The devil's sea, the sky is clear.

Angel propped his head and lazily looked at the clear blue sky outside the window: "It's actually a sunny day again, this is really the Devil's Sea?"

"I remember Lucas in his diary that when he prayed sincerely, the god of the sea took pity on him and told him that there was a sea that was always sunny. Isn't that what you're talking about?" said Ingres.

Originally, this was just a horse race for his thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and it had been almost a week since the Yunluo left the misty area. The week was all sunny, with no storms and no waves, just like the sea of baleen in the moon, calm and peaceful.

But will there be a calm and peaceful place in the Devil's Sea? Ingres was a little unconvinced.

You know, this route is so peaceful that you don't even see a few sea beasts.

There were no sea beasts to kill, Toby was wilting outside the window, lazily basking in the sun.

Angel stretched and pushed open the balcony door, and the golden sunlight immediately sprinkled on him, with a warm feeling.

Leaning against the iron railing, Ingres enjoyed the soothing comfort of the sun while blowing the sea breeze.

"It doesn't matter if it's the clear sea as recorded in Lucas's logbook, but it's nice to be able to capture this warm sun in the winter. Angel mused.

After a while, Angel finished his rest and decided to go back indoors to continue his research. But when I glanced at the deck below, I found that there used to be a place where sailors were noisy, but now it was quiet.

There was only one sailor standing guard, sick leaning against the pillar, his face pale.

"Huh, according to the liveliness of those sailors, why didn't they react when they saw the sun now?" Ingres stood still, recalling his memories of those days.

He has been discussing the pattern making of shoes with Nano for nearly half a month, and he hasn't gone out much. However, he didn't seem to hear anything outside.

These sailors aren't going to be cats in winter, are they?

Ingres looked at the visibly sickly sentry sailor in the distance, and felt a little worried. Or is it that everyone else, like this sailor, is sick?

Angel thought about it and decided to use his mental power tentacles to poke down to see the situation. If a large number of sailors really fell, it would not be a trivial matter, and it would be even more difficult for him to go to the Ferran continent if no one drove the ship.

Just as Ingres was about to investigate, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and there was a knock on his door.

The person who came was Helen, who had not been seen for nearly a week. Helen's face was also a little pale, and she seemed to be sick, not only her lips were chapped, but her originally fat figure had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.

"Vice Captain Helen, is there anything wrong with me?" Ingres returned to the table and sat down, looking at Helen who was standing in front of him, clasped his hands.

After taking a few deep breaths, Helen said to Angel, "Lord Pat, we need your help. ”

Half an hour later, Ingres filled nearly two hundred buckets of fresh water with a water delivery technique, and then looked at the sailors who left his room with joy with a subtle expression.

He originally thought that there was an infectious disease on the ship, and he decided to solve the source of the disease himself. Helen told him that everyone was not sick, but that they had not drunk water for several days, and that they were all shriveled.

Helen hadn't been wet for almost two days, so her lips were chapped.

Angel didn't expect the answer to be like this.

But when you think about it, it seems right. For most of the month, Silver Palm Island could not make landfall, and it could not replenish the fresh water resources, and it did not rain when entering the foggy area, and now this section of the route is sunny every day, and it is impossible to obtain fresh water, and the lack of water is also normal.

It's just that Angel can't figure it out, according to Helen, he has been short of water since he entered the fog area, and it has been more than half a month now, and he didn't come to him until now?

"We're afraid to disturb adults. Helen lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

"I once said that if you want to thank me, you will safely sail the Yunluo to the Ferran Continent, which is also our common goal now. Before you achieve this goal, you can come to me to discuss any obstacles on the way. Angler paused: "I don't want the lack of resources to detract from the loss of people on board, causing the time to go to the Ferran continent to be pushed back." ”

Helen nodded, "I see." ”

"Now that the problem of water shortage has been solved, you are short of food resources now?"

Helen shook her head: "Food storage is sufficient, there are many dehydrated vegetables, air-dried meat, and canned food." We also have special personnel for fishing, and there is no shortage of food. ”

Ingre's expression was slightly disappointed, he had originally wanted to practice magic bread. Since there is no shortage of food, there is no life for them to be happy.

After talking about the resource problem, Helen said: "My lord, in addition to the water resource problem, there is another thing, that is, the problem of choosing the next regional route. ”

As soon as he heard this question, Ingres's head grew. He didn't have any outside advice now, so he couldn't give Helen their advice, and he asked Helen and Alwyn to make their own decisions every time, but they had to come and ask every time.

