Chapter 64 The Journey
After the three of them finalized their plan, the alchemy airship continued to fly towards Kosai Island at full speed according to its original route.
After declining Bennett's "academic salon", Lucian went directly back to the cabin where he lived, preparing to continue his studies on alchemy while on the airship.
"Teacher Lucian!" At this moment, Carly came over and told Lucian that several second-level wizard apprentices were discussing the formation of a self-protection team.
"Self-protection?" Lucian couldn't help but feel a little funny after hearing this. But seeing Carly's expression of "making a great contribution" at this time, he smiled but said nothing more.
Carly looked at the perfunctory look of Teacher Lucian at this time, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. She felt that the development of things seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
"Carly, you have to understand one thing." Lucian looked at Carly with a serious expression, "In fact, their mentors should also know the little thoughts of those second-level wizard apprentices, and these little tricks they do in private are also It’s just that Bennett and Lilia don’t want to pursue it yet.”
"Just like how several of us third-level wizard apprentices were driven to carry out this mission, how could the official wizards of the academy committee not know the dissatisfaction in the hearts of us third-level wizard apprentices." Lucian let out a breath, " But they don’t care, after all, as long as we can do something for them, that’s enough.”
"Then...where are those second-level wizard apprentices?" Carly had a guess in her mind and was trembling a little.
"For their mentor, they are still useful now." Lucian shook his head and said no more.
Carly's face turned a little pale.
"Don't think so much." Lucian glanced at Carly, "You have to know that this mission has a very high risk of death for us third-level wizard apprentices. And for you weak wizards For apprentices, the possibility of survival is extremely low.”
"Instead of caring about the fate of others, it is better to make good use of this time to improve your own strength." Lucian whispered, making Carly tremble.
"I understand, Tutor Lucian." Carly's eyes gradually became decisive, and then she took out a notebook from her backpack and began to check some things she had not figured out about witchcraft.
Lucian looked at Carly who was attentive at this time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Then, he took out a pen and paper from the space ring, wrote and drew on the papyrus, and began to design the witchcraft tools he would use later.
Between the hours of learning and teaching, time on the road flies by.
Bang--
The airship landed on the ground. Although it had a shock-absorbing design, the entire cabin still shook violently the moment it made contact with the ground.
"Sigh." Lucian looked at the design drawing that was stained by ink, and he had no choice but to destroy the scrapped draft.
In the past few days, he had drawn no less than ten different concept drawings, but Lucian felt that each design drawing did not fit him particularly well.
After all, compared to other wizards, Lucian does not seem to have any specialization in witchcraft. This will undoubtedly leave a lot of difficulties in the design of Lucian's witchcraft tools. After all, other wizards who specialize in a certain aspect do not need to think too much when designing witchcraft tools. The witchcraft tools they need only need to meet the needs of "taking advantage of strengths" or "compensating for weaknesses". .
For example, for wizards who are good at thunder-attribute witchcraft, the witchcraft tools they need are either gain-type witchcraft tools that can increase the power of their thunder-attribute witchcraft, or they can crack some thunder-type witchcraft such as earth walls and ice shields. Better defense against witchcraft.
But when it comes to Lucian, there are indeed some difficulties. Because it seems that ordinary types of witchcraft tools are not 100% suitable for Lucian.
For example, some of the zero-level witchcraft tools recorded in the alchemy handbook are suitable for unleashing the power of torch fire, and some can improve the effect of shadow stealth. But on an overall level, it could not bring a qualitative improvement to Lucian, nor could it bring out the best effect of the space crystal.
"If that doesn't work, just follow the drawings in the alchemy handbook to refine [Kux's Magic Mirror]. Although this witchcraft tool is not 100% compatible with me, its ability to absorb or even deflect damage is still Very practical." After Lu Xi packed up his things, he walked out of the cabin.
"Is this actually a gathering place for wizards? If you just pass by here, you might think this is an abandoned wasteland." After Lucian stepped off the airship, he glanced at the surrounding environment.
At this time, Bennett and Lilia also walked off the airship with their students and entourage. After the three nodded to each other, they divided into two teams according to the previously discussed plan and went to Kosai Island in batches to meet up.
Lucian and Lilia, who were smaller in number, were naturally assigned to one side. They would go to Kosai Island as adventurers. When they passed a nearby small town, they also spent a few silver coins to hire a guide, and Externally, it was stated that they were a team planning to go to Kosai Island to collect moonlight moss.
"You are a group of adventurers who came relatively early this year." The hired guide was named Martin. He was a young man who seemed to be very talkative. He was walking in front of the team and seemed to be familiar with the details of the track. Very knowledgeable about the situation.
"Normally speaking, adventurers will only start to go to Kosai Island in June and July. After all, you also know that apart from making money easier on Kosai Island, life on the island is not as happy as outside."
"And recently, something seems to have happened on Kosai Island. I heard from some of my friends that several resource collection points there are now temporarily closed..."
Lucian and Lilia looked at each other, and then Lilia spoke softly. "Martin, do you know some specifics? We also heard on the way that something happened on Kosai Island..."
"Of course I am Martin Luther Sadolai, the man who must become the king of adventurers in the future!" Perhaps because it was very honorable to be questioned by a beauty like Lilia, Martin seemed a little excited when he spoke at this time. He even Lilia interrupted her before she could finish.
Lilia looked at Martin, who was dancing a little at this time, with a hint of hidden murderous intent in his eyes.
Lucian frowned slightly.
He didn't know why he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart since he left that human town, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Carly, be careful." Lucian said, but he quietly used exploratory witchcraft.
Because he felt that the strong uneasiness in his heart seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
