Lear felt that he was really unlucky.

From the port of the border city, it is expected that the island called Mondo will arrive in five days, which is the original destination of Lear and Landrig after careful discussion.

Mondo is an island near the Antaglisi mainland, about 20 miles long from east to west, about 8 miles from north to south, there are probably less than 2,000 aborigines on the island, and there is a group of pirates of about a few hundred people entrenched in the high ground east of the island.

This group did not belong to the Port Clan, but they were also a force to be reckoned with in the coastal seas, at least in the years they had occupied Mondo, and the warships sent by the Earl of Parrington to exterminate and the emissaries sent by the Port Clan to recruit them had nothing to do with them.

In addition to the abundant trees and stone resources on the island, there is also a large group of sea eagles living in the caves of the central cliffs, Landrig said that the leader of the group of pirates is named Ilore, he has the ability to communicate with these giant birds, usually the pirates and these giant birds coexist peacefully, and if there is a fight, the sea eagles will rush out of the nest to help the pirates, and even many times, the aborigines of the island will become Ilore's helpers.

And Lear chose him as his target.

With his current strength, it is impossible to go to the towns of the Fish-Man and Pirate Nation in the deep sea, so this lone trio naturally becomes the best choice, especially since he also occupies an island with relatively rich resources, as for the gap in combat power, as long as there is no naval battle, Lear feels that he can fully stand on land.

The good thing is that as long as they can successfully land, then even if he and Ilore fight the world on Mondo Island, no one will take care of them, so before setting off, he also specially told Landrigo to try to avoid conflict with anyone at sea.

However, as his disguised merchant ship sailed for Mondo, the accident he feared most befell in the dead of night.

Storm.

Almost without warning, as if the legendary spellcaster had dropped a spell high in the air, and the calm sea suddenly shook violently as if a heavy depth charge had been dropped, and even the oldest sailor like Landrig did not know why, which reminded Lear of the time when Sylvia stood on the deck and looked out at the horizon at dinner, and then tried to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

The fierce storm shook the sea like a carpet, and with it a torrential downpour, raindrops the size of broad beans fell on the deck and hull with a 'tuk-tuk' sound, and if they fell on a person, it hurt as if they had been hit by a stone.

In the face of this wild force of nature, no magic or fighting spirit was useless, and Landrig shouted and rushed to the deck, commanding the sailors to put away the sails, lower the masts, and tie everyone standing on the deck with twine, the chief helmsman was thrown into the dark waters at the first moment of the storm, and the current second helmsman had to be able to hold the steer firmly with the help of Haag.

A huge wave several meters high slammed into the left side of the merchant ship, although the helmsman turned the rudder to the right at the first time, using the inertia brought by the impact of the huge wave to avoid the crisis of being overturned by the continuous waves behind, but the furious ocean still tore a nearly half-meter crack on the left side of the ship, and the turbulent sea water immediately poured into the bilge, and the huge force instantly tore the crack even bigger.

"Go to the bilge!

Landrigo yelled at Lear, who was standing at the door of the cabin and trying to hold on to the door frame, he was the boss at this time, and Lear was just a magician who was waiting to be sent, Lear immediately applied a light body technique and healing to himself and rushed to the bilge, if it weren't for the experience of drifting on a large ship in his previous life, just with the violent shaking of the hull now, he could vomit and lie on the deck and couldn't get up.

By the time he reached the bilge, the gap had been torn open by the sea, more than a meter long and nearly half a meter wide, but fortunately, Landrig had enough experience to repair the merchant ship and additionally reinforced it in several important places, so that he could still maintain the ability to survive in the storm.

"Ice freezes!"

A blue magic scroll appeared in Lear's hand, he needed to seal the gap immediately to prevent it from expanding, another use of the Ice Ring was undoubtedly the best option right now, as for the water that was almost up to his knees in the bilge, he could only wait for this storm to pass before cleaning up.

A layer of white gas appeared on the wooden planks around the rift and quickly spread and closed in the middle, but the inverted seawater was like a large spraying machine placed outside the breach, and the speed of the cold spread was not comparable to the momentum of the influx of the seawater, although the sailors kept trying to plug the gap with floating buckets, but the power of magic was obviously not enough to completely freeze the terrible breach.

"Ice freezes!"

After casting this magic again, the magic scroll in Lear's hand instantly turned into a ball of powder, and the scroll that had exhausted its reserve magic power would be like this, and Lear didn't care about feeling distressed at all now, in the face of this situation, other spells were useless at all, he couldn't summon a fireball or shake the earth and collapse the ship directly.

After draining two scrolls in a row and casting four ice spells, the terrifying rift was finally covered with a thick layer of ice, and the sea was blocked because the ice had coalesced into one with the hull, but that didn't mean the crisis was over.

The breach still exists, and the power of ice and magic will always dissipate, and if the storm lasts too long and they can't find a port to rest in, they won't be able to escape the end of the sea.

"Here!"

Landrig yelled again, but this time Adela arrived, and the new breach was quickly blocked by the two mages working together, and Landrig called the first mate and told him to stay in the bilge and observe, and if anything went wrong, let the magician immediately plug the leak, and he himself had to go to the deck, without which it would be difficult for the helmsmen and sailors to deal with a storm of this magnitude.

The first mate named Giggs looked at the two magicians with some fear, he never thought that he would one day be able to command the two mages to replenish the ship, but Lear and Adela obviously didn't have the heart to worry about these things with him, and after nodding to each other, the first mate led the way and began to inspect the bilge.

This night, Lear and Adela released a total of thirteen spells and repaired seven inverted rifts, but fortunately, the keel of this ship was still strong, and it was not damaged in a storm of this intensity, otherwise the two mages could only sigh if they raised a few levels, until Adela exhausted all his magic power, and Lear also felt a little dizzy and tired, the hull of the ship, which had been shaking violently, finally stopped.

Lear walked all the way up to the deck with a wooden ladder in stagnant water, only to find a red sun slowly rising from the sea level, gentle and far-reaching, caressing the wounds that the night of raging sea had brought to the world.

"Where are we now?"

Lear walked over to Landrig, who was slumped under the mainmast, to which the man had tied himself with a thick hemp rope, and had fallen asleep with his head hanging before Lear could speak to him.

"I don't know, we've strayed badly from our original course, the only clear news now is that we've been carried further north by the crosscurrent, and I've just gone down to check that if we can't find a land landing in half a day after your magic has dissipated, then we'll all have to go to the sea to feed the fish. ”

It was Sylvia's voice, and although her face looked just as pale and tired, the light in her eyes was much brighter, so it looked like Landrig was really old.

"I can cast a few more spells, and if I start meditating now, I should be able to sustain more. ”

At this time, there is no need to hide secrets, Lear frankly told his bottom line, about navigation, he can only pin his hopes on the two people in front of him.

"Then we can probably hold on for another half a day, and your spell will also destroy the wooden structure of the ship's hull, and there will be no need to repair it after it is completely decayed. I'll find a way to find land in a day, now you go and rest, I need to determine where you are first, and if necessary, I'll have someone wake you up. ”

With that, Sylvia began to walk towards the lookout pole, the broken needle of the compass on her wrist swaying wildly with her steps, and when the instrument was out of effect, the sailors had to rely on experience and intuition to find the right way.

The early sun is getting warmer.
