Chapter 4: The Pirates Arrive (Part 2)

  Goris didnt use Mirror Shadow Technique, the black-robed man was too fast and didnt give him time to chant. What he threw out earlier was a Mirror Shadow Scroll that he made himself. The scroll can fully unleash the magical power contained within in the shortest amount of time possible. This Mirror Shadow Scroll is one of Goris life-saving treasures. Goris true body had already floated three zhang away.

  The situation just now made Goris break out in a cold sweat, if he had moved any slower, he would probably have been disembowelled by the opponent by now. The opponents attack also ignited the flames of anger in his heart. With a slash of empty space, Goris drew a fine crack in the sky, and a black staff with only one foot in length floated out, its palm made of neither gold nor wood, impossible to discern what material it was made of, at the top of the staff, there was a red gemstone with a diameter of only one centimetre. Goris grasped the staff, continuously chanting incantations.

  The man in black was well aware that if he allowed Goris to fully exert his magic, he would not be his opponent. As soon as Goris grasped the staff, he launched a second attack. Countless dark lights spilled out from under his cloak, forming a huge net of light that enveloped Goris.

  Gorath continued to chant the spell, and from the spatial rift he grabbed a handful of something and scattered it out. Countless illusions of Gorath appeared in the sky, and the black-robed mans attack suddenly had no accurate target. The vast majority of the illusions disappeared during the attack, but none of them hit Goraths true body.

  "Go, Black Flame Purification." A black flame was emitted from Goris staff and pounced on the pirates.

  The man in black was shocked, he didnt think that Kori could be so powerful, the fusion of dark and fire elements, the fusion flame, he could actually release so many at once. Although he wasnt afraid himself, his subordinates would be finished if they even slightly touched it. Thinking of this, he couldnt care about hiding his strength anymore, and loudly shouted "Infernal Radiance". The black light suddenly burst out with an even more intense concentration, from bottom to top, violently surging up, the raging fighting spirit violently surged, and in the flashing black light, a hint of evil aura was faintly visible.

  Goriss Black Flame Soul Refining and the Hellish Radiance of the Black-robed Man suddenly collided, and after a burst of rumbling sounds, a large hole was melted out on the deck in front of them.

  His body swayed slightly, and when the opponent made his final move, he had already confirmed the opponents identity, and also understood why his dark guardian was ineffective against him. The black flame could also be countered by the opponents internal energy, all because of who he was. However, he didnt shout it out, because he knew that revealing ones identity was the biggest taboo for a Black Clothed person. If he said it out loud, the opponent would definitely not let up, and no life on the ship would be spared. In his best state, Goris wouldnt have been afraid of him, but these past few days, he had been troubled by seasickness, and his physical strength was much weaker. If they really fought to the death, although he might have a greater chance of winning, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.

  While Gorys was hesitating whether to negotiate with the other party or continue fighting, a not very large fireball suddenly appeared in the sky, and the fireball turned into a beautiful arc line, rushing towards the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man was shocked, he had not yet fully recovered from the previous collision. He could only draw out a dark light to meet the fireball.

  With a loud crash, the fireball shattered on impact, and several sparks fell onto the black-robed mans cloak, instantly burning out a few small holes. Under the sunlight, a faint green glow flashed through the cloak.

  The man in black was taken aback, the fireballs power wasnt great, but the fire element contained within it was surprisingly calm and peaceful, a feeling similar to that of a monk. He didnt dare oppose the church, besides, just Corris alone was already more than he could handle, if there were another monk... it would be better to escape with his life, shouting "Lets go!" as he jumped back onto the pirate ship. But how could he have known, that not only monks can cast such calm and peaceful magic, but also those who are new to learning magic.

  Goris didnt pay attention to the pirates who were fleeing in disarray, his gaze was directed at the third layer of the passenger ship, where his room was located, and that precisely controlled fireball...

  "Great wizard, thank you, thank you for saving everyone on the ship." The captain ran to Goris side and thanked him sincerely.

  Goris gave him a glance and said, "Dont let others disturb me." He turned his head and walked towards the top deck of the guest ship. The 5-centimeter-diameter fireball was too familiar to him.

  The pirate who came with great fanfare retreated in disarray, and the sparkling sea surface returned to its original calm after a ripple.

  Goris quickly walked back to the third deck, and as expected, Ah-Dais small body was lying on the ground. He went forward and picked up Ah-Dais body, activating the magic force within him to examine his body. In fact, he didnt need to check to know that Ah-Dai had been injured by the backlash of magic. The black-clothed persons skills were too strong, and it was impossible for Ah-Dai, who had only learned magic for three days, to resist. Although the fireball technique was released, since Ah-Dai controlled it with his own spiritual power, when the fireball was broken, his spirit also suffered a severe shock. Ah-Dai, who couldnt protect himself, naturally got stunned by the backlash force. Fortunately, at that time, the black-clothed persons state was not optimal; otherwise, Ah-Dai might have had a mental breakdown.

  Georis put Ah-Dais body back on the bed, and now what Ah-Dai needed most was rest. He looked at the silly face in front of him, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

  That night, the passenger ship that had gone through the pirate turmoil finally arrived at its destination - Nis City, a port city in Hille Province. Corris lived in Valian Province, which borders Hille Province, and it would take only about three days to get from Nis City to Valian Province.

  When disembarking, the captain personally sent off Gori and Ah-Dai with a thousand thanks, and returned their fare to Gori. Gori lazily entangled and accepted it. He brought Ah-Dai into the city of Nifs. Here was already far away from the extreme north, although it was evening, but it was much warmer than Ninocastle.

