Extraordinary Puppet Master

Among the thirteen unlucky people on the beach, only two were at the professional level and the others were all apprentices.

When they were picked up on the ship, the Blue Bird immediately set sail as quickly as possible, not wanting to stay here for a moment longer.

After a while, no pirate ship was found chasing after them. It seemed that it was not pirates fishing, which made Giseon and the others relieved.

The thirteen castaways also consciously took out one hundred and thirty spiritual gold coins after boarding the ship.

After a while of communication, we learned that they were also a caravan heading to the Princess Carmen, but they encountered pirates at the back and the ship was broken into two pieces.

Only the thirteen of them were lucky enough to follow half of the bow of the ship and land on a debris island.

Thorne just glanced at it and stopped paying too much attention, turning his attention to the island.

It was still undetectable when it was far away, but after close observation, he could clearly see the signs of the island moving, but the speed was very fast, and it could only drift westward for about five or six hundred meters per day.

This magical phenomenon immediately aroused his curiosity, but no matter how he observed Thorne, he found nothing. It was as if the island was drifting naturally without any external force.

Unable to see anything more, Thorne stopped worrying and quickly returned to the cabin to start teaching little Gissen today.

This episode did not affect the Blue Bird's voyage. On the fifth day after leaving Princess Carmen, the steam freighter arrived at a small fixed island.

This island is a neutral port, but its area is not very large. There is only one small town with more than 3,000 people.

After arriving at this neutral port, most of the people on board disembarked.

Gissen plans to sell some of the goods here and see if other goods can be brought in, while the crew members go to the town to relax.

The thirteen rescued victims also said goodbye to the Blue Bird crew. After arriving at the fixed island, they had their own way to return to their own chamber of commerce.

In addition to a few remaining crew members on the ship, only Xiaojison and Thorne did not disembark.

The two stood on the deck and looked at the busy port. Thorne even saw some aliens.

Nagas with snake-like bodies and tails with multiple pairs of arms, short New World natives, murlocs with scaly skin, and even the Vampires and Skavens whom Thorne was very familiar with.

Different races communicated with each other so familiarly, and there was no trace of unfamiliarity. This scene could not be seen in the old continent.

In addition to the ships and various alien races in the port, he also saw a rugby-shaped steam airship soaring in the sky, blowing out exhaust gas.

"Teacher Yolin, these are passenger airships. The carrying capacity of airships is very small, no more than steam freighters. They are generally only used for passenger transportation. These airships have fixed routes. Our family also rented two airships."

After getting along with him for this period of time, Xiao Jisen gradually changed his name from Mr. to Teacher. Thorne had no objection. The quality of this student was still very good.

After seeing Thorn turn his attention to the airship in the sky, little Gisori also began to introduce it to him.

In the Broken Sea, airships generally serve as air buses, traveling to and from various fixed islands along fixed routes.

The sky is much safer than the sea, but the ability to transport cargo is somewhat limited.

An airship can only carry an average of three to four hundred tons of cargo, which is pitiful compared to a steam cargo ship that can easily carry thousands or tens of thousands.

However, if it only transports people, it is still a very qualified means of transportation.

When the airship passed overhead, little Gissen felt a little dry. He took the water bag from his waist and took a big gulp.

At this time, Thorne looked at him and asked curiously: "Everyone has disembarked and went to the town to relax. Why don't you go play with them?"

Xiao Jissen took a look at the town. In fact, he also wanted to get off the boat and play, but...

"I still need to seize the time to learn from you!"

Thorne also smiled after hearing his answer: "Very good, I am very satisfied with you as a student. I haven't given you a gift since we got on the ship. Let this leaf serve as a belated meeting gift."

As he spoke, he took out a leaf picked from the data banyan tree and handed it over.

After hearing Thorne finally admit that he was his student, little Giseon felt excited. He suppressed his excitement and took the leaves.

I saw fluorescent lights flickering on the surface of the leaves, reflecting row after row of densely packed text.

"Put a ray of spiritual power deep into the leaves."

After listening to Thorne's words, Xiaojisun immediately followed suit, and a large amount of information immediately appeared in his mind.

It took a while for the dizzy little Gisori to adapt, and his face became shocked.

What is recorded in the leaves is a set of detailed text explanations, which are the rare runes of the Second Age that he usually ponders.

"This set of runes comes from a school called 'Mirror Shadow' in the Second Era. The runes you have mastered are very scattered and unsystematic. They should have been copied from some extraordinary item, right?"

Sonnder's words made Xiaojisun's face startled, and his expression became a little unnatural for some reason. He immediately gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

"Yes, that is an ancient cursed object. Teacher, please wait a moment and I will take it out for you to see."

After saying that, he ran towards the captain's cabin in a hurry. Thorne stood there and just smiled and shook his head.

After a while, little Jissen came back panting, with a round bronze mirror the size of a palm in his hand.

"Teacher, this is the mirror."

Thorne took the bronze mirror handed over by Xiao Jisen and looked at it carefully.

The bronze mirror is very heavy. The main part is made of fine copper obtained by refining a large amount of brass. The frame is made of precious mithril.

There is a circle of runes engraved on the frame, but less than half of the runes are completely damaged, affecting the power of the bronze mirror.

Unlike ordinary extraordinary items, this bronze mirror exudes a strange and cold atmosphere.

This is not an orthodox alchemical creation, but a cursed object.

Cursed objects are mostly antiques left over from ancient times.

Before an extraordinary person dies, he may experience extreme emotions that cause his soul or resentment to attach to extraordinary items and cause unknown changes.

Under the erosion of time, extraordinary items not only do not decay, but also absorb free spirituality to gradually improve their quality.

The abilities of cursed objects that have been successfully mutated over a long period of time are weird and far more powerful than some alchemical creations of ordinary quality, but they are more or less accompanied by various side effects.

The side effects of cursed objects can be large or small, and are generally not something that a trainee-level transcendent can bear, but there is no doubt that the more powerful the cursed object is, the greater the side effects will be.

The Story Pen in Carlin's hand, as the possession of the evil spirit Raymond, was actually a cursed object, but it was later completely purified by him using the Philosopher's Stone and the Marionette to form a formation, and it no longer had any side effects.

The bronze mirror in Thorn's hand is not a possession of the evil spirit, but the resentment of the original owner still lingers on the mirror, and you have to suffer the side effects if you want to use it.

Apart from the story, this is the first time Carlin has seen a real cursed object, and he is very curious about it.

When he was still in the Old Continent, before the second spiritual revival, all professional levels were considered rare animals, and cursed objects were almost extinct.

After his second spiritual resurgence, he spent most of his time at home, had not experienced a few battles, and had never encountered an enemy using cursed objects.

Now seeing this bronze mirror also aroused his curiosity.
