Chapter 50: The Current Situation in the Wizarding Land (Seeking Follow-up Reading)



"In that case, please continue to work hard. We will not be safe until we completely leave this sea area..."

Under Lynn's command, the sailors present temporarily suppressed their excitement and returned to their posts. But the difference from before was that facing the vast sea of ​​fog, there was no more worry in their hearts.

"I never thought that I could escape from the Eye of Death twice in my lifetime." Lord said with emotion.

"Last time, was it because of the help of the great wizard?" Lin En asked curiously. When he saw Lord mention the Frozen Whirlpool before, he had guessed that the other party must have faced such danger more than once.

Lord nodded, and then recounted his experience of that year with a little emotion.

That was more than ten years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary pirate, spending his days killing and looting on the sea.

Since their activity area is close to the Sea of ​​Misty Sea, they don't have to worry about being hunted by the Imperial Fleet. At worst, they can just hide in the fog. As long as they stay at the outermost edge and don't go too deep, they will not completely lose their way back.

Until one day, his pirate group encountered a large ship sailing out of the foggy sea...

At first they thought it was a cargo ship that had strayed into the foggy sea and luckily found its way back home. Relying on their large numbers, they targeted the other side for looting, but they didn't expect to hit a wall.

It was not Helram who took action at that time, but only two official wizards who were accompanying him. However, even so, the hundreds of people in their entire pirate group were still wiped out, and Lord's right leg was broken by the aftermath of a fireball.

If the other party hadn't wanted to keep someone to question, he would have died long ago.

However, it was through this opportunity that he was able to completely change his fate and become the spokesperson for the great wizard Hellram in the Harbor Town...

Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but look at Lord, wondering what the other party had done to escape his status as a prisoner and gain the favor of the great wizard.

He had seen the moral integrity of this old fox. He couldn't say that he had none at all... but it was very limited. If it were him, he would never trust such a person so much.

Were you caught with some evidence?

Although thinking this, Lynn did not interrupt Laud.

"Anyway, after arranging the affairs of the Harbor Town, I had the honor of accompanying Master Hellram to the Land of Wizards. It was when we were crossing the sea that we encountered the giant whirlpool." Lord said with nostalgia.

Of course, the [Eye of Death] whirlpool that time was not as terrifying as this one. Its coverage area was only about one kilometer, and Helram’s way of dealing with it was also very simple, which was to freeze the entire whirlpool!

But even so, this was enough to surprise Lin En. It seemed that the power possessed by the great wizard was far stronger than he had imagined.

"By the way, the destination of our voyage this time is Master Hellram's territory - Yieta Harbor!" Lord added.

But he still had no idea how to respond to Hellram's criticism...

While the two were chatting, the sailing ship under their feet had completely sailed away from the range of the whirlpool, and the sailors on the ship cheered loudly.

Despite the heavy losses when rushing through the Eye of Death, Loud was still generous for once, letting everyone eat and drink to celebrate tonight! However, life at sea was really boring, and the so-called celebration was just sitting together, holding a bucket of beer and drinking tons of it, bragging about their heroic deeds in the past, and fishing by the way.

Perhaps their luck began to improve, and they didn't encounter any bad things in the next few days. The whole sea was nothing but white fog. If Lin En hadn't been following the compass needle, he would even think that they had never left the place.

This is also the horror of the Sea of ​​Fog. If a great wizard like Helram cannot find the direction, even if he has a way to deal with the whirlpool, he will be completely lost in this sea.

During the days of crossing the sea, Lin En was not idle. In addition to practicing magic as usual, he would ask Johnny for information about the wizarding land every day. He soon had a general understanding of this wizard's holy land.

The first is the attitude towards the outside world, which can be roughly divided into two factions.

The first is the conservative faction who stick to their old ways. This is also the choice of most wizards in the Wizarding Land. They completely ignore the outside world and concentrate on studying magic in their respective territories. They even think that those outside the Wizarding Land who are controlled by the Church are extremely ignorant.

What wizards seek is to analyze the mysteries of things through magic and to explore the truth of the world, rather than fighting for power and occupying territory like the so-called kings and nobles. Therefore, studying magic is the same everywhere.

Anyway, the wizarding land has extremely rich reserves of magic mines, and with the blockade of the Sea of ​​Mist, the Holy See cannot break in, and it is not easy for them to get out. It would be better for them to concentrate on developing various magic theories and crush the enemy directly in the future.

The second group is the progressive faction like the great wizard Hellram who advocates showing off the power of witchcraft to the outside world. They believe that although the Wizarding Land is a super-large island, it cannot be self-sufficient in many scarce materials, and the population is too small and needs to constantly absorb new blood from the outside world to replenish it.

But the disadvantages are also very obvious. The more contact with the outside world, the more dangerous it is. The power accumulated by the wizard land is not enough to compete with the church. Once the location is completely exposed, the wizard land may be destroyed. This is the fundamental reason why most wizards prefer conservatives! It is worth mentioning that their mentor Kelu is a member of the progressive school, belonging to the school founded by the great wizard Hellram...

"That means it's very difficult for news to spread between the wizarding land and the outside world, right?" Lin En asked after thinking carefully.

"Probably." Johnny nodded. In these four years, she had only been to the wizarding land once, and most of her knowledge of the place came from Kelu's daily stories.

“If that’s the case…” Lin En looked at the porthole thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see the wizard land standing deep in the sea through the vast white fog.

He had already thought of how to deal with the great wizard's criticism.
