The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 169 Exploration
On calm water.

An ordinary-looking anaconda was swimming around.

This is exactly what David transformed himself into by relying on his beastly talent.

David has now activated his extraordinary perception and is sensing everything around him.

He had been wandering in the sea for more than ten days, but apart from some magical sea beasts occasionally coming out of the water to breathe, he had not discovered anything valuable.

David was grumbling in his heart that if he still didn't gain anything, he would just find an island to meditate and practice.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation.

dangerous!
He hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time!

He instantly became fully alert, and his mental energy continued to radiate.

He didn't know when he had entered a fog.

Suddenly, a large ship sailing on the sea level appeared in his mind, and a battle was going on on the ship!

Mi Wei is a wizard apprentice from the wizard organization Eto Bay.

She had just finished recruiting wizard seedlings on the surrounding islands and was now planning to return with them.

But during the voyage, they were unexpectedly attacked by the Grey Mist Ship, a notorious dark wizard organization, and a great battle broke out.

The ships in Eto Bay where Mi Wei was located were well-equipped, equipped with various defensive and offensive magic arrays, and a group of well-trained knight guards.

However, the dark wizards of the Grey Mist Ship are the most notorious pirates in this area. They must have something to rely on if they dare to attack the ships in Eto Bay.
They are good at using dark magic and forbidden spells, posing a great threat to the wizard ship.

As soon as the battle began, the dark wizards of the Grey Mist Ship released a thick grey fog that obscured the view of the ships in Eto Bay.

In the fog, their figures became elusive, and the magic circle of the wizard ship was greatly reduced in effectiveness due to the reduced visibility.

Mi Wei is a water wizard who relies on her magic power to control the sea water for defense.

The battle was extremely fierce. Wizards on both sides continuously cast spells. Various basic tricks such as fireballs, ice arrows, lightning and other tricks shuttled through the fog. The sounds of explosions and spells came one after another!

"It's actually a battle between wizards!"

David felt it and a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

It seems that just as he guessed, this world is indeed full of wizards!

Moreover, he could feel that all the wizards in the field were actually wizards above level four, and several of them were even stronger with strength above level seven!

In addition, he also felt that the two leading wizards might even have reached the ninth level in strength!

"Are all the wizards I randomly meet actually at this level?"

David's face looked a little serious.

However, he was already prepared after feeling the concentration of magic in this world.

Anyone can practice in this world as long as they are not particularly untalented.

Breaking through to the seventh level and using magic power to continuously condense mental strength is not a difficult thing, and even breaking through to the ninth level is not impossible!
"It seems that those wizards who are obviously in the dark camp have the upper hand." David used his extraordinary perception to perceive the battle on the sea level.

In the case of the field.

It was obvious that the pirate ship had attacked the wizard ship in front of them.

In addition, he could feel that the beautiful wizard who was leading the group was still protecting the other wizards under such circumstances.

This made him feel excited, and he felt that this was an opportunity to come into contact with the wizards of this world.

Then, he used his extraordinary perception to penetrate the gray fog and locked the positions of those dark wizards.

Then, he used his anaconda form to quickly swim towards the wizard ship.

David's arrival was like a breath of fresh air. His anaconda form was extremely agile on the sea and he easily penetrated the dark wizards' defenses.

"Hehehe, Miss Mi Wei, you'd better surrender."

A black-robed wizard with a strange black tattoo on his face laughed strangely and held a two-meter-long skull staff in his hand.

At this moment, he was looking at Mi Wei on the wizard's ship with a greedy look on his face.

This is the most beautiful witch in the surrounding seas.

If possible, he really wanted to take the witch in front of him back to be his wife.

Mi Wei stood at the bow, a hint of anger and disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Gray Mist Qiao Sen, do you think I will yield to you?"

Her voice was as cold as ice, and a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.

This bottle of potion is a very precious defensive potion that can greatly enhance her magic defense ability in a short period of time.

Seeing this, Gray Mist Qiao Sen's smile became even more distorted: "Ms. Mi Wei, your resistance is in vain. My strength is far superior to yours. You can never be my opponent."

Mi Wei did not respond, she just drank the potion in one gulp.

Instantly, a layer of faint blue light appeared around her body, which was a sign that the potion was taking effect.

