Chapter 23: Overload
The two clinked their glasses.
Rainwater leaked down the tiny crevices above the cabin, dripping like a curtain hole.
"My lord, if the storm does not stop at two o'clock in the morning, the ship will surely sink. ”
It's eleven o'clock in the evening.
Svecker was silent, he couldn't stand the violent shaking, he drank to force the gastric juice back into his stomach.
Beechcraft walked in.
"That's right, let's have a drink, drink this time, I'm afraid there won't be a next time, Mr. Swift Swordsman. ”
When the disaster came, Svek ridiculed and comforted himself.
"The shrine maiden wants to see you. ”
Sveek paused slightly and asked, "She wants to see me?"
"Yes, she wants to see you. ”
Svecker drank the rest of the bottle in one gulp and threw it away.
In front of Sophia's cabin door, Satsuma and Augustine were guarding, and the guards could not leave an inch without Sveker's order.
Svek stood in front of the door for a moment and walked in.
In the cabin, there is still no light.
He lit the oil lamp.
The light of the oil lamp illuminated a corner of the cabin, and Sophia sat in a chair with her hands flat on her legs and her eyes slightly closed.
She opened her eyes.
Svek really didn't dare to make eye contact with her for long periods of time, especially in the flickering dim light of the airtight and dark cabin.
Every time he collided with her eyes, Svek felt a different mood, and this time, it was as if he had seen the end of annihilation, in the depths of his pupils.
"You're looking for me, ma'am. ”
"The ship is sinking, isn't it. ”
"That's also your credit, the sea poured in through the cracks made by your spell, your purpose was achieved, and I now understand that you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Sophia stood up: "The crack is not enough to sink the ship, the storm, not the biggest storm, the Saint Gois can hold up." ”
Svek laughed angrily: "You go and look at the water in the bilge, you won't say that." ”
"Really?"
"Of course,"
Sophia thought for a while and said, "If the Saint Gois sinks, the biggest root cause will be the hole in the deck, not the crack, and the Vasson is the first criminal to kill you." ”
Sveker: "It's useless to talk about this now, what are you looking for me?"
"I don't want to die. ”
Svek was stunned.
"You're looking for me, that's what you're talking about?"
"Or else?"
Svek yelled angrily, "No one wants to fucking die, and if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be on Alcatraz!"
"You're wrong, chief of the guard, it's not because of me, it's because of the church, you have to go to the church. ”
Sveker waved his hand: "I don't want to argue with you about this now, if it's okay, I'm out." ”
"I'll try to plug that hole in the deck. ”
Well?
"Don't believe me?"
The large hole is oval-shaped, more than six meters wide at its widest point, and no matter what Svek and the captain think, they can't think of any way to plug the hole.
"Okay, you go and try. ”
On the second deck, there is seawater everywhere, and the big hole rises and falls with the sinking and floating of the hull, and every few seconds there is seawater pouring down from the hole, like a waterfall.
Sophia looked up.
"Don't you have a way?"
She turned her back to Sveker and didn't turn for Sveker to hear her chanting a spell.
Around, suddenly, the wind and fog appeared, Sveek was startled, thinking that the witch was doing some conspiracy again, however, then he thought about it, at this time, it was futile to engage in any conspiracy, the ship sank, and everyone was finished together.
Wind, very strange wind.
Circling around, there is a circle ready-made, with a swirl eye in the middle, spinning right in front of Sveker.
Fog, thick white fog, the wind turns to fog with it.
The speed of the whirlpool was not fast at first, and slowly, for some reason, Svek became uneasy inside, he felt that this whirlpool seemed to hide something, and there was life in it.
The speed of the vortex accelerates, and finally it rotates rapidly.
It is rising, gradually rising.
The fog disappeared, and the vortex stopped spinning, turning into an oval-shaped cloud disk.
The cloud disk drifted towards the big hole, paused at the mouth of the hole, and just right, the hole was firmly established.
Sophia stretched out her hand again, and under the cloud disk, a huge green plant grew, like a tree stump, with few leaves, but an astonishing diameter.
Svek stepped forward and touched it, it was the real strange tree, it was holding the cloud disk
Miraculously, the sea no longer fills in.
Beech, Satsuma and the others who followed behind were dumbfounded.
"I can only hold on for four hours, four hours at most, I'm tired and I want to rest. ”
After Sophia finished speaking, she walked to her cabin by herself, and Satsuma whispered to Sveker, "Boss, are we still going to look at her like that?"
Rodin: "Who said she was a witch, Beechcraft, you said it, quietly, what a charitable heart." ”
Beach shrugged, "You think she's willing to do that? She doesn't, she can't do that, she probably won't be able to swim." ”
Svek glared at him: "You should learn to swim, it's a shame that you can't swim as a palace guard." ”
The captain rushed over, spotted a miraculous scene, and exclaimed, "Oh, God has appeared!"
The witch said that she could last up to four hours, and what if the storm didn't stop for four hours?
Then the captain said, then pray, all we have left is to pray, no one can help us, no one.
The storm continued, and after four hours, the cloud disk disappeared and the sea water poured in again.
Svek walked into Sophia's cabin and saw her lying flat on the bed, her face purple.
It's the first time Svek has seen such a face, and it's terrifying.
"Call the captain, quick!"
The captain ran over.
"She looked like she was going to die. ”
Sveker: "Why is that?"
Captain: "I don't know, is it because the mana is used too violently and hurts itself?"
Svek stepped forward to probe her snort, only breathing, not in, he panicked, and hurriedly pinched her man.
I pinched it for a while, but there was no reaction at all.
And her body temperature is unusually low, and her hands and feet are cold, just like a person who has passed out in the ice and snow.
"Is there a quilt, is there a quilt?"
Captain: 'At this time, how can there be a quilt on board?'
"You all get out!"
When everyone was out, Svek closed the cabin door, and he held the witch in his arms, and he wanted to warm her with his own body heat.
The boat was still shaking violently.
Svecker held the ice like a witch, motionless, he didn't believe she would die like that.
The cabin door was suddenly opened, and Beach ran in: "The ship is sinking, the captain said he couldn't bear it, and he let us get on the boat." ”
The spare boat of the St. Gois, which could carry up to sixteen people, now has twenty people on board.
"Leave her alone, let's go, let's go, we don't have time!"
Svecker picked the witch on his back.
"She's just dead, and she's dead on Alcatraz, she can't die in the boat!"
The hull of the Saint Goise had begun to tilt to the left, and its bilge was already covered entirely with seawater.
On the sea, the storm was a little lighter.
The pseudo-mother is definitely not qualified to get on the boat, and Anna is not allowed to board the boat, if Sophia is abandoned, the escape boat will be squeezed again, and it is not impossible to fit seventeen people.
The puppet girl scolded, but was beaten by the captain and her head was bleeding.
Anna whined and begged to get on the boat, but was kicked to the ground by the captain mercilessly, Anna got up and begged again, and Beechy gave her another kick until Anna couldn't get up.
