Chapter 470: Why is it always a tower?
Lightning is not a real object, and of course it cannot be used to hit water like a stone, but now, the arc of electricity is really bouncing on the surface of the water.
"There's magic protection on the water, too?" Phil guessed.
Shut up and flap its wings, swooping down towards the surface of the sea, of course, as a parrot and not a seagull, it didn't want its feathers to get wet, but circled close to the water, looked at it a little, and flew back again.
Lukka released a few magic streams to probe it, and then denied this statement: "It's not the surface of the water, the composition of the sea in this area is a bit special. β
"Specialβwhat's special?" asked Phil, looking up in the direction of the deck.
"Is the entire sea water filled with magical energy?" Shut up asked.
"It's true that the sea contains some magical energy, but it's not abundant, at least not enough to bounce lightning. The special place is not this. Luca replied.
"What's the reason for that? I don't see anything out of the ordinary. It tilted its head.
"You flew so close and didn't see it yet?" Lukka asked.
Shut up and shook his head blankly.
"Alright," Lukka said, turning back to Daniel behind the steering wheel, "drop anchor, and you'll see what's wrong." β
"Anchor here?" Daniel looked confused, "It's deep sea here, and the anchor chain isn't so long, so you can't touch the bottom of the sea." β
"You know, I'm not going to stop the boat," Lukka said, "just throw that lump of iron down." β
"Okay. Daniel knew that he had never been able to keep up with the captain's train of thought, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he opened the huge wrench on the winch.
The weight of the cast iron anchor is really not light, even Ollie can't lift it, so usually the anchor is retracted by the winch on the deck to pull the anchor chain. Now that the winch is no longer secured, the iron anchor quickly slides off the side of the ship, and it stands to reason that in this deep sea, the iron anchor will continue to sink until the length of the anchor chain reaches its limit.
But this time, the winch had just turned less than two times before it stopped slowly, which showed that the momentum of the iron anchor sinking had been abruptly stopped.
Everyone walked to the side of the ship and leaned over to look at the anchor chain in the direction of the bow.
"Floating...... Floating?" Daniel's tongue was a little knotted.
The three-meter-long iron anchor was attached to the iron chain, which hung down from the anchor compartment in the bow of the ship, and after touching the seawater, it only sank about a third, and most of it floated on the water, swaying with the breeze.
"This water is thicker than mud, isn't it?" said Ollie.
"Well, people can't sink anyway. Lukka nodded, then immediately added, "However, I don't recommend you to jump down, who knows what's in it?"
Fortunately, he said it in time, and Gavin, the goblin, took half of his legs, and when he heard this, he quickly retracted it.
Of course, Finch the mayor of the dwarf town will not miss any opportunity to attack with words: "Jump! Why don't you jump?
"Timidity is a virtue!" Gavin scoffed, "Besides, why don't you jump?"
"I'm on duty!" Finch said, holding his mop in his hand and holding his head high.
"Okay, okay, you two are arguing over there. Ollie drove the two guys to the stern.
Shut up and tilted his head to think for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You can detect the density of sea water with magic?"
"Of course not," Lukka smiled and shook his head, "I saw you flying down." You see, your wings are so hard that the ripples on the water are half dead, and I guess the water is different, so let Daniel drop anchor and try it. β
"Is it related to the fact that our boat can't get up because of the dense water?" asked Ollie.
"I guess so, but I don't know what this sea water is made of, but I really want to take a good look if I have time. Lukka wasn't too worried about the water, after all, for so many years, ships in the boiling sea had come and gone in the Tower of Calm, and he hadn't seen any of them towed to the point where they couldn't move at all.
"You don't need to be reminded," Ollie pointed to the platform on the next deck, "Phil has already filled several bottles, and his equipment is about to start work again." β
"Let's hope it turns out. "Luca is not very confident, Phil's instruments are also powerless against many things, the Yaga that was handed to him last time is the kind of concentrated gas that comes out of the seabed, and he has analyzed it for more than a month and still has no progress.
Although the sea slowed down the Silent Reaper, it did not stop her completely, and when she entered the range of the calm sea, she was already very close to the calm tower. After a day of drifting on the sea, a tall white tower finally came into view.
Lukka sighed softly: "Why is it always a tower? It's just that the mages like to live on the tower, and the sea knights have to build the tower, and now even a place to store valuables has such a tall tower, and there is no elevator, I really want to exhaust people." β
"What is an elevator?" asked Daniel.
"It's something like a ladder on our boat, powered by electricity. Lukka replied casually.
"Is that how electricity is driven?" Thea said, sending an arc of electricity into the air, sending a barrel on the deck four or five meters into the air.
"I don't understand you," Lukka shook his head, "anyway, I'm annoyed when I see the tower." β
"At this rate, you'll have to drift for at least three more days, so you might as well exercise well. Ollie suggested.
"Don't, my back hurts, and I can't climb. I'd rather get some rest. Lukka waved his hand.
"It's too rushed, our ship has never been so slow!" Thea even wanted to fly over herself, but she suppressed the urge considering that her form was too eye-catching.
The Tower of Calm was ahead, and the more anxious the people on board, the slower the speed of the ship appeared.
As the distance drew closer, Lukka looked at the tower more and more confused, and he took the farthest telescope from Crete and looked in the direction of the White Tower.
After a few seconds, he grabbed the wood spirit Doran and asked, "Didn't you say it was a stone tower?"
"Huh?" Dolan looked puzzled, "I said it was a tower, when did you say it was a stone tower?"
Luca thought about it carefully, and the other party didn't seem to mention the material of the tower, but he had a preconceived idea that this kind of building must be a masonry structure.
But even if it's not made of stone, the white building that appears in the telescope can't really be said to be a tower.
Of course, judging from the appearance alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "tower". However, at the top of and around this tower, there were countless branches with young leaves, and the thicker branches were more than enough to hold a Silent Death on top of the telescope.
This so-called tower of calm is simply a towering tree with a white trunk.