But the next moment the wizard waved his staff, muttered something, and a black magic energy wave attacked Mi Wei's boat.

boom!
When this energy wave hit the blue light shield around Mi Wei, there was a roar.

The next moment, the energy wave was bounced back and did not break the blue light shield.

But just when Mi Wei breathed a sigh of relief, a corrosion sound suddenly rang out, and the blue light shield began to be corroded continuously under the erosion of the black energy.

The wizards on the wizard ship looked at this scene and their faces changed.

"Hahaha."

"If it's just one ring of potion, it won't be able to resist the corrosive gray fog."

Qiao Sen laughed loudly, and a powerful wave of magic emanated from his body.

At this time on the wizard ship, the dark wizards had already rushed up, rushing towards the wizard seedlings in the cabin. These were all rare goods.

As long as you bring these wizard seedlings back, whether you cultivate them yourself or send them to the Black Wizard Market, you can reap huge benefits.

However, these dark wizards did not realize that a figure was lurking, like a cheetah in the dark night, hunting these dark wizards.

This person was none other than David who had sneaked in. He had transformed back to his original form, with the wind element wrapped around his body, while displaying extraordinary speed.

This allowed his speed to reach its limit. At the same time, the wind element energy in his hand turned into wind blades, which could cut through the black wizard's defense with one strike!

Except for the leader Gray Mist Joesen, who is a ninth-level wizard, the strongest of these dark wizards on the field are only seventh-level, and they are all spellcasters.

As long as David, the seventh-level knight, can get close to the target and strike with all his strength, no wizard will be able to withstand his extremely fast wind blade attack!

"This seventh-level wizard... is so weak." David murmured suddenly.

He could feel that apart from mastering a few tricks, the means of attack of these seventh-level wizards were very simple and could not be compared with the Bloodline Knights at all.

David even had a feeling that even if he encountered an eighth-level wizard, he could kill him with the many bloodline abilities and talents he possessed!

After he rescued so many wizarding talents and caused chaos among the dark wizards, he hid himself again, while paying attention to the battle on the main battlefield.

In the battle at this moment, Mi Wei gradually fell into a disadvantage. She knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her and she had to use some trump cards.

She took a deep breath and quickly pulled out an exquisite magic scroll from her waist. This was a backup plan she prepared for herself in an emergency.

As the scroll unfolded, an intense white light burst out from Mi Wei, forming a solid magic barrier.

This barrier not only blocked the erosion of the corrosive gray fog, but also began to slowly expand outward, gradually forcing back Qiao Sen's corrosive magic.

Qiao Sen's face turned serious when he saw this. He didn't expect Mi Wei to have such a trick, but he also had his own trump card.

However, just as he was concentrating and preparing to launch a new round of attack.

The magic barrier suddenly released a powerful shock wave, which mixed with magic energy and turned into an energy cannon, rushing straight towards Qiao Sen.

Qiao Sen hurriedly cast his defensive magic, but the power of the shock wave exceeded his expectations, and his defense seemed vulnerable to the shock wave.

Two powerful magical forces collided on the sea, causing huge waves and explosions. The sea water was stirred up by the magical force, forming a huge whirlpool.

A force came from the whirlpool, which was about to sweep Qiao Sen in and pull him directly into the sea!
Qiao Sen's face was solemn, and he began to resist the whirlpool with all his strength.

As he quickly formed complex seals with his hands and chanted an ancient and obscure spell, the gray fog around him began to churn violently, forming a protective shield that wrapped him tightly inside.

This gray fog protective shield is the result of his years of research in black magic, and can provide him with powerful defense at critical moments.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Mi Wei was not idle either. She felt Qiao Sen's resistance and knew that she could not give him any chance to breathe. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to activate her magic, trying to completely draw Qiao Sen into the vortex.

On the sea, two magical forces intertwined, forming a magnificent scene.

Qiao Sen's gray fog protective shield and Mi Wei's magic vortex contended with each other, making harsh friction and explosion sounds.

The sea water was stirred to boiling by the two forces, and steam and mist filled the air, making the vision blurred.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The two wizards were consuming a large amount of magic power all the time, causing their breathing to become rapid.

Cracks began to appear in Qiao Sen's gray fog protection shield, and Mi Wei's magic vortex gradually weakened, but neither of them dared to relax at all.

But at this moment, the waves in the whirlpool suddenly swept in, and then a torrent suddenly rose from the whirlpool and rushed directly towards Qiao Sen!

