Chapter 6 The Master of Divination
The information given by Bejeka is huge. After Lance returned to his room, he spent a little more time before he sorted it out into a complete event. ()
"It turns out that the Leonard League did not successfully catch whales in the ocean as they claimed. The two Aiken whales they obtained in the first two times were not captured by themselves, but were robbed from a sea tribe organization. This behavior is quick to make money, but it is bound to last long. The sea tribes are all races that must be reported for flaws. Once they react, things will be troublesome."
And things were going on, just as Lance expected.
The Leonard League tasted enough sweetness in the first two actions, so it took the third action.
However, not every action will be satisfactory, and this time, they have problems.
Beijieka did not say in detail what went wrong, but mentioned that these issues are closely related to the sea clan.
The fleet was trapped somewhere and needed rescue in urgent need of rescue. However, what made Leonard League feel embarrassed was that there was a problem with their intelligence system, which might have been blocked by the sea clans. In short, for the first time in a long time, they received news about the third fleet, which actually originated from the base established by the sea clan betrayer of the Sun Island!
Such a result is interesting.
The senior management of the Leonard League must have conducted a search and heated discussion, and finally made a decision that it must support the fleet.
The information they received was not perfect enough, so they could only come to Sun Island in person to find the person who conveyed the message.
According to Bejeka's guess, the truth of the matter is very likely to be like this: the third fleet was trapped in a place, they were cut off from the outside world by a force, and they were unable to break out, so they could only use all kinds of ways to seek rescue. It just so happened that the sea clan was not a monolith, and there were also many **men, betrayers and exiled people among them.
The fleet entrusted the information to a sea traitor, entrusting him to send information to Star City from Sun Island.
Finally, this message was spread to Star City.
This is why the Leonard League was in a prosperous and nominal fourth ocean whaling operation.
"The whole operation is essentially a lie." This is Bejeka's own words: "But there are still some truths in this lie, that is, the third whaling team of the Leonard League has indeed gained a lot. They should have gotten Aiken's double-headed whales. This is also the news that I wisely decided to get on the ship."
The above is almost the main information Lance got.
There is no doubt that this operation was essentially a rescue operation under the guise of whaling - they were unlikely to really go deep into the ocean, break into the back garden of the sea clan like a rash thief, and hunt Aiken's double-headed whales; but in this operation, they did have the possibility of gaining some of the benefits of the double-headed whales.
As for why they had to put this pretext, Lance also knew very well: I think of a large organization like Leonard's Alliance. I believe there are many wizard organizations with equal or only energy in Star City. If they knew the purpose of this trip, I'm afraid there will be many people who are willing to take advantage of the situation.
It is precisely because this operation is essentially a rescue operation that the Leonard League had to form a group of wizards with great strength, which led to their senior management's compromise. The method of recruiting external wizards was adopted.
...
“The water here is deep enough.”
Lance lay on the sofa, narrowing his eyes slightly.
In fact, he didn't think that Bejeka would be kind enough to tell others the information he had worked hard to inquire about - even if that person was his companion.
The agreement between the three was only verbal, and the relationship was far from that good.
"She must have reserved something. However, the information she gave me, combined with the actions of the two senior leaders of the Leonard League, had no flaws."
Lance understood that this whaling journey might become very complicated.
But since he got on the boat, there was no reason to get off the boat.
According to Bileg's refining method, he must find Aiken Whale Oil, otherwise he will not be able to advance to the second-level high-level. This is a fatal blow to him. If he finds other alternatives, it is likely that the previous magic compression will become useless, and the power after promotion will be greatly weakened.
These are all things that Lance doesn't want to see.
"Let's talk about everything when it's on Sun Island."
He stood up quietly, got himself a glass of water, took out a book and started reading.
...
The days on the boat are boring, but fortunately, as a wizard, what you are best at is dealing with loneliness and boredom.
Lance reads books every day, practices the spells he masters, occasionally exercises his muscles, takes a walk on the deck or practices swordsmanship in the room, etc. Of course, naturally, there is no need for harassment that Beijieka can appear at any time - this has almost become the former's repertoire in entertainment.
It took two days for the three witchcraft ships to successfully pass through Storm Canyon and arrive at the outer sea.
The outer sea is the general term for the oceans that residents of the Sea of Firm Moon except the Sea of Firm Moon and the Roaring Ocean.
Lance has seen the navigation charts mastered by the wizards in Star City, but they have not explored places outside the sea.
But he was different. When he closed his eyes, a puzzle emerged. This puzzle may be broken in some places, but roughly, it is connected to each other and forms the outline of a continent. There is a red line on the outline of this continent, which is connected by all the places Lance has been to.
"If I'm not mistaken, go west along the outer sea and you will reach the Jade Ocean. On the coastline adjacent to the Jade Ocean, there is a small gap, which is Gem Bay."
And Gem Bay is where Lance's father's new territory is located!
He himself did not expect that he left Ferrendor and set out for Black Gold Fort, but unexpectedly he went around and looked at his father's territory through an ocean.
Along the way, he encountered far more setbacks and hardships than he achieved success. But these experiences are valuable experiences, at least he realized that there are still such powerful people in this world.
The strange powers that those people have in their hands are far above themselves.
Whenever he had free time, Lance would often recall the strange information he received when he was traveling through time and space. At first, he thought it was something wrong with the main chip or his own illusion; but after experiencing so many strange events, he gradually began to believe that the information was most likely to be real.
