Dumb scratched his head. The word 'pirate' did not leave a deep impression in his mind. When he encountered something he did not understand, he decided to go back to his room and ask Goris. To him, the world was so novel. He wanted to understand everything he encountered. It did not matter even if he could not remember it.

"Teacher, teacher, there's a big ship outside. There's a lot of people shouting pirates. What's the meaning of pirates?! "Running back to his room, Dumb asked excitedly before he could stand still.

Goris was shocked. He sat up on the bed and said, "What did you say? The pirates are here. "

Dumb said, "It's a big black ship. Their sails have skulls painted on them. Some people on our ship are shouting pirates. I don't know if it's true. "

Goris frowned. Although he was not afraid of pirates, he did not want to have a conflict with them when he was not feeling well. He hoped that the sailors on the passenger ship could handle it.

Dumb asked, "Teacher, what's the meaning of pirates?"

Goris said subconsciously, "Pirates are people who steal things. They sometimes kill people."

After hearing Goris's explanation, Dumb let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then there's nothing to be afraid of. I don't have anything for them to steal. Ah! Teacher, you have to be careful. The gold and purple coins on you might be stolen by them. It's better to hide them first. Where should I hide them? "As he spoke, Dumb looked around the cabin for a place to hide.

After hearing Dumb's silly words, Goris felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Is he worried about me? Goris thought to himself. How long has it been since he felt cared for? Goris shook his head in frustration. He grabbed Dumb and threw him on the bed. "Be quiet."

Dumb didn't understand why the teacher was angry. He sat on the bed and didn't dare to make a sound.

Ding, ding, ding, ding sounds could be heard continuously. The big ship shook violently. Goris, who was standing, hurriedly held onto the side of the wall to steady himself. He knew that it was really pirates who came to rob them. The sound just now was made by the grappling hooks grabbing onto the hull. The noise kept coming from outside, and Goris became even more irritated. The shaking just now made him feel even more nauseous. The acid in his stomach kept rushing up, and the feeling of seasickness was really uncomfortable.

"Listen up, people on the ship. We are pirates. Hurry up and hand over all your valuables. Otherwise, don't blame us for drinking blood with the weapons in our hands." A rough and arrogant voice came from outside, indicating that the pirates had begun to move. Goris knew that the pirates were not so easy to deal with. Even if they handed over the money, they might not let the lives on the ship go. After all, every group of pirates hoped to be surrounded by the fleets of the Tenjin Empire, and the best way to keep a secret was to turn everyone who had seen them into corpses. Sinking the ship was their usual way of doing things. It saved time and effort. Goris thought to himself, "It seems that I have to do it. Swimming is simply impossible for me."

Pushing open the cabin door, Goris walked out. The reflection of the sun on the sea made him feel even more dizzy. Grabbing the railing, Goris couldn't help but retch.

A pair of small hands appeared behind Goris and patted him gently. Goris suddenly felt a lot better. After vomiting the last mouthful, he turned his head and saw Dumb looking at him anxiously.

"Go back to the room. Hurry up. "Goris shouted sternly.

Dumb was stunned. Although Goris's voice was rough, there was no coldness in it. Instead, there was a hint of concern. Dumby didn't move. He and Goris stared at each other. The old and the young just stared at each other for a long time. After a while, Goris realized that he had lost his composure. He grabbed Dumb and shoved him into the room. "Don't come out." After saying that, he walked towards the messy lower deck.

This group of pirates were obviously habitual criminals, and each of them had good skills. They had already pulled the passenger ship to their side, and dozens of pirates had already jumped onto the passenger ship, waving the weapons in their hands and clamoring non-stop. The captain of the passenger ship led the sailors to gather at the front of the ship. Most of the twenty or so sailors had a panicked look on their faces.

A one-eyed pirate was leading more than ten people to negotiate with the captain. Goris released a wind amplification spell. The conversation between the captain and the pirates was clearly heard.

"Big brother, we, we are willing to give you all the profits from this operation. Please let the small boat go. I promise not to report it. How about it?" The captain obviously knew what the pirates were going to do. He said humbly.

