Chapter 266 Clues (4k)

Approximately in the north-east direction, there is a brown spot the size of a peanut on the blue sea.

With his strong eyesight, Colin could tell that it was a brown dhow.

And it is not difficult to tell from the appearance on the deck that this is a fishing boat used for offshore fishing.

Without much hesitation, he slowly lowered his altitude and flew decisively towards the fishing boat.

In this world, this kind of fishing boat is definitely not suitable for ocean voyages...

The fact that it appears here now means that there must be an island nearby for it to dock!

Not long after, the fishing boat was about one nautical mile away.

In mid-air, Colin stopped, removed the Light Flame Soaring Technique, and allowed gravity to pull him down.

When he was near the sea, he blessed himself with the flying and diving technique and dove into the water.

The whole process was just like a fish swimming in water, causing only a small splash.

As for Naxi...

When the Flying Diving Technique reaches the water, it can spontaneously form a circle of air bubbles surrounding itself, enough to contain the petite Naxi.

Just like that, Colin disappeared and quietly sneaked up to the fishing boat.

The waves were rolling, and he stood silently beside the boat, carefully controlling his field of vision, trying to only cover the fishing boat, and then entered a super-sensory state.

In the vast sea, supersensory vision cannot be entered so easily.

However, it's relatively fine during the day. As long as you don't stare at the vast sea all the time, and as long as you're not particularly unlucky and just happen to see some unknown existence, you'll generally be fine.

'It's time to learn some non-scanning detection magic...such as visual, olfactory and so on. ’ Colin thought subconsciously.

Your own three abilities of detection are due to the synthesized material witchcraft. Whether it is detecting magic energy or detecting life, etc., the principle is to emit a special "wave" by itself, and then judge the detection through the feedback received. .

Therefore, the principle of detecting the three energy is the same, but the wave released is more complex, and it has a more comprehensive detection capability without increasing the consumption of magic energy too much.

However, this type of detection witchcraft has an obvious drawback - these "waves" emitted may be detected.

So although the dhow in front of you is just a fishing boat, the crew on it is most likely just ordinary people, with at most some knight cultivation.

But for the sake of caution, he still chose to observe through the super-sensory vision, which was more difficult to detect.

As Colin thought, the originally blue sky in his field of vision suddenly turned gray, and countless large and small black flocculent floating objects filled everywhere.

Whether it was the sky, the deck, or in front of him, they were all covered with these "filthy murmurs" composed of black spots like writhing insects.

Colin has long been accustomed to this appearance under the super-sensory vision. The firm and bright aura of humanity and knowledge on his body firmly resists the dark spots.

He turned his head calmly and carefully observed the deck in front of him.

‘Sure enough... this is most likely just an ordinary fishing boat. ’

After a while, Colin exited the super-sensory state and judged secretly in his heart.

Generally speaking, in the supersensory state, in addition to observing the dirty murmurs floating around in the world, you can also observe the spiritual mist that all living things possess, or the aura on the body's surface.

For wizards, because the senior wizard apprentices have not yet broken through the mental fog, so the mental fog is all over the body.

In other words, without the use of disguised witchcraft, as long as there is still mental fog on the body, it must be below the strength of a senior wizard apprentice.

But at this moment, when he scanned the deck, all he could see with the naked eye was a pale white spiritual mist, without any aura on his body.

Of course...looking at the deck isn't enough.

So Colin used the blind spot to easily board the fishing boat.

With his current strength, even if there is no invisible shadow, just relying on his quick speed, ultra-fast reaction and super brain, he can calculate the blind spots in the field of vision and choose the right time, like an invisible man on the ship. It's like entering a deserted place.

Not to mention that there is still invisible shadow assistance at this moment.

The average person's powers of observation are worse than they think.

After about five minutes, Colin completely inspected the entire fishing boat.

There were a total of eighteen people on the ship, all of whom were below the level of senior apprentices and could not threaten his existence.

After doing this, Colin walked onto the deck and came to the captain's cabin.

