Chapter 787: Mist

On the third day of the separation from the three-masted galleon, the Little Andreinin entered the open sea, and in the afternoon of the same day, Randolph hurriedly sent someone to inform Lin An:

"Master Lin, according to the chart you gave, we are about to enter the range marked by that chart."

Captain Randolph in the captain's room said to Lin An, "Of course, I once told you that the distribution of the dozen or so islands in the lower left corner of the chart is very similar to the distribution I have seen in this sea area, but the most important island in the middle of the chart, I have never seen it, and I can't rule out that the map is just a scribble." ”

In fact, in his opinion, the act of going to sea in search of a so-called treasure with a pair of charts of unknown origin to spend a large sum of money that could almost buy a new ship is in itself a kind of nonsense.

Of course, as the object of a lot of money, Captain Randolph certainly can't have any opinion on this, but whether Lin An can find their destination or not, this is what he can't guarantee.

"All you have to do is take us to our destination according to the charts, whether it's an island or a stretch of water." Lin Andao.

"The answer to this question is unquestionable, unless the first two times I came to this sea, the whole ship was blind." Captain Randolph muttered.

Lin An suddenly sighed.

"Foggy?" Captain Randolph seemed to have a nerve in his head that was particularly sensitive to the sea, Lin An had just noticed the situation ahead, and Captain Randolph, who had been paying attention to the situation at sea, noticed the blur on the horizon earlier than the lookout, and was immediately alert.

"I think so, right in front of our course, and seeing this fog, I am more sure that we are in the right direction." Lin Andao.

"Let's worry about the size of the fog first, if we have to go around it, it might throw us off course! Strangely, although I am not familiar with this area, I have been here twice, and I have never encountered any sea fog before. Captain Randolph said suspiciously.

"It's weird, indeed."

When he listened to Captain Randolph's description before, Lin An intuitively felt that the "disappeared" island might have been obscured by the Mystery Lock.

However, the maintenance of the misty lock requires a considerable amount of energy, and those naturally formed mystical locks are all because of the special local environment, and in some specific circumstances, a certain energy cycle will be repeatedly formed, so the effect of similar misty locks will appear again and again, leading to many mysterious legends on the sea.

This sudden sea fog was directly ahead of their course, most likely related to the "disappeared" island, but Lin An hadn't noticed the change in the huge energy before-

It stands to reason that if the sea fog does not persist for a long time, then the signs of its appearance are likely to be due to a change in the energy cycle of the misty lock, which often causes the energy to leak out, which is equivalent to the "flaw" of the misty lock, but Lin An did not perceive the fluctuation of the energy leakage.

The boat sailed to the near sea fog, Lin An was more sure of his thoughts, the sea fog has always drifted on the sea surface, but although the sea fog in front of him moved slowly, it always reciprocated within a certain range, and it did not swim aimlessly like the common sea fog.

"What a foggy area!"

Lin An and Captain Randolph walked to the deck, and the crew, who had already noticed the sea fog, had also gone to the deck, and were amazed at the gray-white mist.

Of course, it was impossible for them to break straight into the dense fog, and according to Lin An's requirements, they carefully detoured outside the safe range of the dense fog, and according to the trajectory of the voyage and the fog cover area seen so far, the coverage area of this fog area was beyond imagination.

"Such a big fog, it can't be a mirage!"

"Nonsense, definitely not, we have mages on the ship!"

Captain Randolph heard the crew's argument and turned his head to look at Lin An, who was followed by Salin, Andre, and Sidney, who had come to the deck.

Several of the young mages didn't hear the crew's quarrel, or they didn't care, their eyes flashing with different colors, staring straight at the vast mist, their fingers scratching in the air, their lips muttering as if they were calculating something.

Captain Randolph only glanced at Lin An's eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.

Her eyes were the brightest of the few, and two straight white rays shot out of them, plunging into the thick fog, and no one dared to meet her gaze, even touching those two gazes, and both eyes felt a tingling sensation.

"She's the strongest in the group...... No, maybe there's another one. Captain Randolph remembered the black-armored swordsman who was elusive even on the ship.

Half a day had passed since the fog area was back in place, and the sun that had begun to set to the west had already stained a large cloud cover.

Captain Randolph recalled that on Lynn's chart, the sea fog had shrouded the island they were going to, and he was now beginning to believe that there might really be a hidden island.

The crew had long lost their curiosity about the sea fog in front of them, and the crew members who were on duty one after another returned to the deck and saw that Lin An and several other mages were still hungry and thirsty on the deck.

