Chapter 488: Eye of the Storm (Part II)
[The third update, there is another one]
"Master, what good things have you found in such a hurry?" asked Sarin curiously. Salin didn't share perception with her, she couldn't see a hundred miles away.
"Go and save people. ”
"Saving people?" Neris looked so excited that even Truman couldn't understand it.
"It's too annoying to kill people all day long, and it's definitely fun to save people once in a while. Nellis was so eager to try it that everyone laughed, even Salin.
He can't say that he kills people all day long, but what he has done recently has made him very troubled.
The dragonship's magic furnace was fully opened, and the battleship rushed to the storm area at a speed of one hundred and twenty miles per hour. Such a speed is not the fastest speed of the dragon wreck battleship, this behemoth more than 100 meters long can fly.
In less than half an hour, the people on the boat also saw dark clouds in the distance, and in the alchemy telescope, the monstrous giant * was more than ten meters high. The people on the ship who operate the magic furnace are all mages, and there are not many sailors, and the soldiers who follow Saleen feel terrified when they see this scene.
Fortunately, everyone knows the performance of the dragon wreck battleship, and there is also a ninth-level magician on the ship, so it's a big deal to fly again.
The giant, which was more than ten meters high, chased a merchant ship in front of it, which had obviously been modified and looked like an ordinary warship in its original appearance. Even on this merchant ship converted from a battleship, there are still two magic stone cannons that have not been dismantled.
This kind of modification ship is extremely fast, but the defense power is reduced, not to mention the current storm, even ordinary wind and waves will affect the navigation of the ship. In the giant*, the merchant ship had already begun to tilt, and the hull of nearly 100 meters was seriously biased. The sea ship should try to maintain a perpendicular angle to the big waves, if it is parallel, even the ancient warship will be in danger.
It's just that most of the battleships have magicians in charge, and they can also ensure that they have a certain ability to survive in the wind and waves, and the merchant ships in front of them are estimated to only be able to hire magic apprentices.
Click...... Boom!
The nearly 100-meter-long merchant ship suddenly made a huge cracking sound, and I saw the bow of the ship piercing out of the giant *, and then it trembled violently and disintegrated in the middle!
Salin saw it and knew that this was a merchant ship that had renovated the cabin in the middle of the ship in order to increase its cargo capacity, and removed some magic facilities, and there were no magicians on the merchant ship anyway. As a result, the capacity of merchant ships has at least doubled, but the sturdiness has decreased considerably.
"Save people. Salin sighed, the merchant ship in front of him was flying the flag of the Scochenian Empire, but this was not a warship, even if it was a warship, the two sides were not in a state of battle, and he had to rescue the sailors above.
The dragon wreck battleship quickly adjusted its angle, and the huge bone wings on both sides unfolded, lowering the metal suspension pod, stabilizing the battleship, which could maintain a certain balance in the wind and waves. Only then did more than forty kayaks be lowered on either side of the back deck. This is not a lifeboat, in the giant *, the lifeboat will overturn at once.
The area of this storm is huge, almost covering more than 1,000 miles of sea. In the center of the storm, on the contrary, the wind and waves are calm. In an area of less than ten miles, all around was a monstrous wave, swirling around the center of the storm, propulsion. In this place, an old sailing ship is moving at a rapid pace, the length of the sailing ship is only more than sixty meters, the mast is high, the sails are tattered, and on the deck of this ancient sailing ship, there are rows of soldiers.
The soldiers were dressed in rusty iron armor, had no masks, more than half of the flesh on their faces was rotten, and there were almost no eyeballs in their eye sockets, and there was no soul fire of the undead.
In the soldier's hand, there was an ancient spear, the tip of which was more than a foot long, and the sides were open with reverse serrations.
In the sky above this sailboat, a strange huge eye was looking ahead, and the pupil in the center of the eye was erected, filled with an evil aura. The diameter of this eye is a mile, and because it is flying at high altitude, it is not so depressing.
Around the huge eyes, all the elements were controlled, the wind and waves could not invade, and the sailboat did not know what power it was, and it was extremely fast.
This eye is still slowly flickering, and every blink of an eye stirs up a huge surface of the sea in the distance. At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky also rolled wildly, and the strong air currents made violent sounds. This storm in a radius of thousands of miles seems to have been caused by this eye.
On the periphery of the storm, the merchant ships had disintegrated, and the sailors and merchants on board were terrified, and there was no chance of surviving in such a storm.
"Captain, there's a ship ahead!" Several soldiers pointed to the dragon wreck battleship in the distance, on the hull of the ship, which had not yet sunk. In the shadow of the dark clouds, the huge dragon wreck battleship waited there silently, waiting for the storm to come.
More than forty kayaks were thrown into the water, and there were only two undead maneuvers on them. A water-streaked shield appeared on the kayak, but it was different from what Salin usually used, and it was probably second-class. Inspired by a magic array, the magic core is used as an energy source. The inside of the kayak was inflated and a little deflated, but it was protected by a spherical shield of water lines, and the kayak floated easily on the sea and headed for the place where the merchant ship had broken down.
