I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 301

Chapter 301 The Storm and the Sirens

The blue waves are rippling and the sun is shining brightly.

The Mermaid has set sail and has been sailing south for two days.

Following the north wind, the merchant ship moved forward at a very slow pace. Standing on the deck, Li Si could feel that the sea breeze blowing on his face had become much warmer.

 Because the route to the Berdych Kingdom has not been fully developed, and all the merchant ships and sailors in Ward City do not have much experience in deep-sea navigation, the [Mermaid] mainly heads south not far from the coast.

Occasionally, land can be faintly seen on the distant skyline.

However, most of the areas within sight are desolate wilderness, basically uninhabited by humans, and are a paradise for various magical beasts and extraordinary creatures.

 The Mermaid will not choose to dock unless it is absolutely necessary.

 Helen, who had stayed in the cabin for two days, could not hold back and followed Li Si carefully to the deck to relax.

 Looking at Helen's appearance, Li Si already had a rough guess in his mind.

Maybe Helen arrived in Ward City via a merchant ship before, but judging from her frightened look, it probably wasn't a good experience.

He used to be a mercenary, and he chose to join the Mermaid on his last voyage. In his words, his previous life in the Kingdom of Dillon was too boring, and he was fascinated by the endless secrets of the sea.

There are not many mercenaries on the [Mermaid]. After the last voyage, Captain Loren determined that most of the low-level mercenaries were of no use and would consume a lot of supplies. It would be better to bring more sailors. More practical.

  There is a rather special existence, that is the mercenary Aivar.

At the railing on one side, Charles and some people were chatting with the resting sailors. Li Si heard clearly that they were either talking about where the wine was good or where the beauties were.

First mate Ladd is a serious-looking man, tall and thin, with pale skin. He is an authentic Dillon man. I heard that he has been to the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych. A period of sea voyage experience.

Needless to say, captain Laurent is the most trusted person of the Milne Chamber of Commerce. He was once the captain of the Milne Chamber of Commerce caravan and was very powerful. He followed the Milne caravan through the Luoxue Mountains to the Kingdom of Fes many times. Naturally, we also know a lot about the conditions in other countries.

Li Si did not choose to ask Helen. Time would smooth away all the pain until Helen came out of the pain and took the initiative to choose to be honest with Li Si.

 Otherwise, simply relying on absorbing magic power from all around will not be able to meet the consumption of the magic ship.

The second mate Naveen is a nice old man with a smile. I heard from Mance that the previous second mate died unexpectedly during the last voyage. This is a newcomer specially arranged by the Milne Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what he did before, but he just looked kind. He humbly asked others for advice, but he quickly became very happy on the ship.

Before the [Self-Charging Magic Pattern] was popularized, that kind of ship consumed too much magic power, unless a legendary mage could open and fix the space passages to the four elemental planes on the ship to obtain the needed magic.

It seems that Aivar has a special ability, which should be a special kind of magic, but the power is a little weak.

There are naturally more advanced magic ships in the world of Gaia. That kind of ship even requires only a few people to operate normally, but that is not what Ward City and the Kingdom of Dillon have access to now.

On the last voyage to the Berdych Kingdom, this first mate played a very important role. Among the entire crew of the "Mermaid", he was the person with the most rich and experienced sea navigation skills and experience. This also proved that Milne The Chamber of Commerce's value in hiring him with a high salary.

Li Si looked at the short figure sitting on the bow not far away. There was a hazy, holy and majestic aura surrounding him.

　　Not a priest of the Storm Lord, but he has the divine power of the Storm Lord.

During the past few days of travel, although Li Si did not take the initiative to talk to others, he roughly got to know the main characters on the "Mermaid".

 Except for several high-level silver and bronze mercenaries headed by Charles, Captain Laurent did not hire any other mercenaries.

　　Listen to Mance, this Aivar is a local mercenary hired by the captain in Dana Port. He has considerable maritime navigation experience. At the same time, he is also a believer of the Storm Lord and has some simple but practical special abilities.

Mance, the third mate, was the one Li Si met when he boarded the ship on the first day. He was very enthusiastic. Especially after a little "discussion" with Li Si on the first night, his attitude became even more friendly.

