The trouble that Qili said was quickly noticed by the other two. I'm afraid it's hard for them not to notice it. It was a terrible noise from behind the Misty Seas, rising above everyone's heads with the eerie drop in the water around the Damned Lady. Even the witch's ship could not resist the forces of nature, and in the face of the power of the tide, anyone would have the idea of being unable to resist. Growing up by the sea, Kiri and Peg quickly realized the consequences of this anomaly.

Tsunami, the catastrophic wave that usually occurs only in offshore areas. But if the expansion of the Misty Sea is not just blindly outward, but also towards the Bay of Lost Heart, then the appearance of this tsunami does not seem so abrupt. It even explains why there are so many huge sea monsters in the vicinity, and they did not come here voluntarily, but were brought to the sea by the huge force of the tsunami. Of course, those in the area affected by the tsunami do not have the time or heart to analyze this.

"Hell hell, hell hell!" Peg called hysterically as he ordered the Cursed Lady to put away its sails. That's all the diminutive captain can do in the face of a tsunami. At this time, Networm and Qili are trying to transport the valuables in the captain's room to the cabin. Given the high risk that the entire ship would be submerged in the torrent in the future, the hull would inevitably be damaged, and the area outside the cabin would be unsafe.

Of course, it is more important to strengthen the cabin than to carry supplies. It's not like that's a simple matter of chaining a few chains to guard against invisible nocturnal lizards, as was the case before. The mercenary and her pet rushed to repair the hole in the deck with prepared or simply removed wood from elsewhere. The spider silk has greatly accelerated the progress of the project, but there is no guarantee that the silk thread will perform so reliably in the sea.

The sound of the sea grew louder and louder, and shadows like high walls approached from behind the ships. It wasn't long before the moment when the Damned Lady was swallowed up by the waves of the tsunami. The networm nailed the last plank, and she felt as if she were standing in front of a large waterfall, and all she could hear was the deafening sound of water. The mercenary quickly ran to the hatch after finishing her work, and locked the hinges tightly as she entered, as if she was afraid of leaving a gap and letting the sea water pour in. But it is not enough to simply close the hatches, as ships sailing at sea never seal the decks completely, so that the air in the lower space becomes completely uncirculating. But now, some trickles have formed small columns of water along the joints.

"If this continues, we will be drowned in the cabin before we are swept up by the tsunami. The webworm tried to command the giant spider to block the entrance to the water with its silk, but the resilience of the webs still seemed insufficient in the face of the invisible current. The mercenary sat on a pile of straw in a daze, not knowing what else she could do to save the near-mortal future.

"Don't worry, this Damned Lady isn't as fragile as you think. Peg said as he walked over to the thickest pillar in the center of the cabin and stretched out his fingers to scratch on it. At the same time, a large number of unknown symbols hidden in the texture of the wooden planks began to become clear, densely covered with candlelight on the four walls of the cabin.

Kiri threw herself headlong into another pile of hay, seemingly unfazed by the impending disaster. She leisurely looked at Peg's inscription on the activation ship, and naturally swept her gaze to Lothar, who was also tied up here. "Is it my delusion, or is our Lord Count suddenly quiet?"

After being reminded by the witch, the networms realized that since they discovered the tsunami, Lothar, who was like a wild beast, had never made any sound, and just lay quietly in the hay. The mercenary felt that this was wrong, and quickly got up and walked to the Count to check his condition, but saw that Lothar was sleeping peacefully in such a noisy environment. His expression was extremely calm, completely devoid of the violent atmosphere of the previous days. It was obviously unreasonable, but at the moment neither the networms nor the witches had the energy to care about Lothar's problems, and their hearts were completely touched by the waves on the deck, which had risen as high as mountains.

"Frozen!" Peg's activation was already in its final step, and as she screamed, the seawater that flowed down the cracks in the deck instantly solidified under the influence of magic, and the cobwebs mixed with the previous cloth turned into an ice seal. Although the temperature in the entire cabin has dropped a lot as a result, it is certain that there are no visible gaps that will seep into the seawater, and the only question is whether the hull can resist the pressure of the sea water with a thin layer of ice if the whole hull is pressed into the water.

"There was enough air and food in the cabin for three days, and if we didn't get out of the tsunami or were thrown ashore after three days, we would really have to fight to the death. Peg let out a heavy sigh and announced the deadline for which the ship would be able to provide them with shelter.

The mercenary touched the ice on the deck with her hand suspiciously, and after feeling the coolness, she said, "Do tsunamis occur very often in Heartless Bay? A wave of this level should be enough to destroy any city, how did you build a city in this environment?"

"It's not that hard. I don't know how the people before the witches fought the tsunami, but for us, the tsunami was like a storm that came every few years. Qili was intrigued by the tsunami and sat up from the straw pile, "The Krakens will warn us of the arrival of the tsunami very early, and everyone can evacuate in an orderly manner." The wealthier ones tend to have their own shelters in the mountains around them, while the poorer ones take advantage of the tsunami to take a boat to the sea and stay until the tsunami passes. Of course, those tickets are not cheap. But the good thing is that the tsunami will take all the corpses, so the corpse movers will have a holiday in those days. ”

"What about the houses, you can't take them with you to the mountains or to the sea, can you?"

"Haha, of course not. Therefore, all the houses that have lost their hearts are made of wood except for the stone foundation, so that even if they are destroyed by the tsunami, they can be quickly rebuilt as long as the foundation is still there. And when it is rebuilt, it can also provide a large number of jobs, and after each tsunami, it is simply the most peaceful day in Lost Heart Bay. ”

"But after the tsunami, it was also a time for the various forces in the city to redivide their territory. Every time we rebuild, some forces disappear forever. Oh, after all, there is never a time when Heartless Bay doesn't bleed. Peg received it after Qili's explanation, and his words were full of disdain for his hometown.

"Boom!" interrupted the small talk of several people as they looked up at the ice that sealed the cracks in the deck. The ice that used to be white has become a darker color. The slight discomfort in their ears also reminded them that the Damned Lady had been completely swallowed beneath the surface by the waves.