The one-eyed pirate laughed loudly. "Profits? How much profit can you make? Don't give me that. Just stay here and mind your own business. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and let you go. If you want to play any tricks, don't blame me for being merciless. "After saying that, he suddenly slashed the scimitar in his hand at the side of the ship. There was a flash of light, and with a bang, a hole suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. Goris's heart skipped a beat. This pirate leader's kung fu was not weak! The seemingly simple blow just now contained the qi of a master. The blade did not touch the side of the ship, but it caused a lot of damage.

The captain and the crew were obviously frightened by the powerful blow, and none of them dared to make a sound.

The one-eyed pirate arrogantly shouted to his men, "Guys, hurry up. After this mission, let's go back to drink and eat meat." The pirates immediately shouted with his voice. The rooms on the first floor of the cabin had basically been opened. The passengers were pulled to the deck, and the pirates were carrying out their looting operation. If the passengers resisted a little, they would immediately be punched and kicked. For a moment, everyone was in a panic. Some of the passengers had taken the initiative to offer their belongings to the pirates to ensure a moment of safety.

Goris knew it was time for him to make a move. He didn't care about these pirates. What he was most afraid of was that they would sink the ship. The wind amplification magic spread his voice far away. "All of you stop." The low voice could be clearly heard by everyone on the pirate ship and the passenger ship.

The pirate chief's expression froze. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Goris walking down the stairs unhurriedly. He thought to himself, I can't be so unlucky. Could it be that I've encountered a magician? He shouted, "Everyone stop." The pirates obviously saw the leader's hesitation and gathered around him. For a moment, hundreds of eyes were focused on Goris.

Goris coughed twice, barely suppressing the feeling of dizziness, and said to the pirate leader, "Leave this ship immediately."

The pirates looked at each other, waiting for the leader to speak. The one-eyed pirate looked up and down at Goris. His heart was also drumming. They hadn't had a chance to fish for a long time. This time, they had finally caught a big fish. How could they let it go so easily? However, the person in front of him seemed to be a magician of a high level. He was well aware of the terror of a magician. "Sir, are you a magician?" he asked tentatively.

Goris didn't answer his question. He coldly snorted and said, "I'll say it again. Leave this ship immediately."

Without waiting for the one-eyed pirate to speak, a sturdy pirate couldn't stand it anymore. He took a step forward and waved the mace in his hand, saying, "You old thing, I think you're tired of living." With both hands holding the huge mace that weighed at least 25 kilograms, he smashed it towards Goris with his head held high.

Before coming down, Goris had already cast wind magic on himself. Of course, he wouldn't be frightened by the boorish man in front of him. His body shrank slightly and he floated three feet away. With a loud bang, the mace in the boorish man's hand smashed deep into the wooden deck.

Goris stretched out his right hand and shook his five fingers slightly. A light blue powder floated out and accurately fell on the boorish man's mace.

Puff! Puff! The boorish man was startled. The mace in his hand suddenly became hot, and he subconsciously let go of it. He was shocked to find that his mace, which was made of fine iron, was gradually melting. It had turned into black molten iron, and an unpleasant smell was emitted from it. The boorish man took a few steps back in horror. He pointed at Goris and said, "You, who are you?"

The blue powder that Goris had just sprinkled was the Gold Melting Powder that he had refined himself. It could melt almost all metals.

The pirate leader stepped forward and pulled the boorish man back. He politely said to Goris, "Sir, you must be an alchemist. Please accept my greetings. "

Goris stretched out his right hand and whispered a few incantations. The black flame that had melted the wooden table in front of Uncle Li reappeared in his palm. The black flame looked very strange under the sunlight. The pirate leader was shocked and looked at Goris in a daze.

Goris said coldly, "Do you want me to repeat it a third time?"

Just as the pirate leader was at a loss, a deep voice sounded. "I was wondering who was blocking my way to wealth. It turned out to be the famous Magic Flame Warlock, Goris!"

Goris was shocked. The voice seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible for him to identify the other party's position. This was a big taboo for magicians who were not good at close combat. What surprised him the most was that the person knew his identity. He quickly chanted a spell, and a layer of black mist was emitted from his body, completely enveloping the surrounding three feet.

"Don't be nervous. How could I dare to fight Master Goris?" A black figure flashed out of the pirate ship and landed lightly in front of Goris.

