"How long does it take for the left thruster to start?" Yahab asked again.

The chief engineer's reply soon came: "Half a point." ”

It would take another half a minute, and the two whales were moving away from the Moby Dick faster and faster. Despite the shattered wing bones and the mutilation of their open golden membranes, their speeds of speed reached 150 knots with the strenuous stroke of their four wings, meaning that it would be impossible for the whaling ship to catch up with them until the left engine was restarted.

With a rare hesitation, Yaha watched the backs of the two whales leaving, without giving any orders.

Xia Ye looked at her and suddenly smiled: "If you don't want to let those two whales go, I can help." ”

"Do you have a way?" Jahab turned his head.

"Hmm. I have a contract to fly over and catch up with them, not to mention intercept both, at least one is fine. ”

Even though Summer Night said this, Yaha didn't show an excited expression, but asked, "Then what are your conditions?" ”

"Oh, you know me."

Xia Ye smiled slightly, poked her chin with her fingers, tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly beckoned to Yaha, "Bend down, I'll tell you quietly." ”

Although she knew that she didn't have any good intentions, Yaha obediently approached, after all, the forty thousand mo'er that she was about to get was now flying farther and farther.

"I've always wanted to ask, you actually hate me, don't you?" Summer night whispered in Jaha's ear.

"I didn't ......"

Before Yaha could finish speaking, he was stopped by Xia Ye with a gesture: "You don't have to rush to deny it, because in fact, I don't care." The reason why I want to confirm this is because knowing this, what I want you to do next will make me happier......"

"What the hell do you want to do...... Yaha frowned.

"That's the chart table......" Summer Night pointed to the table with the charts, it was about a meter high, wide and stable.

“？”

"I want to sit on the edge of it......"

“？？”

"a Erlang's leg ......"

“？？？”

"Then you knelt down in front of me, and took off my little leather shoes, revealing my lovely little feet. At last...... Help me change a pair of socks, because I'm tired of wearing these pantyhose and want to change a pair of stockings. That's what I'm asking for, how about it, it's simple, right? Promise me, I'll help you stop the 20,000 Mo'er that flew away. ”

"......" Yaha couldn't have imagined that Summer Night would make such a strange request.

And Xia Ye added with a grin: "You just have to promise me first." I can do things first, and then you will fulfill your promise, because I believe in your character, ship, length, big, people~"

"I refuse." Yaha said decisively.

"Huh? Do you have such a strong sense of self-esteem? I thought this offer would be a good deal for you. Summer Night blinked innocently: "If you find it too difficult to accept, why don't you ...... Can I become Momo? Then you come and help me change my socks, so it's much easier to accept, right? ”

"I still refuse."

Summer Night narrowed her eyes and looked at Yaha with an angry expression.

But what Yaha's next words were unexpected:

"It's not that I find it difficult to meet your request. I simply thought that we should give up on the two whales that had escaped, harvest the whale oil from the whale in front of me, and then run away. ”

"Huh?" Summer Night looked stunned.

Yahab didn't have time to explain to her first. She immediately gave a series of orders to the first mate and the helmsman, and the deck came alive again, and soon Moby Dick propped up his airbags, and his speed dropped to less than 30 knots, and he slowly approached the dead whale in an almost floating fashion.

When the arrangements were made, Yaha said to Summer Night, "Those two whales left too unusually. Whales are very vindictive creatures, not to mention that after our two penetrating bombs were blocked, they already had the absolute upper hand, but after the call of the whale pack, it left in such a hurry. Although I couldn't understand the language of the whales, I could guess that they were being chased by something dangerous. ”

As he spoke, the Moby Dick had reduced its speed to zero, alongside the dead whale, docked to its side. The barrier against the aetheric winds expands outward, enveloping the whales as well. The first mate took to deck with the crew, all with a huge, foldable saw knife in their hands.

"We're short on time, and there could be something very dangerous approaching here." The first mate said in a soft tone to all the crew members with saw blades.

"So, we need to harvest the entire whale oil in fifteen minutes, and whoever slows down for a while, I'll use this knife to cut off her head."

As she spoke, she smiled and raised the saw knife in her hand and slashed twice at the whale a few meters away.

Two seconds later, several long cracks appeared on the surface of the whale's body, and then, a piece of flesh larger than a human slowly slipped down, falling right at the feet of the first mate, making a muffled "bang", and the golden whale blood splashed on her body.

"Do you understand?" The first mate asked with a pleasant face.

"Understood!!" The crew replied with great spirits.

……

Summer night through the glass of the wheelhouse, looking at the crew harvesting whale oil. It was obviously a familiar job for them, and the maidens wielded huge saw knives to cut through the tough skin of the whales, cutting away the flesh of the whales that were of little value, leaving only the golden, translucent, jelly-like solids.

That's whale oil before refining.

An adult whale weighs about 1,200 tons, and whale oil is about one-sixth of its body weight, or 200 tons, and the average ton of whale oil contains a full 100 moles. Therefore, a whale is worth at least 20,000 moles.

And that's not counting the "by-products" of whale skin, wing bones, etc.

"Are they using a 'felling' contract?" Summer Night asked.

"That's right." Jahab replied.

No wonder they have so much power even after leaving the whaling ship, Summer Night thought to herself.

The saw blade in the hands of the witches is nearly a meter long, and the handle folded behind the knife is also of the same length, and when the saw blade is unfolded from the folded state, the full length of the weapon will be taller than the height of most witches, and the weight of the weapon is also more than the weight of most people.

According to the knowledge gained from Lucana, the witches who signed the "felling" contract were one of the main combat forces when hunting whales, but this time Yaha solved the problem with the angle of attack, so there was no chance for them to appear.

After a while, the rectangular boxes filled with whale oil were lifted onto the whaling ship one by one and sent into the holds. The words of the first mate at the beginning were obviously very motivating, the crew all moved quickly, no one dared to be lazy, and the huge whale had been eaten up by more than half in the blink of an eye.

The north-west whale colony is also getting farther away from the whaling ship, and it won't be long before they are completely out of sight. The sea of clouds was calm, and it seemed that the previous worries were nothing more than unfounded worries.

"You see, you really should still agree to give me socks, and by simply doing it, you can earn at least 20,000 more moles." Summer Night said to Yaha half-jokingly.

Before Yaha could answer, the voice of the second mate suddenly came from the microphone:

"Anomalous object spotted, at 7 o'clock...... No, at 8 o'clock! It's very fast! Rapidly approaching the whale colony! ”
