Chapter 196: Ghost Sea (Happy New Year!) )
Ever since he went out to sea, Romon had always been in the best spirits, as if he had infinite potential, and he had been standing at the bow of the ship for four or five hours. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The parchment roll in Info's hand was studied over and over again, for fear that his mistake would cause the entire fleet to lose its way.
"Romon, what are you looking at?"
Yi Xiaoge walked up to Luo Meng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be too stressed, I think your father will learn about our actions, and his old man will protect us in heaven!" ”
Luo Meng turned around and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't have a problem, just now I was just judging our specific location." According to my father's markings on the parchment roll, our expedition fleet is approaching a sea known as the Sea of Ghosts! ”
"Sea of ghosts?" Yi Xiaoge was a little puzzled, he had never heard of such a sea area on the sea.
"Yes, Onikai! Legend has it that the Ghost Sea is a mysterious and dangerous sea of death, and all ships and people who enter this sea area will be deprived of their lives by the devil in it, and the undead will never be able to leave, and over time they will become ghost ships and take revenge on passing ships! My father used to pass through here in the past, but although the legendary devil was not seen, the huge waves and storms comparable to the devil caused his fleet heavy losses."
"So mysterious?"
Yi Xiaoge looked up at the sky after listening, the blue sky was cloudless, and there was no sign of heavy rain at all, he turned around and said, "Okay Luo Meng, don't pay too much attention to your father's guidance, maybe he just happened to encounter a heavy rainstorm." ”
Yi Xiaoge left after speaking, with the Heavenly Compass there, the chance of him encountering a rainstorm will be much smaller.
Bang!
A thunderclap in the middle of the night shook the sleeping Yi Xiaoge from the bed, only to see that the canvas outside the captain's room was constantly illuminated by the miserable white light. He pulled open the door and ran out, his manic wind blowing a huge courage class swaying from side to side.
"What's going on? How could there be such a strong wind all of a sudden! ”
Yi Xiaoge took the collar and covered his face and shouted loudly, and the loud deputy captain hurriedly roared: "Your Majesty, we have encountered a storm!" ”
"What about Romon? Where is he! ”
Waves crashed against the hull of the ship, and the four Courage-class expedition ships struggled with all their might. Romon stumbled out of the darkness with a sheepskin roll in his hand.
"Your Majesty! Sure enough, we arrived at the sea of ghosts again! ”
Romon shouted excitedly and nervously, apparently the storm proved that they had not deviated from course and were following in the footsteps of Ferdinand, Romon's father, the explorer, on their way to the east.
"Uh...... It's time for you to wake up, Romong! We're about to turn into soup chickens! ”
Yi Xiaoge said angrily, and after he finished speaking, he jumped on the deck to check the situation of the other three auxiliary ships. The Courage class is worthy of the royal family's high value of the ship, itself is tightly structured, strong impact resistance, and Deanhall's modification is even more powerful. Despite the strong wind and waves, the hull structure was not damaged and deformed, and the balance made the ship still stubbornly float on the sea.
After a while, the wind and waves intensified, and the large raindrops in the sky fell and hit the deck with a dull sound.
"Sure enough, it's stormy! Where there's wind, there's rain! ”
"Your Majesty, look!"
Yi Xiaoge hugged the doorpost of the captain's room tightly, and suddenly heard someone shouting, and saw a big white ship suddenly appear on the sea before the thunder and lightning.
"It's a ghost ship!" Yi Xiaoge and Luo Meng shouted in unison.
As early as before, when he and Luo Meng encountered the Japanese fleet at sea, they had learned the power of the ghost ship, and at that time, it was only the ghost ship of the Galen class that almost made Yi Xiaoge fall behind, and now this ship type that is obviously equivalent to the Anji frigate is probably difficult to deal with!
"It's not going to be easy! Our courage level is basically equal to no aggression, how to deal with it? Romon was a little anxious.
"Wait and see! Although we can't win, we rely on the high-speed performance of courage to escape, in this extreme weather, the other party's ship is even more difficult than us! ”
Yi Xiaoge felt a little dizzy in his head, this kind of big wind and waves was the first time Yi Xiaoge encountered it, and seasickness was normal. He bracing his spirit, he observed the ghost ship's every move, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, as if he felt that the sea near the ghost ship was very calm, as if it was controlled by an invisible aura.
At this moment, the ghost ship suddenly ghostly turned its bow and sailed in the opposite direction, and Romon was surprised: "It left?" ”
"Quick! Keep up! ”
"What? Keep up? ”
Luo Meng was a little surprised when he heard Yi Xiaoge's order: "Your Majesty, are you sure you are not joking?" We're lucky that the ghost ship didn't attack us, so why did we still send it to our door? ”
Yi Xiaoge shook his head and said, "I can't tell you why, but my intuition tells me that this ghost ship seems to be pointing us out a way out." Even if we don't follow, with this weather, maybe our fleet will be lost! And have you noticed? Aren't you curious about the unusually calm surroundings of that ghost ship? ”
"Well, Your Majesty, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, let's just use dead horses as live horse doctors!"
After saying that, Romon immediately gave an order to the standard-bearer, asking the three auxiliary ships to move closer to the flagship with all their might. The navigator and sailor who came out this time were outstanding talents carefully selected by Yi Xiaoge from the Blood Eagle Pirate Regiment and the Three Island Guardian Forces, with rich experience and top rank. Their role in this extreme weather was quickly revealed, and soon the four ships formed a difficult sailing sequence and headed in the direction of the ghost ship's departure.
The wind and rain grew stronger, thunder and lightning continued to resound in everyone's ears, and a miserable white lightning struck the sea and rose a silvery white mist. Yi Xiaoge didn't know how long it had been, but he saw the ghost ship that had been not far away suddenly disappearing from view. The surrounding wind and waves suddenly stopped, the thunder and lightning clouds suddenly disappeared, and the distant horizon gradually glowed red, and it turned out that the dawn had passed and the sun was rising. Everyone looked at the strange scene in a daze, if it weren't for the fact that the deck was still wet, Yi Xiaoge still felt dizzy, and everyone was soaked, I am afraid that they would have to wonder if Fang Cai was dreaming.
"It's an incredible encounter, I'm afraid no one will believe it......" Romon said as he looked at the red light in the distance.
"There are islands ahead!"
"There are a lot of islands in front !!"
Before everyone came to their senses, they were attracted by the shouts of the lookout, Yi Xiaoge and Luo Meng followed the lookout's line of sight, and saw that they saw one after another small islands of different sizes in two nautical miles on the side of the fleet. These small islands are as large as one square kilometer and as small as a few hundred meters, and together they form an archipelago that stretches for more than a dozen nautical miles.
PS: I haven't seen you for half a month, I've been missing you for a long time, here I wish you a happy New Year and all the best! Before, because of his busy work during the Chinese New Year, he couldn't spare time to code words, which caused Yi Xiaoer to stop for so long, and he was really upset. Originally, I planned to start writing after my schedule stabilized in mid-February, but I saw that many people in the comments said that Yi Xiaoer had broken off and was a eunuch. Jiangnan is really anxious, so I changed it to start updating today, not much nonsense, take all the baby's recommended tickets and monthly passes!!
