My Magic Age
Chapter 919 21. Going out to sea
The Liger tribe gave her courage.
The Harpy tribe's curiosity about everything.
So when Senior Dylan asked us: Who wants to be the first to try to pass through this portal, she looked at me with a begging face, hoping that I would agree.
I walked to her side, took off her magic apprentice robe, let her wings naturally fold behind her, and then patted her fair face. She always had a special attachment to me, and said to her: "Be smart when you get to the portal."
Her happy look was very much like little Ella, and she couldn't wait to rush to the one-way portal. At the moment she passed through the portal, I followed Deborah and crossed the portal.
The moment I stepped out of the portal, I felt my feet fall, and my body fell down involuntarily. I was so scared that I quickly hugged Deborah's soft waist. Deborah walked in front of me. The moment she stepped out of the portal, she had already spread her wings and flapped her wings to barely float in the air.
Unexpectedly, I stepped out of the portal from behind and hugged her at the moment of falling.
She couldn't bear the weight of both of us. She kept flapping her wings and struggling not to fall, but she still fell down little by little.
It was just a moment of buffer period that gave me time to observe the situation around me.
Although I couldn't see too far away under the cover of the night fog, I could still see clearly within five meters around.
The mottled walls were covered with purple moss, and the sound of the sea tide came from the dark place under my feet. I crossed the portal and came to the outside of the city wall of the island city. I was worried that the light would attract the guards on the city wall, so I didn't cast the "twilight illumination" magic.
I held Deborah and slowly fell to the black reef under the city wall. The waves kept hitting the reef, and the splashing water wet the hem of my magic robe. Deborah was a little panicked and seemed to be a little afraid of the sea water.
Looking up at the exit of Senior Dylan's portal, this position is a little awkward, just floating outside the city wall, more than 20 meters away from the reef below. As long as you take a step out of the portal, if you can't control your falling posture, you may fall into the sea.
The worst thing is that if you hit the reef head-on during the fall, it will be really miserable.
Deborah wanted to fly up to avoid the waves that kept hitting the reef, but her body was heavy and her wings were not strong enough. She could only fly a short distance like a pheasant and then land on the reef again.
And I had to hurry up to cast ice magic and build a platform and steps made of ice outside the city wall. Since I became a seventh-level magician, my ability to control water elements has become much stronger than before. These ice platforms condensed with water elements are like protruding rocks on the city wall.
Then, sections of ice steps appeared under the platform one after another.
The third person to come out of the one-way portal was Kalancuo. As soon as she stepped out of the portal, she immediately squatted on the ice steps and looked around for me. However, when she felt that the entire stone steps were made of ice, she was not as anxious as before. After she walked down the ice steps for dozens of steps, she saw me standing on the reef, and the worry on her face disappeared.
Then, Kalancuo began to carefully look at the surrounding environment, and finally concluded that this was indeed the edge of the abandoned reef port pier.
Then, Becky, Helena, Yingli, Katarina, Minotaur Luka, etc. came out of the portal. Soon everyone came out of the one-way portal one after another.
I stood on the reef at the edge of the coastline and said to Senior Dylan: "Senior, your portal scroll is very useful!"
The sound of waves hitting the reef can completely cover all sounds at night, so I don’t worry that the chat will be heard by the guards on the city wall dozens of meters away.
Senior Dylan shook his head with a wry smile in the pitch-black night, and then warned me: "If you don't have some applied knowledge of space science, remember not to use this teleportation scroll. The Green Empire is still in the stage of blind men touching elephants in the field of space magic, and there is no way to make a magic scroll with stable performance."
Just when I showed disappointment on my face, he patted my shoulder again and said to me: "But if you want to learn some magic knowledge of space science from me, it is not difficult to master the use of these teleportation scrolls."
When Joan also walked out of the teleportation portal and walked along the ice steps to the reef with a surprised look, our chat was temporarily terminated.
With Joan's guidance, we walked along the stone wall at the edge of the city wall and moved towards the abandoned pier with difficulty. The sea tide was beating the reef under our feet. The night fog was filled with slippery moss and tough shells everywhere.
But fortunately, there was a guide in our team who was very familiar with the surroundings and didn't let us walk too many wish roads.
On a night like this, there were only a few dilapidated fishing boats stranded on the rocky beach on the abandoned dock. The hulls of those fishing boats had become rotten, and only a few tattered threads were left on the canvas. The dock had been in disrepair for a long time, and large holes had appeared on the wooden boards. Not only did they make a "crunching" sound when you stepped on them, but you could also sink into them at any time.
Fortunately, our group of people were quite agile, and we had no trouble along the way.
But the atmosphere in the team became a little solemn. We were really unwilling to leave Galapagos City in such a mess.
…
It was a dark ship, especially in such a dark night, with thick fog, it was difficult to find its existence unless we walked close.
Standing on the dock, looking at this nearly 40-meter-long three-masted sailing ship, standing quietly on the edge of the dock, some sailors wearing wet sea beast leather armor were rushing to transport various supplies to the sailing ship. It seemed that the most important thing for them was the supplies that could sustain their lives at sea, including fresh water and some food.
The captain with a lame leg, wearing a black sea beast leather coat, stood on the dock arrogantly, directing the sailors to carry supplies.
When he saw us appearing from the other side of the dock, an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
"Welcome all the magicians to the Belan. It is my honor to meet you here." The lame captain bowed slightly to Noah and me, and said, "My name is Bronte. It is my honor to meet you all on such a beautiful night."
