Chapter 459: No Chance at All

Whoosh, splash. It was the sound of water splashing.
Ferde’s fleet quickly moved past the High Elves’ ships. Water splashed, drenching the High Elves that were crying for help.
Then the fleet of three large magic ships sailed away. The human sailors on the deck burst into laughter at how pathetic the High Elves looked. The fleet soon sailed away, ignoring them.
The drenched High Elves on the rattan ships were all dazed.
“They just sailed away?”
“They ignored us?”
“They saw us about to die, and they left?”
“I don’t think we’re gonna die…” someone said weakly.
The Magician finally processed everything. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Damn, they must’ve discovered the island!”
“What do we do now?” a miner asked.
The Magician shook his head. “We can’t do anything for now. We’re not their match and can’t stop them. Let’s go back to the Isle of Dawn and have our navy teach them a lesson!”
The High Elves had operated on the Isle of Dawn for many years, and their navy was the strongest. If they wanted to, they could defeat the navies of all the kingdoms as easily as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
In Firuman, the High Elves were the bosses of the sea. No one could refute that.
The group of High Elves rowed the rattan paddles and grunted while going back to the Isle of Dawn.
After a while, a miner suddenly said, “Hey, don’t you think it’s coincidental? The storm just passed, and the Ferde fleet appeared, going straight to the island. Do you think they made that storm?”
“It’s possible. Their lord is a Legendary Magician. He really might have that ability.” Another miner grew suspicious too.
The High Elf Magician scoffed. “You know nothing!” he said derisively. “That storm isn’t something a mortal can control. No Magician in the world could cast a spell like that unless he was a god!”
“Oh, I see. Those damn Ferdians are so f*cking lucky!” a miner swore.
In the sky, Link looked at the High Elves in the distance and said to Felina, “Let’s go to the island too.”
“But those High Elves said they’re going to get the navy.” Felina could read lips, so she was a bit worried. However, she still changed direction and flew towards the Magnetic Island.
“Don’t worry. They won’t be able to cause conflict because of the island,” Link said with a laugh.
It would take one week for the High Elves to reach the Isle of Dawn. By then, it would be too late.
Felina quickly caught up with the fleet. She was still invisible. When they were above the fleet, Link jumped down from her back.
“Alright, your mission is complete. Go back to Ferde,” Link said from the deck.
“Okay.” Felina turned and left.
Link showed himself. Celine, Jacker, and the navy general were all on the deck. The three instantly went over to him.
The general’s name was Grayson. Apparently, he used to be a pirate in the southern seas and pillaged merchant ships but failed when attacking a Ferdian ship.
He was very skilled and didn’t have a bad reputation. He only stole goods and never killed anyone, so Jacker forgave him. In the end, he decided not to leave. He even joined Ferde’s guard and contributed greatly against the Delongan Royal Army.
When Ferde’s navy was established, he naturally became the general.
For questions about the sea, Link had to ask him. “With our current situation, how much longer until we get to the Broken Isles?”
“Sir, we’ll get there within two and a half hours!”
“Okay, good. I’ll go rest. Let me know when we get there.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Celine, stop staying outside. Come to the cabin with me.” Link waved at Celine. Ferde’s navy was very strict, and the sailors were on the seas for long stretches of time. They were all like voracious beasts. Even a sow could catch their eye. It was dangerous for Celine to stand there.
“Oh, coming.” Celine had felt uncomfortable this entire trip. She hurriedly hid inside the cabin with Link.
Once inside, Link sat down before the table. He took out the half-finished enchantment book and continued to write. After a while, he realized Celine felt bored, so he handed over a draft he’d finished. “This is the spell book I wrote. Help me punch holes on the side and string them together.”
“Okay.” Celine was happy to do this. She punched holes while reading and actually grew interested in the content. “Wow, so enchantments are this easy? I feel like even I can do it.”
Link chuckled. “This is just basic enchantments for apprentices.”
Celine had learned magic before, after all. Her level was even higher than most apprentices, and she was smart too. She would naturally find it easy.
