Chapter 425: A Prediction as Accurate as the Sea God (Part 3)
St. Margaret's
Luc and Edwin were still together, and they sat in the ship's dining room, listening to the entertainer playing the seven-stringed harp and drinking light wine.
"Today's young people are too impetuous, they can't calm down to learn magic, and if they make a little achievement, they don't know how high the sky is." Luc sighed.
Edwin smiled: "That's right. and the young and beautiful little girl, who always thought that if she could be beautiful all the time, others should spoil her and love her. But I don't know how to say, appearance is the most unreliable. ”
Luc agreed, sighing, "You're right. If a woman comes from a commoner family, the more beautiful she is, the more miserable her life will be. I thought about the girl next door to me back then, how beautiful and warm she was, but I didn't expect that she would become a noble plaything in the end, and there was no good death. By now, they have been dead for forty years. ”
The two of them sighed in unison and took another sip of light wine.
Just then, a voice came from the deck: "The wind is blowing!" ”
After a while, someone shouted, "Get ready, the rain is coming!" ”
Luc and Edwin hurriedly got up and looked out of the window, and saw that the night when the moon was sparse and the stars were sparse was covered with thick dark clouds in the blink of an eye, and the wind on the deck was ripped by the wind, and the fishbill flag was ruffled by the wind, showing a strong wind.
Luc closed his eyes and felt it, and his face showed surprise: "What a strong elemental fluctuation. ”
"Is there really a storm?" Edwin was also surprised.
While he was hesitating, a sailor came over and said, "Two gentlemen, the captain would like you to come over." ”
Luc and Edwin glanced at each other, both feeling bad, and both hurried to the captain's quarters.
When I arrived at the captain's room, I saw the one-armed captain with a solemn face, calmly directing the sailors to deal with the approaching storm.
The captain saw the two magicians coming, and there was no reproach on his face. said: "The situation is very bad, and Rhodes said it." ”
"Where's Rod?" Luc asked. He no longer despised it now, on the contrary, he felt that his face was hot and panicked.
Edwin was even more silent.
"I've asked the sailor to go and ask for him." The captain said.
Rhodes succeeded in predicting the coming of the storm, which made his status rise like a rocket. All three waited patiently for him to arrive.
After a while, the sailor returned alone.
"What's going on?"
"Mr. Rhodes said he was resting, so he didn't come, and only asked me to bring one piece of news." The sailor replied.
The captain's face immediately became gloomy, no one on his ship dared to snub him like this, but he was about to rely on the young magician now, so he said patiently, "What did Mr. Rhodes say?" ”
The storm, he said, was not big. It will last for about three hours, and you will be ready to deal with it, after which the storm will subside. There is an eight-hour lull, and by 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, a huge storm will begin and will last intermittently for two weeks. "The sailor's face was a little unpleasant.
When you go out to sea, you are most afraid of encountering this kind of weather. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. A little better is disorientation. The ending couldn't be much better.
"So accurate, can he be sure?" The captain was a little unconvinced, predicting that the storm would not be difficult, but if he could add the exact time, it would be too powerful, not like a human being.
The sailor replied: "Mr. Rhodes said." If you don't believe it, just be patient and wait for a while. Time will test his words. ”
The tone was so loud that Edwin, who had been silent, muttered in a low voice, "He thought he was the god of the sea who controlled the storm?" ”
The old magician Luc was obedient, and he looked at the captain and said, "Be prepared. I'm going to the bow of the ship now to set up the Wind Magic Array to stabilize the hull. ”
The captain was pleased: "Thank you. ”
Edwin also said, "I'll go to the stern of the ship to set up the magic array. Protects rudder stability. ”
"Okay."
Edwin also left. The captain continued to direct the sailors to prepare for the storm.
Soon, the rain began to pour down, and the wind began to intensify, whining like a ghost crying, it was originally night, and with this bad weather, the sea suddenly became like the end of the world.
The St. Margaret's was even more undulating, and on this sea, no ship was big enough, and it shook like chaff as the waves tossed up and down.
"Damn it, damn it." The captain cursed repeatedly, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Hold on, hold on, it will soon pass." ”
Hopefully what Rod said for three hours is true.
in the cabin.
Sun Ran tied himself to the wooden bed with a rope, rolled a quilt on his body, and let the hull of the boat shake, he just fell asleep.
