Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 26 Exploring the Elf Sea
Loren tells Xuefu about the itinerary, and he and Liz head to the coastal town.

Meanwhile, Loris prepares to set sail.

She began to gather people to go to sea.

Captain, first mate, sailors, etc.

Loren, disguised as a sailor, took Liz to a coastal town and boarded a ship.

He was quite skilled at using secondary illusions, and the knights were completely unaware.

"Lady Loris, is it really not necessary for a knight to accompany you on this trip?" the captain of the knights in the coastal town asked.

Lorris nodded. "You stay here to guard the coastal town and urge the workers to repair the mountain road as soon as possible, so as not to delay the construction schedule."

"Yes."

With all the necessary personnel gathered, the ship set sail.

Sailing to the deep sea would take time, so Loren stayed in his room studying witchcraft.

His progress in Triangle Meditation was slow; at this rate, he didn't know how long it would take to advance to Level 2 Apprentice Wizard.

Level 1 apprentice wizards can only use 0-ring spells.

Loren is now barely able to construct spell models for Fire Arrow, Frost Touch, and Lesser Illusion.

Of these, only the Lesser Phantom is somewhat proficient.

The other two skills are barely usable.

The effect of the Flame Arrow is to shoot out a long arrow of fire, but its power is not as great as the slash of a novice knight.

The Frozen Touch fires frost rays, but its power is only average.

Because he had too little magic power, and Loren's frost and fire talents were also mediocre.

Therefore, the skill effect is not satisfactory.

However, witchcraft is not necessarily only used for combat.

Learning Frozen Touch and Fire Arrow is merely a simplification of their sorcery model.

Loren intends to develop several simpler models of witchcraft.

The Frozen Touch can be simplified to Basic Refrigeration, Intermediate Refrigeration, and Freezing.

Flame Arrow, simplified to Level 1 Heating, Level 2 Heating, Level 3 Heating, Level 4 Heating, and Level 5 Heating.

Once you understand the principles behind the magic model, simplifying the trick is not difficult.

Frozen Touch and Firebolt, being level 0 spells, are commonly referred to as tricks.

The even weaker cooling and heating spells don't even qualify as magic tricks.

This improvement is of almost no significance to wizards.

However, it was very helpful for Loren's research.

These skills are crucial for refrigeration and heating equipment.

With refrigeration equipment, food can be stored better.

With a heating device, there's no need to add firewood or fuel when eating hot pot.

The problem now is that he still lacks a tool for storing and releasing magic.

Magic Jade cannot be used.

Magic jade is a consumable item and costs too much money.

In addition, Loren also tried to combine knightly training with witchcraft.

Under Xuefu's guidance, Loren mastered various basic sword techniques.

Once you've mastered the basic sword techniques, you'll be able to perform a sword dance.

He continuously wields his knight's longsword, imbued with fighting spirit, applying relentless pressure to his opponent.

When Loren performed his sword dance, he combined it with the secondary phantom to unleash the Phantom Sword Dance.

The combination of illusion and reality greatly enhances the power of the sword dance skill.

A zero-ring magic trick combined with a beginner-level combat skill actually produced the effect of a mid-level combat skill.

If one can master the Frozen Touch and Flame Arrow, perhaps even more combat techniques can be developed.

Three days later, the ship docked at a small island in the near sea.

This is an island within the territory of Nearshore Town. Starting six months ago, Loris arranged for people to plant new crops here.

Recently, the number of merchant ships passing by the island has increased significantly.

Loris found Loren and said, “Starting tomorrow, we will begin exploring the deep sea. The captain can only follow the familiar routes on the nautical chart. If you have any information, remember to tell me in advance.”

“Of course.” In the past few days, Loren has indeed obtained several pieces of intelligence on sea voyages.

The ship you are aboard has entered the Elf Sea and is approaching an unknown island.

The ship you are on is heading towards a small island in the near sea, and is approaching an unknown island.

The ship you are on is anchored at a small island in the near sea. The weather has been great for the next few days and will not affect your trip.

The ship you are on is sailing along its course and is approaching an unknown island.

While staying in Sandstone Town, almost all the intelligence he gathered each day was related to Sandstone Town.

Snowflake, knights, servants in the house, residents of the town, magical beasts in the mountains, the condition of the farmland, and so on.

Now, almost all the intelligence he obtains comes from ships at sea.

For example, a sailor on the ship might be in a bad mood; seaweed spirits might be about to emerge in the ocean; or a novice sea monster might launch an attack this afternoon.

The ocean sprites were too difficult to capture, so Loren had to give up.

He is now only interested in information about unknown islands.

The ship is approaching the unidentified island, proving that the current course is not problematic.

Daily intelligence reports typically provide information up to three days in advance.

Thanks to intelligence and Loris's formidable combat prowess, the exploration process proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Several days passed, and the intelligence information finally changed.

[Today's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: The ship you are on is sailing along the route and is moving away from the unknown island.

[Intelligence 2]: Liz is seasick and has been resting in bed.

[Intelligence 3]: Today, a familiar guest will appear on the ship. She has no ill intentions towards you.

[Intelligence 4]: A seaweed spirit insect is about to be born in the Spirit Sea.

[Intelligence 5]: In three days, a Demon Flame Grass Spirit Insect will be born on the unknown island.

Every day, spirit insects are born in the Spirit Sea, but unfortunately, their exact location is unknown.

The magic flame grass spirit insects on the unknown islands further captivated Loren.

Demon Flame Grass sounds like a kind of magical plant.

The spirit insects born from magical plants have higher potential than ordinary spirit insects, and they are more likely to evolve.

The ship is now sailing away from the unknown island!
Loren found Loris immediately.

Loris retrieved the nautical chart and pointed out the ship's route for the next two days.

"According to the captain, we must avoid the dense fog ahead, otherwise it may be dangerous."

“Dense fog at sea? What’s that?” Loren asked.

"It is said to be the power of some kind of sea monster, which releases a large amount of fog to obscure visibility. Ships sailing into the dense fog can easily lose their way."

Loren frowned.

This is troublesome.

Most of the unknown islands are located in areas of dense fog, and venturing into them rashly may lead to getting lost.

No wonder that island remained undiscovered for so long.

It is mostly located in foggy areas, and no one dares to go in.

"Let's stop the ship first. I can roughly pinpoint the location of that island."

"In the foggy area?" Loris asked.

"Yes."

"That's a problem; the ship can't lose its way."

Loren was aware of this as well.

Losing your way at sea is a very dangerous thing.

If the fog cannot be dispelled, ships cannot sail into it.

Even if Loren were willing, Loris wouldn't agree.

Even knowing that the unknown island was nearby, they had no choice but to give up.

The treasures of the sea are not so easy to find.

The only thing that might bring about a turning point now is the visitor who is about to appear on the ship...
