Chapter 188 Ilio's End
Oguta used his invisibility to run all the way, and after a big circle, he finally returned to the water fort near a tributary of the Yitongli River.
He removed his invisibility, straightened his magic robe that was messed up by running, put on an enigmatic expression, and walked slowly towards the gate of the water fort.
"Hey, are you back?"
Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded above his head, startling Auguta so much that he stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the watchtower in surprise, only to see a strange man in a hooded cloak sitting leisurely on it.
Oguta was frightened and looked around keenly. He was shocked to find that the pirates who usually guarded the gate were nowhere to be seen.
No, they are not missing, but they are all dead!
Augusta saw the open space behind the door filled with the bodies of the pirates.
It was this strange man who killed them!
Oguta clenched his magic wand and feigned calmness as he shouted, "Who are you? Why are you killing my brothers from the water fort?"
The strange man leaped and landed lightly on the ground. His gray cloak fluttered, revealing the exquisite robe and expensive gold jewelry underneath.
Oguta's pupils contracted, and with just one glance, he recognized that the other person was wearing a high-end magic robe and high-end magic jewelry.
The strange man slowly approached, took off his hood, revealing a handsome face, black hair like silk, blue eyes like the sea, and an inhuman beauty that made Augusta dazed.
"It doesn't matter who I am. It's the fact that you're going to die that matters."
The sweet voice spoke cruel words, which made Oguta frown.
"Boy, do you know who I am?" Oguta sneered and raised his magic wand. "Don't think you can speak so freely in front of me by killing a few ordinary humans."
Ilio smiled brightly, raised his hand, and spread his fingers towards the necromancer. "How about this?"
The next second, a tremendous pressure rushed over like a tidal wave. Augusta was terrified. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground. His face was pale, sweating profusely, and the fear of death spread throughout his body.
Dharma... Dharma Saint?
wrong!
This is an aura that is even more terrifying than that of a Dharma Saint!
"You... who are you?" Auguta pressed his hands on the ground, struggling to support himself, trying hard not to be crushed to the ground by the opponent's momentum.
"I told you, the one who takes your life." Ilio smiled as if he was an insignificant passerby, but the eyes he looked at the necromancer were cold and ruthless.
"You can't kill me! My mentor is... Sheen Pusen, who is as famous as Myron Cloe. He is now working in Cecilia. If you kill me today, my mentor will not let you go!" Beads of sweat were dripping down Auguta's face. He finished his threat with difficulty, and vicious emotions were brewing in his brown eyes.
Elio raised an eyebrow and said, "Myron Crowe? I haven't heard that name in a long time. It's been almost thirteen years since I killed him!"
Oguta's pupils contracted.
Ilio continued, "Sheen Pusen? Haha, it seems he's an old acquaintance of mine. Three hundred years ago, he was like a rat living in a gutter, hiding everywhere. Now he's emerged and is colluding with the usurper in Cecilia. Interesting, really interesting!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
The fear in Oguta's heart reached its limit.
Three hundred years ago, his mentor had dealt with this guy?
However, he looked to be only in his early twenties, and did not look like a human being who had lived for over three hundred years.
It's not human, could it be...
Augusta kept swallowing, feeling that his guess was too unbelievable.
"Who are you……"
Before he could finish his words, a wind blade suddenly appeared and cut his throat.
Elves or fairies...
The necromancer made a hoarse sound and used a breath of air to break his soul away from his body in an attempt to escape.
Ilio didn't give him any chance to escape. He raised his hand and cast wind magic, tearing his half-separated soul into pieces.
In front of the God of Magic, the intermediate magician is vulnerable.
The number one pirate who bullied others by taking advantage of his power and had been rampant for decades died with his eyes open in a pool of blood.
Elio put his hood back on and flicked his cloak gracefully. He heard hurried footsteps and curled his lips.
Llewellyn, the second-in-command of the water bandits, and the small leader Maiza, along with a dozen of their men, escaped death and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the gate of the water fort.
After straightening their clothes, they strode into the house with pretended calmness.
However, when they saw the tragic death of Oguta and the pile of corpses, they were horrified.
"You're all back at last!" Ilio, standing on the watchtower, gave them a deathly smile.
*****
The cargo ship braved the wind and waves and moved forward bravely. Half an hour later, it successfully left the Mora River section and entered the river channel of the Duke of Derek's territory.
Far behind us was a row of small black dots, which were ships that took the opportunity to break through the checkpoint.
Without the harassment of the pirates, the Light Squad put away their magic and the sailors returned to their original positions, rowing the boat with oars.
Johnny ran onto the deck happily and excitedly thanked Team Light.
"Captain Sperian, thank you so much! You are our saviors! When we get to the royal city, I will invite you to my home!"
Shu Li stood with his friends, calmly saying, "You paid a large sum of money to hire us, so we must ensure the safety of everyone on the cargo ship."
Disceo raised his hands, showing off his muscular biceps. "I told you, we're awesome!"
Angel covered his mouth and laughed.
Johnny thanked Team Light again. "Let's go to the restaurant. I've asked the chef to prepare some delicious food and wine."
"Yeah!" Budno and Amanda high-fived and cheered.
I had a fight and I’m starving!
Everyone walked into the restaurant happily, only to see the table filled with delicious food, which made their mouths water.
Johnny knew that most members of Team Light loved to eat fruits and vegetables, so he would ask the chef to buy a lot of fresh ingredients every time they docked.
Meat was indispensable, and the golden roasted lamb legs and rabbit made Amanda's mouth water. He happily picked up a rabbit, took a big bite, and ate it with relish.
