The Lord of Ashes

Thain's silence was actually the best answer.

This strong sailor thought he had learned the origin of Thain. The sailor had a headache for this kind of "passenger".

Because this kind of passengers have eccentric personalities, and almost none of them are easy to mess with.

But then again, these passengers often have good things on hand that cannot be purchased through normal channels.

Of course, the premise is that you have life to spend.

After a moment of silence, Thane seemed to finally remember the problem of the sailor in front of him.

Hidden under a black hood, he said in a lower tone: "I want to go to Munich."

Saying the word "black market" openly showed that not only did the strong sailor see through his background, but Thain also knew that this broken ship must not be an ordinary cargo ship.

The knight sailor in the white coat didn't have any surprises. He just had a strange look on his face and couldn't help but ask: "Master, you are not a magician in the nearby area, right?"

Although he didn't know where he was exposed, Thain still replied calmly: "Yes, I come from the green land in the north."

The strong sailor suddenly revealed a hint of clarity. He had heard of where the Land of Green Source was, and he said: "The city of Munich was named more than 20 years ago, and now the black market is called Wave City."

"Our route does pass by there, but the cost..." The sailor rubbed his fingers.

Thain remained silent, and finally the sailor laughed and added: "Master, just give me five magic coins, or other resources of equal value."

This time, Thain was no longer silent, and he threw five magic coins to the knight in front of him.

According to the price of goods in the wizarding world and the cost of the Holy Tower Teleportation Array, the asking price of these five magic coins is slightly higher.

However, the sailor in front of him obviously did not dare to blackmail Thain, and there was a reason why he asked for five magic coins.

Compared with the dangers that may be encountered on the route...this is indeed the cost price.

This strong knight is just making a living as a sailor on this sea.

After paying the fare, Thain was able to board the deck.

The room that the strong knight arranged for Thane was located on the second floor of this broken ship.

This is already the best location. The upper level is the driver's cab, and there are three levels below, two of which are underground cabins.

Also after entering the broken ship, Thain used his mental power to roughly find out how many people were on the ship.

Thain was the seventh passenger to board the ship. One of them lived in a room on the second floor like him, and the other six lived on the first floor and in the underground cabin.

Moreover, this broken ship has more doorways than Thain imagined. Waves of splashing sounds came from the bottom cabin of the broken ship, and there were many subtle fluctuations of life in it. Thain couldn't help but wonder whether this broken ship could be full of life. Also engaged in biological smuggling and trafficking.

At the lowest level of the cabin, there are probably some sea creatures.

After Thain boarded the ship, the sailor knight, who had been napping in the sun on the deck, became obviously anxious and restless.

Their broken ship is indeed illegal, but Thane is too much like a black magician. Now their ship is still parked within the confines of Stormwind City. Over time, it may have changed.

Originally, this broken ship was expected to have to stay docked on the shore for more than a week to pick up enough passengers or cargo.

But in the end, just three more days later, the broken ship sailed away from the island amidst a whistle of alchemical steam.

In addition to the strong sailor in a white coat, this broken ship also has an old man with a goatee in greasy and stained clothes who controls the operation of the broken ship.

These two people should be the owners of this broken alchemy-powered ship, and apart from them, there are thirteen human passengers in the cabin, including Thane.

The strong sailor in a white coat was obviously looking for food. When he asked Thain for the fare, he only asked for five magic coins.

But when I asked a would-be magician who wanted to board the ship, he asked for ten magic coins.

When he was at the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, Thain knew that some magic apprentices were very wealthy, and a dozen magic coins were nothing to them.

Now that we have arrived at the prosperous south coast, it seems that the consumption level here is higher than that of the Green Source Land where the Blue Origin Holy Tower is located.

“It’s the end of storm season, so the charges are a little higher.”

"But our ship sails in a storm."

"Other normal sea-going ships charge lower prices, but those sea-going ships can't take you where you want to go." On the deck, the sailor in a white coat grinned.

Although this is a "black ship", this knight and the old man with a goatee who is suspected of being a first-class magician are obviously not doing business at sea for the first time, and they still have basic credibility.

It is basically impossible for the black to eat the black.

Because these two people are at best a gray group walking between white and black, and are not the same type of people as black magicians and black knights in the true sense.

They also hope to retain some old and repeat customers.

Thain did the math and found that the total fare paid by the crew was only more than a hundred coins. If they were divided equally between the two, each of them had an income of more than fifty magic coins.

Compared to normal Holy Tower magicians, this is considered a high income.

After all, if you participate in a plane war that lasts for more than ten years, your income from pure magic coins will probably only be a few hundred.

No wonder some people take desperate risks and engage in such a gray profession. After all, it is for profit.

But what Thain was even more curious about was what on earth did these people on the same boat with him spend a considerable amount of magic coins on?

In particular, Thain noticed that there was a senior magic apprentice wearing a gray magic robe in the bottom cabin.

The other party was an unshaven middle-aged man, and the magic robe and magic wand he was wearing seemed relatively poor. It was estimated that just the shipping fee had wiped out all his savings, so what use could he have by going to the black market?

With a trace of curiosity and calmness, on a dilapidated alchemy ship, Thane sailed towards the place where the storm converged where the sea and the sky met in the distance.

…

The vastness and unknown of the sea are definitely beyond the imagination of lower-level life forms.

When Thain was in the poisonous green flame world battlefield, he had also seen the vast sea of ​​molten water in that low-level plane.

Even with that kind of molten sea, it is not possible for a first-level magician like Thain to explore to the end. Not to mention, the endless South China Sea in the wizarding world in front of him is probably as vast as hundreds of poisonous fire greens. The molten sea of ​​the flame world.

For creatures who are not familiar with ocean storms, traveling in the storm season is undoubtedly a joke with their own lives.

But for Cook, who has nearly 230 years of sailing experience, driving his alchemy-powered ship to shuttle flexibly through the storm like a fish is nothing.

It was also this sailing experience that made Thane deeply aware of how insignificant his own power was compared to the natural power of a top plane.
