"How can this help. With a few people gathered around the control platform, Catherine looked at the captain who was sweating profusely but was still trying to control the floating boat, and asked anxiously, "What can we do?"

"River, no, that guy he's destroyed a lot of floating circles. The captain quickly replied: "The balance of the floating ship has been disrupted, and now the forces floating in the front and back of the ship's side are asymmetrical. I am barely trying to keep the floating ship from turning on its side, but forcibly maintaining balance in this way will cause the entire hull to break in the air, and the most important thing now is to manually close and destroy the symmetrical circle of the magic circle, so that although the floating power is weakened, the balance can be restored. ”

"Then let's go close the circle now. Catherine asked, "Do you know which ones to close, Captain?" ”

"I don't know. The captain shook his head and said, "You have to find the destroyed circles before you can know the corresponding ones for each circle." ”

"No kidding, it's too late. Vivien looked around and said to the captain, "Captain, you can directly terminate all the functions of the circle now, you should be able to control it here." ”

"You want to artificially put the ship into a falling state, and then automatically activate the deceleration and weight reduction circle to make a forced landing, no. The captain said, "The sails are still hanging, and if you close all the circles, the floating ship will lose its balance and start rolling forward, absolutely not."

"Then lower the sails. The ship's swaying became more and more severe, and Catherine cried out anxiously, "Why don't you lower the sails?"

"I couldn't lower it, and the system of lowering the sail was destroyed. For the first time, the old man felt that he was indeed old and his brain was no longer enough: "I gave the order to lower the sails, but the operator tried several times, but there was no response at all." ”

"What about the manual lowering of the sails. Catherine asked, "Can't people climb up now?"

"It's shaking so much. The captain shook his head vigorously: "Look at the people under the mast, they have tried several times, and they fell down after climbing up to five meters, and one of them almost fell off the boat." ”

"Vivien. Catherine held her balance on the table with one hand, and shouted as she held Vivien's body with the other.

"Understood. Vivien let go of her hands and balanced herself with Catherine's hand, her staff raised and aimed at the sails of the wind circle on the mast that were rusted with colorless Rann magic wires.

"Are you going to burn the sails?" shouted the captain.

"Obviously, there's only one way. Vivien exclaimed, "I know that sail is very expensive, and those thousands of magic circles are worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but it is better than destroying the whole ship after falling." ”

"Not the problem. The captain smiled bitterly and said, "Who cares about the gold coins now, the problem is that if you want to burn the sails, it is better to burn them from the bottom up or from the top down, and don't start from one side or the other." Now I've reached the limit of my control here, and if I start burning from the side, the ship will definitely become a spinning top. ”

"That's a nuisance. Vivien stomped her foot angrily, the magic on her staff dissipated, and she began to brew another large-scale magic again, while shouting at the highest volume: "Those people below, don't want to be burned to death, go away." ”

The few people who were gathering under the mast and were thinking of a way looked back, and when they saw Vivien holding the staff high, they were stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted to what she was going to do, and instantly scattered and fled. Vivien snorted dissatisfiedly, and the staff with condensed magic began to draw spells in the air, and more and more fire element elements condensed the staff from all directions. Just as the elements had condensed to the apex and Vivien's spell was about to be cast, the sails, which had eaten the wind, suddenly detached from the top of the mast, fell down the slides on the mast layer by layer, and quickly descended back above the deck under the action of gravity. The circle on the sail was deformed by the folds created by the lowering of the sail, and then lost its magic effect, and the wind element gathered by the circle quickly escaped, causing the speed of the floating ship to quickly decrease, and finally stopped moving forward and was suspended in the air.

Looking at the top of the mast from afar, Catherine laughed and found that Pannis had returned to her usual lazy appearance, hanging upside down on the top of the mast with her feet, dangling along the shaking of the floating boat, like swinging, and waving to this side in the shaking.

"This guy is so annoying, even a demigod still makes people want to beat him so much. Catherine's words were harsh, but there was a smile on her face. Wait until the floating ship has completely stopped, and then say to the captain: "It's okay, turn off all the magic circles." By the way, what about the rest of the ship? Are the passengers, your technicians, and Maggie and her attendants, all right, why haven't you seen any of them? Are they all back in the cabin?"

