Chapter 194: Choice and the Storm
After feeling the changes in his body carefully, Evan slowly opened his eyes.
"Scared, what are you doing?!"
A face leaned in front of him, startling him.
"Hey, hey, hey..."Milan grimaced with a shy face, rubbing his hands together and staring directly at the fruit in Aven's hand.
"Who said they didn't want to eat in the first place?
There are thirty in total, and twelve for one person should be almost to the limit, and it is a waste to eat more if you can't digest it in a short time. I'll be of great use to the remaining six. ”
If it weren't for the alchemy bomb that Milan had quietly brought on the ship tonight, there would really be no good way to clean up this "mirage starfish". Even if you want to slowly grind it to death with an alchemy musket, it is simply not realistic for a sea monster with a huge size and the sea as its home field.
Distributing the spoils according to merit, Evan could only endure the heartache and give half of it to Milan.
"Enough, enough!" Milan smiled, holding his share of the fruit.
There are only a few kinds of auxiliary resources for popular cultivation: artificially blended potions, demonized flesh and blood rich in mystical factors, and cherished natural herbs.
But this artificial "essence fruit" is the first time Milan has seen it.
Although as a school wizard, he has no shortage of inheritance, and some corresponding potions and resources can also be obtained. But this kind of food, like food, has no side effects of drugs and is delicious (point), of course, there are not too many of them at all.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the rest? This level of 'tonic' is below the official knight level, so you don't plan to use it to feed the birds, right?!"
Carefully harvesting his share of the fruit, Milan was a little curious about the use of the remaining six fruits.
"Don't you think that with the nature of these fruits, the most suitable use is not actually a cultivation aid, but to help them get through the weak period when the official knights advance?"
Ai Wen didn't sell it, and said his plan bluntly.
"You mean...?"
Soon.
The fog, which has lost its source, dissipates when it is blown by a strong sea breeze.
The two men brought in the icy water and easily woke up the officers on the ship.
Whoa!
"Shhhh
Looking at the officers who were still dripping with water in front of him, Ai Wen's face did not change, and told them the "crisis" that had just been born in the most concise language.
"Sea monster?!"
Although it felt incredible, when they saw the two huge tentacles on the deck, they had to believe that their group had just experienced a thrilling journey called "Half-day Tour of the Sea Monster's Mouth".
Later, for the first time in their naval careers, this magical experience was recorded in their logbooks, which were then preserved as evidence of the ship's distress. It is foreseeable that as long as they are still on this boat, there will be a second and third time later...
The officers were instructed to call the crew up, and although it was still very dark, it was close to the early hours of the morning. Once you are bitten by a snake, it is better to be a little more careful in the future.
"Our position is very close to the open sea, although the 'Conch' is only a sixth-class ship, but under special circumstances, some secrets on the sea can already be revealed to the crew to a limited extent.
I authorize the crew to be informed of the existence of the sea monsters. I just harvested a lot of sea monster meat, and I'll give the soldiers more food tomorrow!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
At this time, the officers had already realized that when the entire crew lost consciousness, it was His Excellency the Captain, with the assistance of the Navigator, who "single-handedly" solved the terrible sea monster that was like a natural disaster in the eyes of ordinary people.
The previous glorious victory over the pirates, coupled with the inhuman strength that Evan displayed at this time, made the officers even more in awe of him. Even everyone is excited from the bottom of their hearts, and the future of His Excellency Captain and future generations may really be able to look forward to something...
Under this mentality, every word of the captain was thoroughly implemented by them as an iron law without the slightest discount!
"Gary come with me!"
In the captain's room.
"Gary, it's up to you to make your own choice...."
Evan communicated his idea to Gary, and without the slightest surprise, Gary immediately agreed, and even a little eager to try.
If you miss it, who knows if there will be a next one?'
After such a long period of training and growth, Gary is no longer the country boy of the past, and there is an equally strong heart hidden under his strong physique.
Moreover, the boss took out the top-grade ordinary characteristics worth thousands of golden lions for his own use. Even for the sake of this valuable mortal characteristic, there is absolutely no reason for me to fail!
"Originally, I was going to wait until I finished this mission and returned to the 6th Ground when the conditions were better before letting you break through.
However, today we have a new harvest, and the problem of the weak period can be solved perfectly.
Finally, I'll ask you again, have you decided?"
Evan confirmed for the last time.
"No problem! I feel like I'm in good shape right now, and I'll be able to start right away. Gary nodded heavily, Gary, who had no resistance to the "Mirage Starfish", seemed to have had a deep sleep, and his current state was unexpectedly good.
"Good!"