Budno munched on the fruit and watched him eat the meat, feeling envious and jealous.
Johnny poured everyone a drink, raised his glass, and stood up, saying, "I'm happy today, let me toast you."
Although underage goblins are not allowed to drink alcohol, the situation today is special. Their employers have toasted them, so it is difficult for them to refuse.
As the captain, Shu Li took the lead in raising his glass.
Soon, after a glass of wine, the expressions of the Light Team varied. Some frowned, some were surprised, and some seemed to be unsatisfied.
Shu Li had drunk alcohol in his previous world. On his eighteenth birthday, there was a family dinner. His father took out a bottle of fine wine that he had collected for many years. His brothers all rushed to drink it, and he also drank a small glass.
The wine has a rich aroma, is delicate and mellow, and has a long aftertaste, making it worthy of being called the national wine.
The taste of today's glass of wine is far inferior to the national wine. Just smelling the wine, it is not as good as the fine wine brewed in the Elf Kingdom!
However, as the son of a wealthy businessman, Johnny's banquet was definitely filled with fine wine. It can only be said that the living standards of humans in this world need to be improved.
After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the cabin drunk.
Although the wine was ordinary, the alcohol content was not low. After Shu Li drank two glasses, his head felt a little dizzy, and his walking was so light that he wondered if he was flying in the air with wings.
He shook his head, trying to stay awake.
"Be careful." Ace helped him up.
Shu Li stared at the door frame so close to him and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Fortunately, Ace pulled him back, or he would have hit it head-on.
Ace said, "Let me help you back to the cabin!"
"Oh... OK..." Shu Li was a little slow to react. With the help of her human classmates, she successfully entered her cabin.
He sat on the bed and said drowsily, "Um...you should go back and rest! Everyone is tired today."
"Yeah." Ace saw his dazed look and asked softly, "Do you want to wash your face?"
Shu Li blinked and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Ace walked to the towel rack, picked up the bucket next to it, and poured clean water into the basin.
The conditions on the ship are limited. There is no separate bathroom and all toiletries are placed in the cabin.
He rubbed the towel in clean water for a few times, wrung it dry, and handed it to Shu Li.
"Thank you, Ace." Shu Li took the wet towel and covered his face with it. The cool feeling instantly made him more awake.
After carefully wiping his face, he looked at the blond boy with clear eyes. "Ace, you were amazing today."
He was a great wizard disguised as a magic apprentice, and secretly ambushed the necromancer several times. As a real magic apprentice, Ace was not at all nervous. He made the finishing blow at the critical moment and coordinated with his attacks every time. It was so precise.
Ace smiled and said, "You are amazing too."
Shu Li clutched the towel and laughed, "Actually, that necromancer's reputation isn't what it seems. He might have some level-up magic item on him, and he's just trying to fool people. Ordinary humans don't understand, so they get scared."
Ace nodded in agreement: "That's possible."
Shu Li said, "We dealt a heavy blow to the pirates this time. I wonder if they will come back again?"
Ace stretched out his hand to him. Shu Li was stunned for a moment and handed him the used towel, which he put in the basin to wash.
"I don't think so. The nearby lords will get wind of this and will definitely take the opportunity to clean up the mess."
"I hope so!"
Shu Li saw him hang the clean towel back on the rack and urged him, "Go back and rest. I'm awake now."
Ace's gentle gaze swept across his flushed cheeks and whispered, "Don't drink so much next time."
Shu Li held her hot cheeks and replied obediently, "Yes!"
He will definitely not drink next time.
The wine was bad and intoxicating, and he was almost ready to reveal his wings. Hopefully, the other goblins would stay calm. Amanda seemed to have had three drinks, and he absolutely had to not reveal his true form, or the boat would collapse.
Ace smiled, left his cabin, and considerately closed the door.
Shu Li waited for a minute, jumped up, rushed to the door, and quickly locked it.
Ouch, my back is itchy.
He roughly stripped off his clothes, revealing his naked upper body. His wings, which had been hidden for many days, finally couldn't help but come out under the influence of alcohol.
His shoulder blades felt itchy, so he moved. The next second, translucent wings like gauze grew out, growing bigger and bigger, emitting a faint fluorescent light, until they were fully revealed and stretched out wantonly.
Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked around the small cabin, rolled his eyes, retracted his original power, and his body instantly shrank.
However, the clothes were not high-level robes and could not shrink with his body.
Shu Li flapped her wings with her naked body.
Anyway, he is the only little devil in the cabin, so he might as well be naked!
He flew happily around, humming elven poems and flapping his beautiful wings vigorously.
Just when he was having a great time, there was a knock on the door.
"Sperian, are you asleep?"
Ace's voice rang out from outside.
Shu Li's body froze, and he nearly fell from mid-air. He quickly steadied himself and asked stutteringly, "I'm just...just about to go to sleep. Is...something wrong?"
Ace said politely, "I left my magic wand with you."
Shu Li immediately looked around the cabin and saw Ace's magic wand placed next to the washbasin rack.
“Please… please wait a moment!”
He secretly cursed and hurriedly released his original power to change back to his big size. He was naked and frantically picked up the clothes on the ground.
However, the more nervous he was, the harder it was to dress. In the end, he decided to go all out and threw his magic robe and trousers onto the stool. He took out his shorts and shirt from his backpack and put them on. Without bothering to button his shirt, he walked barefoot to the door, took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and opened the hatch.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ace's green eyes moved slightly, looking at the boy's snow-white chest.
