Chapter 132: Going north (Part 2)

"I have told you what I want you to do, and there is nothing else." Jason thought for a while and then reminded him: "Try not to provoke people from the Holy See before you become a magician."

Salin nodded. He understood the teacher's idea. After becoming a level 7 magician, the magician can fly freely. A level 6 magician can also fly, but its speed and altitude are very limited. If he becomes a level 7 magician, as long as he does not fall into the enemy's trap, he can still run if he can't beat it.

Salin can fly now, but the altitude and speed of flight are not as good as Rex, not to mention comparing with the Magician. Jason was worried that Salin could fly, so he went to trouble the Holy See.

The warship on Srieg Island is a hundred meters long and must be started with a magician. Jason assigned a fifth-level mage, a fourth-level mage and six third-level mages to each ship, which is not a problem to travel day and night. If this battleship is made by a nobleman of the Qinin Empire, the gold coins required will definitely cost more than one million.

A war horse is just a dozen gold coins. The cost of this warship can buy 100,000 war horses. It can be said that the fleet is the most expensive army. Moreover, like the cavalry unit, the cavalry's war horses consume forage, and the magic-powered warships need to consume magic cores. The daily maintenance consumption is not lower than that of the cavalry.

This is not the most expensive warship. Yunliu's main warship is more than 200 meters long and costs more than 10 million gold coins. Only a huge empire can support such a fleet, and ordinary nobles can only sigh.

Salin suddenly got three warships, which seemed like a nouveau riche. The concealed oars of the warship moved and slowly drove out of the gate of Srieg Island. The pirate ship slowly rowed out of the reef pile. Salin asked Rex to take Neris to get the Roll Turtle Alchemy Ship.

Rex got on the pirate ship and realized that the alchemy ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by the pirates. Fortunately, Salin was careful in the calculations and the sea water near the island was very shallow. Rex returned to the battleship, took six third-level magicians, sneaked into the seabed, and drove the Round Turtle Alchemy ship directly to follow Salin's fleet.

The speed of magic warships can be increased to eighty miles during combat, and the cruise speed is about fifty miles. It is difficult for pirate ships to follow behind. The Cang Turtle Alchemy Ship can only barely maintain this speed underwater [Note]. The magicians who boarded the Cang Turtle Alchemy Ship were very excited. Srieg Island also tried to make underwater warships, but there are always various problems that cannot be solved. For example, speed and the pressure that the warships bear underwater. The most troublesome thing is the life span. If you want the underwater warships to be able to last for decades or even hundreds of years like surface ships, the cost will be ridiculously high.

If the cost is high, Srieg Island can also bear it. Maintenance is the most troublesome thing. The magician of Srieg Island has calculated that it costs more to build a thirty-meter-long underwater warship than to build a main warship, and the maintenance cost is ten times that of the main warship.

Therefore, there are only a few underwater ships worth more than ten meters long in Srieg Island, and most of them are parked in the port. Such ships are dangerous when encountering monsters in the sea. They can only cruise near the island and cannot enter the deep sea. The hull of the Cang Turtle Alchemy ship is directly made of an adult Cang Turtle shell, which is more powerful than most metals and is not as heavy as half of the metal. There are many crystals inlaid outside the hull, and behind the crystal is a magic circle. The magic images outside can be seen in the Cang Turtle Alchemy ship. The four sets of magic powered paddles have separate alchemy cabins, even if they damage two, they will not affect their progress.

The magic array in the core control cabin can change the weight of the Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship. If you want to float on the Shanghai surface, you need to consume a large amount of magic cores. If you move forward underwater, the consumption will be much smaller.

Salin stayed on the flagship. Because he was in a hurry, he had not counted the personnel on the battleship. After counting, he realized that he had originally thought it was too simple. Those pirates were indeed not very combat power, and the equipment on these three hundred-meter battleships was what he wanted.

The operation of magic warships is easier than sailing ships, but there are more than 90 sailors, divided into three groups, and rotated day and night. The alchemy machinery that truly drives the warships forward is driven by magic cores. Without magicians, the warships become islands floating on the sea and cannot move forward at all.

There were more than 200 soldiers on the warship. Salin looked at the roster and the standard equipment was 500. Srieg Island could not provide so many swordsmen. More than 200 people could barely maintain combat effectiveness in a boat.

In addition, there are more than a dozen alchemist apprentices on each ship. These apprentices and swordsmen can cooperate to control magic stone cannons, magical alchemist crossbows, and some ordinary magic circles. The four-layer warship has a full capacity of more than 800 people, but now there are only more than 300 people, which seems empty.

