-famous mage or legend.

Calculated in his previous life, Karl Dingtian was an ordinary person who was lucky enough to be admitted to the C9 Alliance University by relying on regional policies.

How could he have such connections?

After removing the helmet, Karl looked at Hope speechlessly.

"I think so too! But the aerostat is the property of the royal families of various countries and the Tongxing Longwen family. Unless the guarding mage on the aerostat is my schoolmate, otherwise, we can only save our own money and go back."

Although these words are somewhat demoralizing, Karl is still quite confident in his ability to make money.

After all, he was the one who used his whims to pay off his student loan in the first year of school with the money from selling magic items.

Although this is not unique among Akanix, it is something that only a very few people can do.

However, based on what the two of them had gained in the dungeon, as long as they sold a few pieces of Kybor Dragon Crystal, they would have enough money for their boat tickets.

Soon, Carl installed the parts of the sailboat.

Taking off his power armor and putting it into his backpack, Karl controlled the sails, trying to let the sea breeze carry the two of them to nearby land.

The wind and waves on the sea are far greater than Karl imagined. Coupled with the tidal gravity brought by the 12 moons, Eberron's sea is more dangerous than the earth.

The sailboat floated on the sea for two hours and turned over more than ten times.

This worries Carl and Hope.

"This is not the way to go!"

After wiping the seawater from his face, Karl shouted at the top of his voice to Hope next to him.

The sound of the waves covered most of his words. If Hope hadn't also had high perception attributes, he might not have been able to hear what Karl was saying.

"What should we do?"

Holding tightly to the side of the boat, Hope tried to maintain her balance.

Opening his backpack, Carl directly summoned the power armor and put it on himself. He waved to Hope, and he activated the Kybor Dragon Crystal.

"Come up! I'll take you to heaven!"

Since you can’t see land from low down, let’s go up to the sky and take a look!

If Carl's power armor is running at full power, it can take the two of them to an altitude of at least 200 meters.

"good!"

Without saying a word, Hope climbed into Carl's power armor. Hope crossed his two long legs around Carl's waist and hugged Carl's helmet with both hands.

"Huh~"

Flames spurted out from under the feet of the power armor, and Carl and Hope flew into the sky in the white mist of sea water evaporated by the flames.

"No islands seen to the east!"

As the distance between the power armor and the sea gradually widened, Hope and Carl's vision also expanded rapidly.

However, when the flames ejected by the power armor gradually weakened, Hope did not see any land in the direction he was observing.

The terrible reality made Hope hug Carl tightly, but the hard power armor hurt her.

"West, hiss~ There seems to be no island in the west, but..."

After saying "but" for a long time, Karl didn't say anything.

The impatient Hope immediately let go of his hands holding Carl's neck, then used an iron bridge to lean back.

In the distant sky, an object shining with golden light was falling rapidly towards the sea.

It was Siberius Dragonglass, a special kind of dragonglass that had an amplifying effect on dragonmark holders.

The Siberys gold crystal ring surrounding Eberron will drop some dragon crystals from time to time. However, due to the geographical location, most of these Siberys dragon crystals fall in the hometowns of giants and dragon clan territories in the equatorial region. .

Naturally, not many people dare to go to the Dragon Clan's territory, and Xen'drik, the hometown of the giants, is cursed by the Destiny Gods and the Six Dark Gods, so the environment is dangerous.

Because of this, there are more "adventurers" chasing the falling dragon crystals in the sea in the equatorial region.

Of course, these adventurers are also part-time pirates on weekdays.

After all, the falling of dragon crystals is irregular, and they also need to eat.

In just a moment, Hope understood Carl's idea.

"Do you want to swim over first, and when other ships come, use dragon crystals as a reward to let them take us to land?"

"No! There are not many good people who can survive in this sea area. You must be prepared to kill them all."

Reaching out to pick up Hope, Carl turned the jet nozzle and rushed towards the direction where the dragon crystal fell.

"Plop!"

With the power armor completing a hard landing on the sea, huge waves engulfed Carl and Hope.

The two restarted the underwater breathing caps and swam towards the direction of the dragon crystal.

Although it is not known whether any ship has seen the dragon crystal, this is the safest way at present.

…

“Captain! Dragon crystals have fallen to the west! No other ships have been found!”

On a small pirate ship, the pirate on guard put down his telescope and shouted loudly to the deck.

The sailors and captain who were dealing with the bodies heard this and returned to their respective posts without even caring about looting the victims’ treasures.

“Left full rudder! Men! Take the dragon crystals! I’ll take you to Sharn to have a good time!”

Waving the scimitar in his hand, the pirate captain bared his yellow rotten teeth and encouraged his subordinates.

Sharn is the most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Breland, known as the city of a thousand towers. It is the most famous city on the continent of Khorvaire. As long as you have money, you can enjoy countless services there.

Of course, it is also a crime city, and the “towers” ​​are naturally divided into upper and lower levels.

How many beautiful views can be seen at the top of the tower, and how many corpses are buried under the tower.

The opposition between the upper city and the lower city is quite serious, not inferior to Piltover and Zaun in “League of Legends”.
