Chapter 889: On the Sea (I)
The dark clouds of the misty plane are rolling in the sky.
Although the fog gradually dissipates on the sea during this season, the constant bad weather still makes those who sail into a lot of trouble. At this time, a strong wind had swept everything, and the sky seemed to be swallowed up by jet black, and there were loud roars, and large clouds gathered in this direction.
"Slow down, pay attention to the direction!" The whole day of the sky, as if it was falling down, the heavy clouds, like a huge black shadow, squeezing everything, the sound of the wind, the roar of the waves, the sound is extremely terrifying, the merchant ships that are drifting on the sea, like a piece of dead leaves, in the wind and waves are not free.
At this time, everyone seems very small, this is a force that shakes the heavens and the earth, and it belongs to the power of nature. "The wind and waves are getting stronger, what should I do?" "What else can I do? Do as I say, don't panic!" "Oh no! Captain, there's water pouring in on the left side!" "Quick, dig out the water, take care to tie the rope!" "Yes!" "Captain, the third boat is out of order! Look, the third boat is not keeping up!" "Damn!" The anxious voices of the people kept repeating.
There are a total of six ships in this team, they are all patrol ships, and the people in this foggy plane, in order to explore new routes, many territories will send ships and personnel, constantly going to the sea to explore the situation.
Because of the presence of many sea beasts and mist, the task of navigation has always been extremely dangerous, "However, the rewards given by those lords to these voyagers are also very high. Money can make ghosts grind, not to mention adventures that don't necessarily involve the danger of death.
Although sailing is a very dangerous thing, there are still a lot of applicants, usually the people who dare to sign up are bold, experienced, and capable people, and such a group of people, in the face of such a terrible weather, they are also very dazed and afraid.
What's more, the sea they are walking in now has stepped out of the famous Sea of Death, where there are many sea beasts, each of which is enough to wipe out merchant ships.
"Forget it, don't worry about them, at this time, the two ships are close together, and they are simply dying in battle!" said the captain of the ship, "Don't you see?
At this time, the waves were constantly rolling, and the hull of the ship was also shaking violently, and he could clearly see the situation over there, only to see that the big ship that was out of condition had a lot of moving black spots around it, and those black spots were all beasts hidden in the water.
There was a constant sound of bumping and crashing, coming from their side, these sea beasts, actually crashing into the ship.
The wind was very loud, and the captain still heard the call of everyone on the ship, and in order to preserve the strength of his own network, he had to pretend not to hear it.
"But ......" The crew of the first ship to have problems was still a little hesitant. "Nothing, listen to my orders, take it as your duty to ensure the safety of this ship, pay attention to your defense, and ignore the cries for help in the distance, the captain of this ship said coldly. "Yes!" the sailors around him echoed in unison.
The subordinate who had just spoken stood in the wind and rain, looking at the ship in the distance, with a helpless expression on his face.
At this time, the ship had been ravaged by the wind and rain, and under the impact of the sea beast, there was a hole in the ship, and as soon as the water entered, the general body immediately had a certain inclination, and it was obvious that it would not be long before the ship could sink into the sea. "Help! Come and help us!" "We don't have animal repellent potions on our ship, which of you has one on board, help" Who's going to help them! Help!" The people on the ship all shouted loudly, and the sound of the wind and waves reached the others, "Ignore them, keep sailing!" ”
Not only did this ship not go to the rescue, but the other four ships also adhered to the principle of saving themselves and not saving it, and did not have the slightest intention of approaching that ship.
At this time, the wind and waves on the sea are very strong, and the rules here in the misty plane are very strange, that is, without a priest located within the location of the god they believe in, they cannot pray for divine magic, even if they have a priest on their ship at this time, they will only help them solve some limited problems on the way, the number of these magic is too small, even if they are all used at this time, they will not be able to produce any great effect at this time.
What's more, there is not a single priest on these ships, and in the face of this natural force, they can only choose to pray and wait.
