The Turning Gears Chapter 34 Beneath the Deep Sea
"Captain, there's a big creature down there!" said the three sailors in the bow excitedly. Captain Wei walked to the bow of the ship, and the old face showed an excited expression, and he turned to the three people who were still on the deck on the side of the ship and smiled: "Three Excellencies, you have a good mouth tonight!"
Captain Wei walked next to the three sailors who were fishing, all three of them were wearing sailors' short sleeves, revealing their thick and dark arms, Lin Moyang saw that these three people said they were fishing, but they did not have fishing rods in their hands, each of the three sailors held a trident in their hands, the three of them stood at the bow of the boat, holding the trident high and chanting incantations aloud like a prayer, and the sea near the bow of the ship was like boiling, Lin Moyang was helped by Green and Taylor to the bow of the boat.
Lin Moyang took a closer look, only to see that the water at the bow of the boat was full of beating fish, and each of them was not small. Two sailors who did not carry a trident were hoisted into the water in a cage, and the fish swam into the cage on their own, in an orderly manner. The two sailors lifted the cage and carefully identified the fish in the cage, put the small, younger fish back into the cage, and moved the remaining large fish to the bucket next to it, and then put the cage back into the sea.
In a few moments, the bucket was full of fish, and it was more like the group of sailors had made some kind of py deal with the fish of the ocean. At this time, the foreheads of the three sailors were covered with sweat, and they said, "Captain, this thing is too heavy, it seems to be a whale?"
Captain Wei took off his blackened jacket, revealing a sky-blue vest and a strong figure, and he smiled at first: "The three lords are so lucky, it seems that there is a dead whale around here, and you can eat whale meat at night." He stretched out his hand and moved his wrist, and immediately a sailor handed him a trident, and the man likewise lifted the trident to the sky, and began to mutter. It was not obvious that the captain was still a senior sea priest, and with his addition, the currents near the ship changed significantly, and the currents rose from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the water, as if countless bubbles had bubbled up on the surface of the sea. The expressions on the faces of the three sailors were noticeably lighter.
"What is this, why is it so heavy?" Captain Wei's expression became solemn, the thing below was supported by the current, he could feel the weight and size of the thing underwater, but it felt different from that of a fish. This spell only communicates to the bounty of the sea, that is, the fish that are about to complete their journey of life. Most whales have extremely long lifespans, and whales are scarce, so even seabreakers may not be able to summon an elderly whale when they summon fish.
But Captain Wei could feel that there was indeed something huge underwater. They are now in the Atlantic Ocean, where the average depth of the seabed is about 4,000 meters, but because they are now very close to the Tristan da Cunha Islands, the depth of the seabed under their feet should be less than 3,000 meters, and whales can dive to great depths, but they generally swim in the sea area of about 1,000 meters. The location of this behemoth is at the very deep bottom of the sea, just in the depths of the seabed, motionless. When the ocean current detected this huge object, Captain Wei could feel the ocean current being separated by this huge object.
"It's a bit strange. Drop anchor, call all the priests, and we'll work together to raise this thing to the surface!" said Captain Wei at once.
"Yes!" The sailor on the side immediately changed his gesture, the trident in his hand drew a circle in the air, and a circular current was immediately generated on the side of the ship, and this miniature wrapping current immediately fixed the sailboat to the sea.
"Sorry, the situation has changed slightly, and please stay on the deck and don't move. Captain Wei put down the trident in his hand, he hurriedly apologized to the three Greens, and hurried into the cabin.
"What's the situation?" As soon as the ship stopped, Lin Moyang felt much better, the sea breaker was worthy of being the son of the sea, and he was able to create a calm current in a small area to act as an anchor, otherwise with the depth of the water where they were docked now, a normal anchor would not be able to touch the bottom of the sea at all.
"They must have found something, such as a relatively large sea animal carcasse, and possibly a sea monster or something. Taylor explains, and she's not surprised by the situation.