 If there is no sea breeze, some sailors are still needed to paddle forward, so there are not many sailors on the entire ship.

 In addition, there are many low-level sailors on the ship, and they are also equipped with carpenters, doctors, chefs, etc. It is considered a quite luxurious merchant ship.

 Other than that, there are some useless boasts about his past adventures.

 It happened that the crew and sailors also liked to listen to it. After all, the experience of sailing on the sea was too boring, so they could only have some fun this way.

Charles would avoid Li Si at first, but later he found that Li Si didn't do anything to him. Before, he was just scaring himself, but then he relaxed and occasionally said hello to Li Si.

Li Si's life has been quite regular these two days. He has long been familiar with the dullness of sea voyages and makes full use of every bit of time.

 Meditate to conceive new arcane models. When you are tired, go out for a walk to stretch your muscles and beat Mance.

It can only be said that this former mercenary, now the third officer, is indeed a representative of repeated defeats and repeated defeats. He is bruised and swollen every day but looks happy. If his strength is not improving every day, Li Si thought he was a masochist.

The competition between Li Si and the third mate was not away from the crowd, but on the deck directly in front of the ship. Every time they competed, there were many people watching.

 Watching the stern third officer get beaten up was an interesting diversion for the sailors.

The captain and other boatswain also watched the discussion between the two from time to time. While watching the fun, their respect for Li Si also grew invisibly.

 Especially among the mercenaries who valued strength, they all believed that Li Si was the strongest on the ship.

At the same time, I can't help but wonder why this big boss, who may have gold-level strength, took a child to the Berdych Kingdom by boat?

 Escape?

The nobles who fled during the turmoil in Ice Peak City?

It's not surprising that they thought so. Li Si's temperament did not look like that of an ordinary mercenary, and Helen was a delicate and cute little girl wearing a princess dress. These made them involuntarily move closer to the aristocracy.

Just when most people on the ship were taking a break, Aivar, who was sitting on the bow of the ship, suddenly stood up and shouted to Captain Lauren on the deck who was determining the course:

 “The storm is coming, hurry up!”

 Storm?

 Many sailors who boarded the ship for the first time were a little confused and looked up at the huge sun and cloudless sky above their heads.

 It doesn't look like there's going to be a storm, right?

However, Laurent, Mance and others were not careless. They immediately organized people to lower the sails and fixed the boxes and other objects on the deck with ropes.

On the way back from Dana Port, Aivar's performance had verified the truth of his premonition, and no one would question his prediction anymore.

Li Si is not surprised. It is not surprising that a guy with the aura of the Storm Lord's divine power can predict storms.

Looking at the fact that there seemed to be no need for his help on the deck, Li Si avoided the busy sailors and returned to the cabin.

The weather on the sea is always unpredictable, especially strong winds and heavy rains, as well as huge waves. This is a test that all ships at sea need to face.

The busy sailors suddenly discovered a gloomy black color in the sky far to the south, and quickly moved towards the Mermaid. Everyone speeded up their movements. The experienced old people led the newcomers to do reinforcement work, trying to make the ship safer in storms.

 Now we are on the sea. If the ship sinks in a storm, there may not be many people who can survive.

Li Si took Helen back to the cabin. Helen was a little scared and her face turned pale.

"What's wrong?"

Li Si looked at Helen's somewhat ugly expression.

"nothing."

  Helen recalled in her mind that the pirate ship she was on also sank in the same storm.

Helen never wanted to experience the feeling of her whole body sinking in the cold, dark water again.

Li Si looked at Helen's tightly squeezing little hands, thought for a moment, and put his right hand on Helen's white forehead.

 Zero Ring Trick [Resistance Increase]!

 A faint white light enveloped Helen's body, and her tight little face relaxed a little.

This is a spell that can increase Helen's basic resistance, and can also simply relieve Helen's tense spirit.

 To be honest, in this situation, the priest's skills are best used.

For example, [Blessing] and [Cloak of Courage] can very well alleviate Helen's current situation.

But Li Si doesn't know how!

Although Li Si can learn the skills of a priest, he currently does not even have a skill of a priest.

This is also because the priest's skills are not a high priority for him. If you want to learn the priest's skills, the easiest way is to join the Church of the Gods and offer your faith to the gods.