In the blink of an eye, the storm swept through the more than forty kayaks, and the kayaks tossed wildly in the storm, but did not leave the water, sticking to the water.
Although the storm was powerful, it was not an attack magic, and the storm was not mixed with any substances other than water, and these kayaks crossed the waves and came to the side of the merchant ship, which had already sunk most of it, only the deck was still half a meter above the water, and the cabin was already filled with water. If it weren't for the fact that half of the sealed cabin had not been preserved, the ship would have sunk long ago.
The undead threw their ropes, and the sailors and soldiers were dragged into the kayaks by the undead as they looked to be drowned, regardless of who they were. Each kayak can accommodate more than 20 people, fill it and go.
At this time, the storm had already patronized the Dragonwreck Battleship, which was tossed and turned in the giant*, and the bone wings on both sides were close to the water, playing a balancing role. If it were an ordinary balance board, such a large giant * would have made it lose its function long ago. The bone wings of the dragon wreck battleship are self-adjusting, and no matter how big the waves are, they can't break it.
The dragon wreck battleship was originally used as a flagship, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but the most important thing is to maintain safety, speed, and the ability to adjust. The Dragonwreck Battleship has the best teleportation arrays, magic arrays, and nine magic furnaces. The ship has a space warehouse-like cabin that can hold a large amount of supplies. The metal seal under the ship, which was sunk into the water, was designed to deal with large storms.
There were only about a hundred sailors on the merchant ship, and more than a hundred soldiers, and the rest were coolies. In the Myers mainland, sailors are also a relatively high-wage profession, unlike coolies on ships. More than 40 kayaks can rescue more than 800 people, and this merchant ship can not fit so many.
The sailors and soldiers in the kayak were tossed and jolted, and it was the two undead who were in charge of the kayak, who only knew how to secure them to the kayak with a rope and then drive the kayak back to the Dragonwreck battleship.
Saleen was on the forward deck of the Dragonwreck, watching the undead save the man who had fallen overboard. Naris had already dived into the sea, approached the broken merchant ship, and burrowed into the cabin.
The warehouse was divided into several parts, and Neris found the smallest one, kicked it open, and saw that the small warehouse was full of boxes. These are all space boxes that Qin Yin's elite troops will use, and the size is the same as the outside, but the way inside accommodates objects is different, and there will be no damage, and the weight will not be calculated.
No matter how heavy the space box is, the weight will not increase. Therefore, the preciousness of the space box lies in its attributes. This thing is strong, and Nellis can break it easily, but she came alone, and no one was there to supervise, so she simply put all the space boxes into the dimensional stone.
There were more than a hundred space boxes piled up in this small cabin, and after Neris put them away, she moved into the larger cabin at the back. The cabin was stacked with ordinary cargo, all of which were huge wooden crates, tied with wire on the outside and sealed with lead.
Ordinary boxes, Naris put directly into the bracelet. She has a keen eye, she reads the words on the seal, and she doesn't bother to move the low-value goods. The ship came from Skocchia and was certainly a smuggling ship. The value of the goods on it must be at least 100,000 gold coins to make an adventure worthwhile.
One hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount for the Metatrin Kingdom, don't look at Saleen can hunt in the Frozen Sea, but in the current situation, no matter how expensive the magic core is, Saleen will not sell it.
The economy of the entire Kingdom of Metatrin is in a slump, and wealth can only circulate within the country, and the magic cores, metals, as well as timber and ore, which are sought after by merchants, are now produced by the royal family and stored in the warehouses of Metatrin City.
Neris happily broke into the next cabin, thinking to herself, it was really fun to save people, and there were so many benefits to be gained.
After cleaning up most of the cargo on the sunken ship, Nellis sneaked back to the dragon wreck battleship. On the dragon wreck battleship, most of the people who fell into the water on the merchant ship were rescued, and there were more than 200 people.
Saleen had already returned to the cabin, and he didn't bother to see these people. It's just a smuggling boat, just leave it to Truman to deal with.
More than four hundred miles away, in the center of the storm, the huge eye was still flying forward, and the sailboat below was lifeless, and the bow of the ship broke through the sea without making any sound.
The giant eye in the sky controlled the storm and gradually approached the dragonship. Its flight speed is about 100 miles, and if the dragon wreck battleship turns around and leaves at this time, it will definitely not touch this monster. However, the Dragonwreck Battleship was busy dealing with the rescued people, and Saleen didn't take the huge storm seriously, and the Dragonwreck Battleship was still moored in place.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, four hundred miles, three hundred miles, two hundred miles......
Salin also felt strange, he finished meditating, and felt that three hours had passed, but the storm had not stopped. The Dragonwreck Battleship was tossed and turned in the Tempest*, and in fact the turmoil felt in the ship was not very strong.
"Nicholas, do you feel the danger?" Salin asked the Old Magician.
"I can't feel it, Nyris, what about you?"
Neris shook her head, her prediction of danger was also very accurate, this time, she didn't feel any threat.
