Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 026 Storm
The next day, the magical ship sailed away from the coastline and headed for the deep sea, where there is a short transoceanic route, the first hurdle of the transoceanic route, a no-go zone for local fishing boats.
Some of the students grew up by the sea, but they didn't go so deep into the ocean.
Seeing the blue sky and the white waves surging at the stern of the boat, many students were not in the mood to read at all, lying by the window and looking at the sea.
In contrast, because Charlie's room is the most on the side, it is relatively quiet.
Teenage boys and women are relatively simple-minded, as long as they feel right, they will ignore the difference in identity, after some contact, Charlie met a few friends, simply know their origins, they are different from others, Charlie can feel sincere.
Qianxue, Faust, the art capital from afar, is a famous historical and humanistic ancient city of the thousand-year-old empire, looking at her noble and elegant temperament, you know that her background must be extraordinary, but it is not revealed.
The Gosta brothers, Colin and David, twin sons of a marquis of Haynes, are allies of the Pavel family.
Qingtong, from the neighboring Lancang Empire, is an ancient country with a thousand-year heritage, but it has declined in recent years and has become a vassal of the thousand-year-old empire.
I also know some other classmates, such as:
Sophia, from Rome, the first military capital of the Empire, is said to have a strong background in the military.
Feron, the son of the Mensa chaebol, his father belonged to the Gold Coast League with the Iron Lord, and he was also a wealthy man on the rich side.
In short, the people in this are not only talented, but also have no simple backgrounds, and relatively speaking, Charlie is the most "mediocre" of them.
At this moment, Charlie was sitting at the table, holding the book "All Elementary Spells" in his hand, and he was fascinated.
Sure enough, it's a good book.
The paper is parchment, smooth and strong, the writing is textured, and it can fully present the fullness and layering of the ink, which is a pleasant enjoyment for the feel and vision.
What's more, each spell comes with a magic mirror, and touching the magic inscription on the page will trigger the projection of the magic scene, you can see the teacher's mouth shape, and hear the full spell verse, just to make up for Charlie's regret that he doesn't have many spells.
After a brief scan, I found that it contained arcane, frost, fire, nature, holy light, earth, thunder, and other common magic spells in various genres.
While Charlie was reading, Qianxue had been sitting across from him, holding her chin with one hand, quietly looking out the window.
After a long time, she didn't feel emotional: "At first, I still felt fresh, but after watching it for a long time, I felt so bored, the endless water, and the clouds were so special, like a dirty towel rolling up, black and pressed, I felt uncomfortable when I saw it." ”
Charlie pulled his gaze away from the book and looked out the window.
In the direction of the ship's heading, a horizontal tubular cloud about tens of kilometers wide appeared in the field of vision, white at the top and black at the bottom, constantly tumbling forward, the scene was spectacular.
Looking at the sea again, the deep sea began to shake, the dark blue sea water turned up the majestic waves, the hull of the ship swayed with the big waves, shaking people unsteadily, in front of the power of nature, people and boats seem so small.
Qianxue clung to the table, stabilized her figure, and couldn't help but show a look of fear in her eyes, after all, she hadn't experienced the wind and waves of the ocean.
The appearance of such clouds on the sea is a sign of a storm.
Charlie frowned, put down the book, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I have to inform the captain, the storm is coming." ”
"Is it that serious?"
Charlie didn't care about answering, rushed out of the room directly, ran onto the deck, but saw a group of people standing at the bow of the boat, the team leader teacher and the captain stood on the bow of the boat, standing quietly in the wind, letting the cold wind and rain blow on his body, looking at the wet hairline of the team leader teacher, he knew that they had been out for a long time, some of those teachers were intently observing, and some were holding small alchemy meters and measuring carefully.
The experts had noticed the anomaly in the weather, and Charlie was relieved.
The students also felt the turbulence of the sea, and they stopped playing and leaned on the windowsill to observe the situation outside.
"Lowering the sails. ”
"Three on the left side, one on the left. ”
"Fill the purple river crystal and activate the water curtain. ”
“......”
A series of orders were issued, the speed of the ship decreased, the wind and waves were stronger, but the hull of the ship shook slowly, showing the stability of the magic ship.
