Chapter 88: The Shadow Sea
ββ¦β¦ The Great Father will bless you, and may victory and glory be with your sword and shield. β
"I wish you a long and healthy life."
The heavily armored knight raised his right fist and touched the breastplate on the left side.
Without a solemn farewell ceremony, Connie, who was standing on the dock, gave a knightly salute to Governor Kafka, then turned and stepped onto the deck. Captain Calf stood silently on the dock and waved his captain's hat goodbye to his old friend.
No one knows, this is the right thing to see.
Standing on the deck were more than 200 young men, armed with spears, wooden shields, and dreams of establishing meritorious deeds, waving goodbye to relatives and friends on the dock, and embarking on a journey to the continent on the other side of the sea. Although they may not have even set foot on the continent of Aditya, this does not prevent them from cherishing the dream of becoming a knight.
Lea and Emily stood next to each other in cloaks, hoods hiding their pointed ears. Perhaps because of her first voyage to sea, Emily seemed so excited that her little hands clung to the wooden edge of the side of the boat, and her hooked calves swayed back and forth.
"Don't fall off."
Leia sighed, grabbed her sister by the collar, and pulled her back as she leaned her whole body outward.
With her arms crossed, Ira stood coolly on the side of the ship, looking out at the port of Sevit as she walked away. Originally, she didn't go, but considering the lack of combat power around her, Jiang Feng still took her with her, and the affairs of the tribe were handed over to Xiaobai.
Although the face is not very revealing. bones, but Jiang Feng could feel that Yi Ran's interest in going to sea was no less than Emily's. Especially when standing on the deck and looking at the horizon, Jiang Feng could clearly see from her pupils that there was a trace of curiosity and yearning for the world on the other side of the sea.
At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that she seemed to come from a world surrounded by giant walls.
In this way, this may be the first time she has been in such intimate contact with the sea.
With the sound of a long whistle, the steamer gradually sailed into the blue deep sea.
The farewell crowd on the port of Sevit gradually dispersed, and the boys on the deck also entered the cabin below the deck under the arrangement of Knight Connie. The sailors were also busy walking around under the orders of Captain Kerut.
Because there is no need to consider the influence of the monsoon on the shipping route, except for avoiding some dangerous seas, the White Seagull is heading almost straight towards the continent of Aditya. According to Captain Kairut, if nothing else, the coastline of Aditya will be visible tomorrow before sunrise.
In this way, the voyage that originally took one to two weeks was directly compressed into four days!
Jiang Feng still remembered the excited expression on Captain Kairut's face when he talked to him about it. However, the expression on Jiang Feng's face didn't seem to have much reaction. After all, the ships he used to ride in the past were all light years to calculate the distance, and this kind of ship traveling in a planetary environment, no matter how many pieces he had, was no different from a snail crawling in his eyes.
In this way, two days were spent on the ship.
On the third day, the originally clear sky finally brought a hint of cloud.
"What are you doing in the Earth Federation?" Standing on the deck with the wind blowing, Yi Ran asked Jiang Feng.
Because Leia exudes an aura that no one is allowed to enter, and Yi Ran is reluctant to talk to a little ghost who is younger than herself, Jiang Feng seems to be the only one who can speak, and she is basically talking to Jiang Feng these days to pass the boring sailing time.
"Guess?" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Engineer? Steel mill workers? Ira shrugged, "I've noticed that you seem to be pretty good at ironmaking. β
"It's a bit wrong," Jiang Feng smiled, and after a pause, he continued in a casual tone, "You can understand that my profession is similar to Captain Kairut. β
"Captain? Then why don't you drive the boat yourself? Ira asked.
"The boat I drove may be a little different from the ship you understand," Jiang Feng said with a smile, "It's not sailing in the sea, it's this sea of stars above your head." β
"So you got lost and got the boat here?"
"The reason I'm here is a bit complicated, but it's not something that can be explained in a few words...... In fact, even I was surprised that I was still alive. Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders, he didn't really want to discuss this issue, so he diverted the topic, "I noticed that you seem to be taking a boat for the first time, is there no sea in your place called the Wasteland?" β
"There are no wastelands, it is said that there are outside the giant wall, but no one has really seen it." Blowing the sea breeze, Yi Ran looked at the disappeared island, "Someone once told me that when the rule of the Yanlong Group is overthrown and a new order is established in the wasteland, an army will be organized to fight through the giant wall and take back the outer land from the hands of those strange beasts. β
"That person is fooling you into the revolution. The guy of the Death Army? Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"What do you mean by flickering?" Yi Ran was very dissatisfied with Jiang Fengdi's statement, "I was fed up with those hateful guys, so I volunteered to join the revolutionary army, andββ"
"Wizard-sama."
At this moment, Captain Kairut walked over to Jiang Feng.
Seeing that someone was coming this way, Ira stopped arguing about the other world, left a sentence and said that I would go back first, and then turned and walked in the direction of the cabin.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng asked casually.
"Ahead of us is the Shadow Sea."
"Shadow Seas?"
"That's right, that's where the Kraken is active. Those monsters are very unfriendly to wizards, so please don't use witchcraft until we leave this area, or it could be troublesome......" Captain Kerut cautiously advised.
"Can't you get around them?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's summer, and they don't come to the surface very often unless something catches their attention. Normally, it's better to get around these guys from the side, but now it's a situation where we have to choose between the shadowy sea and the storm. β
"Then the Shadow Sea." Jiang Feng said.
"Yes." Kairou nodded and returned to the bow.
The chimney spewed white mist, and the White Seagull continued towards the shadowy sea.
Compared to the blue sea next to it, the water in this area is significantly darker, which is why the shadow sea is named. Jiang Feng, who was standing on the deck, noticed that under this sea area, there was seagrass more than 1,000 meters long, which was as lush as a swaying forest.
As for the Kraken, he hadn't seen it.
Perhaps, as Captain Kairut had said, the monsters seldom came near the surface of the sea in the summer.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a light rain was falling in the sky.
Just as Jiang Feng was about to return to the deck to take shelter from the rain, the steps he had just taken suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the horizon in the distance.
Faintly, he saw a black dot.
Soon, that one black dot became a swarm.
Captain Kerut, who was standing at the bow of the ship, apparently noticed this, and removed the monocular hanging from his chest, and perched it on the bridge of his nose to look over.
Suddenly, his face turned pale.
His lips trembled, and his voice was filled with horror.
"White crow flag on black background!"
"It's the pirates of Raven Bay!"
With the monoculars tucked into the first mate's chest, Captain Kairut turned and shouted loudly at the sailors on deck.
"Prepare for battle!"
