Chapter 40 A Shocking Turn of Events on the Ship
Leo nodded.
Leo's affirmation immediately changed the expressions of Eiffel and Carrie, who respectfully greeted him, "Congratulations, Wizard Leo."
"Congratulations, Wizard Danville."
Carrera's attitude became increasingly respectful.
Leo already possessed that level of combat power before becoming a wizard.
Once Leo becomes a wizard, he could probably easily deal with the knights on their entire ship.
Facing a wizard, the Grand Knights had absolutely no chance of winning.
Leo simply laughed off the knights' attitude.
When Hughes met Leo, he also noticed the change in him.
"Leo, congratulations."
Hughes's face was filled with envy.
Hughes currently only has 6 points of spiritual energy, and he is still a long way from becoming a wizard.
As Hughes walked towards Leo, he suddenly stopped, gave an awkward smile, and said, "Sorry, Leo, there's something about you that makes me feel uncomfortable. Let's keep our distance."
Leo glanced at him sideways but didn't say anything.
After becoming a wizard, Leo will unconsciously release mental radiation. Although it is very weak and does not pose a life threat to wizard budding, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
Of course, Leo could voluntarily withdraw this spiritual radiation, but it would take some time for him to get used to his new state after the advancement.
The knight's warship will return to the Tower of Dawn by the afternoon.
Leo returned to his room and continued his meditation practice.
After becoming a wizard, Leo clearly felt that his meditation efficiency had improved.
This increased meditation efficiency is unrelated to basic meditation techniques; it occurred after Leo became a wizard.
Since it wasn't a bad thing, Leo was only slightly surprised before continuing his practice of the beginner's meditation method.
At noon, Leo stepped off the deck and discovered another ship next to the warship.
Judging from its design, this ship is also a knight's ship.
Carella and a dozen knights were now crossing the planks to enter another ship.
When Eiffel saw Leo, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Wizard Leo."
Leo asked, "Is this ship also one of your knights' vessels?"
"Yes, Lord Wizard Leo," Eiffel said respectfully, "but it's another small team. They're planning to hunt down a powerful sea monster, but they're short-handed, so Kerella took some people to assist them."
Leo looked around at the people who had passed by and noticed that the three ordinary knights who owed one hundred magic stones had all followed Kerella.
It's estimated that they might obtain some magic stones during this sea monster hunt.
However, this is a matter for the knights, and has nothing to do with Leo.
Leo asked, "Will this affect our journey?"
"It won't affect anything; our ship will still return to the Tower of Dawn."
Upon hearing this, Leo stopped caring about the matter.
Leo returned to his room, but this time he didn't practice meditation. Instead, he took out a stone sea dragon scale.
Then, Leo took off his shirt.
Leo recalled the techniques from the basic magic books.
He wanted to see if he could incorporate the dragon scale into his shirt to create a defensive magical artifact.
Leo began studying the basics of the Magia Encyclopedia.
"Mastered the Inferior Quality Basic Magical Artifacts Encyclopedia, gained 10 Refinement Points."
After a long while, Leo put his shirt back on and put away the stone sea dragon's scales.
He touched his chin.
This learning experience wasn't entirely fruitless, but using dragon scales as the first magical tool was clearly too difficult.
Leo felt that he might need to access the Advanced Magia Encyclopedia to create magical artifacts that involved dragons.
Moreover, it's clearly impossible to make it using the shirt Leo is wearing as a material.
Higher-grade materials are needed.
Stone Sea Dragon Scales require higher-grade materials to react with spiritual energy.
Leo got up and left the room, wanting to ask the Knights of Eiffel how far they were from the Tower of Dawn.
But as he stepped onto the deck, a glint of light flashed in Leo's eyes.
The surrounding sea surface was covered with large swathes of pale reddish water that shimmered.
This situation only occurs when approaching the deep red sea area.
But they were clearly heading back towards the Tower of Dawn.
Why then does it gradually enter the area of the deep red sea?
"No, it seems like the situation with these knights is..."
At this moment, Leo noticed that the knights on the deck all had blank stares, just like John and the other six knights from yesterday.
Although they haven't gone mad yet, they are clearly being manipulated by the siren.
A bad feeling rose in Leo's mind.
Leo took out the seven-colored dragon scale, but it did not sense any malice from these people.
Thinking of this, Leo went to Hughes's room and pounded on the door.
"Hughes!"
Hughes opened the door, yawned, and said, "I just woke up. What's up?"
Leo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hughes hadn't reverted to his previous state, but his face quickly darkened again. He said, "Hughes, this is bad. The knights on this ship seem to have been infected by the siren's song again, and the ship is now sailing towards the Crimson Sea."
Upon hearing this, Hughes' face turned pale with fear. He exclaimed, "We're doomed! What should we do? Leo, even if we kill them now, we don't know how we'll get the ship back!"
Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Subdue the knights first."
Hughes said nervously, "This is the only way we can try."
The two walked out of the cabin together and headed towards the bridge.
However, with the sound of footsteps, the knights surrounded the two of them.
These knights all had drool dripping from their mouths, empty eyes, and made meaningless mutterings.
Among them was Eiffel, the great knight.
Leo slid his fingertips along the scales of the rainbow dragon, and this time the dragon's scales sensed malice from the knights.
Leo's gaze fell on Eiffel.
He opened his mouth, his eyes were blurry, and he spat out saliva.
Seeing that Eiffel was also in this state, Leo immediately made a judgment. He said, "Hughes, protect yourself. Don't hold back. Since even the Grand Knight is in this state, it's even less likely that the other knights can recover."
"Without Wizard Nova, we have no way to restore them."
"I understand." Hughes nodded, and a shield formed from a magical hand appeared in his hand.
He knew his own limitations; facing the knight, he could only do his best to protect himself and not cause Leo any trouble.
Leo unleashed his magical hand, and a giant net stretched out towards the knights.
The knights seemed to know the net was dangerous, and they skillfully dodged it.
Seeing this, Leo used his magic hand again.
After becoming a wizard, Leo's biggest improvement was a significant reduction in the energy required to cast spells.
The spiritual energy provided by spiritual seeds is more refined.
If Leo's original spell cost 10, then after becoming a wizard, his spell cost would be 1, or even less.
Leo is now able to cast spells many more times.
The great knight Eiffel charged toward Leo.
Leo gripped the greatsword wielded by the Hand of Magic with one hand and swung it at them.
Eiffel drew his weapon.
Leo cast a basic physical enhancement spell.
Immediately afterwards, Leo slashed horizontally, cleaving his weapon in two.
