Chapter 409 Surprising Discovery
It was raining continuously and dark clouds were mottled,
Tyrrell Town.
Zoven Burns was riding on a flame-maned horse. His hair was completely wet with rain and sweat and stuck to his face, making him look somewhat embarrassed.
It's just that he usually cares about his image, but he can't care about that at the moment.
But behind him, Ur arrived late.
"Mr. Zuo Wen, what's wrong?"
He was surprised why Zuo Wen Burns stopped suddenly, even though he was already in the town.
Zo Wen Burns sat on the flame-maned horse, looking in the direction of the pier, thought for a while, and said: "Go to the town hall first."
Turns out he was thinking about the sequence of actions.
The two of them walked quickly along the fairly wide road, and at the end, the town hall came into view.
Zoven Burns jumped off the horse without the need to tie the reins. The flame-maned horse's outstanding wisdom and spirituality will be waiting by the side.
He walked non-stop towards the gate of the town hall.
A staff member stopped him and wanted to ask him where he was coming from. Zuo Wen Burns just said with a straight face, "Sea Sentinel Mage came to provide disaster relief." He ignored the other party's explanation and went straight into the town hall.
Ur followed closely behind.
As a result, as soon as he walked in, Zuo Wen Burns noticed that the entire town hall was busy, and there were many people who looked like businessmen coming in and out.
Seeing this situation, he frowned subconsciously. Somehow, he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
With this bad premonition, Zuo Wen Burns came to the mayor's office.
The other party has not closed the door and is arranging his head in the office and writing something.
He just walked in directly.
Mayor Tyrell, who was in front of the desk, heard the footsteps and said without raising his head: "I told you before the natural disaster, you must unconditionally respond to the official ship borrowing order. However, if your ship is damaged during the disaster relief process, we will provide compensation afterwards."
With the heavy impatience evident in Mayor Tyrell's words,
Then, he found that after he finished speaking, the footsteps suddenly paused, neither leaving nor moving forward.
Mayor Tyrell raised his head from another place and immediately saw the uniform of the Sea Sentinel Mage on Zuo Wen Burns.
His expression changed and he stood up quickly, "I don't know if it's Mr. Sea Sentinel Mage who's visiting, I'm sorry."
Zo Wen Burns waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to be too polite, "The situation is urgent, unnecessary politeness is unnecessary... What does the ship borrowing order mean? You have already solicited ships from merchants for disaster relief?"
"That's right," Mayor Tyrell nodded, "tens of thousands of victims in Yaxi Town upstream are trapped on the highlands, lacking clothing and food, and need to be relocated urgently."
"This is a situation that another mage from your sea sentry discovered first, and asked me to recruit ships as soon as possible to form a fleet for disaster relief." He boasted without leaving any trace.
Zuo Wen Burns raised his eyebrows, there is someone faster than him?
How is this possible?
"Sea Sentinel, another mage?" he asked.
"Yes," Mayor Tyrell nodded. "Your sea sentry's actions and efficiency are really high. Today is the third day of fish landing. He rushed to our town of Tyrell yesterday and asked two residents who happened to be on the shore to come back and inform me to form a fleet as soon as possible."
"He himself continued to swim upstream, surveyed the disaster situation upstream, found the victims of Yaxi Town, and sent people to our town, and led the fleet to move the victims upstream."
After hearing what Mayor Tyrrell said, Zuo Wen Burns's face tightened, and even Ur behind him became nervous, and he carefully looked at Zuo Wen's facial expression.
"This is the ship loan order and ship information statistics." Mayor Tyrell handed the booklet he had just worked on to Zuo Wen Burns.
He took the book and flipped through it quickly,
Then Zuo Wen's heart went cold.
All the idle boats in the town that could transport people were all transferred to the upper reaches for disaster relief.
Which sea sentinel mage is so much faster than him?
We arrived yesterday, which was half a day faster than ourselves.
Even if they were the first batch of mages to set out, they would set off one hour earlier than him. Could it be that third-level mage?
A three-ring mage, instead of rushing to Auckland City to do big work, just pick up scraps like this?
"Your Sea Sentinel Mage is indeed amazingly efficient. According to what the two residents said yesterday, the Sea Sentinel Mage was just a trainee mage."
