Sailing is a very unromantic thing.

Especially when the whole ship needs you to drive it alone.

Asker doesn't remember the first time Nora has complained. Of course, he didn't regret his decision to drive the synths off the ship, after all, they were the eyes and ears of the Holy See, and God knows if the Holy See had set any pending orders in their program to "crack immediately when you see Heavenly Mountain".

drove out the synths, and then the whole team was the only one in the group, Nola, who had taken a course as a military nun and could drive vehicles such as cars and ships, so the matter of driving the ship was left to Nola.

Of course, it refers to a series of matters around the entire ship's anchoring, starting, and steering, which were originally the division of labor among the synth sailors on the ship, but now they are all piled up on Nola, so it's no wonder she's dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Peggy has also shown interest in boating. As early as two years ago, when everyone left Constantinople, it was Nora who taught her to drive.

Therefore, Nora also took the ship's "Emergency Manual for Manual Boat Operation in the Special Period of the Demon Tide" to explain it to Peggy word by word.

“…… You see, like this, the ship will slowly turn around! ”

"It's so slow!" Peggy was disgusted. If you don't look closely at the outside world, it's hard to even see that the ship is turning at this time.

"That's how ships are." Nora stood up and looked at the sky outside the porthole, "It's almost evening, I'm going to make you dinner." ”

Thanks to the existence of the Fire Island, supplies and nothing are a problem at all. However, Nora said she wanted to try the ship's galley, so she brought the ingredients to cook on board.

In other words, a ship full of synths, why does it have a kitchen?

After shifting the ship's speed to the slowest gear, Nora went back to the Fire Isle to fetch the ingredients, while Peggy continued to study the various dials of the captain's room, and compared the past with the manual.

Ask, bored with his stay, left the captain's room and went to the deck. By this time the ship had sailed out of the Strait of Gibraltar, out of the confines of the dark sky, and the sun was shining brightly at 4 p.m., illuminating the surging ocean with bits of gold and scales, like pieces of precious stones on blue satin.

Eleanor stayed on the bridge at the top of the tower, observing the surrounding seas, while the rest of the group stayed on Hearthfire Island or wandered around the ship, not knowing who was where.

After a few minutes of watching the sea boredly on the deck, Asker heard Sidlifa's voice behind him.

"Ah, Captain~ Are you ready to fish with me?"

"Fishing?" Aske was puzzled.

"That's right." Sidlifa showed a "you still remember" expression and said, "Didn't I say that I would take you out to sea to fish in the arena of Constantinople?" ”

Asker: ???

If he had Sherlock Holmes's ability to sort and store his memories into a book, then he would have to turn to chapter 36 of the first volume and recall that Sidlifa had indeed said something similar to him.

However, he is only a professional player, not a detective, so he can only rack his brains to recall "Is there really such a thing", and then confirm that he really can't remember, so he can only pretend to "Of course, I remember that there is such a thing", and nodded calmly to Sidlifa.

Sidlifa smiled happily and picked up the huge device on the deck next to her.

"It's ......," Asker bewildered.

"Whaling guns." Sidlifa replied.

"Why is there this thing on the ship?" Asker was speechless. He probably wouldn't be surprised if someone told him the next second that there was a nuclear bomb on board.

"I don't know." Sidlifa said, "I disassembled it from the stern. This thing is steel spring driven, and as soon as I unscrew this trigger, the whale fork will shoot out with a whoosh......"

Seeing that she was pointing at herself and making a gesture to unscrew the trigger, Aske hurriedly rolled on the spot, first dodging the aiming range of the whaling rifle, and then got up and shouted:

"Don't point it at people!"

"Hey, don't you think I'm going to accidentally unscrew the trigger!" Sidlifa shouted a little aggrieved, "Of course not! I'm just showing you where the trigger is. ”

"Then you can't point such a dangerous weapon at someone!" Asker tapped her on the head.

If it was Mia, she would immediately hold her head and burst into tears at this time, but Sidlifa was not an underage girl after all, so she just sighed, rubbed her head and continued:

"Asker, you're already a demigod, why are you still so cowardly......"

It's nothing to do with being timid, right? Asker sighed, looked at the sea, and said:

"There don't seem to be any whales around here for you to hunt."

"No, there is." Sidlifa immediately pointed ahead excitedly and said, "See? With so many schools of fish migrating, the density has far exceeded that of ordinary sea areas, indicating that there is a high probability of whales here. ”

"Why?" Asker couldn't help but ask, "What principle?" ”

"Experience." Sidlifa patted her chest.

If ranked by chest volume, Medea is the first in the team, and it is difficult to say who will win or lose Sidlifa or Eleanor, so Aske quickly withdrew his gaze, trying not to pay attention to the boring shaking, and said casually:

"Well, we can make a bet."

"Good!" Hidlifa immediately said, "The loser must satisfy the winner!" ”

Asker: ???

Wait, I'm just saying it casually, why did it suddenly become a "request"? Isn't it usually a joke? And how did you promise so quickly, it's not like your character at all!

"See!" Before he could react, Sidlifa was already pointing ahead and saying, "There it is!" ”

Asker hurriedly followed her gaze, but saw only a small bunch of water spraying on the surface of the sea, and nothing else.

However, Sidlifa had already put his foot on the side of the ship, and with his hands he fixed the bottom of the whaling rifle to the railing, and then adjusted the angle of fire slightly, and then dropped the trigger with a loud roar:

"Whales! Don't run! ”

The steel crosswhale fork with the steel cable ejected out in an instant, pulling out a sharp arc and shooting into the sea.

A moment later, a huge roar rang out from under the sea.

In the captain's room, Peggy is looking at the dashboard, buttons, and handles one by one against the "Emergency Manual for Manual Boat Operation during the Special Period of the Magic Tide".

After confirming that it was correct, she carefully pushed the speed adjustment handle forward a notch, which the manual said would speed up one gear......

Immediately afterwards, the boat suddenly rushed forward violently, and even Peggy was thrown backwards by the huge inertia, but fortunately, she was known for her agility, and she stabilized her body with just a turn + kicking the wall.

Peggy: ???

Feeling the violent tremor as the ship accelerated, Peggy's face turned white all of a sudden.

Oops, woe!
