Harriet Terrence’s face revealed a hint of surprise.
He was a little surprised.
Those who were familiar with Dayshannon knew that although the princess had secretly snuck into the Tulip Academy to study, it was only because she was bored.
She had always hated boring and tedious meditation and was only interested in rare and strange magic potions.
Now she actually wanted to study magic seriously?!
“I don’t want to one day.”
Dayshannon looked at the distant sea level and said, “I don’t even have the right to stand by Joelson’s side.”
Harriet was the best example. The lifespan of a saint-level powerhouse was more than five times that of an ordinary person.
Joelson was going to step into the saint-level sooner or later. If Dayshannon did not work hard, in the future, even if the two of them were still in love, time would forcefully separate them.
“Grandpa Harriet Terrence, do you think Joelson will come back?”
“Of course, very soon.”
Joelson stood on the deck. The surface of the sea was bumpy, but his body was as steady as if he was standing on flat ground.
If one observed carefully, one would find that there was always a smiling distance between Joelson’s feet and the deck.
This was just a small technique to use air magic.
It could prevent seasickness.
“Respected mage Joelson.”
A rough voice sounded behind Joelson. Lucas. No, he should be called Potter now.
He was not the real Lucas, but Lucas’ subordinate.
“The Boss invites you to dinner.”
Joelson turned around and nodded slightly.
Potter stepped aside to make way. Standing in front of Joelson, he was seven feet tall, but he always felt like he could not raise his head.
There was a unique temperament about Joelson. He was cold and repressed, and every time, it made his heart palpitate.
Walking into the cabin, a young girl in light leather armor sat at the dining table and ate a plate of salmon. From time to time, she would take a swig of the hard liquor in her hand and gulp it down.
There was no reserve or elegance of a girl at all.
This was the young girl with sea salt tea that Joelson saw for the first time.
She was the real Lucas.
The leader of every generation of ships in Lucas Town was called Lucas. The father of the young girl, old Lucas, died five years ago. She was the successor of young Lucas.
It could also be called “Lucas”.
This was more like a girl’s name.
“Sit down and taste this rare delicacy, Lord Joelson.”
Lucas’ mouth was full of fish oil. He smiled and said to Joelson, “This is the salmon that was caught this morning. The meat is very delicious.”
Joelson sat down without any expression. He looked at the unappetizing salmon meat in front of him and said, “How long will it take to reach the central continent?”
Lucas’ mouth was full. She answered vaguely, “At least two months.”
“Two months?”
Joelson frowned and said, “I heard that you only need one month to go back and forth every time.”
This was what Harriet Terrence had told him. Lucas’ ship went to the central continent twice every five months. Each round trip would take one month, which was exactly twice a year.
“It’s different.”
Lucas shook her head and said, “If you’re willing to wait in town for two months, then we can reach the central continent in half a month. Not now.”
“Why?”
Lucas explained, “There are many factors. The direction of the wind, the direction of the current, the weather, and…”
She paused for a moment, and her eyes became solemn.
“The resting time of certain existences.”
“Hmm?”
A hint of doubt appeared in Joelson’s eyes.
“You know, the ocean is much more terrifying than we imagined. Beneath the blue surface of the ocean, there are many terrifying and ferocious monsters lurking!”
“Water-type magical beasts!”
“Right!”
Lucas nodded and said, “In the ocean, these fellows are far more dangerous than those of the same level on land. A tier 9 deep-sea magical beast can even erupt with power close to saint-level in the ocean. Think about it, what a terrifying scene it is.”
“The route from the southern region to the central continent took decades of effort from the Lucas family. My parents paid with their lives to understand the habits of the sea monsters along the way so that they could return safely for so many years. You have to set off now. I have no choice but to be more careful. Sometimes, I even need to change the route to take a longer route.”
Lucas shrugged helplessly at Joelson.
Joelson was silent for a moment. He nodded and said, “I hope you’re not lying to me. I want to get there as soon as possible.”
“I want to get there as soon as possible too. Do you really think I like to eat these salty and fishy things?”
Lucas spat out a fishbone and said, “But compared to these things, my life is more important.”
Joelson returned to his cabin and closed the door.
He set up a few magic arrays and then returned to the space of the Dragon God Ranch.
He could not let these two months at sea go to waste.
He did not know what he would face in the central continent. If he increased his strength now, he would have more power to protect himself in the future.
“In two months, the accumulated experience should be enough for me to advance to a tier 9 mage.”
Joelson said to himself, “I can increase the strength of a knight once again.”
Joelson’s training on the path of a knight basically depended on the powerful effects of the dragon blood potion.
Joelson was preparing to concoct several dragon blood potions with different attributes.
After the variety of dragons in the ranch increased, there were more choices.
However, after starting the experiment, he encountered a very awkward problem.
Not all dragon blood was suitable for concocting the dragon blood potion.
Currently, the steel dragon was one of the most powerful dragons under Joelson.
As a rank 9 metal-type dragon, its physical defense had already reached a terrifying level.
Joelson mustered his combat aura and the strength of a rank 8 knight. It took him a lot of effort to extract a little bit of dragon blood from the steel dragon’s tongue.
However, the steel dragon’s blood made him dumbfounded.
It was as thick as molten iron, and there was no way for it to react with the other ingredients in the dragon blood potion.
The concoction failed.
Immediately after, Joelson turned his attention to the cloud dragon.
Combining the advantages of the fire and water elements, the cloud dragon had great potential.
However, its body was soft and light, like a huge ball of cotton or a white cloud. It could not catch its body at all.
The cloud dragon was a semi-elemental body. It was between a physical body and an illusion. There was no blood at all.
Another failure.
Fortunately, Curtis’ and Lightning’s blood were useful.
After taking two different doses of dragon blood potions consecutively, Joelson’s physique took another leap.
He directly broke through level eight and advanced to level nine.
Moreover, it was possible that his body contained the bloodline of both plant dragon and water dragon.
The two produced wonderful changes, and Joelson’s recovery ability was greatly enhanced.
The sharp dagger left a white mark on Joelson’s arm.
Only when Joelson activated his battle spirit did the blade cut the skin, and fresh blood flowed out.
In less than half a minute, the wound closed up and contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it scabbed.
It was as resilient as a dragon.
