Chapter 251 249: The Advantage is in Me (Last month's monthly ticket 2200 plus more)
Inside the captain's cabin.
The letter thrown out from the magic mirror floated down onto the table.
The third-level wizard Walter looked to the left, then to the right, and finally reluctantly released the handle that held down the magic mirror and infused it with magic power.
He bent down again, picked up the letter, and examined it carefully.
There was no way. Among the people present, he, a third-level extraordinary magician, was actually the weakest.
He has to do this kind of trivial thing even if he doesn't want to!
After making sure that there was no problem, at least no magic attached, Walter took out a knife, opened the seal, and pulled out the letter bit by bit.
Of course, he didn't look at it himself first, but handed it to Loy. Loy took it, glanced at it a few times, and then gave it to Oliveira next to him.
It didn't really matter to Oliveira whether he saw it or not, and he didn't comment, but he still glanced at it and then gave it to Iron Knight Phil...
It went around in a circle like this before finally returning to Walter's hands.
When the extraordinary wizard took it, he actually felt flattered. Of course, he was a little disappointed with the content.
It cannot be said that there is no novelty, it can only be said that it is stereotyped and full of aristocratic hypocrisy.
At this time, Iron Knight Phil Zeke spoke: "This letter came at a very timely moment, which means Davis still doesn't know the truth.
This is our chance!"
Flame Sword Saint Otto continued, “I just don’t know how long this period of time can last.
I believe that the Marquis of Carlisle is definitely not the only one who can contact Davis through the magic mirror.
So if someone had contacted Davis and missed a sentence or two, all our efforts would have been wasted.”
Phil added: "So, we have to be quick and locate their location as quickly as possible.
Then, go straight for him and give him a hard time!"
Luo Yi finally spoke: "It has to be hidden enough!
Davis also has a magic mirror and a magic eye, and his reconnaissance abilities are quite impressive. If he were to discover us first, he would likely have to flee."
As she said this, almost everyone turned their attention to Ms. Palacios.
Her eyes flickered as she had an idea: "I can use a mirror spell to conceal the existence of the magic eye.
On the surface, it looks like a reflection of the sky, so it must be somewhat deceptive!"
"Then there's the aura of the people. I have to set up something on the merchant ship, but the materials used are corrosive.
If it infiltrates for too long, it could easily damage the keel of the ship!"
Luo Yi waved his hand: "As long as we deal with these pirates, what does a ship matter?!"
“How do we locate it?”
Everyone looked at Ms. Palacios again, but this time, she turned her head and looked at her apprentice Walter.
“Every profession has its specialties. Even though I’m at the fourth level, I can’t know everything.
So, you have to ask Walter about this!"
So, everyone's eyes turned to Walter again. He knew that this was an opportunity given by his teacher to show himself, and he immediately puffed out his chest.
"The magic mirror's ability to transmit letters actually involves first locating the object and then creating a connecting space gap, allowing communication between the two sides.
In other words, I can use magic to locate the opponent's magic mirror in this process.
However, this positioning is actually broad and can only point out one direction.
Moreover, if he runs away after we locate him, we won’t be able to do anything.”
Luo Yi immediately said, "It's okay to have a direction, it's better than running like a headless fly.
Master Walter, it all depends on your performance."
Walter smiled awkwardly and said, “To use this method, we still lack a prop.”
"What?"
"Reply! After I opened it, the other party also reacted like that. I have to have a letter to fool them.
Otherwise, he would definitely become suspicious.”
When these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they heard Iron Knight Phil say: "This matter is a bit troublesome!
Not only must the content be correct, but the handwriting must also imitate the Marquis of Carlisle."
"I can solve the handwriting problem. I can imitate other people's handwriting and make it look real."
This was Walter's own initiative, and Otto spoke without thinking: "I didn't expect that Master Walter has this ability?"
At this time, Ms. Palacios said quietly, "That's because he likes to imitate my notes when drawing magic scrolls.
This way, they can pass off inferior goods as good ones and double the price!"
"Ahem, ahem, teacher, in front of the Earl, please give me some face, please give me some face!!"
Walter’s face flushed, and he quickly added: “In fact, the content is the most important!
God knows if they have agreed on any secret codes, and it must be in line with their conversation habits.
The number of words, tone, heading, signature, and even the paper, pen, and ink used, all require careful attention."
Luo Yi nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. It is indeed not easy to imitate to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.
So, for the content, just write eight words!"