The power of mortals is too small, and under the impact of such a natural force, one can only pray for the past of the disaster. "My lord, that hole can't be blocked, what should I do, the water has been pouring into the boat!" "Damn! Quickly get something to plug it!" "No, it can't be blocked!" "What are they doing over there? At this time, why don't you hurry up and come over!" "These miscellaneous pieces obviously want to protect themselves!"
"My lord, what are we going to do? If this continues, we will die!"
"My lord, those sea beasts are still hitting the hull!"
There were more than a dozen men on the ship that was entangled in sea beasts, all of them were hired to serve as the vanguard fleet, except for the captain, all of them were hired men.
It is precisely because of this that the people on the other ships choose to ignore them so indifferently, and they are all descendants of the lord.
For those who spend money to hire a watch, for their life and death, those people may stretch out a hand in ordinary times, and in such a dangerous time, they are all concerned with themselves. "Look, there's another ship coming!" suddenly one of the crew shouted, in despair, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope. "Other ships?" the person in charge of the ship looked back, and sure enough, he saw several clippers, coming this way at a very fast speed.
Seeing this situation, the person in charge immediately shouted: "Quick, everyone else hurry up and uncover the water, you, and you, join me and call them for help!"
At this time, he also understood that relying on his own people may not be useful, but it is better to see if these ships can save their lives! "Help, help!" "Our ship is broken, entangled by sea beasts, help!" The shout passed through the wind and waves into the distance. At this time, the shadows of the ships in front of them also appeared, "Report, ships from other territories have appeared in front!" "Did you hear anything?" said the head of the fleet, standing on the deck of the main ship. "Yes, my lord, we have heard it, someone is shouting for help. ”
The person in charge was wearing the clothes of a priest and said to the people on the left and right: "Since they are shouting for help, they must be in danger, so let's lean over the boat and ask what is going on." "Yes. After hearing his order, the fleet headed in the direction of the shout. "My lord, there are sea beasts!" said a sailor, as he got a little closer. "It doesn't matter, our ships are shrouded in magic and are not afraid of sea beasts. The priest in charge said lightly.
Sure enough, as soon as their ship approached, the sea beasts immediately spread out in all directions, and they didn't dare to come over again. "Is something wrong with you?" asked the person in charge in a priest's robe as the main ship approached the distress boat. "Ours is broken, and it will sink soon, save us!" Seeing that someone really came to inquire, and accidentally dispersed the sea beast, the captain hurriedly shouted for help. The rest of the crew also shouted, "Help us, our ship is about to sink!"
Seeing the ships that appeared in front of them, all of them showing a smooth sailing appearance, these people immediately increased their confidence, and the voices of crying for help became more and more poignant.
"Why don't you let them save you?" I was going to give the order to save people immediately, but the priest suddenly saw several other ships adrift at sea not far away, so he paused and asked.
"They can't protect themselves, my lord, they don't even dare to come close!" shouted the ship's ship.
Looking at the situation over there, and seeing that this was indeed the case, the priest nodded and said to the soldiers around him, "Pull over the boat and let them come up, but be on guard." "Yes!" Then, with their help, the crew of the ship was rescued.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation not far away, and under the gaze of these people, the ship they had just left had sunk into the sea.
"Oh my God!" all those who saw this changed their faces.
Especially the people who had just been rescued on the boat exclaimed, "God bless!"
"Your Excellency, it is fortunate that you and your crew rescued us, otherwise we would have died without a place to be buried. The captain of the ship that saw this situation thanked the ship very respectfully. "It's okay, since you have encountered it, then save it!" the priest smiled faintly.
"We are all adventurers, and this time we went to sea on a mission in the Ladiga Territory, and we are fortunate to have met you and your fleet, otherwise, we would have died for this mission. The captain said with emotion.
"We are from the Salante Collar, I am a priest, and this time I am bringing people out on a mission. The pastor said. "I think I've heard of it, I heard that you believe in the god Romon , right?" said the captain's eyes lit up when he heard his introduction. "Yes, my lord is the god Romon God. When asked, the pastor replied naturally.
Hearing the priest's answer, the captain opened his mouth to say something, but did not say it, only sighed secretly. At this time, there was another big storm and waves, and everyone focused on the wind and waves at sea