According to them, this is a process arranged by Baibei Shipping Company, and the decision of the route must involve transcendents.

So there was no way, Angel sighed: "You say it." ”

Anyway, after Helen finished speaking, she would also take the initiative to tell the pros and cons of each route and give Angel advice. He just had to follow Helen's advice.

Helen took out the chart and pointed to a red cross on the way: "My lord, at the current speed, we will arrive here in the early hours of tomorrow morning - the dead ring." ”

Helen spoke for most of the day, and Ingres listened to the idea: Dead Loop is an extremely important transit point, and there are only three relatively safe routes to choose from, which is much rarer than the dozens of routes before.

Helen: "Although the route on the dead loop is dangerous, these three are relatively safe, and the accident rate is basically below 5%. The three routes are: the windless sea, the summer dew ridge and the winter channel. ”

"The windless sea is also known as the road of loneliness. There is very little wind here, and the speed is much slower than on other routes. If you want to speed up, you can only activate the ship's reserve kinetic energy, but this is very likely to attract the attention of the giant sea beast of the windless sea. Therefore, when we take this road, we all rely on manpower to move forward. ”

As soon as he heard that the speed of this road would be slow, Angel had already crossed his heart.

"The Winter Passage, this is an extremely cold route, there are few sea beasts, although there is ice drifting, but the Yunluo has the effect of breaking the ice quickly, so it is okay to take this road. ”

When it came to the last route, Helen hesitated: "Xia Lu Hailing, this road is the route we used to take. It's just that this time we don't want to go down this course. ”

"Why?" Ingres looked at the chart, there are still many islands in the middle of this Xialu Ridge, for ships that have been drifting on the sea for a long time, there should be islands that should be worth anchoring, right?

"The reason why it is called Xia Lu Hailing is because this sea area is inhabited by a witch, and according to the previous words of Lord Roman, that witch is called Xia Lu. Every time before going to Xialu Sea Ridge, the ships of our Sky Machinery City must send a message to her asking for navigation, and if they trespass, they will be regarded as enemies, and the foreign ships will be shot down and sunk. ”

"In the past, Lord Roman was in control of the way to communicate, but now Lord Roman has ......" Helen paused: "Without contact information, we had better not go down this path." I heard that Xia Lu Witch's temper is not good, and the reason why she has always been willing to give us the route is that the person behind the White Shell Shipping Company personally visited her and made some promises before she agreed. ”

Angel searched her mind for most of the day, but she didn't have a specific image. However, from what Helen said, she dared to live in the Devil's Sea all the time, and she should be a powerful transcendent. Even someone from Sky Mechanical City has visited her, so it's likely that she is an official wizard.

The official wizard's subordinates, or don't step into it at will, otherwise you will be killed for offense, and that is also self-inflicted.

"And what is your suggestion, which course should we take?" asked Ingres.

Helen pondered for a moment: "If you want to be safe without waves, go to the windless sea." There are still many islands in the Winless Sea that can be replenished, but the pace may be slower. A month will be wasted in this area. ”

"If you want to go faster, you can take the Winter Passage. It's just that this waterway, the environment may be relatively harsh. Each time, sailors were frozen or even killed in the cold winter passages. Helen Road.

Listening to Helen's tone, she was obviously more inclined to the windless sea. However, Angel wants to hurry, so he prefers to take the Winter Passage himself.

"Take the Winter Passage, the cold question...... I'll figure it out. "Ingres thought to himself: it's a big deal to spend a day carving a thermostatic pattern on the ship.

Helen's jaw should be that with her understanding of this wizard during this time, she also knows that the other party is a person who does what she says, and since she said that she wants to solve the problem of cold, she will definitely come up with a solution to it.

"I'll go and consult with Captain Arvin, and give the order. Helen said, and prepared to put away the charts and leave.

Ingres's eyes were still on the chart, and he noticed that on the other side of the "dead loop", there was a nearly straight channel. However, this area was marked with a skull, and Angel was curious: "What is this route?"

Helen looked over, and a trace of fear appeared on her face: "My lord, this sea area is extremely dangerous, even the big people in the Baibei Shipping Headquarters dare not easily get involved." ”

"According to Lord Roman, this sea is also called the Sea of Ghosts, and countless terrifying ghosts have sunk and floated there. Any ship that enters will turn into a ghost ship and never be able to leave. ”

"Sea of Ghosts, no wonder skulls are marked here. Instead of delving into it, Ingres folded the chart and handed it to Helen.

After Helen put away the chart, Ingres suddenly remembered one of his doubts just now.

"Helen, when you came to this sea in the past, it was always sunny?"
