Chapter 1076: Strange Island
Although I haven't seen the complete world map, according to the official map of Dosu that is now released, the continent is in the northern hemisphere, including the Sademir region, because the further north you go, the colder it gets, the more you pass through the dwarven Comoria is the endless snowfield, and the southernmost point of the continent is the coastline where Canso City is located.
Combined with the map that the Sea Clan Ambassador had shown An, he continued to sail southeast from Kanso City to reach the Silent Sea where the Sea Clan City Ruins were the destination.
It stands to reason that from the northern hemisphere to the south, the closer to the equator, the hotter it should be, and there should be no ice on the windows.
This is a ship, and an airplane is at this level.
The ghost knows why the temperature around him plummeted, and An Yizhi decided to ask the captain to ask, after all, he was an old driver.
He left the cabin and walked onto the deck.
At this time, the sun has just risen from the eastern sea level, and it is indeed as if it has come out of the sea.
But the sun didn't seem to bring much heat, and it was still very cold, and on the deck he could even see the ice floes floating past the sides of the ship from time to time, crystal clear in the sunlight.
Take a deep breath, it's called a crystal bright and cool heart.
The surrounding temperature is almost minus ten degrees Celsius, and only such a low ambient temperature will make the heat preservation function of the Mithril robe slightly ineffective.
The captain was also on deck, and he was wrapped like a bear at this time, and if it weren't for the big red nose that leaked out of the fur hood, it was particularly conspicuous, and An Yizhi would have almost not recognized it.
Seeing An Yi pointing to the deck, the captain said happily:
"Mr. An, are your injuries better?"
He seemed to regard Yasu's move to go offline as recuperating in the cabin, but in reality it was only one night, and nearly two days had passed in the game.
This is the provincial An Yi pointed to explain, he vaguely coped with a few words and asked why the surroundings were so cold.
"I don't know exactly how it works, but it's normal for the temperature at sea to change frequently."
The captain was right, this was normal, at least they had plenty of warm clothing from the start.
"The scholars of the Mage Tower of Canso City said that it was because after being far away from the mainland, losing the protection of the mainland, the temperature at sea became so strange, some of the sea was extremely cold, and some of the sea was extremely hot, when I was young, I followed the old captain to break through, and I even saw a burning sea."
Should I say, is it really the wizarding world? The temperature is so weird......
However, the abnormal temperature is a good thing, as it means that they have completely moved away from the mainland and are approaching the territory of the Sea Tribe.
The question now is how to get back on the right course.
When An Yizhi went offline, the captain spent two days trying to get the Sea Giant back to the channel from the yaw, which was certainly not easy.
The storm had caused them to deviate so much from their course that they would have had to make a big circle to get back on course, and they didn't have to do it yet.
The captain was quite optimistic about this, and joked that if the food was finished, we could fish and use the sugar pickled on the boat to make sugar-pickled fish.
- I don't dare to think what kind of dark cuisine it is.
People who are begging for a living at sea cannot be demoralized because of this setback. As the saying goes, a healthy spirit is built on a healthy body, which is a bit biased but not unreasonable.
There is a lot of high-intensity work on board, and the temperature is fluctuating, so if you don't have an iron body, you can't go on an ocean trip.
In terms of in-game terms, although the combat effectiveness and level of these crew members are not good, all of them have super high physique attributes, and they are all durable meat shields.
An Yizhi and the captain were chatting with each other, only to hear a loud voice from the lookout:
"There is land! It's an island! ”
"In which direction?"
The captain immediately picked up the binoculars around his neck and searched for the island.
"Twenty-five degrees to the left!"
An Yizhi also exhaled the arcane eye, and the translucent magic eye quickly rose, skimming the lookout hand on the mast and looking in the direction he said.
The arcane eye has a farsightedness function, and with a slight adjustment of the visual distance, you can clearly see a snow-capped island appearing on the other side of the sea.
Said to be a small island, but it was obviously not possible to use the arcane eye to see all of it at a glance, and Ann pointed to see that one side of the Sea Giant was covered with ice and snow, and a large number of evergreen trees and dead trees dotted with ice and snow.
This is rare good news for the Sea Giant, the previous storm and sea monster attack have left the Sea Giant in tatters, and the emergency wood it carries has basically been completely used up, as long as there are trees, these sailors can use simple tools to make planks, and repair the Sea Giant, although it is still inevitable to lie in the dock, but at least this repair can greatly improve their safety.
However, the people of the Celestial Empire often say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there is good news, and naturally there is also bad news.
The bad news is that there is a layer of magic enchantment hanging over that island, and the people who set up the enchantment are of a very high level, and with An Yizhi's secret eyes, he can only see the general extent of the magic enchantment, and there is no way to talk about what kind of enchantment it is.