Inside, by the porthole behind the empty chart table, stood two figures.

Colin found a corner where the surrounding environment would not change and stood quietly waiting.

The reason why invisible shadow cannot hide a moving target is not because the target is moving, but mainly because the environment around the target is changing.

When the environment changes, the corresponding angles of some light bends must also be adjusted accordingly. It's just that the invisible shadow cannot adjust so quickly, so it will leak out.

‘So…as long as the Invisible Shadow’s ability to quickly change the bending angle of light can be enhanced, perhaps its shortcomings can be made up for? ’ Colin thought subconsciously.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after wearing the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment, this kind of aura would pop up in my mind from time to time…

Shaking his head slightly, Colin collected his thoughts and focused on the two people opposite who seemed to be looking at the scenery through the porthole.

The reason why he came to this fishing boat and spent so much time inspecting it was not to waste energy.

There is only one real purpose, and that is to find out which island the ship comes from, so as to determine its location.

'It's a pity...the table where the chart should have been placed is now empty, otherwise you could have determined your position in advance. ’ Colin moved his eyes to the table not far in front of him.

The next second, he suddenly looked up again.

Because the two figures spoke.

"Jack, how long does it take to reach the fishing place?"

The red-haired boy standing on the left suddenly asked the old man next to him. He did not turn his head and kept looking at the sea, with a slightly sad expression on his face.

"About ten minutes." Old Jack, standing upright next to him, replied.

His tone was as meticulous as the neatly trimmed pale hair on his head, and his strong muscles made the worn linen short sleeves bulge.

Looks like he should be a great knight.

"Yes." The red-haired boy responded softly through his nose, and then the two fell into silence again.

Colin waited patiently.

If you are in a sea area controlled by gods, then as a hostile wizard, the most critical factor to ensure your survival is to hide yourself, like a ghost, leaving no traces.

He didn't want to expose himself, so he didn't want to take down the two of them to ask for directions, and chose to wait quietly... Anyway, it was already afternoon, and if he waited a few hours at the latest, the fishing boat would have to return, and he could Know where the island where the fishing boat is located is based on the direction.

'Unfortunately, it is too dangerous to fly too high on the ocean, otherwise we should be able to see the island where this fishing boat is located directly... After all, the speed of this fishing boat is not fast, and it stands to reason that the island should be nearby. ’ Colin thought boredly.

At this time, the two figures spoke again.

"Jack..." This was the young man's unconscious murmur, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he said nothing.

"Master Ant, everything will pass. I heard those priests lament that the wizards have advanced one step further on the frontline battlefield.

I think as long as I continue to persevere, the liberation of Pahama Island will always be waiting for me! "

"When the time comes, relying on the former reputation of the Basa master and the contribution he made to Pahama Island during the invasion of the gods, the Supreme Council will definitely help you restore the glory of the Basa family."

The old man next to him seemed to understand something and comforted him in a deep voice.

"Sigh... It's not easy. In the huge Basa family, only my sister and I are left, and you are lucky enough to survive. My sister has no wizard talent, and I - even with the help of my father, my talent on the wizard path is only mediocre... …

Even if the wizard can regain the Pahama Island by then, I am weak alone. Even with the help of the Supreme Council, I may not be able to restore the family to its glory when my father, who is a second-level powerful man, is in charge. "The young man sighed, but he saw all this very clearly.

"What's more, given the current situation, it's still unknown whether we can persist until then... Recently, Sister Anna accidentally revealed her true face and was entangled by that beast Li En. She still doesn't know how to deal with it. There is a priest behind him..."

The boy continued talking, but Colin had lost interest in continuing to listen.

"The islands of Pahama...liberated from the hands of the gods..."

The most critical information has been learned, and he can already deduce his location.

"Is it really in the area occupied by the gods..."

Colin couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He took a deep breath, recalled the sea map in his mind, and carefully searched for the island named Pahama.

After a while, he found several suspected islands.

The reason why there are several is because these islands are all in areas occupied by gods, also called Pahama...

