Richard naturally did not treat Baroric unfairly for providing such important information. He gave him three bottles of Wind Grace Potion and three bottles of Fire Dancing Star to deal with some minor dangers.

It’s not that Richard is stingy, but the more advanced potions are either not suitable for people without wizard constitutions, or require entry-level mental strength to trigger, and there is no potion suitable for Baroric.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, Richard will naturally give Balorik some more things after he returns.

Although Richard had saved Balorik before, these are two different things.

A life-saving grace is a life-saving grace.

The other party followed my work and provided such important information. It would be unreasonable not to reward him, which would not be conducive to mobilizing his subjective initiative and enthusiasm.

However, Barrorick was very happy when he took the alchemy potion given by Richard. Although he had heard of and seen some wizards, it was difficult to buy these alchemy potions. He did not expect that he would gain so much just by providing Richard with a piece of information.

For the next period of time, the sea was calm! Of course, this was all thanks to the experienced captain, Barrorik, who guided the Princess to avoid several dangerous places, such as the sea area with frequent whirlpools and the raging sea.

On this day, Balorik told Richard and Stephanie about an adventure experience.

Suddenly, the sailors on the watchtower high on the mast began waving flags.

"Hey! There seems to be a big storm ahead, I'll go take a look!" Baroric, whose narration was interrupted, bowed to Richard and Stephanie and said.

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look together." Richard was also quite interested in the interests mentioned by the lookout.

In the past two months, they have encountered many sea monsters and sea creatures, and even been chased by the Cult of Poseidon, but they have never encountered a big storm.

So, when he heard that the Princess was about to encounter a storm, he also came to the deck with Stephanie.

In the distant sky, a black cloud with a very wide coverage, which could be said to be covering the sky and the sun, was spreading towards the Princess.

Perhaps because the Princess was also heading towards the black clouds, the sea soon became windy and rough.

After a while, raindrops the size of soybeans poured down from the sky, hitting people's faces painfully.

"Quick! Lower the sails!"

"Retract the cable!"

"Secure the guns and ammunition!!"

Following the shouts of Captain Balorik, First Mate Otombo, the Chief Gunner and others, all the crew members started moving like ants!

The storm came too quickly and the preparations were a bit hasty, but fortunately the sailors were all elite. After a brief flurry, basically everything was ready and they had to face this natural disaster head-on!

The wind and waves are getting stronger!

The Princess is like a leaf. After a crest, there is a valley, and then another crest.

One hour!

Two hours! After three hours, many elite sailors could not stand the roller coaster-like turbulence and began to vomit in the cabin. Suddenly, the narrow cabin was filled with the sour smell of vomit.

This also caused more crew members to start vomiting! Oh ~ right!

There was also an important person, the respected wizard Miss Stephana, who couldn't stand the bumps and started to feel a little uncomfortable. If Richard hadn't supported her, she would have vomited.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably vomit all the bile!

“Crackle, crackle!!”

There was a teeth-grinding sound of wooden boards rubbing against each other.

This is the sound of the ship's structure deforming due to high winds and waves.

If the keel is not hard enough, then under such a strong storm, there is no other possibility except the ship being destroyed and people dying.

Fortunately, the Princess is a warship! At this moment, all the crew members are thankful for this, because the construction standards of merchant ships and warships are very different. If ordinary merchant ships still have the possibility of cutting corners, it is almost impossible for warships, the cornerstone of a country's military force, to have this kind of situation.

Therefore, the Princess was able to survive this natural disaster.

Richard looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Facing the power of nature, only wizards above level three could resist it calmly. Not even level two wizards could do it.

If it were him, if the ship was destroyed and everyone died, since Richard was not good at water magic, his chances of survival would be slim.

It’s not about the wind and waves, but there are too many unknown dangers in the sea after falling into it.

One day! Two days!

The severe storm lasted for three days.

It wasn't until the third day that the storm became a little smaller and gradually became calm!

"Captain Baloric, have we deviated from our course?" Richard stood at the bow, looking at the sky which was still gray and drizzling.

"Lord Richard, according to the compass, our direction of travel has not deviated from the planned direction. Basil Island should be just ahead." Barolic took out a round copper compass with densely marked numbers from his arms, took a closer look, and replied.

Richard nodded, that would be the best.

"By the way, Balorik, you mentioned Basileus Island last time, but you didn't seem familiar with it, right?" Stephanie asked from the side.

"Yes, Lord Richard. Last time my ship was destroyed and I was killed. I drifted to Basileus Island, but luckily, the next day, I met a Tulip Principality ship that was avoiding the storm. So I survived by chance, and I also memorized the location of Basileus Island at that time."

"At first, I didn't know the name of this island. It was the sailors on the ship that rescued me who told me."

"Oh, by the way, I remember that Basileus Island is very large, and there seems to be an indigenous tribe on the island. The sailors from the Tulip Principality also told me that if it weren't for the storm, they would not have stopped at Basileus Island because these indigenous people are very barbaric."

"In addition, I also saw several paths on the island leading to the depths of the jungle, but I didn't dare to go deep into the jungle at that time, so I really don't know the situation inside." Balorik thought for a while and told everything he knew, like pouring out beans from a bamboo tube.

Richard nodded slightly. It seemed that it would be extremely difficult to find a relic on such a vast island.

I originally thought that since Basileus Island is an island, it should not be large and would not be too difficult to find. However, I did not expect that there were multiple indigenous tribes there and the area must be quite large.

With just a few people on the Princess, it would be difficult to find the ruins left by Rodrigo! Contact those indigenous tribes?

Richard thought about it and felt that only by relying on the power of the indigenous people could he successfully find the ruins.

"coastal!!"

The sailor on the lookout waved flags and shouted!

