Chapter 481 The Past
Rhodes carefully looked at the few people in front of him. Although they were pale, they all looked very temperamental, very similar to those mages Rhodes had seen.
"Are you all mages who master magic?" Rhodes asked.
"Yes." A young man smiled and nodded, pointing to the collar on his neck and said: "Only mages will wear this thing, and only mages will have the opportunity to come here to let the wind go, those who don't have the ability to cast spells Ordinary people can only stay in the dark cabin and mold."
A murloc came over and pulled Rhodes aside: "There are too many people here. If you go to another place, you can only stay with three people at most."
The voices of the murlocs were very unpleasant, like a combination of the voices of a duck and a toad.
Rhodes nodded and walked towards the side. He wanted to learn more about the past history from here. Even if he wanted to do something to these murlocs, he had to wait until his curiosity was satisfied.
He walked around the room and sat next to a man who looked to be in his 40s and a woman who looked to be at least 60.
They didn't look like a couple, so Rhodes came over.
After the old woman saw Rhodes walking towards them, she looked at Rhodes and asked with a smile, "Do you remember how you got on this ship?"
Facing the sudden question, Rhode didn't know how to answer it.
He scratched his head, and replied with some embarrassment: "I have amnesia, and I don't remember anything before."
"It may be that someone pried the sap and knocked your brain out of the question, so you woke up so late, and you still don't remember what happened before." The middle-aged man next to him said.
"Maybe so, then why are you here?" Rhodes asked.
"My lord sold me to the Sea Clan in exchange for the glittering gold. This is a good thing for me, and it's better than being eaten by my lord directly in the future." The middle-aged man replied .
"Is your lord a giant dragon?" Rhodes asked in surprise.
"Have you ever seen an ordinary dragon capable of keeping a mage in captivity? Of course my great lord is a powerful ancient dragon." The middle-aged man replied as a matter of course.
Captive?
Rhodes recited the word silently in his heart.
"Why do these sea people allow us to stay here and chat instead of locking us in a cell like other humans?" Rhodes asked.
The middle-aged man glanced at Rhodes with a strange look: "We are mages and have received the inheritance of the dragon lords, so of course we are different from ordinary people.
A powerful human mage like me, even if placed in front of a dragon monarch, can be enjoyed as a hearty meal.
It was also for this reason that my wise lord was reluctant to eat me. Instead, he sold me to these sea tribes in exchange for gold to buy low-level food.
When we get to that continent, we are all the most noble among human beings, and it is said that we can even sit on an equal footing with commoners of the Sea Clan. "
After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Rhode found it difficult to imagine the living conditions of ordinary humans in this era.
"Don't you even remember these?" asked the old woman who had been silent all this time.
"Forgot." Rhodes shook his head.
At this moment, the bell sounded suddenly, and the door of the room was pushed open, and several murlocs walked in with wooden barrels in their hands.
"It's finally time for dinner." The middle-aged man licked his lips and said a little excitedly.
Rhodes looked at him carefully. This middle-aged man was as pale as the others, and he seldom had enough to eat.
The murlocs put the barrels in their hands on a table in the room, and the humans in the room rushed to that table without any reminder and formed a long queue.
In order not to show his specialness, Rhodes also followed up behind the middle-aged man. He was a little curious about what these sea people would eat for them.
The humans at the front of the line buried their faces in the bowl after getting the food, greedily eating the food in the wooden bowl, so that Rhodes couldn't see what they were eating.
After a while, it was finally his turn.
The murloc picked up a wooden bowl next to it, dug a spoonful into the bucket with a wooden spoon, put it in the bowl, and handed it to Rhodes.
After Rhodes took the wooden bowl, he looked down at the food in the bowl. It was just ordinary fish soup with only a few pieces of fish in it, and it still smelled very fishy.
He returned to the previous position with the bowl in his hand.
Both the middle-aged man and the old woman stared at the wooden bowl in Rhode's hand with almost greedy eyes, and their own share had been completely settled before returning to their seats.
Rhodes could clearly see them swallowing their saliva.
"I just woke up and I don't have any appetite." Rhodes handed out the wooden bowl.
The middle-aged man and the old woman looked at each other, and then said in unison: "We share it equally."
……
"Can we stay here all the time? Or can we only stay here for a fixed time every day?" Rhodes asked after the middle-aged man finished eating.
The middle-aged man smacked his mouth, and then replied: "As long as you want, you can stay here all the time. Anyway, the sea people sleep with their eyes open. If you are sleepy, you can go and tell your watcher, it I will take you back to your room to rest."
"How long will it take for us to reach that continent?" Rhodes asked again.
"I heard from my watcher that there are still two or three days left." The middle-aged man replied.
"Why are they spying on us? And put this thing on us?" Rhodes pointed to the collar around his neck.
"It may be because we are worried that we will join forces to capture this ship and return to our respective great lords." The middle-aged man replied after thinking for a while.
Rhodes was a little speechless, he didn't know what kind of education this middle-aged man had received.
It is estimated that after he was discovered to have magical talent, he was brainwashed by dragons with magic every day, so he was so good.
"It's not because of this reason." The old woman suddenly said with a serious face, "The sea area we are in is very dangerous. If there is a wave of magic power, it may attract the attention of sea monsters and destroy our ships."
"Shouldn't the Sea Clan be the controllers of the ocean?" Rhodes turned his head and glanced at the several monitors behind him, and found that they didn't respond to their chat content.
I don't know if they chatted too much and didn't hear it, or they really didn't care about Rhodes' chat.
"Except for this sea area, all the seas are under the control of the Sea Clan, and so is that continent." The old woman replied.
At this moment, Rhodes felt the boat under his feet start to shake violently.
"We didn't encounter a sea monster, did we?" Rhodes asked.