"Can your ship take us to Dunai Island?" I asked Bronte.
He smiled and nodded.
Perhaps because he lived on the sea for many years, he even had patches of seaweed-like ringworm on his face. He had a strong fishy smell all over his body. One of his legs was a wooden stick, and he didn't know how to fix it on his thigh. When he walked, the wooden stick tapped the ground one by one. Although his body twisted and looked very awkward, his movements were very agile, and it was obvious that he had a strong physique.
He asked the first mate to stare at the sailors at the dock, and then personally led us onto his ship.
After boarding the Beilan, I deeply felt its hugeness. Although it was moored at the dock, it was slowly shaking under the surging waves. This sailboat floating on the sea is very different from those airships. If you stay on this ship for a long time, you will get seasick.
The biggest difference between sailboats and airships on the sea is the control of transportation costs.
A large floating airship needs more than eight sets of floating devices to suspend the huge airship in the air, and then use the boosters composed of wind arrays to slowly enter the established wind layer, and then use the thrust of the wind layer to achieve the effect of sailing. The speed of the airship is much faster than that of the sailboat, but the magic crystals burned by an airship every day are also a huge expense.
A large three-masted sailing ship only needs a strong enough sail and a sufficient number of sailors to allow the sailboat to sail smoothly on the sea, without consuming expensive magic crystals or expensive maintenance costs.
The Belan looked a bit shabby, at least on the outside. The part of the hull that was soaked in seawater had been completely occupied by oysters. I did see signs of cleaning, but now, another layer of oysters had grown on its hull.
After boarding the Belan, I found that it was not as bad as it looked on the surface. At least its three masts were still quite new, and at least the tung oil paint on them had not fallen off. However, the brand-new masts could not prove that it was not an old ship, because its side had been worn away without any edges.
The bow of the ship had a huge copper ram, and huge catapults and crossbows were installed on the left and right sides of the ship, but these machines were covered with rainproof sea beast leather, just like batches of goods were loaded on the deck.
Bronte drove some sailors to the bottom of the ship and vacated a limited number of rooms for us. In addition to the smell of salted fish, these rooms also smelled of the sailors' sweat. Bronte had absolute say on this ship, and the sailors dared not complain about what he said.
Minotaur Luka could only temporarily live in the warehouse on the deck, as he was too tall.
I didn't expect Joan to come on board with us. It seemed that she was also ready to complete this trip with us.
Senior Dylan stood at the bow, looking worriedly at the direction of the teleportation magic circle of the Galapagos City Military Port, and sighed lightly.
I didn't expect that we would be involved in a long-planned coup of the Mensa family. However, it was obvious that Marquis Boris's coup was also affected by us. I guess the biggest influence should be the incident of Senior Dylan's inspection of the teleportation gate this time. Perhaps Marquis Boris hoped that this teleportation magic circle would be damaged naturally, so he had never maintained the teleportation gate here.
Noah seemed to be worried. The many problems brought about by the plane war had already made the Mensa family exhausted. Marquis Boris launched a coup at this time, which undoubtedly made the situation of the Mensa family even worse.
We had just packed up on the boat when we heard the rumbling of horse hooves from Galapagos City. It was probably at this time that Marquis Boris thought of sending out all the knights of the guard camp to block the docks of Galapagos City.
Maybe he had thought of it a long time ago, but just forgot that there was an abandoned dock here.
At this time, he realized that he should send a team of knights to patrol.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the city, Captain Bronte and his sailors were obviously more nervous than us. They had to stop the transportation of the supplies, summoned all the sailors back to the ship, and quickly let the coolies on the ship They pushed the huge winch and rolled up the large anchor that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The sailors quickly ran back to the oar rooms on both sides of the ship. There were four sailors in each oar room. They worked together to extend a huge oar more than twenty meters long outside the hull.
From a distance, the entire sailboat looks like a centipede with countless legs. As the first mate's whistle sounds, these sailors row the huge oars neatly.
I didn't expect that the ship was sailing in such a way before the sail was set.
The ship slowly sailed out of the abandoned port pier in the night fog. Captain Blondie stood in the captain's cabin with a solemn face and personally controlled the rudder.
When the sailboat sailed about a hundred meters out of the harbor, the knights from the Galapagos city had already arrived at the dock. They stood on the dock on horseback and could only watch us leave quietly.
Noah and I breathed a sigh of relief, but found that both Joan and Jacques had heavy faces, and the sailors on the ship also became irritable. The first mate even stood on the big collision angle of the ship's bow and kept talking to him. Blondie yelled in the captain's cabin and directed the sailboat to avoid the rocks standing in the sea.
Originally, I released my magic perception in order to know clearly what the knights on the pier were talking about at the moment, and whether they would be furious on the pier at this moment.
But I didn't expect this. When my magic perception spread to all directions, I suddenly felt that there was a huge reef hidden in the night fog not far ahead. Under the cover of the night fog, this ship The sailboat crashed straight over there.
I was shocked to find that the first mate standing on the bow of the ship had not seen the reef hidden under the night fog at all. The ship was slowly crashing towards the reef.
So, at this time, I quickly ran from the deck to the captain's cabin at the stern of the ship.
Simply because the entire sailboat was rowed by oars, the speed was like a snail. Panting, I ran to the door of the captain's cabin and shouted: "There is a reef fifty meters directly in front. Turn the helm quickly!"
Captain Blondie also looked at me in surprise. The steering wheel in his hand was already spinning rapidly like a top...