Everyone on the ship immediately walked out of the cabin and looked forward.

A brief meeting was immediately held in the captain's room.

Richard, Stephana, Baloric and first mate Otombo quickly agreed that Captain Baloric would stay on board to ensure the safety of the Princess, while Otombo would lead a team of 20 elite melee soldiers to accompany Richard and Stephana ashore in advance.

If we really need manpower at that time, we can come back and deploy it, but the first batch of people should not be too large.

In addition, the purpose of these melee team members is more to search and do some chores. They obviously cannot help Richard in combat.

Because this time, fighting is not the key, searching for the ruins is.

Soon, the Princess dropped anchor about fifty meters from the coast to avoid sudden attacks from indigenous tribes on the island. This distance was enough for everyone on the Princess to react.

Two small boats were launched, and Richard and Stephana, with a group of close combat teams, quickly resisted the Basileus Island.

As soon as he stepped onto the island, Richard discovered that the vegetation on Basileus Island was very lush, with various trees, shrubs and vines everywhere, creating a tropical jungle scene.

In the drizzle, a group of people walked on the muddy path in the dense forest.

This path must have been frequently used by local indigenous tribes, otherwise it would have been covered by lush vegetation in less than ten days or half a month.

First mate Otombo was at the front of the team, wielding a huge battle axe to chop branches and clear the way! Suddenly, Richard said, "Stop! It seems we are in some trouble!"

Richard was keenly aware that in the dense forest a few dozen meters ahead, there were more than ten pairs of eyes on the trees watching them.

Everyone was stunned! "Swoosh!", a thin arrow hit the orc Otombo's chest leather armor! But it was unable to penetrate and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack!!" Otombo shouted immediately.

"Clang clang!" The melee team members immediately drew out their knights' swords and raised their shields to form a circular array to block the attacks from the trees not far away.

"This is a blowgun! It looks like it was really made by a native." Richard glanced at the slender feathered arrow that fell to the ground. It was made entirely of sharpened wood and had no iron arrowhead.

"Wah-la-la! Wah-la-la!"

A strange cry came from the tree, followed by a dense rain of arrows. Except for an unlucky melee team member who was shot in the palm, the other darts were blocked by shields or thick leather armor.

“Swoosh!”

I saw more than a dozen skinny indigenous people with feathers on their heads and painted faces swinging down from the dense vines on the tree.

These people, armed with blowguns and short spears, surrounded Richard and his group.

That’s right!

A dozen people surrounded more than twenty people.

Richard could feel that the shouting of the natives before seemed to be some kind of signal. Now there seemed to be still movement coming from not far away. It must be the reinforcements of these natives!

At this time, an extremely tall native came out. He had three red stripes painted on his face, one more than the average native hunter. This should mean that he had a higher status.

"Outsider, this is not a place you should set foot in!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Richard and Stephanie looked at each other in surprise!

Hey! It's actually a common language. It seems that this Basileus Island is not as isolated from the world as imagined.

But what was the reason for the other party's hostile attitude? Was it because of an invasion by outsiders, serious damage or deception? "Lord Richard, just kill these guys!"

"How dare you attack us!" First Mate Otombo said angrily.

If Lord Richard had not given the order, according to his temper, he would have gone up and hacked these natives to death.

Richard shook his head slightly and said to the tall native:

"We have a reason to be here. If possible, I would like to meet and talk with your clan leader."

This was not a sudden idea of ​​Richard's, but he had this idea when he was on the boat.

Because according to Balorik, the island of Basileus is vast, and the best way to find the ruins is to rely on the natives. They are familiar with the local area, familiar with various strange places, and have sufficient manpower.

"Outsider, this is your last warning. Leave here immediately, otherwise you will become our prisoners!" The tall native did not give Richard any face at all. Without even thinking, he directly rejected Richard's suggestion to meet the other tribe leader.

"Maybe you will change your mind after seeing this!" Richard smiled and waved his hand!

I saw an extremely huge dark elemental hand appear out of nowhere, grab the terrified tall native, throw him into the air, catch him, and throw him into the air again and catch him.

After a few times, put the other person firmly on the ground.

"puff!!"

The tall native looked pale and vomited violently.

"Hahaha!" The orc first mate Otombo and a group of melee members all burst into laughter.

They had encountered a storm at sea before and suffered a lot of bumps and bruises, and this time they also let the rude native in front of them feel the same way.

After seeing what Richard had just done, the other natives were all surprised and did not dare to take any action. Instead, they started whispering to each other.

What Richard had just used was the zero-level magic Shadow Grip. It was not powerful enough to fight against a strong enemy, but it was perfect for teasing the native in front of him! After a long time, the native with three stripes on his face finally stopped vomiting, stood up, and saluted Richard with his chest, saying, "Respected wizard, please forgive my offense. I didn't know you were a great wizard. You must not be on the same side as those hateful gold diggers."

"Please wait here for a moment. I will report to the Apache shaman of our tribe right away."

"Oh! Gold diggers? There is a gold mine here?" Richard raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, we have several gold mines here, all of which are rich mines, so many gold diggers come here every year. These people do all kinds of evil, killing our people, even women and children." Speaking of this, the man with three bars recalled with an angry look on his face.

No wonder! Richard suddenly realized that the other party's treatment of strangers was a bit too harsh. The opening was a blowgun. It turned out that there was a reason for this.

"Is your Shaman also a wizard?" Stephanna asked curiously.

"Well, this should be considered as such, but it may be a little different from the wizards in the outside world. I don't know the details, but the shaman has specifically instructed that when encountering wizards like you two, we must be extra respectful! At the same time, we must report to him immediately."

Stephanie nodded. It seemed that the Apache shaman had a very special status in the indigenous tribe.