Then, light blue magical energy flowed from the flagpole in the center of the hull, gathered at the top, condensed into a large ball of light, and water-like lines appeared on the surface of the ball of light, light blue, glowing, and the ball of light became larger and larger.
Burst!
A silent wave of light exploded, and a pale blue curtain fell from the top of the flagpole, joining the ship's side to form a closed light shield, and the rain and wind were immediately kept out of the ship.
Yes!
The students burst into cheers, and magic gave them a strong confidence that would not waver even in the face of nature's storms.
However, in the next moment, the sea surface changed abruptly.
A thunderclap exploded overhead, opening the prelude to the storm, and in an instant, the wind surged, the dark clouds rolled forward wave after wave, and the raindrops of beans splashed down, and at the moment of thunder and lightning and dispelling the darkness, it can be seen that the inky black waves several meters high rolled towards the bow of the ship, and the momentum was really terrifying.
Boom! Boom!!
Thunder exploded one after another, shaking the heavens and the earth, and suddenly, all the students were as pale as earth, and in the face of the unrivaled power of nature, everyone was in danger.
At this moment, the captain's deep voice sounded on the ship, transmitted to every corner of the ship through the alchemy device.
"Fellow magic apprentices, I am the captain of this ship, Stephen, please don't panic, storms are the most common weather in storms and oceans, we have seen a lot, this ship is specially designed for wind and waves, it will never sink, please rest assured to ride.
The only thing to note is that in the wind and waves, the hull of the ship will inevitably be bumpy, please stay in your room, lock the doors and windows, and fix yourself to prevent collision and injury.
Try not to sleep for the duration of the storm, and wait for the boat to sail out of the storm area and everything will be calm. ”
Hearing the captain's words, the students' nervousness calmed down a lot.
Charlie glanced at Qianxue, who was pale, and couldn't help but say, "You'd better go back to your room." ”
Qian Xue barely squeezed out a smile and said, "If there is one person in the room, it's a bit ...... Alone. ”
Charlie smiled dumbly: "You can say that you are so fresh and refined, you are really amazing." ”
Qianxue snorted and glanced at him.
"Qianxue, Qianxue, do you want to come to my room? Daniel's voice came down the hallway.
The sentence immediately drew laughter from the students, and the invitation was a bit ambiguous.
Daniel heard the laughter and hurriedly explained: "Qianxue, there are six people in my room! There are boys and girls, Sophia is also there, there are many people, everyone takes care of each other, it will be safer, I will protect you, do you want to come together?"
"No thanks, I'm fine here!" Qianxue replied from afar.
"Where are you?!" Daniel's voice was half confused, half faintly angry.
Qianxue paused, bit her lip, and replied, "In Charlie's room." ”
Immediately there was silence outside, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere brewing in the hallway.
Charlie spread out his hands and said, "Sister, why do you bother? I want him to completely hate me to the core!"
Qianxue smiled and said, "What are you saying, I don't understand! Shouldn't he hate you? Who told you to beat him!"
Charlie was speechless.
Inadvertently, he turned his head to look out the window, his face changing slightly.
Through the window, you can see the bean-sized raindrops smashing on the light curtain, silent, making a circle of ripples, the rain is just embellishment, the real power is the terrifying waves as high as more than ten meters, enveloping tens of thousands of tons of seawater, from the right side of the ship, Charlie is in the stern, just to see the huge waves sweeping in the right rear.
A huge wave that suddenly emerged caught people off guard!
Charlie quickly opened his backpack, found a rope, and quickly wrapped it around the foot of the table, looping it behind Qianxue......
"You...... What are you doing?!" In an instant, Qianxue's body shook, and two red clouds floated out of her face.
Charlie grabbed her right hand and said in a deep voice: "Hold on to this handle with your right hand, and hold on to the rope with your left hand." ”
"Oh oh!" Qian Xue realized that she might have misunderstood, and hurriedly responded.
Then, Charles quickened himself and slammed the door shut, but before he could close the window, the hull of the ship was already tilting.
