Chapter 10 Set sail, Captain!
The moment the Peregrine Falcon's combined sails opened, Lukaton completely left his attachment for five thousand silver coins behind him into the bay behind him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It was well spent! He stood at the bow of the boat and felt the oncoming sea breeze.
Compared to the speed of the Peregrine Falcon, the Golden Tooth's Rose Princess is a slow sea turtle.
Of course, Miss Maggie is a credit for this, and the six skilled sailors she introduced pushed the ship's speed to the limit.
"Captain Leicester, heading 146, speed 23 knots, fine weather within twenty nautical miles of the vicinity. Crete said, fiddling with a sextant in his hand.
Lukka was confused: "Can you translate it?"
"He's saying we're going southeast now, at a ...... speed Soon anyway. Ollie said as she sat on the ship's side railing, rubbing her whetstone against her greatsword. She had changed out of her silver heavy armor and wore a fitted dark green leather vest over her white shirt.
"Oh, I guess I see. Lukka nodded, "Also, just call me Luka." ”
"Yes, Captain Lester. Crete said as he meticulously wiped down the telescope, compass, and sextant one by one, and neatly placed them back in the toolbox he had brought with him.
Ollie felt the sharpness of the blade with her fingers, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Crete, what's your last name?"
"I don't have a last name. Crete replied.
"How is that possible?" Ollie shook her head in disbelief.
"Twenty years ago, I was strapped to a ship's plank and found on the shore of an abandoned temple in Rifted Rock Harbor, probably some kind of shipwreck survivor. Miss Maggie said that I was about three years old at the time, and I was too lazy to come up with a new name, so they simply called me Crete. Crete said, closing the lid of the toolbox.
"Does the name Crete have any special significance?" asked Luca.
Ollie looked at him puzzled: "Why don't you even know this?
Luka shook his head repeatedly: "I really don't know, tell me about it?"
"Well," said Ollie, pulling a greased box from his pocket and smearing rust oil on the blade of his sword, "it is said that a long, long time ago, a god named Crete created the world, and when he died, three gods were born in his body: Cove, the god of trade and wealth, Merces, the goddess of the sea, and Stowe, the lord of storms. These three are known as the three main gods. ”
"My hometown belongs to the June Alliance, where everyone believes in Covey, and almost every house has a shrine with the image of Covey. Ollie put her sword away and continued.
"What about Crete?" Lukka added, adding to the navigator Crete, "I said the Creator, not you. The name of the deity can be used for whatever it wants?"
"He's dead, so he's no longer a god to be worshipped, but many places still like to name newborns after it, and many islands have ancient temples that belong to the creator, said to have been left by prehistoric civilizations. Ollie replied.
"That's right," Lukka nodded.
Ollie smiled and said to Crete, "Maybe it was Crete's remnants of divine power that gave you the True Eye, Crete!"
Crete nodded expressionlessly: "Maybe." ”
He turned to Luka: "Le...... Captain Luca, I'll look at your map again and check the exact route. ”
"Okay. Lukka walked into the captain's room with Ollie and Crete, shut up and slept on the shelf.
The map lay flat on the desk, and Crete took out the nautical chart he had brought with him and marked it against it.
"This source of mana has moved a considerable distance since morning," he said, taking out a ruler and measuring it carefully, "twenty-seven nautical miles, it must be on board." But it doesn't matter, the Peregrine Falcon is much faster than that. ”
"Of course, this is the whole Sunset Islands, no, the fastest ship on the planet!" Lukka was filled with pride.
"Will you be strict, Captain?" said Crete, sighing softly.
"Anyway, how many ships have you seen?" echoed Ollie.
"There are nuts in the sea...... It's delicious......" Luca's silence startled Luca, and when he looked closely, he was just talking in his sleep.
Crete, however, seemed completely unaffected by the silence, and looked down at the charts.
"What is this?" he said aloud, suddenly raising his head.
Lukka walked over to his desk, only to see a dark purple spot of light on the magic map, located near the Peregrine Falcon.
"Didn't have that just now?" asked Luca.
"Not twenty-three minutes ago. Crete opened his pocket watch and looked at it.
Lukka turned around and grabbed his mouth shut up, shook it vigorously a few times to wake it up, then put it next to the map and asked, "Look, what the hell is this?"
Shut up and angrily gnaw at his hand with his beak a few times before slowly opening his eyes.
All at once the whole bird came to its senses: "Where is this, how far is it?"
Crete measured and replied, "Twenty-one nautical miles from us due east, what?"
"Go! This is a space-time rift!" Seeing that Lukka was still stunned, he shut up and shouted loudly, "It's the kind of thing that brought us through, wormhole! space node! idiot, you understand the portal, right?"
"Can I go back from here?" Lukka realized.
"Yes, get over there!" shouted Shut Up.
Ollie hesitated, as if to say something, but didn't.
Lukka became excited, turned around and said with a smile, "If everything goes well, this ship will be given to you two!"
"What do I want a boat for?" Ollie pouted.
"Let's go and see later. Crete said as he stepped out of the cabin and instructed the sailors to change course.
Turning due east, the Peregrine changed from a tailwind to a crosswind, and although its speed was somewhat affected, it was still much faster than most ships.
"About an hour to get there. Crete told Luca.
"Okay, I'll go get ready. Lukka trotted back to the captain's room with his mouth shut.
"Scrolls! Take out today's scrolls!" he shook his closed wings, and the parrot reluctantly shook its feathers, leaving three scrolls behind.
"Cheese ripening, what is this?" Lukka scratched at his hair, "Can you do something useful?"
"I said I couldn't control it, what can I do if you're unlucky?" Shut up and jumped on his shoulder, grabbing his hair even more.
"I don't know as much as you bird!" Lukka reached for the other two scrolls.
Before he could open it, there was a faint rumbling sound, and the door to the captain's quarters was then slammed.
"Luca, there's a naval battle, there's a fight on the other side!," Ollie kicked the door open, smiling happily.
Lukka took the three scrolls in his arms, stepped onto the deck, and took the telescope from Crete.
In the distant sea, the two ships chased and fled, but the fleeing merchant ship was already injured, and the pirate ship flying the black flag fired round after round of cannonballs in a hurry.
"The portal you're talking about should be on those two ships. Crete affirmed.