"Sea ...... Sea monsters??, does that really exist?" Lin Moyang's mind came up with long tentacles and something with nine heads. He'd just seen the Komera, and he didn't want to fight a sea monster in a place like this.
"There are already giant animals in the ocean that cannot exist on land, because of the buoyancy of the water, the size of the animal's skeleton will not be too burdened by gravity, the animals in the ocean may grow very huge, the body length of the blue whale can reach 40 meters, and the length of the wave breaker we are riding is only about 30 meters. However, the physique of some mythical species can exceed the normal physique, and grow to a size that cannot be reached by the same species. Haven't you and Lord Green seen the 15-meter-long Cormara?" Taylor had a rightful expression, "The reason why there are so few sightings of sea monsters in such a large sea is because the sea is too vast, and the second is that the sea breakers have been hunting sea monsters all the time, or preventing sea monsters from approaching their normal routes. ”
"You mean, we might have a sea monster-level octopus down there?" Lin Moyang really had little knowledge of a creature like a sea monster, and the only thing he could think of was some kind of huge squid, a huge tentacle sticking out of the sea.
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous, your Excellency, the king squid generally doesn't take the initiative to come to the shallow sea, if it's a sea monster, it's even better, Your Excellency shouldn't have eaten a meter-thick barbecue squid leg, right?" At this time, Captain Wei went and returned, followed by a group of sailors, it is estimated that the sailors in the whole cabin have been gathered, Lin Moyang has also seen these sailors, every morning this group of sailors will gather on the deck to listen to Captain Wei's lecture, and will return to their jobs to continue working after the lecture.
Now these sailors all have a trident in their hands, and these seabreaker sailors are actually sea priests.
"Little ones, there's a big guy under the water, we'll have to drag this big guy up together! Give me some spirits! If anyone is found out by me and can't do anything, I'll let him go back to the priestly academy in Atlantis for a few more years after this boat is over!" Captain Wei took his trident and stood at the bow of the ship to lecture the sailors.
"Are they so happy to pull a sea monster?" Lin Moyang looked at the high morale of the sailors around him, and didn't know how to evaluate this group of sailors for a while. If it were him, he would definitely step on the accelerator to the end, what does it matter to us, but speaking of which, does this ship have a throttle?
Lin Moyang thought wildly, in the past few days, he who is seasick and dizzy, he is about to suffocate to death, although the sail on his head is occasionally open, but most of the time it is just an ornament, this group of sea breakers never follow the current, the experience of sailing is like a joke for them, this ship has been ruthlessly along a straight line directly across the Atlantic, all the way from Europe to here. Sure enough, he is a master of manipulating ocean currents.
"The Sea Breakers believe that everything is arranged by fate, especially in the sea, the sea will communicate its needs and information to the Sea Breaker, and the Sea Breakers are the guardians of the sea, and they will respond to the call of the sea. Taylor looked at the sailors who held their tridents aloft.
The five great and three rough sailors had now lost their rugged appearance and revealed the inner body of the priesthood, with solemn weapons in their hands and vows in their mouths.
In Lin Moyang's eyes, countless light blue points of light gradually emerged from the sea around them, and the air was gradually filled with these crystalline energy beads.
"Wow, God. Lin Moyang circled from the deck, countless light blue points of light wrapped the ship in the center of the ocean, these points of light continued to tremble like breathing, and every time Lin Moyang's eyes looked around a point of light, this point of light would tremble slightly, making the sound of water droplets.
"What god?" Green asked with some curiosity when he heard Lin Moyang's words. Lin Moyang was still looking around, but Green also looked at the sea around him, and he couldn't see anything other than the undulating sea and the white clouds in the sky in the distance.
"Can't you see it? so many blue water droplets, so beautiful, where did they come from?" Lin Moyang stretched out his hand and pointed to a point of light on his face, and when he looked closer, he realized that it was a blue water drop suspended in the air, like the purest gem, even the disturbance of his gaze could cause waves on the water droplets. Sunlight passes through these droplets, leaving a dappled pearl on the deck.
