Chapter 25: Abandonment of ship
While Hugo and Knight Brown were sitting on the side of the ship chattering without a mouthful, an Arabian dhower appeared at the site of their recent naval battle.
It was a very fast three-masted schoon, with a large number of spinnakers, a smooth hull that received less drag than a Kirk, and the ability to sail in a zigzag pattern against the wind, an advanced seafaring technique that the Europeans had learned from the Arabians.
Now the dnaker sailed to the sea covered with stumps and broken hulls, and the sailing boat, which had been moving at high speed, suddenly slowed down, and a figure in a black cloak stood quietly at the bow of the ship, looking at the messy sea.
At this time, a figure who was also wearing a black cloak walked up from behind him cautiously, it was the dark wizard named Blackfang who had appeared in London Vic to spy on the White Wizard team, he cautiously approached the figure in front of him, and whispered: "Lord Merck, it seems that not only did the undercover failed, but even the Kraken responsible for interception has no news, and now even the Night Wolf Tribe has not been able to take down the ship, there are too many unreasonable places in it! Your plan is perfect, there shouldn't be so many variables!"
In fact, there really shouldn't be such a big variable, first a dark wizard with rich experience in taking compound potions and careful thinking acted as an internal response, there was a kraken in front of him who was responsible for containment, and there was a clipper ship desperately chasing after him, even if something went wrong in the middle, there were nearly 100 Viking pirates under the leadership of a storm knight to make the final guarantee, no matter what, the Kirk ship should not have escaped, but this happened!
Merck quietly stared at the fragments of the ship's hull on the sea, the huge mast floating in the sea, and a large number of wooden tables, chairs and supplies, and said in a very peaceful and warm voice: "Such a plan to deploy Zhou Xiang can have such a change, which means that there are people on that ship who are favored by fate, and in this mortal situation, they can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in death, and the breath of fate on his body must be strong, and he will grow into a great character in the future!"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Then Lord Merck, what should we do?"
"What we have to do is very simple! That is, we will do our best to hunt them down, since there are such people on the opposite side, then we must not be a little bit contemptuous, we must go all out" Merck lowered her head slightly, thought for a while and continued: "Although the Vikings failed, but looking at the situation on the sea, their ship must have suffered unbearable heavy damage, and even the important mast has been lost! It is impossible to go far! And the loss of the ship's crew must be heavy! We must not waste this opportunity."
Merck turned around and walked in the direction of the cabin, and at the same time said: "Throw away all the superfluous things, the oarsman is in position, go full speed, release the magic eye to find the target, we must use all our strength to strike a thunderous blow!
Soon his orders were meticulously carried out, and the sailboat exuded an air of slaughter!
After pursuing the Arabian dhow at great speed for some time, the speed inevitably slowed down, because the oarsmen could no longer support it and could no longer move at high speed.
Sometimes it is difficult to detect whether you are moving or not at sea, because the surrounding environment is always the same blue, except for observing the direction of the sun, it is difficult to know where you are, and it is easy to wonder where you are.
At this time, Merck's heart couldn't help but wonder, could it be that they were too fast to chase over?
The Kirk ship had even a broken mast, and it was impossible for it to go so far? But he quickly ruled out this idea, because the MONOCULUS was soaring in the sky at the moment, and it found nothing, and Merck had the intention to put it farther away, so that the search range was greater, but this ocean was the territory of the demon birds and harpies, and magical creatures like the MONOCULUS were very popular with them, and once discovered, they would be caught as pets and hunting helpers, and these monsters in the sky had an incomprehensible dominance over all the small and medium-sized magical creatures that flew.
According to the research of the 'Dark Witch Power' organization in the past two years, it was found that the innate magic of these harpy banshees is a flying magical beast with a relatively low resistance to charm magic, so if the magic eye flies too far and there is no Merck to take care of it, it is easy to be abducted, which is also the most headache for all demon bird breeders.
But where did the damn Kirk go? It couldn't have sunk! He had a very bad feeling that the wrecked ship was getting farther and farther away from him.
We must not hesitate any longer! We must not waste this opportunity, otherwise how can I explain it to Lord Peverell? I have heard that Grabe's experiment of the Plague Hand has been successful, so I cannot fail on my side!
Thinking of this, Merck did not hesitate, he took out his wand and waved it lightly, the magic eye that was flying high in the air seemed to sense something, circled around the ship, and then suddenly flapped his wings and flew out quickly in the distance.
Find! Find the ship! MONOCULUS! Find it!
。。。。。。。
While Merck was desperately looking for Hugo's whereabouts, the Kirk ship Lilliputian was driving at high speed, and the power of the 20 big sharks was very terrifying, and the magic shark was swimming leisurely on the side of the ship at the moment.
Hugo lay on the deck and teased it, feeling that the difference between this magic shark and the puppy was really not very big, so he nicknamed it 'Flower Face'.
Just as he was looking up at the sky and distracted, a special emotion came into Hugo's mind, Hugo immediately turned over and sat up, he concentrated on sensing the information transmitted by the flower face, and his face showed a solemn expression.
The storm is coming! And a terrible storm!
Hugo got up without saying a word and ran quickly into the cabin, where Saige was by Angelina's side, wagging his tail desperately like a flower face...
"Are you sure, the storm is really coming?" Seg looked at Hugo solemnly, he felt that this escort mission was really unlucky, and the endless troubles came one after another, as if they would never stop.
Hugo nodded, and said very seriously: "Flower face will not lie to me! In less than half a day, a very terrifying storm will turn the ocean over one by one!"
At this time, Ephia slammed open the hatch, her face was a little pale, and he was followed by the hard-hitting Squib Captain, whose face was worse than Ephia's, and his lips were trembling.
"Saige, the captain said that there will be a terrible storm coming soon, and we must find a way right away!"
Saige's eyebrows were squeezed together, his cheeks were shaking suddenly, he glanced at the weak Angelina worriedly, and before he could say anything, Angelina stretched out her little hand and secretly stuck it on Saige's back, leaking an expression not to worry about me.
"We don't even have a mast, we don't have sails, we don't even have a stern building, it's almost impossible to survive the storm, and the only way now is to dock immediately!" Seg made up his mind and made the most correct decision.
"We're going to abandon ship!"
After a moment of silence, the captain suddenly let out a long sigh as if he were ten years old, turned and walked out of the cabin, and went to prepare for the abandonment of ship.
