"Speed, Captain?"

"Eighteen, sir. ”

"It's a little slower than I thought it would be. ”

"We're going against the God-given Canal, and it's going a lot faster than I expected. ”

"Can't go any faster?"

"The lads have done their best. ”

"What if I need to go faster?"

"It depends on God's face. ”

"What if God pleases face?"

"It depends on the ship's face. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If the speed is too high, it will damage the hull. The captain spread his hands to show that there was nothing he could do, and said, "This is the fastest speed I have ever seen." ”

Under the heavy bounty of Isenas, the crew members with an average rank of five worked hard to make the Shiratori sail on the canal like a real bird, sailing at a speed far exceeding the twelve knots of an ordinary sailing ship, but Isenas still felt that it was too slow.

"The carriage can travel twenty kilometers an hour, and the ship is only a third faster. (Note: One section is equal to one nautical mile, and one nautical mile is about eighteen kilometers.) ）

"But we work around the clock. ”

"So, how long can you run out in a day?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "Counting the rest time of the crew, it is about three hundred kilometers. ”

Esenas figured it out in his head.

The straight-line distance from Baihu Lake to Shuicheng is only 500 kilometers, but the actual distance has to be extended to 800 kilometers. In other words, even if they did this day and night, it would take them three days to reach Water City. If Blandwisson had also chased along the waterway, the passenger ships that had been manipulated might have sailed at a speed of only eight nautical miles, and calculations showed that it would take Brandwison at least six days to reach the watertown.

This creates a three-day time difference.

If you add in the distance between Blandwison and them, by the time they arrive at Watertown, the time difference will be widened to four to five days.

"Not enough, still not enough. Isenus whispered.

Suddenly, he quickly raised his head and told the captain, "Don't let the lads stop for a while, no matter what happens." ”

"The Shiratori is at your command, sir. ”

The captain agreed, but he was very curious.

No matter what happens? This is an inland canal, not the heart of the sea, not the vast sea, what can happen in the calm canal?

Under the watchful eye of the captain, Isenas flew onto the mast, and with one hand he pointed at it, and the neatly collected three-sided sails scattered from the top of the mast.

"Hey, we're headwinding now! Beat... Open?"

The sail that fell, originally puffed up slightly to the east, but with a gesture of Isennus's right hand, the sail gradually retracted, and then continued to flutter towards the west.

Full sails!

The captain was dumbfounded.

"Speed! Captain!"

The captain woke up from a dream, took a few steps to the stern, lowered the knot himself, counted the knots with his left hand, and stared at an hourglass with his eyes.

"Twenty-five! sir!"

Is it only about ten kilometers away?

"Measure again, Captain!"

The captain lowered another piece of rope.

"Thirty knots, sir, how did you do that?"

The captain lifted the rope that had been lowered, and at that moment the captain noticed that the knot seemed to swing in a strange direction, and that the shape of the water flowing behind the boat seemed to change.

The captain rubbed his eyes.

The incredible sight in front of him is the masterpiece of Isennas, who uses the ability to control everything to fix a part of the river water to the hull of the boat, changing the actual shape of the ship's outer structure, so as to reduce the resistance of the boat to the boat.

However, as the captain said, too high a speed can cause damage to the ship.

"Squeak~ya~"

"What sound?" Leo was acutely aware of a strange sound coming from the ship.

"What?"

"A sound, don't you hear, squeaking, as if something was going to be crushed. ”

The sound grew louder and louder, and even the captain heard the strange sound.

The strange sound woke the captain from the shock of the incredible speed, and he opened his mouth wide.

"Stop!"

It wasn't the captain who was the first to make a sound.

The owner of the ship, holding his head, cried out, "Oh! no! stop! sir!

Standing on the mast, Isenas shouted in the wind, "Don't stop, Captain, let the lads continue, the ship disintegrates is no big deal, let's take care of it!"

Little Paul was frightened and ran wildly on the canal at a speed of nearly sixty kilometers per hour, and the sturdy-looking boat under his feet seemed to be about to disintegrate!

"Leo!

"On the right side of the belly, there seems to be a board to say goodbye to. ”

The owner of the ship muttered: "It's the cargo hold, fortunately there is no cargo today." ”

"In the middle of the boat, oh, how to say that, in the middle of the boat right in the front. ”

"The god of the sea is above, and the rib guards have also suffered. ”

"The bow of the ship, several boards, they are going to be deserters!"

The owner of the boat collapsed to the ground, trembling and stroking his beloved boat: "It's over, it's all over." ”

Leo shouted more frequently at first, but then became less and less, and finally, the sound of the ship creaking seemed to disappear.

The strange silence brought the owner back to reality: "Where are we now, are we in the kingdom of the sea god?"

The captain pulled up the owner and said, "Not yet." But we'll see you in a quarter of an hour. ”

"A quarter of an hour?"

"Yes, in a quarter of an hour, we're going to pass through a ray of heaven. ”

"With thirty nautical miles, the sea god will not imagine the high speed?"

"It's thirty-three nautical miles now, and the gentleman doesn't seem satisfied. ”

The ship's owner saw a black eye, and he completely passed out.

Leo stood beside Isenas in the face of the fierce wind.

"Did you hear the captain, too? a shallow river six hundred meters long, forty meters wide, between two cliffs. Not to mention such a narrow river, what if a boat comes from the opposite side, even if we can smash the opposite side, you can't fly on the sand, right?"

"Since you can't fly in the sand, then fly in the sky, and I'm going to make the Asuka a real bird. ”

As he spoke, a black line had appeared in the sky.

Isenus raised his left hand slightly, and the river beneath the Asuka also rose, and from a distance, it looked like a blue-green bridge of water had risen in the God-given canal.

The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the crystal water in the sky, and the Asuka became a real bird.

"Bang!"

The owner of the ship was awakened by a loud crash.

"We should be in the kingdom of God now, right?" asked the shipowner hopefully.

At this moment, he would rather be in the kingdom of God, and perhaps only in the kingdom of God can he enjoy a moment of peace.

"No, sir. Esenas jumped off the mast, straightened his windswept clothes, and pointed to the pier where the bow of the ship had crashed.

"We're on the docks of Watertown now, and you've been asleep for two nights and a day. ”
