Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 64 Set sail again
For fifteen days, the people stayed on the island for so long.
Knox woke up, but although Alez had improved a lot and his body had begun to heal, he still had no intention of waking up.
"Lord Viscount. ”
Seeing Eric coming over with a wooden bowl, Knox didn't dare to slack off and got up to take it. It's just that the injury in the chest is not yet good, and once it is touched, it is a heart-rending pain.
"Knox, don't get up. ”
Eric stopped Knox from struggling and handed him the wooden bowl, which contained a small amount of fish soup.
For the wounded who have difficulty eating and drinking, the soup is easier to absorb, and in order to do this, Eric and those who are still awake have wasted a lot of energy.
It is not easy to carve a stone into a jar, and if you accidentally smash a hole, then the stone jar will definitely not be usable.
As for the wooden bowl, it is much simpler, and it is better to say that it is a wooden bowl. It's just a piece of hollowed-out tree trunk that has been washed and stuffed with food.
The fish soup was not hot, and as soon as Knox looked up, he swallowed it with a clatter.
The fish is a good fish, but this is not fishy, and even the salt is not much, and the second is that the cooking skills of several people are not very good. However, the benefits of this thing for the recovery of the body are not small, and Knox endured and drank it.
"Viscount, when are we going to continue our march!"
After drinking the fish soup, Knox began to ask about Viscount Eric's next steps.
"After so many days, our ark is almost finished, and it won't be long before we can set off. ”
Eric looked at Knox, and then at Bourgeo, who was transmitting energy to the ark, thinking that it would not be long in coming.
"It's just that the boy from Alez probably won't have time to wake up, if it's a bumpy road...... But we don't have much time to waste. ”
The ocean is becoming more and more chaotic, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that a sea change has taken place. From these details, it is not difficult to know that the Storm Lord Followers are intervening in various locations and events.
It doesn't matter if he's a plague or a storm.
"In the end, it still depends on his life. If anything, we owe him, or everybody. ”
There was no need for Eric to point out, and Knox also knew that in case of some accidents, Alez, who was the weakest and had no power to resist, would definitely be the first to suffer.
Last time it was just luck, if they encountered the octopus monster again, even a few of them couldn't save themselves, how could they guarantee the safety of Aliez.
"Maybe we can stay for two days after the ark is repaired to see if he can come to his senses, which can be regarded as relieving the burden on his heart. ”
Knox whispered that Alez had saved him, and this kind of favor would not be reciprocated. But now that the time is already very tight, it is natural that he will not delay for too long for Aleti alone. But even if it's a short wait, it can barely be used as a comfort in the heart.
"yes, there's nothing we can do ......"
Eric sighed and stopped talking, and Knox didn't say anything, so he fell into silence.
Suddenly, Bourgeois came to the two of them with the ark, his face indescribably colored.
"Lord Viscount, contrary to my expectations, the Ark has actually begun to repair itself!"
"Oh, but isn't this ark always infused with energy by us to repair itself?"
Eric didn't understand the meaning for a while, according to what he thought, the Ark had always been self-maintaining, and they couldn't handle the problem of maintenance.
"These two are different, self-repairing even if we no longer input energy ourselves, he can automatically maintain, and the input energy maintenance speed has become faster"
Bourcho began to explain that the two were completely different things.
"I suspect that the previous self-repair plate has also been damaged, and it is still very serious, and now that this plate is repaired, the self-maintenance of the ark has begun. ”
"In other words, the Ark maintenance time has been greatly reduced, and when is it expected to be ready to depart?"
The repair of the Ark was indeed good news, but Eric and Knox were not always interested in the topic they had talked about before. But since Bourcho has brought it up, let's compare it with the plan.
"Originally, it was estimated that it would take five to eight days, but now it is guaranteed to be completed in three days, which is much faster. ”
Seeing that Viscount Eric and Knox were not very interested, Bourcho almost thought of something. Eric had discussed this topic with him a long time ago.
"Three days......
A tangled meaning appeared on Viscount Eric's face, the original five to eight days became less than three days, and three days would definitely not make Allezi wake up, his injuries were too serious.
"Then let's set our departure in five days, at least wait a little longer......"
The latter words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't say it in the end. But he didn't care, Bourcho didn't, and it was just a fantasy to bring Alez to his senses in five days.
This is only to lighten the burden on the hearts of these sober people.