This attack was really too sudden.

Just as Qiao Sen reacted, the torrent had already arrived in front of him.

Moreover, this torrent actually just happened to hit the weak point of the gray fog protective shield, and it actually penetrated the gray fog protective shield directly!
"How is this possible?" Qiao Sen's eyes showed horror.

How could Mi Wei let this activation go? The vortex swept and turned into a waterspout that suddenly shattered the gray fog protection cover. The waterspout was like an angry sea snake, tightly wrapping around Qiao Sen's body. The pressure of the sea water and the power of magic intertwined, making it almost impossible for Qiao Sen to breathe.

"This is impossible!"

Qiao Sen's shrill roar sounded.

His eyes were full of disbelief. He had never expected that he would lose, and lose so miserably.

There was no expression on Mi Wei's face.

But the other wizard apprentices, whether they were on Qiao Sen's side or Mi Wei's side, were all in deep shock.

They couldn't believe that Gray Mist Qiao Sen, the captain of the Gray Mist Ship who was only one step away from becoming a first-ring wizard, would be defeated in this way.

The dark wizards on the Gray Mist Ship even began to doubt their own eyes. They were unwilling to accept this fact.

However, the reality is cruel.

As Mi Wei's waterspout gradually dissipated, Qiao Sen's body floated weakly on the sea. His eyes had lost their luster and the breath of life had disappeared.

"We won." Mi Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she suddenly looked around with a searching look in her eyes.

The torrent of water that broke through the gray fog protection shield at the critical moment was not triggered by her, but came from other water wizards!
Moreover, she could feel that she had lost control of the water flow at that moment, which meant that the strength of this water wizard was far stronger than her!

"Could it be a One-Ring Wizard passing by?" she guessed.

However, now was obviously not the time to do this, so she joined the battlefield and began to clear out the dark wizards on the Gray Mist Ship.

When these dark wizards saw that their leader was dead, they no longer had any will to fight and just jumped into the water and started running for their lives.

Soon, the battle was over.

Mi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more grateful to the mysterious wizard who had taken action.

Soon, wizards from the wizard ship gathered together.

Apart from the deaths of two low-level wizard apprentices, there were no other casualties.

However, those young wizards were the targets of the dark wizards and did not suffer any harm, but they all looked frightened.

Afterwards, Mi Wei led his men onto the empty pirate ship, and found a dozen wizard potentials in the cabin.

Obviously, these were all collected by the dark wizards from various channels, and now they are all bought by Eto Gulf.

"Take these wizard seedlings and let's get out of here."

Mi Wei spoke, then she destroyed the Gray Mist Ship and took her people away.

The rest of the voyage went very smoothly.

Looking at the calm bay and the towering wizard tower in the distance, everyone on the wizard ship cheered, and those wizard potentials also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the wizarding organization?"

David had already used the Soul of Contract to control a wizard among the wizard seedlings on the Gray Mist Ship, and had integrated a stream of his own gaseous mental power into it, completely imprisoning the wizard's soul and thus controlling his body.

The power of the Contract Soul was so strong that no one noticed that this wizard budding had been completely controlled.

Moreover, relying on the extraordinary soul in his body, David can completely hide his mental power, leaving only a weak mental fluctuation.

After all, he was new here, so he planned to infiltrate this wizard organization first, try to find out more information about this world, and prepare for the next action.

In addition, he was also quite interested in the ninth-level wizard named Mi Wei. This kind of caring, kind and loving elder sister would definitely be easy to get along with.

After Mi Wei returned to Eto Bay, she went to meet the tower master, and these young wizards were taken away, and there would be a series of tests to come.

In particular, the wizard seedlings obtained from the Gray Mist Ship halfway must undergo strict examination before deciding whether to absorb them into the wizard organization.

The wizard seedlings followed a seventh-level wizard to a place that looked somewhat like an academy, and then the team was divided into two teams.

David was also taken in for examination, and the others were taken for talent testing.

David was already prepared for the review. The soul of the owner of this body was already under his control. With the help of his telepathic ability, he could directly learn the memory of the owner of this body and complete the response flexibly.

In addition, he also devoured the soul of the dark wizard, which not only made his mental power stronger, but also allowed him to obtain some memories in the dark wizard's mind and gain some preliminary understanding of the world.

