Wizard: I'm leveling up by AFK in another world

After finishing writing, the old blind man rubbed the ring on his hand, and a golden light immediately emanated from it.

Claire's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't noticed the ring at all.

The light screen gradually evolved into a bottle with a skull logo.

"The Siren's Tear, just a single drop can paralyze an orca. Lower sea creatures poisoned by this will have their gills instantly paralyzed, suffocating to death."

"Twenty magic stones per bottle, but you have to give me a day to get the goods."

"What about the other things?"

"I have it right now." The old blind man waved his hand, and a black package appeared on the table.

"I'll sell you forty magic stones together."

"Too expensive. Everything together costs fifty magic stones. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

The old blind man took a drag of his cigarette.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Claire checked the package, confirmed that everything was there, and took out two magic stones to hand to the old blind man.

"So, the same time and place tomorrow?"

"It needs to be changed. I'll inform that redhead and have him tell you."

……

……

"I'm informing you now that you must come to the party with me later!" Rod said righteously.

"I'm sorry, Rhodes, I..."

"Please!" The red-haired youth's face instantly fell, "Those two sisters are so demanding, I can't handle them anymore!"

Claire looked at the guy, who was dressed in a sharp suit and looked quite respectable, and sighed helplessly.

Tomorrow is the mid-month rest day.

As is customary, the base hosts a party the night before for the staff to enjoy themselves.

The celebration was just two days ago, and most people are still in a state of excitement.

Except for Rhodes.

"Alright, alright, I'll stay with you." We'll find a chance to leave when the banquet gets crowded.

The red-haired youth burst into laughter through his tears, tightly hugging Claire's arm as he walked away, sobbing as he recounted his tragic experiences of the past two days.

Even after they entered the banquet hall, Rod still wouldn't let go.

"Please let go, you're fucking shameful!"

"No! I'll wait until I see Anna and Bella!"

Feeling the gazes around her gradually drawing in, Claire was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

Just as he steeled himself to shake off Rhodes, darkness descended.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on...?"

"Which bastard touched my ass?!"

Just as the disturbed people were getting into a commotion, a piercing alarm suddenly went off.

"Holy crap, something really happened?"

"It's a level one alert! Get out of here!"

In the midst of the chaos, an invisible wave swept across the scene, freezing everyone in place.

The lights came back on. In the center of the hall stood a figure in a white robe.

He was just standing on the ground, but people felt like they were looking up at him.

"Enemy invasion!" A cold voice rang in everyone's ears. "Combat personnel, return to your posts immediately. The rest of you, return to your quarters and await further instructions."

The white-robed wizard tapped his wand lightly and vanished from the spot.

Without the suppression, the people no longer panicked and left the banquet hall in an orderly manner, following the instructions given by the white-robed wizard.

"Oh my god, what happened! Claire, do you think this is good news or bad news...?" Rhodes looked around, but couldn't find his friend.

……

……

Base command center.

The circular hall atop the tower on the water was now enveloped in countless shimmering red runes.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

A furious roar echoed through the hall.

Marius Charles angrily smashed the crystal wine glass in his hand on the ground and glared fiercely at the dozen or so people in front of him who had their heads bowed.

"Is this what you mean by 'nothing unusual'?"

He pointed at the enormous holographic model in front of him, his fingers trembling with anger: "What are these countless red dots? Are they a school of fish bringing us midnight snacks?"

"My lord, this...this is indeed beyond our expectations," a senior apprentice explained, forcing a smile. "Now it seems that the beast tide of the past two days may have been a feint, intended to test us. But the timing they chose was truly..."

"I don't want to hear excuses!" Marius took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

After a brief moment of panic, the wizard's ruthlessness and rationality quickly returned.

"Initiate Level 1 War Status." Mario tapped his wand. "Activate all magic turrets and load the defense matrix. Notify all combat personnel to take their posts immediately."

"As for those who are still drunk and acting crazy, give them five minutes to sober up. If they are not on duty after five minutes, throw them out to feed the fish."

"yes!"

The crowd felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly dispersed to carry out the orders.

Mario walked to the command console and placed his hands on the two control crystals.

hum!

A vast amount of spiritual power erupted from his body like a storm, instantly taking over the magic center of the entire base.

"Let me see which blind tribe dares to pluck the beard of the Charles family."

……

……

Meanwhile, in the sea area surrounding the base.

The once pitch-black sea was now illuminated as bright as day by various magical lights.

Countless merman warriors riding armored sharks and wielding bone spears or tridents surged toward the base like a black tide.

Behind the army of fishmen, a giant deep-sea turtle, as large as a mountain, was floating in the water.

On the back of the giant tortoise was an altar made of coral and bones.

An elderly sea creature dressed in a blue priestly robe and holding a coral staff stood atop the altar.

His skin was wrinkled like withered tree bark, and his eyes were cloudy, but the magical energy emanating from his body caused the surrounding seawater to freeze.

This is a high priest of the sea tribe, whose strength is comparable to that of a first-level wizard.

"Humans..."

The high priest's voice, amplified by the vibrations of the seawater, transformed into rolling thunder, piercing directly through the base's energy shield and exploding above the tower.

"Greedy invaders. You have stolen the blood of the ocean, enslaved our people, and polluted our homeland. Tonight is the time for reckoning!"

"For Agil! Kill!"

boom!

With a swing of the high priest's staff, the giant tortoise opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of water with an ultra-high pressure that was ten meters thick.

The water column contained countless tiny ice crystals, and wherever it passed, the seawater froze instantly.

The water jets struck the energy shield, dimming its brightness even further.

"Hmph, arrogant natives."

At the top of the base tower, Marius's figure appeared out of thin air.

He projected a huge magical phantom that hovered in mid-air, like a god looking down on ants.

"This is Charles family territory. Under the Blue Ocean Boundary Resource Development Convention, we have the legal right to exploit this area."

"Further words are useless!" the high priest roared. "Prepare to die!"

He raised his staff high, and the once calm deep ocean currents instantly became violent.

Dozens of enormous vortexes formed around the base, frantically tearing at its energy shield.

"A mere trick," Marius sneered. "A bunch of uncivilized beasts. Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me for turning you all into specimens."
