Chapter 348 Exploration (Part 2)

Romon handled the matter of space well. Back to the pier.

At this time, I saw several soldiers waiting on the pier with some shop servants.

"Master Xi Weisen, we went to the market this time and purchased five boxes of bread and butter, five barrels of fruit wine, ten barrels of fresh water, as well as bacon and sausages, all of which cost fifty gold coins!" a soldier reported. with.

Xi Weisen and several other mages were standing on the shore at this time, and in front of them were many purchased wooden barrels and bamboo baskets filled with food and water.

The two warriors who followed the guide were carefully reporting the purchase situation to Mage Xi Weisen.

Although they are also three-pole fighters who are considered good by ordinary people, compared with the fifth-level mage Xi Weisen, they are like grass, trees, mud and rocks facing the clouds, and their status is so low that they can only obey orders.

Moreover, in the mage system, of course, it is emphasized that the mage is respected, and the warrior is always a vassal.

"Well, you guys did a good job." Looking at the food and fresh water purchased, Xi Weisen nodded in satisfaction.

The cost of purchasing these items was a little less than expected, and there was still a lot of money left over, which made Xi Weisen very satisfied. In a good mood, he took out a few more silver coins and gave them to the guide.

Xi Weisen turned around again and said, "I heard that you bought ten barrels of ale and some barbecue?"

"Yes. The wine won't go bad for a long time. In an emergency, it can be used as fresh water, so I bought some more. As for the barbecue, it's not worth mentioning." Romon said very frankly.

Xi Weisen was taken aback, this cost dozens of gold coins, this tone is really rich and powerful!

The guide thanked him and left, and all kinds of food and fresh water were loaded onto the boat one after another.

At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and everyone decided to rest for one night, and then continue to go to sea the next morning.

In the evening, they ate on the shore, which happened to coincide with the annual Sea God Festival.

The Poseidon Festival is an event to worship the God of the Sea. It is usually held on the shores of islands and island countries once a year.

The god of the sea, Filmer, is a god of the sea who controls the sea.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone decided to stay. It is a very unlucky behavior to go to sea before offering sacrifices to the Sea God.

In the activities of offering sacrifices to Poseidon, people will hold bonfire parties and invite magicians to perform on the shore. They will also pour prepared livestock, food, and fine wine into the sea and offer them to Poseidon.

After a few days of driving, everyone gathered on the shore after a meal after resting. Watch the sacrificial performance. At this time, the performers on the stage are members of the magic troupe invited by the manager of this place. There are men and women, but at this time, it is two men who are performing.

"Bang!" The colorful rays of light sprayed out from the hands of the middle-aged magician who was performing on the stage, and scattered all over the ground. Then, an illusory image of a beautiful woman, with a moving body made up of scattered light spots, climbed up from the stage.

"Ah! She's alive! She's alive! My God! Could it be that this is the magic that transforms people into living beings!" Immediately, the onlookers screamed.

"Don't be stupid, it's just magic!" Beside the man, an audience member who had watched a magic show quickly retorted in a disdainful tone.

After all, seeing such an illusory beauty with beautiful silhouette dancing in front of him still made the blood of the men at the scene boil with excitement.

Some people even had this idea in their hearts: It would be great if she was real...

Immediately afterwards, another younger magician shook the cloth in his hand. Immediately, a rain of flowers fell from the sky. Some floated with the wind, and some fell directly. The ground is colorful and very beautiful. And that illusory beauty stepped on the flowers on the ground with her toes, spinning and dancing.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the crowd of onlookers. People are shouting for this charming magic. It is difficult for people to see the power of magic, and usually they can only rely on these magic to imagine and entertain.

Magic, in this world, has a more vigorous and better development than on Earth. It may be that the magic here has some shadow of magic, which is a bit like the legendary blindfold on Earth.

Some people who don't know the inside story often think that there must be some connection between magicians and magicians. In fact, there are indeed some similarities between the two professions, for example, they can release some things that ordinary people cannot release. , but in essence, these two professions are quite different.

A magician is a noble profession. Anyone who practices this kind of profession has an innate cultivation physique. Whether it is a mage apprentice who has just started to practice, or a quasi-noble who has cultivated to level five or above, they are all respected people .

However, professionals like magicians can only live by entertaining the public and relying on the rewards of others. It's equivalent to level 0 magic. Even if an advanced magician can use magic to the limit, it is only equivalent to level 1-2. Of course, there is a title for this, called illusionist!

Among the crowd, Romon and the others were not conspicuous. Although their clothes looked like they were not ordinary people, this is an island port, and the guests who appeared here were either businessmen or ship guests of some status, so they wore professional attire On the contrary, these few people are not so prominent in the crowd.

"Small skills." Looking at the performance of the two magicians on the stage, a mage said with some disdain.

In front of them, a few audience members turned their heads in dissatisfaction when they heard his words, as if they wanted to laugh at something, but when they saw that the speaker turned out to be a mage, they immediately shut their mouths obediently. head back. Continue watching the show.

It's not a good thing to offend a mage, especially in such an unfamiliar place.

Master Xi Weisen did not speak. While enjoying the performance, he also had a look of disdain on his face. The expressions of the other mages watching the performance also appeared quite arrogant.

Romon saw clearly beside them, and sighed softly. This is the difference between professions.

Looking at the performance stage and watching the performances of the magicians, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to this world.

that time. He also watched a magic trick once, and was amazed by the gorgeous performance.

But now, when he casts a spell at will, its momentum is stronger than these magic tricks. Thinking of this, when he watched the magic show again, his eyes became more complicated.

