Mercenaries and Adventurers

On the sea, a magic sailboat is sailing.

Obviously there were big waves and strong winds on the sea, but the sailors who were adjusting the sails on the deck of the sailing boat kept their balance strangely. There is a round table standing beside the rudder of the sailing boat. Two middle-aged magicians in short magic robes are slowly sipping drinks in their cups. Their bodies seem to be fixed on the boat. Facing the violent swaying back and forth of the wind and waves, they enjoyed the scenery of the sea calmly as if they didn't feel anything, and the drinks in the teacups did not shake with the wind and waves.

In the captain's room below the rudder, the old archmage Du Ying-Matthews was processing the official documents sent by the Magic Society far away. He sighed, it was obviously a rare long-distance voyage, but he was still bound by a piece of official business, which really made him regret inventing the magic system of cross-space remote information communication that he was often proud of.

The wonderful vacation has also become a little dull.

The old mage opened an official document that had just been sent, and read in a low voice: "'Your Excellency, the chief mage on duty, may your wisdom be wider than the stars, and your achievements higher than the sky. Andy Xiu who follows your footsteps Master Si is here to report to you. "Hehehehe, why did you follow in my footsteps, little Andy, hey, little Andy, my child." The disappearance of the two ancient ruins at the bottom of the icefall valley has been resolved For the specific process of the disappearance, please refer to the incident report I sent last month. After this investigation, our investigation team found two long-lost mages in the magic gathering center in a hidden area of ​​the ruins. When it was discovered, the bodies of the two missing mages had no life information. 'Well, hey, it's like this again, if I guessed correctly, look.' The magic power and soul of the two mages have entered the stage of reconstruction , according to the judgment of the magic technicians in the investigation team, it can be confirmed that the two mages are trying to transform into half-dead magic life. 'Let me say something, they have lost their aggressiveness. Coney, what do you think? "Look At this point, the old mage put aside this disgusting official document.

The old mage's current chief assistant and his 70th personal apprentice, Mage Kony, stopped the magic pen in his hand, thought for a while and replied to his teacher: "The transformation of half-dead magic life is the least difficult. Are you Are you sorry for this, teacher?"

The old mage nodded: "At that age, it's okay to want to live longer. It's human nature. But the change of direction of the undead is not very popular with the public, and it will affect the reputation of the society for a long time. People who don't know magic will not understand With so many magical technologies, they only judge whether things are good or bad based on rumors and the information they have come into contact with."

"Hey, let's talk about it, transforming undead is transforming undead. Why did they only get a half-dead. This is really outrageous. They lost the aggressiveness and aggressiveness of mages."

"Teacher, I understand. Judging from the reports I have handled, in recent years, many mages have carried out low-level life essence transformation. Their essence is that they have lost the aggressiveness of mages and have no sense of future. Courage to climb."

"Well, the society is growing, magic technology is developing, and some mages are very satisfied with their current abilities and status. Power corrupts people's hearts."

Master Kony whispered to his teacher, "Do you want to give them to me?" He nodded his heart.

The old mage leaned back on the chair, thought for a while, and shook his head: "Let's see again, if having more long lifespans can change their thinking concepts, I'm looking forward to it. They are all juniors who have come along the way, and I don't want them to go astray."

After a moment of silence, the old mage continued: "If, I mean if. If they are still so unprogressive. Coney, you go to the Shadow Demon Garden to find your father. He is the third best apprentice I have taught. , has been responsible for that aspect of things. Just contact him and let him come to see me."

Swallowing a mouthful of spit, Master Kony nodded to express his understanding. He was very afraid of his father since he was a child. He was an uneasy man. Except for his mother and teacher, that man had always shown his cold face to others. He really, really didn't want to see his father, and hoped that these mages could regain their strength and not cause him any trouble.

-----------------

The old mage took a sip of his refreshing drink and fed some carefully prepared bird food to the pirate parrot raised in the captain's cabin. He secretly used communication magic to ask the parrot if he was satisfied with the food he had prepared. The parrot answered the old mage with two high-pitched chirps, and then spit out two human swear words. The answer he got made the old mage very happy. The parrot said that he liked the food he prepared very much.

After feeding the parrot, the old mage walked to the window and looked at the waves outside the window of the captain's cabin for a while. Deep scenery. Obviously, the waves outside the window are rough, and the sailboat is also chopping the waves, but the captain's room is smooth and stable, as if the two are no longer in the same space.

Returning to his comfortable chair, the old mage no longer looked at the formal official documents sent by his grandson who ran away from home, but picked up a new roll of parchment that had been magically treated, and waved his fingers to command With the magic pen, he automatically wrote the letter he was about to send.

Your Honorable Master:

Your equally "honorable" friend Du Ying-Matthews here sends greetings to you and me at the same time, and wish each other's enterprising spirit is still vigorously burning at this time.

