Chapter 20: The Great Wave
Lumian thought about it for a moment, and felt that there might not be any other big trouble.
Because Philip can only think that there is some big trouble hidden on the ship based on the reaction of the "bone splitter" Basil, know which passengers or crew may have problems, and which ones are more suspicious, and are not sure who is the real big trouble, and dare not be sure, therefore, the object of his suspicion is not necessarily equal to the hidden big trouble, and it is more likely to be sitting next to him.
That is, it is more likely that the big trouble is real, that it is Lumian himself and his newfound godson Ludwig, but Philip is not aware of it, and excludes them, mistakenly treating others as suspects.
"Except for me and Ludwig, no matter if there is any other big trouble, what Philip just said is indeed right, before the big trouble shows signs of eruption, it is best not to investigate, do not provoke, pretend to be blind, deaf, mute, and wait for the other party to reach the destination smoothly and leave the 'Bird'" "
"Well, the premise of this is that there is no anomaly spreading at the moment, otherwise you still have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible, sometimes, if you don't pretend not to see it, it won't get worse, and the disaster in Cordu Village is a bloody lesson......" Lumian thought and sighed softly.
He turned to the side, also stretched out his right palm, shook Philip briefly, and said with a smile: "I'm glad to reach a consensus."
Philip breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his right hand, and gulped down most of the golden wheat beer.
He was worried about Louis. Berry, a guy who uses a fake identity and is suspected of being a wanted criminal, will be stubborn and adventurous, and will probably not listen to his own advice and have to figure out what the big trouble is to scare the "Black Octopus" away.
This kind of guy doesn't need sympathy to die because of this, and it's not good if everyone is in danger.
And now it seems, Louis. Berry is one of those young people who can communicate.
While Philip drank the rest of his beer, he kept looking for a reason to relax: the Misty Sea Islands and the Republic were not far apart, otherwise they would not have become the first overseas colony of Intis, and the "Asuka" could be reached directly without stopping at other ports to resupply.
If the weather conditions are good, then tomorrow evening, the "Asuka" should be able to dock at "Falin", the capital of the Misty Sea Islands, if it encounters quite bad weather, it needs to slow down, or change course, find another port for refuge, and arrive at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Maybe that big trouble will get off the ship in Farin Harbor?
In such a short period of a day or so, even if there is an anomaly spreading in the dark, it will not break out.
Bear with it and it's over!
After admonishing Lumien, Philip got off the barstool with his lover Gokia in his arms and left the noisy bar.
Lumian continued to drink the Lielanzi in his hand, and his mood didn't seem to be affected at all.
He smiled and asked Francesco, the bartender: "I've heard that many of Fenerport's people are more homesick, and even if they have to go out to earn a living, they will often go back, or write letters or send telegrams, and you will choose to go abroad, and you will work on ships where it is difficult to communicate with the outside world."
Francesco raised his left hand and gestured and said: "I like my family very much, but this kind of family where several generations live together, there will always be all kinds of problems and contradictions, my grandmother is a very wise woman, she manages the family well, but for young people, it is still too depressing, there are too many elders who will teach you their life experience."
"Also, my home is in Santa Harbor, and the Asuka goes there almost once a month, which is both a job and a trip home for me."
It's the same as the book about Fenerport...... The Fenerport people like to live together for several generations, forming a large family, in which the highest-ranking woman who has given birth to children is the natural matriarch and dominates the affairs of the family, whether her husband is still alive or not...... In a religious sense, such a woman is the embodiment of Mother Earth in the family....... Lumian doesn't just talk to Francesco the bartender for relaxation.
First, he wants to understand the situation of different passengers through the bartender's mouth, after all, his final destination is Santa Port, and it will take five or six days to arrive, it is important to pay attention to the various details of the "Asuka", and the second is to verify the knowledge in the books and master the customs of the Fenerport Kingdom, otherwise, when he arrives at Santa Port, he really finds contradictions that conflict with local customs, and he will miss it because he does not understand.
……
The night was peaceful, except for a child who got up twice in the middle of the night to eat and made the sound of chewing, Lumien did not hear anything unusual, and the slight shaking of the boat and the sound of waves outside the window created a good sleeping atmosphere.
When he thought that the Asuka would arrive at Port Farin, the capital of the Misty Sea Islands, in the evening, the weather suddenly changed.
The ocean, which had been filled with only a light mist, suddenly boiled, and the huge waves were like mountain peaks, one after another.
The Asuka rose and fell in the waves, and no longer had the feeling of being a behemoth.
Now it is more like a leaf between the sky and the earth, a toy in the hands of the giant of the ocean, small, fragile, and ready to capsize at any moment.
The waves did not correspond to the night-like scene, nor the torrential rain that fell, except for the howling of the wind, and the fog blown away from the heights, revealing a clear blue sky.
