The next day,

A light rain began to fall in the sky

The people of the Sukhbaatar began to pull up the anchor and prepare to set sail!

Today is the day to enter the Thundering Strait, and everyone's faces are somewhat heavy

Even Gianna, who was in a fever, volunteered to run to the deck to ask for help, but looking at everyone's expressions of refusal, Beichuan also knew that this Nizi didn't know anything at all, huh! In addition to being a helmsman...

"You're still sick, go rest first! After entering the strait in a while, I'll have someone call you if you get into trouble..."

Gianna also seemed to see the subconscious meaning of everyone, and said sullenly:

"Alright! Remember to call me when you are in trouble! ”

"Of course! Great Captain Gianna! ”

Beichuan took the opportunity to appease the eldest lady a little, and then went to get busy.

"It's really time for this light rain, so the line of sight is not very clear!"

Standing on the bridge, Lancet began to look in the direction of the Thundering Canyon in the distance...

"What's wrong?"

Hearing someone behind him, Lancet hurriedly turned around, and after seeing the appearance of the person who came, he explained:

"This damn drizzle has blurred my vision! It's easy to run into things when you're boating, especially in places like this..."

Beichuan looked at the rain curtain in front of him, and his vision was indeed a little blurry, but there was nothing good to do at the moment.

"And what about after entering the Thundering Canyon? Visibility should be lower when we enter the canyon, so how are we going to sail then? ”

Lanster Road:

"According to the records, most of the obstacles there are shipwrecks, and I deliberately thickened the armor in front of our ship when it was in Wall Harbor! But this armor might be useful for those wreckage, but if it hits a reef..."

"Shhh That's it..."

Kitagawa touched his chin.

"Captain! What's the matter, all gathered here? ”

Kitagawa glanced back and saw that it was Camechia carrying a wooden box.

"Well, we've had some problems, there's a reef group on the periphery of Thundering Canyon, and now it's not clear to see where Lancet is going to be on the reef."

"Hmm~ That's it! Maybe Mr. Claude has a solution, he's reinforcing the hull now, I'm going to call him..."

Camicia thought for a moment.

"Hmmm! It's a good idea to talk to an expert in this area! Pity... It would be nice if we had a navigator, and I'm afraid it's only a small problem to leave something like this to a navigator..."

Beichuan whispered.

"Huh? Captain! What did you say? ”

"Oh? No~ Nothing! Call Mr. Claude! ”

...

Soon

Claude, who was still holding a hammer in his hand, appeared in front of Kitagawa.

"Mr. Higgs! Are you looking for me? ”

Kitagawa slightly bowed his head and told Claude the original story:

"That's right, we're in some trouble and we might need your help..."

Claude frowned and thought for a while and said:

"In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for this rain to stop before setting off! Thanks to a certain lady, the current condition of the hull is terrible, and I can only barely keep it moving normally! ”

"That's it~"

Kitagawa began to get tangled,

Await? No way! Who knows, when will this rain stop! And that sense of urgency in the dark reminds him all the time that the will of the world has been moved, and if he is still here at this time, it is likely that he will not recover!

It's a living thing's instinctive reaction to death...

"Then, Mr. Claude! Do you have a way to modify the bow section? ”

Beichuan hesitated.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but reinforcing a ship's hull is something you can only do in a shipyard in a big port! We simply can't do that now. ”

Claude replied immediately.

"No, I mean change the shape of the bow armor, is there anything you can do about that?"

"Armor? You mean icebreaker armor? ”

Claude asked, surprised.

Hearing this, Beichuan nodded in affirmation.

"Uh~ Of course, if it's just external armor, it's not very difficult to make a small change! But someone has to go to work with me! ”

Claude said he could make a request.

"That's easy! Are there any special requirements? ”

"It's fine, as long as the water is good enough!"

Is it water-based?

Kitagawa recalled the [water-based] value retrieved at that time, and it seemed that only Ken was the highest, perhaps because of his perennial exploration, this guy's water-based was 17!

By the way, what about the evaluation of the system...

(ps: The guy who can't drown if thrown into the sea, that's you, right?) ）

As for Kitagawa's own assessment...

(PS: You're terrible as a fisherman's son, and this kind of water just keeps you from drowning in a pond.) ）

Thinking of this, Kitagawa decisively called 'Ken'...

"Huh! That, 'Ken' I have something you can help with? ”

The scar on Ken's face jumped:

"Huh? What's the matter, I'm still preparing breakfast for everyone! Captain, you should know! This meal is important! Because in the next few days, this may be the last 'normal' dinner for all of us! ”

Beichuan coughed embarrassedly twice:

"Yes, Mr. Claude needs a good hand who is good at water! So I thought he recommended you! ”

"Hey! Higgs! I can tell you, I'm going to get off the boat in Parabun and follow Master Yongsan!! I'm just a temporary crew member! Don't try to point fingers at me! ”

Ken was clearly a little angry, and turned around to leave.

"Wait! What if I said that if Mr. Claude succeeds this time, we will appear in Svadia tomorrow?! ”

Groov!

Ken stopped abruptly.

"Say it again!"

Kitagawa said:

"I said I'm going to cross the strait in a day!"

"One day? Are you sure!? ”

Ken stared at Kitagawa's uncertain words.

"Hmmm! One day! It doesn't even take a day! I'm sure! ”

"That's good! If I knew you lied to me! You're done! Got it? ”

Ken threw down a cruel word viciously, and took off his shirt to reveal his scarred body...

Kitagawa couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scars on Ken's body! According to Ken's previous introduction, he should be an explorer! With so many swords wounded, and even punctured marks, it seems that they don't know what an adventurer can go through.

"Say it! What should I do for Claude? ”

"Uh~ah~ You have to ask him about this!"

Beichuan hurriedly replied.

Ken nodded and discussed with Claude on the side, and it seemed that the two got along quite well.

"Captain Higgs, can you tell me how you want to break through the Thundering Strait?"

Camicia looked at Kitagawa suspiciously.

"This one! We'll talk about it later! Come over here and help me fix the mast!" ”

As he spoke, Kitagawa began to untie the cable.

"Mast? What about deterrence, do you need to fix the mast? ”

Camicia ran over and untied a rope in a similar way.

"Leave this alone, come and help me wrap this around the mast and tie it to the stern!"