Goris looked at the person through the black mist. This person was dressed similar to him. He was also covered with a large black cloak. He was very tall, and under the cloak, he faintly showed his strong body. However, Goris clearly felt that this person did not have magical elemental fluctuations, so he was not a magician. His cloak seemed to be just to hide his identity.

"Boss." All the pirates bowed respectfully to the person who came later.

The black-clothed man raised his hand, and the pirates suddenly quieted down. He said to Goris, "Master Goris, you and I mind our own business. Why do you have to provoke me? How about this, after we loot this place, we will sink the ship. You get on our ship and go wherever you want to go. We promise to send you there. How about it? "

Goris thought to himself, Do you think I'm a fool? Once I get on your ship, I'll be at your mercy. I'm not that stupid. "No need to trouble yourself. My words are still the same. Leave this ship immediately."

The black-clothed man stepped forward and said, "Since Master is so persistent, you have to give us an explanation." With that, his body floated towards Goris like lightning. His cloak fluttered, and a few black lights slashed towards Goris. His speed was so fast that it made people gasp in amazement. The dark protection that Goris had just released did not seem to slow down the opponent's speed. The black light grabbed Goris's body like lightning.

Although Goris's magic was very strong, he was after all an alchemist. He did not expect that the opponent would dare to attack when he showed the dark flame. He was suddenly shocked. In danger, he did not care about hiding his strength. He quickly took out something from his arms and threw it out.

The black light accurately hit Goris's body, but the black-clothed man was surprised because he clearly felt that he did not catch the real body. He shouted in surprise, "What a good Mirror Shadow Spell."

What Goris used was not the Mirror Shadow Spell. Because the black-clothed man was too fast, he did not have time to chant the spell. What he just threw out was his own Mirror Shadow Scroll. The scroll could fully exert the magic contained in it in the shortest time. This Mirror Shadow Scroll was one of Goris's life-saving magic weapons. Goris's body had already floated three feet away.

The situation just now made Goris break out in a cold sweat. If he had moved a little slower, he would have been cut open by the opponent. The opponent's attack also ignited the anger in his heart. With a stroke in the air, Goris drew a small crack in the sky, and a black cane that was only one foot long floated out. The palm of the cane was neither gold nor wood, and it could not be seen what material it was made of. At the top of the cane, there was a red gem that was only one centimeter in diameter. Goris grabbed the cane and kept chanting the spell.

The black-clothed man was very clear that if he let Goris fully exert his magic, he would not be his opponent. When Goris just grabbed the cane, he had already launched a second attack. Countless black lights scattered from under the cloak, turning into a huge light net that covered Goris.

Goris was still chanting the spell, and he grabbed something from the crack in the space and threw it out. Countless illusions of Goris appeared in the sky, and the black-clothed man's attack suddenly lost its target. Most of the illusions disappeared in the attack, but he did not hit Goris's body.

"Go, Black Flame Soul Refinement." A black flame was emitted from Goris's cane and rushed towards the pirates.

The black-clothed man was shocked. He did not expect Goris to be so powerful. He could actually emit so many black flames that were a fusion of darkness and fire. Although he was not afraid, his subordinates would be finished if they came into contact with it. Thinking of this, he no longer cared about hiding his strength, and roared, "Hell's Brilliance." The black light was suddenly emitted at an even denser degree, from the bottom to the top, and suddenly met the attack. The surging fighting energy rose sharply, and the black light flashed with a faint evil aura.

Goris's Black Flame Soul Refinement suddenly collided with the black-clothed man's Hell's Brilliance. After a series of "pu pu" sounds, a large hole was formed in the deck in front of the two.

Goris's body swayed slightly. He had already confirmed the identity of the black-clothed man when the other party used the last move. At the same time, he also understood why his Dark Guardian had no effect on the other party. The reason why the Black Flame Soul Refinement could still use fighting energy was because of the other party's identity. However, he did not shout out, because he clearly knew that identity was the black-clothed man's biggest taboo. If he said it, the other party would definitely not rest until he was dead, and there would be no life on the ship left alive. If he was in his best condition, Goris naturally would not be afraid of the other party. However, he had been troubled by seasickness for the past few days, and his physical strength was much weaker. If he really fought with his life on the line, although he had a higher chance of winning, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Just as Goris was hesitating whether to negotiate with the other party or continue to fight, a small fireball suddenly appeared in the sky. The fireball turned into a beautiful arc, crashing towards the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man was taken aback. He had not fully recovered from the collision just now. He could only draw a black light to meet the fireball.