Zhao Shan saw him like this, she really convinced him, she was bored alone, so she simply shook Sun Ran awake and asked, "When you arrive in the Southern Continent, what are you going to do?" ”
"Boost your strength and become a legendary magician as soon as possible." Sun Ran opened his eyes and replied, and then Chuanyin asked, "The fragment of the World Realm is in your hands, how is your understanding?" ”
"It's ok. The information in the fragments of the world and the confirmation of what you taught me have taken me to the next level. Now, I have the confidence to fight that Friggia. ”
"Oh, that's the Great Luo Jin Immortal who has become a thirteenth-level Da Luo, that's good." Sun Ran smiled.
"Then when are you going to teach me to condense the eternal Godhead... Oh no, what about the Immortal Primordial God? Zhao Shan asked. What she is most interested in is to have an immortal primordial god and completely break free from the shackles of the physical body.
"Immortal Primordial God." Sun Ran smiled: "This is the biggest breakthrough since the virtual network, it is very precious, and I never teach people at will." ”
"Oh~ You'll just teach me, it's a little bit behind, hide it, and you're not afraid of choking." Zhao Shan pleaded.
"You make me think again." Sun Ran smiled, this Zhao Shan, as long as she is allowed to achieve immortal primordial gods, she will definitely be a wild horse that has escaped.
"Okay, then hurry up. I'm waiting to learn. Zhao Shan said.
"Yes, yes. Don't make any noise, I'm going to continue to repair my body, this damn world, the rules are too picky, you must let me fix it little by little. Sun Ran couldn't help but complain.
"You deserve it, who told you to cast a forbidden spell."
…….
Two hours have passed, and the storm is getting stronger and stronger, with no tendency to abate at all.
"Captain, the brothers can't stand it anymore, this wind is really terrible!" The first mate rushed in and yelled as hard as he could, but the wind was so loud that he couldn't hear it at all if he didn't shout.
"How's Luc?" The captain asked.
"He's stabilizing the hull, and if he hadn't been with Edwin, the ship would have capsized." The first mate shouted.
"Okay, hold on a little longer, you go and tell the brothers, and in a little while the storm will weaken." The captain remembered Rod's words.
"I hope so. May the god of the sea forgive us. "Of course, the first mate also knows the prediction of the Dao magician, but looking at the current situation, the storm will pass in three hours, which is really unreliable.
Prow.
Luc was presiding over the operation of the magic array, he had been holding on for two hours, his energy was already a little low, and he was already exhausted when he saw this situation.
He's really old.
But he had to hold on, otherwise the ship capsized and it was over, he was only a three-star magician, although he could fly, but he didn't have the ability to fly out of this vast sea.
Time passed little by little, and just as Luc felt that he was close to running out of oil, he suddenly felt a relief from the pressure.
"The wind has weakened." He was overjoyed.
Then, the wind that had been spreading wild just now quickly weakened, as if someone had driven it away. The speed of change is incredible.
After another twenty minutes or so, the wind became a breeze, the pouring rain became a drizzle, and everything calmed down.
Luc took out the dwarven pocket watch from his bosom and opened it to see the time, which was between two minutes and three hours.
'Hiss~' The old magician gasped: "The weather forecast can be accurate like this?" ’
He definitely can't do it, he's never met it in his life, it's incredible.
Edwin also appeared from the stern, also with a shocked face, apparently, he also noticed this: "I now kind of suspect that he is the god of the sea." ”
Captain's room.
The one-armed captain looked at the calm sea again, muttered for a while, and then said to the second mate on the side: "You go and arrange it." Give Mr. Rhodes and his sister the best treatment, food, and shelter are all made the best. ”
"Yes, Captain." The second mate nodded, no objection. He has been at sea for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen this kind of magician, and he knows that he has met a strange person in this matter, where do he dare to slack off.
Not long after the second mate left, the pilot sailor, who had been looking for directions, turned his head in frustration and said, "Captain, we have deviated from course and have been blown by the wind to the Sea of Death. The compass is out of work. ”
The Sea of the Dead, the legendary cursed sea. Here, even the compass, the sailor's most loyal friend, betrayed.
Basically, any ship that enters the Sea of Death is tantamount to a death sentence.
The captain looked up at the sky, and it was full of dark clouds, obscuring the stars and the moon, and there was no way to determine the direction.
He remembered what Rhodes had said before, that in eight hours, it would be a storm that would last for nearly two weeks, and his heart shuddered.
He couldn't stay any longer, and after thinking about it, he decided to go and see Rhodes in person and ask him what he thought.
Maybe it didn't work, but the young magician had become the only straw he could see. (To be continued......)