The weapons on the warships are also very different from those on land. The spears are more than seven meters long, and the short weapons are mostly knives, which are easy to maintain. There is no wooden composite bow, all of which are metal crossbows equipped with ratchets. These metal crossbows are made of advanced materials and are not easily corroded by the humid air at sea, so they are relatively easy to maintain.

There are also simple puppets on the ship, which are manipulated by magic apprentices to help sailors clean the decks and other work. Each battleship is also equipped with multiple speedboats, with ice storage at the bottom cabin, which can store a large amount of fresh fish and fresh water, etc. The sailors do not live in the bottom cabin, but like all warriors, they live on the first floor. The bottom cabin is occupied by a large number of alchemy machinery. Except for puppets, people are rarely seen.

Salin asked for the drawings of the warship and carefully studied them. He knew that it would be difficult for those pirates to start a magic warship.

However, most sea ships cannot be driven by pure magic power like Alchemy City warships, which is too expensive. These pirates will have some uses in the future.

After studying the structure of the battleship, Salin began to identify the personnel on the battleship. There were magic images on the roster, and the detailed information of each crew member was marked on it.

The magicians on Srieg Island seem to be experienced in managing warriors and do not look like magicians who are not familiar with the world at all. Five ships head north all the way, and every day the magicians pass magic images through magic circles and ask Salin for instructions. Salin just told the warship not to stay and head north all the way.

Despite the vast ocean, Salin was still worried about encountering Yunliu's ship. In terms of performance, his three battleships must have surpassed those of the bronze warships that attacked Srieg Island, and it was not a problem to even have few enemies. Salin was afraid of the giant warship he had seen. The warship was equipped with too many magic stone cannons, and the range was definitely much further than Salin's ships. If he accidentally hit him, the only result was that he was sunk.

In addition to determining the location, the magic compass can also detect enemy situations at a distance of no less than forty miles. After discovering each other at a distance of forty miles, Yunliu's giant warship will definitely send flying puppets to delay the escape speed of the Salin fleet. Even if it is spread apart and escapes, at least one ship will be sunk by Yunliu's giant ship.

So Salin did not dare to stop, nor did he approach Qin Yin's coast, but just moved forward at full speed in the deep sea.

Every day, Salin, in addition to practicing, he opened the city structure drawings given to him by Jason in his cabin and studied them carefully. After studying for a few days, Salin finally realized some tricks. Whether it is Saint Rock City, Alchemy City, or the city designed by Jason, it is essentially a complete huge magic circle.

The city designed by Jason is much smaller than Saint Rock City and Alchemy City, but the principle is the same. What makes Jason designed by Jason is that it relies on thirty-six magic towers to form a huge magic network, which not only improves the power of these thirty-six magic towers, but in the areas controlled by these magic towers, each magician is equivalent to standing in his own magic tower.

Jason woves a magic net with a magic tower, covering the entire city. In this city, the consumption of all magic equipment used is reduced to a minimum and the power is increased several times.

The only flaw of this city is that in order to achieve the effect of this design, there can never be less than thirty-six magicians in the city.

There are only thirty-three magicians on Srieg Island. The Holy Rock City may be able to gather thirty-six, but those magicians will not belong to the same force. If you want to build a city as huge as the Holy Rock City and achieve this effect, you will need at least more than a hundred magicians.

Only when Qin Yin was founded could so many magicians obey one person's orders. Today, on the Meers continent, even within the Holy See, it is impossible to build such an ideal city.

The city was clearly designed for Srieg Island, and Salin finally understood. Only the magicians on Srieg Island are so united, and there is still hope to gather thirty-six magicians.

The teacher is really calculating. Even if Rex builds this city, if he wants to fully exert the combat effectiveness of the city, he still has to rely on the power of Srieg Island.

However, Rex is not at a disadvantage. This drawing is not a one-time one. Once one is built, Rex can build a second one. And with experience, Rex will save a lot of money and time when building the second Magic City. Compared with Holy Rock City, the construction cost of this city is much lower.

At least Salin dares to try to build such a city, and Saint Rock City is unreplicable. Thinking of the towering black walls of Saint Rock City and the huge magic bells scattered all over the city, Salin knew that his power was too weak. It was still very reasonable for the teacher to let him avoid the people of the Holy See.

The straight line distance from Sriger Island to Phoenix is ​​more than 10,000 miles north. Salin's fleet also took a bend and had to walk more than 14,000 miles of sea route to reach. The fleet is moving at a speed of fifty miles per hour every day, and more than a thousand miles a day. That's it, and it took more than half a month to see the land of the Meers continent.

To be precise, this is not land, but just islands that rise outside the land. These islands are composed of tall and steep rocks, and only plants grow in the cracks of the rocks. Now it is almost winter, and the sea breeze is bitter. In addition to black and blue rocks, they are withered plants and trees.
