Chapter 194: The Boiling Ocean
The traditional concept of hell is often based on the theme of fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The battleground that our Imperial Defense Forces are often exposed to is also considered hell, but with the protection of properly fortified grounds, even the most vulnerable flesh and blood have a high chance of survival.
At this time, in Sylvia's eyes, I saw a water-themed hell scene where mortals had almost no room to survive.
Everything was shaking, all spinning, the perspective suddenly threw up and down, and before I could tell what was in the picture, I was already feeling slightly dizzy and vomiting.
It took dozens of seconds for me to get used to the chaotic vision and begin to make some sense of what was around me.
In the silent scene, I saw the huge waves, the steaming mist, and the burning boulders flying from the water into the sky, and then slamming down. And the sea surface is also flooding with huge bubbles, and it is actually boiling!
In this hellish scene, the only place for man is a small boat no more than ten meters long, made of large pieces of rough logs, facing the strong wind, spreading its leather sewn sails, and sailing between this hell of sea and fire, sometimes being held high by huge waves, sometimes falling heavily into the abyss, the huge waves on the side like a thousand walls, from time to time boiling water bubbles explode next to it and burst out of large clouds of hot steam, from time to time there are hot red rocks flying out of the nearby sea, and the sky is obscured by huge waves and fog. But there are countless burning stones shining brightly......
The whole world seems to be contained in a boiling cauldron, what life can survive under the power of burning the sky and boiling the sea?
But the rest of the ship obviously wouldn't agree with me. Those ** upper body, only a piece of animal skin around the waist of the burly men, while paddling the sail, while silently roaring and singing, passing each other the skin containing honey wine, suddenly there are huge tentacles deep in the sea on the board, suddenly a few people throw away the oars around it, swing the axe to chop it up, and then happily throw those steaming pieces of meat to their companions......
"The world of Fenris is frozen all year round, but when the planets are close to the sun, there are often earthquakes and volcanic eruptions at the bottom of the sea, old islands crumble apart, and new lands rise from the sea and fire. Fenris has a finite land, and every inch of land is a hard-won living space, and we must fight for these newly-born lands, which is related to the future of a tribe. Sylvia said.
The shock in my heart was doubled - it turned out that it was not a struggle to survive, it was an active expedition!
She added: "On that voyage, I was the helmsman. On that day, even the gods recognized our courage and feasted us on a boiled Kraken tentacle. ”
It's no wonder that the view is at the stern of the ship, with the endless sea on one side and the whole ship on the other.
Disconnected from my psychic connection, I took long, deep breaths, trying not to let my body tremble. At this time, the temperature in the cabin was only a dozen degrees Celsius, which was already a little too cool, but I unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
After just a few minutes of heart-to-heart exchange, I had to admit that in terms of the strength of my heart and the firmness of my will, a specially trained psionic person like me was far inferior to her as a mortal!
I usually rely on my own strength, but it is only relative to mortals. As a shaman who communicates with all souls, I know and revere the power that lies deep underground, and I have no sense of antagonism against it. In the face of the natural catastrophe that upheaved heaven and earth, all I had was fear. And the courage of those Fenris, those who went to hell in the midst of laughter and laughter, and fought against the might of heaven and earth with the flesh and blood of mortals, I am ashamed......
I can't help but feel a little fascinated by that planet that is frozen all year round, and sometimes full of flames, what a strong body and what a tough soul it has forged in that cruel world of death!
"It was also the most dangerous boat trip I've ever had. I've never been in a tougher situation since joining the Navy. However, I think I will encounter it soon in the future. ”
Recalling the reason why she showed me this, just to prove her ability to take the helm, I quickly said, "Yes, I am more and more sure that my prophecy is about to come true." Even the firepower of a battleship could not have been denser than those volcanic rocks. ”
"Unless it's a main fleet with multiple battleships. However, if there are battleships dragging its feet, such a fleet will not be able to catch up with us. If there were only cruisers, it would be nothing more than death in front of me. Sylvia's eyebrows fluttered.
Then she fell into depression again, "But at least there must be a group of crew members who can live and die together, and preferably all of them are Fenriss who have been trained as a strict crew." With these people on our ship right now, it feels very unreliable......"
