Ta-ta-ta…

Continuous raindrops fell on the deck, making a series of crisp low sounds. Lin En, who was inside the cabin, woke up from the ongoing nightmare.

After seeing clearly the environment he was in, Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of the goddess's phantom last night brought him a lot of psychological pressure. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of catching up.

They should be safe now.

Lynn stood up, rolled off the hard wooden bed, picked up a cloak hanging at the door, then opened the cabin door and walked onto the deck.

The gentle sea breeze blew in with drops of sea water, bringing with it a salty and moist taste, blowing away the foul air in the cabin.

Lin En looked up into the distance. Thick fog filled the sea, covering the entire sailboat. He could only barely see about three to five meters outside the boat.

This mist seemed to possess some kind of mysterious power. Even if he used the first-ring magic [Tik's Farsight], he could not penetrate the white mist and see farther.

The danger of sailing under such conditions is self-evident. Not only is it difficult to tell the direction, but there is also the possibility of crashing into a reef.

"Master Wizard, are you awake? Did you have a good rest last night?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Lin En turned around and saw that the person was Lame Lord.

However, compared to last night, the other party looked a little listless and was obviously frightened.

Lin En did not answer Loud's question, but spoke directly. "Is this the Sea of ​​Mist? How did you find the direction in the past, and how long does it take to reach the Land of Wizards?"

"Normally, it takes more than half a month to sail from the harbor town. As for how to determine the direction..." Lord took out a compass very carefully.

Lin En moved closer curiously. The compass was round in shape and made of wood. There were many complicated runes and patterns painted on the surface. The most eye-catching thing was the pointer on top, which pointed motionlessly in the direction of the ship's sailing.

Could it be a compass? Lin En guessed secretly, and then heard Lord explain.

"This compass is an alchemical creation made by the great wizard Herram. No matter where you are, it will always point to the direction of the wizard's land."

This is what enables them to cross the sea of ​​fog. No matter where they start from, they only need to follow the direction indicated by the compass to find the wizard's land.

It's really amazing... Lin En picked up the compass and looked at it carefully. He became a little interested in the great wizard named Hellram. This was the second time he heard this name.

It seems that Anruk took so much trouble to deal with several wizard apprentices and lure out Lord just to get this compass.

As long as this thing is handed over to the Holy See, it will definitely be a great achievement! Since Lin En couldn't understand the runes on the compass, he just memorized it secretly and returned it.

Lord took it with his hand, and then he looked a little confused. After a long time, he asked carefully. "Are you a great wizard?"

"Of course not." Lin En shook his head, but didn't dare to admit it.

Without the help of more than a thousand people from the [Ship Gang], he would not have been able to set up a trap that could destroy the entire harbor terminal.

It was the power of science rather than magic that brought down Anluk and his men.

Seeing Lin En shaking his head to deny, Lord seemed a little skeptical. He saw the horrific explosion with his own eyes last night. It was definitely a power that only advanced magic could possess!

But considering that the other party had asked him to collect a large amount of raw materials, Loud secretly guessed that this witchcraft called "fireworks" probably required some special rituals to be prepared in advance before it could be used as a powerful magic.

"If that's the case, you'll probably be blamed when we reach the wizard's land." Lord couldn't help sighing.

Lynn's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes as he looked towards Lord. He vaguely smelled the scent of the black pot.

Under someone's "kind" gaze, Loud hurriedly began to explain.

Although he has been operating this waterway from the harbor town to the wizarding land, the person who created this route was the great wizard Hellram.

To put it bluntly, the entire [Ships Gang] is nothing more than a tool in the hands of the other party. Whether they like it or not, they need to transport some scarce materials to the wizard's land every year.

Because they had always acted very secretly, there had not been any major mistakes in more than a decade. But now, because of Johnny and others, this transportation route was directly destroyed.

If Lin En is also a great wizard, then there is no need to worry too much. If not, he needs to be prepared to be held accountable. This is why he specifically spoke out to confirm.

After Lord's explanation, Lin En quickly figured it out. He couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He could naturally think of the importance of this waterway.

This blame should be borne by his mentor Kelu. If he hadn't been so bold and intended to abduct the Duke's second daughter, and was caught on the spot, how could the Church have followed the clues and traced it all the way to the Harbor Town...

"Is this the only route to travel from the Wizard Land to the Sekas Empire?" Lin En asked.

"It should be more than that... The Sea of ​​Misty Sea is also connected to another important port - Vicnir, the capital of the Sekas Empire." Lord said hesitantly. Although he couldn't be 100% sure, he guessed that there were probably people in Vicnir doing the same thing as he was.

"I understand." Lin En nodded. It seemed that things had not yet developed to the worst point. However, he did not intend to take the blame. He had to find a way to get rid of it...

While Lin En was thinking, he asked Lord about various information about the wizarding land. He was too unfamiliar with this place and it would be easy to suffer losses without sufficient information.

After several inquiries, Lin En finally realized that the Wizarding Land was different from what he had expected. It was not a refuge built by a group of wizards persecuted by the Church, but a huge island that had existed for hundreds of years and had a city, a port, and a population of 600,000. The interior could almost be regarded as a small kingdom...

However, there are no kings or nobles here. Instead, there are wizards and various schools of thought. The highest power is held by the Wizard Council, which is composed of several legendary wizards...
