Chapter 550 The Students’ Adventure


Chapter 550 The Adventures of Students

Mid-November of the solar calendar 4420.

It was just before nine o'clock in the morning on an ordinary Friday.

The snow is a bit heavy today and the temperature is cold.

In the hazy vision, Qidi Port was shrouded in a dreamy white mist. At the dock, the outlines of several giant cargo ships could be vaguely seen. Some workers in thick clothes were operating machines and transporting large containers on the shore. .

The sound of shouting, the clang of metal colliding, and the dull sound of chain turning were intertwined and gradually spread.

You can hear it even from a distance.

At the other end of the Qidi Port Plank Road, a small fishing boat is getting ready to go. The handsome blond man Feliciano jumped from the shore to the deck and distributed the sandwiches he just bought to his companions.

"Thank you."

Polaris, who was wearing a blue dress, took it with a smile.

He opened the paper package, took a bite of the breakfast stuffed with juicy bacon, and turned to look at the stern of the boat. There was a man standing there, with long brown curly hair fluttering in the wind, and a long dark brown windbreaker revealing the other person's figure. With a tall figure, you can still vaguely see the high collar of the aristocratic costume.

"When do we leave?"

Polaris looked away and asked briefly.

Feliciano shrugged, gestured to wait a moment, then walked through the narrow fishing boat aisle and came to his friend Raphael.

Before he spoke, the other party said without looking back:

"It seems that this fog won't clear for a while. Let's set off in twenty minutes."

Feliciano was startled for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Well, I'll listen to you. After all, we don't have much experience in sailing..."

He returned again and informed the seniors of his departure time. On a sunny day, Lucy and Ahsoka gathered together, holding on to the railing and looking at the scenery of Qidi Harbor and the plank road.

"Isn't it bad that we didn't say hello to the teacher?"

Ahsoka said with some apprehension.

"The professor is too busy. He has been studying in the room these days. Didn't Senior Polaris also warn us not to disturb us at will..."

Feliciano stood aside and comforted.

"Don't worry, we left a letter explaining the reason for our trip. Maybe the professor won't be finished by the time we come back."

"I have never had the experience of going on an adventure at sea, so I hope I won't hold you back..."

Ahsoka still looked nervous, wrapping her two little hands together.

Lucy, who was beside her, held her shoulders and whispered comfort:

"Me too, Ahsoka, but this is a rare opportunity... We will learn extraordinary knowledge from the teacher together. Sooner or later we will have to learn to face danger alone, not to mention that with seniors and Mr. Raphael here, there is no need to overdo it. Nervous.”

"Well..."

Ahsoka's mood eased, and after nodding, she also leaned into Lucy's arms.

At this time, Qingtian Xiaoyu on the side was eating a hot sandwich and asked inarticulately:

"Feliciano, Ahsoka, you have just been promoted to [Scholar], and you should have understood how to copy basic scrolls. How have you mastered it these days?"

"Quite skilled, senior."

Feliciano smiled confidently.

As he spoke, he also took out several scrolls from his backpack as proof.

"This is the 'Acid Technique', this is the 'Lighting Technique', and this is the 'White Snake Invasion Technique'... Professor Jack asked Senior Polaris to pass on the knowledge to me. I have studied hard. If I encounter danger, I can help you too!”

"I have copied all the basic spells, but I am not very proficient in the 'White Snake Invasion Technique' developed by the professor, and I have failed to copy it several times..."

Ahsoka said sheepishly.

"You guys are already great!"

Qingtian Xiaoyu touched Ahsoka's head. Even though the person was about the same height as herself, she looked somewhat funny.

After a few people chatted for a while.

Raphael, who had a feminine appearance, slowly came over and nodded to several people.

"Guys, I will be responsible for driving the ship, but we will need to rely on you to explore the sea later."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Polaris held the blue hat and said softly.

"The fog is too heavy, and the searchlight of this small fishing boat may not work. I will use divination to calibrate the direction and predict the danger."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Polaris."

Raphael saluted him solemnly.

As the two strongest people in the sailing team, they had a certain tacit understanding, and out of respect for His Majesty Jack Spate, Raphael also maintained a friendly attitude toward the five students from beginning to end.

Not long after.

Woo!

A whistle sounded.

The pilot standing guard at the dock waved a small flag to the small fishing boat. Feliciano on the deck responded with a thumbs up, then turned around and ran back to the cabin.

The small fishing boat then slowly sailed out of the port and headed towards the foggy sea.

"It's so cold outside. Why am I so afraid of the cold despite being an extraordinary person..."

As soon as Feliciano came in, he took a cup of hot tea from Lucy and complained while drinking it.

"Because the sequence of each pathway contains different powers, [scholars] are more inclined to develop memory and brain, and have stronger sensitivity and affinity for magical knowledge."

Raphael stood up straight in front of the rudder, tilted his head and chuckled.

"You don't think that after becoming a [Scholar], you can directly gain a strong body like a [Butcher] and a [Believer], right?"

"If this is the case, I am afraid that it was not the Cuisul Empire that unified the continent, but the Byron Kingdom..."

Polaris on the side chuckled.

"It's not like there are no strong mages. His Majesty Honorino is a typical example."

Feliciano pointed to the tall bronze statue looming out of the porthole in the heavy fog and said.