After some examination, the examiner took out the book of contract and handed it to these wizard seedlings.

David was also stunned when he saw the Book of Contract. This made him realize that the wizard heritage of the two worlds was indeed the same, which could be confirmed in many aspects.

However, the wizards in this world all rely on meditation to practice, which is different from the witch practice system in another world.

He took the book of contract and looked through it, and found that the contents were basically clauses to restrict wizard seedlings. The most important one was naturally that he could not betray Eto Bay, otherwise his soul would be devoured by the Lord of Judgment.

There were indeed no other constraints, so David thought about it and signed the contract. He could feel that his heart of contract could devour the power of the contract!

And this is indeed the case. After the Book of Contract was completed, it turned into a spiritual imprint and entered the spiritual world of the owner of this body. David could feel that his Heart of Contract could block and devour it.

"Welcome to Eto Gulf."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Charles."

Charles smiled and introduced himself.

"Teacher Charles." The young wizards greeted him one after another.

"Now, follow me to Elemental Affinity."

Charles took the wizard seedlings to the testing room.

The previous wizard seedlings are still being tested, some are happy and some are worried.

David vaguely heard the words "low affinity for water elements" and "medium affinity for wind elements", which represented the attributes and strengths of the elemental affinities of these wizard seedlings.

"Advanced water element affinity!"

"A good seedling has emerged!"

When the friendly announcement of the high-level water element sounded in the testing room, the originally noisy environment instantly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the student who was declared a good candidate, with expressions of shock and envy on their faces.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Teacher Charles' eyes. He knew very well that high elemental affinity meant that this student would have a unique advantage in his future as a wizard.

He had already begun planning how to provide special training for this student so that he could realize his greatest potential.

The atmosphere among the students also began to become subtle.

Those students whose test results were not ideal before showed a hint of jealousy and loss in their eyes.

They knew the gap between their affinity with higher-level water elements, and even those students whose test results were average felt a sense of pressure.

They knew that if they didn't work harder, they would soon be left far behind by this "good seedling".

They began to secretly resolve to study harder so that they could gain a foothold in this highly competitive environment.

As for the student who was declared a promising student, he felt both excited and nervous. He began to think about how he should deal with this sudden identity. Relying on his high affinity with water element, he would definitely be the focus of training!
Soon, it was the turn of David and other young wizards to be tested.

And those wizard seedlings from before did not leave, but gathered together in groups of three or four, apparently forming a small wizard circle.

Compared with the previous wizard seedlings, these wizard seedlings who were favored by the dark wizards and considered to be valuable commodities seemed to have even better talents.

There are many wizards with medium affinity for water, and among them there is even a good one with high affinity for wind elements!

"My name is Leon, and you will follow me from now on!"

After Leon finished the test, he spoke to David and others in high spirits.

He is a high-level elemental affinity person, so naturally he has to form his own small team, so that he can better collect various cultivation resources.

David stood quietly by without expressing his opinion.

This instantly attracted Leon's unfriendly gaze. Obviously, he didn't expect that someone would not respond to his call. He wanted to see what the other person's talent was.

"Next, Fili." The examiner said.

The body David occupies is called Philly.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate and walked quickly towards the examination table.

"let's start."

The examiner's voice was calm but powerful.

David closed his eyes and began to concentrate.

At the same time, he placed his hand on the test crystal, attracting the surrounding elements.

After all, Eto Bay is a force dominated by water element wizards, and wizard seedlings with affinity to water elements will definitely be able to receive the best training.

Only by showing enough potential can he gain more resources and attention, allowing him to enter the upper echelons of Eto Bay as soon as possible.

The wizard's talent mainly comes from the soul. David integrated a stream of his liquid mental power into this body, and this body naturally also possessed the talent he mastered.

Under his guidance, the water element energy slowly flowed through the crystal, emitting a soft blue light.

The examiner's eyes were fixed on the test crystal, and as the color on the crystal changed, his eyes changed with it.

When he felt the water element energy contained in the crystal ball, a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Other wizard buddings were also watching, and when they saw the crystal ball emitting a light that was even stronger than the affinity of higher-level water elements, they were also stunned.

"Son of the Water Element!"

"This kind of energy fluctuation is definitely beyond the advanced level!"

A teacher spoke with a trembling voice, which immediately caused an uproar!
