Headshot Wizard - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Night Attack

At night, Lance still fought in front of the candlestick.

The candles provided on the ship were of poor quality, but they were barely usable. Lance held a quill in his hand and made notes line by line in a white notebook.

Although he learned the course “Abyss Language Advanced”, he didn’t need a textbook, he only needed to open the information stored by the fox, but Lance still insisted on taking notes.

What the chip remembers is somewhat different from what he remembers. What is recited orally is different from the knowledge that has been personally taken notes.

Only by taking notes over and over again and personally understanding the essential content of this part of knowledge can you truly master this knowledge.

Lance came from the earth of the 22nd century and knew the importance of the foundation. Only if the foundation is firmly laid, can he climb higher peaks in the future can go smoothly; he also knows that learning must rely on himself. The earth of the 22nd century has A famous saying: “Biochips have changed the way of life and learning, but they cannot change the nature of life and learning.”

Lance believed in this.

Chips are used to assist learning. After all, no matter what you do, you have to rely on your own efforts.

The faint blue and black ink wrote line after line on the notebook. The advanced tutorial of Abyssal Language is far more difficult than the entry level. Even with the help of the chip, he is confused and very difficult to learn.

This is the disadvantage of not having a teacher. If a teacher explained it to him again, and then learned and memorized, it would be much faster and more convenient.

Lance copied a paragraph, put down the quill, and yawned heavily. The kind smile of the wizard of Amman reappeared in front of him. Just two days before he left, the funeral of the wizard of Amman was held in a low-key manner. The viscount who had been destroying the murlocs near the sea rushed back to attend.

Lance remembered clearly that the teacher’s body was very withered and looked like a dried corpse for thousands of years.

At that time, he was a little shuddered by the horrible scene, and this was the first time he had experienced the terrible part of witchcraft.

However, you must know that both the Amman wizard himself and the blue-scale prophet who died with him are only at the level of a second-level wizard. In the huge and mysterious world of wizards, they are only lower-level figures.

As for the junior apprentices like Lance, they are even more humble cannon fodder.

…

“I heard that the wizarding organizations are far in the mountains and mountains, and they are corners beyond the reach of ordinary humans. There will also be many terrifying monsters and mysterious relics in the places where wizards haunt, which is really desirable.”

Ransto thought quietly, holding his head. At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound:

“Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!”

It seemed that something was touching the bottom of the ship.

Lance’s face changed slightly: “Is it a shark?”

The tonnage of a large ship full of cargo like the Queen Lisa is very heavy. Ordinary small fishes hit the bottom plate and are easily washed away by the current, which simply cannot last for so long.

However, he immediately denied this idea.

Sharks are mostly found in the deep sea, and the Queen Lisa’s route has been along the rugged coastline northward. When the weather is good, it can even see the land on the side, so it can be said that it has been sailing offshore.

It can’t be a shark.

Lance held his breath and listened quietly, but the voice seemed to disappear.

“Is it my illusion?”

Lance did not relax his vigilance. He quickly took out two barrels of quiver from the arcane ring and put them behind his back, and put the short bow and short sword in his hands.

“Fox, did you sense any creature?” Lance asked in his heart.

“No,” the fox replied.

Lance felt more and more wrong. He attached his ears to the side of the ship wall. This time, he heard a solid boom!

But what is different from before is that this time the booming sound is from the deck!

Lance’s face changed drastically, it was not the footsteps of sailors.

“Fox, can you analyze what it is based on my hearing?” Lance asked.

“Sonic analysis… the sonic analysis is complete.”

“According to my database, there is a 91% probability that the sound of such footsteps is one of the blue scale murloc, redgill murloc or trinocular murloc!” The result of the fox came out.

Lance frowned, it turned out to be a murloc!

And judging from the sound of footsteps, the number of these murlocs looks like a lot. What do these guys want to do?

“Is it a robbery?” A possibility emerged in Lance’s mind.

It is very normal that murlocs of various species often appear near the waters of the Hussar Kingdom. These creatures do not produce but only rob. But what puzzled Lance was that, judging from the sound of these murlocs, they seemed to be a group of well-trained guys.

The murlocs in Lance’s impression were all of the same low intelligence as the Frost Demon, and they didn’t even know what discipline meant.

“unless……”

Lance kept thinking in his mind, and at this moment, there was a screaming scream from the deck!

Immediately after this roar, the noise of sailors came from the walkway. The noise of footsteps accompanied by voices made Lance unable to tell what happened.

He thought for a while, and temporarily took the weapon back. Anyway, if he wants to use it, he can take it out at any time.

Then he opened the hatch and found that all the sailors had washed up on the deck under Jason’s orders.

At this moment, the opposite hatch opened.

Vera poked her head out, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, “Mr. Lance, what happened?”

Lance made a silent gesture to her, then turned and went out.

“Hide in the room and don’t come out.” Lance told her.

“Making a fuss…” Another door on the opposite side also opened. The eldest cousin was wearing pajamas and couldn’t help but mocked: “Do you know how many years the Queen Lisa hasn’t had an accident?”

“By the way, little Vera, where’s Robert and Matthews?” Madil suddenly remembered. It seemed that their two guards hadn’t seen it for a long time.

