Chapter 557 555 Is in Line with Murphy's Law

Chapter 557 555. Very consistent with Murphy's Law

The more powerful the magician, the lower the demand for circulating currency, and instead pursues materials that can be circulated among high-level magicians to complete barter again and again.

As an outstanding navigation guide, his vision is extraordinary. The package that the man in front of him took out for the first time was just some slightly rare marine materials, which were only used to sell to potion masters, which was not attractive to him.

But this bead is different. It clearly releases a vague power to suppress magic. Since the magic power has permeated this world, objects that repel magic power have become extremely rare. Although the magician equipment developed by craftsmen is resisted by magicians from all continents, and even assassinated and destroyed at all costs, there are still many magicians who are eager to study this strange power in secret.

This is real hard currency.

Jeffrey fell into deep thought. He glanced at Lu Yu quietly, but suddenly remembered that the other party was wearing a mask and had no way of knowing his expression.

After struggling for a long time, he picked up the bead. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Which continent are you going to?"

"Mela."

Jeffrey was stunned, and after coming to his senses, he threw the bead to Lu Yu.

"Sorry, I can't take it."

"You are not satisfied with the price, and you plan to raise it again?" Lu Yu said frankly.

"It's really not about money. If it's a nearby continent, I still have a way, but Mela is a little too far." Jeffrey explained, "I am a man of integrity. More information is our own secrets in this industry. It is inconvenient to reveal more. Anyway, please go back."

Lu Yu took out another bead and held it in his hand. The two beads collided, and the wonderful power of suppressing magic echoed in the study.

Jeffrey was silent, restrained his desire, retracted his eyes and took a deep breath.

"What do you want to do in Mela?"

"You should know in your line of work that you shouldn't ask too much about your employer's affairs." Lu Yu said, "Do the work, then collect the money. Now give me an answer, are you going or not?"

Jeffrey touched his chin, tugged at his beard, and paced behind the desk without paying attention to Lu Yu still in the study.

After a long time, he turned his head and stared at Lu Yu: "You must have the ability to protect yourself. If you don't have strong strength, I still say the same thing, please go back."

Lu Yu didn't waste any words, and waved his hand gently, and the Shadow Kingdom unfolded. The moment Jeffrey reacted, two shadow substitutes had quietly put the dagger against his waist.

Throwing the two beads back to Jeffrey, Lu Yu said: "You should be satisfied with this answer."

Jeffrey is also a straightforward person. Since he has decided to take the risk, he put the two magic-suppressing beads in his pocket.

"I promise you, but I need to make some preparations, which will take about two days."

"At the same time, I need to remind you that this trip will not be very peaceful. If something extremely dangerous happens during the journey and endangers my life, I will escape immediately. My purpose is to say bad things in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared. If you can't accept it, you can give up now."

Lu Yu said: "I promise you, but now that you have received the money, you might as well tell me the reason why you seafaring guides collectively gave up the cross-continental guide business. I see that you are so cautious... The sea is not peaceful now?"

"Not peaceful?" Jeffrey laughed dryly, "This word cannot describe the sea now. Do you know how many ships that trade across the continent have returned to the port in the past hundred days, and how many survivors have seen on the sea? Horrible scene?"

"Our past chart coordinates and magic navigation have lost their function. We are like headless flies in the vast ocean. Several guides who often travel between continents to make money have disappeared. They are not new kids. They are all experienced and have never lost any records in the past decades."

"I can't explain the detailed dangers too clearly. When you are on the sea, you will experience it firsthand. Anyway, you will gather at the place I point out in two days."

Lu Yu, who left Jeffrey's mansion, got a simple sea chart provided by him. It marked the multiple islands that the returning ships observed on the way, which had never existed, as well as dense reefs and undercurrents. Their appearance made it impossible for the fleet, which could not use magic to locate, to find the direction through the original reference objects.

