Chapter 170: Embarking on the Journey to Zhangxiang

Chapter 170: Returning Home

In Fengwan City, a ship named "Flying Ant" is anchored at the dock.

"Mei Li, you go back too."

"Well, back to Tidal Island."

Conley and Ed came as agreed and met Mei Li who also showed up. After a few words of greeting, they realized that they all went back to their hometown.

After waiting for a while, people arrived one after another, a total of eight people, all of whom were from their batch of people who joined the academy. At the beginning, their batch of people from Xiangmai Principality had a total of 19 people, and 6 of them died, leaving only 5 people who did not come.

Several people always felt that something was strange.

"Everyone, this is the Flying Ant, which is about to head to Tidal Island. You may board now." A middle-aged man standing on the deck greeted them. His name was 'Kaludo', and he was the captain of the ship's escort.

"Let's go. We can't keep the wizard waiting too long." Conley said to everyone, and he was the first to step on the pedal and walk up.

On a long sea voyage like this, if there were no wizards on board, they could easily be buried in the vast ocean and die quietly. Apprentices would never dare to board such a ship, and the academy would not allow such a thing to happen, because it was difficult to determine whether the apprentice was dead or defected.

"How about we go visit that wizard?" Conley suggested. It was undoubtedly a blessing that the other party allowed them to go together.

"What if we go like this and disturb that gentleman?" This time, Ed did not agree with his opinion.

"Captain Kaludo, it's time to set sail."

"Okay, Master Fengmoth."

At this time, a strange winged snake flew out from the second floor and gave an order below. It immediately received a response from the captain of the escort, and the ship slowly sailed away from the port.

"Come up, Wizard Ivan wants to see you."

When a few people were preparing to find a room to stay, they heard the winged snake shouting at them again.

Hearing this, a huge wave of emotion rose in the hearts of several people. They looked at each other and could see the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes. Was it that Ivan?
When they arrived at the second floor, they saw a familiar figure standing there.

"I asked someone to notify you. I think after being away from home for so long, everyone might want to go back." Ivan smiled and looked at the dazed people, and said leisurely.

"Greetings, Wizard Ivan." It turned out to be the person they imagined. After Conley and others reacted, they hurriedly saluted politely.

The identity of a wizard is different from that of an apprentice, and rules are rules. After joining the Mona Ant Hut, they can especially appreciate the existence of this status difference.

"No need to be polite, everyone just stay on the boat. We will reach Tidal Island in half a month. If there are any minor problems along the way, please help Captain Kaludo to eliminate the hidden dangers."

"I will follow your instructions."

Returning to the first floor deck, they thought that the people standing there were those who enrolled in the same school and came from the same place. They were filled with emotion and a sense of pride. After all, the other party was only a third-class talent.

If the other person can become a wizard, there's no reason why I can't.

The Flying Ant rode the wind and waves and soon left Fengwan City at the end of its sight.

The second floor, as the key to the ship's protection, is of course the wizard's residence.

Every ship that can sail long distances is equipped with a rune magic array, and the control core is on the second floor. The array on the Flying Ant is called the "Blue Sea Wind Array", which can make full use of water and wind energy particles for either protection or acceleration.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Ivan was observing the core of the formation. Seeing Feng Mo approaching with a look of wanting to say something but hesitating, he said casually.

"Well, you can ask me to help you eliminate the hidden dangers on the ship. I'm very powerful now, so why bother looking for that group of skinny apprentices?" Feng Moth hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"It's up to you."

Ivan thought it was something else, but it turned out that this guy was just too energetic, so he just let it be.

"Wizard Ivan, I have something to say as well." As the Wind Moth happily ran away, the Fragrance Butterfly spoke up. Seeing Ivan wave his hand, it continued:

"According to the principle of equivalence, I think we should charge them a certain amount of toll. We can't let them ride the boat for free. How about giving it to me?"

"Forget it. We are riding the ship for free. We can't use the school benefits to earn magic stones. We don't lack magic stones."

Ivan shook his head. There was actually a tradition for his return home this time. It was a tradition left over from a long time ago. Most of the wizards at that time came from Tidal Island.

During the period of mental fatigue of the newly-trained wizards, the academy approved a year-long vacation, and the sea ship used to return home was provided free of charge. However, the vacation time has been gradually shortened to half a year.

Otherwise, if it wasn't for business, according to the hundred-year contract signed earlier, it wouldn't be easy for him to leave the academy and go to Tidal Island for such a long time.

"Ok."

Xiangdie nodded sullenly.

Ever since the two Swift Wood Silkworms mutated into their current appearance, Ivan has had two more magical pets.

If they are divided by personality, one is civil and the other is martial. It may be because they have just been born with spiritual intelligence that they are a little too active in doing things, like rookies who have just entered the workplace.

Ivan's eyes were still on the pillar in front of him. On the top of the pillar was a crystal ball with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. There were runes engraved on the outside of the crystal ball, and a large amount of rough energy that had not been tempered was accumulated inside.

This is a crystal ball that can monitor and store energy. It is of medium quality and has a simple and rough function. It is the core of the Blue Sea Wind Formation. "The sailing ship is really a masterpiece of nature."