They were no longer staring straight into the fog, and a lot of paper appeared in their hands.

The golden-haired male mage grabbed the pen and buried his head in the floating paper, the silver-haired mage grabbed a book and flipped through it, a pile of books staggered to and fro, and the black-haired male mage kept pacing around, scratching his hair wildly, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding his head, and muttering to himself.

The only female mage had the most paper next to her, and two or three quills danced on the paper at the same time, as if she could manipulate the invisible servants to calculate for her.

Go crazy!

For the state of several mages, seeing their crew only had this feeling, but out of some subconscious awe, none of them dared to approach the deck where Lin An and the others were, and they even walked lightly.

Worked it out!

The quill on a few pieces of white paper suddenly stopped, Lin An suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and ignored Andre, directly caught Captain Randolph, and immediately grabbed him.

"Quick, follow the route of this map, we must find the island before nightfall!"

Captain Randolph did not protest Lin An's move of rolling him over with his mental power, realizing that the situation was urgent, he immediately caught the picture that flew over out of thin air.

Although a lot of lines and small characters were added to the map, Captain Randolph's keen eyes still recognized the prototype of the map at a glance as a copy of Lin An's chart, but the route on it was extremely complicated, and with the dense small print, Captain Randolph was dazzled at a glance.

Without hesitation, Captain Randolph returned to the stern and took over the helm, while the second mate shouted at the crew to take their seats and cheer up.

"No, put the small boat, don't use the big boat to enter." Andre and the others had already withdrawn from that state of madness at some point, and followed Lin An closely, Sidney suddenly stopped it.

"Yes, let the boat go, don't let too many people in." Lin An originally planned to drive the big boat directly in, but seeing Sidney's insistence, he nodded after thinking about it.

"This ......"

Captain Randolph was about to say that we would never give away what we had seen inside, but André and Salin had already arrived on a prepared cypress ship, pulled out various materials from the space, and painted on it.

After drawing the circle, it was activated, and the boat was immediately enveloped in a flood of blue light.

Captain Randolph realized that it would obviously not be smooth sailing inside, and Lin An and they could not protect such a large ship.

He didn't drag it any longer, he ordered the boatswain and the three strongest sailors on the ship, and rowed for Lin An and them, as for him, as the captain, it was impossible to leave the boat and enter with them, it was the captain's duty.

The men of the sea have an adventurous heart, and the unknown and mystery are the most attractive temptations for them, and the boatswain and his three subordinates are very glad to have this opportunity.

As soon as the four boats were put down to the sea, Lin An and his party except Athena got on the boat, and the boatswain immediately couldn't wait to ask:

"Where's the entrance? Master Mage. ”

Lin An raised his hand and shot out a spiritual light, forming a clear light above the ship, and the sailor holding the oar immediately understood, followed the direction of the light, quickly found the entrance into the dense fog, and plunged the boat into it.

"Is it astrology?"

Circulating the chart drawn by Lin An, Salin and the others were slightly surprised, and the vein that had been unclear in their minds seemed to have a direction suddenly, and they suddenly realized: "That's right, it is indeed the astrological phase, and this mysterious lock operates according to the changes of the astrological phase!" ”

"But the star orbit has long been chaotic, and with the help of astrological calculations, I'm afraid there will be a mistake." Lin An is not the only one who has found the key, Sidney objected.

"That's right, due to the chaos of the star track, the cycle of this mystery has long been different, if it weren't for the change of the star track, this fog would not have been revealed at all, this is probably the reason why Captain Randolph has been here before, but they have never noticed that there is an island nearby!" Lin Andao.

Sidney pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "What kind of astrological calculation locks do you use?" ”

"The stupidest one, first deduce the current law of the mystery, and then deduce the original version before the change of the star track - you know, the appearance of the fog means that the mystery lock has appeared loopholes and flaws, in fact, the laws and formulas involved in the original version of the mystery lock before the change of the star track, needless to say, the complexity of the process dù, its connection and structure is the most troublesome. However, this puzzled structure gives me a typical style from the Ancient Magic Dynasty, so it wasn't too difficult. ”

Lin Andao.

Andre and Salin looked at each other and smiled bitterly, their progress was only half of Lin An's, Lin An said this, it was too shocking.

The boatswain and the others couldn't understand what Lin An was discussing, and rowed the boat wholeheartedly.

Titi stood at the stern of a ship adjacent to Lin An, watching as the gray mist gradually closed behind them, filling the rough sea, obscuring their path.
