Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Blue Storm
"How's that, to your taste?"
Roland asked with some pride, tonight's dinner was his masterpiece.
Even Ammelis could only nod obediently and admit that it was the most delicious dinner she had ever had in her life.
Taking advantage of AmΓ©lis's happy mood, Roland struck while the iron was hot and asked, "So, you shouldn't really let me be a chef on your ship, right?" β
"Huh? I think you're doing a great job. β
Amylis said as she wiped her mouth.
Roland sighed, and was about to come up with some of the excuses he had prepared during the day.
Ammelis suddenly knocked on the table, and a black hole opened, and at the other end of the black hole was the lookout on the main mast.
Lana, a dark-skinned little girl, shook a bell while holding the dried fish, and it seemed that she used this bell to inform Amylis that something was unexpected!
"Lana! What's wrong! β
Ammelis shouted directly at the black hole.
The little girl turned around and noticed the black hole, she should be able to see Amylis and Roland, and both of them could see it too, and there was a solemn expression on her face.
Lana pointed to the distant horizon and shouted to Amerys, "Captain! Something is wrong up ahead! β
Amerys's face froze, she stretched out her finger and waved it at the edge of the black hole, only to see that the black hole slowly expanded, and the angle was adjusted to face the bow of the ship, that is, the direction in which the ship was going.
Roland curiously followed Amylis into the distance, at this time, the twilight sun had just set, and there was still a little remnant of the sunset in the sky on the other side of the vision, but the red light of the sunset was also fading rapidly.
But in the direction of the ship's progress, there seemed to be a faint fluorescent blue, gradually brightening.
"Damn it!" Ammelis scolded and slapped the table to startle Roland, but a black hole suddenly appeared under Roland's feet, and the next second he fell into the room where he woke up in the morning, and there were more than a dozen transcendent traits on the table.
"Attention everyone! The storm is coming! Get me all in place and meet the storm! β
Amerys's voice spread throughout the Golden Dream!
The whole ship seemed to be silent for a second, and then immediately there was a commotion!
Vincent, Dylan, Mr. Second Mate, and the voices of the three men seemed to roar at the same time in three places on the ship!
Vincent, who was closest to Roland's room, rushed through Roland's door, shouting, "Lift your lazy ass!" Sailors! You damn slackers! Did the chef's delicious meals make you lose the energy to work? β
"Hey! Ay! β
Many sailors rushed to the deck after Vincent.
"Lock the rails! I'll hang the ropes! It's like hanging those corrupt navies! Push all the gunpowder into the warehouse! Dylan also came up from the next floor, shouting out what his crew should do and how to do it.
The first voice of the second mate had been drowned out in the noise outside, and now that the whole ship had come to life completely, Roland believed that he would not be idle.
Although I want to go out and help, Roland, who has never run the boat, is just a newcomer who doesn't know anything, Roland understands the truth that the more you help, the more chaotic it is, rather than getting in the way, it is better to stay in the cabin obediently.
At the bow of the Golden Dream, Ammelis was already at the front, her eyes unblinking.
The fluorescent blue line in the sky has become more and more obvious.
Ammelis put her hand over her head and gestured a few times, and Lana on the lookout immediately lit a special lamp and hung it out, and then quickly slid off the lookout.
The second mate ran up from below, and when he went to the front of the ship to report to Amylis, he was surprised to look at the lights on the lookout several times!
"Captain! No problem at the bottom! β
"Okay." Amerys' voice was calm.
"Captain! The deck is ready! β
"Captain! All the best in the cabin! β
Vincent and Dylan also ran up, and the three of them stood behind Amylis, looking at the fluorescent blue light in the distance together, their faces serious.
The wind had not yet blown, but a dull smell had already permeated the sea.
The active fish and seabirds were long gone, and after Lana hung up the special lights, the fleet that followed turned around and sped away in the other direction.
"Captain," Mr. Second Officer stepped forward, "is that what it is?" β
The other cadres all showed a look of jealousy on their faces, but no one showed fear.
Amylis smiled, a small black hole appeared next to her mouth, and the next words she said rang out throughout the Golden Dream.
"Pirates, have you eaten and drunk enough!"
