As people advance towards something superior in height, they always have the illusion that they will soon reach its feet. But in reality, Lukka stared at the white tower for an afternoon, and the distance was not much closer.

"Captain, I won't be there for a while, so wait another week. Crete said.

"A week, didn't you say three days yesterday?" Lukka asked in surprise.

"Well, yesterday was an estimate," Crete nodded, "but the closer we get to the Tower of Calm, the more viscous the sea becomes, and today is slower than yesterday, and at this trend, a week may be underestimated." ”

"How so......," Lukka muttered, turning back to Nora and asking, "Has this place always been like this?"

"Huh?" Nora didn't expect to suddenly ask herself, and after a moment's thought, she said, "It seems that yes, it is said that thousands of ships in the Tower of Calm must be prepared with a large number of supplies, and this must be the reason. I've never been here either. ”

"Not all boats need it. "Some boats are designed specifically for this part of the water, with a light hull and a smooth bottom, so that they can float completely on the surface of the water, not affected by the resistance of the sea. ”

Lukka thought about it, but still didn't figure out what kind of ship it was.

"Isn't it like the bug called the water strider, the weight of the hull doesn't break through the surface tension of the sea, so you can glide quickly on the water?" asked Phil.

"That's probably it. Dolan didn't know what "surface tension" was, but he had seen it before.

However, such information is not of much use to Luca, and if it is only to make the ship lighter, his spells can come in handy.

However, the bottom of the sailing ship used for long-distance sailing at sea is a smooth spindle shape, the bow has obvious sharp corners to split the waves, and there is a protruding skeleton in the middle of the entire bottom, which is simply designed to break the surface tension.

Therefore, while the boat has a shallow draft here, the resistance of the sea is greater, and as long as there is still a part of it underwater, the Silent Reaper will be slowed down.

"Why don't we float, why don't we just float in the sky?" Nora suggested.

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just a strengthened weight loss technique, but now that the wind is not strong, don't you still have to spin in place when you get to the sky?" Luca said.

"How did the boats Dolan talk about glide so fast?" asked Phil.

"It seems that if you throw something into the water, the boat will drift away in the other direction, I don't know the specifics, it's a secret inside the island of peace. Dolan said.

"Oh," Phil suddenly realized, "Soap boat, the principle is very simple, it's ......"

Lukka waved at him, "No need to explain, our ship doesn't need this." ”

"Then we'll just drift over slowly. Dolan said.

"Not necessarily," Lukka smiled suddenly, "I just awakened the power of plastic energy yesterday, and now it's just right to use it. ”

He walked to the bow of the boat, raised his staff, and chanted a spell against the water in front of him.

The air in front of him cooled, and the sudden change in temperature caused the air around him to begin to flow violently, and a cool breeze blew the half-dead pirate flag.

"I'm afraid this bit of wind isn't enough, right?" Dolan held out his hand and felt the speed of the wind.

"The wind is just a side effect. Shut up and glanced at him and said.

The chill in the air grew stronger, and time seemed to shift from early summer to deep winter in an instant, and in a few minutes, a layer of ice formed on the surface of the sea.

As the spell progressed, the ice in front of it became thicker and thicker, and after a few minutes, a frosty path was formed that led to the island of calm.

It's just that...... The Silent Death was also frozen in ice.

"Idiot mage!" cried out Shut Up, "if you want to slide over the ice, at least lift the ship into the air!"

"Oops, I forgot. Lukka scratched his head.

"It's okay, it's okay, let me do this!" Nora said as she unleashed a dozen bolts of living flame, patrolling back and forth near where the hull came into contact with the ice, and in a few moments, freed the Silent Death from its frozen state.

"Well, who's going to go down and pull it? Just a little bit, as long as you have an initial speed, it's easy to do later. Luca asked.

"Who else?" said Ollie, who else could she shoulder, and with Daniel and the half-giant Linde, she descended down the rope ladder onto the ice in front of her. The three of them worked together, and the giant ship began to move slowly.

As Luca said, once you have the initial speed, you don't need to add any more force later. The protruding wooden skeleton at the bottom of the ship acts as an ice blade, and the huge pressure causes the ice at the point of contact to melt into water quickly, so that the friction is greatly reduced, and the Silent Death slides rapidly on the ice.

But there is another problem with such a gesture: balance. The weight of the whole ship is pressed against a single log less than a meter wide, which constantly sways from side to side in the breeze.

Shut up and waved his wings as he commanded loudly: "It's too heavy on the left! Everyone go to the right side of the boat! No, no, no! Too much, Nora you go to the left! Ollie, don't climb to the boat from the same side, you and Daniel from the right, Linde you go to the left!"

Under its command, the Silent Reaper, although it staggered, did not really fall to one side, and even slid crookedly all the way towards the Tower of Calm.

There weren't many guards on the docks of Calm Island, and when the Silent Death arrived, there were only two skinny wood elves chatting idly against the big rocks on the seashore.

"Isn't the weather going to be good?" said one of them, with short gray hair.

"Yes, it's about to be summer, why is it suddenly cold?"

"I think I should wear more, and look, the sea is frozen!" cried out the gray-haired elf in surprise.

"Freeze, do you have a fever, do you talk nonsense, the calm sea never freezes!" his companion glared at him.

"Don't just stare at me, look back at the water!" the gray-haired elf grabbed his companion's shoulders and made him turn backwards on the spot.

"It's ...... What kind of omen?" The yellow-haired elf was shocked, "Hurry up and notify the tower!"

"Wait, what is that? whale?" the gray-haired elf narrowed his eyes as he watched the dark shadow appear at the end of the ice.

Between the two elves hesitating, the Silent Reaper had slid less than fifty meters near the dock, and after a few more minutes, she was firmly parked next to the dock.

Lukka lifted the magic effect, and the ice melted and disintegrated in an instant, and the huge ship fell back into the water with a "thud", causing a splash in the water, which was difficult to ripple.
