"Thi... this... this's an Immortal Soul stage attack spell talisman!?" the young man shouted in shock as he saw the complex spell pattern on the talisman in his hand that he had just received from Zheng-Fu.
"Hah... An Immortal Soul stage attack spell!? What's that, brother? It's just an ordinary lucky talisman, isn't it?" Zheng-Fu pretended to be shocked at the young man's words with a questioning voice that spoke about the talisman in Hai-Dong's hand.
Just an ordinary lucky talisman?!
"You said that it was just an ordinary lucky talisman?! You know nothing, little boy... Sigh! Sorry, I forgot that you didn't know about the spell pattern, so you don't know what this talisman is." The young man panicked at first, but thinking that Zheng-Fu was not a sorcerer, he let out a breath.
"Sorcerer? Oh... I want to be a sorcerer too," said Zheng-Fu, looking like he understood and smiling like a child who wanted something.
"Ha ha ha! Do you want to be like that too? But it's not easy. At your age, it may be ten years before you can learn and understand. But if you're a fast learner or gifted like me, it might only take three to five years!" the young man explained to Zheng-Fu, raising his head proudly when discussing his talents and abilities.
"Even if it'll take twenty years, I agree. I heard that sorcerers could make a lot of money!" Zheng-Fu smiled as he said that he wanted to be a sorcerer, and no matter how much training he had to go through, he agreed.
But in reality, Zheng-Fu was even more capable than a grandmaster rank sorcerer, perhaps even more than an Immortal stage sorcerer. Because the spell patterns he had created and understood had already reached the Immortal Soul stage. And the talisman in the young man's hands was also his creation.
"I know it's difficult, but I want to give it a try... It's just that I'm only an unlucky person who doesn't have much talent or money, so I'm afraid that I might not be able to be. Just you let me get on the ship, it's already a blessing to me," Zheng-Fu said with a sad expression on his face.
"Brother! Don't be sad. I, Hai-Dong, will help you become a sorcerer myself. And going to the sect this time, I'll try to find a way for you to become a disciple," the young man patted Zheng-Fu's shoulder and spoke with consolation and encouragement.
"Thank you very much, the most handsome brother. But now we must find a way to dodge that storm," Zheng-Fu nodded and pointed at the black clouds that were slowly moving towards their ship.
"That's right!" The young man nodded in agreement. He turned to the middle-aged man who had reported to him and said, "We've got to reroute the ship to another direction to avoid the storm. You, help me deal with it." Finished speaking, he turned to look at the black clouds again.
"Yes, sir!"
The middle-aged man heard the young man's instructions and immediately nodded in response. But at that moment, Zheng-Fu saw a smile occur at the corner of his mouth, causing Zheng-Fu to immediately understand what this middle-aged man was thinking.
'Is this what he wants? Actually, they want this ship to change its sailing direction,' Zheng-Fu thought in his mind of the middle-aged man's plans before he let out a mischievous smile and said, "The most handsome brother, I think we shouldn't change the direction of the ship!"
Huh...?
As soon as they heard Zheng-Fu's words, everyone's eyes turned to him in shock and wonder before Youngman Hai-Dong spoke up, "Why, younger brother? If we don't change the direction of the ship, we'll have to hit that storm. The young man frowned in suspicion.
"Yes! Master is right. You're just an outsider and not a sailor. What do you know!?" added the middle-aged man who stood behind, as this was his plan.
"That's right, I'm not a sailor, but I know quite a bit about the earth, the sky, and the weather. The reason I said we shouldn't change the direction of the ship is that the storm is going to disappear soon. If you don't believe it, look at it."
Whoooooosh!!!
Swish!!!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the black clouds that had filled the previous sky had completely dissipated, turning into the open sky as before.
"Im… im… Impossible!" the middle-aged man even cursed in disbelief in his own eyes when he saw the black clouds that they had made vanish away in the blink of an eye.
"Excellent, brother! You're the best! You know that those clouds will disappear!" the young man, who had been silent for a moment in shock, spoke up in an excited and admiring tone to Zheng-Fu.
But in reality, Zheng-Fu secretly released some of his energy to destroy those clouds. He had guessed that it was artificial, and his guess was true. And now, below the black clouds was a mid-sized ship moored in a state of destruction due to the energy of Zheng-Fu.
"I just have a little knowledge, brother. I think you better hurry up now because I'm afraid those black clouds will return!" Zheng-Fu said with a smile and turned to look at the middle-aged man too.
Gnash!!!
