I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

In this era of rapid advancement in ship technology and the continuous opening up of new routes, there is also a breeding ground for pirates.

They plundered merchant ships across the sea, and countries that were constantly attacking each other indirectly contributed to this phenomenon for some unspeakable reasons - privateering licenses.

The so-called privateering license is essentially equivalent to obtaining a bankrupt version of the maritime army specifically used to attack enemy merchants, and it is free.

As for the situation Chen Zhou encountered now, it is also the norm on the sea.

In this era, sailing out to sea inevitably had to deal with pirates.

In most cases, just increasing the speed to create distance or sacrificing some goods can save money and avoid disaster, but this time the situation seems to be a bit special.

The pirates chasing them seemed to be from a gang with a very bad reputation, and the ship they were using was also a new type of ship that had increased speed through magical power.

A fierce battle is inevitable. Either you have to sacrifice your life to repel the pirates, or you fail to resist and are massacred.

Fortunately, Todak's merchant ships came from the dwarf kingdom. Even if those dwarves never had to deal with the sea for several lifetimes, the ships they built were still very reliable and theoretically had no chance of sinking.

"pirate?"

After hearing the warning from the watchman on the deck, Chen Zhou, who was experiencing various exotic customs for the first time, was very interested and planned to go up and watch the battle between the Eight Kings' caravan and the pirates.

However, as soon as he turned around, the old mage next to him suddenly grabbed him tightly.

"Why did you come up to join in the fun?"

Setan frowned and dissuaded: "We are non-combat-oriented spell casters. We just need to protect these high-end ingredients."

Spellcasters are a scarce resource.

Based on the average situation of the human race, there can be several warriors among one hundred people, one mage among one thousand people, and there may not be even one warlock among ten thousand people.

In this case, the caster itself means wealth, and the caster with auxiliary and production capabilities is an important person who will be treated as a guest by all forces.

As long as the pirates don't have trouble with money, they won't have trouble with spellcasters.

What mages want is stability, and warlocks should cherish their lives. What are you doing with your life when you only earn dozens of gold coins a month?

"Don't worry, I won't participate in the battle, I just want to watch the excitement."

Chen Zhou was unmoved. After traveling through time, his curiosity grew stronger.

And he finally saw that Setan, the old mage, really cherished his life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to survive on the sea for so long.

But you don’t necessarily go up there just to risk your life with pirates.

He didn't even kill a fish. He released small fish weighing less than thirty kilograms on the spot, and he still killed people?

This is no joke.

Just look at the excitement.jpg

After that, he ignored the old mage's dissuasion and rushed out of the cargo hold in a few steps.

Looking at the tiger man's leaving figure, Setan, who stayed in the warehouse, turned dark.

It's really strange, what are you talking to him for so much... Tsk, Warlock!

Just take a look. Is it so easy for you to see fatal things?

Sometimes just one glance can mean something is wrong!

Forget it, if the orcs are so patient and watch the fun, they probably won't die.

Anyway, he has neither prepared any combat spells nor knows how to fight. No one would want him to get involved in this kind of death...

……

"Tom? You're here just in time! Go pick out a handy weapon and follow me!"

Not long after leaving the house, Chen Zhou bumped into Dara, the dwarf who was said to be the prince exiled by his clan.

At this moment, he was carrying a heavy shield and a dwarf battle ax, intending to go on the deck to prepare for the possible battle that would follow.

Chen Zhou declared without delay: "I don't know how to fight."

This unprecedented sentence made the dwarf stagger, and he looked back at the other party in disbelief, his eyes full of doubts.

Orcs who can't fight?

And he is also a tiger man who is extremely rare among orcs and is famous for his bravery?

If you don't know how to fight, then the dwarf won't know how to drink!

Sensing the suspicious look in the other person's eyes, Chen Zhou could only shrug and said: "Believe it or not, I have never killed a fish in my life. I usually just practice spells most of the time, and the spells I master are all non-lethal. "

The implication is that if you let me fight, you will kill me.

I'm just a 21-pound kitten from the st century who only wants to eat and not do anything.jpg

It is worth mentioning that after Chen Zhou understood the role of the life plan, none of the spells he chose for himself were actually used in combat.

"Light Technique": For lighting.

"Spark": Make a fire.

"Mage's Hands": After using the toilet, replace your fingers with... oh toilet paper.

"Magic Tricks": Various little features to explore.

"Water Making": Create water or some ice.

"Bubble Technique": If you fall into the water, you won't drown.

What stands out is that he was an honest man who could barely live a tolerable life in the Middle Ages.

This kind of Dharma life atmosphere is so strong that even the fifty-year-old old bastard in the cargo hold... the old mage is ashamed. That is why he advised Chen Zhou not to join in the fun.

"What a hell!" The dwarf felt that he had simply discovered a new species.

But in the end, Chen Zhou honestly picked up a heavy steel shield when he passed by the weapons warehouse. If he didn't know how to wear armor, other people's armor wouldn't be incompatible... But in fact, there was no one suitable for his size. armor.

Then the dwarf prince took him to the deck.

The sea breeze blows on the face and the terns go away. Between the refreshing blue sea and blue sky, a large wooden boat with black smoke constantly emitting from its head is expecting the Eight Kings caravan to attack.

"It's over, it's over, the Black Sail Pirates have a new type of magic ship, and life on the sea will not be peaceful in the future!"

As soon as he arrived on the deck, Chen Zhou heard the busy sailors and porters talking about what preparations they were making.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the large and small pirate ships emitting black smoke, about ten kilometers away from the fleet.

Is this a magic ship?

Isn't this a steamship?

Even merchants haven’t popularized steam freighters and pirates have steam speedboats. This world is too magical!

Oh, this is a magical world.

"That is a steam magic ship that was put into the battlefield by various countries at the end of the last war. It uses magic to drive the webbed wheels on the side of the ship to provide power."

Seeing confusion flashing in the eyes of the tiger man who came to the side to help him, the leader of the caravan, Todak, while commanding the crew, explained with a serious face: "The Black Sail Pirates accidentally captured one of Carlos's magic ships at the end of the war, and then learned The technology in it has also created some inferior versions..."

Although not as good as warships, pirates don't need warship-sized ships - their targets are always only merchant ships.

Listening to Todak's explanation, Chen Zhou, who didn't know that the other party had already counted him in the combat force, was thoughtful. The pirate's imitation version sounded like a steamship from the late 18th century.

So what time period have you traveled to?