"What?"
"The battle is in full swing, get out of the way!"
Walter: “…”
…
A few days later.
In the fog,
On the magic ship, in the captain's room, Davis looked at the two letters in his hands, with confusion in his mind.
One of the letters was from the Marquis of Carlisle. It contained only eight words, written in a flamboyant style, and was obviously written in a hurry.
This letter arrived first. Through the paper, Davis seemed to see the urgency and disdain of the Marquis of Carlisle.
Urgent, of course the situation on the battlefield is urgent!
The disdain he showed showed the Marquis of Carlisle's contempt and disdain for pirates.
Even though the two sides were doing business constantly, making money from each other and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, the nobles naturally looked down on pirates.
Davis had no doubt about these eight words; he never thought that they were not written by the Marquis of Carlisle.
But the second letter that came later left him stunned!
Although he is a pirate, there is no doubt that Davis attaches great importance to the news.
Therefore, he gave the nobles he cooperated with a business of collecting information, which was to regularly summarize some information that everyone knew and transmit it through the magic mirror.
So, Davis is always well-informed.
But this time, among the pile of messages, he saw one item.
[The Marquis of Carlisle was defeated and killed, the Norman noble war ended, and the new lion king showed his fangs and claws, still as sharp as ever!]
Just this one sentence made Davis confused.
In fact, this was a good thing for him. Now that the Marquis of Carlisle was dead, naturally, no one could hold him accountable for the failure of his mission.
Even the big shots behind him couldn't cause him trouble with this matter.
Moreover, from the timeline, it actually makes sense.
When the letter was delivered, the battle was still in full swing, but he was defeated and killed afterwards. It makes sense and there is nothing wrong with it!
But when Davis held the two letters, he always felt that something was wrong?
It was as if, as if, he had missed something, and something very dangerous would happen!
But the problem is, even if Marquis Carlisle was defeated and killed, that was Frostmoon Canyon's business. What does it have to do with the Silver Sea?
Even if the illegitimate Earl wanted to cause trouble for him, they were now separated by an ocean. What good would that do?!
At worst, we can just stay away from the Raymond family’s ships and leave.
This was Davis's idea, which was consistent with the pirates' logic, but he always felt uneasy.
It seems like he still missed something!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Beep beep beep!
"who?"
"Captain, I'm the first mate. We've spotted a Lion Clan merchant ship out there. Pirates are using flag signals to ask, should we let it go or rob it?"
"Let go? Are you kidding? Throwing away the meat right in front of your mouth, is that what a pirate would do?"
Davis, who was feeling irritated, seemed to have found a way to vent his anger. He picked up his pirate scimitar, limped to his feet, and walked out of the captain's room.
He wants to direct this robbery himself!
He wants to wash away the restlessness in his heart with blood!
…
On the vast sea.
A merchant ship flying the lion flag saw a strangely spreading fog, which prompted the sailors on the lookout to immediately issue a warning.
Above the sea, anything abnormal must be avoided, let alone this fog that makes it impossible to see anything clearly?
So the merchant ship immediately turned the rudder and tried to avoid it.
But at this moment, a pirate ship emerged from behind the fog and blocked the way.
The merchant ship shook and turned in the other direction, but new pirate ships still emerged from the fog and blocked the way.
These pirate ships are actually very fast, far exceeding the speed of fully loaded merchant ships.
But at this moment, more than ten pirate ships were like playing a game, drawing an arc one by one to block the way.
Until the merchant ship was forced to stop in the middle, and was already surrounded by more than ten pirate ships.
This was a complete encirclement, leaving almost no way to retreat.
At this moment, the pirates cheered loudly, as if they were sure of victory and could get whatever they wanted.
In fact, if this were an ordinary merchant ship, you could really have whatever you wanted.
But he is not!
In the captain's room, Loy's gaze shifted from the magic mirror and he looked out the window through the surrounding windows.
The pirates' eager and distorted faces of excitement were clearly visible.
Keluoyi didn't feel discouraged at all. Instead, he said excitedly, "Great, great, I finally found this loach!"
"The Mist Pirates, one of the three major pirate groups in the Silver Sea, should be eliminated today."
At this moment, Mage Walter said something inappropriately: "My Lord Earl, how are we going to fight this battle?"
"How do you fight?"
Luo Yi looked at the extraordinary mage as if he were a mentally retarded person and said, "In this battle, the advantage is mine. Of course I'll win!"
More updates are coming!
