156. Queen of the Iceberg
The sea in the southern ocean at noon was extremely sunburned, and the small wooden boat of Fisher and his party was unsheltered by anything, so all the people were directly exposed to the cloudless clear sky.
Old Jack carefully took off all the bartender clothes on his upper body, and built a simple shed for Dotty and Karma in the corner of the wooden boat to keep them from sunburning.
And himself, like Fisher, stood bare-chested in front of the bow of the ship, looking in the direction of progress.
It had been a whole day and a night since they came out of St. Nari, and during that time Jasmine had gone into the water and touched some strange fish to feed on.
Fisher was not familiar with the aquatic products of the sea, and the only thing he knew was the ones that could be bought from the Saint-Nari market, and at this moment, looking at the colorful big-headed fish in front of him, he didn't even know if he could eat it or not.
Jasmine said that it could be eaten, and it was not poisonous, but she always felt that the difference between the physique of whale humans and humans was not a star, Fisher and Old Jack first frowned and tried it, and after making sure that there was no problem, they gave it to Isabel and the three mouse mothers, and by the way, they also gave a little bit to the little mice they brought.
Isabel had been alone in the corner of the wooden boat for most of the time since she got on the boat, and her expression was very depressed, and when she slept at night, Fisher could vaguely see her curled up in the corner crying, if it were not for Jasmine urging her to eat, she would have starved to death on the boat.
Fisher didn't persuade her much, because during this time he also had Elizabeth in his heart, and he could only concentrate on the matter in front of him to get rid of the feeling that was following him.
"It's almost near Swali's route."
Old Jack and Fisher stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ocean around them, which had basically not changed, and Old Jack had no idea of sailing, and could only rely on Fisher and Jasmine to roughly identify the direction.
Old Jack looked around, but apparently found nothing in the end,
"How long have we been sailing? I don't have any time to spend on this ship. ”
"It's about 27 hours, but we're not sure where we're yet, and it's possible to be one or two nautical miles away from the route on the chart, but those merchant ships can't follow the exact location of the route. The demon said that the ship would automatically look for ships and islands to dock at, and now that we were in the vicinity, it would lead us around. ”
The book also floated, it had neither to eat nor to sleep, and even after so much time he had been rocking around the ship he did not languish at all, but after spending some time with Fisher, he realized that Fisher was not the kind of person who was very talkative, which made him particularly uncomfortable with his talk.
Old Jack was not familiar with him at all, and the two ladies at the stern were not in good spirits and were reluctant to speak, and the only chance he could speak was with those three nasty nezumi girls.
Originally, I was quite happy to get along with them, but since they said that they were going to tear off the pages of their books to use them as money, Sir Shu didn't want to pay attention to the three bear children anymore.
"Whew!"
Emhardt floated in mid-air, pretending to make a round around the bow of the ship with Fisher, but before he could take a step or two, a fierce wind struck him, almost blowing him out, and he rolled twice in agony before smashing to the stern.
"Oh, damn the sea breeze"
And at this moment, Jasmine, who was sitting in the stern of the boat, suddenly trembled her ears, she raised her nose, looked in a certain direction in the distance, and suddenly said anxiously to Fisher,
"Wait, Fisher, I seem to smell the rainstorm, this smell can't be wrong, it's just ahead."
"Ahead?"
Facing the fierce sea breeze, Fisher looked at the clear sky in the distance, and as their little wooden boat continued to move forward, he finally saw a little black under the sky in the far distance, but the black cloud was not moving slowly, and in just a few breaths, that little bit of black had already occupied a corner of the sky.
"It's rainstorm!"
Fisher frowned, looking at the black clouds that kept approaching this way, and his thoughts kept flickering.
Heavy rain in the ocean is far from reaching the level of a land storm, and it will not have a huge impact on the merchant ships on the route, at most it will be very bumpy when driving, otherwise it would be meaningless to design a fixed route.
But the problem is that the above assumptions are all for larger merchant ships, and it is difficult to say whether your small wooden ship will capsize in a heavy rain.
"Boom!"
Looking at the black clouds that began to condense thunder in the sky, the sea under the wooden boat also began to become extremely uncalm, and the waves began to condense one after another, and the frenzied sea breeze was faintly mixed with extremely thick water vapor, as if it was breathing transpiring water vapor.
"All hold on to the hull next to Isabelle! I'm talking about you! ”
After hearing Fisher's words, Isabel looked up in a daze.
