ACT120: The Mysterious Island in the Mist
Storms at sea are inevitable for any ship. Fortunately, the Blue Grace has the size of an aircraft carrier, so in theory, as long as they land on the sea in advance, there will not be much of a problem, as for whether the reality will also come according to the "theory", that is another story.
The attendants on the airboat were exhorting the passengers to return to their rooms, while reassuring each other, saying that the Blue Grace was the best airship in the world, and it was definitely an "unsinkable ship", which made Weiss, who heard this, ask them for 6 life jackets for the first time, because this flag made his heart tremble.
"I've never seen such a ...... kill themselves"
"Wright, is there anything wrong with what the waiter just said?"
"What is the problem? Throughout the ages, anyone who dares to claim 'unsinkable' will use the cruel reality to make him understand the important surname of low-key. ”
"It's not that serious, is it?"
"I hope it's not that serious. ”
After the Blue Grace landed on the sea, it did not stop because of the storm in front of it, but continued to sail on the surface of the sea with its own surging power. The captain thought that since they had been forced to take a long detour, they could not afford to delay unnecessary time because of a storm.
Admittedly, the Blue Grace does boast of its own capital, with 16 pilot furnaces and its massive hull allowing them to sail at a decent speed, even in storms. Inside, the passengers felt a slight vibration, and the thunder outside was a little noisy, so they quickly calmed down and prepared to talk about the "storm voyage" experience for the future.
Everything seemed to be going well, and after several hours of sailing head-on with the storm, the Blue Grace finally crossed the Simon Strait into the inland sea, and the raging storm zone was already behind them, and even the rain outside was much lighter. But just when everyone in the bridge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a change suddenly happened.
"Captain, we seem to have a problem with our gauges......"
"Captain, the power room is urgently reporting that the power of the guide furnace is rapidly decreasing......"
"Captain, there's something wrong with the living quarters......"
"Damn, can you tell me what's wrong?"
Hearing the successive reports of his subordinates, the captain, who had just wanted to smoke after the storm to celebrate the passage through the storm area, angrily threw it into the trash can with the cigarette after discovering that even his own spar lighter had struck, and then threw it on the navigation chart, frowning and asking the navigator on the side.
"How much are we on course from normal?"
"It's 17 degrees to the north, and if there's no problem with the power, it's easy to adjust. ”
"Then call the technician to feel the emergency repair, this may be the impact of the storm, it should not last long, notify the staff in the living area, let them pay attention to calm the emotions of the passengers, do not cause panic. ”
The paralysis soon affected the whole ship, and all the guiding tools based on magic were ineffective, and the waiter first took out the guiding emergency lights, but none of these new things that had not been opened were not easy to use, so he could only use the liquor in the kitchen to make a batch of alcohol lamps and send them to various rooms, and then try to appease those dissatisfied passengers.
The first time the paralyzing imagination happened, Weiss and the others thought of the crisis they had encountered not long ago, and Lytis immediately took out the detector from the salute, and found that the concentration of magic around them was gradually decreasing, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense and serious.
"Are those guys?" Wendy asked.
"Perhaps, but it's a little different from last time. ”
Lytis looked at the meter with a thoughtful expression.
"What's the difference?"
"The mana concentration has been constant at 30% of the normal value since just now, and the current value is very stable. Of course, it is not excluded that we are now moving in parallel with the position of the role, but ...... I always feel weird. ”
"Maybe we found out earlier this time, but I'm a little wondering, is that the organization going to do it at sea this time? Is there any small island around here?"
"There shouldn't be a ...... around here Oops!"
Everyone was analyzing the situation in front of them, a huge earthquake suddenly came from the cold feet, and everyone who was caught off guard suddenly fell to the ground, after Weiss got up, he keenly felt that the Blue Grace had completely stopped after the vibration just now, and at the same time, the hull was slightly skewed, and as soon as Wendy opened the door, she heard the exclamation of "the bilge is flooded" from the corridor.
Fortunately, the ship's crew reacted quickly, evacuating the passengers in the water intake area as quickly as possible, and sealing the watertight hatch, which saved the Blue Grace from sinking. In the upper space, the staff is holding a loudspeaker to calm the passengers.
"Please don't panic, the shaking just now is because we hit the reef, and after we closed the incoming cabin, there is no danger. Please stay in your room and do not walk around the hallway. Repeat again......"
At this time, the situation on the ship was still under control, but all the staff were busy, and the unexplained paralysis made it impossible for the maintenance technicians to start rescuing. And in the midst of this busy schedule, the sailors on deck reported another piece of news that they did not know whether to count good or bad.
"We found an unknown island?"
"Yes, just about 5 kilometers to the north-east, there was a sailor who, by the light of lightning, saw the outline of a mountain. Captain, do you think we should send someone up after dawn to see if we are stuck on the reef and can't move, and maybe we should move the passengers to safer land. ”
"Are you sure there are no dangerous creatures like monsters?"
"There are some pawn owners among the passengers on the ship, maybe we should ask them to help us go to the island to scout first. ”
"Hmm...... That might be the way to go. I remember there was a team of six people in first class, right? Ask them what they think? This kind of team is definitely more reliable than a team that is improvised. ”
In this way, the co-captain of the Blue Grace soon found the room of Weiss and the others, and told them their request. When everyone learned that their airship was completely immobilized and that there was an unknown island nearby, they just confirmed each other with their eyes and then took the matter to the next day.
Since there is no escape, there is no choice but to choose! )
