Chapter 672: Instantaneous
Listening to Ferena's words, Ling Xingyue also smiled and nodded, the sleeplessness of the whole night actually did not make Ling Xingyue feel tired, but there was a feeling after cultivation, although he did not practice in the place where the sea and the sky intersected, but the inverted galaxy seemed to have an echo with Ling Xingyue in the dark, sailing on such a night sea, as if driving in the starry sky, making people feel that heaven and man meet. A feeling in the dark.
Entering the inner cabin, his table has been very intimate with drinks and food, although they are all dried fish and dry food and other things, but now Ling Xingyue's appetite is also good, just clean water and a little fruit, Ling Xingyue solved the meal three times five divided by two, and then slipped his shoes, lay on his bed, by the shaking of the hull, soon, he fell asleep, the sleep of the endless sea is the same, dreamless sleep, will always make you sleep very comfortable, from early morning to noon, Ling Xingyue woke up.
The moment she woke up, she still felt a little unaware of where she was, but soon, Ling Xingyue remembered where she was from the leftovers on her table, the boat was still moving, and the waves were still crashing against the hull, Ling Xingyue opened the hatch, walked out, and went up to the deck. Seeing that a few people are busy adjusting the angle of the sail, the tailwind blowing from the sea has changed direction, now Felena is adjusting the angle of the sail, grabbing the crosswind, the previous travel, the wind continues to increase, now the hull has a little tilt, all the sails because the wind is too slow, are bulging like steamed buns, Felena is beside the rudder, steering steadily, from time to time to instruct, let the two first mates adjust the position of the sail, through continuous fine-tuning, always maintain the course, but also ensure the speed of the ship.
Seeing Ling Xingyue coming out of the hatch, Felena said hello, "My lord, why don't you sleep for a while?" Ling Xingyue smiled, "I also want to have a good time with the boat, Captain, what do you think I should do?" Felena said, "My lord, after a night's hard work, it would be better for you to take a rest, now this speed is basically the limit of this boat, we are now rushing to the crosswind, but the wind is very strong, so we are still very fast, I hope that the wind direction will not change suddenly, so that it can save us a lot of time," he said, and pressed the rudder a little more, feeling that the whole bow of the ship began to tilt to one side.
Ling Xingyue looked up at the bulging sails, and saw that all the sail ropes were broken like bowstrings, making a sound similar to a piano from time to time, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "Captain, can we still do this sail, I feel like it's quite dangerous." Felena also looked up, "Indeed, it's almost to the limit, if the wind can be maintained or reduced, we can persevere, if the wind continues to increase, then there is no way, we have to lower the sails, we can't let this wind continue to blow our sails, otherwise it will really break." Ling Xingyue looked at it worriedly, she had no experience in operating a boat at all, and she couldn't see the limit of the sail line at all. I just feel that it has collapsed into such a line, and it still buzzes itself from time to time, which should definitely be abnormal. But the captain Felena was there, so Ling Xingyue had a backbone.
Helping to adjust the angle of the sail, and tying the sail rope with the method taught by Ferena, suddenly in the rear position, Ling Xingyue saw a small dot, a small black dot. Well? Ling Xingyue immediately became alert and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't see the ship, because here, only the upper part of a dark sail could be seen, and the rest of the position could not be seen at all.
Ling Xingyue didn't dare to slack off, and called the remaining three people to look at the little dot together, "Do you see it, it's there," Unfortunately, the remaining three people all had a confused expression, including Felena, who didn't see the little bit that Ling Xingyue said. "My lord, are you talking about this location? Why can't I see anything? What kind of dark sail is there, "Ling Xingyue pointed ahead, "That, that, look closely, Miss Fei, can't you see it?" Felena nodded, "Our dragons have very good eyesight, but we really didn't see what you said. It shouldn't be," the three of them continued to lean out, looking into the distance according to Ling Xingyue's command. But nothing was found.
Finally, Felena said, "My lord, don't worry, if it is an ordinary merchant ship, it will soon be invisible, don't worry, we are far away from him, and we can't hit it." If it's a pirate, you don't have to worry about it, they'll catch up on their own, and we'll wait for them to raise the black flag before we deal with it. ”
Ling Xingyue nodded, and continued to operate the boat with Felena and them, the wind was no longer so strong, all the sail ropes had been relaxed, and as the speed slowed down, the body of the boat also recovered the corresponding angle. Ling Xingyue maintained a fixed rate and came to look at the black dot, and found that the black dot had really become larger, obviously the other party had followed, and this time, Felena was also able to see the sails of the ship. Obviously, this kind of sail has been specially modified, and the paint on it can blend the ship into the background of the sea, it is not for Ling Xingyue's eyes, it is difficult to find such a ship from a distance. Seeing that the boat slowly began to chase and approach, Felena shook her head,
"My lord, a very suspicious ship, very suspicious, coming directly at us, this is not the posture that a merchant ship should have, it seems that we may really run into pirates."
Ling Xingyue nodded, "It's okay, we're not afraid of pirates, it's just a matter of effort." Looking at the expression on Ling Xingyue's face, Felena said next, "My lord, in fact, I know that my lord is still a little unbearable with these guys, and I also know that just based on some of my descriptions and some stories, my lord still feels a little unbelievable, after all, I have never been in contact with real pirates." It's better for us to put on a show. "Acting??" Ling Xingyue and Zhao Jinlong looked at Felena in a daze, "Yes, it's acting, we pretend to be four merchants, and there are family members in the cabin, let's seal the cabin and see how these pirates are going to deal with us, so that we will know, those rumors on the Dragon Island, whether they are true, if these pirates are really like the rumors, extremely vicious, then it is naturally our obligation to send them back to the west, if they are still a little human, then according to what the adults say, let them go, Just teach them a lesson. ”
