"Woohoo"

The Snow Wind also sounded its strong whistle at this time.

That's the signal to set sail.

The four ships at the head of the column raised their sails and broke away from the flotilla.

String Moon Bay, Sunset Island, Repulse City, Ssangyong Island...... The ships of the Four Great Chambers of Commerce followed behind the Yukikaze and slowly sailed towards the Shadow Sea.

The originally wide field of vision gradually became blurred, and the sunlight dimmed, and it was not more than a kilometer or so, but it was like entering a completely different world.

As the mist covered the deck, Camilla felt the shaking of the hull disappear.

"It happened...... What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, the power unit is just stalling. Margaery seemed to see her doubts, "The most important trick to sailing here is to be slow, if it is a small boat, it is fine, if it is a large boat, it is enough to rely on the speed of the water." You look at the back."

Camilla looked in the direction she was pointing, and the ships of the Chamber of Commerce that had just hoisted their sails were also lowered half-sails, and some of the sails were facing each other, which was definitely not seen in a normal voyage.

A blazing brazier had been erected in front of and behind each ship to mark its position, but even then she could only see the traces of two ships, the outline of the third one completely hidden in the fog, the faint light of the fire like a firefly that flickered on, and the fourth ship as if it had completely disappeared.

"We're going downhill?" asked Camilla, skeptically. After spending some time on the Isle of Sleep, she was no longer ignorant of the sea, and when the rising waters swallowed up the caverns or fissures, swirls appeared on the surface of the water, ranging from finger-thick to large ones that could reach several meters. Either way, the water will converge towards the center of the vortex from all sides, and the closer you get to the end, the faster you get.

She thought that the sea was too wide to clearly feel the change in the current, but now that the fleet had entered the depths of the Shadow Sea, it was a little inexplicable that the water was still so calm.

She even saw algae floating on the water drifting out of the sea!

This means that the direction of the currents has not changed at all, let alone converged towards the bottom of the slope, and there is no sign of turning back, at least in this area!

"It does seem incredible, but that's what it is," Margaery nodded, "If the ebb and flow were caused by a huge whirlpool, we wouldn't have had the idea of exploring it. Because the whirlpool that can affect the entire sea is even deeper than the abyss of hell, and breaking into it is bound to be a dead end. It was because it was so peculiar that Thunder wanted to find out. She paused and looked at Joan, who was staring at the sea, "But there is a limit to human ability, and it is almost impossible to dive to the bottom of the sea, and it is your help that gives us hope." ”

Having said that, but this place is inevitably too weird, Camilla looked at the wet stone pillars and reefs around her, and her heart was faintly close to each other, at least she could see the real form, and those distant reefs were only left with black shadows of different shades, just like ghost claws stretched out in a nightmare.

"Fish, red fish!" cried Joan.

Camilla turned her head and saw a bright red "river" suddenly appear on the right chord of the Snowwind, and although she had been warned by the thunder beforehand, she still felt heartfelt shock when she saw it with her own eyes.

Ghost Red River.

A special passage made of schools of fish!

"Don't smack your lips, the red scaly fish is not delicious. Margaery patted Joan on the head, "Just follow the ghost of the Red River to reach the ruins of the Triangle Tower, Your Highness Tilly should have mentioned to you, inside the ruins there is a strange device similar to a telescope, which can see a vast continent that has never been seen before, and that is the ultimate goal of our voyage." ”

"She did tell me. ”

"It's a pity that our current destination has nothing to do with the ancient ruins, otherwise you would have been able to experience the majesty and wonder of that ruins for yourself. The businesswoman said with regret.

"No...... I'm still exempt. Camilla said decisively, if she could, she would never set foot in the sea again.

"Your reaction is really the opposite of that of Your Highness. Margaery smiled.

After about an hour or so of a slow sail, the Yukikaze docked at the edge of a large island and reef, and then the three-masted ships of the four major chambers of commerce and other ships were at anchor, and the heads of all parties gathered on the deck of the flagship.

"That's a lot," the Snowwind's lieutenant pouted, "I thought you were going to take your boat up some reef and cry for help." ”

"You are not the only ones who have good captains and sailors. The people of the four chambers of commerce naturally did not take it as if they did not hear it, "The steel ship is good, but the people on the ship are not necessarily. ”

"Alright!" the appearance of the thunder interrupted the dispute in time, "It would be the best result to be able to arrive smoothly, and there was no danger on the way, right?"

"No," said the head of the Chamber of Commerce, "this time it seems to be exceptionally quiet, and not even a sea ghost has been encountered." ”

"I also find it strange that there are always one or two unlucky ones who are dragged into the water by sea ghosts. ”

"Or did we choose a route that avoided the ancient ruins, and the monsters preferred to use the ruins as their lair?"

"That sounds like a point. ”

Thunder groaned for a moment and waved his hand to silence everyone, "In that case, then there is no further ado. The low tide lasts until late afternoon at most, so it's best to go deep into the ocean floor before then. If we don't find anything, we'll have to get out before the tide rises, or we'll be trapped in the archipelago waters. He looked at the two witches, "Joan, Lady Camilla, I'll leave it to you next." ”

"Whew. Joan nodded earnestly.

"As long as you can silence these people. Camilla glanced at the explorers angrily, "Declare in advance, I need to concentrate when I make a psychic connection, and if anyone interrupts me when the time comes, don't blame me for not coming back!"

After receiving Thunder's assurance, she put her hand on Joan's shoulder and closed her eyes at the same time, and after a slight dizziness, another image appeared in her dark eyes, which was Joan's vision.

Go ahead, Camilla said to herself, if contact is cut off, or if any danger comes in, you will immediately turn back, understand? Don't be stubborn, your friends are still waiting for you to go back.

At the mention of the word friend, she obviously felt a tremor from the other party, and then her whole spirit became firm, and she knew it!

Joan then leaps backwards and jumps into the water.

A sense of coolness and comfort immediately enveloped Camilla.

The fatigue of the whole body seems to be swept away.

But she knew it was just an illusion, and it wasn't herself who felt comfortable, but Joan who shared Joan's happiness.

"How?" Thunder asked.

"So far, everything is going well, about fifty meters deep," Camilla replied, "and the pillars don't seem to be getting thicker, even on the reefs...... I didn't see anything like the seabed or the peaks of the seamounts, they were all separated. ”

This is her task, although Joan can go underwater freely, but she can't accurately express what she sees, and she wants to know as much as possible what the other person sees, and only the ability to empathize with the mind can do it.

"More than a hundred ...... deep The light darkened noticeably, but the view was still clear. The pillars and reefs are still going on, and there's no sign of going to the end," Camilla muttered under her breath, "Hell, they're a little too long." Maybe the reefs that look like small islands aren't really islands, but ......."

"And what?" someone asked.

She swallowed, "It's just a thicker stone pillar." ”