The fifteen-meter-high dark blue waves hit the hull of the ship, and the light mask was distorted and deformed by the huge force, which made people thrilling to see, for fear that it would disintegrate in the next moment.
In an instant, the hull shook violently, tilted horizontally nearly 80 degrees, and the left side of the hull was directly submerged in the seawater.
Qianxue's right hand was weak, her head slammed on the window lattice, she screamed in pain, her left hand was loosened, and the whole person flew out of the window......
What's even more frightening is that the hull outside the window is the black seabed, and a huge amount of seawater squeezes the light mask inward, almost reaching out to touch it, and Qianxue crashes headlong into the light curtain, feeling like it is going to sink directly to the bottom of the sea......
Yikes!
A scream that pierced her eardrums sounded, and Qianxue closed her eyes, no one knew what the consequences would be if a person hit the mask, whether it would touch the taboo of the mask, let the sea water pour in, and let everyone die in the deep sea.
Charlie grabbed her by the collar with one hand and grabbed the edge of the table with the other, holding her back from falling.
"Hold on to my arm!" Charlie roared, the sound of the roar was muffled in the rolling thunder, he couldn't hear it, and he didn't know if Qianxue heard it, but Qianxue's hands really hugged his neck, tightly, buried his moving face in his neck, and trembled slightly.
Yes!!
There were also a few screams from the next door, and their bodies slammed against the wooden walls, thumping, but fortunately they were confined with doors and windows, and there was no worry about flying out of the room.
The captain had already warned that the students who did not listen would inevitably suffer, and at this time, no one would help but rely on themselves.
In the blink of an eye, under the effect of the alchemy stabilization device, the hull of the ship flipped over, and a delicate body smashed into Charlie's chest, and Qianxue's head hit Charlie's chin directly, biting his tongue, painful, salty, and bleeding.
Charlie grinned, exhaled a breath of turbidity, straightened her body, and quickly locked the window while the hull was stable.
Charlie solemnly admonished: "This time you really have to hurry." ”
Qianxue had palpitations in her heart, and said timidly, "I'm sorry." ”
Charlie shook his head and said: "No, it's not your fault, it's that I reacted slowly and didn't close the window in time, in fact, I was also curious, I wanted to see the wind and waves outside, something almost happened just now, I was really curious to kill the cat!"
"Huh, I ...... I'm not a cat. Suddenly hearing a strange proverb, Qianxue's eyes widened and she hurriedly retorted.
Charlie laughed back, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the cabin, there was no place to fix himself, and now to stay down there, it would be really a sin, a bunch of people and luggage turning in the cabin, definitely not a good experience.
......
The ship suffered in the storm for more than two hours, and when the hull stabilized, a ray of light came through the cracks in the window, and it felt like it was dawn.
Everyone was physically and mentally devastated, more tiring than hours of physical work.
Charlie pushed open the window, but saw a round of scorching sun hanging diagonally in the air, and the afterglow was scattered on the sea, which was golden waves, so quiet, so peaceful.
"It's finally over. Charlie sighed.
"Thank you Charlie. Qianxue smiled at him, revealing a row of white and neat teeth.
The eyes of the two couldn't help but touch each other, and they had experienced a catastrophe together, and they both felt that there were more indescribable things out of thin air.
Qianxue sighed with emotion: "It's just afternoon, I feel like I've spent the night in the storm!"
"yes!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind the two.
Charlie opened the door and saw Qingtong's smiling face.
"It was quite a lot of movement just now!"
Qian Xueqiao blushed, stepped forward, and shook her arm: "Sister Qingtong, you still laughed at me, you were scared to death just now." ”
Qingtong smiled: "You are already lucky, I just saw a lot of people with bruised noses and swollen faces, embarrassed, look at your current situation is not bad." ”
Qianxue smiled and said, "It's all Charlie's credit." ”
Charlie greeted her, "Qing Tong, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but it seems that something has happened to the ship, the wind and waves are too strong, and there is a problem with the hull protection, and I need to go to the nearest island to resupply and find the right accessories, otherwise, it will be dangerous to have another storm like this. ”
"Huh?!, so serious. ”
At this moment, the captain's voice sounded again, and it was the news that Qing Tong said.
