Chapter Seventy-Six: Blowing the Wind
"By the way, I have one more question." Summer Night said.
"Huh?"
"Do whalers have taboos like 'you can't look into the depths of the Aether Sea'?"
Not long ago, she looked into the depths of the Aetheric Sea, which caused an unusual reaction to the contract in her body.
When Yaha heard this, he shook his head: "We have never had a taboo like this. β
"Then when you look down, can you see anything strange? Will the body react in any way? β
"Nope. What else can there be below besides the cloud being the cloud? β
"Hmmm......"
So this phenomenon will only appear in oneself? Summer Night thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't there anyone trying to explore the depths of the Aetheric Sea and see what's there?" β
"Yes, but not us." Ahab replied, "We only care about whales, and as for the bottom of the ocean, that's what Aether exploration is concerned about. β
Summer Night suddenly realized that "Aether Exploration" set up a well to drill magic from the bottom of the sea, and if you want to ask about the depths of the Aether Sea, of course you have to find them.
As for whether "Aether exploration" will take care of the penniless self, that is another question......
She jotted down this message in her mind and raised another doubt of her own:
"Why use a barrier to block the aetheric winds? What are the repercussions if you don't block it? β
"The aetheric wind will blow the magic away." Yahab replied.
"Blow away?"
"If you are directly exposed to the aetheric wind, the rate of mana loss increases dramatically, and the faster the wind speed, the faster the loss rate. At the current speed of the Debussota, if we don't put up the barrier, our mana will lose 1 more every few minutes. β
"I see. Does the barrier have any other function? Like physical protection or something? β
"There is a barrier in Debussota, but this one on the ship can only be used to block ordinary winds and etheric winds."
Hearing this answer, an idea popped up on Summer Night and decided to try it now.
"I don't have any other questions." She said to Yaha, "You're busy, I have something else to do, bye~"
Summer Night waved her hand and turned around to leave, but Yaha suddenly stopped her: "Wait. β
"What's wrong?"
"What were you going to say to me?"
"Before?" Summer Night was stunned for a moment before remembering that there was something else she was going to say to Yaha, but it was interrupted because the thruster was about to enter ram mode.
"It's not important, don't care."
When she said this, Yaha was more concerned: "I still want to know." β
"Okay. Didn't you say before that you found the first and second officers? I was going to compliment you on being a pretty good captain, that's all. Summer Night had a reluctant expression on her face.
"That's it?"
"Pretty much."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, forget it, since you insist on asking, I'll repeat it again, close my eyes." Summer Night said helplessly.
"Why do you want to close your eyes......" Yaha was a little confused, but obediently did so.
"Cough, cough, ah, ahβ" Summer Night quickly adjusted her tone, "Alright, open your eyes." β
When Yahab heard the voice, she had already sensed that something was wrong, and when she opened her eyes, she saw unexpectedly and unexpectedlyβ
Momo in a sailor suit.
"Yaha-sama, you're a good captain, come on!"
The girl stood within reach, with a sweet smile, looking up at Yaha, her slender arms clenched into small fists, just like a cheering gesture.
Yaha stared blankly at the eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word, and when she came back to her senses a little, Momo's voice had changed back to the voice of a summer night, and her demeanor had returned to her usual appearance.
"That's it...... At the time, I wanted to play a joke on you, but then I thought it was boring to always use dead people to tease you, so I decided to forget it. I didn't expect you to have to get to the bottom of it yourself, so it's no wonder to me. β
While speaking, Xia Ye's facial features also began to change, and the appearance of the two was not much different, and after only a few seconds, the last trace of Momo disappeared without a trace.
"Bye-bye~" Summer Night turned around and slipped away.
"The ......"
"What's wrong again?" She stopped impatiently.
"Thank you." Yaha whispered.
Summer Night was stunned, replied with an "oh", and turned to leave. This time, Yaha finally didn't stop her.
β¦β¦
She wasn't in a hurry to escape, but she really wanted to test something.
Out of the wheelhouse, she continued up the stairs to the top platform of the bridge. In the center of the platform is a tall mast, and near the top of the mast is a platform only a few square meters in size, which is the whaling ship's lookout.
On one side of the mast, a row of metal bars is welded that extends to the position of the lookout, which is the ladder leading to the lookout.
Summer Night looked at the "ladder" that didn't even have a handrail, and then looked at the observatory about twenty meters high, and finally decided-
"Xiu, hang me up." As her good partner, Xiu Ji also got on the boat.
"No problem, 1 Mor." The black cat quoted a price.
"There's no magic reward this time."
"Huh? Then I don't ......."
"But don't you want to go outside and blow the wind?" Summer Night smiled and pointed to the top of her head.
Xiu was stunned for a few seconds, and finally understood what she meant. It clicked on the cat's head and jumped onto the mast with a "whoosh", and the pads on its feet were like suction, attaching it to the almost vertical surface of the mast.
It took an elegant catwalk, and soon reached the bottom of the lookout, and then, with its body turned into a long, thin tentacle that was wrapped around the watchtower's railing at one end and extended down at the other end, until it hung down to the side of the summer night.
After Summer Night grabbed it, the tentacles circled around the arm a few more times before it began to shrink, hoisting the girl directly onto the lookout.
Summer night climbed over the guardrail, and the first thing I saw was an unexpected person.
Tang Li was standing on the lookout, talking to another crew member.
"Leave it to me here, you can go and rest for a while, and wait for me to inform you before you come up."
"Okay, Master Tang Li."
The bow tie on the crew's chest is purple, indicating that it is a lookout.
After the lookout finished talking to Tang Li, he nodded to the summer night that had just come up, and then skillfully climbed over the railing and jumped directly.
Two seconds later, there was a "thump" from below.
Xia Ye looked down and found that the other party was standing firmly on the platform, and she suddenly reacted, for these crew members who had signed a "structural reinforcement", jumping directly from the height of a six-story building was nothing at all.
No wonder the ladder on the mast is so foolishly designed...... Because no one will use it at all.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Li was the first to speak. Probably because there was no one else around, she reverted to her middle-sense style of speaking.
"I'm here to blow the wind." Summer Night said, "What about you? β
"Survey the sea."
"Oh...... Then don't bother. Xia Ye nodded, walked to the other end of the platform, and said to Xiu Ji who was lying on top of his head, "You come first?" β
"I'll go first, I'll go first."
"Okay."
After Xia Ye finished speaking, he grabbed the black cat by the neck and threw it out of the barrier with all his might.