"Will work out. Didn't your sailors, who were willing to rebel rather than go to war, still take the initiative to fight? With me here, morale and organization won't be a big problem. It's a technical problem that we don't seem to be able to solve. Those Fenris served on the wolf's ship, and they knew a little about the crew. Katachan is much more difficult, they don't know anything about navigation like me. ”
"Why bring Katachan? My existing crew, plus Fenris's brothers, can barely get the ship up and running. The shortage of manpower can basically be solved by passing by a naval base, and there are more crew members who have no ships to board. With an inquisitor by his side, it felt even more unsteady. ”
"Because the Inquisition doesn't dare to snatch the spoils of war from the wolves, it's different from us."
"Do you have to choose one or the other? Aren't they collaborating? ”
"The cooperation is only temporary, I can see that there is a big gap in the concept between them, and besides, the things they are responsible for are not the same, and they will definitely part ways."
"Well, even if you really have to choose one of the two courts...... Why did you have to work with the Demon Tribunal? ”
This is a very complex issue that requires careful analysis. I was silent for a moment to organize the language, and then said, "Add already has a ship, and has a fully formed Sisters of Battle, with such a strong team, if we go to join him, the importance will be a little weaker, don't you say?" Do you like to be a wingman for others? ”
Sylvia nodded, "That's right." If you choose that woman, she's bound to be on our ship. Can you guarantee that she will respect the captain's authority? ”
"Hmm...... I'll try to convince her. She may assign us tasks, but she probably won't interfere with the command inside the battleship. You should have a fleet commander in advance. "I'm not sure about this, the inquisitors have different styles of behavior, and it is impossible to generalize, and Ah Wei's character, after so many years, is definitely not familiar to me.
"But I still think ...... Well, you see, with my status and seniority, it is impossible to name this ship after me. If it had anything to do with the abbey, maybe they'd name the ship the 'Silver Sanctuary' or something......" Sylvia suddenly squirmed.
The root of the word Sylvia comes from "silver", and it is also the name of the ship after herself...... Hey, what's this nonsense? Aren't you afraid that the careful eyes of the Black Temple will trouble you? In the future I predicted, you obviously gave this ship such a modest name as "Long Night Star"!
"I said, do you think Eddie is younger and more handsome than me?" I asked alarmedly.
"You know you're old and ugly, well, it's good to have that self-knowledge. But we Fenris look at people, only to see if they can fight. You seem to be scared of him, you can't beat him, right? ”
"Nothing. Twenty years ago, if I hadn't covered him, he would have starved to death on a black ship. "I'm not ashamed to say it.
"That's good...... Then you insist on choosing the Demon Tribunal, you won't have that kind of relationship between you, right? Sylvia asked casually, pretending to be nonchalant.
How can I allow such slander to exist? In this case, the words were pale, and I simply glared at her, turning my rebuttal into a mental shock and passing it on to her.
"Well, I understand that you don't have the guts to provoke the Inquisitor, so tell me about the person you dare to provoke? You're willing to abandon our cooperation for her, at least I want to know who the other person is, right? ”
How do you answer this? If I just remembered that there was such a person, and I didn't even have time to recall the name, would you think I was perfunctory?
I had to take out my helmet, bring up the picture Arslan had sent me, and snap it on her head, "That's all she has for me." ”
She watched carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said to herself, "Hey, I can't believe you have such a young age." You were really ...... Hmmm......"
It's not hard to guess what she's going to say. More than ten years ago, I was naturally young and handsome, and I came out of a regular college, and I was full of culture, and I was quite favored by the eldest sisters and aunts in the army everywhere - but the advantages in the eyes of ordinary women were obviously not in line with the aesthetics of the Fenris.
After a few moments, she took off her helmet and gave it back to me, "Is there really any more?" ”
"It's really gone." I was hesitant to tell me that I had forgotten her name.
"Oh, that's good." She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been relieved of a lot of pressure, and said no more.
That's it? I had another trace of doubt.
"It can be seen that, first, she is older than me, second, she is not as tall as me, and third, maybe she is emotionally important to you, but she is definitely not as useful as me." She stated in an indifferent tone, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I was surprised that she was so open-minded.
"But you still owe me, you know?"