"Don't worry, from the moment you start passing through the Rinkeze Pass, you have already asked all passengers to go back to their cabins, this is the rule. "The hull of the floating ship suddenly shook violently again, and although the shaking of the front and back and left and right began to slowly weaken, it was obvious that the hull was descending rapidly. However, the captain relieved himself of his hand from the console, stood up straight and said to Catherine, "Trust our technicians and attendants, they are well-trained veterans and can do their job without instructions. The waiters must be calming the passengers right now, and the technicians must be preparing for the shock right now. ”

"Earthquake-resistant?" asked Vivien, beside her, "Even with slowdowns and weight reductions, can't they completely counteract the force of the fall?"

"Unfortunately, it is not possible to fully offset. The captain shook his head and said: "But there won't be much of a problem, at most it is equivalent to falling from a height of about ten meters, although it will cause serious damage to the bottom of the hull, but the people on board will not be in danger, and the overall structure of the ship is fine, so it will be easier to repair in the future." Thank you for the results we have now. ”

"Don't thank us, we didn't help anything. Catherine smiled reluctantly and said, "No, it's not so much that we didn't help, but that the current situation is largely due to us." ”

"No, I don't fully understand what happened, but I do understand the general situation, after all, I was listening while you were talking. Although the captain's back was still straight, his expression looked much older, and he sighed with a lonely look in his eyes: "That dry corpse just now should have killed the old fellow River, and then dressed up in his flesh and blood to pretend to be him, wanting to snatch the ship, but it was only because he was afraid of the existence of a few of you that he didn't do it immediately." However, you always have to get off the ship, and when you get off the boat, it should be time for him to do it. Compared with the fact that the floating boat was really snatched away by him, the current situation is already the best result, but it is a pity that the old man died, and there is one less friend to chat with. ”

"I think instead of spending time on emotion, you should see where we're going to fall. Freya leaned on the side of the ship and looked down: "I always think that we will fall into the sea, can this ship sail in the sea? And if it falls on land, the bottom of the ship is pointed, and it won't roll over?"

"There is no navigation function, and it will leak when you enter the sea. And don't worry about rollover, the bottom of the floating ship is flat, and the forced landing problem is taken into account when designing, so although the hull is large and small, it can still be parked against the plane of the bottom of the ship and will not roll over. The captain swayed to the side of the boat during the descent and took a look, quickly made a judgment based on experience, shook his head, and said: "It will not fall into the sea, it will be about two hundred meters on the beach by the sea, and the ground is very flat, there will be no problems." But...... Where is this?"

"Huh?" Freya exclaimed, "You don't know?"

"Oh, I see. The captain carefully identified his surroundings, sighed, and said, "How did you get here?" ”

"Good thing you know. Catherine breathed a sigh of relief: "Is this the coastline?"

"Here...... Be...... One...... Island. Because no one paid attention to him, Pannis hung on the mast in boredom for less than a minute, and then climbed down on his own. Although there were still twenty or thirty meters away from here, he could clearly hear the conversation between several people, and said loudly from afar: "A very big island. ”

"Well, he's right, it's an island. The captain said with a very tangled face: "It's my responsibility, I haven't controlled the direction of the floating ship since you started the war in the air just now, and I actually let it fly all the way here." This is Swordfish Island, five kilometers from the coastline and five kilometers from the Lost Route, which is one of the few large islands where land creatures can easily land. ”

"Well, it turns out that Swordfish Island is here. Lina opened the Adventurer's Guild published the Monster Illustrated Book, flipped through a few pages, and said with a twinkle in her eyes: "It is said that there is a kind of sea and land twin monsters that only exist on this island, I will take a look, it is called the leopard dolphin, the picture looks interesting, let's go find it when it lands, I'm curious." ”

"It's better not to. "Although this island has been developed, because it is a forest island, the forest on the island and the forest on the mainland are the same type, so it is impossible to build artificial buildings and inhabited people. Because of this, there are no fewer demonic beasts in the forest than in the forests on the mainland, and it is very dangerous for most ordinary people on the ship, so it is best not to get off the boat after landing, just wait for rescue on the ship. ”

"Don't say it. Catherine suddenly said, "Immediately landed, ready to ram." ”

With a "boom", the sand scattered in all directions. Although the floating boat made of metal slowed down and forced to land after emergency measures, the moment it touched the beach, it still raised countless dust and sand. At the time of the impact, the screams of the passengers in the cabins below could be heard, even though they were several decks apart. However, as the captain said, the floating boat held up and stood smoothly on the beach after the impact. (To be continued.) )
