The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 85 Thundercloud Storm, The Sea Knight's Ship

He had witnessed the starkly different attitudes of the wizard Randolph towards the genius wizard Anne. Wizards also have their grudges and desires, and since he was not powerful enough, it was best for him to keep a low profile. Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

"We've used up our tokens. The rest of you, come with me," Randolph said calmly, his voice echoing in the air. He took in everyone's expressions and added, "Don't be discouraged. These remotely transmitted tokens are precious. Not everyone is valuable enough for the organization to pay for. This is the first lesson; you must learn to get used to it." His tone was unquestionable.

Randolph turned to the lamplighter, Munger, and tossed a bag: "Well done, some good prospects this time."

"Thank you, sir. Have a safe journey," Mung said cheerfully, his face beaming as he accepted the bag with both hands.

"Let's go."

Randolph flicked his wand, drawing a transparent passage in the air. A strong sea breeze carrying the smell of salt rushed in, making everyone's hair disheveled.

Lin Wei looked through the passage and saw a large ship, several tens of meters long, standing quietly behind it. The ship was swaying slightly in the waves, and behind it was the boundless ocean and sky. He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and clenched his fist.

"The Wizarding World, here I come," he said softly, his voice filled with determination.

……

A day later, Lin Wei stood on the deck, deep in thought, as the waves gently lapped against the hull, making a rhythmic sound. The crowd gathered in a circle to listen to the wizard Randolph's explanation.

"This is the wizarding world, where the elemental concentration is extremely abundant, far surpassing that of the human continent. I only stayed on the human continent for a few days, and I already felt uncomfortable breathing," Randolph said, gesturing with his hand in the air.

After saying that, he took out his wand and drew thin lines in the air, as if he were analyzing something. The tip of the wand shimmered with a faint light.

"This wizarding world seems not much different from the human world." Lin Wei looked at the shimmering sea, lost in thought, and stroked his chin.

"Lord Randolph, why did you say earlier that this was the worst of times?" the Dune Knight asked curiously, leaning forward slightly. "The sea seems quite calm to me."

Everyone looked over, and Lin Wei also turned his head to look, his face filled with doubt.

"We are currently in the outer area, called the Endless Sea, which is considered the safest place in the wizarding world. It is also the base of the wizarding organization you are going to, including Annie and the others who have already been teleported away. They will all live in this sea area."

This is meant to be a training ground for wizards provided by the Wizarding Council, but it's teeming with countless sea creatures. My wizarding organization is also located in this area.” Wizard Randolph paused. “Thousands of years ago, the wizarding world didn't even have sea creatures. It was a sanctuary for humans, and wizards wouldn't allow other races to encroach on this territory. In recent years, the wizarding world's space has weakened considerably, and races from other multiverses frequently invade. Consequently, many wizards have become dark wizards, plotting to overthrow the Wizarding Council.”

Wizarding Council?

Black wizard?

Sea creatures?

Lin Wei was a little confused, his brows furrowed tightly. What were these sea creatures?

As soon as he finished speaking, the ship shuddered violently and began to rock violently.

The once clear sky suddenly seemed to have been violently ripped off by a huge black curtain, turning dark and oppressive, making it hard to breathe. Directly above the large ship, a dark cloud several meters wide rapidly gathered, its edges writhing and surging like snakes, completely enveloping the hull.

Suddenly, everyone on deck felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of impending doom washing over them, and their breathing became rapid and uneven. Many began to look around frantically, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over."

Some clung tightly to the clothes of the person next to them, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Wei's breathing wasn't affected much, but his brows furrowed tightly, his face gradually darkened, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Damn it, we've been spotted by the sea creatures as soon as we came in. Children, hold on tight." Wizard Randolph's face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead. He strode to the side of the ship, gripped his wand tightly with both hands, and slammed it into the hull.

In an instant, mysterious runes appeared on the ship's hull, shimmering with an eerie light, as if they were alive.

With a loud "boom," several jet nozzles, each over two meters wide, appeared at the stern, spewing out intense flames that filled the air with their scorching heat.

"Whoosh!"

The large ship suddenly accelerated, doubling its speed in an instant, speeding across the sea like an arrow released from a bow, trying to shake off the strange dark cloud.

The spray from the ship splashed onto the deck, wetting the clothes of some people, who gasped in surprise.

The sudden acceleration threw everyone on deck into disarray. Some even fell to the ground, clutching their heads in a sorry state.

Only a few of the Great Knights could barely maintain their balance, though their faces were flushed red, their legs were bracing themselves against the ground, and their foreheads were covered in sweat, which slid down their cheeks.

Lin Wei simply grabbed a railing quickly, his body swaying slightly with the boat, his expression remaining relatively calm. This was a stark contrast to the crowd around him who were being tossed about by the swaying boat.

"Huh? A knight? Impressive physical strength. What's your name?" Wizard Randolph's mental power covered the entire ship, and he instantly noticed Lin Wei's unusual behavior. This big guy was breathing evenly and looked normal, a knight with profound experience.

"My lord, my name is Lin Wei." Lin Wei bowed slightly, clasped his hands in a fist and bow, and said politely.

"Not bad, a Grand Knight of the Pinnacle?" Wizard Randolph raised an eyebrow, his gaze scrutinizing him as he continued to ask.

"I'm not yet. My cultivation level is just that of an ordinary Grand Knight," Lin Wei answered honestly, his expression calm.

"Shhh!" Strange sounds kept coming from all around the ship, as if many things were crawling up. Lin Wei could vaguely see some strange fish and shrimp crawling up from the edge of the deck. They were baring their teeth and claws, their scales shimmering with eerie light, and some of them were even flicking their long tongues, approaching the group.

"We've escaped this mini thundercloud storm, but the sea creatures aren't willing to abandon you young beings." Randolph's face was grim. He called out to Lin Wei, "Lin Wei, help me protect the others. Afterwards, I'll give you a chance to choose a wizarding organization. According to the original assignment, you were supposed to be assigned to the water-based wizarding organization, the Sea Knight Ship. There are suspected dark wizards there, and the ship owner is under investigation for a theft of a magical artifact. It's not a good place for you."