At this moment, her delirious state finally began to disintegrate when she saw the black clouds approaching her side in the distance, where had the pampered princess seen such a formation, and felt the whole ship begin to shake again, she was so frightened that she hurriedly obeyed Fisher's order and clutched the hull next to her and closed her eyes.
Old Jack hurriedly ran towards the three rat girls, and Karma and the others also quickly climbed on Old Jack's body, like a soft self-wearing armor, they all buried their heads in Old Jack's arms, and the tail behind them was still trembling, Old Jack leaned against the back of the hull, and stuck his position with the unloaded musket as a safety belt.
"Fisher! Come back! ”
Emhart was anxiously hovering in mid-air looking for a place to hide, originally he wanted to fly in the direction of Fisher, but seeing that he was still standing on the bow of the boat, he had to run behind Old Jack's ass and shrink back,
"Grandpa, that book is behind your ass."
"Squeeze it, squeeze it. Shut up, you little kids! ”
The rainstorm in the distance came in an instant, and in an instant, the whole sky seemed to be wrapped in darkness, and the rainstorm that densely obscured the vision poured down, like bullets, burst out on the top of the wooden boat, and shook the wooden boat violently.
Fisher didn't lean next to it because if the rainstorm was too heavy, the wooden boat would fill up with water, and even if it didn't capsize, it would sink with water, so he had to get up and scoop it out.
"Crackling!"
Fisher summoned the fluid sword in his hand, turning it into a scoop of water, allowing himself to scoop water out like crazy.
But even if Fisher worked hard, the rain in the sky was still too great at this time, and it was useless to do anything, and he could only watch as more and more water appeared in the hull.
"Jasmine, you'll have to get off the ship and push us out, if you stay here, the ship will sink sooner or later."
Jasmine, who was standing at the back of the boat, nodded, and with a flick of her tail behind her, she jumped into the water, holding on to the lower end of the hull and pushing the wooden boat towards the outside of the storm.
The whole hull shook again from this sudden acceleration, and with the roar of thunder and torrential rain in the sky, Fisher gently blocked the raindrops that were tilting towards him with his hands.
"Oooo Help me! Emhart is going to be drowned! ”
The water in the ship was rising, and Emhart's screams were hidden in the raging wind, but Fisher had no choice but to pray that they would get out of the rain.
But Fisher barely opened his eyes, and the torrential rain seemed to be endless, with no end in sight, and everywhere there was rain and thunder.
Isn't it in the right direction?
"Whew!"
Just as the boat was moving forward, Fisher, who was leaning on the bow, suddenly felt a biting cold wind coming towards his door, as if he had been in the steaming sauna to the freezer in an instant, and the sudden cold made him shrink and hide in the hull.
"Click!"
And the cold did not stop at all, the crisp sound of ice breaking kept coming, but the sound of the rainstorm next to it suddenly stopped, as if someone was holding the trend of the rainstorm in mid-air.
"Fisher, the sea and the rain are frozen!"
The progress of the small wooden boat came to an abrupt halt, and Jasmine, who was pushing the boat behind, felt the cold, and quickly covered her body and surfaced, but this did not startle her when she surfaced.
Behind the small wooden boat, the torrential rain was still continuing, but in front of the wooden boat, the large sea surface was covered by a cold mist that spread out, and the sea surface where the fog passed hardened into ice, and the raindrops in mid-air unsurprisingly turned into tiny ice crystals.
"What is this?"
The people on the ship who felt the calm around them looked up one after another, but they saw that on the sea not far ahead, a huge cold shadow gradually appeared in the frost and fog that was constantly rushing in.
"Click, click!"
In the next second, the shadow behind the ice mist kept approaching, and a large, spear-like part easily pierced the ice in front of it, ensuring its unimpeded navigation.
In front of Fisher's group, a huge ship with a dark green color broke through the ice, and directly above the mast hung an all-blue flag with the shape of an upside-down hammer fluttering.
This ship, Fisher, recognized as one of the four major pirate ships called the "Iceberg Queen"!
And its captain is
Fisher looked up, and saw that at the bow of the great ship, a handsome lady with a tall and snow-like skin was expressionlessly holding a sword that seemed to be made of ice, and her long silver hair tied into a long ponytail was fluttering in the wind behind her, making her image of a noble handsome boy a little beautiful.
And her unwarm expression changed a little when she looked down at the man standing at the bow of the wooden boat in front of her, and she opened her mouth in disbelief,
"Fisher?"
"Captain Arajina, long time no see."