The real highlight of the sacrificial activity finally appeared after the magic show.

Dozens of people came to the beach carrying pigs' heads, ox's heads, sheep's heads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, herbs, wine, clay puppets and other objects.

From a place high above the sea, these things were thrown down one by one. Strange to say, the sea surface, which was calm just now, fluctuated immediately after these things were thrown in.

From the slight fluctuations at the beginning, it gradually expanded to waves as high as two people. People who are some distance away from the coastline have been watching the sacrificial activities, and seeing this situation, the awe on their faces is getting stronger and stronger.

There was also a cautious expression on Romon's face. When he was on Earth, he had never seen any gods and ghosts before, but after coming to this world, things he had never seen before made him one after another. I met.

At this time, he is no longer an atheist, but has accepted the existence of theism, but, does the god here still need such a secular sacrifice?

After thinking about it, Romon opened his spiritual eyes and read on.

Among the ripples, the bottom of the water gradually became transparent. He didn't see the so-called gods, but only saw a large number of murlocs accepting sacrifices.

That's right, how could a god need these sacrifices?

Romon was thoughtful, but these murlocs must have a relationship with Sea God. Otherwise, it would be impossible to accept the sacrifice on behalf of the Sea God.

"Okay, the sacrifice is complete, we can leave tomorrow." At this moment, Xi Weisen beside him said with a sigh of relief.

Romon looked over again, isn't it? Those who performed the sacrifice, seeing that the sacrifice had been accepted, had already returned with a relaxed face, and their expressions were very happy.

The waves that swallowed those things have also disappeared at this time, and the sea surface has returned to calm. Sea God accepted their sacrifice, which shows that this year's sacrifice has been successful.

The people gradually dispersed, and Romon and the others also returned to the boat and took a rest.

Early the next morning, before full light, their ship left the island port and headed for their destination.

According to the captain, there are still three days away from their destination. They had a full meal on board, and their spirits were restored to their peak. Because they were bored in the cabin some time ago, so, next The rest of the time, besides rest, is to relax on the deck.

Three days later, the destination island appeared in everyone's sight.

The island does not look small, it also has dozens of square kilometers, unlike the previous port where there are boats parked around, on the contrary, it is very quiet, and the whole island is green, it looks like a paradise.

"Everyone, be careful. There are pirates stationed here. According to the information we have obtained, there are about 150 people in number." Master Xi Weisen reminded.

"Oh, I see."

"Do not worry!"

Everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Except for some ordinary crew members who showed panic expressions, even Romon's expression seemed relaxed.

Although pirates are a little troublesome, they are not too difficult for these mages and Romon. The real test is the inexplicable danger in the ruins.

If it's just to deal with pirates, in fact, Romon alone is enough.

"After the boat docks, leave two people behind to protect the boat, and the others follow me into the island." The mage representative Xi Weisen began to assign tasks when the boat was about to dock. The two people he said meant leaving the mage behind. .

With the captain and ordinary people alone, if anything happens, the ship will be in danger.

Leaving two low-level mages can make them have no worries. Because he was the main person in charge, once his words came out, even if the two mages were a little unhappy, they could only follow orders.

"Although there are not many pirates on the island, everyone can't take it lightly, understand?" I have to say that Xi Weisen was quite cautious when carrying out his mission.

Seeing that everyone agreed, he took a few high-ranking mages and Romon, and a group of people walked towards the island.

The scenery on this island is good, and the flowers and plants are growing very strong.

From the lord's point of view, Romon looked carefully.

I found that this island has few hills, is long from east to west, and narrow from north to south.

The terrain of the entire island is flat. Although it is not an excellent port, the territory on the island can be developed.

Looking at the jungles and lakes in the plain, Romon calculated and realized that a large area of ​​paddy fields could be fully developed. Of course, islands are islands after all. On the mudflats near the sea, there are small crabs everywhere, almost covering the beach in blackness. When people walk on the beach, the little crabs are frightened and flee into the powder-free caves on the beach. The speed is amazing!

There is another feature on the beach, that is, some kind of plants similar to the reeds on the earth, forming forests and patches, Romon did not hesitate to call them reeds, they are suitable for growing on the beach, and have reed belts that are several kilometers wide .

This is really the raw material for papermaking.

Unfortunately, this is not my territory.

Having said that, Romon is looking forward to the two islands close to his own territory. Now they are also occupied by pirates. If he occupies them himself, he can turn them into his own territory.

If it can be developed in the same way, it will really be an island paradise.

However, except for Romon, people are more concerned about the ruins, so they don't have much interest in watching it for the time being.

After walking for a while, a whistle suddenly sounded ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people in different clothes rushed out from both sides. They all held sharp weapons in their hands. A burly man at the head shouted loudly: "Who are you, stop!"

Romon didn't expect that some pirates would dare to come out to rob them, so he immediately stopped in surprise, and everyone else looked surprised too—not scared, but surprised.

It wasn't until the two teams stood face to face that the pirates on the opposite side could clearly see what the group of people were wearing.

"Captain..." A clever pirate was standing beside the big man, and couldn't help but twitch.

"I said, you guys are obedient... what are you doing? I'm talking to them!" The leading captain turned his face a little dissatisfied, and reprimanded him.

"Captain, they are wearing mage robes..." The clever pirate finally spoke his words.

Mage robe? It wasn't until this time that the pirates saw clearly who they were going to rob. These people were not fat sheep who happened to come to the island, but a group of mages who couldn't afford to mess with them!

My God, how could there be a legendary mage on this humble island! And it's still a group! Discovering this situation, the pirates were dumbfounded. (!)