  But that would take a lot of time and energy for Li Si. Priest players in previous lives need to pass a three-month test before they can officially inherit the magic.

 However, compared with players who have chosen other professions, the resources obtained by joining the Church of the Gods are more abundant and stable, and the gap in the early stage can be quickly made up.

Although they don't know how the gods determine whether their beliefs are pious or not through tests.

Rather than waste time like that, Li Si planned to find the [Lost Holy Church] hidden under the yellow sand by Azus, the **** of fantasy and knowledge. The records of divine magic there are quite comprehensive, and the magical information recorded there They are all engraved on special stone tablets, so there is no need to worry about others discovering them in advance.

Soon, the sound of crackling rain fell on the wooden planks of the hull. The dense sound of rain, wind and waves covered up everything else.

Dark clouds have covered the entire sky. The beautiful weather not long ago seemed to be an illusion, and the sky seemed to be gloomy and about to collapse.

The huge waves had already touched the small window of Li Si's cabin, and the salty sea water poured in through the cracks in the window, soaking the quilt on the bed.

The Mermaid also rose and fell with the huge waves. The feeling of falling from the top of the waves to the bottom of the valley was really uncomfortable, and it was so wobbly that it was impossible to stand firm.

However, I could feel that there was no big problem with the Mermaid. The experienced Li Si soon noticed that the ship was following the momentum of the huge waves to absorb the impact, instead of resisting the violent storm and huge waves.

At the same time, the entire hull of the ship was also covered with a layer of faint blue light, which invisibly absorbed a lot of the force of the huge waves.

 This should be Aivar's ability, but I didn't expect him to be able to do this.

People with this kind of ability are the most popular ones on the sea. How could they be hired by the "Mermaid"?

Li Si stood in the cabin. Although the ship was bumping, his body remained relatively still with the cabin.

It can be seen that the muscles of Li Si's body are adjusting with the changes in the different directions of the hull. This is also an exercise to exercise body control.

As for Helen, Li Si casted [Levitation Technique] on her, so as long as she held on to the bed tightly, she would be fine.

 Storms on the sea come and go quickly!

The entire storm lasted only an hour and then left in a hurry.

  The clouds have left, and the entire sky has returned to its beautiful blue color.

 Helen had fallen asleep tiredly, and Li Si walked onto the deck after closing the door.

The soaked sailors were cleaning up the mess on the deck, while Loren and Mance were discussing something.

 Everyone looked excited, and successfully weathering the storm was a small achievement in their eyes.

 “Guys, hurry up and pack up, we will grill fish and drink wine tonight!”

Captain Laurent said loudly to the sailors that they always need to relax after hard work.

There is no better pastime than wine at this time!

"okay!"

 “The captain is wise!”

 Hearing this, the sailors moved their hands a little faster.

Rolen turned around, saw Li Si's figure, and walked over with a smile.

Just as he was about to say hello to Li Si, Lauren's raised right hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

A dreamy and beautiful nature song came from nowhere and enveloped the entire "Mermaid".

 Lauren's face showed a look of longing and struggle, and the same situation also appeared on the other people on the deck.

  [You are affected by the [Siren's Charming Song] effect of Siren (LV67)! ]

 [[Siren's Charming Song]: The siren's song has a strong ability to confuse. Creatures within the range of its singing must pass a Will test, otherwise they will be affected by a charm spell equal to the siren's level]

 [You accept the [Siren's Charming Song] consciousness determination! ]

  [Determining.]

 [The effect of your specialty [Blessing of Styx] is triggered! The [Strong Soul] state (unconditional exemption from one will judgment) takes effect! ]

  [You are exempt from the consciousness check of [The Siren's Charming Song]! ]—

Sirens?

Li Si only fainted slightly and then recovered.

Looking at the people around them who were intoxicated, Lauren and Mance, who seemed to have silver-level strength, were still resisting the effect of the Siren's song. The sailors and mercenaries with lower strength had no resistance at all and slowly moved toward them. Walk to the side of the boat.

  If I were not here, this would be a direct annihilation of the group!

Li Si took out the emerald staff and lightly smashed it on the deck.

 Sixth ring spell [Group Human Immobilization Technique]!