In contrast to a frailty recovery period that lasts for several weeks, the breakout does not take very long. At most, one night, whether it can break through or not will have results.
He knows a person best, and since Gary feels that he is in good shape, at this time, Evan only needs to give him full support.
As a wizard of the "Potions Branch", it is naturally impossible to lack the tools for dispensing medicines, and he is extremely skilled in concocting the "Black Sea Potion" with the ordinary properties of the "Spear Piercing Toothfish" as the main material.
However, because the "spear stabbing toothfish" is not one of the sharks required by the "Black Sea Potion", Aven has made small changes to the original prescription. This kind of fool-style potion recipe that even a layman can prepare is not the slightest difficulty for Aven now.
Zila!
Just like Aven, a blue-green "little fish" was poured into ice water created by witchcraft.
With a long sigh, it turned into a bowl of dark blue liquid.
Gary took it solemnly and drank it in one gulp.
No one can help with the rest, so he can only rely on himself. Evan took a deep look at Gary, who was already sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, and walked out of the captain's room.
The sailors had all been called, each in accordance with their duties, and some of them were in the tentacles of the two sea monsters lying on the slitting deck.
"Your Excellency Captain is so strong that even this kind of monster can be defeated!"
"Don't talk about the monster itself, look at its tentacles and my legs are going to be weak, when will we be as strong as His Excellency the Captain?"
Although this group of recruits was a little surprised for a while because the legends and reality on the sea coincided. But because some of the officers explained the situation in advance, the excitement of witnessing the killing of a strong enemy was more than the fear.
Cowards can't be sailors, and neither are they.
Find Milan again, because he doesn't know how far he has been dragged by the sea monster at night, and it is certain that he will deviate from the intended course, and Evan desperately needs to know his location.
"Can you determine where we are?"
In normal navigation, in order to determine one's position in the endless sea, it must be carried out by experienced professionals in combination with astrological signs, sextants and nautical charts.
But as a wizard of the Prophecy School, Milan's methods are naturally more than that, even if the sky is gloomy and there is not even a trace of starlight, it will not be difficult for him in the slightest, and it will only be more accurate and efficient.
"To be honest, the situation is not very rosy.
We have actually yawed past the critical line and entered the dangerous open sea completely. It has been three days to reach the original destination, Sint Maarten, and if the wind is bad, it is possible for four days.
Damn the sea monster is running too fast!"
While talking about Milan, he was also a little depressed, and now not only did he not get close to the planned naval base, but he was much farther away.
"Let's do this for now, and try to hurry. As long as you are not unlucky enough to encounter pirates again, even if the ammunition reserves are insufficient, there is nothing. ”
There is no way, sea navigation is like this, especially with a means of transportation such as a sail warship, which can only rely on the power of the wind to act, the journey seems extraordinarily long.
Although Evan had long been accustomed to it, the desire in his heart to own a legendary warship of his own had grown.
Ignore the harsh sea conditions and turn the entire sea into your own backyard. Easily hunt the terrifying sea monsters in the eyes of others, go to any place you want to go at any time, roam freely on the boundless sea, and nothing can restrain your steps!
There shouldn't be a captain in this world who doesn't aspire to have a legendary warship of his own, right?!
"Okay, I got it. Milan nodded, and went to the helmsman and the cable chief with Aven's orders.
The time slowly came to six o'clock in the morning.
According to the normal law of this season, the sun should have already risen at this time.
But now it was still pitch black in sight, and you didn't need to look up to see that dark clouds were pressing down low at the end of the sea and sky. The seabirds patrolling the periphery seemed to be oppressed by the dark clouds, and slowly descended to the surface of the sea, hovering close to the "Conch".
Ever since the owl bass was the "base station", the seabirds have always been linked to it, and the bass has been doing an excellent job. Unexpectedly, after bass was hypnotized this time, the reconnaissance network was directly paralyzed.
However, Evan didn't have time to pay attention to this matter for the time being, because the situation at sea was getting worse and worse.
The air was extremely dreary, and the dark sea was a little frighteningly calm, without a single breeze or ripple. There are signs that a storm of unprecedented scale is coming!
And the "Conch" has no way to hide this time, and there is no way to escape.
At least within a radius of 20 nautical miles, there is not even an anchorage or safe haven that can be evaded, and even if there is, the "Conch" will not be able to catch up with the temporarily lost wind.
Even if the "Ship Statue Monsoon Goddess" wants to be effective, it needs two prerequisites: a tailwind or a headwind, and if there is no wind at all, it is an ordinary piece of wood.
"All obey orders, perform their duties, and prepare for the storm!"
