Chapter 7: The Narwhal
"Due north, whales!" shouted the dutiful lookout.
??? A shadowy blue-gray spine was rising from the water, covered with white dots, and a spear-like horn pierced into the sky, the largest narwhal ever seen by sailors, swimming to the right hundreds of feet from the Sparrow, and at the same time letting out a long, loud chirp.
??? With this chirp, the killer whales and whales left their frightened crew and the Sparrow, and swam in a west-southeast direction.
???β Do you think they wanted to eat the narwhal?" asked a crew member as the shaking subsided.
???β I think it was the narwhal who summoned them. The subject of his inquiry affirmed.
??? The whale and the killer whale quickly overtook the lone narwhal, but the little killer whale, which had nearly destroyed its mainmast, was still circling around the Sparrow (the white patches on its cheeks were round like the artificial black moles dotted on the cheeks of the southern lady), and it found something just as interesting as the mage's grey leather cloak fell into the sea, and it pushed it through its nose and played with its pectoral fins, and when it wanted to take a bite, the narwhal swam up to it and whistled and called.
??? The baby killer quickly abandoned the leather cloak and burrowed under its mottled belly, and the narwhal dived down, and when it resurfaced, it swam shoulder to shoulder with the Sparrow, the long gray-white horn of the spiral, the length of the support pillar of the house, carrying the water-soaked leather cloak.
???β Grant Woking," said the boatswain, "how many glasses can be made from this horn." β
???β Don't be stupid," said the captain, "it's obvious that it's a druid." β
??? A crew member skilled in lasso helped the mage retrieve the leather cloak, and the narwhal glanced meaningfully at the Sparrow and swam out with the little orca that kept talking.
???β What is it summoning these whales for?" the previous crew member continued.
???β Dinner?" guessed his companion, who had taken a lot of effort from the incident, and who missed the cook's cabbage and cured eggs.
???β Use it yourself?"
??? His companion's face suddenly became very strange.
??? Fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and the lookout of the Sparrow spotted the Golden Lady fifty miles away.
??? The beautiful four-masted ship struggled along, surrounded by layers of sharks, dolphins, and whales, which took turns slamming, raising waves, holding up the hull, gnawing at the rudder, and interfering with the ship's navigation, and behaved in a very orderly and polite manner, taking care not to let the spears and stone projectiles of man hit himβa dolphin was stabbed by a broken oar, and it swam away at once, and a thresher shark twenty feet long immediately made up for it, and bit it to pieces when the oars struck.
??? There were several narwhals in it, but the biggest one they had seen was the one they had seen, and it was probably stabbing the part of the ship below the surface with its huge, sharp horn.
???β Oh," the captain shook his head, "it's terrible, narwhal's horns can pierce even ice." β
???β It's strange," he added, "what about Drake's mage?"
??? Sleeping under the sea of Jianjaw Harbor, the captain's passenger said in his heart as he walked by as if nothing had happened.
???β Do you want to slow down, Captain?" asked the first mate, hesitantly.
???β I think they should be able to hold out for a while," said the captain of the Sparrow, but hesitated, "Slow down a section?" He held up his brass binoculars and looked around, and when he saw a three-masted ship with a pitch-black hull and white-painted mainmast and sails approaching in the distance, he immediately became relieved, "It's the Sea Devil, Drake's old acquaintance." Alright, we can go. β
??? As for whether Drake wanted to be the terrible woman of the Sea Devil who was just as insatiable as she was on the bed, as well as on the ship...... Well, rescue...... It's not something anyone on the Sparrow can and wants to care about.
??? Schools of whales and sharks silently dived and disappeared without a trace, and there was little evidence that they had ever been there, except for the scarred hull of the Golden Lady.
???β The narwhal is still there. The first mate of the Sparrow whispered, "It's too dangerous, there are three metal ratchet ballistas on the Sea Devil, it will be pierced." β
???β Wait and see. The captain said that he closely followed the movements of people and fish.
??? The water under the scorching sun was a pure and flawless emerald green, the waves were as transparent as crystal or air, a shadow that constantly changed colors and shapes floated up as light and fast as a bird, and five pairs of wrists and feet full of suction cups climbed the keel of the Golden Madame, and the razor-like shells and wooden spikes on the keel did not affect it in the slightest, it was so soft, so tough, so huge, that a single brachiopod could cover the elegant and luxurious beautiful lady. Unbelievable to the Golden Lady's crew, the real calamity was comingβhow terrible would the beak of a red-thorn king squid, almost half the length of the Golden Lady, be able to easily bite through a crab's claws with ease?
??? The Golden Lady is valued not only in its bow statue, but also in order to prevent the collision of reefs and fish, and also to prevent the erosion of shells and seawater, its shell below the waterline is covered with a layer of lead plate, and between the lead plates and the planks there is a layer of tarred canvas, but they are no stronger than eggshells under the foot-long beak of the redthorn king squid.
??? The people of the Sparrow could not see how the sea rushed into the cabin, tearing the ribs and bulkheads, nor could they hear the desperate howls and cries for help of the oarsmen who were shackled to their seats, but they could see the squid's wrists and feet reaching into the interior of the ship and grabbing its food from it, just as a child would always stuff his fists full of snacks from a candy jar, and there was a person on each of the wrists and feet covered with red thorns, one of whom had been forcibly torn off the shackles, and his feet were bloody and bloody, and he was covered in ** There are also soldiers wielding weapons - the gilded triangular sword can easily pierce the chain armor and the ** it protects, but it can't effectively damage the octopus's tough and smooth tentacles.
??? The clever King Squid didn't get too attached to the wooden box full of small pieces of meat, and as soon as it had caught enough of them, that is, ten, it relaxed its muscles, slid off the Golden Lady, and dived back into the familiar depths of the sea.
??? And the narwhal is long gone.
??? At this time, the Sea Devil was not as close as the Golden Lady to the Sparrow, and a small purple dot suddenly appeared on the deck of the Golden Lady, and after a brief flash of magic, he disappeared.
???β Drake escaped. The captain of the Sparrow couldn't help but laugh and said, "There will be people who will be disappointed." β
???β The Sea Devil will take its crew captive. The first mate said.
???β It's a problem, but Drake will figure it out. The captain said, "We can finally eat." β
??? The whales caused no small trouble for the Sparrow, and the captain and crew did not have the heart to sit down to eat, and even their guests only had a baked potato with butter and diced bacon.
??? The baked potatoes were simple, but the potatoes had just been bought from Jianjaw Harbor, and the cook had added a lot of butter and bacon, and had generously mixed in a little mead, and the sailors' portion did not have so many ingredients, but they were quite happy, and the mage walked among them, happily finding that the vague tension that had once lingered between them had disappeared.
??? No one seemed to know except the yellow-eyed crew that had lifted a killer whale that had nearly broken its foremast, but many people had seen how he had caught Yellow-eyed and tied him to an apple bucket, thanking him for saving their friend and turning that gratitude into a kind smile.
