"Fresh cod steak ~ poured lemon juice and fried over low heat for 7 minutes, drizzled with hot oyster sauce ......"

In the ship's galley, Nora hummed softly as she expertly turned the cod pieces in the pan with a spatula and let the heat continue to heat and collect the juice.

The sea breeze blew in through the open portholes, taking away the fumes from the kitchen. She pulled her hair to her ears with some comfort, and then turned the fire down a little so that it wouldn't be ruffled by the wind.

Suddenly, the boat sped up sharply, and the pan on the stove was thrown up by inertia, and Nora subconsciously dodged sideways, only to smash the pan on the wall behind her, splashing her with the soup inside.

Nola: ..................

Well, the soup was not a big deal, but the clothes were dirty, the fish pieces were fried, and the good mood just now was completely ruined.

She silently cleaned the floor, tossed the soiled pieces of fish into the trash, and then picked up the pan and put it away.

Nora then left the galley, and without saying a word, walked towards the captain's quarters.

In the captain's room, Peggy was almost crying with fear. She kept flipping through the manual, looking here and there on the dashboard, and she looked like she wanted to try it but was afraid of making things worse.

"Peggy?" Nola's voice rang out from behind.

"Nola!" Like a savior, Peggy hurriedly pulled her over and explained helplessly, "I just ...... The speed gear was pushed, and then the boat suddenly accelerated...... I, I didn't do anything! ”

"I'll see." Nora looked carefully at the power dial, "That's right, the power is only 1st gear." But why did the ship move so fast......"

"What are you doing?" Sheila's voice rang out outside the door.

When the two looked back, they saw Sheila standing outside the captain's room with an unhappy face, her hair also wet...... Thinking of what happened to the pan fish pieces in the kitchen, and thinking that she seemed to have seen Sheila sitting in the lounge area reading a book with a cup of black tea in her hand, Nora seemed to have guessed something.

Well, take pity on each other, and go back to the furnace fire island to wash later.

"It's not a matter of driving." Nora stared out the porthole at the backward sea, "There must be some external force pushing the ship forward." ”

"External forces?" Sheila was slightly stunned, then opened the porthole and peeked out.

As soon as the porthole was opened, the sound of fierce waves crashing, splashing water, and some faint shouting came to her face, and Sheila listened silently for a moment.

Sidlifa, it seems, is Sidlifa's laughter.

"They're on deck." Sheila looked back and said.

When the three girls reached the deck, they saw Aske beside him and stopped, and Sidley was laughing excitedly in the wind on the side of the ship, clutching a tightrope in her hand.

One end of the steel cable was fixed to the whaling gun on the side of the ship, and the other end was deep into the sea, and a huge figure was diving desperately below, dragging the whole ship through the straight steel cable, as if it were driving a motorboat at full speed.

"That's ......" Nora was slightly stunned, "whales?" ”

"That's right." Sidlifa stopped laughing and turned to explain to the crowd, "When it's exhausted and bled out, we'll have whale meat to eat tonight!" ”

Looking at the scarlet that had faded on the surface of the sea, and sensing the painful, fearful and helpless emotions of the giant beast in the sea, Nora was a little unbearable, and persuaded Sidlifa to say:

"It's a bit pitiful, so let's just let it go, and we're not short of food anyway."

"Why?" Sidlifa was immediately a little unhappy, "The prey that has fallen into the trap must not be let go casually!" Otherwise, it will come back and get revenge! ”

Get you back? Nora was a little angry and a little amused when she heard this: "You hurt it like this, and it will come back to take revenge on you?" I don't believe it. ”

"Nola, if someone stabs me with a sword and doesn't kill me, I will definitely take revenge!" Sidley Law is rightfully authentic.

Nola: ..................

Well, with Hidlifa's character, that's true, but whales are just unintelligent animals, where can they hold grudges like humans?

Seeing that she couldn't move Sidlifa, Nora turned her attention to Asker next to her for help.

Asker: ???

So don't get me into the argument between you!

Of course, such an idea is actually a bit crumbling, because the leader is responsible for adjusting the contradictions between his subordinates, so he didn't complain about it.

But your contradiction is too simple and crude.

Asker himself is neither an animal protectionist nor a whaling enthusiast. For him, whales are probably just a food source, and it doesn't matter if they can be killed or not.

It's just that in this situation, stopping the whaling will offend Sidlifa, and if you don't stop it, you will offend Nora, which makes him not know how to choose for a while.

If it's just a whale, I'm afraid that the two of them will understand it as their favorability ranking in their hearts. For example, when she chose Sidlifa, Nora felt that she was being despised and that it was even more troublesome...... Thinking of this, Asker had a headache.

Suddenly, a spear of condensed light shot from the air behind, cutting the taut steel cable, and even the ship that was already speeding down into the sea with it, smashing up a huge amount of monstrous waves.

"Eleanor!" Sidlifa turned angrily and shouted. You actually let my prey go!

"You can see the front clearly." Eleanor jumped off the bridge and landed firmly on deck.

When they heard this, they looked forward. As the seriously injured giant whale rushed away, the surrounding "curtain wall" composed of splashes of water also collapsed, and everyone saw that there seemed to be an island not far ahead.

If the whale continues to swim in this direction, there is a high probability that the entire ship will be stranded on the island...... Stranding is actually not terrible, the terrible thing is to hit some reef and knock the boat out, then everyone can only build a raft and swim back to the mainland.

"Ah, this ......," Sidlifa also choked up, she had never encountered such a "strong" whale, and would rather risk running aground herself than go to hell with the whaler ship that assassinated it.

Well done! Asker silently gave Eleanor a thumbs up...... In my heart, of course.

"It should be the Azores over there." Sheila looked into the distance, estimated the ship's itinerary slightly, and said, "It's also the westernmost frontier of the civilized world." ”

"Further west, the endless Atlantic Ocean, about 2,000 kilometers into the brink of a storm. As for our destination, according to the memory of the deceased, it was probably more than 3,000 kilometers from the mainland. ”

Everyone was speechless. From Constantinople to Lusitania, the westernmost part of the mainland, it is only about 3,000 kilometers, and it is really worrying and frightening to think about it now that it has to drift on the sea for so long.

"Let's resupply in the Azores now." Asker said.
