Chapter 478: Storm and Fog (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
"I said, where are you going to take us? You're going to give a response, huh? Solam looked at the statue in front of him with a gloomy expression, hoping that it would give some reaction.
But as before, it was doomed to be in vain, the statue was still the same bird, there was no movement at all, and the light on the statue was still pointing in one direction. In the end, Soram could only shake his head in frustration, stood up, and looked out of the boat.
I saw that the whole ship was plunged into a sea of mist, and this fog was so thick that it was white from a distance of fifty meters.
The sky is also obscured by fog, and you can't see the sky at all, and you can't even use the sun to locate the south, south, west, and northwest, let alone use the stars to locate it.
Speaking of which, we have to turn the time back to the day when we stopped chasing the pirates, and said that Solam and the others couldn't catch up with the pirates, so they planned to return to the route and continue to Astercara.
But he didn't expect that less than half an hour after returning home, Solam was in trouble.
Big storm! Super Huge Storm! And the storm came without warning. Before they could put away their sails, a storm appeared, and in just an instant, three of Princess Lilith's four masts were blown off.
The last mast left behind was also lucky not to break, because the storm blew off the rope that connected the sails! That's why I was spared.
The storm was so big that Solam's ship couldn't stand it not long after the storm began, and many places began to deform and break, and finally the hull began to flood.
But just when Soram felt that his group of people must be finished this time, Soram suddenly found that in his dimensional bag, the statue of the dark girl Elise Cui, began to move, but before Soram could react, it actually ran out of the dimensional bag automatically and landed on the boat!
Then, a burst of blue light burst from the statue, enveloping the entire ship, and in this burst of light, the ship was protected, and Solam and the others began to lose control of the ship.
They could only watch as the ship rode the wind and waves in a direction that no one knew about without anyone maneuvering it! In fact, Solam didn't have time to care about this, because although the ship was protected.
But they were not protected, and a group of people were still tortured by the storm and wanted to die! Many people are thrown around by the huge inertia, and there is no room to think about anything else. Even the sailors, the ship was too jolty in the storm.
However, although it was painful, it was saved in a bad way, and no one lost their lives, which is already a great blessing in misfortune.
Three days later, the ship finally passed through the storm, and by that time everyone was dying, after all, in that case, eating and drinking were torment, because what was eaten would not be long before it would be tossed and vomited.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another trouble came their way.
They are completely lost! What's even more unfortunate is that they inexplicably entered a sea of mist, and it was difficult to even divide the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
And the one who started it all was the statue, and it was the one who brought Solam and them here.
So a group of people, while studying what was going on with this statue, hurried to repair the ship.
It's easy to repair the ship, there is a spell to help, the problem is not big, the broken place, you can use the "repair technique" to get it, the leaky place, it is not a problem, drain the water, and then under the repair, you can also make a living.
It's a bit troublesome that the mast that was blown off, it's not that it can't be repaired, but the broken mast doesn't know where it was blown to for a long time, and there is no material to repair it. Soram can't turn into a mast out of thin air. And so the Princess Lilith, a good four-masted sailing ship, was now a pillar of optimus.
As for this statue...... If Soram could find out anything, he wouldn't have spoken to a statue just now.
For now, Solam and the others can only follow the direction indicated by the statue, or they will have to go around in the fog. They didn't know exactly where the statue was directing them, but it didn't seem like they had any other choice.
But the problem now is that they have been navigating the fog for three days, and they still haven't broken through it.
Although the ship's supplies are sufficient, so that you don't have to worry about starving to death of thirst, you can't stand it even if you are always facing this endless fog.
Just when Soram was helpless about this, suddenly someone outside shouted: "Come out, we come out!" We've cut through the fog! ”
Soram immediately walked to the side of the boat, looked out, and found that, really, the fog in front of him was beginning to fade, and Soram could even see the sunlight forming rainbows through the fog!
After less than ten minutes, everyone felt suddenly enlightened! The sun, the sea, and the breeze all appeared clearly in front of them! The crowd immediately began to cheer, and even Isabella, who had always been extremely ladylike, couldn't suppress her emotions and jumped out of joy on the deck.
No way, no one can describe the dull and oppressive feeling without going through that lifeless fog. That feeling can make a good person crazy.
