Magus Tech Chapter 202: The Silent Horn

In the blink of an eye, many days have passed.

The giant ship continued to sail peacefully on the sea surface, and the voyage had already passed halfway. It successfully sailed from the deep sea area to the shallow sea area.

Here, although you can't see the mainland yet, you can see huge islands from time to time. There are also more seagoing ships, and several merchant ships can often be seen passing by in the distance on the deck, which finally makes the sea surface a bit more lively, and it is no longer so dead.

Of course, problems follow.

First, the giant ship began to adjust its course frequently to avoid the existing reefs and prevent it from running aground. In addition, pirates who once disappeared have also begun to appear. Although the injured Dempsey was able to scare off the pirates or wipe them out every time, there was always a feeling of tirelessness.

In addition, in addition to the traditional pirates, there is also a new type of pirates. New pirates are more difficult to deal with than traditional pirates. Instead of flying the skull flag, they will hang the official flags of their respective countries, wear official gorgeous clothes, and lead sailors to approach on warships, and then ask to board the ship for inspection and ask for transit fees.

They claim to be sea tax collectors of a certain country, but in the eyes of everyone, they are more disgusting than pirates. Even Dempsey couldn't easily defeat the opponent, because sometimes the tax collector himself was a wizard, and he brought many wizard apprentices with him. Therefore, in most cases, Dempsey can only be blackmailed with a cold face and pay the fee. At the most exaggerated time, I sometimes meet three groups of tax collectors from different countries in a day.

…

Many days later, in the morning.

On the sea, the giant ship was docked, and a beautiful white warship was parked side by side.

On the deck, Dempsey stood expressionlessly. In front of him was a man in a light blue uniform, about thirty years old. Although he was just an ordinary person, there was someone behind him. Protected by two people who are far from the apprentice wizard.

"Hello, my lord." The man in the blue uniform smiled and introduced himself to Dempsey, "I am the tax collector of the Kingdom of Mellon, and my name is Tim. Your ship is I’ve seen it, it’s not a cargo ship, it doesn’t have any cargo, but the number of members is quite large. According to the regulations, you need to pay a certain amount of crystal coins for transit fees. Well, it’s not much, just the same as that of other countries along the way.”

"Tim Tax Collector!" Dempsey narrowed his eyes slightly, "When did the sea area of ​​the Kingdom of Merun collect taxes? When I passed by here more than a month ago, there were still people on board. My three companions, why don't I remember that you haven't boarded the ship to collect taxes?!"

Actually, Dempsey understood why this happened very well. It was entirely because the other party saw that he was the only wizard on the giant wheel, and his mana fluctuated unstable. He was obviously seriously injured and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him. If he hadn't been injured, or if Seaver, Louis, and Quinton were all there, they only needed to stand on the deck for a while, and the other party would not have approached the warship at all.

In this sea, strength is extremely important. If you don't have enough strength, you can only be blackmailed by the deceitful tax collector.

Although Dempsey understood, he couldn't accept it, and couldn't help but sneer.

But after Dempsey's mocking words came out, the tax collector Tim seemed to have not heard the hidden meaning at all, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Uh, is that so, then... my lord, how about ...You will make up the missed tax this time?"

After hearing this, Dempsey's eyes sharpened uncontrollably, and mana surged in his body.

The two people behind Tim, the tax collector, sensed something, and immediately took precautions. One of them put Tim on the shoulder as a reminder.

Tim laughed, and said to Dempsey with a bright face: "Haha, my lord wizard, don't be angry, I'm just joking, how can I make you make up. After all, I am this one I just took office last month, and the previous tax collector is already in the dungeon, so I don’t care about his affairs, haha, haha.”

"But." Tim's expression became serious again, "but this time we still have to pay. After all, it's not just us Myron, but others like Grande, Staines, Fish, Vogard, All the countries along the way are like this. If you pay the transit fee in other places but don’t pay it here, I will be blamed. My lord, you should take pity on me, you still pay the tax Let's go."

When Tim spoke, he had a pitiful face, but his attitude in his words was extremely tough - don't even think about leaving if you don't pay.

Dempsey frowned, but he really didn't want to be entangled here, so he turned his head to the side. The third-level wizard Potter came over, handed out a wooden box, and handed it to Tax Collector Tim.

After Tim took it, he opened the box and glanced quickly, his eyes lit up, and there were a certain number of crystal coins inside.

Putting the box away, Tim bowed to Dempsey: "Thank you sir, I'll take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, take the people and leave, return to the warship quickly, and sail away.

Dempsey stood on the deck, watched the warship leave with cold eyes, couldn't help coughing a few times, covered it with a handkerchief, which was covered in blood.

"I can't go on like this." Dempsey said, "These vampires are too disgusting. If this goes on, when we reach the White Stone Tower, everything on the giant wheel will be blackmailed."

"What about the teacher?" Potter asked tentatively.

Dempsey narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Let's drive the boat out first, and then I'll call people to help."

"Convenor?"

"Yeah."

"Ah." Potter didn't ask any more questions, and quickly ordered the sailors to go.

…

The giant ship sailed again, and after half a day, it stopped in an empty sea that did not belong to any country.

It was dusk, the setting sun was shining golden, and the entire sea surface was dyed golden, and the entire giant ship was more like a golden ship.

On the deck, Dempsey stood upright, looking at the surrounding sea, without saying a word.

Suddenly footsteps sounded, Porter was holding a box, carefully walked out of the cabin, walked up to Dempsey and handed it out, saying: "Teacher, what you want."

"Yes." Dempsey nodded, opened the box, and took out a short horn more than ten centimeters long.

The whole body of the horn is dark black, with a deep luster, like jade. The surface is carved with cumbersome lines, which looks simple and mysterious.

Dempsey held the horn, activated it with mana, and then blew it.

The horn is silent, but some kind of message is about to be sent out.

Dempsey blew for a while ~IndoMTL.com~ put the horn back into the box, then coughed again, covered it with a new handkerchief, which was mostly stained red.

Potter looked worried, and asked aloud, "Teacher, what are we going to do next?"

"Wait." Dempsey wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and put it away.

"Wait?" Potter wondered.

"Wait." Dempsey looked at the setting sun about to fall into the sea, expressionless but extremely sure.

"Oh."
