After getting out of this weird state, Karl immediately closed the "Marauder's Map". He didn't want to fall into the weird state again.
After completing this action, Karl looked towards Master Gavin.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Without any prelude, a man who ruled the entire island and could even be said to enjoy the status of a king gave up his past accumulation and joined his own team with an uncertain future.
This doesn't sound like a choice that a prudent mage would make.
Facing Karl's doubts, the old mage just smiled slightly.
"Mr. Karl, I have lived for thousands of years."
He immediately told his age, and then the mage began to tell his story.
"In this sea area, I was just an ordinary mage apprentice. Later, after continuous learning and various trials, I finally achieved what I am today. Although I am somewhat boastful, in my personal mystery
I have almost reached the end of my path of learning.”
As the old mage began to talk about his past, a kind of thought called memory began to emerge from his eyes. It was obvious that Gavin also had a very exciting life in the past.
"I have been studying and understanding the world. I came to this island probably hundreds of years ago. In order to explore deeper knowledge, I established a country and then carried out various researches. Unfortunately, my efforts have always seemed to be in vain.
There are no results, and various researches have officially reached a bottleneck."
At this point, Gavin's eyes suddenly became condensed, and then he stared at Karl in front of him, and his tone began to rise little by little:
“To this day”
“To this day!”
"I finally saw a new world open to me. I will not miss this opportunity no matter what, so please allow me to join your team."
"..."
Calling himself "I", this is the first time that this mage has used this pronoun to refer to himself. There is basically no doubt about the seriousness of Gavin's emotions.
Faced with this situation, Karl continued to speak after a moment of silence:
"That is to say, Master Gavin, you came to our ship just to learn knowledge from Naiya or Yug, right?"
"That's right." Nodding in reply to Karl, the old mage stared at the man in front of him for a moment, and at the same time began to explain the bonus he could bring to "Black Pearl", "In addition to learning knowledge, if there is a battle or
I will also contribute my share in other situations, and the addition of a senior mage will definitely not be a bad thing."
Indeed, a mage who can be compared with a mage certified by an evil god like Kolyakin, and who has survived for thousands of years will definitely be a big help to him, but before the official confirmation, Karl still asked one last question
:
"What about this island?"
"Master Gavin isn't planning to completely give up everything here, is he?"
Facing Karl's question, the old mage smiled and replied:
"Don't worry about this. I have a spell called [Gate to the Earth]. No matter where I am, I can come back at any time if I want to. And the guys under me can do it during my absence.
They will also help me manage this land, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
"Karl, everyone has said so, just agree to it."
At this moment, Naia walked in from outside the cabin. She obviously wanted Gavin to join the "Black Pearl". After all, this was a mage who wanted to obtain forbidden knowledge. Under the current circumstances, for her
It can be said that this is almost one of the most advanced toys.
I saw Naiya walking into the captain's room while still supporting Gavin.
Karl did not give a direct answer like this, but picked up the "Marauder's Map" with one hand and threw this precious magic item into the hands of the evil god.
"What's wrong?"
Naia was a little confused after taking what Karl threw.
Karl has used this thing more than once, what is the purpose of throwing it here now?
"Open it and take a look. Yug seems to be doing some experiments just now. Some not-so-good changes have happened on "The Marauder's Map". I almost had a problem just now."
"The Marauder's Map?"
Seeing the exchange between Karl and Naia, Gavin showed the curiosity that a mage should have and immediately looked at Karl in front of him with doubtful eyes.
Seeing the curiosity of the other party, Carl fortunately told the other party directly the use of "Marauder's Map".
"This is a prop we use to detect the environment. Its specific function is..."
After some explanations, Gavin, who learned about the capabilities of the "Marauder's Map", immediately forgot about his request to join the team, and went to inspect the mutated "Marauder's Map" with Naia on the other side.
A mage and an evil god unfolded this prop in this way, and the picture on the page of the book even remained on the picture of the Sea Witch Island. This was due to the fact that Carl had closed it in a hurry and did not operate it normally.
"Wait, isn't this Zola's island?"
As a result, when he first saw the island where the sea witch lived, Gavin screamed out.
"Zola?"
At this time, Naiya and Karl asked at the same time, and their responses were surprisingly consistent.
No one expected that this old mage actually knew this island. Judging from Gavin's reaction, he and the Sea Witch were most likely old acquaintances. At least not even Iida had ever directly mentioned the Sea Witch's name.
Come.
"Do you know the sea witch?"
"Of course." Answering the question, Gavin said with great certainty:
"A long time ago, Zola was a witch who traveled around the world. At that time, we formed a team for a short period of time because of the legend about an artifact. Zora is indeed a being with profound magical power."
After receiving Gavin's confirmation, Karl did not dwell on this matter any longer.
Pointing to the Marauder's Map in front of Naiya, he continued:
"Did you see a thin film on the map? I just glanced at it inadvertently and almost fell into a certain environment. Can you see the clues?"
"film?"
Curiously speaking these two words, Naiya began to explain what he saw:
"Everything is normal on the Marauder's Map. I didn't notice what you said, Karl. Are you sure you weren't dazzled just now?"
"certainly!"
"How could I have seen it wrong!"
Replying to Naiya, Karl carefully turned away from the corner of his eyes.
As a result, the "Marauder's Map" I saw this time really looked ordinary, without any of the special phenomena I saw when I saw it before!
