Chapter 244: Above the Ocean
Bang
Round after round of waves crashed against the bow of the fine wood, and then broke and splashed the waves, but they could not shake the ship in the slightest.
A huge five-masted merchant ship parted from the growing waves and moved slowly, leaving a trail of tumbling white foam behind it.
"Hey, hey, hey—"
"We are sailors who sail the sea—"
"Raise the anchor—"
"Spread the sails—"
"The seagulls danced with me—"
"Freedom walks with me—"
“......”
The simple and rugged lyrics were sung aloud by sailors busy at their posts in various parts of the merchant ship, and spread under the endless blue sky and above the boundless ocean.
Huhuhuhu-
At this time, the wind gradually became more and more violent, which made the sails of the thick linen become full, and also brought more power to the whole merchant ship.
But when the merchant ship's owner, Captain Field, a dark-skinned, weather-beaten seaman with a sparkle in his eyes, saw it, his face became very solemn.
Pulling the cable to the top of the mast, Captain Field sniffed deeply in the wind, then looked at the rolling sea and the distant sky where a little black cloud faintly appeared, and then opened his throat and shouted, "Hey!"
"Boys!"
"Get moving!"
"You've got something to do!"
"Don't you all see any signs of a storm!?"
"The sailman has shown me the sails!"
"Helmsman, left full rudder!"
“......”
After a shout, and seeing the sailors on board prepare for the storm like lubricated gears, Captain Field nodded in satisfaction, pulled up the cable and landed from the top of the mast to a high platform with a slight swing.
Looking at the lean old man in front of him who was fiddling with a brass utensil like a long barrel, Captain Field said unceremoniously, "Hey, old Cheetos!"
"My Navigator!"
"Still tinkering with the gadgets that our honored guests have given you?"
"Now it's your turn!"
"The storm is coming, and I need you to lead my darling to the nearest haven!"
Old Cheedo raised his head, glanced at Captain Field dissatisfied, and scolded, "What do you know!"
"I can tell you!"
"This gadget in your eyes is a treasure that can be heirloom for a navigator like me!"
"It allows the navigator to see things far away, which greatly improves the navigator's ability to lead the ship!"
"As far as I know, only spell items enchanted with 'Eagle Eye' have similar effects!"
"But it doesn't look like it's enchanted!"
"Strange...... It's weird......"
“......”
"Forget it, don't talk about it!"
After a great deal of babbling, old Cheedo stopped his words abruptly, stood up and limped to the edge of the high platform, brought the long cylindrical instrument in his hand to his eyes, closed his eyes and looked into the distance, and then shouted orders to the sailors below.
Scratching his head, Captain Field had been running at sea for nearly twenty years, and he also knew a little bit about the knowledge of the navigator, so he naturally knew how useful such an object that could make the navigator see farther was to them.
Seeing this, Captain Field couldn't help but think of the fact that half a month ago, when he entered the neutral port of Hightut to dock for supplies, the new controller of Hightut suddenly sent someone to contact the secret discussion, promised a great benefit, and then personally sent a young man on the ship in the middle of the night, so that he must be sent to the north safely.
And in the little month that he sailed north, the young man mostly stayed quietly in a specially vacated private room, rarely went out and walked around, and three meals a day were also prepared and sent in, which also made Captain Field feel a lot more relieved.
The person who can let the new controller of Hightut personally send the ship on the ship is absolutely extraordinary, and Captain Field, who has been sailing on the mysterious sea all year round, inevitably has to enter Hightut often, naturally does not dare to slack off.
After quickly acquiring some of the most popular goods in the Northland, he set sail quickly and headed north, but in his heart, he couldn't help but mutter......
While he was thinking about it, Captain Field suddenly heard the sound of the hatch opening, and when he looked up, he saw a young man coming out of the cabin, and there seemed to be a ...... on his shoulder
"Uh......"
At this time, Captain Field was facing a pair of deep eyes that seemed to have a blue light, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes were a little dazed.
After a few moments, Captain Field seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and immediately turned to shout at some of the distracted sailors who were looking at the young man, and under his loud reprimand, the sailors concentrated on the task at hand.
"Hmm, that's it......"
The muse that used the magic of spell silence and spell instantaneous spell instantly smashed a human to Captain Field, and while thinking, he raised his hand and stroked the hair of the little cat girl Lu who was sitting on his shoulder, enjoying the soft touch.
Looking at the waves on the surface of the sea and the howling wind, the muse closed his eyes and silently sensed it, and then his expression became as if it was thoughtful.
"The Wind Elemental, the Water Elemental, and the Thunder Elemental are all gathering in large numbers somewhere in the distance......"
"They're agitated, they're cheering......"
"It doesn't seem like the coming storm was a natural occurrence......"
“......”
"It's not about me......"
At this time, the muse's hand had moved to the little pointed ears of the little catwoman, and she was gently twisting, standing in place and thinking for a moment, and then without hesitation, she turned around and re-entered the cabin, slamming the hatch shut.
In fact, when the muse stepped out to inspect this time, he only sensed the abnormal gathering of elements, and now that he had a general understanding of the situation, he immediately lost interest.
Behind him, there were busy figures of many sailors......
Soon after, the storm came as scheduled, but by this time the merchant ships were docked in a safe harbor, and the ships in the harbor could not be affected by the raging waves of the outside world.
The Muse left the bumpy merchant ship and stayed in a bar in the harbor that doubled as a hotel, and had a good meal.
Strips of bread, cheese bacon, potato goulash, blueberry flan ......
It's impossible to have too much food to serve in this kind of bar, it's all very common, but it's also something you can't eat on a ship, after all, the merchant ships are stocked with some food that can be stored for a long time, such as black bread with no moisture, smoked and dried black lacquered jerky, sour berries, and so on.
There is a deep resentment towards these food muses......
