After waking up

If he wants to get information from Newt, Mullan doesn't need to be as nervous as when facing the Pirate King. It's precisely because he knows Newt very well even though his contact time with Newt is short.

Mullan knew that even if Newt was really busy, as long as he could spare some spare time, he would also take care of other equally important things, such as dealing with a genius who was bound to rise at sea.

So Mullan returned to the dusty utility room, and then asked the pirates near the utility room to find Newt, and called several in a row, and the reasons were very good, and Newt could never ignore them.

In the secret room where the charts were studied, Leo was brought here by Newt and Nido. He was simply tied to an iron chair.

Although Leo looked a little excited at the moment, his body was extremely weak. He hadn't drank water for almost two days, and hadn't eaten anything for almost three days. He had scolded him all the way before, which seemed to be draining his remaining strength. It was all consumed.

'It's really sad that these humanoid monsters don't care at all about my insults.'

Leo felt extremely sad, or did he really want to pretend to be tamed as a slave, and then be sold to those noble ladies, and then find a chance to escape?

Newt looked at Leo's chapped lips and ordered to the person next to him.

"Go get some food and water."

The men immediately followed suit, and not long after, two people entered the secret room with a kettle and some bread with meat, deliberately placing them very close to Leo but out of his reach.

But one of the men whispered in Newt's ear.

"Chief, Vincent is looking for you."

"Ignore it."

"But the messenger said that he had just returned from the king, and asked him to ask you more questions in a more humble manner."

Newt frowned and waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.

Nido on the side looked at Newt.

"The leader asked you to teach Vincent? He really trusts you. How about it? Is that guy's talent really that strong?"

Thinking of Vincent, Newt actually felt a pressure at this moment.

"Indeed, just like his nickname in Ruskina, he is a monster. I am afraid that all the geniuses in the world are not worth mentioning in front of him."

Sure enough, Nido's expression became more serious, which was what Newt wanted to see.

Leo could hear their conversation, but at this moment he was just mocking the pirates in his heart for being frogs in the well. When it comes to genius, who can compare with his brother Mulan.

In Dilga, the praises of Mulan in major newspapers have been exhausted.

"Alright, no matter what else you do, your noble Baronet, Mr. Jonest, please drink some water and eat something."

Newt actually untied Leo himself and then moved the iron chair to the table with one hand.

Leo looked at the tall pirate with slight surprise, but his life was in the hands of others and he had nothing to lose, so he started directly.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”

Leo picked up the kettle and drank the water quickly, then picked up the bread and meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Although their family was a down-and-out noble, even though they had lost their parents since childhood, under the care of Old Buck, he and Mu had never been allowed to live together. Lan suffered from hunger.

But this time, Leo was tortured to the extreme, both physically and mentally.

"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to get more, and then have a good rest here."

After saying that, Newt gestured to Nido and then took him out of the secret room, leaving Leo alone here.

Leo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care much about it, and started eating and drinking more freely. If he wanted to die, haha, why bother poisoning, or just change a cell.

Outside the secret room, Nido frowned and looked at Newt.

"Is it really okay to leave him there alone? Aren't you afraid of him causing damage or committing suicide?"

"He can't destroy anything. As for committing suicide, first of all, his will to survive is not weak. Secondly, even if he wants to commit suicide, he has to do it quickly enough."

Newt took out a crystal and looked through the crystal to see what was going on in the room.

"People like this may not be able to get what they want if they insist on asking. It's better to find another way."

In the secret room, Leo, who was extremely hungry, quickly ate up all the food in front of him, then picked up the kettle to drink water again, and then slumped down on the chair, feeling the feeling of fullness, and fell into a sleepy state.

More than an hour later, Leo woke up. He subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no one there. The light source in the secret room was a high-speed crystal, and there were vents, but there were no other windows.

Leo quickly turned his attention to the table. He stood up holding on to the edge of the table. Just now he noticed something on the table. What he could see clearly at this moment was a broken sea chart.

This map had been torn into many parts and now it has been pieced together completely, but it is obviously not like a treasure map. After all, there is no treasure location marked on it. It is more like an ordinary marine record map.

