Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 32 Lost in the Sea Fog

Only Herag and Dino were on the huge deck, the sound of waves crashing against the ship rising and falling, which was particularly soothing to sleep.

Herag sat cross-legged, deep in meditation, unaware of how much time had passed, when suddenly Deep Blue alerted him that someone was approaching.

He opened his eyes and found Dino standing in front of him, looking at him.

Dino said, "Your mental strength is very stable, and the quality of your magic is also very good, which means you have been practicing meditation diligently."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Dino," Herag said, standing up.

Dino seemed quite interested today, turning around and leaning against the ship's railing as he said, "Your method of cultivating step by step is the best; don't rush things. Look at Fegal; although his mental strength is very high, it's extremely unstable. This kind of strength gained through extreme means will eventually backfire."

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Dino," Herag said humbly.

"Is your meditation method related to the stars?" Dino asked, pointing to the sky.

"That's right."

Dino nodded: "I can see that. This kind of meditation method is usually not simple. Keep up the good work, young man!"

Over the next few days, Herag came to the deck to meditate and often asked Dino questions, which Dino answered generously one by one.

After getting to know him, Herag learned that Dino had been at sea for over eighty years.

He's already on his sixth boat; the first five were destroyed by various accidents.

Every time I go to the continent of Karag, I bring some wizard apprentices with me. Over the years, accidents have often happened. Several times, all the wizard apprentices on the ship have been wiped out. The sea is full of unknowns, and no one knows when an accident will happen.

Half a month later, they were only a month's journey from the continent of Karag.

Herag sat at the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze.

"There's a problem." Dino sniffed the sea breeze and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Herag saw Dino's serious expression and had a bad feeling.

The night sky, which was originally full of stars, was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Not only that, the ships were shrouded in a gray fog, and visibility was extremely low.

"Stop the ship!" Dino commanded, and the ship slowly came to a stop.

Following his memory, Herag reached towards the bow of the ship and saw Dino standing there, holding something that looked like a compass.

"Mr. Dino, what's going on?"

Dino sighed, "We've encountered the Lost Sea Fog. I don't know when it will dissipate."

"Lost in the sea fog?"

Dino explained, "Sea fog is a relatively rare phenomenon at sea. Once a ship is enveloped in sea fog, it will lose its direction. The space inside sea fog is distorted, and if a ship sails haphazardly, it may end up in an unknown place, with extremely serious consequences."

"What should we do then?" Herag asked.

"Wait!" Dino said somewhat helplessly, "The Lost Sea Fog will dissipate on its own, but nobody knows when. Some Lost Sea Fog lasts only a few days, while others can last for decades..."

"Decades..." After learning about it, Helag understood the current predicament.

No ship could carry enough fresh water and food to last for decades.

After the ship stopped, the other people in the cabin also noticed the abnormality, and many of them ran to the deck.

Dino briefly explained the current situation to them, and the wizard apprentices were all somewhat uneasy. The sailors, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned; in their eyes, Dino was a god, and nothing could stump him.

Three days later, the gray fog still hadn't dissipated.

Dino did not act rashly and remained in a state of observation.

Five days later, the gray fog still shrouded the sea.

The people on the ship also began to change, with many becoming anxious and restless.

There have been more than one fight between wizard apprentices in the past two days, and one wizard apprentice was seriously injured by Felgar.

If Dino hadn't intervened and calmed everyone down, the fight might have escalated even further.

For safety reasons, Hrag and Lillian have been staying together these days to avoid being alone and encountering danger.

The gray fog not only obstructs vision but also reduces people's perception, and even the flow of magic becomes more obscure.

It was too crowded for Hrag and Lillian to sleep in the room, so they both resorted to meditation instead.

Herag discovered that even while surrounded by the gray fog, he could still perceive the stars in the sky and discern directions.

He told Dino about it, but Dino decided to wait a little longer to be on the safe side.

Navigating in the gray fog is too dangerous, even knowing the direction is still very dangerous.

Space is distorted within the gray fog; what appears to be east one second may turn into west the next. It would be best to wait for the gray fog to dissipate on its own.

half a month later.

The atmosphere on the ship became extremely subtle. The long-term shrouding of gray fog made many people feel very depressed, and their emotions became increasingly irritable.

The gray fog showed no signs of dissipating, and Dino arrived at the fourth level.

"Hellag, come with me. Let's try sailing today. I'm afraid something might go wrong if we stay any longer," Dino said gravely.

Herag nodded and said, "Okay, Lillian, you're coming with me."

He couldn't leave Lillian alone on the fourth floor; that would be too dangerous. With the gray fog obstructing the view, he wouldn't be able to detect any danger immediately.

Herag and Lillian have maintained a good relationship during this time. They can at least talk and chat, and occasionally joke around, so life isn't too difficult.

Everyone else was alone, spending their days cooped up in their rooms surrounded by unknown gray fog. The immense mental pressure was unbearable even for wizard apprentices.

Herag and his two companions arrived at the captain's cabin. After sensing the surroundings, Herag pointed to the back and said, "This is the northwest direction."

Dino nodded and started the boat, keeping the speed very slow to be prepared for any unexpected situations.

Herag focused intently on sensing the four stars, constantly checking whether his direction had shifted.

"The direction has changed; it's now northwest over there," Herag said, pointing to the left.

Dino didn't say anything, but immediately adjusted the ship's course by taking the helm.

After sailing through the gray fog for more than ten hours, the surroundings suddenly brightened.

When Herag opened his eyes, he found that they had arrived in normal sea area.

He looked behind him and saw that the area where the gray fog had been was gone.

"Well done!" Dino exclaimed, patting Herag on the shoulder.

Herag plopped down on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.

The direction was constantly changing in the gray fog, so he had to maintain a high level of concentration at all times. When he came out, he felt extremely tired.

Dino immediately took out a map and a compass-like positioning tool, then said, "We're still in the place where we first encountered the lost fog. Luckily, we haven't gone to any strange places."