With a "pu" sound, the fireball shattered, and a few sparks fell on the black-clothed man's cloak, instantly burning a few small holes. Under the sunlight, a faint green light flashed through the cloak.

The black-clothed man's heart trembled. Although the fireball was not powerful, the fire element contained within it was moderate and gentle. That kind of feeling was similar to that of a monk's. He did not dare to go against the Holy Hall. Besides, he could not even deal with Goris alone. If there was another monk, perhaps … It was more important to escape. He shouted, "Let's go!" and took the lead to jump back into the pirate ship. However, how could he know that it was not only monks who could release such moderate and gentle magic. There was another situation, and that was that it was a newcomer who had just learned magic.

Goris did not pay attention to the fleeing pirates. His eyes shot to the third floor of the passenger ship. That position was the room where he lived, and that precisely controlled fireball …

"Master, thank you. Thank you for saving everyone on the ship." The captain ran to Goris's side and thanked him sincerely.

Goris glanced at him and said, "Don't let others bother me." With that, he turned around and walked to the top floor of the passenger ship. The five-centimeter-diameter fireball just now was all too familiar to him.

The awe-inspiring pirates retreated dejectedly. After a wave of ripples on the sparkling sea, it returned to its original calmness.

Goris quickly walked back to the third deck. As he expected, Dumb's thin body fell to the ground. He went forward and picked up Dumb's body. He activated the magic in his body and checked his body. In fact, he did not need to check to know that Dumb was injured by the power of magic. The black-clothed man just now was powerful. How could Dumb, who had only learned magic for three days, resist him? Although the fireball was released, Dumb used his own mental strength to control it. Therefore, when the fireball was broken, his mental strength was also severely shaken. Dumb, who did not know how to protect himself, naturally fainted from the power of the backfire. Fortunately, the black-clothed man was not in his best state at that time. Otherwise, Dumb might have the possibility of losing his mind.

Goris put Dumb's body back on the bed. What Dumb needed most now was rest. He looked at Dumb's face in front of him and could not help but have a strange feeling in his heart.

That night, the passenger ship finally arrived at its destination after experiencing the pirate crisis. It was the port city of Fez City in the Hill Province. The Varyan Province where Goris lived bordered the Hill Province. It would only take about three days to travel from Fez City to the Varyan Province.

When they disembarked, the captain personally sent Goris and Dumb off the ship and returned their travel expenses to Goris. Goris was too lazy to pester him, so he accepted it. He brought Dumb into Fez City. They were already far away from the extreme north. Although it was night time, it was much warmer than Ninuo City.

Dumb stretched. He had not fully recovered from the mental trauma during the day. He still felt very tired. No matter how he chanted the spell, the fireball did not appear again. "Teacher, where are we going now?"

Goris replied subconsciously, "Let's find a place to rest for the night and take a carriage back to my place tomorrow. Hmm? Didn't I tell you not to ask too much? "

Dumb was stunned and murmured without saying anything. After he woke up, he felt that his brain seemed to be clearer. He still remembered everything that had happened before. Goris was guarding him. Seeing that he had woken up, his brows relaxed a lot. He found that the teacher seemed to have a more humane side. It seemed that he was much more friendly, and he was not so afraid anymore.

The night was very beautiful tonight. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Walking on the road, it was not very dark. Goris suddenly asked, "Dumb, why did you hit the black-clothed man with a fireball during the day?"

Dumb answered honestly, "I think it was a bad guy. The bad guy fought with the teacher. Of course, I have to help you. Didn't you say that the fireball also has a certain attacking power? "

Goris said coldly, "You're overestimating yourself. Do you think that little fireball of yours can help me? If the black-clothed man was in his best state, your mental strength would have been shattered by him, and you would have become a cripple and an idiot. You idiot, in the future, you have to do what you can. The opponent's skill is obviously several levels higher than yours. If you use magic, you'll just die faster. "

Dumb nodded foolishly and said, "Oh, so magic also has restrictions!"