Roland was still in the window of his cabin, looking curiously at the distant fleet behind him, and Ameryth's voice seemed to sound directly in his cabin.
Then, the entire ship's 77 crew members shouted in unison: "Oops! Captain! β
"The blue guests are coming soon! Pirates, let's get some post-dinner exercise together! Greetings to the hospitable! There was a sense of confidence in Amerys' voice.
"Oops! Captain! β
"Haven't you eaten enough? I can't hear you! Amylis's voice amplified a few decibels.
"Oops! Captain!!! β
The whole ship resounded with the response of the crew!
"Excellent! All members! Prepare for the storm! Get ready to take on the enemy! β
"Oops! Captain!!! β
Storm? Engagement? Roland couldn't hear it clearly, so Roland also saw the fluorescent blue light, but what was it? In the content of the original book in Roland's recollections, there is no such thing at all.
There was finally movement on the sea, first a sea breeze with a faint blue light blew, and Roland felt a biting chill coming!
The surrounding sea quickly froze, and in a "crunching" sound, even the white spray was condensed in the air!
The bow of the Golden Dream was also frozen, but due to its weight and inertia, the ice that was not thick enough was crushed by the lifted hull.
The pale blue wind continued to blow, and soon, the entire hull of the ship was frozen on the frozen ice.
Roland tentatively touched the cold wind, the strange thing is that the cold is indeed cold, but it is not exactly cold in the physical sense, when the light blue cold wind blows, Roland feels that his inner emotions are gradually extinguished and gradually annihilated!
There is no movement in the golden form between existences, and the light blue color in this wind should be an extraordinary effect derived from an extraordinary characteristic, not an extraordinary characteristic itself!
So the question is, what kind of transcendent creature can blow the cold wind that freezes the heavens and the earth and extinguishes emotions?
Roland's own speculation that this should be a high-level creature of the audience path, and it may even be a demigod or above!
The fluorescent blue light in the distance flickered, and the light began to brighten up brightly, and if you looked closely, you could find that it was the "light", which was rapidly approaching the Golden Dream!
There were already more than a dozen sailors standing on the deck, and after they were blown by the blue wind, they all became expressionless, but the pirate knives in their hands and the magical items on their bodies were still shining with spiritual light.
So many sailors are all transcendental!
The transcendent is not a cabbage, every transcendent, to put it bluntly, is a person who has embarked on the path to becoming a god and has the hope of becoming a god!
Even Roland knew that the number of transcendents had never been too much, and there should be no more than one hundred and fifty transcendents in all the pirate camps, but he didn't expect that there would be so many transcendents on the Golden Dream!
Amalys and the cadres at the bow of the ship are also in full array, their sequence is relatively high, and they are more obviously resistant to the blue wind that annihilates feelings.
The blue breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature is getting cooler and colder, but the emotion-destroying effect that is mixed with it has disappeared, and it seems that the first wave is a dismount.
Accompanied by the blue sea breeze, there was the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ice, and Roland's eyes widened, this is the sea! How could there be such a cavalry-like charge?
The main lord soon appeared in Roland's eyes, it was a group of a hundred knights, and the horses on which each cavalry rode were as rotten and festering as their bodies, and many places showed hideous white bones!
The icy blue light emanated from these cavalrymen!
Undead? Grim Reaper sequence? Isn't it the audience sequence? What kind of transcendent creature is this?
"Ready!" Amerys's shouts rang out in the cabin, interrupting Roland's doubts, is the Golden Dream going to face these undead head-on?
A sneer appeared on Amerys' face, these stinky bones are really not good!
As soon as these cavalry entered the attack range, Ammelis immediately gave the order!
"Fire!"
Before the words could be spoken, a roar rang out from the bow of the ship, and then dozens of shells smashed into the cavalry's array in the blink of an eye.
In the earth-shattering explosion, Roland could clearly see that nearly half of the undead cavalry was blown into pieces and scattered!
The rest of the cavalry rode across the area where the sea was seeping, and the second round of artillery wiped out some of the cavalry behind, but the cavalry at the front still approached the Golden Dream!
