Real Trouble at Last

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Ironclad Battleship, powered by steam turbines, were more maneuverable than sailing ships, but that was the usual case.

However, this was clearly not the usual situation... The sailing ships besieged by Ironclad Ship were covered with strange, ghastly green patterns, which were like paintings, eerie and twisted.

The sailboat, which was clearly just a wooden ship with rivets, was moving on the sea at an abnormal speed!

All right,

In fact, whether it was Lin Xiaowei, Master Kentji, or Captain Ailun, they were all used to this situation!

If I had to say something, I could only say it's the power of magic!

However, the two mages on the flagship, one of whom was Legendary Mage, did not perceive it as magic in the ordinary sense.

But it doesn't matter! Even if those Pirate Ship have strange performance and are very fast, he is facing Ironclad Battleship!

The smaller destroyers were better suited for close-range mobile strikes, while the flagship and cruisers followed suit, their main and secondary guns firing at the black Pirate Ship! "Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

A torrent of blazing, gleaming metal poured from the cannon barrels and breech, and for a moment the entire sea echoed with a terrifying roar! Brass shell Cartridge Case slid off the turret as if they were free.

Listening to the continuous, roaring sound of the scorching Iron Torrent weaving together into a thrilling metal symphony, Captain Ailun was practically mesmerized...

This is the ultimate romance for men!

Meanwhile, the pale green light surrounding the Pirate Ship in the distance, under the saturation attack, grew increasingly dim.

After examining them for a moment Master Kentji said, "They're almost at their limit."

Lin Xiaowei, with a slight toothache, said, "Absolutely!"

Don't they even know how much ammunition they used up?! "Boom!"

As another main cannon shell was fired and hit the leading Pirate Ship, the ghastly green energy shield covering it quietly dissipated, and the mast of the black Pirate Ship, which was interwoven with ghastly green patterns, was smashed to pieces!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The remaining warships attacked simultaneously, destroying all the remaining ships in the Pirate Ship! However,

The unprotected Pirate Ship continued its frenzied pursuit of the Ironclad Battleship, refusing to stop even after a hole the size of a person had been blasted into its hull! Its speed didn't even decrease significantly.

Lin Xiaowei narrowed her eyes. "Something's weird."

Master Kentji asked, "Do you need any help, Gwenia?"

Lin Xiaowei flatly refused. "No need!"

Then she picked up her portable communicator and ordered Ailun, "Smash them!"

"Receive!"

The attack, which had eased somewhat, became ferocious again, and the Iron Torrent tore through the wooden Pirate Ship like the sharpest blade!

With a series of teeth-grinding creaks, the five Pirate Ship were shattered into several pieces as if cleaved by a giant's axe!

Only then did the Pirate Ship finally stop.

The battle area surrounded by Ironclad Battleship was littered with splinters of wood and pieces of corpses stained with green—these were fragments from the disintegrated Pirate Ship and the Pirate Ship.

These thick, broken pieces of wood were still stained with a ghastly greenish hue...

Lin Xiaowei raised her eyes and looked at the Pirate Ship that was already broken but still had a relatively large main body. That should have been where the ship's cabins were located. However, in the cabins where supplies, ammunition and various supplies should have been stored, there was a creature that looked like flesh and blood.

It was an oval-shaped device, a grayish-brown mass covered with countless scars and intricate, luminous green patterns. If you looked closely, you could even see what appeared to be liquid slowly flowing within those patterns.

The liquid was filled with a rather unpleasant odor...

as if,

The ship seemed to be contaminated by that fleshy, bloody stuff! That's right!

It's pollution!

Lin Xiaowei saw something secreting from the fleshy, mangled body on the damaged hull, leaking into the sea and even staining the seawater with an ominous green hull.

As a result, the seawater became foul, and organisms began to mutate and become twisted.

Master Kentji raised his hand and beckoned.

The invisible spiritual energy wandering in the void surged up and completely wiped out the strange substances in the seawater! Then he controlled the flesh and blood inside several ships to float up and used a magical field to isolate them from the outside.

After taking these protective measures, Master Kentji finally brought the oval-shaped piece of flesh closer to examine it closely.

His expression was very serious, and it was unclear what he had discovered.

After examining her for a while Master Kentji said, "Gwenia, you did very well. You have indeed proven the value of pure mechanical force to the Magic Association. I will report this achievement to the Association."

Lin Xiaowei: "???"

Meeting Lin Xiaowei's questioning gaze, Master Kentji laughed, "That's right, I am the investigator sent by the association."

He would absolutely never tell Gwenia that he had volunteered to come! Okay...

She could definitely guess that.

The thought of this Master Kentji a little discouraged.

He knew what Gwenia was wondering about, so he explained, "It doesn't really matter who I send in this matter. I can't possibly fool the association on something like this. That's the character of a mage."

Lin Xiaowei nodded.

really,

Although there are many eccentric individuals among the mages, they also engage in intrigue and power struggles within the association over various resources.

but,

All the monks maintained a high degree of reverence in academic matters.

Whether they are affiliated with or opposed to any faction, they will never let personal feelings interfere with the academic content of their inventions.

There will be no instances of patent monopolization or similar practices.

At least we wouldn't do that within the association! As for those shady organizations or evil entities outside, that's a different story.

The reason for this is that the Saint Mage who founded the Magic Empire particularly hated the infringement of patents, supposedly because his patent was stolen when he was young.

later,

Such practices are strictly prohibited within the association.

Unless you permanently eliminate anyone who could pose a threat to you while stealing a patented idea.

otherwise,

Anyone who does this will inevitably face punishment from the Magic Association!

A very severe punishment! After thousands of years of consistent implementation of this policy, coupled with continuous value guidance, the orthodox mage community has become very respectful of scholarship! Master Kentji put away the strange fleshy object and prepared to open a portal to leave.

Just then, Lin Xiaowei spoke up and asked, "Teacher, could you leave me a copy of that thing to study?"

Meeting Lin Xiaowei's expectant gaze, Kentji hesitated. After a moment's thought, he refused, saying, "This stuff is highly polluting. I don't trust you to study it alone. Luckily, there are five copies here. I'll submit three to the association, and we'll keep two for our research. If you want to study it, the doors of the teacher's Mage Tower are never closed to you. Okay?"

Although it was a question, the Master Kentji's words were not to be taken lightly.

Only after Lin Xiaowei nodded did the Master Kentji disappear.

Once she was sure her teacher had left, Lin Xiaowei returned to her cabin. After thinking for a moment, she conjured her phone and sent a message to Li Yao: "Holy crap, I might be in real trouble!"

Li Yao: "???"

Third update... I'm so tired. I'll post this first and correct any typos later; I'm completely exhausted. Hope you enjoy reading!