"It's a pity that a god as great as him will also fall..."

"It's just a rumor. The life and death of gods are not something we mortals can speculate on... Maybe when you become a magic saint one day, you can tell me the answer, Feliciano."

Raphael said jokingly.

Perhaps thinking of his ancestors, he had some insights.

In the mysterious field, there is very little information about Sid Mitchell, the "Old Guest", but most of them indicate that this earth angel has long since fallen. But in Raphael's dream, he could clearly sense the aura of his ancestor. The other person was not dead at all, but was just not known to mortals in this world.

Thinking of this, Raphael's heart became heavier again.

He eagerly hopes to find that special extraordinary material through this voyage, so that he can gain a period of peace and no longer have to worry about falling asleep every day.

"By the way, how much do you know about the Sea of ​​Mist?"

Feliciano sat on the cold and hard stool, feeling a little bored, so he couldn't help but look for a topic.

Neither Lucy nor Ahsoka spoke. Although they have entered the mysterious realm, their knowledge of this world is still in the exploratory stage, and they only have a partial understanding of many things.

"I only know that in the limited historical records, no one has successfully left the Sea of ​​Mist and came back alive."

Raphael said calmly.

"The Sea of ​​Mist surrounds the Sun Continent. No one knows whether there are other human civilizations and new worlds outside... Of course, I believe that the omnipotent gods know the answer, but they have never told us."


"It is rumored that there is a continent beyond the far east of the continent, on the distant misty sea? The troops of the Trisur Empire have arrived there..."

Qingtian Xiaoyu said doubtfully.

Unexpectedly, Raphael just shook his head.

"It's not a continent, it can only be regarded as an archipelago. The people of Trisul call it the 'Misty Island'. What is on it may only be known to the imperial soldiers who participated in the 'Overseas Landing War'... But most of them are dead. , the survivors also remained silent, and the Sun Royal Family deliberately blocked the news, which shows that it is not a good place.”

He turned the rudder, looked back at the curious crowd, and then shared some of his knowledge:

"Have you ever heard of the 'Misty Island Drifting Theory'? It's about the origin of the mysterious islands... It is said that before the establishment of the Trisur Empire, in the early era, there were no Misty Islands at all, and then one day they were discovered. , like it suddenly appeared, like a miracle.”

Raphael raised his hand and made a gesture, tapping three times in front of his face.

"And the Misty Islands are not only found in the extreme east, but also in the extreme north of the Sun Continent, as well as in the extreme west... If viewed from a high altitude, they are like a triangular arc, surrounding the continent, so there is history Experts and geologists said that they were most likely once part of the continent, but broke apart and drifted away for some reason."

"It turns out there is such a saying. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Raphael Mitchell."

Sunny and Xiaoyu quickly thanked him.

She and Polaris looked at each other and understood the value of such rare information. Maybe one day in the future, it could become the key to unlocking a hidden mission!

"You're welcome, it's just a rumor anyway, and there is no substantial evidence to prove the accuracy of the 'drift theory'."

Raphael waved his hand.

The small fishing boat had already left the harbor, swaying gently on the foggy sea, surrounded by endless white mist and extremely low visibility.

About four hours later.

The fog gradually became thinner, and not far in front of the small fishing boat, the shadow of a small island could be vaguely seen.

Polaris, who was standing by the porthole, suddenly frowned. He seemed to be confirming something. He raised his hand to turn over a deck of playing cards and flicked them quickly in his hand.

Hua Hua...

Finally, he held three red cards, turned to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"There are people on the small desert island in front of us. They should be survivors of the shipwreck."

After hearing this, everyone stood up and ran to the porthole to look out. Sure enough, they could see some broken boards and boxes floating on the sea. A faint wisp of smoke rose from the shore of the island, which must have been a signal for help deliberately created by the man.

"Should we go over there and take a look?"

Feliciano turned around, glanced at everyone, and asked aloud.

"Maybe we can rescue you by the way."

Raphael opened his mouth, ready to refuse.

He has been in the mysterious field for many years and knows that there are many things that cannot be done with kindness, so he may have fallen into a trap because of this. Moreover, the purpose of this trip was just to explore the ruins and find extraordinary materials. He didn't want to care about anything else.

But he was not alone on this trip, and he still needed to respect the opinions of others, so Raphael calmly asked:

"Everyone, what are your opinions?"

"I think we should focus on Mr. Raphael's matter. If things go well, we can rescue him when we return."

Lucy said.

"I think we should save people first."

Ahsoka said carefully.

She felt in her heart that how could an ordinary person bear such a cold weather... If she went too late, that person might freeze to death.

Polaris and Qingtian Xiaoyu didn't care much, but they both triggered the rescue mission. The rest of the rewards were deducted, but the experience points were also generous.

The two of them followed Jack to the Byron Kingdom and had not practiced leveling for more than half a month. They were also a little anxious about this, so they did not intend to let go of this experience point.

"Now that we have met him, let's rescue him. Maybe we can get some information from him, which will also facilitate our next actions."

Polaris thought for a moment and said.

"Okay."

Raphael sighed secretly when he saw this, and finally nodded helplessly. Turning the rudder, the small fishing boat slowly headed towards the island. (End of chapter)
