Chapter 354 - Let’s Go (1/2)
After returning, Heath made some preparations, such as making potions, magic scrolls, and other tools that might be used in exploring the ruins.
A few days later, Jackman arrived as promised. After giving a brief explanation to Amy, Heath went out with him.
When they arrived at the dock, there was already a large sailboat docked there. It was a five-masted sailboat. The hull was very huge, almost a hundred meters long. The bow part of the boat was a Mermaid sculpture, and it was well-made.
It was docked in the middle of a pile of merchant ships. It looked like an ordinary merchant ship. There was even an emblem of a noble family attached to the body of the boat, and the flag of a noble was also stuck on the mast. It looked like an ordinary noble merchant ship.
However, Heath could easily feel the strong elemental fluctuations from it. Using his spiritual eye, he could easily see the runes all over the body of the boat. It seemed that this was a Wizard ship disguised as an ordinary merchant ship.
At this moment, some men dressed as sailors were carrying boxes of goods to the deck. They looked like they were preparing for sailing.
After Jackman brought Heath over, the sailors bowed.
”Sir Jackman.”
”Sir.”
Heath paid attention. These sailors were very muscular and burly. Thick calluses could be clearly seen in the palms of their hands. They were all marks after using a sword, he could easily tell from their auras that they were Knights.
Heath asked, ”Are these Knights coming with us?”
Jackman nodded. ”It would be easier for us to camp in the wilderness with the help of Knights, wouldn't it?”
Heath asked, ”Where did they come from? Are they reliable?”
Some Wizards would prepare some Knights before exploring the ruins. They would collect wandering Knights from the market or use black magic to make them. Most of these Knights did not have the spirit of Knights, and they were not very reliable.
Not only would they not be of much help during the exploration, they might also be a hindrance, and they might even betray them at a critical moment... Therefore, Wizards who died at the hands of the Knights had also happened before. In any case, Heath had never liked to bring these burdens with him during his expeditions.
Jackman explained, ”Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. I don't like to bring unfamiliar Knights along, but we can be at ease with these Knights. They were all brought out by Alza from the family he established in the human world through his bloodline. They're not some wandering Knights.”
Alza was the Wizard who was going to explore with them this time, and he was also the discoverer of the ruins.
Heath said, ”I see. Alright, then.”
After walking for more than ten steps, Heath finally met the Wizard Alza that Jackman had mentioned.
It was an old man. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies and was very old. His head was full of silver hair, his face was wrinkled like old tree bark. His back was hunched, and his body was very bent.
He was wearing a reddish-brown long shirt with a golden cane in his hand. He looked very polite like a human aristocrat.
Jackman walked up and greeted, ”Alza, my old friend, I have brought someone here!”