Thinking of the black-clothed man during the day, Goris couldn't help but say, "That guy today is a Dark Devil Man, and he is an expert of the Dark Devil Race. They have a natural ability to resist dark magic. Even my black flame was not able to exert its true power because of the restriction of the attribute. These Dark Devil Men are fierce. If it weren't for his identity, I would have killed him long ago. Remember, if you meet a strange man with green skin and spikes on his hands in the future, run as far as you can. Do you understand? Hey, why am I telling you this? " Goris felt that his head was a little painful. After spending a few days with this silly boy in front of him, he seemed to have changed a little.

Dumb said happily, "Thank you, teacher. I understand. In the future, if I meet someone with green skin and spikes on his hands, I'll run."

Goris made a noncommittal sound, pointed to an inn in front and said, "Let's stay there."

Just as the two were about to enter the inn, Dumb suddenly exclaimed and said, "Master, look, that person is so strange! Why is he wearing that kind of clothes? "

Goris looked in the direction of Dumb's finger and saw a tall man also walking towards the inn. The man was wearing a white robe with a golden hexagon symbol in the center of his chest. His long golden hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his whole body was faintly exuding a holy aura. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, because this man was the monk of the Holy Holy Hall, and the monk was also his own enemy. Goris's magic was mainly based on the dark magic, supplemented by the fire magic. The monk's light magic was blessed by the senior priest of the Holy Hall, so it contained a very strong holy aura, so they were the people that Goris least wanted to see.

The monk had already walked in front of them at this time. He looked down at Dumb, then looked at Goris, smiled kindly, nodded slightly, and walked into the inn.

Dumb asked, "Teacher, he is smiling at us, his smile is so gentle. Why is he smiling? "

Although he was just passing by, the holy aura that the monk emitted still made Goris very uncomfortable. He snorted and said, "That guy is a monk of the Holy Holy Hall, he should be a low-level or mid-level priest. Let's go, aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry, I'm so hungry! Teacher, what are we eating today? "

"Eat what? Let me think … "Goris didn't eat well or sleep well for a few days on the boat, so he really needed to replenish his energy. However, he didn't notice that Dumb's attitude towards him seemed to be a lot more presumptuous, and he didn't care.

After eating, Goris and Dumb went back to their room and had a good sleep.

The next morning, Goris felt that his body condition had recovered a lot, and Dumb's spirit was also a lot better, as if the mental injury from yesterday had already healed. Children's recovery ability is really strong!

Goris opened the door, called the waiter, threw him a silver coin, and asked him to hire a carriage.

"Teacher, are we really going to take the carriage?"

Goris frowned and said, "Why do you have so many questions? Be quiet. Go memorize your spell. "

"Okay." Dumby agreed and sat to the side, recalling the incantation for the Flame Spell that Goris had just taught him. The Flame Spell was different from the Fireball Spell. Although the Fireball Spell's attack power was stronger, the area of attack was very small. On the other hand, although the Flame Spell's attack power was weaker and the incantation was longer, the area of attack was much larger.

"The fire element that fills the heaven and earth! Please grant me the power to burn, in my name, with your power, appear, scorching flames. " With the chanting of the spell, a small flame appeared on Dumb's hand. The flame swayed gently, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased.

"Teacher, teacher, I did it!" Dumb shouted excitedly.

Goris said impatiently, "What's there to be excited about? It's just the lowest level fire spell. Don't forget the spell. Memorize it a few times, and when you memorize, don't memorize the last word of the spell. For this kind of low-level magic, as long as the spell is not completed, you can stop at any time. With your weak magic power, you'll faint again if you use it a few times. "

"Oh, got it." Dumb was still diligently reciting the magic spell. After a while, the waiter came back and told them that the carriage was ready.

Until he sat in the carriage, Dumb still couldn't believe that he could actually enjoy the treatment of a carriage. The thick soft seat made his whole body comfortable, and he looked around excitedly. Sitting in the carriage, he unconsciously thought of the little girl, and wondered how the little girl was doing now. That old woman should be good to her.

After a three-day journey, Goris and Dumb finally entered the Varyan province. Along the way, Dumb saw many things that he had never seen before. Although Goris was very impatient with his many questions, he still answered them one by one.
