Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 114:

Chapter 114 .  To the Knocking Island (2)

Certainly, it was said to be a ‘Moving Island’ .

Then there must be a propulsion power .

The power that makes the large island move .

There must be a source that produces that power?

The Propulsion powers can be categorized into two forms .

First, the island itself contains the power of life .

That is, the island is a living life form .

Or .

‘It moves by the power of magic . ’

It does not matter which case it may be .

Ian is a sorcerer who had already leaped beyond the 7th class .

He has already transcended the definition of common logic .

There is always a way for a sorcerer of that stature .

That is, the magic to find the island .

‘As long as the island is somewhere on the sea in the west . ’

Of course, as the sea is vast, it cannot be guaranteed though .

However, it is possible to at least find it on the ocean in the west of the Roe Principality .  That is, as long as it rests somewhere in the forefront of the open ocean .

“Mr . McFadden, when do you plan to set sail?”

“What?  Ah, we still have some time… . . ”

“Then, please babysit that child for a while for me . ”

“By child, do you mean… . . ?”

Ian pointed to Craven, who was sleeping on the horse .

He is sleeping, oblivious to any bother in the world .

He was just a child when only looking at the face .

“He could go berserk when he wakes up .  So, please give him a kind care . ”

“What, What… . . ?”

Ian levitated into the air after leaving Craven to the seaman’s care .  He no longer needed the Greenriver’s robe .  That is, he no longer needed the power of the robe in order to fly freely .

“Metamorphosis, mana . ”

It was the magic that was used when knocking down the spirit of the dragon .  It was the magic spell that converts the body to become close to mana .  The ‘metamorphosis mana’ has been invoked .

Blue mana surged out of the body and the vitality of mana was released with each breath .  Both of his eyes also sparkled with blue light .

“Hugh… . . !”

After controlling his breathing, he flew out to the west side of the ocean .

It was so fast that the pier no longer became visible in a blink of an eye .

Ian arrived at, what can only be described as, the desolate open ocean .

Immediately, he began preparing for the second high level magic .

“Seer Detection . ”

Seer Detection

Seer’s search .

It is the utmost high level magic of the detection spells .

 

That gray light of mana dispersed out into every direction .

It appeared as if it would engulf every area of the ocean in the west .

“Aaaak… . . !”

At the same time, incredible amount of information came banging into his head .  Due to the vast coverage area by the spell, the vitality of mana and the life forms that were being sensed were incredible .

“… . . !”

Ian closed his eyes, squeezing tightly .

It wasn’t because of just a simple headache .

Including the information that were just received,

As well as information that is being transmitted in real time,

Every piece of the information needs to be regurgitated .

“… . . ”

How long has it been?

Ian opened his eyes wide open .

His blue eyes were filled with certainty .

“Found it . ”

Ian recited quietly .

He hurriedly returned to the pier .

So that he could find the island with Craven .

“I’m sorry for the inconveniences . ”

“Ah, you’ve returned!”

Having landed back on the pier, Ian took out something out of the spatial pouch .  Then he tossed it gently to McFadden .  As it was tossed slowly, he caught it reflexively .  Soon, he couldn’t hide his amazement .

“Gold coin… . . ?”

What was tossed were none other than several gold coins and as they were made out of gold, it was a currency that can be utilized anywhere in the continent .  It may just be small pieces of gold that were doing nothing for Ian, but to ordinary people, that certainly wasn’t the case .

“It is a payment for the information . ”

“… . . Sir?”

“And with respect to the hideous monster . ”

“Hideous, hideous monster?”

“He is not such a bad dude as you may think . ”

“What, what are you talking about… . . ”

“I have met him before . ”

“You’ve met… . . ”

McFadden’s eyes began to move with much concern .  What is that **** sorcerer talking about?  By hideous monster, he must be referring to the tower lord of the Ivory Tower in Greenriver… . .

“Well, thank you .  Do wish that you have a safe sailing . ”

Ian flew into the air with Craven on his back .  The distance from the pier to the island, which ‘uses mana as its propulsion power’, was considerable .  However, as it was detected through magic, it wasn’t the distance that couldn’t be covered either .

‘What is the secret that this **** is hiding . ’

The capabilities of Craven as a master craftsman .

And the identity of the ‘Fran’ that he is looking for .

Everything will soon be unearthed .

“… . . Uh?”

After having flown repetitious number of times, Ian finally reached the proximity of his destination .  However, what he saw was not what he had expected .  If there was anything that came immediately into his eyes, it was

‘Floating in the air?’

To define it correctly, it wasn’t an island .  It was a land that was levitating over the surface of the ocean, but was seen as an island as the height off the surface of the ocean wasn’t significant .  Additionally, over the ground, there was a wide open flat surface .

‘This is… . . ’

The land, which was levitating in the air and even the wide open plain without variations in the terrain, was similar to the ‘land of plenty’ of illusionary witchcraft .

‘But this is a different place . ’

The most visible difference was the vestige .

The vestige of many people having had lived here .

For example, many houses that are destroyed as if ruined .

And cultivated lands as if were used for certain purposes .

It was if the entire island had been a single village .

No, it seemed it had been a village .

‘At least, a long time ago . ’

Based on the conditions, it seemed like a long time has passed .  Perhaps, at least one hundred years may have passed?  With cautious approach, Ian headed to the center of the island .  He wanted to look for a good spot to set Craven down in order to wake him up .

‘This spot would be good . ’

Ian stopped walking .

The spot was surrounded by the ruined house sites .

He set Craven down in the middle of the area .

It was for the purpose of lifting the sleep spell .

“Who… . Who is it?”