After asking Coral, I learned that not only were there a few more islands on the sea, but there were also violent crustal movements deep in the sea, causing submarine volcanoes in many areas to be ready to go. At the same time, shortly after the magic tide reached its climax, their tribe witnessed the natural disaster scene of an island being torn apart and swallowed by a terrifying whirlpool.

"The sea now is very strange." Coral said, "Only when you enter the deep seabed and stick to the hard rock will it be slightly calmer."

"Are you ready? You may encounter many emergencies."

"If I stay here, I may also be swept by a sudden natural disaster. Even if there is no natural disaster, when the war between the sea and the land species is ignited, I may be involved... There is no place that is truly safe for me and my people. In comparison, the Dawn Territory you described is already one of the few safe havens."

Coral said, "I like the word 'fate' you mentioned, and I am willing to believe that it can guide me and the children I protect to a new home."

Jeffrey is quite trustworthy. Two days later, he even arrived at the coast of the agreed location ahead of time.

After seeing Lu Yu appear casually, Jeffrey divided the two backpacks he was carrying.

"Share the weight for me," he said.

Lu Yu stretched out his hand to weigh the backpack and sighed, "It looks like there are a lot of props and it's quite heavy."

"We are going to risk our lives. We need to be fully prepared. I have never capsized a boat since I started this business. I don't want this time to be an exception." Jeffrey checked the items in the backpack for the last time and finished dressing. "Let's go. "

"Let's just set off, where is the ship?"

"Without a ship, it cannot provide any sense of security. It will also become the best target on the sea. The creatures in the sea are going crazy. There is no need to slide over their heads to further stimulate them." Jeffrey said, "Wind magic, slightly higher Flying over the sea shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”

After saying that, Jeffrey took the lead and floated out. He turned back midway and glanced at Lu Yu with a slightly scrutinizing look.

"He seems to be questioning your battery life." Lulu said.

Sera reminded: "It's not Lu Yu, it's us. The three of us are one."

Lulu was stunned and quickly said, "What you said makes sense, the three of us!"

After flying for a while, the Gwell Continent behind him had completely disappeared. The sea wind roared on the winter sea and slapped coldly on the two of them, causing Jeffrey to stop and impose a ball on himself that could surround the body. Ring of fire around to maintain skin temperature.

"Your body is very healthy." Seeing that the cold wind could barely hit Lu Yu's body and was resolved by the invisible magic power, Jeffrey reminded, "Save some magic power and do less cool moves. "

Although he was reminded, Lu Yu still went his own way, and Jeffrey didn't bother to mention it again. He was not the kind of elf who asked for trouble. Time would tell this mysterious employer that it was dangerous to act cool like this on the sea.

There were no boats, no sea people, only a few schools of fish breaking out of the water, adding a bit of vitality to the empty and lonely sea. More often, Lu Yu could hear only the whistling of the wind and the sound of the surging ocean current. .

"Are those seabirds above your head yours?"

Lu Yu had been paying attention for a long time. Not long after leaving Guwell, a group of seabirds appeared above their heads. They were much larger than the albatross Lu Yu had seen before. Their bodies were snow-white, their wings were gray and black, and they were dotted with mottled brown.

"Of course, some of the monsters I raise can only use magic power superficially and have no wisdom at all. However, they are far more accurate than us in today's vast sea." Jeffrey said, "Among them, Some of them cross two or three continents without stopping, and no matter how misguided you are, they can still reach their target.”

"Are you an animal trainer?" Lu Yu asked for Sera.

"That's right. It's strange, isn't it? I am a forest elf, but I have little resonance with tree elves, flower elves, and other auxiliary races born in the dense forest. The animals and monsters running in the forest are not close to me. On the contrary, they are The birds prefer my company."

Although it was a cooperative relationship, they always needed something to talk about to pass the time while traveling on the sea. As the two chatted, they became somewhat familiar with each other.

After arriving at the first large island they saw after leaving Guwell, the two immediately landed and rested.

Jeffrey never dared to maintain the magic power in his body below 50%. He carefully assessed the sea conditions along the way. Although there was no emergency yet, he always felt that danger would strike in the next second.

