Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter
On the vast sea, the wind swept the dark clouds, and between the dark clouds and the sea, the petrels ......
Phew, between the dark clouds and the sea, there is a figure constantly rising.
"Mr. Ray has gone to calm the storm again, and I always feel that it is useless to have him in us navigators!" A navigator of the navy on the deck of a warship complained to the gunner next to him.
"Don't be dissatisfied, Mr. Lei is on complete vacation with you navigators, do you still want to calculate the weather variables every day?" The thick-eyed gunner slapped the back of the navigator's head with a palm.
"Hey, hey! Isn't that idleness! The skinny navigator smiled whimsily, and these days he and the other two navigators bask in the sun every day except playing cards, which makes the other soldiers with their own tasks envious to death.
"It would be nice if Mr. Lei could serve in our position, although Mr. Lei is cruel and ruthless to pirates, he is usually kind to us soldiers, and we will answer him carefully when we go to ask him about the weather." Looking up at the sky that was beginning to clear, the navigator held his chin and narrowed his eyes.
"Hmmm! If only Mr. Ray could stay here. The gunner fantasized with hope.
At this time, Ray was floating in the clouds in surprise, because he had come across a place that he had returned to in his dreams many times.
"Vi, Visalia!" With excitement and a little timidity, Ray slowly approached. "It really hasn't changed at all, it's still the same." Looking at the familiar scenery, Lei didn't dare to go any further, he didn't want to bring the blood on his body to this pure land without strife.
"Grandpa Hara, Grandpa Gurion, Grandpa Carlos, although you haven't changed, but I have changed, I may never be able to go back, my hands have long been stained with blood, I really want to go back." Lei stood on the edge of the small empty island, quietly watching everything familiar, his eyes gradually moistening.
"Huh! It's thunder! I said how suddenly the cumulonimbus clouds here dissipated all at once, long time no see, thunder! A weather boat rowed through the island, and Hara's head came out of the window and shouted.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lei immediately put the sentimentality just now behind him, and flew over excitedly, "Grandpa Hara, you won't go to see me this year." "Ray has a little resentment, as for why he can't come back, to hell with it.
"Haha, that's a long story, let's go down and talk about it, Gurion they were talking about you a few days ago!" Harada also looked excited, he had raised Ray for more than ten years, and he had long regarded Ray as his grandson, and he was more excited than anyone else to see Ray at this time.
The weather boat slowly descended in the direction of the castle, and Thunder also landed with the weather boat.
The early morning sun obliquely penetrates the clouds into a golden glow, dyeing the castle golden, the sky seems to be close at hand, the blue color makes people can't help but want to blend in, because of the driving in the clouds, there are some scattered clouds floating on the island, and the sun, the castle, and the sky constitute a fairytale-like picture.
"Ray, we've done a lot of fun research in the New World this year." Harada took Ray's hand and said happily as he walked, but in front of Ray's height of two meters and six, he was more like the child being held.
Ray hunched his waist and lowered himself so that Harada could reach his hand, and walked awkwardly towards the gate, feeling helpless to see the smiling faces of the scholars he met along the way.
"By the way, Ray, why did you suddenly appear here, weren't you supposed to be in training camp?" Harada suddenly reacted and looked at Ray curiously.
A few black lines crossed his forehead, and Lei was used to Hara's daily off-line, "Because of the assessment before the end of the recruits, Lieutenant Yellow Ape and I will come to the New World to capture pirates." Although they were all dead, Ray silently added in his heart.
"Oh, I see, since we separated, we have opened the Sky Island to the New World, and the weather here is really strange, but it gives us a lot of inspiration." Harada won't stop talking about his profession, and seeing that he was about to open the conversation, Ray quickly interrupted him, "Let's hurry in and find Grandpa Carlos!" ”
As if choked, Harada opened his mouth, and finally only said, "Let's go!" ”
As soon as he entered the castle, Ray heard Gurion's loud voice, "Hara! Didn't you be told to investigate the disappearance of the cumulonimbus clouds? How did you come back so soon. As soon as Gurion looked up, he spotted Hareda walking in front of him, shouting in dissatisfaction.
"Huh! Thunder, is it thunder? Have you grown so tall? The sharp-eyed Carlos saw Ray following behind him, and screamed in surprise, mocking Gurion's eyes.
"Grandpa Carlos, Grandpa Gurion, I'm back." Lei leaned down and hugged the two excited old men, who had long regarded these lovely old people as his relatives.
"Although I want to see you, but we old men forget the time as soon as we study it, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye." Gurion sighed, his eyes revealing kindness and affection.
"Don't talk about that, Ray, I've invented a fun one." Harada couldn't get used to this sad scene, so he directly changed the topic and took out something that looked like a rope, "Look, this is the knot of the wind." ”
"What's the use of that?" Lei curiously took it over and looked through it carefully, but it was no different from ordinary rope except for a few knots on it.
"You've got it." Harley triumphantly snatched the knot of the wind and gently untied one of the knots, "Untie a knot, and the breeze blows." ”
As Harada untied a knot, a light breeze suddenly appeared in the castle.
"Untie the two knots, and the wind blows." As Hareda moved, a strong wind suddenly rose in the castle, blowing all the papers on the table to the ground, and Ray had to cover his hat with his hand to keep it from being blown away.
"Untie the three knots, and the storm comes." Hara is like a child showing off his favorite toy, with an excited expression on his face.
"Hey, Hara, stop me, it's indoors." Carlos quickly pressed Harda's hands to untie the knots, the last time they had untied three knots indoors, and the group of them had been cleaning for half a week.
"Hey, hey! I was thrilled when I was not careful. Harada smiled awkwardly, but he had succeeded in changing the mood in the room.
"Grandpa Harda, what is the principle of this thing!" Ray was very surprised, just by such a simple movement to control the wind, it was simply beyond his imagination.
"It's actually very simple...... (Author: I don't know about this either.) Harley raised his eyebrows and explained to Ray proudly.
Under the clouds, on the sea.
A warship adrift alone.
The yellow ape looked up at the already clear sky, "Why hasn't this guy come down yet?" ”
