246 Threesome's Journey to the Sea (M)
The day of the voyage was a fine day, and apart from a few dotted clouds, the sky was as pure as a sapphire. And on the endless sea level under the sky, the Lilian trio is operating the Blue-Eyed White Dragon like ants, slowly driving on the sea.
"It's really hard to sail a sailboat on the sea." With the help of Yukikaze's guidance, Lilian continued to operate the steering wheel, allowing the Blue-Eyed White Dragon to move forward in a straight line. At the same time, Bai Fei also helped Yuki operate the sails, so that the Blue-Eyed White Dragon could sail on the sea at maximum speed.
Although they were in a hurry for the first time and almost ran aground on the beach with the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, as time progressed, the three of them quickly mastered the essentials of sailing, and now they are as skilled as sailors who have been begging for a living at sea for several years.
I don't know why, after the great changes in heaven and earth, the direction of the wind on the sea has become a little strange. If it was on the original sea of the earth, it might have taken a few hours to change the direction of the sails, but now even if the wind is calm, the wind on the sea is as unpredictable as it is during a storm.
This not only led to an increase in the workload of Bai Fei and the others, but also made Lilian, who had adjusted her course, have to make some minor adjustments without a period of time, so as to ensure that the course of herself and the others did not deviate.
As for the night, what to do? The answer is very simple, because none of the three of them are ordinary humans, even if Lillian, whose race is still human, is also a non-human existence for ordinary people, so it doesn't matter if the sailboat is not sleeping at all in the days it is scheduled to plan.
However, the good news is that the size of the sea breeze has never been smaller, so the speed of the Blue-Eyed White Dragon is not bad, and it can reach the target sea area in less time than planned.
"Lillian, is it really okay?" With a hint of concern, Bai Fei asked, "According to the previous situation, the attacks of sea beasts will probably not be less, just such a wooden sailing ship......"
"Don't worry." The distance between Bai Fei and Lilian was only three or four meters, even if the distance was longer and there was more noise, the two of them could clearly hear each other's words, "I have made these woods before, and it is no problem to treat them as alloy materials." In addition, I said before that the magic array I depicted is stronger than the ordinary warships of World War II! ”
"However, defense alone won't work." Yuki also said worriedly, "Haven't we encountered a lot of monsters with special attack methods before?" I don't think the sea beasts we've encountered don't have any special attacks. ”
"So, the most important thing is that I have carved a magic array for breath concealment on this ship!" Lilian said to Bai Fei and Yuki with a proud face, "As long as we don't provoke each other or make any big noise, those sea beasts under the surface of the sea will not find out about us, and will only treat the Blue-Eyed White Dragon as a large pile of wood floating on the water!" ”
As Xuefeng's personal disciple, Lilian naturally learned from Xuefeng's hand the aura obscuring magic array that was used on the T.P.H.E. work platform. And the effect and practicality of this array of drawings have been proved by the working platform located at an altitude of 30,000 meters from the Qingyan White Dragon.
Thinking so, since Lilian and the three set sail, there has still not been a single sea beast attacking the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, although Lilian and the three have found various sea beasts swimming under their ship more than once.
At first, Yuki and Bai Fei thought it was luck, and the sea beasts passing by were already full. But now that Lilian said the truth~ After the two of them discovered that the almost undetectable magic fluctuations on the hull of the Blue-Eyed White Dragon were originally used for masking, and they also knew that those sea beasts saw themselves together with the hull as a pile of useless wood to eat.
Maybe on the ground, there will be herbivorous monsters interested in wood, and even if they are not interested, there are quite a few monsters that will use wood to sharpen their minions and the like. But in the sea, how can any sea beast be interested in simple wood, and even consider wood as their staple food?
The sea beasts that eat wood as their staple food have long since starved to death, after all, there are no wood-fiber plants in the sea!
After confirming that the sea beast really regarded himself and the others as wood, and was not interested at all, Yuki and Bai Fei continued to operate the sails with confidence.
However, soon Bai Fei, who had the most acute perception among the three (Beast Perception?) He furrowed his eyebrows, and from time to time he looked uneasily at the distant sea.
"What's wrong, Bai Fei?" Yuki, who noticed this, asked suspiciously.
Bai Fei didn't answer directly, but asked with a little anxiety, "The aura obscuring magic array is still running, right?" The whole magic circle is working normally, and there are no mistakes, right? ”
"It's normal, at least in my perception, the magic fluctuations used to mask the aura completely cover the entire Blue-Eyed White Dragon......" Yuki didn't notice anything at first, but soon sensed the reason why Bai Fei was in this state, "Wait, could it be!" ”
"That's right." Bai Fei directly said the answer, "Now in the sea area in front of us, a large group of sea beasts are rushing towards us!" ”
"How much? What about the strength level? Lilian, who also heard it, immediately asked.
