Chapter 9 Offline
Not long ago.
High in the air, several kilometers away.
"I think your tribe is tired of living! How dare you break the contract!"
"Ha, a contract? Isn't that meant to be torn up? How can you, a mage, be so foolish!"
Two figures faced off against each other in this place.
One of them was wearing a red robe, making it impossible to discern his appearance, while the other was a merman elder.
The question just now was posed by the red-robed mage, while the merman elder seemed dismissive of the red-robed mage's accusations.
This guy actually treats contracts like worthless paper?
Shaking his head, Master Harvey had nothing more to say.
Unaware of the impending doom, no wonder they can only be vassals of the merfolk.
In the distance, the seawater was parted by an invisible force, then froze into ice, and subsequently, an area of dozens of miles around was blocked by ice walls.
This is the power of magic. Harvey didn't even use any high-level magic; he simply used Wind Wall to forcibly separate the ocean, and then used Ice Wall to create four huge ice walls.
"You and your people will pay the price for this, not just your tribe, but your entire race."
"What do you mean?!"
The elder merman's question was met with a barrage of magical attacks. Fire rained down from the sky, and storms raged on the sea. Without exception, these attacks were all directed at him, clearly the work of the mage Harvey.
Faced with such a massive attack, the merman elder could only hide and dodge. When he couldn't avoid it, he had to rely on divine magic to withstand it. Originally, he could resist it to some extent with the divine magic bestowed by the gods. However, for some reason, the divine magic that was once invincible now not only consumed more energy than before, but its effect was also much lower.
"Has your god responded to you?"
Harvey scoffed, saying he had plenty of time to deal with the enemy priest.
"My god will tear you to pieces!"
Spouting meaningless threats, the merman elder retreated step by step, his body covered in wounds, not a single piece of flesh unscathed.
It turns out that you should never fight a prepared mage.
Harvey never expected that when he casually suggested arranging the fight here, someone would actually dare to challenge a mage to a duel; that was truly courageous.
Harvey looked at the magic circle beneath his feet. This magic circle was specifically designed to block divine power and could greatly weaken all divine spells. The already weak merman elder's divine spells were further weakened by the magic circle.
In no time at all, the chieftain of the merfolk tribe, a devout follower of the god of storms and the sea, fell forever.
Despite the murloc elder's numerous wounds, Harvey carefully preserved his body using only magic.
This is an excellent experimental subject; isn't that what he wasted half a day for?
After collecting the body, Harvey quickly discovered something.
Huh? What's that?
With a sweep of his mental energy, Harvey's face darkened noticeably as he surveyed everything on the ship. Clearly, his powerful mental energy had uncovered the deal between the Mentu family and the Fish-Men.
"Is someone colluding with the enemy?"
How dare anyone do something that the Mage Alliance has explicitly forbidden?
"Alright, alright, I've got it. The Mentu family, huh? Just you wait!"
"Well, you're lucky, kid. Since we've run into each other, I'll give you a hand."
As he spoke, the mage Harvey waved his staff.
Teleportation
Harvey casually teleported the ship to a deserted island not far from Fascis Island. He left some things for the little guy on the ship and then used the teleportation spell to return himself to Fascis Island.
As for your question about why the ship wasn't sent back?
Because it's interesting, and because it's none of my business.
I'm already being kind by giving you a hand, what more do you want? Do you expect me to take you on as my apprentice?
With this in mind, Harvey returned to his loyal Fascist Island.
"Gentlemen! The mission was a great success. The merfolk have broken the treaty, and their allies, the mermaids, are now bound by the contract. It is time for the alliance to launch an attack on the merfolk in the coastal waters. There seem to be too many merfolk in the coastal waters."
"Excellent, Harvey! Well done! You've done a great job! Now the cultivation of sea potions can proceed on a large scale again."
"Good, I've found a test subject for my bloodline research."
"Great! I've had my eye on those fish-headed people for a long time! The alliance did a good job this time; they deserve a good lesson!"

on board.
Jiang Shuzhou felt a powerful pressure descend upon the ship, rendering him unable to move and causing him great discomfort.
Fortunately, the oppressive force came and went quickly; in just a few seconds, Jiang Shuzhou found that he could move again.
This is clearly the legendary level suppression. If Harvey hadn't meant no harm to Jiang Shuzhou, he probably would have been sent back to the respawn point long ago.
In the captain's cabin, Jiang Shuzhou, who was feeling relieved, suddenly felt dizzy. Before he fainted, he saw the space around him distorted and deformed, breaking like a mirror and then reforming like a mirror.
"I'm truly impressed by you, you sixth brother!"
Who would have thought that even after everyone had left, there would still be a sneak attack?
I hope I'm still alive, otherwise I'll have to go through the whole story again. And this lousy game's story is just too difficult!
These were Jiang Shuzhou's last thoughts before he collapsed.
On the beach of a deserted island, a pirate ship suddenly appears, waves crashing against its hull, and crabs beside the ship are so frightened that they bury themselves in the sand.
Jiang Shuzhou woke up on the floor of the captain's cabin.
The first thing Jiang Shuzhou did upon waking up was to check if all the parts of his body were still there.
Fortunately, none of its parts were missing.
Upon opening the menu, Jiang Shuzhou discovered that his personal storyline was complete, and the system was now ready to be used.
"Is it already November 2nd?"
Jiang Shuzhou was stunned. The game was released at 10:00 AM on November 1st. He entered the game at 10:30 AM, and now it was already past 2:00 PM on November 2nd.
A day has passed? Why do I feel like I've only been awake for two or three hours?
Dude? In other games, being unconscious is just part of the story, but in yours, it's actually making me skip time?!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Shuzhou quickened his pace of looting. It was already the second day, and he was worried that his body in reality wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Is this... left for me?"
On the table in the captain's cabin were several items that Jiang Shuzhou remembered were not present when he had searched the place before.
The inventory function is now available, and Jiang Shuzhou didn't hesitate to put these items into his inventory. He'd check the item descriptions later when he logged in.
After quickly searching the captain's cabin, Jiang Shuzhou habitually locked the door from the inside and then planned to leave.
Please note that, for the sake of PVP gameplay, your in-game avatar will not disappear after you log off. Please log off in a safe location to avoid unnecessary loss of life or property.
That's fine too. After all, nobody wants to fight someone in the wild, and then someone logs off to become a cowardly lizard in the middle of a fierce battle.
After maneuvering his body to lie on the bed in the captain's cabin, Jiang Shuzhou logged off.
He really didn't want to experience that painful feeling of lying on the ground again—he'd already done it three times.