Mayor Tyrell is just a trainee mage. At this time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he sighed again: "We were able to find out clearly the disaster situation in Yaxi Town in one night."
He set off as soon as he received the order, riding a flame-maned horse with excellent foot power. How could a trainee mage be so much faster than him?
Unless...the other party is taking the water route.
The distance by water is much shorter than that by land.
But the question is, given the danger of the water that I saw along the way, how could a trainee mage arrive at Tyrell Town so quickly and safely? Did the other party risk his life?
Also, who is this trainee mage?
While thinking a lot in his mind, Zuo Wen Burns took out the map.
One step is slow, every step is slow.
It’s sad that Tyrrell Town failed to catch up, but now is not the time to be bored.
It is the so-called golden three days.
The first three days after the cyclone landed is the prime time for rescue. In other words, for him as the Sea Sentinel Mage, it is also the best time to make meritorious deeds.
Now, we must choose the next goal and seize the last day.
It's just that Zuo Wen Burns, who knew that someone was faster than him for a long time, fell into a tangle.
The other party's route is also Tyrrell Town-Yaxi Town. Here's the problem. Will his next target possibly collide with his own?
After all, there are only a few small towns surrounding Tyrrell Town and Yaxi Town, and everyone is a smart person. The target chosen in the end must be very different.
So, if I continue to follow the conventional thinking, I will most likely make the same mistake as this time and follow others behind me without getting anything hot to eat.
Let alone great merit, I'm afraid I won't be able to get even a third-class merit.
Zoven Burns's hands holding the map unconsciously exerted so much force that the edges of the map were wrinkled.
No, I can’t take chances that something like this will happen again. This time my disaster relief operation has really failed.
"The disaster is urgent, so I will stay soon." He maintained his dignity, said goodbye to Mayor Tyrell, and strode outside the town hall.
Ur quickly followed.
As soon as he left the town hall, Zuo Wen Burns got back on his horse.
“Master Zuo Wen, where should we go next?” Ur also mounted his horse. “Auckland City.” Zuo Wen said.
"Huh?" Wu'er was puzzled. Zuo Wen Burns had clearly said before that with his ability, he could only do odd jobs in Auckland City.
h He wanted to focus on these small towns.
"No one knows which small town this powerful trainee mage will go to next after solving the disaster in Yaxi Town. If I continue to rush to the town according to the original plan, if I bump into his destination again, my trip will be in vain."
"Going to Auckland City, even if it is to do odd jobs, it is better than getting nothing!" Zuo Wen Burns gritted his teeth.
Hearing what Zuo Wen Burns said, Ur immediately nodded sincerely. What he said was indeed very reasonable.
"Go faster, we have lost a lot of time this time." Zuo Wen Burns said coldly, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, ignored Ur, and walked straight away.
Watching the opponent's figure retreating quickly, Ur had no choice but to grit his teeth and chase after the opponent's splash of water.
Hurrah!
The salty and fierce sea breeze carried the rain and scraped the canvas.
The undulating bulging sound of the canvas has been ringing for nearly five hours.
The thick ropes creaked on the mast, and every time the rain-soaked hull rocked, there was the squeezing sound of the deck planks. In sharp contrast to this loud sound, there was an unusually solemn atmosphere on every ship.
The sudden assembly call, the bad weather, the upcoming dangerous battle with uncertain life and death, and the very uncomfortable sea battle scene made all the mages feel extremely heavy and depressed, and they had no time to chat.
And this depression is contagious.
The warship rides the wind and waves, ruthlessly splitting the sea surface, stirring up piles of white water foam on the bow.
The water droplets were torn into fine mist by the strong wind before they completely fell, and merged into the vast rain curtain.
Gaode stood on the second deck, staring at the sea ahead, looking left and right.
One hundred and eighty kilometers.
With the speed of the warship, we should have already arrived.
However, the closer to the destination, the faster and fiercer the wind blowing towards Auckland City from the wind direction.
In other words, the warships were traveling against the wind along the way. Even if they had other power sources besides sails, their moving speed would be greatly reduced.
Gothe was thinking about the upcoming war.
The secondary plane of the wind element is not a material plane, but a pure energy plane.