"Seabreakers, work hard!" Captain Wei slammed his trident onto the deck, the end of his trident slamming into the deck.
The seabreakers raised their tridents at the same time, and the chanting grew louder and louder.
A huge undercurrent rose from the sea next to the sailboat, like some colossal beast churning beneath the deep sea, causing the sea to swell like a boiling hot pot. 123 Kanshu.com
Captain Wei was the presiding officer of the ceremony and the main manipulator of the currents of the group of sea breakers, and now his consciousness and touch followed the churning currents to the bottom of the sea thousands of meters below, and the currents were their tentacles and arms, and he could feel that the currents had lifted the behemoth, and the behemoth showed no signs of moving or surviving, like a huge reef.
However, the reef can't attract feedback from the tide spell, and the only thing that can feed back the tide spell is the gift from the sea.
The seabreakers cast spells above the surface of the sea, and the currents are their arms, sinking thousands of meters deep into the ocean floor and lifting what they want to lift straight to the surface.
"What are they doing?" Lin Moyang no longer paid attention to the blue droplets around him, because with the chant of the Sea Breaker, these floating water droplets scrambled into the sea like homing birds.
"They're manipulating the currents to lift what's beneath the surface of the water out of the water. Taylor explains, "Sea breakers can manipulate currents, and this range of current manipulation is as simple as a trick for them. They all cast spells together, and given enough time, they can even create permanent natural phenomena. The Antarctic Gyre is their work, but they don't know how much time it took them to have spent such a large ocean current, or even an earth-level natural phenomenon. ”
"The darling of the sea, the guardian of the ocean, really lives up to its name. Green looked at the surging waters on the surface, and he knew that beneath the surface was a man-made undercurrent that came from the bottom of the sea and went straight to the surface.
"The sea is a whole, and even moving a drop of water in the sea can change every drop of water in the sea in disguise. Even without the help of the spell of the ocean, just by using water to pluck the surface of the water, you can make the whole sea change for you. The water is constantly flowing and the sea is constantly changing. Captain Wei also had a layer of fine sweat on his head, but this tough guy man still had the energy to chat with the three of them, which showed that this man was at ease.
"Compared to a sorcerer who distorts reality out of thin air, or a shaman who communicates with the spirits of all things, we are only guiding the changes in the sea. Captain Wei said modestly, but in their hands they were powerful forces that could shake the heavens and the earth and change natural phenomena.
"Captain, the depth of the target has risen to about 1000 meters. The sailor reported, the trident in Captain Wei's hand was still pointing at the sky, and the captain nodded: "Can you sense something?"
"The depth is too deep to confirm with the eye, but the ocean current confirms that it is a dead thing. The sailor said that when the ocean current passed through the body of the thing, it always felt a jerky sense of blockage, and there was no sense of harmony between the sea creatures and the current.
If they are dying sea animals, then these animals will follow the current to the side of the Sea Breaker, and even the vicious sea monster will swim under this current towards the destination indicated by the Sea Breaker.
"Then it's supposed to be a shipwreck! Boys work hard! Get it up. Captain Wei let out a cheer, he was an experienced seabreaker, since he judged so, then he must not be wrong, as soon as the sailors heard that it was a sunken ship, they immediately let out a happy cheer, just like the New Year.
"They are so happy about the shipwreck?" Lin Moyang couldn't get the joy of these sea men for a while, only to see that this group of sea breakers laughed when they heard about the shipwreck.
"Because shipwrecks represent wealth and opportunity, and if it is a wrecked pirate ship, then there are often forgotten treasures on it, and the dealings between shipbreakers and pilgrims are also made with the treasures of the shipwrecks plus some unique marine resources. At present, about 20% of the ambergris resources in the international market are actually collected by the sea breakers and circulated to the market through the companies in the hands of the pilgrims. Taylor explained in due course.
It seems that this part of the property was later transferred to the Round Table Council, and became one of the common assets of the Parliament, which bears a part of the annual maintenance expenses of the Parliament. Green said with a smile.
