Chapter 1337 Looking for Kista
Joan used a drop of blood from the "mythical cockatrice" as a spell-casting material, and performed "transformation", turning into a mythical cockatrice from the cellular level.
The deformation process was successfully completed, but the next part was not so wonderful.
Joan still used the old method and asked Ruby to help him inject an "awakening potion" made with the blood of the mythical cockatrice. state.
The result disappointed him greatly. In the column of "Supernatural Abilities", the three mythological abilities analyzed just now did not appear.
Joan originally thought that it would not be difficult for him to simulate the mythical ability by replacing the "mythical transformation" with the higher-level 4th-level "transformation".
However, it turns out he was wrong.
The 4th level "Transfiguration" is really powerful, but unfortunately the energy level of "Mythical Blood Interpretation" is only equivalent to a 3rd level spell, which seriously hinders it.
Joan has been promoted to a level 7 mage, his spellcasting ability has been raised to a new level, and his horizons have become broader. He feels more and more that the "mythical blood interpretation" that he once regarded as a "stunt" can no longer meet his needs. Falling into an embarrassing situation where you can't get up and down and feel embarrassed.
If Joan wants to keep this mythical spell, he has to spend more time and completely transform it, so as to release a more powerful analysis function.
...
On August 22, Beihai Bay, Baiou Harbor Wharf.
In the afternoon of summer, when the breeze is blowing, the sea surface is shimmering. Most of the ships moored in the port have lowered their white sails. Only the new ships equipped with magic crystal steam engines are still shuttling back and forth amidst the roar of the motors, making them extremely busy.
"Brother Joan, are we going to go to sea by boat next?"
"Miss Ruby", who put on a snow-white princess dress, held Medea's hand, and looked curiously at the ships that were queuing up to leave the port on the opposite side of the trestle bridge.
"If the nautical chart we bought for 5 silver thalers this morning is accurate enough, the voyage from White Gull Harbor to the 'Eagle Island' located in the 'Mermaid Islands' will be nearly 300 nautical miles."
Joan unfolded the nautical chart in his hand and thought about answering.
"In this way, it takes a whole day to take a boat, Ruby, aren't you afraid of seasickness?"
"Oh! That's right, let's teleport it directly!"
Speaking of "seasickness", Ruby's small face immediately wrinkled, showing a disgusted expression.
Joan and the others set off from the port of Midgard in the New World yesterday morning, crossed the "Meteor Ocean", the largest water area in the world of Vales, and came to the North Gulf area in the far northeast. They planned to go to a place in the bay called "Eagle Island" In this place, look for the rare sea beast "Sista", which is said to have been witnessed in the local area, and has the ability to petrify.
From the New World to the North Bay of the Old World, if you travel by boat, you usually need to drift at sea for a month, and you have to pray for smooth sailing along the way and avoid harassment from pirates and monsters, so that you can safely complete the nearly 7,000 nautical mile voyage long journey.
There is also a more convenient way to travel across oceans, which is the "air flight" that has only become popular in the past two years.
Take a new type of magical airship with a cruising speed of up to 100 knots, and set sail from Midgard Harbor to the most prosperous trading city "White Gull Harbor" along the North Bay coast. It only takes four days to complete a one-way transoceanic voyage.
Joan, Medea, and Ruby are all curious people. In fact, they really want to take a magic airship and try this new way of travel.
They rushed to the ticket office at the port to find out how to buy tickets for the airship.
As a result, a bucket of cold water was poured on the head.
"From Midgard Port to Baiou Port, if you buy an ordinary ferry ticket, you can choose any class. There will be a flight as early as this afternoon, and the ticket price will be 20% off."
"However, if you want to take the airship, then I'm sorry, book the ticket one month in advance, and pay a deposit of 500 gold per person - don't think it's expensive, you may not be able to book it yet."
"Why, I have money but can't buy an airship ticket?"
"Yes, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it."
No way, the airship shipping business is still an emerging industry. In the entire Vales world, there are only a handful of airship companies that provide this service.
All the magic airships put into operation by the above-mentioned airship companies add up to less than a hundred.
As far as the Midgard-North Gulf route is concerned, there is only one airship company headquartered in Baiou Harbor that provides transoceanic shipping services, and it is still in the "trial operation" stage. There are only ten magic airships traveling between the two sides of the ocean. .
Ten shipping airships seem to be a lot.
Joan felt that considering the risks of air navigation, in today's conservative society, there are not many people who have enough financial resources to buy expensive air tickets and dare to take the risk of traveling across oceans by airship. It stands to reason that tickets should not be so difficult to buy.
After some more inquiries, I learned that among the ten airships traveling between the two sides of the ocean, eight of them are so-called "postal airships", which are not designed to carry people, but are specially used to deliver letters and parcels.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
In the nascent stage of air transportation, air passenger transportation and air mail are two businesses, compared with the latter, which is less risky and more profitable. The operators and shareholders of the airship company are of course happy to invest more airships in the express delivery industry. As for the passenger transport business, it is actually just an advertising gimmick, which is risky and can't make much money.
Knowing that the so-called airship shipping company is essentially a "express company", Joan, Medea, and Ruby were very disappointed and left the ticket office full of disappointment.
They didn't have time to procrastinate for a month to order airship tickets, and they didn't want to take a boat to slowly dawdle at sea, so they simply adopted a simpler and rougher way of travel, directly casting spells to teleport to North Bay.
Teleportation is not as simple as talking about it.
The straight-line distance from Midgard Harbor to White Gull Harbor in North Bay is nearly 5,000 miles. Medea is the only one who is good at "teleportation" among the three, and can teleport up to 1100 miles per cast.
A simple calculation shows that even if there is no deviation during the transmission, it will take at least five relay transmissions to reach Baiou Harbor on the other side of the ocean.
Medea happened to have five fifth-level spell slots. After jumping five times with Joan and Ruby, she was embarrassed to find that Ruodian was located on the blue sea, and the eastern coastline was looming in the mist.
From their final landing point to the coastline, there is at least a hundred nautical miles away by visual estimation.
Medea has no spell slots for teleportation today. If she casts a spell directly to fly over... Except that Joan can become a hawk and is proficient in long-distance flying, it doesn't matter. Medea and Ruby have never flown so far The distance and physical fitness may not be able to support it.
