Chapter 941: 294. Winning on three fronts
“Gentlemen, calm down, what do you want to do on my boat?”
In the control room of the magic yacht.
Hadley Grant, while controlling the magic yacht with a liquid palm, glanced nervously at the unfamiliar wizards standing to his left and right.
About 10 minutes ago, he was piloting his magic yacht out to sea to hunt for treasure, as he always did.
Before boarding, he had specifically checked the ship’s alarm matrix.
The alarm matrix was operating normally and had not issued any alerts.
...
But after boarding, Hadley was startled by the sudden appearance of two figures in the cabin.
He instinctively reached into his magic pouch to retrieve his magic wand for self-defense.
But the two men were much faster than him.
The human male wizard with brown hair on his left tossed a magic stone ball that suppressed energy fluctuations into the air.
An invisible anti-detection magic barrier unfolded, encompassing the three people on the scene.
The stone wizard, with gray-white skin and rocky spikes all over his body, flicked his wrist and shot a gray rock and soil energy at Hadley.
Suddenly, Hadley’s neck, wrists, and ankles were encircled by gray stone lock chains like thorns.
He found himself stuck in mire, with the process of drawing mana from the Spiritual Ocean becoming unusually difficult and sluggish.
In this state, let alone casting spells, even activating the protective arrays on his magic robe was a strenuous task.
Hadley’s good mentality, cultivated during past deep sea adventures, successfully helped him out.
In half a second, he understood his situation and connected it to the secret letter he had received a few days ago.
His hand in the magic pouch twisted a bit, let go of the magic wand, and instead grasped a magic crystal.
As he squeezed hard, the magic crystal shattered.
His hand was also forcibly pulled out of the magic pouch due to the pull of the magic stone lock.
Fortunately,
before his hand left the magic pouch, the crystal fragments had already slipped through his fingers.
And those two with ill intent only took away his magic pouch,
they might have worried about traps inside the pouch and didn’t force the magic lock open to check the contents.
“Just keep steering your boat, Hadley Grant,” said the human male wizard to Hadley’s left with an impatient tone,
“Once we get to the Deep Sea Zone, we will naturally tell you our purpose. Don’t think of secretly notifying the Island Affairs Department. If you dare to make a false move, don’t blame us for being rude…”
As he spoke, the human wizard jabbed Hadley’s ribs hard with his sharp wand.
The spell, crafted from unknown stones, was as sharp as a dagger and easily pierced through Hadley’s magic robe.
“Rip~” The magic robe was torn open.
“Hiss…” Hadley sucked in a breath of cold air in pain, shivering as he said,
“Hold on, mate! Let’s talk this out! Who exactly are you people?!”
Hadley scanned left and right in slight panic, his gaze sweeping over both the human wizard and the stone wizard.
The two figures were dressed in black cloaks, their heads covered with black hoods, and their faces hidden behind metal masks that blocked detection.
The human wizard had wrapped himself so tightly that little skin was visible, making it difficult for Hadley to guess his origin.
But the stone wizard’s unique body composition provided Hadley with some clues.
The stone spikes on his skin pushed against the surface of his robe, making him look like a dull, gray hedgehog.
The skin exposed to the air was as gray as if dusted with lime.
Spikes, stone…
These were the external characteristics of a rock bone magician!
The secret letter received a few days ago really hit the mark!
There were indeed rock bone magicians coming to trouble him recently!
A bitterness welled up in Hadley’s heart, but then he felt somewhat relieved.
Thank goodness he had crushed the magic crystal that came with the letter in time; he should be able to receive assistance from the Island Affairs Department… noveldrama
“Focus on steering your boat! Hadley Grant! Do you want to suffer?”
Seeing Hadley’s eyes darting everywhere, the human wizard raised his wand and poked again with it.
“Hiss…”
Hadley sucked in the cold air, keeping his eyes fixed squarely ahead, not daring to let his mind wander again.
He could only pray in his heart for the Island Affairs Department to come to his rescue quickly…
He had thought about using the liquid palm to trigger the alarm matrix, to summon an Enforcement Wizard from the Island Affairs Department.
But the problem was, some bizarre magic interfered with the operation of the alarm matrix, preventing it from emitting either the alarm sound or the lights.
Hadley had no choice but to temporarily cooperate with the two of them.
Time passed in excruciating increments.
Following the directives of the two men, Hadley steered the boat onto a seldom-traveled sea lane.
After sailing west for over an hour, the two men ordered Hadley to stop the boat.
The magic image on the nautical instrument indicated that the boat had entered the region of the Blackfold Sea, right on the edge of this sea area.
If the Starfall Sea to the south of the Suman Archipelago is a holy place for seeking Dragon clan treasures, then the Blackfold Sea to the west all the way to Alchemist Island is an excellent place for hunting deep sea beasts.
The Blackfold Sea, stretching from the Suman Archipelago to Alchemist Island, could be described as being dotted with deep sea beast lairs.
On this journey, Hadley recalled even more of the content from the secret letter.
He increasingly felt that the writer of the letter had prophetic insight.
He was attacked on the magic yacht, he was coerced to pilot the boat to the Blackfold Sea, and among those who came, there was a rock bone magician…
