The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

"You guys, bring the others and help me clean up the area." Arrita casually named a few strong guys. "You can use explosives and get some stones to level the ground. Then in the middle of the island Build two rooms on that platform. You, you, and you, go to the weapons depot, get your weapons, and explore the island."

After the crew members who were exploring the path set off, Kong Ming also packed up. Not only did he carry a large satchel on his back, but he also packed a lot of things that he thought would be useful for the expedition, and then gave these things to Hercules Ya. After Erlita, the two people set off one after another.

The Treasure Island did not disappoint Kong Ming. Less than twenty meters into the woods, Kong Ming discovered at least four plants that he had never seen in the East China Sea before, including even extremely rare man-eating plants. , although they were at least a few meters away, the thing that looked like the piranha in Plants vs. Zombies seemed to be keenly aware of the presence of Kong Ming and his group from their footsteps or smell. Two rows of petals with teeth suddenly opened, and a snake-like stamen hissed in the air.

"What an interesting thing. This is a hybrid between animals and plants." Kong Ming stopped, pushed up his glasses, and squatted down to look at the rare plant seriously. "Or, in fact, it is a hybrid between animals and plants." Like the blood-petal flowers of Xerath, it is a type of plant element."

"Boss, what are you looking at?" Arita's head poked out from behind Kong Ming, "Did you find something edible?"

"I don't know if we can eat it, but I think it won't mind eating us."

"How is it possible?" Arrita also saw the thing that was not sure whether it was grass or a tree standing in front of Kong Ming, and completely ignored the sharp teeth of this guy. "How could it be possible to eat such a big thing?" people"

"You're right, Arrita." Kong Ming carefully observed the plant again, "Judging from its size, this plant should feed on insects and small animals, but judging from its leaves, If so, it should also have the ability to photosynthesize, which means it can survive even if it doesn’t eat. What a magical plant.”

"Then is this thing useful to you, boss?"

"Arrita, not everything can be distinguished by its usefulness and non-use. If it is not useful now, it may not be useful in the future. If it is useful now, it may not be useful in the future."

"Oh oh oh that other end, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say" Kong Ming stood up and pushed up his glasses, "let's go ahead and take a look."

After the two people continued walking in the forest for another half hour, the dense trees had completely blocked the sky, the light in the woods became darker and darker, and the air began to be filled with the smell of rotting plants. Some strange-looking insects were flying around in the woods in swarms, and Kong Ming even seemed to see some twisted black shadows deep in the woods.

After a rough estimate, Kong Ming found at least dozens of plants in this forest that had never appeared in the East China Sea, and dozens of insects that he had never seen before. In addition, those seen in the comics seemed to be A rare beast put together. This island may not be of much value to any pirate, but to Kong Ming, it is definitely the biggest treasure in the entire East China Sea.

"Arrita, tell me, if you were asked to find a place to build a house on this island, where would you build the house?"

"Is this it?" Arrita held her chin with her hand and looked thoughtful. Then a few seconds later, she pulled out her big iron rod from behind without hesitation. The corner of Kong Ming's mouth twitched, and he calmly took two steps back. Holding his glasses, he opened the magic shield on his body. After thinking about it, he took two steps back.

"One, two, three, let's go." As she said this, Arrita threw her iron rod into the air. After a few somersaults in the air, the iron rod hit the ground with a thud. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kong Ming always felt that when the iron rod hit the ground, the ground of the entire Zhenshou Island trembled.

"Let me take a look." Arrita looked in the direction pointed by the iron rod. "I decided to build my house at the right place." As she said that, Arrita pointed to the other side of the woods with her finger. A lonely stone peak leaked out, "built on the top of that mountain."

"Are you sure you want to build a house on the top of this mountain?" Kong Ming looked seriously at the solitary peak and the rocky mountain surrounded by cliffs on all sides. He pushed up his glasses and asked seriously, "Then how do you plan to get up there?"

"Oh oh oh"

"How do you plan to get up there? I can't understand you oh oh oh."

"Actually, I'm still thinking about this."

""

Talking to the second-rate Arrita was such a surprise.

As Kong Ming led Arrita towards the stone mountain, he skillfully changed the topic, "I suspect that these plants and animals on this island may not be the result of natural reproduction. I said, Arrita, are you listening? "

"Boss, I feel like something is watching us." Arrita answered the question and looked around with a vigilant expression, "But it's strange that no one can be found."

There’s no need to ask what it is. It must be the unlucky guy that Luffy and the others met when they went out to sea in history and fell into the treasure chest and couldn’t get out. However, because I watched the anime One Piece too early, Kong Ming can’t remember it anymore. What is the name of this supporting character who only appeared in one episode?

I wonder if there is something wrong with Mondo. It seems that I don’t know where the string went. Mengka seems to be a person from the pirate world, but he seems to be a marine.

Well, it doesn't matter, he is a weakling anyway, it doesn't matter what his name is, it's not important.

But what is gratifying is that after Arrita has been trained by the warriors of Azeroth, not only has her strength increased by an unknown amount, but her intuition has also become much sharper. After the navy has obtained the training method of the Sixth Form of the Navy, they can also choose to have Arrita strengthen the training. This bastard is not required to challenge the Yonko in the future, but it cannot be better than some seven who do not want to disclose their names. The combat effectiveness of Wuhai Shame is still low.

