Chapter 15 Sailing

"Don't you know?" Seeing Xiao Ya's reaction, Sono was also a little surprised, but he still explained, "There was a Baroque studio in the sea area at the entrance of this magnetic track before, which turned out to be organized by one of the Seven Martial Seas' 'Sand Crocodile' Klockdahl, and there were specially people who ambushed the pirates who had just entered the Great Passage at the entrance, and sometimes he would even take action in person, except for some lucky pirates like us, they couldn't escape, so the number of pirates who could reach here was not too many." ”

"But," Sono said this, looking a little annoyed, "after we finally passed there, the studio was wiped out, and even the president Klockdahl was arrested by the navy, and as a result, the new pirates no longer had any obstacles, and rushed over!" It's really unlucky, it's over just after we passed, and all the effort has been wasted, and nothing has been gained......"

The answer of "......" made Xiao Ya speechless for a while, I didn't expect that the baroque studio would still have this effect, sand crocodile, you are really hard!

But then Sono said that although he would not leave this sea area, Xiao Ya did not have to worry, on the one hand, the scope represented by "this sea area" is very large, and there are enough places to choose from, on the other hand, because the Snow Fox Pirates have not been supplied on Gaya Island, so they themselves have to find a place to land as soon as possible, "The closest island from here and convenient for us to dock on is Hannabal, how about getting there?" ”

"Oh," Xiao Ya nodded, anyway, he didn't know anything about this navigation......

Soon, the Snow Fox Pirates returned to the shore to search for the island, apparently, in the ruins of Magic Valley Town, they did not find anything new, and began to organize personnel to board the ship and prepare to leave the port.

It can be seen that the personnel of the Snow Fox Pirates are quite tacit, and all kinds of operations are skillful and fast, but what makes Xiao Ya feel strange is that Sono has not done anything from beginning to end, just accompanied him on the deck and watched, but another man has been shouting loudly and giving various orders.

"He's our navigator," seemed to see Xiao Ya's confusion, and Sono introduced, "Capri. Gasiqi, he is in charge of the navigation of this ship, he is very good, after entering the great channel, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have been doomed a long time ago, the weather in this hellish place is really terrible! ”

In this regard, Xiao Ya also had a relative, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, and at the same time looked at that Jia Siqi more seriously, like Sono, this guy is also a tall and strong man, but he is relatively thin, and he looks older, because the chestnut hair is mixed with a little gray.

"Alright, bow spinnaker! Pull the halyard! "The mainmast and foremast are on sail! What the? Can't pull the mainmast halyard? Damn, it must be that pulley set should be oiled again, Lana, you take someone to pull the sling first, pay attention, don't overdo it, otherwise it will break! ”

"Hang the turnaround truss rope and turn the top sail 20 degrees to the left!" "Check it and tie the sail ropes!" …… Accompanied by a series of commands from Jia Siqi, Xiao Ya saw that under the busyness of a group of people, the sails on the bow and the two masts in front of the ship rose in turn, and began to flutter under the blowing of the sea breeze, is this going to sea? And it didn't ......

Then, "Is the cable secured?" All right! The dinghy begins to tow! At this moment, a few small boats full of crew members swung their oars on both sides and headed out of the harbor, each with a thick cable towed behind it, which was finally attached to the wooden stakes in the bow.

"One, two, one! Come on! "One-two-one!" Amid the slogans of the crew, a dozen oars on both sides of the dinghy rowed neatly, stirring up rows of waves and tightening the originally loose cables, but even so, it took another half a day for the huge sailboat to finally begin to move slowly.

Oh, isn't this a sailboat? Why don't you raise the sails and don't move, you still have to be rowed! And it's in a dinghy! For a while, Xiao Ya felt that she really didn't know what to say, but looking at Sono's appearance, this seemed to be a very ordinary thing.

And so, after a while, Gasqi walked from the side of the boat to the bow, and while giving the command to turn the rudder, he rang a brass bell in the bow of the boat, and made a crisp sound, and when the bell was heard, the crew who were rowing hard in the dinghy slowed down, loosened the cables, and then sailed to the sides of the sailboat, and began to return to the ship.

"Well, this, don't delay now?" Xiao Ya, who was confused around her, couldn't help but asked.

"It seems that there is no need," replied Sono, "our dear 'Aleplix' is nimble, and the rudder can be used with a little speed, and Gaschi is very skilled in judging the wind and speed, and now he can set sail to sea." ”

Before Xiao Ya could figure out what the relationship between speed and rudder was, the crew members who rowed the boat before had just finished boarding the boat, and they were busy again under the command of Jia Siqi, "The mainmast and mainsail are ready!" "Collect the mainsail footline and open the mainsail!" Watch the speed, not too fast!"" Be consistent on both sides! "The mainsail turns 20 degrees to the left!!" "Foremast mainsail ready ......"

Soon, with Gasiqi's password and the busyness of the crew, the three masts in the front, main and rear of the sailboat, as well as the tilted upper mast at the bow, these terms were all learned by Xiao Ya just by combining Gasiqi's instructions and the actions of the crew, and they were all hung with large and small sails, and they really sailed with the wind.

But even at this time, Gashi Qi still didn't stop, and from time to time he had to give orders, what "the sail turned 5 degrees to the left", "the main sail is half a sail", and with each of his orders, the crew had to make a series of reactions, so far, it also made Xiao Ya understand how wise it was to decide to take a boat instead of robbing it, otherwise, if the navigator was injured by mistake, who would drive this galleon? Just a bunch of masts, sails, slings, halyards, turns, whisks, sail ropes, sail ropes, mainsails, upper sails, top sails, flying sails, spinnakers, such a large number of messy terms are already dizzy, not to mention the command and corresponding actions of turning sails, turning rudders, facing the wind, and downwind......

And, what is this place? Great Passage! It is most famous for its bad weather and unpredictable, so the sailboat must constantly adjust the state and direction of the sail with the wind and direction, raising the sail for a while, lowering the sail for a while, watching the busy work of those crew members climbing up and down the mast, Xiao Yadu feels that it is really tossing to death, this sailing away is really not something that ordinary people can do.

PS: Happy New Year!
