"Weigh anchor!"

Ding, ding, ding——

On the three-masted sailboat, four strong men pushed the wooden winch, and the heavy iron chain was recovered and entangled, making a clanging sound between collisions.

After a while, the heavy anchor rose from the bottom of the sea.

Then, the three-masted sailboat gradually started to move.

Colin stood on the raised stern of the boat, staring at the crowded wooden pier not far away, watching it gradually get further away.

Those fanatical crowds crowded the pier nearest to him, as well as the surrounding piers and beaches.

At this moment, she reached out to him emotionally and kept shouting something.

What's more, they even jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards him.

...It seemed like she was sending him off, but also like she was reluctant to leave him.

As the sailboat continues to move forward, the distance becomes farther and farther.

The debris and stones thrown by the crowd could no longer touch the retreating ship.

He waved the Scepter of Folly and removed it to expand Hope's defensive force field.

As the understanding of witchcraft becomes deeper and deeper, there will be more and more changes that wizards can use.

For Colin, when the progress of Hope's defense field reached its limit, it also meant that he had completely mastered Hope's defense field and reached the limit of understanding and understanding.

After breaking through the limits once, his understanding of Hope's defensive force field was even more innovative, and he made his own innovations based on the original ones.

And now, with the blessing of the Scepter of Folly, Hope's defensive force field, which has been upgraded to the power of a formal wizard, has even more uses.

Before that, he could not expand Hope's defensive force field to such a large range.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the middle of the ship, no longer looking at the fanatical crowd at the pier in the distance.

Not far away, Renee was throwing the bodies of several sailors off the sailboat.

Colin looked back.

In my mind, I could see the sailors frantically trying to stop the ship from sailing.

They have turned against the gods...

is his enemy.

Fortunately, after the remaining crew members left the island, they gradually recovered from their confused expressions, and the mental fog on their bodies also stopped dissipating and returned to stability.

As he walked towards Renee, he breathed out the gold paper.

Above, the progress of Hope's defensive force field was as he expected, without much change.

The cost of using the Wand of Folly to cast sorcery is the loss of knowledge.

But under the influence of gold paper, he can cast witchcraft, which will increase his knowledge.

The two obviously cancel each other out.

Specifically, whether it increases more or forgets more.

Mainly depends on the intensity of the increase you want.

At least the witchcraft such as Hope's defensive force field, which is the peak power of the apprenticeship, is upgraded to the intensity of ordinary witchcraft cast by ordinary formal wizards.

The knowledge forgotten is not much, and it is still within the acceptable range.

‘But it still needs to be used with caution.’ Colin warned himself secretly.

Within a certain range of amplification intensity, the Scepter of Folly will give priority to forgetting the relevant knowledge of the witchcraft it casts.

If it exceeds this range.

That not only means completely forgetting the witchcraft just cast, but also randomly forgetting any knowledge.

The scope of this arbitrary knowledge includes not only witchcraft knowledge, but also any other knowledge, even concepts, cognition...

For wizards, certain important concepts and cognitions have been forgotten in this world.

Not only may it lead to confusion in the underlying logic and collapse of three perspectives,

It will even cause the aura of humanity and knowledge to collapse, leading to being polluted and alienated by oneself.

"Master." Renee greeted him respectfully when she saw him coming.

Colin nodded slightly.

With a thought, the scepter with dark gold patterns dissipated and turned into golden patterns attached to his right arm.

He looked at Renee.

The blonde girl is still as delicate and beautiful as before.

At this moment, under his gaze, she stroked the blond hair beside her ear uncomfortably.

Colin's face was calm, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked again:

"Where's Arthur? Why didn't you see him?"

Renee shook her head and replied:

"Master, Arthur sent Renee and I to the east dock of the city before. After making an appointment to pick us up in the evening, he left alone again."

"I don't know where I went."

Colin paused and nodded slightly.

No wonder I didn’t see my familiar carriage on the beach before...

As for where Arthur went.

He also knew it well——

It's nothing more than a tavern...or a brothel.

Although he did not restrain his slaves too much, he still had some knowledge of their whereabouts.

Renee usually stays at home, either trying to develop new dishes, practicing her cooking skills, or playing with Demi.

As for Arthur, perhaps because he had a monthly salary, he would go to the pub once in a while.

Colin knew all this and didn't care.

Anyway, just make sure you do your job well and don't cause trouble for him.

It's a pity that now...

'It's useless to think too much.'

Colin shook his head, turned around and walked towards the captain's cabin.

The captain's cabin is simply decorated, with a large log-colored table in the middle, a triangular pattern carpet on the floor, and some fixed shelves and sundries next to it.

Colin swept aside the clutter on the table, and with a thought, he took out the sea chart he had bought with a lot of money from his storage ring.

Place it on the table and unfold it flat.

He first found the location of Blackstone Island on the sea map, and then based on the information given by Erica, he worked hard to find the location of the Holy Flame Kingdom.

Not long after.

He then found the Siya continent where the Holy Flame Kingdom is located in the upper left corner of the chart.

According to the ruler on the chart, the sailing distance between Black Rock Island and the Siya continent is about 10,000 nautical miles.

At the current speed of this sailing ship, it will take about half a year to arrive.

At this time.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Colin looked up from the chart.

Renee walked in with a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a vest.

"Master, this is the second officer on the ship. He wants to see you for something."

Colin nodded, looked at the second officer who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"Say it."

The second mate's body trembled and he said tremblingly:

"Sir, I'm here to ask you...where is our sailing destination and where are we sailing to?"

Colin did not answer immediately. He lowered his head and looked at the chart again.

After a moment, he raised his head and asked:

"Do you know Bananca Island?"
