Chapter 50 The Current Situation of the Land of Wizards
Lin En looked around at the crew members who were waiting for his instructions, and spoke freely.
"Since this is the case, please continue to work hard. We will not be considered safe until we leave this sea area completely..."
Under Lin En's command, the sailors present temporarily calmed down their excitement and returned to their posts, but unlike before, facing the vast sea of mist, there was no longer any worry in their hearts.
"I really didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to escape the [Eye of Death] twice." Lauder said quite emotionally.
"Last time, was it because of the help of the great wizard?" Lin En asked curiously. He had guessed when Lauder mentioned the frozen maelstrom before, and the other party must have faced such a danger more than once. territory.
Lauder nodded, and then told the experience of the year with a little emotion.
That was more than ten years ago. At that time, he was still an ordinary pirate, living a life of killing and plundering at sea every day.
Because their range of activities is close to the sea of mist, they don't have to worry about the pursuit of the imperial fleet. At worst, they hide in the mist.
Until one time, the pirate group he was in encountered a big ship coming out of the sea of mist...
At first, they thought it was a cargo ship that strayed into the sea of mist, and luckily found the return route. Relying on the large number of people, they took the other party as the target of robbery, but they didn't expect to bump into the iron plate .
At that time, it was not Hellam who did it, but only the two official wizards accompanying him, but even so, their entire pirate group of hundreds of people was still beaten and wiped out, and Lauder was also blown up by the aftermath of a fireball. right leg.
If the other party didn't want to leave someone for questioning, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
But it was precisely through this opportunity that he was able to completely change his destiny and become the spokesperson of the great wizard Herram in Harbor Town...
Hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but glanced at Lauder, wondering what the other party had done to get rid of his status as a prisoner and gain the favor of the great wizard.
He has seen the integrity of this old fox before, so he can't say that he doesn't have it at all... That is also very limited. If it were him, he would never trust such a person so much.
Did you get caught for something?
Though thinking this way, Lynn didn't interrupt Lauder's words.
"In short, after arranging the affairs of Harbor Town, I had the honor to accompany Master Herram to the Land of Wizards, and it was when I was crossing the sea that I encountered a maelstrom." Lauder said with nostalgia.
Of course, the [Eye of Death] maelstrom that time was not as terrifying as this time, the coverage area was only about one kilometer, and Herram's response was also very simple, that is to freeze the entire maelstrom!
Even so, this was enough to surprise Lynn. It seemed that the great wizard possessed far more power than he had imagined.
"By the way, the end point of our voyage is the territory of Master Herram - Iyeta Harbor!" Lauder added.
Lin En nodded, it seems that he will have to deal with this great wizard soon.
However, he still has no idea how to deal with Herram's accusation...
While the two were chatting, the sailing warship under their feet had completely left the scope of the maelstrom, and the sailors on board cheered loudly.
Although he suffered heavy losses when rushing through the Eye of Death, Lauder was still very bold once, letting go of eating and drinking, and let everyone celebrate tonight!
However, life at sea is a bit boring. The so-called celebration is just sitting together, holding a barrel of beer and drinking tons of tons of beer, each bragging about the heroic deeds of the year, and fishing for sea fish by the way.
Probably their luck began to improve, and nothing bad happened in the next few days. The whole sea was white mist, and if they hadn't been following the pointer of the compass, Lynn would have thought that they had never left the place.
This is also the horror of the sea of mist. If a great wizard like Herram can't find his way, even if he has a way to deal with the maelstrom, he will be completely lost in this sea area.
Taking advantage of the few days of crossing the sea, Lin En has not been idle. In addition to the usual practice of magic, he will ask Jonny every day for information about the wizard's land, and soon he has a general idea of the wizard's holy land. learn.
First of all, the attitude towards the outside world is roughly divided into two factions.
One is the self-proclaimed conservatives. This is also the choice of most wizards in the wizarding land. They completely ignore the outside world and only concentrate on researching magic in their respective territories. They even feel that outside the wizarding land, those who are controlled by the Holy See are So stupid.
What the wizards themselves pursue is to analyze the mysteries of things through magic and explore the truth of the world, instead of fighting for power and seizing territory like those so-called kings and nobles, so the study of magic is the same everywhere.
Anyway, there are extremely rich reserves of magic mines in the wizarding land, coupled with the blockade of the sea of mist, the Holy See can't get in, and it is not easy for them to get out. It is better to concentrate on developing various magic theories, and wait for the future. Kill the enemy directly.
The second is the progressive faction like the Great Wizard Helram who advocates demonstrating the power of witchcraft to the outside world. They believe that although the Land of Wizards is a super-large island, many scarce materials cannot be self-sufficient, and the population is too small and needs to be obtained from the outside world. Constantly absorb new blood to supplement it.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious. The more contact with the outside world, the more dangerous it is. The power accumulated in the Land of Wizards alone is not enough to compete with the Holy See. Once the position is completely exposed, the Land of Wizards may lead to disaster. This is the fundamental reason why most wizards are more conservative!
It is worth mentioning that their mentor, Kolu, is a member of the Progressive Faction, belonging to the school created by the great wizard Herram...
"It means that it is very difficult to spread the news between the wizard land and the outside world, right?" Lynn asked in a deep voice.
"Probably so." Jonny nodded. In the past four years, she has only been to the wizard's land once, and most of her understanding of it comes from Kolu's daily narration.
"If that's the case..." Lynn looked at the porthole thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see the wizarding land standing deep in the sea through the white mist.
He has already thought of how to deal with the accusation of the great wizard.
