Chapter 4 - 4 Setting Sail_1



“Magic Stone?”

Link took this piece of information to heart, making a mental note of it.

But let’s not even talk about the wizard currency, the Magic Stone. He has not even held a single gold coin often used on the island.

After much effort in saving for more than a year, he managed to scrap together 10 silver coins, meeting the Krypton Card Drawing System’s minimum requirement for the first charge of either 1 gold coin or 10 silver coins.

Subsequent Krypton gold exchanges for card drawing chances would require 10 gold coins or 100 silver coins.

“Money making!”

Link sighed, it seems that no matter the world, money is a must.

“Who has a Magic Stone?” Jimmy suddenly asked at this time.

Both Chris and Christina, the brother and sister, shook their heads. Link calmly spread his hands.

Jasmine hesitated for a while before speaking softly, “I have two from my family.”

Rich lady!

Link joked internally feeling a bit of appreciation, but didn’t harbor other thoughts.

As long as one is willing to work hard, there will be gold coins and Magic Stones.

But having said this, it seemed like the conversation had naturally reached its conclusion.

Having just had a sumptuous lunch, the five of them were feeling drowsy. They silently agreed to not chat anymore, each of them leaning back in their seats to take a quick nap.

It was only at this time that Link had the opportunity to delve deeper into the “Mind Closure Technique” he had drawn.

The “Mind Closure Technique” originated from the Harry Potter World, it is a form of magic art that seals the brain to resist external mental infiltration and magic invasion.

A basic-level “Mind Closure Technique” mainly clears memories and emotions from the mind, making one as emotionless as a puppet, to counter “Legilimency”.

That is to say, at the entry-level, Link’s “Mind Closure Technique” can clear his mind of stray thoughts at any time, with a clear mind and singular focus.

A higher form of the “Mind Closure Technique” allows one to remove, cover or shape specific memories and emotions.

In Link’s view, this is another form of being able to do as one pleases without overstepping.

Link firmly believed that the “Mind Closure Technique” would play a significant role in the future.

Thinking about this, Link slowly fell asleep.

However, before he had slept for long, the hovering vehicle came to a stop.

Katosi Harbor was here.

Wizard Palo emerged from the front compartment of the vehicle, being the first to alight. The five newly minted wizard apprentices followed suit, exiting in single file.

The harbor was bustling, with ships coming and going, and people surging back and forth.

What was strange was that no one noticed a hovering vehicle stopping not far from them, and a group of people getting out. It was as if they were completely invisible.

“Invisibility? Or is it the Muggle-repelling spell?” Link casually speculated.

Wizard Palo made a beckoning gesture.

The hovering vehicle shrank at a very fast pace until it was palm-sized before flew into Wizard Palo’s hand.

“This…”

Link was amazed by Wizard Palo’s move.

Being able to resize things as one wished? A magical item?

So cool, I want it too!

Link drooled over it, looking like he hadn’t seen much of the world.

Jimmy, Chris, Christina, and Jasmine were much better off as they had apparently seen this before.

“Board the ship.”

Wizard Palo, as always, was succinct, leading the way quickly through the crowd that automatically made way.

His target was clear, the full-metal ocean ship that occupied the largest dock in the harbor, the White Sail.

Only then did Link notice the standout full metal ship, which stood out among the other wooden sailboats in the harbor.

Today, from the moment I started participating in the Wizard Qualifications test, my repeatedly shocked heart was shocked once more.

This wasn’t simply about a ship, it indicated that the industrial level of the main continent we were about to journey to far surpassed the Quete Archipelago, let alone Link’s expectations.

Hadn’t the Wizard World agreed on that, their societal environment and development process were similar to the Western Middle Ages? Apart from the commendable efforts towards self-improvement, they lagged behind in every other aspect?

Clearly, the Quete Archipelago fit this setting, but…

A full metal ocean-going ship, even in Link’s previous life, where science and technology were quite advanced, there were only a few countries capable of building one.

“It turns out I was the frog at the bottom of the well all along, just observing the sky from within.”

Link reflected timely, realizing he must cast aside his prejudices and preconceived notions, and, with humility, integrate himself into Wizard World to avoid making an overestimation mistake in the future.

As he pondered these thoughts, Link already followed Wizard Palo to the vicinity of the White Sail Ship.

At the front of the White Sail Ship, a gangway was extended to connect to the dock.

Wizard Palo led Link and the other four, going straight up the gangway, and boarding the ship.

At the top of the gangway there was a small door, unattended.

Wizard Palo reached into his pocket with his right hand, pulled out a flat rectangle, and pressed it on the slightly protruding square plate in the middle of the door.

“Welcome back, respected Wizard Palo.”

The plate first lit up with a faint blue light, scanning the rectangle in Wizard Palo’s hand, then a mechanical neutral voice issued, “I detect five unregistered personnel behind you, do you wish to register them as your followers?”

“No.”

Wizard Palo replied, “Register them as ‘New Blood’.”

“Okay, ‘New Blood’ has been registered. Please pick up your temporary passes.”

The voice from the plate fell silent, then a tray extended from above it, carrying five mahjong tile-sized metal plates.

Wizard Palo removed the flat rectangle pressed against the plate, picking up the five metal plates from the tray.

The tray immediately retracted.

The small door also automatically opened.

“Take it, don’t drop it, it’s a hassle to replace.”

Wizard Palo casually flung the metal plates backward, very miraculously dividing them among the five, floating stably at each person’s chest position.

Link quickly caught it and took a look.

One side of the metal plate was printed with “Temporary Pass”, while the other side had the number of decks and room number on the ship.

“My task ends here.”

Just as Wizard Palo walked inside, he unexpectedly stopped and spoke a few more words, “You should find your own rooms according to the numbers. There are some documents inside. Take time to read, think and reflect.”

Saying this, Wizard Palo quickly entered the ship and was soon out of sight.

This…

Link and the others looked at each other.

To Link and the others, the Wizard Qualifications testing and journey to the main continent are a major event; however, to Wizard Palo, it’s just a technicalities-lacking task that wastes time.

It’s no wonder Wizard Palo always exhibits a cold and offhand attitude, with such a tight schedule.

“Everyone will have to fend for themselves.”

Link cheerily held up the metal plate in his hand and said.

Next, he took the lead and entered through the small door, planning to find room number 3-016 on the third deck.

As soon as he entered the door, Link noticed something different.

The air inside the ship seemed to contain some special substance, or rather the concentration of it was much higher than outside.

After just a few breaths, Link felt his body becoming lighter, his brain more active.

The difference was akin to the difference between the air in a heavily polluted factory and the natural oxygen bar in a large forest.

Link discovered another reason why Wizard Palo was reluctant to stay on the Quete Archipelago for long.