We should all pay attention to the same problem. With the steady improvement of magic technology, your respective magic societies are also growing stronger under the control of time. But now, we have all encountered some new problems. A large number of middle-level mages in their respective associations have lost their enthusiasm for being magicians, and spend a lot of their time on those luxurious **** and luxury auctions. , the offices of local chapters, the warming beds of lovers. Rather than magic presentation venues, hidden magic secrets, laboratories in various branches, and vast worlds. (I have time to read the magic newspaper published by your society every month)

They are now becoming magical nobles! And they are still carrying out the transformation of low-order life essence to increase lifespan one after another! It's really sad, they don't even dare to forge ahead and try to carry out higher-level transformation of life essence, they are a bunch of cowardly poor people, and I used to have such high expectations of them.

Think about it this way, what have we old people created, the Magic Society should not be the soil for creating these. I had expected it to produce brilliant flowers instead of these rotten carnivorous plants of today. If it wasn't for the fact that the new young people still have enthusiasm for magic these years, I feel relieved, and I will definitely eradicate the flower garden I planted by myself.

My friend, still remember. At the Magic Conference of Hundred Clans 1,100 years ago, you and I had the honor to sit beside His Excellency Lord Sunlight and listen to his teachings.

At that time, His Excellency Lord Sunlight once said: "One day you humans will still encounter the experience of my elf ancestors, and the past will surely reappear."

I have a little understanding of the history of the ancient elves. I heard from a high elf friend of mine that the ancient elves also had a stage of great development of magic technology in ancient times, and their entire civilization process also rose repeatedly at that time. Declining again. The roots of the decline are no different from what we have today.

But these are not ancient times, my friend. Now there are hundreds of clans, and above the high position of magic, there are still those damned gods. Human magic technology has no chance to rise again after decline, and our human magic history will not repeat itself, only once.

Alas, my friend, I am quite moved by all this.

I heard that the ancient elves passed this difficult stage afterwards. It's a pity that my high elf friend went on an expedition. I can't know how the ancient elves at that time found a new way. If you learn that there are high elves who travel there, please ask for me. We need this information very much now support.

After receiving the letter, please go find the high elves as soon as possible.

Remember, this letter should be properly destroyed.

your old friend

--------------------------------

After the old mage wrote the letter, he rolled up the sheepskin roll and put it in a special mailbox.

While applying powerful sealing magic to the letter box, activate the physical security mechanism on the letter box. The two security measures were used together before he handed over the letterbox to his apprentice, asking him to put the letterbox into the interspace teleportation box and activate the interspace telematics communication magic system.

"Teacher, where is this letter sent?" Master Kony asked.

"Send it to the nineteenth, and the other party will know what's going on when they look at it." The old mage picked up the cup and drank the drink.

Seeing his apprentice activate the cross-space teleportation, the old mage turned around and resumed his work. While processing the piled-up official documents, he complained that his rare vacation did not have the atmosphere it should have.

----------

The magic sailboat finally passed through the wind and waves of the ocean, and the sea became calm. At this time, the sails of the sailboat were full of the tailwind blowing south, and they were heading south quickly.

The old mage took care of some society duties and came to the deck for lunch with his precious apprentice.

At this time, the deck of the sailing ship was full of round tables for dining. More than a dozen followers of the mage who followed the old mage on vacation all chose their own dining seats at will. The sailors who were busy on the deck before also found their own seats to prepare meals.

Numerous waiters with blurred faces came out of the cabin one by one, bringing each diner's lunch to them. Every sailor was allocated a piece of magic power crystal freshly taken out from the lower cabin of the magic sailing ship. The sailors opened their chests one after another, took out the magic power crystal that was lacking in magic power from the power room of the chest, and replaced it with the one full of magic power.

The blurred-faced waiter put the energy-deficient magic crystal back on the tray and returned to the lower cabin.

The mages eat more normally. Young-looking mages eat mostly magic-rich animal meat and nourishing magic fruits. Older and more powerful mid-level mages just try some exquisite pastries and exotic drinks.

The old mage is different, the food he needs to eat is not something that magic waiters can handle. He doesn't need to eat much on weekdays, and more of a pastime to eat and drink some food he has never tasted. At this moment, he was preparing to eat a delicacy that he had never eaten before. There was a deep-sea fish on his dinner plate, which was just caught from the deep sea by one of his apprentices. Because the whole fish has lost the high-pressure environment of the deep sea, it is softly lying on the dinner plate at this time. The middle-aged mage who caught the deep-sea fish was discussing with his teacher what the magic part of this unknown deep-sea fish was like, and how to eat the whole fish.