  ADai stretched his waist, the spiritual trauma of the day he still hadnt fully recovered from, and he was still feeling very tired. No matter how much he chanted spells, fireballs didnt appear again. "Teacher, where are we going now?"

  "Find a place to rest for the night and take a horse carriage back to my place tomorrow. Huh? Didnt I tell you not to ask too many questions?"

  He was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself without speaking. After he woke up, he felt that his mind seemed to have cleared up a bit more, and everything that had happened before was still clearly remembered. Goris was by his side, guarding him, and when he saw him wake up, his eyebrows relaxed a lot. He found that this teacher seemed to have added a humanized side, seeming kinder, and he was no longer so afraid.

  Tonights night color is beautiful, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Walking on the road, it doesnt feel very dark at all. Goris suddenly asked: "A-Dai, why did you use a fireball to hit that black-clothed person during the day?"

  The silly and honest Ah Diao replied: "I think that person is a bad guy, the bad guy is fighting with the teacher, of course I will help you. Didnt you say that fireballs also have some attacking power?"

  "Underestimating yourself, do you think that little fireball of yours can help me? If that black-clothed man is in top condition, your spiritual power will definitely be scattered by him, and youll become a useless person, a fool. You idiot, from now on, when taking action, consider the strength of your opponent, their abilities are clearly several levels higher than yours, using magic will only make you die faster."

  "Ah, I see! So magic has its limits too!"

  "Speaking of the black-clad man from daytime, Goris couldnt help but say: That guy today was a Dark Demon, and a high-ranking one at that. They have an innate ability to resist dark magic, which is why my Black Flame didnt work as well as it should have due to its opposing properties. These Dark Demons are naturally cruel; if I hadnt been wary of his identity, I wouldve killed him already. Remember this: if you ever encounter someone with green skin and sharp spikes on their hands, run as far away from them as possible. Got it? Hmm, why am I telling you all this?" Goris felt a slight headache coming on; after spending several days with this foolish kid, he seemed to have changed somehow."

  Ah-Dai happily said: "Thank you, teacher. I know now. In the future, if I meet someone with green skin and sharp thorns on their hands, Ill run."

  Ge Rui nodded ambiguously and pointed at an inn in front of them, saying: "Lets stay there."

  Just as the two were about to enter the inn, Ah-Dai suddenly exclaimed, "Master, look! That person is really strange. Why are they wearing those kinds of clothes?"

  Goris followed Ah-Dais pointing finger and saw a tall man walking towards the inn. The man wore a white robe with a golden six-pointed symbol on his chest, and his golden hair was scattered over his shoulders, exuding an aura of holiness. Goriss heart skipped a beat because this man was a monk from the Holy See, and monks were the last people he wanted to see.

  The monk had by now walked up to them, he looked down at Ah-Dai with a glance, then looked at Goris, smiled kindly and nodded slightly before walking into the inn.

  "Ah-Dai asked: Teacher, he is smiling at us, his smile is so warm. Why is he smiling?"

  Although it was just a passing encounter, the sacred aura emanating from the monks body still made Goris feel quite uncomfortable. He snorted and said, "That guy is a monk of the Sacred Tribunal, probably a low or mid-level priest. Lets hurry up, arent you hungry?"

  "Im so hungry! Teacher, what are we going to eat today?"

  "Whats to eat? Let me think..." For several days, Gori, who had been busy with the ship, hadnt eaten or slept well and really needed to replenish his energy. However, he didnt notice that Ah Dais attitude towards him seemed much more insolent, nor did he pay attention to it.

  After dinner, Gori and Adoi returned to their room and slept soundly.

  The next morning, Gorys felt that his physical condition had recovered a lot, and Adais spirit was also much better, as if the mental trauma of yesterday had healed. The resilience of children is really strong!

  Goris opened the door of the house, called a servant, threw him a silver coin and told him to hire a carriage.

  "Teacher, are we really going to ride a horse-drawn carriage?"

  "Stop asking so many questions and be quiet," Goris frowned. "Go practice your spells."

  "Oh." Ah-Dai responded, sitting down to think about the flame spell incantation that Gori just taught him. The flame spell was different from the fireball spell; although the fireball spell had a stronger attack power, its attack range was very small. In contrast, the flame spells attack power was weaker, and the incantation was relatively longer, but its attack range was much larger.

  "O, fire element that permeates the heavens and earth! Grant me the power of burning flames, in my name, with your strength, appear, scorching blaze!" As he chanted the incantation, a small flame appeared on Ah-Dais hand, gently swaying back and forth, causing the surrounding temperature to rise significantly.

  "Teacher, teacher, I succeeded!" Ah-Dai excitedly shouted.

  Goris said in a bad mood: "Whats there to be excited about, its just the lowest level of fire magic. Dont forget the incantation. Recite it several times, and when reciting, dont recite the last word of the incantation. This low-level magic can be stopped at any time as long as the incantation is not completed. With your weak magical power, using it a few more times will make you faint again."

  "Oh, I see." Ah-Dai continued to recite the magic spell tirelessly. After a while, the servant came back and told them that the carriage was ready.

  Until he sat in the carriage, Ah Diao still didnt dare to believe that he could also enjoy the treatment of a carriage. The thick and soft cushion made him feel comfortable all over his body, and he looked around excitedly. As he sat in the carriage, he unconsciously thought of Ya Tou again, wondering how she was doing now. That old woman should be treating her well, shouldnt she?

  After a three-day journey, Gori and Ah-Dai finally entered the territory of Waryan Province. Along the way, Ah-Dai saw many things he had never seen before, although Gori was very impatient with his numerous questions, but still answered them one by one.