"Don't think so much. The reason you didn't notice him might be because he was spying on you from a distance, but"

Before Kong Ming finished speaking,

"Oh oh oh, it turns out someone is spying on me." Arrita covered her face with her fists, looking shy, "Has her invincible beauty spread to this inaccessible island? Wait, boss, you What is that expression? Are you also stunned by her beauty?"

"I'm stunned by your invincible self-confidence." Kong Ming's originally smooth thinking was shattered by Arrita.

"I'm not as good as you said," Arrita replied modestly with a smile on her face.

"What did I want to say just now?" Kong Ming turned around and continued walking forward, "Oh, I remembered that since we plan to stay on this island permanently, the things monitoring us will show up sooner or later. Now I doubt this There is an ancient ruin hidden on the island, so I hope to use your good luck to help me.”

"What are you talking about, boss?"

"I said, Alita, turn around and I'll find something from the luggage behind you."

"Oh oh oh"

"Have you found the boss?"

"It'll be ready soon. Alita, this is the last one. Let's set off now. You go ahead and go wherever you want."

"Leave it to me, boss"

After walking for a while, Kong Ming and Arrita had arrived near the stone mountain.

"Oh my god" Kong Ming behind Arrita suddenly made an exclamation sound.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Arrita turned her head and looked at Kong Ming doubtfully, "Have you been bitten by a snake?"

"Do you think I'm a person who doesn't take precautions before going into the woods?"

"Oh, oh, boss, what's your expression?"

"I'm sighing." Kong Ming adjusted his glasses and looked at Arrita as if he were looking at a rare animal. "I always thought that the only person with overlord luck in this world is Bucky the Clown. I didn't expect that." , Arrita, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a hidden European emperor."

"Although I still don't understand what you are talking about, boss." Although the second-rate Arrita was confused, she still confidently put her hands on her waist and leaned back, "I am so powerful, hahahahaha."

Although before going to the island, Kong Ming guessed that there must be some secrets on the Precious Beast Island, such as a laboratory in the ancient kingdom specially used for species hybridization, but guessing is just guessing after all. Kong Ming is not sure whether there really is one, and even if there is, nearly a thousand years have passed. Kong Ming doesn't know where the laboratory is buried.

Because it doesn’t matter where, Kong Ming just jokingly asked Arrita to choose a place. But what Kong Ming didn’t expect was that just when they were about to reach the rocky mountain that Arrita pointed to, Kong Ming actually felt it.

A powerful magic power, or in other words, a node where magic power gathers, is located inside the stone mountain that Arrita chose.

This was a discovery that surprised Kong Ming and almost made him lose his temper.

You know, when Kong Ming first founded the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, in order to sell his goods, Kong Ming was either taking a passenger ship or on his way to take a passenger ship almost every day, traveling all over the Kingdom of Goa to Sri Lanka. In all the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Kandivia, the days of using passenger ships as their home did not end until Kong Ming met Arrita in Navia City, who was deceived into a marriage and almost lost both her property and property.

Next, Kong Ming and Arrita drove Arrita's Miss Labdaku and started the trade chapter of the Age of Discovery. After that, Kong Ming went to more places. It is no exaggeration to say that if there are a hundred docks and villages along the East China Sea, then Kong Ming has been there for at least sixty years. However, even after traveling to so many places, Kong Ming still has not found any one suitable for his own construction. The Mage Tower is a naturally formed node where magic power gathers.

Kong Ming is not greedy either. He will not ask unrealistically to find a paradise similar to Karazhan or the Well of Eternity, or the Well of Dark Night, where the magic power can surge out. He only needs one that can gather magic power to power his mage tower. It will not be like the building he is currently located on the outskirts of Navia City, which is called the mage tower. In fact, there is no magic power on the tower at all. Just wherever the goods are.

but no

As the most powerful mage in the pirate world, Kong Ming couldn't find a suitable place to build his own mage tower.

The pirate world is too unfriendly to mages

You know, can a person without a mage tower be said to be a complete mage?

But now, after more than three years, almost four years since he came to this world, Kong Ming has finally found a node where magic power gathers, and finally has the qualifications to become a complete mage.

Even a steady and reserved person like Kong Ming almost cried with joy.

If before coming to Zhenshou Island, Kong Ming's expectation for Zhenshou Island was only those rare animals and plants, it would be a raw material base at best. So now Kong Ming has made up his mind. From now on, this island will be his home. After his mage tower is built, no one can trick him into leaving the fortress. No, no one can trick him into leaving his mage. tower.

A natural magic node

A real mage tower

The number of subjects that I can do has increased by a lot. My arcanist level will be on a fast track in the future.

Kong Ming felt his heart surge, especially when he walked to the stone mountain.

“This mountain is actually hollow”

Kong Ming felt his heart beating and his hands shaking. Good things like this could happen in pairs. Was he about to turn his fortune around?

Just when Kong Ming was standing in front of the hollow stone mountain, his heart was surging and he couldn't help himself. On another high cliff about two kilometers away from him, a short figure was looking at him with a look of hatred. Looking at him.

"Sure enough, these greedy pirates are here for the treasure that I have been guarding for ten years. It's unforgivable." The figure was trembling with anger. "Follow me, brothers, let's go and scare the shit out of these guys who are coveting our treasure."

A lot of strange animals, encouraged by this black shadow, began to move towards the location of Kong Ming and the others.