Master Coney carefully cut a large piece of rock lizard's hind leg steak with a knife. He himself doesn't like to eat the hard and tough skin of rock lizard. Every time after eating, his teeth feel a little loose, which makes him feel uncomfortable. But the teacher always stares at him and tells him not to be picky about eating, saying that the outer skin of the rock lizard is full of earth magic power, while the magic power of the muscles inside is greatly reduced.

Gods above, he usually takes multi-line magic power supplements, and he is not short of this little bit of earth magic power. The reason he likes to eat rock lizards is entirely because rock lizards are abundant in his hometown, which is a famous product there, and he grew up eating them.

Master Kony took advantage of the teacher and his seniors to discuss the distribution of magic power in the tissues of the new species of deep-sea fish, and secretly hid the rock lizard skin cut off with a table knife into the inner pocket of his sleeve with his hands. He didn't dare to use magic to hide this thing. After all, the living people on this magic sailboat were all mages, and he was the one with the lowest level of magic among these mages.

Fortunately, Mage Coney discovered that when facing other mages, if you don't use spells, they won't find out what you are doing secretly.

After hiding the skin of the rock lizard, Master Kony added some sauce to the leg meat of the rock lizard. The rich flavor of the sauce made the leg meat of the rock lizard very attractive. He's about to start.

The old mage cast a glance at his precious apprentice, and nodded when he saw that he was eating well. Then he allowed another of his apprentices to start cooking him the new species of deep-sea fish in front of him.

Master Harou, who got the deep-sea fish, cheered up, and took out the cooking seasonings from the magic belt, all of which were precious spices that were worth more than gold in human society. Some mages who had finished their lunch early gathered around to watch Master Harau cook novel food for the archmage.

Master Harlow first lifted the deep-sea fish from the dinner plate with his magic hands, and then arranged a thin magic defense barrier to prevent the blood from splashing around when the fish was cut open.

Then, he twisted an unused table knife with a magical hand, and opened the belly of the deep-sea fish. He carefully operated the magic hand, trying his best to cut open the thin abdominal membrane of the deep-sea fish without hurting the internal organs.

As soon as the belly of the fish was broken open, the internal organs inside slid down. Master Harou released a floating technique in time, allowing the deep-sea fish's internal organs to float under the fish's body. The surrounding mages gave a few applause sparsely, praising his magic connection technology.

Mage Harlow bowed slightly to the surroundings, then manipulated the magic hand to cut open the internal organs of the deep-sea fish with a table knife, and released an ultra-small frozen nova in the air, but this magic was only induced, using the original structure of the frozen nova to bring A small range of low temperature is used to keep the various tissues of the fish fresh.

The old mage rubbed his nose and felt that this apprentice of him really wanted to perform. He did such a gaudy planing of a fish. He could obviously use preservation techniques to keep the various tissues of the fish fresh. He had to show off his skills and use a Pausing spells with a bit of difficulty stops the tiny Frozen Nova in its primordial construction stage.

There was some applause again, a little more than before. Master Harou was encouraged and worked harder.

He used two magic hands again, and each twisted a table knife to cut deep-sea fish. Counting the magic hand holding the fish head, he was already manipulating four magic hands at the same time. At the same time, Master Harau was still maintaining a levitation technique, an ultra-small frozen nova that could not be triggered.

Master Kony was a little stunned, 'Is there any mistake, are his brothers all monsters? '.

The edible flesh of the deep-sea fish has been completely cut off by the table knife, and the two magic hands put down the table knife to catch two complete pieces of fish from the floating technique. These two pieces are the two largest pieces of flesh on this deep-sea fish, and they are crystal clear as a whole. Although the deep-sea fish doesn't look good, its flesh exceeds most other fish. It is estimated that because deep-sea fish do not swim very much, there is a lot of fish fat distributed in its fish meat. The fat and muscle are evenly distributed, and Master Harlow and the old master both think that the taste of this thing must be very good.

So now, Master Harou is going to deal with these two pieces of fish. He clasped his hands together, then opened them, and several ultra-small spells were already brewing in the small space between his hands.

"go!"

With an order, the spells in Master Harlow's hands attacked one by one.

Mage Coney looked carefully with wide eyes, and at the same time observed with magic sense of touch. It turned out that there was a whole row of ultra-small high-speed wind blades, turtles, and he didn't know how to complain. He even forgot to eat.

He felt that if he studied for another twenty years, he would not be able to do what Master Harlow did now, let alone Master Harlow was still maintaining several other spells at this time. This is no longer multitasking, but multitasking.

The ultra-small high-speed wind blades slashed across the two pieces of fish held by the magic hand with a very small distance. Because the high-speed wind blade is too thin and the speed is very fast, after the fish is cut, the position does not move at all. The surrounding applause sounded again, this time more.