Now seeing the open sea and the bright sunshine, everyone suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if a thousand pounds of heavy burden had been lifted. And at this time, the statue that had been guiding the ship forward also stopped, and once again became an ordinary statue, and no longer emitted light.
And the speed of the ship slowed down at this moment, after all, before, the ships were moving by the mysterious power of the statue, and now after the light on the statue disappeared, the force that pushed the ship forward also disappeared, and the ship could only rely on the only remaining mast to pull up the sails.
Soram was also puzzled by this, could it be that the purpose of this statue had been achieved?
However, Solam and Barry don't have time to care that much, because they still face a more practical problem, which is that they still can't figure out where they are.
"Can you determine our bearings?" That's what Soram asked Barry.
"I'm not sure, if I can see the stars at night, I guess I still have some way, at least I can know where the continent is."
Now that Barry sees the sun, he can only distinguish between the south, east, west, and northwest, and as for the rest, Barry can't help it.
"Then I can only wait for the night, alas, this time I have seen it, I didn't expect the voyage to be so dangerous." Soram leaned against the side of the boat and said with a little trepidation.
Barry was suddenly blushed when Soram said this, he thought that Soram was alluding to his previous prediction of the storm, after all, when Soram asked if it could be a storm, he swore that he vetoed it, and the result? The speed of light was big, and as soon as the words fell, a super storm came out.
This is a huge stain on a veteran captain! Barry still values his own honor, so he naturally has to explain.
"This kind of layered storm is too rare, if you can encounter this situation when you go to sea, no one dares to go to sea casually, besides, the evil nature of this storm is not foreshadowed before, and it is really ...... It's the first time I've ever encountered this kind of situation when I'm growing up. Believe me and ask the people on the boat if they have ever encountered such a situation. ”
This kind of captain's job is a purely empirical job, if even this kind of thing can be judged wrong, then this captain's sign is completely stinky, and the proudest thing in Barry's life is that he is a qualified captain.
He couldn't tolerate this stain, so he had to explain it, or he wouldn't be upset himself.
Not to mention, Solam had really asked, in fact, the sailors on the ship couldn't figure out what was going on, and according to their experience, even if there was a storm in that weather, it would not have been possible to come so quickly, and they all agreed with Barry's judgment.
To prevent the sailors from fooling themselves, Solam asked the same questions to others, such as the Wiggins berserkers, and Wahid. Those sailors may also have deceived Soram because they had a good relationship with Barry in the same boat, and there was no reason for others to deceive Solam.
According to them, they still agree with Barry's previous prediction, as for what the storm is all about, there is no warning at all, and they are also confused, anyway, at sea, anything can happen, there is not so much reason to talk about, and it can only be regarded as bad luck if it encounters it.
It's not a question of whether Solamsi doesn't believe in Bali, but there are some things that must be asked, otherwise, if it is really a parallel import, it would be irresponsible to hand over such a large ship to this cargo.
Fortunately, the feedback was not bad, and most people still felt that this incident was really not Barry's fault, and this storm was too strange, and everyone felt weird, and there was no sign at all.
"Okay, I don't blame you, everyone also thinks this storm is weird, I don't doubt your ability."
But while Solam was comforting Barry, the lookout cried out on the mast, "The island has been discovered!" Three o'clock in the bow of the ship!! ”
As soon as they heard this, Solam and Barry had no heart to speak, and immediately ran to the bow of the boat and looked in that direction with their binoculars! Soram looked at it for a long time and felt that he didn't see anything, but Barry shouted happily: "It's true! Adjust your direction and head towards the island! ”
In the end, it was only after Barry's reminder that Soram saw the so-called island, and Solam didn't know how long the eyes of these people were, in Solam's telescope, the so-called island was a very small point, if you didn't care, you really couldn't see that it was an island.
"If only there was a forest on the island, we could fix the mast, or we would rely on a mast, and we don't know when we will be able to reach Asterkara."
Barry was delighted to have discovered the island, not fixing the mast was always a problem, and the speed that a mast sail could provide was simply too slow.
Soram didn't speak, but touched his chin and looked at the statue, he always felt that there was definitely a reason why the statue brought them to this place, but Soram still couldn't figure out what this statue was, or what its purpose was.
He had a hunch that their landing on the island this time would not be too peaceful!