Vera shook her head and said, “Aren’t they supposed to be at the door of our room? Did they go on the deck with the sailors?”

Madir’s face changed suddenly.

Lance didn’t quarrel with the cousins anymore, and left on his own.

He did not follow the sailors to the foredeck, but to the bottom bin.

There, there is a passage leading to the rear deck.

…

Lance’s footsteps were brisk, and in the darkness, he walked faster and faster.

Because at this moment, from the top of his head, there was a loud shouting, roaring, and some strange noises.

“Damn, what a murloc!”

He sneaked up onto the deck from behind, under the moonlight, he hid behind a few boxes of cargo, and saw clearly that it was a group of murlocs holding steel forks who were fighting with the sailors!

These murlocs have very long tentacles, light blue scales, prominent cheeks, and very scarlet in color.

“And it’s the most powerful red-gill murloc.” The fox added.

Lance nodded secretly and watched the sailors retreat under the siege of the murlocs. He hesitated a bit and decided to hide first.

It wasn’t that he was greedy for life and fear of death, but Lance felt that it was definitely not that simple. Behind a group of well-trained murlocs, apart from the birth of a murloc prophet from the opposing group, there is only one explanation: this is a group of murloc warriors.

Considering the difficulty of the birth of the Murloc Prophet and the low and poor probability, Lance felt that the latter possibility was more reliable.

Only if there are murloc warriors, these murlocs will obey his orders and carry out sneak attacks in an organized and disciplined manner.

“The ship has been moving forward, how can these murlocs climb up so easily?” Lance had a question in his heart.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the sail on the main mast had actually been lowered.

The ship is not advancing, but floating quietly on the surface of the sea, drifting with the current.

“That’s it… I see!”

Lance took a deep breath and watched another wave of murlocs climb onto the deck from the sea. He resisted his willingness to shoot, and walked to the main mast on the side.

…

After half an hour, the resistance of the human sailor became weaker and weaker. Most of the people were defeated, tied up with strong algae by the redgills, and knelt on the deck.

A red-gill murloc who was much taller than the average person walked back and forth, humming in his mouth.

Under his scolding, the other murlocs acted more quickly, and after a while, all of them were captured. Except Lance.

The noble brothers and sisters are naturally no exception. Although they hid in the room, they were also caught by rough murloc soldiers and brought to the deck. Lance also noticed that their two hapless guards, Robert and Matthews, seemed to have been drugged and were in a coma, unconsciously tied together by the red-gill murloc.

“how so!”

“Didn’t it mean this is the safest ship?”

“Where are your guards? Where are your sailors? Just defeated by a group of murlocs?!”

The big cousin shouted at the sailors hoarsely, but the next second, he was stunned to find that two red-gill murlocs were carrying Captain Jason, who was also in a coma, onto the deck.

“You did a good job,” the tall murloc warrior said in jerky common language.

“What?” Before Madil could react, he was kicked severely in the forehead and fainted miserably.

A thin figure walked out, and he came to the murloc leader flatly, nodding and bowing. Under his command, Madil and Vera were tied back to the main mast again. The little girl bowed her head in fright, trembling all over.

“Trell?”

“What’s the matter, Terrell? Are you all with these ugly murlocs?”

“Damn it, you stopped the boat and killed the night watchman Dink and Brewer by these murlocs!”

The sailors who were kneeling on the ground suddenly burst into anger, but they were immediately beaten up by the murloc beside them so they couldn’t speak.

Lance, who was hiding in the dark, squinted his eyes, and there was an insider on the boat, which didn’t surprise him.

But this person is the second officer Terrell of the Queen Lisa, which makes Lance a bit strange. It is said that Captain Jason has given his subordinates very good treatment, especially the positions of first officer, second officer and navigator. It stands to reason that Terrell has no reason to help the Murloc.

“But if it’s Terrell, then everything can be explained. As the second mate of the Queen Lisa, he has a lot of power.” Lance thought: “Captain Jason and a few martial arts are slightly better. All of the crew were fascinated. It is estimated that they were drugged. The guards of the two noble brothers and sisters were not spared. In addition, this guy cooperated with the murlocs to fight inside and out, and lowered the sails. No wonder these murlocs rushed up so easily. .”

As for Lance these people, it is estimated that in Terrell’s eyes, they are basically useless children of nobles and can be ignored.

But even if he wants to prescribe Lance, it is basically impossible for Lance, who has a chip.

…

According to Fox’s calculations, Lance knew that the speed of these red-gill murlocs swimming in the ocean was only one-third to one-half of the ship’s speed. As long as they kept moving forward at a certain speed, the murlocs in the sea could not keep up. . Moreover, the deck of the ship is far from the sea level. Without the help of people, the fishermen can’t get on the ship at all.

“Shut up all!” the murloc warrior roared in jerky lingua franca, and he asked Terrell, “Are all the humans on the ship here?”

Terrell looked at it for a while, and immediately shook his head: “There is another noble brother here who is not here.”

“Take him out for me!” The Murloc Warrior gave an order, and suddenly a few redgills began to search the ship aggressively.

Lance moved in his heart and immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