After observing for a while, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his enchantment skills had improved greatly compared to when he was an apprentice.

Some things tend to be universal once you learn one thing. After his mental strength rose to a higher level, the completion rate of the enchanting lines naturally reached 100%, and he was able to fully explain the effect of three-dimensional runes with two-dimensional lines.

It is written in the intermediate enchantment knowledge that if you can master 100% completion of the thread text, you can carve three-dimensional rune bundles. If you can carve 6 or more three-dimensional rune bundles onto an item, you can create an intermediate enchanted item.

Advanced enchanted items require a complete rune array to be engraved on the item, just like the ship in front of you.

It is worth mentioning that low-level magic items only require three or four rune bundles, intermediate-level items require six or more, and high-level items require twelve or more three-dimensional rune bundles. Only more than twelve three-dimensional rune bundles can form a complete rune witch formation.

The enchanted items carried by wizards are much smaller than ships. It is not an easy task to carve rune magic arrays onto the items. It requires very high materials and even higher requirements for the enchanter.

Ivan is now at the level of being able to make intermediate magical items, but that doesn't stop him from studying the rune magic array on the ship. He has time anyway.

A few days passed in a flash, and the Flying Ant was still sailing fast on the sea.

Sailing on the sea is not always smooth. On this day, accompanied by a roar from the whale that was carrying the ship, the ship suddenly shook violently and almost flipped over.

The Flying Ant just happened to run into a chameleon squid that was lurking and hunting. Its huge tentacles immediately wrapped around a passing whale from above, causing the whale to become frightened and angry, and struggle involuntarily.

The Flying Ant also began to shake.

Ivan discovered the enemy's location from the crystal ball. It was a giant octopus monster that was as big as a whale. He activated the 'Blue Sea Wind Array' immediately to add a layer of protection for the Flying Ant.

After reaching the railing on the second floor, he stretched out his palm towards the sea surface on the side of the ship.

He still used his usual 'Black Magic Hand'. A large transparent hand with black light appeared on the sea surface. The hand reached under the sea water and accurately grabbed the head of the giant octopus monster.

The octopus suddenly felt its body stiffen and it lost all strength. The tentacles that were wrapped around the brute whale loosened.

With a powerful swing of the big hand, the huge body of the octopus monster was pulled out of the sea and then fell towards the sea surface.

"It was a close call. It turned out to be such a large sea beast."

"What's the danger? With Wizard Ivan here, no sea monster can stir up any storm."

"Yes, yes. The power of wizards is far different from ours."

This scene was clearly seen by the apprentices below. Such a huge sea beast was easily controlled, which made them once again sigh at the power of a formal wizard.

The next second, their attention was drawn to another figure.

"You big fool, don't move, don't move. Let go of that octopus monster and let me, the moth, clean it up." The Wind Moth rushed forward eagerly and shouted at the Brute Whale that was about to take revenge.

The brute whale had no choice but to stop moving forward.

Soon, another huge winged snake emerged from the sea and fought with the giant octopus monster, causing layers of waves on the sea surface.

Judging from its size, Wind Moth is like a child facing an adult in front of the Octopus Monster. However, affected by the previous attack, the Octopus Monster is still dizzy.

"This barbarian can obviously control the wind and cast poison, but he just relies on his body to fight. How rude." Looking at the scene on the sea, Xiangdie, who was floating beside Ivan, kept shaking her head, and the disgust in her words was obvious.

Seeing that the wind moth had the upper hand, it stopped thinking about going forward to help.

Of course, Ivan could also see that the Wind Moth had a clear advantage, and he began to think about the spell he had just cast.

“It still needs to be improved.”

A few days ago, in addition to watching the two swift wood silkworms metamorphose, he was also organizing his own spells.

After learning the first-level Mage's Hand, he used it to deduce the first-level Black Magic Hand. With the experience in studying the Black Magic Wind Array, he saw results in just a few days. The rest was just adjustments to the details.

In addition to the Hand of Black Magic, he also has other spells to organize, including the Thorn Jungle, Insect Shadow Eyes, Powerful Immobilization, etc., which have to be optimized from level zero to level one, and he also needs to further develop the application of spells such as the Chains of the Summer God, the Flower and Tree Shield, and the Insect Silence.

He also had the idea of ​​constructing a new spell. On the basis of the zero-level spell 'Green Smoke', he could separate the 'wind' of the Black Wind Magic Array and combine it with the flower phantom toxin of the meditation method 'Breath of Flowers' and other things, and he could completely research out a powerful first-level spell.

In the past six months since he returned home, he still has a lot of things to do.

Two or three minutes later, the wind moth returned victoriously, and as it approached, a burst of energy with green light fell on it.

"No, no, there's no way I could get hurt." Feng Moth said to Xiangdie carelessly, with a look of pride that he couldn't hide. "Wizard Ivan, there's something good."

A bead, a heart.

This move shows great anatomical attainments.

Ivan took its spoils without hesitation and handed over a large bottle of green mulberry water. Although the appearance of the scent butterflies and wind moths had changed greatly, they retained some of their silkworm nature, and green mulberry water was still their favorite food.