The sailor on the lookout slid down a rope and raised the telescope in his hand to Philip on the deck: "Chief, this wave is not quite right!"
"We are the only ones with such big waves, and the rest of the place is calm!"
"It's not raining here!"
Philip put his arms around Gochia, who was pale and trembling from the power of heaven and earth, and instinctively frowned.
Unusual waves?
That big trouble?
As soon as he flashed such a thought, the "Asuka" was thrown into the air by a huge wave, and then fell on another wave.
This brought extremely terrifying bumps and shaking, and many passengers were so frightened that they screamed and cried.
They felt that the "Asuka" was about to capsize, and they and others were about to be shipwrecked.
Lugano, in room 5 of the first class, grabbed the window frame and watched the dining table slide to the other side, looking quite determined.
What he thought was that the "Bird" really wouldn't survive, Lumian. Lee will definitely take himself and Ludwig directly to Farin Harbor.
Lumian looked at the calm blue ocean beyond the waves and smelled something unusual.
He did not hesitate, and took out the "peeping glasses" from the "traveler's bag" to see what hidden problems had brought about this "natural disaster".
After the brown gold-rimmed glasses were framed on the bridge of Lumien's nose, he felt the familiar vertigo, and saw the various scenes around him concentrated in a chaotic way: the deck was tossed by a huge wave, Philip, who urgently grabbed a rope, fell heavily with Gochia, and the head of security, in order to protect his new lover, took the initiative to put himself underneath, and made a thudming sound, and the palm of his hand was broken by the friction of the rope, and there was blood leaking out;
Inside the restaurant, plates and knives and forks flew up, and several customers were thrown around;
In a certain room, there is a female figure sitting by the window, as if sobbing, but the whole is blurry, and the specific appearance is not clear;
The boiler room was littered with spilled coal, and the bottom of the ship was crawling with a large number of shellfish, dense and palpitating;
And under the blue waters, there is a strange fish looking up at the undulating "Asuka"!
It was the size of a common shark, its gray-black body was covered with no scales, and instead it was replaced by one nearly circular ball of flesh, some of which shimmered like stars, connected to each other to form strange symbols, a pair of eyes on each side of its face, and a mouth that extended out like a flagpole.
Around this strange fish, there are many fish similar to it, as if a group has been formed.
Lumien jerked off his "voyeur glasses" and gasped as he slipped them into his "traveler's bag".
He initially suspected that the strange fish had caused the unnoticeable waves, and it was difficult to tell whether it was the cause of the rising and falling waves, or the cause of all this.
Considering that the strange fish was sinking underwater, Lumian gave up on the idea of using a huge fireball to guide the Asuka artillery group to bombard the area.
He directly activated the black mark on his right shoulder and "teleported" to the nearby sea he had just seen.
In the process, he took out the blackened bone flute with multiple dark red holes.
This is the "Hatred Movement" from General Philip!
Lumian's figure was drawn in the air, and as he fell downward, he brought the blackened bone flute to his mouth.
When he was in the village of Koldu, he learned how to play the flute with the shepherds, and he was also reminiscing and reviewing these days, and at this time he played a melodious melody that fluttered smoothly, as if he was homesick.
This is the shepherd's favorite tune for the transition.
The dull explosion of fireballs sent waves upward, slowing Lumien's fall, and the sound of the flute, which seemed to sound from the depths of fate, penetrated through the sea and into the "ears" of the strange fish below and its kind.
Suddenly, the strange fish froze, and the mountain-like waves fell, but no new ones were produced.
Bang, bang, bang, the smaller fish or head around the monster fish explodes, or frantically besiege their companions, or just die and float to the surface.
Lumien's fall suddenly accelerated, and his feet, legs, and body sank into the icy water.
He was still playing the longing music of the shepherds, and felt the sea water reach his neck and threaten to flood his mouth.
In the next second, dark red blood flowed out of the four eyes and different bumps of the shark-sized strange fish.
The waves of terror quickly subsided.
With only half of his head above the water, Lumian put down his bone flute, smiled, and used the Spirit Shuttle again.
Ahem, ahem! When he returned to room 5 of the first class, his mouth continued to spew salty seawater.
In order to make the music sound good enough, he ended playing too late and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of seawater, and at the same time, he was worried that too much movement would affect the "teleportation", so he endured it until he returned, and then choked out.
Is this a sign of bad luck? Lumian thought to himself. <
Lugano looked at him drenched and stunned, "Solved?"
"Looks like it." Lumian smiled in response.
His shoes and trouser legs were torn, blackened, and dripping with seawater.
At this moment, the passengers and crew members who found the waves subsided, burst into cheers all over the "Asuka": "Praise the sun!"
"Steam is on top!"
"Thank you to the Mother of All Things!"