Bourcho did not speak, and quietly retreated. Eric also stood up and walked outside, walking towards the beach, feeling a little depressed.
"Alas......"
Knox sighed deeply, not knowing what else to say.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth day arrived
As everyone expected, Aretz still did not come to his senses.
After all, his injuries ran through his chest, from the ribs to the lobes of his lungs. If you drift a little further to the side, even the heart will be annihilated in the blood.
However, he managed to survive, even if he lost too much blood and was no different from a dead man when he was finished, he still survived with his weak breathing.
But now that the appointed time has come, everything is ready, and it's time to hit the road.
The ark was repaired as early as the next night, and the rest of the days were self-redemption.
But there's one more thing to do before leaving the island.
That is to fill the water bladder and then take two mussel shells to serve as a source of water for the sea. Maybe there were more than two shells in the underground spring, but they didn't have much time to delay.
If this mussel shell is really useful, then take care of it, and one or two pieces will be enough for everyone's fresh water. If it doesn't work, then no matter how much you dig, it's pointless, at most it's just a reserve of food that has been stored for now, and I don't know if it can be eaten or not.
The road to the spring is not long, but it is on high ground, and the terrain is a little rough, but it is not a big problem.
Walking to the edge of the pool, Bourcho and Viscount Eric each picked up a basin of water in a wooden basin and put the mussel shells in the water.
Zelin continued to fill the water and hung the water bladder around his waist and the other two. A dozen water bladders, so to speak, were filled to the brim and hung up everywhere.
"Be careful, Bourcho, don't shake too much, and don't spill the water. ”
Eric cautiously walked down the slope with the tub in his hand, and it was inevitable that he would be a little more unsteady with only one right hand left. What is the habit of this thing, but no one has studied it, and if you don't adapt to shaking and die, it's really not worth it.
"Lord Viscount, although the ark is still stable, it will not feel like it is on an island. Now this storm, wave after wave, if this thing can't even stand the climb, then the ship will definitely be finished. ”
Bourcho smiled, he wasn't exactly justifying his big move, if the shell was so poorly tolerated, it wouldn't take a day to die on the ship.
"Don't be poor, Bourcho, even if this thing can withstand the ship's shocks, the less necessary vibrations the better. ”
There are things that cannot be done without obvious damage, let alone something so important, Viscount Eric said this, and Bourcho was dumbfounded. Steady the basin and head towards the camp.
After a while, they were back at camp. Zelin took the ark first, and walked towards the beach with the water bladder and other things.
In the past few days, Knox's injuries have improved a lot, but it is better to leave the task of lifting the wounded to the able-bodied Bourcho.
He took the basin from Bourgeois' hand and cautiously followed behind Zelin. He has never neglected Viscount Eric's explanations.
Bourcho was light-handed, and he knew a lot about medical care. Although it was useless, and the treatment was all based on bandages and self-healing, it was much better than these wounded Gawulf.
Although the burden was a bit heavy, Bourcho did not complain, in any case, his own life was saved by Alex, and his inner attitude was the most basic.
The camp is not too far from the sea, after all, the island is so big that it is easy to get through.
Arriving at the beach, Zelin had already set up the ark and the water bladder, turned and walked to the camp, and began to carry the only food reserves to the boat. It's not much, it's just a few fish.
Knox and Viscount Eric carefully placed the wooden tub containing the mussel shells on the ship. Turning back again, he helped Bourcho carry Alez to the boat, trying to keep him up as steady as possible.
Within half a day, everything had been taken care of, and everyone had boarded the ark.
"Let's go, in this direction, and hopefully it's not too late. ”
Eric poured energy into the Molten Core, and faint points of fiery red light began to gather, eventually appearing as a shining red dot in one section of the Molten Core. Pointing to the red dot, Eric gave the order and set out on the journey once more.
It was rare for the storm to dissipate, and the haze in the sky also revealed a crack. A ray of sunlight poured down, enveloping the island and illuminating everyone.
Looking at the vastness of the vast sea in front of you, the gloomy gray and invisible, frightening depth. The confusion of the future has always been haunting everyone's hearts, although this ray of sunshine is not blazing, but it is very appropriate to the occasion and illuminates everyone's hearts.
Maybe the light is only temporary, but it's better than the eternal shadow. It's like they may not be able to seal the Lord of the Storm forever, but even if it is for another hundred years, this is what they must do.