The sound of the furious middle-aged man's clenched teeth softly sounded. He stared at Zheng-Fu with a very vengeful gaze. All his plans were ruined by Zheng-Fu, which he knew was definitely not a coincidence.
'I have to inform Leader immediately!' thought the middle-aged man to himself. He had to hurry and report to his leader because otherwise, they would not have a chance to get this ship.
After the black cloud disappeared, Hai-Dong ordered his men to speed up the ship so that it could pass the point where the black clouds used to be. Because if it was slow, he was afraid that the black clouds and the storm would return. And one more thing: there were pirates in this area, so he had to speed up the ship.
The travel distance was thousands of lis, so it took them two weeks to reach the Reversed Stream Port City. During this period, they had to spend all their time on the ship. Fortunately, the ship had all the facilities on board, so they could live without any problems.
This was why the price of a ship trip was so expensive. But if Zheng-Fu was able to create his own Noah Zeppelin, it would be easier and more convenient to travel around and save time. However, on this continent, no one had it either.
Even the major sects did not have Noah Zeppelin. Most martial masters used monster beasts of burden on their journeys. But to travel long distances across the sea, they could not use beasts to mount because they could not bear the fatigue of traveling such a long distance.
Inside Zheng-Fu's room...
"It seems that man can't wait any longer. They must be pirates for sure. But I don't understand how and why he became Master Hai-Dong's confidant. Or that he has been disguised and lurking for a long time? But that's impossible because there's no reason... Ah!
They definitely want this ship!"
After returning to his room, Zheng-Fu pondered the possibility of this matter as to what the real cause was and who the other party was until he was finally able to guess. He had seen that this ship was made of superior materials and that it was very durable because there were so many spells engraved. If the pirates got it, it would greatly increase their strength.
In the middle of the sea on a big ship...
"What did you say? The plan went wrong?" a middle-aged man sitting on a large wooden chair shouted through the communication stone in his hand.
"Yes, leader! Something unexpected happened, sir. Our storm clouds suddenly disappeared, causing Hai-Dong to not think to change the direction of the ship. And he also ordered us to increase the speed as well. So, then I thought..."
"Fatuous! Where is the ship now? I'll immediately lead the fleet there. We can't miss this heist, for there's absolutely no way we'll have a second chance!"
"Right now, the ship is moored around the Wang-Shan Sea, sir!"
"Good! In another week, I'll lead the troops to trap it in the Reversed Sea. So during that time, you have to make their ships move as slowly as possible before we get there!"
"Yes, sir!!!"
Six days had passed…
This journey was still normal; nothing happened. Whether it was the weather or monster beasts under the sea, all had nothing to cause problems with the trip at all. This allowed Hai-Dong's ship to sail smoothly. During that time, both Zheng-Fu and Hai-Dong became more bound.
Inside the dining room on the ship…
Ha ha ha!!!
"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu, over the past few days, I have greatly felt that we were destined to meet. I want to swear my brotherhood to you. What's your opinion?" Six days of hilarious chatting with Zheng-Fu on his ship made Hai-Dong feel very pleased and very well suited to Zheng-Fu until he wished to swear brotherhood to Zheng-Fu.
Of course, Zheng-Fu had the same opinion. All this time on the ship, he felt quite impressed with the young man as well. Whether it was his habits or his straightforward talk, Hai-Dong was full of sincerity, which caused Zheng-Fu to also want to be friends with him. So when he heard the young man's words inviting him to swear to be brothers, he did not hesitate.
"I agree. Brother Hai-Dong, I'm willing to swear to you as brothers!" Zheng-Fu nodded, smiling at Hai-Dong intimately.
"Great! I, Hai-Dong, hereby swear brotherhood to Brother Zheng-Fu. Even if we weren't born on the same day, we would like to die on the same day. No matter what the problem is, I will always be happy to help Brother Zheng-Fu!"
"I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, hereby swear brotherhood to Brother Hai-Dong. Even if we weren't born on the same day, we would like to die on the same day. No matter what the problem is, I will always be happy to help Brother Hai-Dong!"
The two made their vows of brotherhood truthfully and firmly. A large number of Hai-Dong's underlings heard it, including the middle-aged man as well. This oath of brotherhood between the two was a signal to the middle-aged man that something bad was about to happen to him…
Because after Zheng-Fu finished his oath, he turned around and smiled at the middle-aged man once, as if wanting to say that from now on, any matter concerning the young man was also his own matter.
"Alright, brother, let's keep drinking. Tonight, if we don't get drunk, we don't quit!"
Cheers!!!
"Well! If we don't get drunk, we don't quit!"
