440 The Price to Stay Alive Part 2 (1/2)

Saleen told the eastern sea mage to die straightforwardly. The grade-4 mage had thousands of ideas running in his head. Then, he realized that the young mage before him could not be moved with slick talk.

In the island nations of the eastern sea, language was the most powerful weapon. Even before a battle, both parties had to have a heated verbal exchange to suppress both parties' imposing manner. This young mage was like a lofty mountain by the side of the sea, splashed on by the waves for tens of thousands years without moving an inch.

Saleen laughed coldly. Looking at the mage, his right hand was pressed onto the Silver Magic Book. Once he flipped open the magic book, he would be able to release the stored magic. It was extremely convenient to use the magic book, the stored magic was dozens fold more powerful than a magic staff. It was sufficient enough to slay the mage before him.

Saleen wanted the sea map and constellation map of the eastern sea as he already set his mind on establishing the sea route. Although island nations of the eastern sea sent tens of thousands of soldiers to go on a journey to the Myers Mainland, Saleen could tell that the nations in the eastern sea were all too small and there were too many of them. It would be difficult to unite. They had yet to make a breakthrough at the north of the Qin Empire.

The expeditionary force exposed its largest weakness and the warships from eastern sea were not strong enough, that meant that it was about the same as Cloudflow Empire. They could not even be compared with warships from Sregl Island. As long as it was not sieged, Saleen's dragon skeleton warship could fight against dozens of them, one after another.

If there was not any sorcerer among the eastern sea fleet, Saleen could even encroached on them with the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat through a surprise attack again and again.

If there was not an expeditionary force that looked strong, Saleen would not have the idea to. Once the expeditionary force was defeated, the vitality island nations of the eastern sea would be severely sapped. If Saleen had the sea map, he only needed dozens of warship to seize the eastern sea.

He did not have dozens of warships then, but he would have them two years later. There were not too few warships in Sregl Island, and they had workers that specialized in ship making. As long as there was material, they could make many warships anytime.

The grade-4 mage knew that it was a life or death situation as Saleen's eyes grew colder and he obviously lost his patience. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Mister mage, the sea route was in the hands of a sorcerer. It is impossible for me to have it, unless you held a sorcerer captive. Or, the grand general of the expedition force has it too. Small mages like us definitely would not have it.

Saleen was surprised when the grade-4 mage called himself a small mage. On the Myers Mainland, once one entered into grade-4, anyone would pay respect to a mage. It seemed that the position of mage was not high in the island nations of the eastern sea.

Saleen got it right, the ranking of mage and swordsman was about the same in the island nations of the eastern sea. There was no special treatment, only becoming a sorcerer would be able to receive respect. There were many assassins in the eastern sea and a mage would easily be assassinated before becoming a sorcerer.

Within a ten-thousand mile radius in the entire eastern sea, the political situation was related to assassination. In the eastern sea, an assassin was the scariest type of person. There was no professional union but the Assassin Association.

”You are quite useless then?” Saleen did not see a death wish in the grade-4 mage's eyes. He knew that the mage had something to say, so he triggered him further.

”No, no, mister mage, there is another way to get the sea route.”

”Things that are too troublesome, I do not want to hear.” Saleen said casually, but he did not take action.

The grade-4 mage said helplessly, ”Of course, I am willing to pay the price for the trouble.”

Saleen saw that he was being a hoodlum, he could not help but laughed. He said, ”Tell me.”

”Mister mage, can we talk down there? I can't hold on any longer.” The grade-4 mage pleaded. He relied on the stored magic in the magic staff and he could barely fly. The magic in the magic staf seemed to be running out soon. If he did not land then, he would fall into the sea. According to his body mass, he would freeze to death within half an hour.

”If I am unhappy with the things that you tell me, then...”

”Mister, I beg you to let my comrades live.” The mage pleaded, the fire on the warship was still burning in rage.

”If you give me news that is important enough, I will kill all of them to shut them up. If I'm not impressed at the news that you gave me, those people will die anyway. Just follow me.” Saleen would not care about the mage's request, but released a cloud of mist and engulfed the grade-4 mage to fly back.

It was impossible for the mage to save his comrades. As long as everyone was dead, the mage would not be able to return to the eastern sea because they would not believe in the mage anymore. ”Why did everyone die and only you lived?”

The human heart was the most difficult thing to fathom. Saleen learned the way of doing so from Nailisi.

The magic staff could not release any power for flying anymore. The grade-4 mage was brought along with Saleen and he dared not do anything to Saleen as Saleen hid in the cloud of mist again. Without Saleen, he would drop into the sea.

Saleen found the dragon skeleton warship very quickly and he landed with the grade-4 mage. He directly entered the cabin on the deck. Nailisi saw that Saleen brought a captive and she rushed everyone out of the room besides herself and Sika.

Nailisi did not think that Saleen would be soft hearted and keep any captives. When Saleen saw the dead bodies of the swordsmen from Sregl Island, Nailisi could feel the sorrow at the bottom of his heart.