The ocean is vast, so it is normal to have several islands with the same name.

Colin was not surprised, but he felt that he might need to look at the outline of the Pahama Island again to determine which Pahama Island it was.

But thinking about it, he felt a little hesitant.

At this moment, I already know that I am in the sea area controlled by the gods, and the Pahama Island is also an island controlled by the gods... It is really unwise to take risks again.

While thinking about it, Colin looked at the chart again.

Fortunately, those islands called Pahama are mostly concentrated on the left side.

After pondering for a moment, Colin finally decided to choose a general direction - northeast, and set off immediately, avoiding all islands, and nearly escaping from the sea controlled by the gods!

Although the plan was simple, he knew in his heart... that the road ahead would not be easy.

Now this place is deep in the sea area controlled by the gods, and the journey has been relatively peaceful.

But when you get to the back, especially when you get close to the front line, you don’t need to think too much to know that there will definitely be a large number of god believers patrolling the sea area!

If you want to break through such a blockade and return to the wizard side, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to reach the sky!

When——!

At this moment, a loud bell suddenly sounded from the center of the deck.

In the captain's room, old Jack and young Ant suddenly stopped talking.

"It's time for afternoon prayer again... so fast." Ant sighed softly, and his expressions calmed down along with Old Jack's. Then he subconsciously stretched out his hand to straighten the clothes on his chest, and then slowly walked towards the deck.

"God's prayer..." Colin was inexplicably surprised.

Only then did he suddenly have a more realistic understanding that he was in a sea area controlled by gods.

This is not his fault, mainly because the performance of old Jack and young Ant is too normal, without any weird pious appearance like ordinary believers of gods.

Hmm...doesn't he look like a believer in a god?

Thinking of this, Colin's heart moved and he vaguely realized something.

He hesitated for a moment and quietly followed Ant and the others, intending to observe them more carefully.

At this moment, Ant and Old Jack, who had already walked out of the captain's cabin, seemed to have stepped through not the door of the captain's cabin, but some kind of "transformation" door. They actually looked like different people!

Old Jack's originally straight back suddenly bent a bit, and the skin on his face sank, with folds stacked together like continuous land ravines.

The spirit of the great knight and the elegance that seemed to come from being a noble servant were completely gone.

On the other side, all the sorrow on young Ant's face disappeared, leaving only a silent and solemn expression - that was piety.

Coupled with his originally unremarkable appearance, he looked like a real ordinary fisherman boy.

‘But…it’s impossible to judge based on this alone. ’ Colin continued to observe.

The two Ants walked towards the strange statue in the center of the deck step by step. Their steps were light and slow, and the distance between them was not large, almost small steps.

The sailors who gathered next to the statue were all the same. Their steps were unified and their expressions were exactly the same piety.

Then, a tall girl walked out from below the deck. She wore a dark gray headscarf on her head, and her red hair was almost completely covered, with only some traces showing at her ears and temples.

A fat gray linen robe covered her whole body, and her figure could not be seen. She could only notice that she was much taller than the average woman.

Her face was as pious as the people around her.

Bang.

Bang bang bang——

Suddenly, a dull sound came, and Colin subconsciously turned his head to look.

When the devout crowd walked about five meters away from the statue, they suddenly knelt down as if following some kind of ritual.

The dull sound was the sound of their knees hitting the deck.

But that's it, it's not over yet.

The kneeling believers continued to move forward bit by bit on their knees until they were close to the statue.

Then, when everyone knelt and moved to the statue, the prayers began.

Colin focused almost all of his attention on the young Ant.

At this glance, he really found a clue!

I saw that young man Ant, although he lowered his head and muttered something like an ordinary sailor believer on the side, his face was equally pious.

But his shoulders and back, which were hidden under the linen short sleeves, could not escape Super Brain's careful observation.

Colin could see that Ant was secretly working hard and seemed to be enduring something...

Seeing this scene, the thoughts in his heart gradually became clear——

This young man who seems to be from a wizard family may have the method or equipment to disguise himself as a believer in the gods!