The seabirds in the sky immediately transformed into dive bombers, forming a square formation in a Stuka way of dropping bombs and taking turns flying over the sea. Their skills were so excellent that after almost every seabird raised its "nose", There was a fat fish in his mouth that was still flicking its tail.

And the few unlucky ones who didn't succeed climbed up again and carried out the second dive bombing. The scene was really spectacular.

A fish fell from the sky and hit between Lu Yu and Jeffrey. It bounced like a deflated ball and then became motionless.

Lu Yu waited for a while, but did not see the seabirds coming back to pick up their prey. He only heard Jeffrey say slowly: "Do you mind making a fire? We can grill some fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, another fish fell in front of his eyes. After the Stuka bomber reported to the commander, they left and began to enjoy their own results.

Jeffrey added: "After all, it seems that your magic power consumption is not large and there is no need to restore it."

Lulu quickly gathered dry firewood and made a fire. The muscle memory she had accumulated during her trip with Lu Yu was perfectly inherited into her briquette body. She even remembered to disembowel the fish, take out the internal organs, and then control the water flow to clean the mucus and break the scales. .

"Didn't you bring any condiments?"

Lu Yu's question made Jeffrey, who was already tearing the fish meat, stunned for a moment. It was obvious that this question caused his brain to shut down briefly.

"Well, it seems that there really isn't any, so we'll just have to make do with it."

"It seems that you are particularly particular about food." Jeffrey said.

"No, I just have a superficial understanding of it."

Lu Yu turned his back, tore the fish into strips, and stuffed the pieces into the black mist.

Jeffrey saw it, but he said nothing.

In fact, he also noticed that along the way, in addition to consciously controlling his flying speed to match the flight rhythm of the seabirds, Lu Yu was also adjusting his speed intentionally or unintentionally, and his perception was extending into the sea, as if he was looking for something. What.

"Goo!"

"Goo!"

"Gah!!"

The seabirds that had just finished eating were grooming their feathers, but they all made shrill chirps, one after another.

They all flew into the air, circled above the two people's heads, and then all faced in the same direction.

"Something is happening."

Lu Yu sensed it, but...

"So fast, what is this thing!" Sera exclaimed, the magic power they extended seemed to hit a fast-flying sharp blade, and was cut off in an instant. The thing broke free from perception at an incredible speed and rushed straight to the beach in the distance.

It was far away, and Lu Yu couldn't see what it was, but he had already felt the approaching magic breath.

"There are quite a few, and each one is very fast." Lulu reminded.

"After landing, it slowed down, and this rhythm is like... a bipedal race, a sea monster... No, they have tails, and they can't be so fast." Sera is still guessing.

Lu Yu warned: "Jeffrey, take back your seabirds. Their magic is not only spying on us, but also staring at your precious pets."

Jeffrey blew a whistle quickly, and the flock of birds that were still loyally sounding the alarm for their master quickly fled and hid.

"The reaction of the seabirds is very strange. This is a race they cannot recognize. They can't give us more information from the call." Jeffrey's expression became solemn, "It's not long since we set off, and we've already run into trouble?"

"It fits Murphy's Law very well." Lu Yu complained, "What is coming will come."

There was no shelter on the beach. Although they were far away, Lu Yu still easily saw the appearance of the people who landed on the island.

"They look... so strange." Sera and Lulu reacted exactly the same.

Even the well-informed Jeffrey had never seen such a "fish man".

They have thin and long limbs growing on their fish bodies, and their mouths are thin and sharp, extending forward like a sharp awl, almost as long as the head. The fins on their backs sway as their bodies move, like flags fluttering in the wind.

Unlike the half-human fishmen of Mera, the strange fishmen in front of them were so uncoordinated that they looked like they had their limbs photoshopped in. They looked out of place from beginning to end.

"They've discovered us, too," Lu Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of things that looked like sailfish spirits stepped out of their two slender thighs that could break if they fell, and ran towards them.

The strange posture made Lu Yu feel like he was in a dream.
