Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: Levy Whale
"Mr. Charles, what are you doing?" Lily, who was standing on the stove, watched curiously as Charles tinkered with the tin pipe.
"Whew~" The stove was lit, and the white steam came to the other side along with the cooling pipe, turning into droplets of water and dripping into the cup.
Seawater is boiled in a furnace to make fresh water. It is a very simple thing to heat seawater to produce water vapor, which is cooled and condensed to obtain pure water.
Lily's eyes lit up when she drank the distilled water, "It's delicious, Mr. Charles, you're so good at turning seawater into fresh water." ”
When Lily looked at Charl's heavy face, her newly erected ears drooped again, "Mr. Charles, we have water, why are you still upset?"
Charles's hand ran over her hairy head, "It's not that simple. ”
Anyone can distill water, not only Charles, but also the humans of Earthsea, but there is a reason why everyone has not done it.
There is a lot of seawater, but it takes a lot of fuel to break it down.
Their purpose was not to have water to drink, but to escape from the current predicament, and the narwhal was running out of fuel.
Fuel for fresh water is just a left hand for right hand, no fresh water crew will die of thirst, but without fuel, the narwhal can't move, still can't get rid of the dilemma of dying of thirst.
"How's that...... Want...... Sacrificial ...... ......" The sound of bandages floated from the kitchen door.
The words of the bandage made the atmosphere in the kitchen instantly extremely oppressive, and Lily was a little frightened, and her ears trembled slightly.
Charles didn't answer, turned around and walked out of the kitchen. Bandage silently followed.
On the empty deck, Charles looked at everything that was pitch black outside.
The surrounding darkness weighed down like a huge pot lid.
"Even if we convert fresh water and fuel, we can only last for 16 days at most, and if there is no water, we can hold on for 3 days, and the probability that we will find the island in 19 days is too low......," Charles said to himself, looking at the dark sea.
"You...... Haven't answered yet...... I...... Issue...... Do you want to offer sacrifices?"
Charles's face was unwilling, but in this situation, it seemed that there was only one way.
"Can you tell me what the sacrifice does, and if you sacrifice three lives to God Fordan, can it send our ship back to the dock of Hope Island in an instant?"
"The Almighty...... Receiving the Offerings...... His servants...... will show us the way......"
Charles clutched the edge of the boat with both hands, these were some nonsense, and the most important thing was that he never asked, that is, there were only ten people on the boat, who would be the sacrifice.
As if sensing what Charles was thinking, Bandage spoke, "I...... Selected...... Target...... Chefs count as one...... Linda ...... And one sailor, we ...... You can wait for them to ...... in the evening When you sleep...... Hands-on ......"
"There's no need, it's really going to be sacrificed to everyone by lot. Charles frowned, he didn't want to make this decision unless he had to.
The life and death of the crew rested on his shoulders, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his crew would be sent to the altar and sacrificed to the evil gods in the water.
Charles's mouth opened and closed, and just as he hesitated, a trembling whisper was heard in the distance.
"There's something ahead, and I'm going to turn the rudder. Charles turned and walked towards the cockpit, where he still didn't answer the bandage question.
The narwhal shifted direction, dodged the thing's position, and continued to wander aimlessly in the dark sea.
Thick dark circles hung on Charles's face, and he had barely slept in the past few days, and there was still abnormal movement in his head.
He knew that whether he agreed to the sacrifice or not, he had to make a decision.
The crew stood in a row on the deck, watching as the bandaged first mate drew a mysterious circle of light on the ground with his own blood
Each of them had an indescribable complication of emotion on their faces, and they knew what they were doing without asking.
Charles's gaze swept over their faces one by one, watching them avoid his gaze, and his lips seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this time.
"Hmm~" The strange low sound came from a distance again.
Charles raised his hand, and the narwhal sailed towards the other side in tacit agreement.
Just as Charles was about to preach this cruel message to the crew, he turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, which suddenly sounded familiar to him.
"Wait, maybe we don't have to sacrifice, we have another choice!" a hint of excitement hung over Charles's face.
The crew returned to their posts, the propellers propelling the narwhal in the direction of the sound.
The white mist dispersed, and a round mountain appeared in front of him on the water, and looking at such a huge thing made the crew instinctively shiver.
Lily was even more frightened and shrunk into Charles's clothes. "Mr. Charles, let's go, let's go, that's a god!!"
"No, that's not a god. Charles's answer was categorical.
As soon as he finished speaking, a column of water erupted from the center of the mountain, and it rained for the first time over the narwhal.
"That's the Levy whale, our hope to live. "Charles has found a way to live, the whale has a lot of whale oil in its body that can be used as fuel, and only by leaving it behind, the fuel problem is solved.
At this moment, the huge fins hit the surface of the water, and the whale's body slowly sank towards the water. "Hurry up!!Can't let it go down!!"
"Boom!!" the narwhal's cannon suddenly sounded, and a bright firework exploded on the whale's body.
The huge whale shuddered violently, and the whale's cry instantly became extremely high, and it was enraged by the shelling of itself, and swung its tail towards the narwhal with overwhelming momentum.
Faced with a giant fish twice the size of the narwhal, Charles certainly did not dare to make a hard connection, and he quickly turned the rudder to let the boat escape from the whale's impact.
Just as the narwhal was about to dodge the whale's collision, the huge fishtail flicked over and smashed into the hull with a "boom". The whole ship shook violently, and the crew took off directly into the air and smashed into the hull.
With a creak, the left side of the narwhal instantly recessed a large piece,
Charles didn't care so much, he clung to the rudder to prevent the boat from tipping over.
"Lily, don't stop!!Keep blasting him with a cannon for me!!"
The rats that were rolling around on the deck quickly rushed towards the deck guns.
Soon as the muzzle of the cannon turned, the cannon sound sounded again, and a continuous stream of shells exploded on the whale in the distance.
It didn't take long for the Levy whale to be cratted and bleeding from the shell.
But even so, the whale could still move, and it opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening whale cry, and the sound was full of monstrous rage.