Lin Moyang looked at the two members of the Sword of Damocles talking and laughing, as if he was being excluded, Green and Taylor knew these things he didn't understand, and at this time, he couldn't interject for a while, he felt that he was out of place with the wizards.
Just as he was thinking this, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the hatch of the ship. Lin Moyang frowned when he heard the footsteps, he really felt that the sailors were not tired of wiping the deck, and they were not tired of wearing high heels on the ship.
Lilil, dressed in a swimsuit, poked her head out of the hatch of the ship and waved at Lin Moyang with a wicked smile. As soon as this cargo heard that it was going to sea, although it was said that vampires could not pass through flowing waters, when it was time to set off, this cargo actually carried a box of swimsuits and sunscreen, and I really wondered if this cargo was quietly preparing on the day I heard that it was going to take the ship. This cargo is still on the bottom of her body, and she is on the boat every day in a sexy swimsuit and high heels, or how can Captain Wei say that she is a beautiful scenery on the ship.
At this moment, Liliel jumped to Lin Moyang's side lively, although this thing is not driving indiscriminately, but now it is even more excessive than driving, and it will be pasted up if it doesn't agree with a word, and it is more sticky than a dog skin plaster.
"Isn't it time for you to sunbathe yet, why are you on deck at this time?" said Lin Moyang angrily.
Since Liliel got on board, she has been much better than the seasick guy he was every day, not only was she refreshed and had a good appetite, but every day from noon to afternoon, this guy would change into a swimsuit and sunbathe on the deck. Looking at the bag of things she prepared, it was probably because she wanted Lin Moyang to help her apply sunscreen, but unfortunately, Lin Moyang was no different from a dead man as soon as he got on the boat, and the other young sailors who volunteered would be persuaded to return by this blood clan with a murderous look.
Fortunately, Lilil's appearance and figure have returned to the level of stunning but not beyond the scope of human beings, otherwise I don't know if this group of sailors will take risks.
"Eh, there's not even a man in the cabin who can be addicted, so I'll come up and take a look~ Your Excellency, what are you doing?" Liliel said as she came to Lin Moyang's side, and her bare body with a large area of snow-white skin kept sticking to Lin Moyang's body. "Your Excellency's spirit seems to be much better~ You can finally help me apply sunscreen in the afternoon~ This afternoon, I want to make up for the shares I owe in the past few days!" Liliel looked at Lin Moyang who seemed to have recovered a little bit of vitality, and suddenly smiled happily, that is, the words she said made Lin Moyang's brain hurt for a while.
"Are you asking me to help you apply sunscreen, or do you want me to touch you? Lin Moyang interrupted the impurity of a certain blood clan.
"Of course, it's touching me~ I'm super confident in my skin, it must be better than the best quality silk, and there is no scar or pigmentation on the skin of my whole body~ Do you want me to take it off for you?" Liliel said, her hands wrapped around her back, making a gesture to take it off.
"I don't believe you dare to take it off...... Stop making a fuss, there's something to do. Lin Moyang finally figured out the character of this blood girl in human form through Lilil's unilateral intimate conversation in the past few days, at least now she still has the lowest sense of shame, in front of him.
"Eh, it's not interesting, Your Excellency thinks that you don't feel distressed when so many people look at my body? I'm still afraid that you will be sad and jealous, and I have refused to apply sunscreen to many little brothers these days. Liliel put down the hand behind her and reached out to hold Lin Moyang's palm.
"Pull it down, what kind of jealousy am I......" Lin Moyang simply didn't want to deal with this fanatical female fan of upside down, the key is that he couldn't get rid of her in the past few days.
"Your Excellency, what are you doing, why do I feel ...... Is there something very bad?" Liliel took Lin Moyang's hand, obviously if she usually did this, her next step was to put her whole body on Lin Moyang's arm, but at this time, this blood girl actually showed a rare serious expression, she said in a serious tone, and at the same time her eyes turned to the surging waters of the sea in the distance.
