I'm playing Druid at Hogwarts

After leaving the Port of Heroes, the Mermaid sailed on the Atlantic Ocean for three days. Because of the sufficient supplies, everyone returned to their luxurious life.

Next, the Mermaid will sail towards the port of Hamilton, Bermuda.

Hamilton is very close to the United States and far away from the United Kingdom, but it has become an autonomous territory of the United Kingdom and a relatively prosperous tourist city.

However, Allen will disembark before that, and Gibbs will change the route to bring Allen close to the location of the Fountain of Youth.

Allen has been making preparations. The Fountain of Youth Island is very likely to be dangerous.

The Book of Merlin's defense chapter mentions a one-time defensive item. As long as it is crushed, a shield will spread outward, which can push the enemy away.

It just so happens that there are seven materials in Allen's space that you can try.

Allen locked the door to the room, spread the materials on the floor, and divided them into seven equal parts.

A crystal ball, 100 ml of basilisk blood (can be replaced by the blood of higher creatures), and various magic plants.

First, the basilisk blood and magic plants are refined into viscous blood ink, and then the blood ink is used to carve densely packed magic three-dimensional structures on the outside of the crystal ball, and then it is left in the sun for three days. When the blood ink disappears, it is considered a success.

It is somewhat similar to the spell-protecting glasses, but it is much more difficult. Allen can only say that he will give it a try. It is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not.

Refining blood ink is not difficult. With Allen's magic potion level, it is very easy to make.

However, Allen was a little confused when using the magic pattern pen to draw magic three-dimensional figures on the smooth crystal ball. It was not only smooth, but also had curvature, and the feel was difficult to control. After a few strokes, the first crystal ball was scrapped.

Blood ink will contaminate the crystal ball, so the crystal ball cannot be reused.

Allen could only start over. There were still six chances, and the error tolerance rate was very low. Allen took out the elixir and took a sip, hoping that luck would bring him success.

……

Gibbs was controlling the rudder in the wheelhouse when a sailor came in and said nervously, "Captain, there is a small boat following us. It seems to be coming from the Port of Heroes."

"Could it be the same route?"

The sailor shook his head: "With the size of that ship, it can only sail in the Atlantic Ocean for ten days at most, and it will be over if it encounters a storm. I think it is more like a pirate's reconnaissance ship."

Gibbs' face darkened. On the sea, apart from bad weather, the most dangerous thing was pirates.

Pirates occasionally appear in the area ahead, but they are just small fights. With the size of the Mermaid and hundreds of sailors, the pirates do not dare to fight head-on.

Now that a pirate reconnaissance ship appears behind them, it means that the pirates intend to attack them. If they are not sure, the pirates cannot send out a reconnaissance ship.

Gibbs calmly ordered: "Order all sailors to go to the warehouse to collect weapons and prepare for battle. Without my order, you cannot relax your vigilance and let the first mate lead the sailors on night patrols."

"understand!"

Gibbs lit the cigar and took a deep breath. The passengers on the Mermaid were either rich or wealthy. If something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

The sailor's anomaly attracted the attention of some passengers. With the wisdom of these people, they naturally understood that the Mermaid might be in danger.

They calmly received enough food, then took their families back to their rooms and locked them in, planning not to leave the house for two days.

The sailors paid no attention to the passengers' movements, and the four teams watched the sea everywhere.After the sun sets, the all-round lights are turned on, illuminating the surrounding 2-3 nautical miles brightly.

Allen did not notice the danger and just worked hard, hoping to refine a defensive crystal ball.

Late at night, the sailors were still patrolling, and the leader still wore a whistle and a flare gun on his waist.

"Captain, is the captain suspicious? None of the pirates have shown up now." A young sailor asked.

The sailor captain said with a cold face: "I trust the captain's judgment. I would rather lose a few days of sleep than be attacked by pirates."

"Three years ago, the Mermaid encountered pirates. It took more than a dozen brothers to die to scare the pirates away. I don't want to be one of the victims, so be careful."

"Yes, Captain!"

At this moment, a sailor exclaimed; "Captain, an unknown ship has been spotted on the right side and is approaching us."

The captain blew his whistle without hesitation and fired his flare gun, lighting up the sky with red flares.

The resting sailor suddenly woke up, picked up the gun next to him and ran towards the deck.

Half of the teams in other positions were sent to the right to support, and the remaining sailors raised their guns to the sea.

Pirates are very cunning, and they will often divert the enemy away from the mountain and double-team them. All sailors dare not relax their vigilance.

The sailor captain on the right fired a shot at the unknown ship as a warning. Seeing that the ship still did not change direction, all the sailors fired together.

The intensive gunfire woke up the sleeping guests, who panicked, and the timid guests let out ear-piercing screams.

At this moment Captain Gibbs's voice sounded from the loudspeaker.

"The Mermaid encountered pirates. All guests must lock their doors and do not come out. Please listen to my voice and I will notify everyone if the danger is over."

Gibbs said this three times in a row, then ordered the helmsman next to him to control the Mermaid, then took the pistol and walked towards the deck.

Allen naturally heard Gibbs's reminder, but now is a critical moment. The crystal ball is short of completing the last part, and this is the seventh material. If it fails, there will be no chance.

……

Captain Gibbs came to the right, and a small boat was very close to the Mermaid.

"What's the situation now?"

The sailor captain said quickly; "There is something strange about this ship. There seems to be no one there, and there is no sign of resistance."

Gibbs' expression changed slightly and he shouted quickly: "Give me the bazooka, hurry up."

A sailor handed Gibbs the rocket launcher on his back. Each team of sailors carried a rocket launcher and ten cannonballs to prevent pirates from launching attacks with unmanned ships.

Gibbs skillfully loaded the shells and aimed the bazooka at the ship. The distance was not enough, so Gibbs waited quietly.

This is a very ordinary ocean-going fishing boat. It is moving very fast and is getting closer and closer to the Mermaid.

Feeling that the distance was about the same, Gibbs fired the cannonball without hesitation, bang!The shell accurately hit the offshore fishing boat.

The huge explosion made the ears ring, and the fire shot into the sky, dyeing the Mermaid red.

"It is indeed a self-destructing ship. Let the sailors in other locations be alert and not let the ship get closer." Gibbs' face was solemn.

The self-destructing ship is a weapon used by pirates to deal with large ships. The pirates' target should be the passengers on the ship. By blowing up the Mermaid and sinking it, they can easily obtain some targets.

Even if the Mermaid is not sunk, blowing a big hole will make the sailors confused and lose part of their combat effectiveness.

Just then, whistles sounded from three other directions and red flares appeared in the sky.

The pirates are coming!