When traveling through time and space, it is very likely that I will briefly establish a signal connection with the company on Earth. However, this process was too short and neither party had time to communicate. It was broken.
If this is true, does that mean that I still have a chance to return to Earth?
After all, if you travel through time and space, Rodriguez might have to do this with the items of the first generation of the Wizard King, but there is a time dragon in his hand!
When Bacon truly awakens the power of the Eternal Time Dragon, he might be able to try to contact the company on Earth again.
"If one day I can return to Earth, what would I do?"
When Lance was thinking about this question, he suddenly found that his brain had become blank.
Because he suddenly realized that he didn't know the answer to this question.
...
The days passed day by day. About ten days later, the wizards were finally told at the dinner that they would arrive at Sun Island almost tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Greg, vice president of Leonard's League, made a statement that after arriving at Sun Island, all external wizards will receive a week's vacation. This week's holiday will be used by the Tongmenghui's own people to handle the previously announced "internal affairs". As compensation, each wizard will receive compensation of 5,000 magic stones.
For the second-level wizard, although the five thousand magic stones are not too large, they are also a considerable amount of money. Tongmenghui's actions are so generous that to a certain extent, it has soothed the anger of external wizards' being concealed some of the news.
During this week, they were free to operate on Sun Island and surrounding islands. Although the sea tribes have always hated humans, Sun Island is absolutely neutral.
This island, built by the sea betrayers, has always only recognized money and power.
It is said that one-third of the permanent residents on the island are ordinary humans, and they are basically wandering wizards from all over the world. Most of the people who can gain a foothold in Sun Island have some skills.
"...So, if you want to provoke the wizards on the island, please be sure to say before you start, this is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with our Leonard League. Thank you."
The above sentence is Mr. Greg's original words.
"Private grudge? Just five thousand magic stones want to get rid of us? Do you still have to separate your relationship?"
Beijieka couldn't help but complain: "If it weren't for these two bad old men, we wouldn't have to come to a strange sea city."
"Why do I think you know a lot about Sun Island when you mentioned Sun Island a few days ago, I swear to find someone who you want to find..."
"Wow! If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot! I must go find that divination master!"
Bejeka suddenly had a bright light in front of her eyes, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Have you ever heard rumors about her? That cool divination master?"
Jamieri and Lance looked at each other, and the latter coughed: "In fact, I only learned about the term Sun Island recently."
"It's really boring." Beijieka muttered, "That master is famous, have you never heard of it? I'm organizing... I've seen her legend in a place before. It is said that this divination master is an orphan of a sea royal family. She has the most powerful divination ability in the world, and she can see your doubts clearly."
"Come on Bejeka." Jamieri seemed uninterested: "We all know that divination is just a branch of witchcraft. If you are interested, then you can also learn it."
"Divining witchcraft is just a knowledge of probability!" Beijieka said dissatisfiedly: "But this divination master - she is different! The divination methods she masters far exceed those things that conventional wizards can do. If you still don't believe it, we can tell you responsibly that this master can predict everything accurately - not a vague probability, but the real situation!"
"Really?" Jamieri became a little interested.
Lance frowned and said, "This is illogical. We all know that there are infinite possibilities in the future, and divination and witchcraft can only allow us to see one or several of the most likely ones. No one can fully predict what will happen in the future."
"This is where she is charming," Bejeka said happily: "Doesn't you think it's cool?"
"That's what it's decided. When we arrive at Sun Island tomorrow, the three of us will go to find the divination master together!"
...
At noon the next day, as the vice president of the Tongmenghui claimed, the fleet arrived at Sun Island smoothly.
Rather than saying this is an island, it is a sea fortress made of countless reefs and seaweed.
The entire island is surrounded by cold stones and hard seaweed, and its shape is very regular round. It is said that this is related to the culture of the sea people, because it grows in the deep sea where there is no sunlight. Most sea people think that the sun is the nemesis of the sea people; and these sea people betrayers built their city into the shape of the sun, and even the name is simply called Sun Island.
A large number of islands are scattered around the main island of Sun Island. These small islands form ring-shaped areas, surrounding the main island.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Madame Windsor slowly sailed into Pier 7 of Westport, Sun Island. After everything was done, Beggica pulled Lance and Jamieri off the ship in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, a group of three people stepped into the city of the sea clan.
Looking at the strange sea buildings around, smelling the salty sea breeze in the air, an exotic style comes to your face.
The entire island is a city, and there is no wall. The winding paths crisscross the entire island, circling up and down. Some residential buildings are built beside the road with door numbers written on it.
When Lance went to the island, it was a very lively season. There were people coming and going on the streets, with the lowest-level fishmen passing by with forks, and there were also powerful Nagas and sea elves walking on it calmly. Of course, there were also many humans in the large number of sea people.
"The Master of Divination is very famous on Sun Island, and her residence is definitely very easy to find."
Bejeka paused for a moment, glanced at a bald human wizard, Lance, noticed that this guy had just finished the long bargaining process with a staff owner, and finally bought the staff he wanted at a price that suited his wishes. He looked like a stingy guy.
The purple-haired girl gathered her hair and suddenly said to the two of them: "You guys wait for me."
After saying that, she walked towards the bald wizard. (To be continued...)
