Mage Joan

"Come on, I don't have a noble lineage, so what kind of princess? "Princess Mononoke?" A village girl is a village girl. I don't care about the name of a princess!"

Hailar pretended to be disdainful, but the slightly raised corners of her lips exposed her true mentality.

Audrey took her best friend's hand and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "My dear, in this world, noble blood has long been knocked out of the world. Land and money are the capital to measure identity and status. From this perspective, You are much more magnificent than me, a poor princess who has no real fief! If one day I can't hang on in Canaan, I will come to Galti Island and run for you. For the sake of sisterhood, you can reward I'll eat one bite!"

"Of course there is no problem! As long as I still have a bite to eat, I will never let my good sister go hungry!" Hailar patted his small-scale **** and said vigorously: "Audrey, I will call you... …How about Princess Galti’s consort?"

"Okay! Honey, let's get married!"

"Enough of you guys, just stop joking!"

Qiao An couldn't help complaining, and the two girls spread dog food in public.

Audrey smiled and turned her head: "My dear, you also give Qiao An an official position..."

"I can't stand you two crazy girls!"

Qiao An hurriedly hid, and asked Heller about the origin of the archmage who enchanted the ghost ship.

"Dr. Vader, in fact, the archmage does not need me to introduce you to recognize him, and you are more familiar with this person than I am." Heller smiled mysteriously.

"Is this person my arcane tutor at Midgard University, Professor Moriarty?" Qiao An asked tentatively.

Heller nodded and continued: "In early August of this year, I went to Midgard University to invite Professor Moriarty to participate in the construction of the ghost ship. After a lot of words, I finally took out the'Holy Grail of Death' as ​​a reward. Finally, I invited Mr. Professor, Dr. Vader, I remember you were there?"

Qiao An nodded, and finally realized why he felt familiar when he "first saw" Heller in Freeport.

In fact, it was not the first time they met. Heller had visited Moriarty's laboratory as "Mr. Tiger" more than a month ago.

It's just that Heller wore a tiger mask on his face and changed his body shape using magic techniques, so Qiao An didn't know his true identity.

"My cooperation with Professor Moriarty is very enjoyable. The professor worked on the ship in just one week to get all the magic functions I want. He deserves to be Dr. Vader’s teacher. People often say that famous teachers make good students. Come here too."

Heller said with a smile.

"Mr. Heller, what is the purpose of the'Holy Grail' that you used to hire Moriarty's teacher?"

Qiao An couldn't let go of this incident, and simply asked in person.

Heller put away his smile, gave him a complicated look, then pretended to inadvertently look away, and said, "I got that thing by accident. I don't know what it is for... You still go to Mr. Professor Inquire."

Qiao An heard that he was insincere, but he was inconvenient to ask, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart for a while and changed the subject.

"Mr. Heller, can I check which spells are enchanted on the ghost ship?"

"Of course it's okay!" The storm giant smiled again.

The ghost ship "New Herringhorn", before the spirit body was transformed, looked like a really ordinary sailing ship, but when Qiao Ann flew onto the ship, he immediately felt a familiar breath, and used it." "Advanced Inner Vision" to detect the hull.

...

Reconnaissance target: super giant construct

Life level: 30

Attributes: Strength 48, Agility 8, Constitution -, Intelligence 4, Wisdom 16, Charisma 22

Special abilities: activation rope, hidden fog, travel in the spirit world, teleportation in other worlds; other (unproven)

...

The investigation results confirmed what Qiao An felt just now that the ghost ship is actually a smart ship-shaped structure.

With curiosity, Joan drew No. 4 Rune Ansuz on the deck, analyzing which enchanting techniques Professor Moriarty had applied on this ship.

Magical auras appeared on the deck, condensing in the air into a magical configuration, and there were no more than ten visually. It seems that Professor Moriarty has worked **** this ship.

After preliminary analysis, Qiao An basically cracked the enchantment process of the ghost ship.

If the ghost ship is regarded as a huge magical device, the embryonic material is the sailing ship built by Heller imitating the "Heringhorn".

One of Prof. Moriarty’s ideas is to nest the 3-ring "Shrinking Technique" and the 6-ring "Advanced Shrinking Technique" into a module, and then attach it to this ship with a deadweight of nearly 2,000 tons. It can be reduced to one-1.6 millionth of the normal volume, and the reduced weight is less than 3 pounds. It is as large as a wine bottle and can be easily carried in a backpack.

Professor Moriarty’s constant second core spell for this ship is the 7-level "Advanced Item Activation Art", which turns the shrunken sailing ship into an activated construct. The next operation process is to make the magic machine with Joan. The craftsmanship of soldiers is similar, but the spells used are more high-end.

Since the ghost ship is a constructed creature, it is inevitable to implant a spirit. Professor Moriarty used the 8th-level spell "Higher Bound of Other Worlds" to call a "Water Elemental Elder" from the Water Elemental Plane, concluded a contract with it, sealed it inside the ship, and became the so-called "Ship Spirit".

With the authorization of the owner, the "ship spirit" can rely on its own intelligence to control the ghost ship, worthy of the role of an entire crew of seafarers. Because of this, when Qiao Ann and the others encountered the ghost ship three times, they did not see even a sailor on the ship.

Ordinary people have never seen this kind of sailing boat that can be fully automated and unmanned. Naturally, they suspect that the sailing boat is an invisible and intangible soul. The rumors about the "ghost ship" spread in this way, and this is true. It is the propaganda effect that Heller expects.

In addition to the construction spells mentioned above, Qiao An also analyzed many spells corresponding to other functions on the ghost ship.

For example, the "hidden fog technique" and "deep darkness technique" used to create fog and dark environment, cover the hull and set the atmosphere; the "complete repair technique" that automatically repairs the hull injury; the "activation technique" used to tow the ship and rescue the drowned "Cable"; and "Advanced Teleportation" that can instantly cross the ocean.

Among all these spells, there are only two that Qiao An has never learned or copied, the 7th-level spell spell "Mansion Spell", and the 9th-level change spell "Similar Travel Spirit World".