‘Did they leave it, or did it come from the previous person who was imprisoned here? ’

Nido and Newt outside looked at Leo inside through the crystal. This crystal was connected to the crystal on the top of the secret room, allowing them to observe the situation inside from a bird's eye view.

"He doesn't seem to know anything?" "He certainly doesn't seem to know the charts."

If Leo really didn't know, then things would be in trouble, and Newt couldn't help but feel anxious.

Then at this time, another pirate came over.

"Chief, Vincent is here again."

"Okay, I don't have time to go to him."

Then Newt suddenly glanced at Nido.

"Perhaps you can help me find out what's wrong with him and answer it by the way."

Nido smiled.

"I just want to see Vincent's talent. Don't worry, things at the civilized level can be easily solved."

Nido readily agreed, and after speaking, he looked at the pirate who was delivering the message.

"lead the way."

"yes!"

The two of them soon arrived outside the huge utility room. When Mulan heard the footsteps, he put down his book and raised his head. He found that the person who came was actually Nido, and then his heart moved slightly.

Leo was taken away by Nido, so it is indeed possible that Nido brought him this time. Was Leo hidden by Nido before?

What value could there be in Leo?

Mulan recalled the exchange between him and Kilga. Perhaps the pirate mistakenly thought there was some secret between Leo and Kilga.

What's the matter with Kilga? Recalling that Newt has always said that he has something important to do recently, what this important thing is is already emerging in Mulan's mind.

Secret treasure map!

‘It seems that my teacher Newt hasn’t even studied the nautical charts to understand it. It’s been a long time, right? Look up to you. ’

Mulan figured out all the joints, but his face and thoughts were multi-tasking and showed shock at the same time.

"Chief Nido? Why is it you? Where is Mr. Newt?"

"Hi Vincent!"

Nido leaned against the door and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Newt is very busy. I happen to be there, so I will answer your questions on his behalf. Tell me what you want to know, and I'll tell you."

Mullan smiled, trying to show off and get Newt's attention.

"OK."

Half an hour later, Nido's back was already burning. He found that he could not answer some of Vincent's "basic" questions. The seemingly simple questions were not unreasonable, but pointed to the essence, and he would single out the key part to ask. .

Nido could only barely answer some questions, trying to confuse some questions, but they would come back from other aspects and angles amid Vincent's doubts.

"Leader Nido, according to what you just said, the magic array is like drawing, and magic power is still the decisive factor. So what about time, the influence of double moons, the purity of materials, and the output of magic power is constant? Or should I constantly adjust it in the spell array? If it is too complex, will it be too fragile? How can I keep it constant without the caster? What comprehensive preparations should I make if I want to make a spell array?"

Nido is a more traditional fourth-level transcendent, but facing Vincent at this moment, he felt like sweating. Not to mention the series of complicated problems, he didn't even have the comprehensive preparation required for the spell formation. clear.

"Vincent, your current stage is to familiarize yourself with magic power, constantly improve yourself, and prepare for the advancement of transcendence. Understanding things that are too complicated will only distract your attention!"

Nido said this seriously, directly avoiding all the unanswered questions before. He already wanted to escape from here.

"It doesn't matter. Many questions seem troublesome, but after you understand the principles, they are actually quite simple. So I only ask some theoretical things. It won't distract much attention. The leader also said that I have a natural acumen. intuition."

Mulan replied, and at this moment, Nido felt the genius' malice toward mortals.

"Chief Nido, Lord Newt is looking for you."

A voice at the door was like the sound of nature, rescuing Nido from his endless predicament.

"Okay, I'll be there right away, Vincent. I really want to give you a detailed answer, but it's not convenient right now. I have more important things to do."

After saying that, Nido quickly turned around and left. Mulan stood up behind him and finally spoke loudly.

"Leader Nido, I still have a lot of questions about the magic formation——"

But Nido had already left in a hurry.

Mulan slowly sat back down, Nido and Newt should be able to figure it out.

Not long after, Mulan smiled again, and footsteps came from outside again. This time it was Newt.

"Vincent, come out with me."

Although Nido didn't express his feeling of powerlessness when he returned, he expressed Vincent's sensitivity clearly enough. Newt seemed to have a flash of inspiration at that time. Perhaps what they lacked was the kind of understanding of things related to magic. Sensitivity, especially the intuitive level similar to Vincent.
