#131 - Strange changes in spells
After arriving on the Sea Serpent, Mu En was stopped by the veterans just as he was about to approach the large crate near the entrance to the ship's hold.
"Wait, you can't afford to have anything happen to you right now!"
The veterans who had participated in the war were well aware that anything unexpected could happen on the battlefield at any time.
And Mu En was not only the commander of this battle, but also the most promising junior in their eyes.
Therefore, under no circumstances would they allow Mu En to approach dangerous places.
Zalan had the same idea, but after boarding the ship, he first went to finish off all the pirates on the deck.
Finally, when he returned with a long knife still dripping with blood, he looked at Mu En with satisfaction.
"Very good, I thought you would be too proud and careless to approach."
Mu En didn't answer; he had indeed wanted to get close to the large wooden crate that the pirates below were constantly shaking.
"Now that they've burrowed into the tunnel, let's use the old method."
The soldiers of the Gracia Federation were very experienced in dealing with tunnel warfare.
After Zalan said this, the veterans instantly understood that they were going to use smoke.
After slightly moving a portion of the crate on the hatch, Zalan chiseled a bowl-sized hole in the wooden planks.
The veterans then found some gunpowder barrels that hadn't been fully burned, opened them, and poured out the powder inside.
They wrapped some yellowish powder in damp old clothes, lit it, and threw it directly into the ship's hold.
The veterans cooperated tacitly, and after doing all this, they stood aside and waited quietly.
"Cough, cough, cough! We surrender, we surrender."
"Quick, cover it up, don't throw any more, we surrender!"
In less than ten minutes.
The pirates inside the ship's hold couldn't hold on any longer, and they began to frantically knock on the hatch again.
Zalan didn't agree to open the hatch directly, but nodded only after the voices of the pirates inside had subsided a lot.
Bang!
After the hatch was opened, a cloud of thick smoke immediately billowed out.
Then, pirates began to emerge one after another.
"We surrender, cough, cough ~"
The pirates who climbed out of the hatch were immediately met with the butts of the crew's guns before they could catch their breath.
They were knocked unconscious one by one, and then tied up with ropes.
"Is there anyone else below?"
After the last pirate climbed up, Zalan asked, holding his knife to his neck.
"No...., uh, yes, yes, yes!"
"Is there or isn't there!"
"Yes, there are some vermin... I mean, the slaves you're talking about, and the captain and his confidants have all hidden in the powder magazine."
After getting the answer from the pirate, Zalan directly knocked him unconscious.
"A few of us good hands will go down, first control the slaves, and then find an opportunity to take care of the pirate leaders."
After Zalan finished speaking, he looked at Gold and Mu En.
Gold naturally needed to provide some manpower, while Mu En had to stay on the ship obediently.
"No, controlling the slaves isn't difficult, but if the pirates occupy the powder magazine, it will be very troublesome."
Mu En knew that Zalan didn't want him to go down, thinking of his safety.
But watching Zalan and the veterans try to solve something that was obviously impossible, he naturally wouldn't allow it.
"No, you...."
"You have to trust me once; I'm the one you trained."
Hearing Mu En's unquestionable tone, Zalan hesitated slightly and could only reluctantly agree.
"Okay, I'll go down first!"
The internal structure of the Sea Serpent was far more complex than that of the Thistle; it had a deck for rowing oars between the two layers of the hold.
It was also here that Zalan and Mu En discovered many slaves with iron chains on their hands and feet.
Almost none of these people had complete clothes on; they were either bare-chested or had their legs exposed.
After Mu En entered this cramped hold, he found that the slaves couldn't make too many movements at all.
Very short and exceptionally sturdy iron chains only allowed them to make movements for rowing oars and eating.
The sanitary conditions in the hold were very poor. Zalan frowned as he checked around and found no pirates hiding, then they and the others walked towards the powder magazine further below.
The gunpowder and cannons on the Sea Serpent had recently been replaced.
The new gunpowder and cannons had long been moved to the deck and completely blasted by Mu En's [Fire-Starting Curse].
Most of what remained in the powder magazine were some old and outdated gunpowder packs.
When they saw people successively descending to the bottom of the ship's hold, three pirates walked out of a small room, holding fire starters and gunpowder packs.
"Don't come any closer, or we'll all die together!"
Zalan was at the front of the team, and he hadn't put down the bow and arrow in his hand since entering the hold.
Half a step behind him was Lance.
This head guard who escaped from Flowing Cloud City had already gained the approval of most people in the previous battle.
Behind them were Hall and Mu En.
Because Mu En's height hadn't fully developed, his figure was completely obscured by the three people in front.
The team didn't stop advancing because of the pirates' threat.
The pirates were obviously scared at this time. Seeing the people on the opposite side still approaching, they subconsciously wanted to bring the fire starters in their hands closer to the gunpowder packs.
Mu En's incantation sounded again!
[Clear Water as a Spring]
This was one of the life-related auxiliary spells that Mu En had been practicing for two weeks, and he could cast it three times in a row.
Puff~
The flame on the fire starter disappeared, emitting a wisp of green smoke.
Before the pirates could react, three sharp arrows had already been shot out!
Thump~
Thump~
Thump~
The pirates fell one after another.
Zalan quickly ran over and completely stamped out the still-smoking fire starter in the pirate's hand.
But just as Zalan stamped out the fire starter, a gunshot that had never been heard before rang out.
Bang!
Myers was very unwilling; his character was the same as his ship's name.
Sea Serpent.
Waiting for the opportunity, and then launching the most fatal blow!
When he discovered that the magician was just a child, Myers didn't bother to be surprised and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger at Mu En.
Mu En also didn't expect that he would just poke his head out to cast a spell and then be targeted.
Self-preservation! Self-preservation!
When Mu En saw the pirate leader raise his pistol, he knew that no one could help him!
Mu En's brain entered a wonderful state at this moment.
He remembered very clearly that this state had also appeared when he made his first wand.
At that time, he completed an almost impossible task in this state.
At this moment, when this state appeared again, Mu En found that everything around him seemed to be slowing down.
Zalan's roar, Hall's dodge to block, Lance's incredulity...:
These were like being slowed down hundreds of times.
Of course, that included the brass-colored bullet.
It was also at this moment that the [Levitation Charm] spell flashed through Mu En's subconscious.
Under Mu En's practice, this spell could already easily make five anchor iron rings float, and the casting speed was also very fast.
But Mu En was very sure that he didn't say the incantation this time, and the wand was just waved subconsciously.
But this spell really worked!
The rapidly flying bullet began to float and spin upwards one meter away from Mu En.
Then it flew past Mu En's scalp.
Mu En was very grateful that this gun was only aimed at his brow, not his heart.
Ding!
Mu En heard the bullet make a metallic impact sound in the wooden hold.
Then there were Zalan and Hall's shouts!
The strange magical state disappeared, but Mu En had a strange feeling.
He seemed to be a little different~
