Chapter Ninety-Five: Rescue Operations
"Treasure Hunter...... What are they here for? JET couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the gathered ships,
"They seem to be here for these two guys." Rebi said, pointing to the two trolls.
Mira frowned, "Are these guys here to hunt them?" They're our saviors......"
At this moment, the two trolls who were disturbed let out a deafening roar, and with this roar that seemed to shake the soul, the sea rippled in circles and white waves, violently crashing into the surrounding ships, the first of which was Leiby's small boat.
The little thing used for the observation operation could not withstand much wind and waves, and almost any medium-sized storm could make it disappear into its course entirely, let alone the violent waves set off by the sea beasts. The boat swayed left and right, jolting and swaying, and it looked like it could capsize at any moment.
Several teenagers and girls on the ship had already been thrown to the ground, and they clung to anything that could hold them in place to prevent them from falling into the angry sea, and even under the turbulence, Dolelle, who was in the worst physical condition, had begun to suffer from seasickness, his face was pale, and his stomach was tumbling in the sea.
Even though each of them is usually a skilled magician, in this environment, in the face of the attack of the entire ocean, they are not much better than ordinary people, or in other words, except for a very few strong people, humans still cannot fight against nature, even if they have the power of magic.
"Hey, are you all right?" From the big boat next to it, a mature voice came, and it sounded that the owner of the voice should be a mature male over forty years old.
"We ...... Does it look good...... Vomit! JET YELLED DESPERATELY, AND THEN BEGAN TO RETCH FROM THE JOLT.
The best one present was Renaud, who had grown up in Oftori and had adapted to the rough seas, but the boat was so thin in the current ocean that even if his balance was good, he could barely maintain his shape, while also taking care of the two girls and protecting them from the shaking deck.
Brush!
Two sharp anchors tied to the rope were shot into their small boat, directly embedded in the wooden deck, and then, two sturdy figures, slid down the rope, even though the rope itself was shaking at the same dangerous frequency as the boat, the two figures were not affected in the slightest, and descended as fast as they could.
Bite!
The moment they fell, they stuck their short knives into the deck to maintain their balance, and then approached Renault and his party with ease.
"Hold on, we're coming!" One of the two figures shouted at them, this time a young voice.
The two rescuers had a clear division of labor, one rushing straight to Dolaire, who had already fallen to the ground, and the other coming towards Renault, who was struggling to protect the two girls, and they untied another rope from themselves and threw it at each other.
"Tie it up, quick!"
JET SCRAMBLED TO WRAP THE ROPE AROUND HIMSELF AND HIS PARTNER, WHILE RENAULT ON THE OTHER SIDE CAREFULLY TIED MILA AND REBI TOGETHER WITH THE ROPE.
"Hey, what about yourself?" Mira shouted anxiously when she noticed that Renault was not wrapping the rope around her.
"This rope can't withstand the three of us, you go with those people first, I have a way to keep up, trust me!" The last three words, he almost roared, the waves on the sea became more and more rapid, and the strength became more and more amazing. When the screams of the two trolls merged into one, the new frequencies of the fusion seemed to have the power to affect the tides, and the originally peaceful sea was now a violent wind, and the waves were crashing into the nearby ships one after another, and even the big ones wrapped in steel and solidified with enhanced magic on the surface had gradually begun to lose their breath, and the shaking amplitude was getting bigger and bigger, and the little guy they were on the verge of disintegration.
The two rescuers followed them closely, and in charge of Mira's group was a young man with chestnut hair, who looked muscular, but not very tall, and obviously could not safely return four people to the ship at the same time. He was obviously aware of the problem himself, so when he saw that Renault had not tied himself to the lifeline, he gave the boy a complicated look.
"Take them away, quick!" Renault didn't have time to be polite, and shouted at the young sailor.
The young sailor, who was quite determined, seemed to be accustomed to the scene, gave Reynolds a thumbs up, nodded his head heavily, and then pulled up the lifelines from Mira and Rebi, connected them to himself, and moved with all his strength towards the rope that had come from him.
When they returned to the lasso, they immediately pulled a buckle from their harness, fastened it to the lasso, and then slammed on the mechanism on the heavy anchor, and the huge pull that instantly generated pulled him up, and led him and the two girls to the big boat at a rapid speed.
At the same time, another of his companions also completed the rescue of Dolaire and JET.
The treasure hunters were familiar with the rescue work, and as soon as the first group of rescuers withdrew, they began a second attempt, and another lasso was fired at the boat with a heavy anchor, and the ambulance officer in charge of Renault was ready to go.
But before the lasso could touch the boat, a violent wave swung it away violently into the distance, and a boat of this size could not resist the huge wave at all, and was pushed away more than ten meters away at once, and the whole capsized in the direction of the giant beast.
Burst! The heavy anchor shot into the water failed to pull the boat back to its roots.
"Renault!" The companions who had returned to the safe area screamed in amazement, as they saw that the small boat, which was not very sturdy, had finally been unable to maintain its intact form under the ravages of the wind and waves, and had been washed away. The wreckage floats on the surface of the sea, sent into the distance with the waves, like a wandering spirit in the wilderness.
"Hurry up and save him, please, go and save her!" Mira grabbed the young sailor beside her, shaking his shoulders desperately.
"No chance......," the sailor's voice was low, "he had already made his choice when he handed you over to me. ”
He pointed to the sturdy toggle that was tied to Mira and Rebi, and couldn't bear to say, "This knot has a special meaning for the voyager. It means self-sacrifice, and at that time, he chose to let you live. No one survived this storm, so ...... It's hard to accept, but I ask you to mourn. ”
"How could it be ......" Mira's body trembled, and she sat down on the deck of the big ship as if all her strength had been drained in an instant.
"No...... No...... "She can't accept it, they have experienced so many dangers, so many near-deaths, and finally found a glimmer of life, but still haven't escaped the fate of this tragedy?
"No...... That's right, I thought of it! Mira screamed nervously, then ripped the necklace from her neck with a white stone pendant and tossed it into the distance. Then she desperately mobilized the magic power in her body, as long as she got her magic back again, whether it was receiving magic or transforming into magic, she could snatch her friend back from the vast sea.
But......
There was no magic flowing, and Mira's magic seemed to be completely consumed, and even without the white stone, she still couldn't use any magic.
"For ...... Why ......" she stared at her hands, her face full of disbelief. If you can't use your magic, doesn't that mean you can't do anything? Doesn't that mean that guy is really going to disappear from his life completely?
Could it be that after losing a loved one, a sister, and a brother, will she lose her best friend again?
Just when the silver-haired girl was about to fall into despair, an exclamation suddenly sounded in her ears:
"The gods are above, look what is that?"
