Chapter 578: 186.Weak Chicken Fleet_3
Most of the magical glow in the night sky had dissipated, leaving only the eight black water tornadoes standing around the battlefield, still fulfilling their duty, completely blocking the path of the heavy transport ship.
At this moment, a Silent Crossbow Arrow struck the shield of the heavy transport ship. On the transparent ship shield, two small but very clear and bright gray flames burst out.
“Success?” Comini paused, “Jarvis, that is a gray flame right? Am I correct?”
“Yes.” Noland Lee nodded, he then cast Deconstruction to check the result.
After the gray flame burst out, the shield value of the disc-shaped ship suddenly decreased by more than 20,000 points!
It is important to know, a single Silent Crossbow Arrow only has 1 point of Silent Mana!
On average, 1 point of Silent Mana reduced more than 10,000 points of shield value, this law-breaking effect can only be described as incredible.
Noland Lee asked:
“Should we still fire the crossbow arrows?”
“No need.” Comini shook his head, “I’m going to report the situation to the professor. You guard here for now.”
Having said that, Comini, holding his crossbow arrow, entered the Dreamscape.
Noland Lee looked at the battlefield from a distance, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart.
Due to the star fleet’s resistance to fighting and the tasks assigned by the professor, he didn’t have the chance to snatch the final hit.
This prevented him from collecting energy points in the short battle.
At the moment when the wizards stopped, the light column of the traction magic ship disappeared.
At this time, the magic ship was pulled to a height about a dozen meters above the sea surface. After the tractor beam disappeared, it brought a huge and heavy body down towards the sea, causing a surge of several tens of meters with its fierce impact.
At the same time, more than a dozen wizards flew to the vicinity of the heavy transport ship, and seemed to trying to communicate with the crew inside the ship.
These ten or more wizards circled around the heavy transport ship, and came to the circular hatch just below the ship.
No one knew what they said or did inside, but after a few moments, the semi-transparent white shield outside the heavy transport ship flickered a few times and was then closed.
Without the hindrance of the ship’s shield, the dozen-plus wizards entered the ship smoothly, officially meeting the crew inside.
Noland Lee cast several deconstruction spells to check.
Those wizards who entered the ship all had the strength of the Ninth or Tenth rings, but only a few of them were combat wizards. They must be the delegation sent by the Ulnas Circle.
Noland Lee also wanted to go into the ship, to get a taste of the “Metal Creation Group”‘s technological feeling. But he understood that his current status was too low and that he would not have the opportunity to board the ship for a visit.
As for using “Mind Beacon” and “Mind View” to sneak a peek at the scene on the ship…
Noland Lee once again pondered his decision and ultimately chose to give up.
There was no choice. The thousands of combat wizards near the battlefield hadn’t left yet, and those dozens of wizards who entered the ship all have high-tier spirits.
Using mental magic in front of wizards of this scale and strength was no different from walking around naked on the street.
Although Noland was curious about the scene inside the ship, he wasn’t so adventurous that he would risk being discovered.
It seems there’s no chance to get on the ship~
Noland Lee sighed to himself.
The next second, Comini opened his eyes and said:
“Let’s go, we are going to the disc-shaped ship to meet with the wizard delegation.”
“Excuse me, what?” Noland Lee was regretful for not being able to board the ship, so he didn’t quite react at once:
“Did I hear that correctly? We’re going on the ship?”
“Yes, you heard correctly.”
Comini then patted the Silent Steal Crossbow in his hand:
“Professor Erica said that the crew members of the Star Fleet have personal shield generators, which function on similar principles as the ship’s shield generator but only protect individuals. Despite the smaller protection area, the strength of the shield is not the slightest bit inferior. To prevent the crew members from challenging the wizard delegation using their personal shield generators, we’ll go over there with the Silent Steel Crossbow to bolster the wizard delegation and intimidate the crew members,” Noland Lee said.
Comini reached into his magic pouch, searching for something as he spoke:
“Don’t say or do anything rash on the ship, and follow the arrangements of the Department of Magic. If you’re unsure of what to do, just follow my lead.”
A half metal mask was pulled out from the magic pouch by Comini and shoved into Noland’s hands:
“Here, put on this ‘Silent Enforcer’s Mask’. It’s a mask made by the School of Enchantment, and it can automatically adhere to the lower half of your face.”
Noland lifted the half mask to his face, and it floated out of his hand, affixing to the lower half of his face, covering his mouth and half of his nose.
[System Message:]
[You are now wearing the “Silent Enforcer’s Mask (Level 10)”]
[You have gained the effects of ‘Calm and Composed (Level 10)’ and ‘Enforcer’s Style’. The former reduces your emotional fluctuations by about 10%. The latter makes you look more like a genuine Silent Enforcer.]
[These two effects will continue until you remove the mask.]
Comini held the Silent Steel Crossbow in his hand, transforming it into a gray mist, and entering Flight Status.
“Alright, follow me. We need to move quickly so as not to keep the people in the Department of Magic waiting.”
Comini took the lead, with Noland following behind by applying “Death Flight”.
Before leaving, Noland activated ‘Soul Perception’ and gave Denise a brief rundown of the situation.
Denise understood and expressed support, stating she would stay put on the ship.
Seeing Denise’s obedience, Noland settled to catch up with Comini by accelerating his flight.
During the journey to the disc-shaped ship, he truly experienced the sensation of being under the gaze of thousands.
A full thousand combat wizards, all of whom had at least Sixth Ring Strength, watched him fly into the disc-shaped ship.
He entered the ship through the entrance, which was a circular hatch appearing at the bottom of the ship.
Through this door, a vast and empty cargo bay appeared before him. The walls were filled with grey metal pipelines and panels, an straightforward steel aura greeting him.
Meaningless slogans were written on the walls of the cargo bay, and the codes on the metal pipelines were composed of unfamiliar characters.
All of this suggested that the crew driving this ship came from another civilization.
Noland squinted at the crew standing on the floor of the cargo bay, a faint curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
The alleged ‘aliens’ looked much like humans. They had four limbs and skulls, but their bodies were slender, their heads were wide, their foreheads were broad, and their hairlines were generally worrisome.
The crew members were dressed in ship pilot uniforms with bulletproof transparent masks. On their left wrist, a wristwatch was flickering, their right hand was holding a technologically advanced firearm, and they also carried toolkits with multiple mechanical arms on their backs.
There were over a hundred crew members, all of whom were of the Dsmi series Synthetic Humans.
Their leader was a woman standing at the forefront of the team.
The woman’s outfit was different from the rest of the crew members.
She was dressed in a light gray windcoat that resembled a robe, with a hood and metal shoulder decorations. The fabric on her arms and chest was also adorned with patterns made up of unknown characters.
By the time Noland and Comini arrived, the wizard delegation was already communicating with the crew members.
Thanks to the aid of the Star Witch, the wizards had some understanding of the language used by Deep Space United Mining. To facilitate smooth communication with the others, the wizard delegation had prepared a magic fog that could automatically translate both languages in advance.
During the communication, the magic fog would simultaneously morph into two languages, thereby accomplishing the translation.
The wizards had quicker means of communication, such as using a universal spell called ‘Language Proficiency’. But this act required casting a spell, which had to be applied to the aliens.
In the event that the aliens had some unknown extraordinary traits capable of reacting to the spell, it could inadvertently result in trouble and disputes.
For safety’s sake, using a non-contact magic fog as a medium of communication was deemed more prudent.
