Chapter 199: Abnormal Sea Area
Twenty-five days later.
White Bear's fleet sailed fast across the sea.
This kind of sailing speed has far exceeded the travel speed of ordinary ships, which is very dangerous for ordinary ships.
If you don't maneuver properly or don't notice a distant reef, a boat capsizing.
However, this speed is nothing for the fleet of White Bear Town.
The seabirds controlled by Coulson alone were able to detect the situation on the way forward. Coupled with the experience of the old pirate helmsman, as long as it is not the impact of force majeure from the outside world, the probability of an accident is basically zero.
On deck, Willy looked into the distance.
"It seems that we are already close to our destination......"
Willy glanced down at the map that recorded the route, and there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
According to the location marked by the treasure map, there is only a day's sailing distance at this time.
If there are no surprises, this time tomorrow, you should be at the destination of the treasure map.
"But ......"
Willy went through the notes that Boudar had made before, and among them, he also found some problems.
The treasure map on the parchment scroll is not very clear-cut. The landmarks and islands on it are only marked with some large ones, and some of the smaller islands are ignored on them.
According to Boudal's exploration, there are three islands of similar size in the final area of the treasure map, which makes it impossible for Willy to tell which island is the real treasure remnant.
On this point, Willid needs to be further probed and finally determined.
"Lord Baron, we seem to be close to our destination......"
Boudar walked up to Willy and said to Willy.
Soon after the trip, Willy revealed his true purpose to the people around him.
Sail out to sea in search of treasure.
Although he had known that Willy was looking for a certain target, Boudar was shocked when he learned that Willy was looking for a treasure.
Although Willy did not say whose legacy this treasure was, looking at Willy's attitude when he set sail in person, he knew that this treasure made Baron Willy very tempted.
The search for treasure is indeed a strong longing for a pirate leader who has been begging for food in the sea for decades.
Not only Boudal, but even Benduin and Coulson were excited when they found out.
It was originally just an adventurer's story in a travelogue, but it really happened to me. Going to the open sea in search of treasure sounds like a lot of excitement.
"Are you ready to search for manpower?"
The three destinations that are suspected of being treasures are naturally impossible to investigate in order, which would be too much of a waste of time.
Only by reasonably dividing the accompanying personnel into three parts can the maximum efficiency of the search be brought into play.
"It's already arranged. ”
Boudar nodded in response.
For Baron Willy's orders and wishes, Boudal is 100% fulfilled, and never dares to slack off.
At this time, Boudal not only controlled his own life in the hands of Willy, but even his family was under the constraints of White Bear Town.
Boudal in this state naturally wants to satisfy Willy as much as possible.
Willy nodded, as an endorsement of Boudal.
In fact, if you throw away the stain of Boudal's original identity, he can actually be regarded as a good subordinate. But his past experience as a pirate doomed him to enter the camp of the nobility.
Seeing that Willy was no longer talking, Boudar bowed and left.
"Lord Baron. ”
Shortly after Boudal left, Coulson approached.
However, he was not accompanied by Moria, and since coming to the ship, Coulson's speaker has always stayed in the cabin below deck.
"What's wrong?"
Willy glanced at Coulson.
"According to the feedback from the seabirds and swimming fish I manipulated, the area in the distance did not seem to be as calm as we imagined. ”
Coulson had a rare look of solemnity on his face.
"What did you find?"
Seeing this, Willy twisted his eyebrows.
Coulson carefully organized the wording: "The closer I got to the vicinity of the three islands, the more obvious I could perceive that there was something unusual about the fish near the islands...... They all seem to be restless. ”
"Restless?"
There is no similar record in Boudal's previous notes. But this is also normal, he is only an intermediate knight, and it is really difficult to find out about the creatures under the sea.
"Yes, it's mass agitation. They are noticeably much more restless than other fish behave. ”
Coulson voiced his guess: "I suspect that in the area around those three islands, some kind of natural energy is spilling out. It is this natural energy that influences the habits of nearby fish. ”
"You feel that natural energy?"
Willy asked, looking at Coulson.
"It's too far away for me to perceive it myself. But from the swimming fish and seabirds that I manipulated, I felt something. ”
Coulson responded.
Willy heard this and muttered for a moment.
Sure enough, it couldn't be so easy to get this treasure.
But that's good news, and at least it's proof of the treasure map's authenticity.
"You continue to do a good job of investigating, and if anything is unusual, report it to me immediately. ”
It's just a strange natural energy, and Willy naturally won't give up on his actions because of this.
"I see. ”
Coulson commanded.
The ship continued its voyage.
As the distance progressed, Willy also discovered what Coulson called the restlessness of the fish.
In the vicinity of the boat, there are constantly swimming fish jumping out of the sea, which is not an individual action, but a group action.
There were even pirates on board who reported that there were small schools of fish that had launched an attack on the ship.
Although there are not many fish in large numbers, and they are not large fish, this is still strange.
"Did you last come around here, did you encounter such a situation?"
Willy summoned Boudar over.
Boudar shook his head, fearing that Willy would blame his negligence in his work: "No, Lord Baron. The last time I was here, everything was as calm as the rest of the sea, there weren't so many fish jumping out of the water, and no fish attacking the boats. ”
When Willy saw Boudal, he knew he wasn't lying.
"Is it just a little over a month before some kind of change has taken place in the waters around here?"
This made Willy's originally relatively calm heart a little worried.
If there is a terrifying supernatural force stationed near the treasure left behind, it is not good news for the ships of White Bear Town.