In addition to the strong wind elemental power raging everywhere, there is no other thing.
Hence, the creatures that exist in this secondary plane are all the purest wind element creatures.
The most common wind element creatures are air spirits, wind giants, and lurking ghosts.
For him, the good news is that ice element spells are one of the most powerful spell types against wind element creatures.
Gaode, what he is best at is ice elemental spells, and he also has a perfect ice magic weapon.
It can be said that it is a completely professional counterpart.
At this moment, Gothe's expression suddenly changed.
"There's something!" He focused his gaze sideways.
It looked like there was nothing there, nothing at all.
But in Gaode's perspective, this is not the case.
When Mandola's magic eye opened, he clearly saw a slight flow of energy in the void space.
"There may be an ambush." Now that he had discovered something, Gothe immediately found the temporary commander-in-chief of his ship.
This is a mage with a very rough appearance. When he heard Gothe's report, his instinctive reaction was impossible.
The Crown of Thorns is opening a path ahead, and the high-level mages above are ambush without even noticing it. How could Gothe discover it?
Even if he is a Sea Sentinel Mage, that makes no sense,
"They came from the side, and they have just approached now, so the Crown of Thorns did not find them." Gothe knew that the other party might not believe him, so he explained the reason in advance before the other party could raise questions.
If you can become a high-level mage and hold a high position, the possibility of being a fool is very low.
So, even if there are still some doubts in my heart, as the commander-in-chief, I still treat it as a matter of fact.
If it's a false alarm, you can at most give it a try, but if it's true and you don't take it seriously, you'll pay a huge price.
He still understands the importance of honesty and importance.
"Everyone is on alert, there may be an ambush, launch spells to attack the left and right sides!" Immediately, the commander-in-chief mage issued the order with unquestionable majesty.
And he himself immediately cast a spell in the direction pointed by Gothe.
His index finger flexed slightly, and a blue light shot in and out.
Zizzizi!
The blue light turned into a large string of electric arcs, expanding into countless lightning branches, slamming down on the space.
It was clearly an empty space, but the moment the lightning branch fell, it actually made a sound, as if it had hit something real.
Then, a white mist suddenly appeared and exploded.
Before the fog appeared, Gothe also heard an extremely harsh neighing sound.
"Lurking ghost!" Seeing this scene, the commander-in-chief reacted quickly.
This is a type of wind elemental creature that is extremely good at lurking and can blend into gases. Even if its level is higher than it, it may not be able to detect its existence.
At this time, other mages on the ship also launched an attack according to the position pointed out by Gothe.
There were several more explosions.
Nearly a dozen clouds of mist exploded in the air, like a dozen fireworks blooming.
Subsequently, the mist seemed to be swimming in the air without any support, and the strands were like extremely thin fish. The sky was like the ocean, spreading out in all directions.
They are the origin of wind elemental creatures, that is, wind element energy.
The number of lurking ghosts is not large, just a dozen or so, and they are all first-ring creatures, so they can be said to pose no threat.
But the commander-in-chief’s face didn’t look good.
The reason is also very simple.
These wind elemental creatures must come from that secondary plane of wind element.
The fact that they will appear here at this time shows that the wind network has stabilized a lot, enough to allow first-level wind elemental creatures to pass through.
When the wind network can allow the highest-level wind elemental creatures in the plane to pass through safely, this wind network will be completely finalized.
"As expected, time is running out." The commander-in-chief mage secretly said, taking out the alchemy machine at the same time, and quickly reported the findings here to the high-level mage on the Crown of Thorns.
On the other side, Gaode's expression was also strange.
However, he did not care about the appearance of wind elemental creatures.
What Gothe is concerned about is the white mist that is rapidly dispersing.
That is all wind element energy,
Pure wind elemental creatures will not have corpses after death like earth line creatures.
Because wind elemental creatures are just collections of energy, while earth-line creatures are real matter.
This wind element energy will dissipate in a very short period of time and be integrated into the vast mage plane.
In other words, this battle is all about desperate efforts and there will be no spoils at all.
Gaode has also been mentally prepared for this.
It was only just now, when he looked at the overflowing wind energy, that he suddenly remembered something, something he had temporarily ignored.