Master Harou slowly put the two pieces of fish on the teacher's dinner plate, but there was no change in the two pieces of fish. The old mage tapped the plate lightly with his fingers, adding a low-temperature environment to the plate to ensure the freshness of the fish in the plate.

Master Harlow then used his two free magical hands to remove several liquid seasonings from the seasoning. After mixing thoroughly in the air, evenly drip on the fish in the dinner plate.

The fish meat was moistened by the sauce water, and gradually slipped away from the whole body, turning into pieces of fish meat. It turned out that after the ultra-small high-speed wind blade cut the fish, because the speed was too fast, after the fish was cut, the tissue fluid of the fish temporarily glued the whole fish together. At this time, it was lubricated by the juice, and the pieces of fish slowly slid open again, covering most of the entire plate.

After making a gesture of please, Master Harou signaled that the teacher could use this dish first, and he continued to cook the rest of the deep-sea fish, trying to find a way to bring another hot dish to the teacher.

The old mage took out the tableware that he had been carrying with him all the time. This was a set of mithril tableware. The main body of the tableware was melted and shaped with mithril, and the part that came into contact with food was made of deep crystal. This kind of crystal can be loaded with a whole set of spells without disappearing. The tableware that the old mage gave him was filled with magic about eating.

Of course, there is no need to activate these magics at this time, and he is surrounded by his apprentices or subordinates of the society, all of whom are trustworthy young people.

The old mage inserted a piece of perfectly shaped fish with a dining fork, observed and admired it in front of him, and then put it in his mouth to chew carefully.

"Not bad, not bad, very delicious. Let's all eat some and taste the taste."

Master Harou didn't take it seriously, he knew that the teacher didn't really need to eat food, the main thing to eat was to taste the taste. He cooks for the teacher himself to show off his culinary and magic skills. If everyone is not allowed to taste the wonderful taste of food, how can everyone feel his excellence.

The excellence of magical skills can be seen with the eyes, but the excellence of food must be tasted with the mouth.

Still the teacher understands me!

Mage Kony followed the others and twisted a piece of fish with the hands of the master. The fish was crystal clear, and after being dipped in the seasoning sauce, it had an amber luster as a whole. Master Harlow's ultra-small high-speed wind blade technique cuts each piece of fish very thinly. Fortunately, the overall size of the fish is relatively large, which makes each piece of fish very thin, but the area is still quite large, and it is edible. Still quite a lot.

Loosening the fish meat into his mouth, Master Kony chewed carefully. The cold fish meat and the warm seasoning juice collided with each other in his mouth, and the delicate muscles in the fish meat blended with the fish fat, and slowly mixed together and melted. Seasoning juices with varied flavor levels bring different taste changes to Master Kony. Finally, the fish meat and juices are uniformly mixed together to produce a new taste.

Master Kony felt as if he had become a deep-sea fish in the deep sea, swimming alone in the dark deep sea. Only the bait lamp above his head could emit a faint light to bring him little comfort.

The lonely deep sea and the faint light are the theme of this food. Master Kony opened his eyes and exhaled. Master Harlow's level is really not covered, whether it is magic skills or cooking skills.

Master Kony looked around. Everyone praised Master Harau's cooking skills in various ways. He also quickly expressed his feelings just now. Another delicious dish.

The old mage stroked his beard and looked towards the south.

You can already vaguely see the land there~www.readwn.com~ It is a huge peninsula in the east of the empire. The entire peninsula goes deep into the ocean. Interestingly, the peninsula is surrounded by the ocean, but it rarely rains, resulting in most of the vast peninsula being desert.

The old mage's vacation is to travel there, and he hasn't set foot on the land there yet.

However, there is a mage on this ship who has been there, and the old mage is very clear. After all, the rules learned, the mage must report carefully wherever he travels. This is a basic security method. If the traveling mage is trapped in the local area, after the return date, the society will send elite magic soldiers to investigate and find the missing mage.

Over the years, many mages have been rescued by this security method, which has allowed the society to reduce many unnecessary personnel losses.

"Master Donila, I remember that you have visited the Fara Peninsula we are going to, can you tell all the mages here what you know?" Said the middle-aged mage who was eating.

The handsome middle-aged mage with red hair bowed his body and said to the archmage respectfully: "It should be so, Your Excellency the archmage. Everyone, during the time that Master Harau is cooking deep-sea fish soup, I will give Please tell me what I know about the Farah Peninsula."

All the mages nodded and took their seats. The same is true for Mage Harou. He has taken out the edible part of the deep-sea fish, added clear water to float in the air, and used the fireball technique to heat the water ball in the air, preparing to cook a deep-sea fish soup.

After everyone sat down, Master Donila stood up and told the masters present about his travels to the Fara Peninsula with his own textured voice.
