189 - Drifting at sea

The ship, the ship.

The rudder, still the rudder.

It's just that on the vast sea, there is only such a ship, such a rudder.

"Tss Twitter! "A monkey crouched in the shadows next to the ship's room, tail wagging behind him, scratching his head to block out the dazzling sunlight, and rubbing into the shade.

On the opposite side of it, two monkeys were clawing at each other's lice in the sun.

The direct sunlight did not penetrate their fur, but instead accumulated heat on the fluff, illuminating them lazily.

The ship had been adrift at sea for many days, and for the last seven or eight days without a single wind.

"Whew~" A cry came, and the monkey quickly stood up from the ground and ran in the direction from which the sound came.

The monkeys gathered in front of Ollie and Pease.

"Whew~!" Ollie shouted, and although the monkeys were in a lot of turmoil, they quickly lined up and looked very skilled.

Then, one by one, they passed in front of Pease, and beside him, they picked up small planks one by one.

A monkey stood in front of a large bucket and as the monkeys passed by, the vegetable chowder in the bucket was loaded onto the small wooden board that the monkeys were holding.

"'Big fox, how long are we going to go...... It's really hot. Pease was not wearing a shirt and had a huge scar on his chest in front of his heart, and in the sunlight there were some pale blue glittering debris. 'Ah~ By the way, I'm going to see how Bo Ress and my brother are doing. ’”

"Whew! ~" Ollie shouted at Pease, who turned away, and then his eyes flashed, and he jumped up from the ground and kicked the monkey who was in charge of serving the food but kept stealing it.

When the light is right! The scene was in chaos.

Pease didn't run back...... It already looks familiar.

……

Footsteps were heard from the side, and Hiero stepped out of the cabin carrying a bottle...... The door is jammed.

"Two idiots!" One eye looked out through the crack in the door and saw that the two monkeys, who were as strong as orangutans, were sleeping in front of the door with a plank.

A wine bottle sticks out, dangdang! Smashed on the heads of two monkeys.

The two monkeys woke up and quickly stood up and opened the door.

Hiero walked out of it with a wine bottle, "Hiccup~" and looked at the two monkeys with slanted eyes, "Fool...... Hiccup~"

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked the two monkeys in the ass hard. "Stay away from the door!"

Hierro was irritated, he took a sip, dipped a little wine from his fingers, and reached forward.

"Hmmm......"

Then he withdrew his finger and tried to wipe it off his clothes, but his finger paused, hesitated, and then sucked the wine from his finger into his mouth.

"Phew~"

Hierro took another sip, then craned his neck, took a sip of wine, looked in the direction behind him, shook his head, and came to the rudder.

He placed the bottle in the bucket next to him and pulled out a scroll from one side.

The sunlight glistened on the reels, and it was very dazzling.

"......" Hierro pursed his lips and glanced back with slanted eyes.

The two monkeys understood, and hurriedly took the plank in their hands and came to Hierro's side, blocking the sunlight and forming an awning.

"There is no wind ......" There was a shadow, and the scroll in front of Hierro was no longer dazzling.

Hierro let the scroll shine a little light, then turned it twice...... "cut the ......" and rolled the scroll into the small wooden barrel.

Hierro narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, and everything in his vision was seawater, seawater...... Or seawater.

There are no waves on the water, only the faint reflection of the daylight on the water.

Fragmented and annoying.

There wasn't even a seabird in the sky.

Turning the rudder slightly, he continued north, but Hierro didn't know where to go.

There were no fixed currents, no marked maps, and Hierro didn't know anything other than knowing what direction they were sailing.

But always go in one direction, and you should be able to see the land...... Hierro thought so, but he had been thinking about it for days.

And the condition of the people on board is getting worse and worse.

That little girl...... Needless to say, Sarah, the ship's ship's ship.

Hierro hadn't seen her since she came out of that place.

Weel was still unconscious, showing no signs of waking up, and he didn't know when he would wake up.

Boreth and Pease are taking care of Wiel, but in recent days, even Boreth has started to have a bad reaction.

Boreth also became weaker and weaker.

Thankfully, nothing happened to Pease and Ollie.

Originally, Hierro thought that they would pass through the fog, leave the whirlpool and the archipelago behind the ship, and then have a process all the way away from the whirlpool.

But no, they passed through a place of unknown origin, like a big black hole, and Hierro even thought they had fallen into it.

After all, at that time, only Hierro, who was at the helm, saw the triangular black hole in front of the water.

But after a moment of trance, Hierro found that they had reached a calm sea, just as it was now, but the sun was not so blazing, and there was some light rain.

Hiero ran to the back of the ship first, because the position that Sara had summoned the rudder to give Hiero no way to see what was going on behind the ship.

But the fog and vortex he imagined did not appear.

In that moment, Hierro understood that they had been teleported into a strange sea, and this strange sea had no place to locate themselves.

They can only 'discredit the way forward', and the consequence of this is that a boatload of people and monkeys will be trapped by the vast sea around them.

Hierro only knew that the ship under his feet was going in a general direction, but where did it go? He didn't know anything about it.

And because of Sarah's coma, all the sails had to be retracted manually.

The faint path under the ship that had been guiding the glow was gone.

The original chart that Boris had given himself had also disappeared after a few days.

No matter how much Hiero fiddled, there was no way to get those handwriting and images to reappear.

It was at the moment when the images and words disappeared from the scroll that Boris also developed a feeling of weakness as if he could not breathe.

According to herself, this is because they came to a place of a magical vacuum. And Boris's reaction is like a person who is accustomed to living at a low altitude and suddenly comes to the plateau, fatigue and weakness follow.

Thin mana and thin oxygen are not the same, it affects a lot of things.

Naturally, there is no way for the items maintained by magic to take effect, and the magic in Boreth's body will probably be dissipated if she does not try her best to restrain it, not to mention that she has just experienced a big battle, although she did not attack the Siren like Weir, but she raised the barrier, raised the sails with her magic, supported Weir to release her magic, and finally protected the ship.

It can be said that if it weren't for Bo Ruisi's connection, it would have been impossible for the group to escape from the archipelago safely.

So Bo Ruisi's physical condition was not good, and the two phases were superimposed, and Bo Ruisi fell ill.

Because of this, it becomes more difficult to release the magic, just put the sails up when it rains, and after that, the sails don't move.

It's not that I don't want to move, it's that the sails are too big, and without the power of magic, there is no way to rely on a group of monkeys.

Thinking of this, he listened to the noisy voice behind him and still didn't stop, and yelled, "Which monkey cub will make trouble again!" Just throw it into the sea! Swim to land by yourself! ”

The air suffocated, and there was stillness behind him.

"Captain Hierro, you're eating." Pease ran down the stairs behind him, carrying a wooden bowl, "and the ...... of the two of you."

"Captain Hierro, where are we now?" Pease was about to make his way to the cabin, stood in the doorway, and asked Hierro.

Hierro didn't look back, looked at the sea, and put a spoonful of food into his mouth.

"We are at sea now. That's all I know ....... ”