"I don't know!" Although it can be perceived, Bai Fei, who can't do such a fine perception, can only say with a bitter face, "The only thing that can be felt is that there are many sea beasts, many, many more!" Presumably, the Blue-Eyed White Dragon will sink the moment they attack! ”
"It doesn't look like there's any need to prepare." After hearing the news, Lilian sighed helplessly, and together with Yuki, she put the weapon that had been taken out back into the carry-on space, and at the same time said to Bai Fei, "Prepare for transformation immediately, we can only give up the Blue-Eyed White Dragon now." ”
“…… Wait a minute! Just when Lilian gave up the rudder and came to Bai Fei and Lilian's side, Bai Fei, who had been frowning since she found a large group of sea beasts, shouted in surprise again, "There is no hostility!" ”
"No hostility?"
"The sea beasts coming this way don't seem to have any hostility...... It doesn't even seem to have the desire to eat! Bai Fei, who had been focusing on the group of sea beasts, said in disbelief.
"What's going on? There is no hostility, no desire to eat, so what are they rushing for what? For Bai Fei's perception, Yuki and Lilian still believe in it. After all, no matter how you say it, Bai Fei takes the warrior route, and has experienced countless battles, and her perception of hostility and the like is still very accurate.
"Could it be ......" Suddenly, Yuki seemed to remember something, and immediately ran to the side of the boat, putting all his perception into it, "Some of the sea beasts on our side are diving quickly!" Bai Fei, are there any species in the sea beasts that rushed over that can dive into the deep sea? ”
At this time, the sea beast group was already very close to the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, so Bai Fei and Lilian had already gotten enough information from the perceptual feedback. After realizing something as well, the two of them immediately swept through the sea beast herd.
"There are no deep-sea species!" "Didn't find it!"
So, the final result was confirmed.
"Left full rudder! Follow the sea beasts! Full sails! Top speed! ”
Lillian immediately rushed back to the aft attic of the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, where the rudder was located. And Bai Fei and Yuki also immediately began to adjust the direction of the sail.
Just when the Blue-Eyed White Dragon began to turn around, it was supposed to be a good day to go out for a picnic, but in the blink of an eye, it was overcast, as if it was about to start a heavy rainstorm.
In the end, though, it wasn't a torrential rain, it was a huge tornado!
Although there was still a considerable distance from the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, the three of them really looked over and had the illusion that they were at the foot of this tornado. Because the cross-section of this tornado is already like a city wall, and the space inside is more than enough to fit a city.
This huge tornado, in just one second after the black clouds overwhelmed the city, appeared and connected the sky and the earth, sucking a huge amount of sea water into the sky.
"Damn, Giant's suit! Give it to me! "The direction of the huge sea water caused the rudder to turn as expected. Lilian immediately took out the alchemy suit that was made by the maker in her carry-on space, and with the huge increase in strength, she successfully made the Blue-Eyed White Dragon begin to turn in the direction that the sea beasts were running.
"Left! No, on the right! Come back some more! Ah no, some of the past! "The wind direction, which was already uncertain, became even more chaotic from the moment the giant tornado formed, causing Yuki and Bai Fei to adjust the sails almost all the time.
"No! That's not enough speed! We can't get rid of tornadoes! Yuki, who was at the stern of the boat to adjust the spinnaker at the stern, shouted to the other two after glancing back.
"The wind is getting too fast!" Just when Bai Fei was making a bitter face, Lilian suddenly shouted, "Wait, lower the sail!" Lower the sails now! Take the sails back! ”
That's right, at this time, because it is already within a certain distance of the tornado, the wind direction does not change. But at the same time, the sails don't do anything anymore, unless you plan to accelerate and crash headlong into a tornado.
On the other side of Kawagoe City, including Kiriko, Rifa, and Momoe, Yukikaze and others were in the basement of the Castle Lord's Mansion, watching everything that was happening through the T.P.H.E. working platform in the sky. Although the three of them were very anxious, the three of them were still leisurely watching the video, drinking afternoon tea, and discussing how to improve the working platform by the way.
"It seems that we are going to install more kinds of detection circles and probes on the next work platform."
"There are also extreme climate prediction systems."
"Extreme weather? Let's just install a natural disaster prediction system. ”
"Disaster forecasting? Good idea! However, if you want to predict all natural disasters, the amount of work seems to be a bit large. ”
"It's okay, it's divided into several issues, and the first issue will start with extreme weather."
As for the three Lilian who are in a dire state at this time? If they were killed by ~ so easily, Yukikaze would never admit that they were a member of the Overwatch Dragon.
Although it will suffer a little, since it will be fine, the three of them will naturally not care much about it. (To be continued.) )