If you have to do with magic, ask Hela.
An Yizhi opened the dimensional pocket and asked her to fly to the sky to check, and not long after Hela came back with a fine piece of ice ballast and said:
"It's a double barrier of concealment and blockade, and the means of arranging it are not clever, but the arranger uses a huge amount of magic power, and the effect of this enchantment is surprisingly good with several times the energy consumption."
It's more like a joke in the aviation industry.
- Powerful bricks fly.
"Mages who usually set up enchantments on isolated islands are generally tired of the disturbances of mortals and go to this kind of place to hide quietly, I don't recommend going to that island, because this kind of mage has a very strange temperament."
Although the technique of arranging the enchantment is not good, it means that the level of this mage is not high, but the huge magic power of the enchantment is indeed real, and the total amount of real mana of the other party will never be smaller than that of An Yizhi.
Hearing Hela say this, the captain was also a little embarrassed, the Sea Giant was in great need of repair, and in its current state, if it encountered another storm on the way, the Sea Giant would really not survive.
And the chances of another storm are not low, the weather at sea is too fickle.
An covered one eye with one finger and controlled the arcane eye to find out the approximate range of the enchantment:
"The barrier doesn't completely cover the entire island, and from our side, the barrier should only cover the center of the island...... Captain, how much wood do you need? ”
"About twenty logs, if the island is too dangerous, we can find a way to bring the logs onto the ship and process them as we sail and repair the boat."
"On the north side of the island is a large woodland of evergreen trees and dead trees, which is just out of the area of the barrier."
Not only is there a large number of trees, but there is also a natural deep-water harbor there instead of an ordinary beach, where boats can get close enough to avoid the danger of running aground.
The two discussed it for a moment and decided to take the plunge.
Mainly because the Sea Giant needs to be repaired too much, and Ann Yizhi will also use magic to help, collect enough wood as quickly as possible, and then re-open and hurry.
If the mage who arranged the enchantment came out with malicious intentions, it would depend on whether An Yizhi could beat him away.
The captain was extremely glad of his good fortune, and this transportation would have been more than auspicious if there was no An Yizhi.
But on the other hand, if An Yizhi hadn't been there, maybe not so many things would have happened......
The Sea Giant swerved slightly, heading towards the north side of the island.
The captain has a lot of confidence in An Yizhi, and if it weren't for the mage who estimated that he couldn't afford to raise such a dick, the captain would definitely make a request to hire An Yizhi to be stationed on the ship.
But An Yizhi himself did not have much confidence.
What happened in the Overworld is so scumbersome that there is no law or reason at all.
If you encounter a similar situation in the dungeon, An Yizhi will not worry at all, but will be particularly active in exploring the island, hoping that the other party will jump out with malice, you must know that the mage has a lot of good things on his body, a veritable treasure trove.
And there will be no enemies in the dungeon that the player can't defeat at all, which is equivalent to a reward for An Yizhi.
But the Overworld is different.
To put it more exaggeratedly, even if you don't recruit anyone and don't mess with anyone, just walking outside the city, you may encounter a passing dragon and spray you with dragon breath......
Therefore, An Yizhi couldn't tell how high the level of the mages who might live on the island was, considering that he could live in seclusion overseas, and the magic power was very huge, the level of such a mage should be more than 50.
If it starts, even An Yizhi will feel tricky, because high-level mages have too many means in their hands, and they must be careful and careful, in case they encounter a situation where they really can't do it, they can only try whether the name of Jaskode or Nikolai is good or not.
With some apprehension, the Sea Giant approached the island.
Now with the naked eye, it is easy to see a large amount of ice floes floating around the island and the forest that has the wood they need.
The ship sailed into a natural deep-water port, but it was still a little far from land.
The captain ordered all the dinghy to be put down, and personally took a dozen people and An Yizhi to the island to collect the required wood.
The wood that can be used to repair the ship is not any wood, and An Yizhi doesn't know anything about this. But the captain knew that after everyone had rowed ashore, the captain and the sailors quickly selected suitable timber.
Of course, cutting down trees was too time-consuming, so Ann summoned Graeme with a finger and uprooted the selected trees and piled them aside as if they were pulling onions.
With Graeme's help and the large number of trees in the woods, it took about twenty minutes to find all the trees.
Now the sailors are using hand axes to quickly chop off the unwanted branches, and then transport them back to the ship one by one, waiting for further finishing on board.
So far, the mages who may be on the island have not appeared, which is a good thing for everyone.
But when Graeme put a sharpened log on the dinghy to take it away in batches, a peculiar roar caught everyone's attention.
- Ang!!
It's a dragon's roar......