As soon as the fastest cavalryman lifted the reins, the four hooves of the undead horse under his crotch lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the man stood up, and actually stepped on the hull of the Golden Dream, rushing towards the deck at 90 degrees!
Almost a breath later, the first cavalryman was on the side of the ship, and it jumped high, about to jump onto the deck!
In the blink of an eye, Ammelis pulled out a revolver from her waist and aimed at the cavalry in mid-air and pulled the trigger directly.
The revolver made a "click" sound, as if Ammelis had made a fuss and did not load, but Ammelis and the crew on deck stopped looking at the knight.
I saw a little distorted black dot appear on the horse's neck, and the distorted black space ripples expanded, twisting and agitating a large piece of space to collapse towards the black dot in the middle!
The force of the space warp was almost irresistible, and eventually the knight on horseback began to distort and deform.
With a "snap", the space twisted to the extreme collapsed, and a huge horse's head fell on the deck, and was kicked off the deck by a crew member.
As for the knight in mid-air, he had already been disturbed by the distorted space and fell back to the bottom.
AmΓ©lis withdrew her revolver, drew the other one from her waist, and joined the crew as she fought the other cavalrymen who had jumped onto deck.
Roland could not see the battle on the deck, except for the sonorous symphony of weapons and the shouting and scolding of the pirates, and did not hear any screams for the time being.
He couldn't help but want to go out, but after thinking about it, he gave up, his extraordinary ability was really inconvenient to expose, and it was too inappropriate.
But trouble still came in, and the cavalry began to circle the sides of the ship, and many cavalry companies with horses turned into fluorescent blue, and actually penetrated the hull and entered the cabin!
Maybe it's because there are too many transcendent properties in Roland's room, and these ridiculous undead are constantly approaching Roland's room!
Even though Roland locked the door, an undead knight turned into fluorescent blue jumped in.
It's just that it was not the pirate knife that greeted it, but the smiling Roland.
The undead knights seemed to have some consciousness, and they first glanced at the colorful transcendent properties on the table, then at Roland, and a cruel smile appeared on their half-rotten faces, brandishing a machete and about to slash at Roland!
Roland's mouth suddenly cracked, and his whole face turned into hideous mouthparts, and he roared a syllable at the somewhat stunned cavalry!
"Shattered!"
"Smack!" The cavalry froze in place, looking at the hideous mouthpiece in front of him, which began to shatter inch by inch from the tip of the sword, then the hands, then the shoulders, and then the chest of the skull.
The horses he rode started from the head to the tail of the horse, and they were crushed together with their masters, and the crumbs were mixed together, so that it was impossible to distinguish who was with whom!
Roland touched his recovered mouth, the consumption of spirituality was lower than expected, and these transcendent creatures seemed to have a weak resistance to Roland's "words and words"!
"Tuk Tuk! Mr. Roland! Are you alright? Need us to protect you? β
There was a sound of the crew outside the door, and Roland was about to study the fragments of these knights, when he heard this, he hurriedly responded: "No need, I can protect myself, how is it on the deck?" β
"The first wave of the Blue Storm is almost over, and the second wave is coming! Mr. Roland shouts out when he needs to! You're welcome! β
Blue Storm? Indeed, it was the pirates' simple and crude way of choosing names.
Picking up a piece of wreckage, Roland could see a faint blue light dripping, and boldly touched it, the fluorescent blue light stuck to Roland's fingers like a liquid, and then gradually absorbed into Roland's body.
Roland hurriedly checked the golden form, and several transcendent traits rose very faintly.
Seeing the subtle knowledge, the extraordinary characteristics of each of these things are very mixed and weak, a cavalry has more than a dozen extraordinary characteristics, but they can't make up a complete characteristic, so they are not extraordinary creatures, but more like the product of some kind of composite extraordinary pollution!
"Boom!"
The gun in the bow of the ship opened fire again, and Roland ran to the window to take a look, and sure enough, it was the second wave of "Blue Storm", that is, the second wave of cavalry!
This time the artillery seemed to have calculated the speed of the cavalry, and after several successive rounds of cannon roar and explosion, only a few cavalry rushed under the hull, no matter how fierce they were, they were not enough to threaten the Golden Dream in quantity and quality.
