The Truth Nairu Feared to Tell
The fire Phoenix had already faded, but heat still lingered above the deck in a thin layer that made the damp wind feel strangely warm.The spirit ship continued to shudder near the intercontinental boundary. Dark clouds rolled beyond the western horizon, and the three sails strained against crosswinds that did not agree with one another. Nairu and his four companions remained kneeling near the central mast, their earlier arrogance gone.Guo Jiang did not begin with punishment.He stood at the bow and looked at them in silence until Nairu’s breathing became steady enough for conversation.“Why are people from Almaria fleeing this far?”The question was simple.Nairu’s eyes shifted toward his companions. One of them lowered his head. Another tightened both hands around the edge of his robe. Their hesitation was not defiance. Guo Jiang r
The Grand Enchanter of Vellenor
“He died in war.”The five mages fell silent.Wind struck the hull, ropes groaned against the masts, and the spirit-energy engine pulsed unevenly beneath the deck. For several breaths, those sounds filled the space where Nairu’s threats had been.The younger mage stared at Guo Jiang. “How can someone on Yin Continent know the details of Almaria’s war?”Guo Jiang did not answer immediately.The practical mage looked toward Nairu, hoping their leader would produce an explanation that restored order. Nairu’s shoulders had already begun to sag. His gem-headed staff remained in his hand, but the weapon no longer pointed toward Guo Jiang.The cautious mage descended from the mast one step at a time.“Great Jorah died tragically,” the younger mage said. “He was defeated during the confl
Five Mages Beneath a Blackening Sky
“Prepare for the intercontinental boundary!” Nairu shouted. “Climb the masts and keep the sails aligned. If we lose the western current, the storm will throw us back into the desert.”The stolen spirit ship rolled beneath violent crosswinds.Dark clouds pressed low above the western Gobi Desert, while a shifting spatial route flickered ahead like a pale wound in the horizon. Three masts divided the narrow deck, leaving little room for movement. The rails offered the only protection from falling, and the cabins below provided no escape if the ship entered unstable space.Nairu stood near the central mast with a gem-headed staff in one hand.He had once served as a minor officer under a provincial Almaria lord, a position too small to command respect among great mages but large enough to teach him how authority sounded. Before weaker people, he spoke loudly and expected immediat
The Thieves From Almaria Continent
Guo Jiang kept his gaze on the dusty messenger. “Describe their direction first, then their appearance and methods.”The young man rubbed both palms against his trousers, leaving pale streaks across the fabric. Fear had pushed him into speaking too quickly, and Shen Jin raised one hand before the words tangled further.“Report in order,” the captain said. “Your name, position, what you witnessed, and what others confirmed.”The messenger swallowed. “Yozom, twenty-five years old. I serve as a junior port guard. My cultivation is at the late Fanren realm.”His shoulders remained tense. Losing a vessel under port protection could cost him his post, his wages, or several years of debt if the harbor officials chose a convenient scapegoat.“Recently, more foreigners have been entering Zguque,” Yozom continued. “Travelers
The Ship Stolen Beneath Dragon Gate
Heat intensified as the spirit ship approached Dragon Gate.The air above the western desert shimmered, and dust struck the hull in dry waves. Shen Jin crossed the deck with a folded cloth in one hand and offered it to Guo Jiang.“Tuan, please cover your nose and mouth. The dust here enters the lungs before most travelers notice.”The cloth was pale apricot rather than pure white.Shen Jin explained the choice while checking the knots securing the nearest sail. “Light colors reflect heat. Pure white is avoided because many communities associate it with mourning, so travelers usually choose pale sand, faded cream, or apricot tones.”Guo Jiang accepted the covering and wrapped it according to local custom. He did not dismiss the practice simply because Banxiang qi could block dust. A traveler who ignored regional customs announced arrogance before speaking.<
A Ship From the Western Continent
Guo Jiang withdrew a necklace from his storage ring and placed it across his palm.The chain was fine but durable, while the pendant carried restrained craftsmanship from Almaria Continent. It was not covered in excessive jewels, and Guo Jiang did not describe its price as though trying to balance one treasure against another.“I received this during my time in Almaria,” he said. “Please accept it.”Mahya’s fingers stopped against the edge of her sleeve.“I did not offer the spirit ship to receive payment.”“Nor am I treating your gift as a market transaction.”“Then keep the necklace.”Guo Jiang shook his head. “If you repay Feilong Order’s debt while refusing every return from me, I remain beneath an obligation that can never close. Jianghu friendship should n
