Chapter 452: Confusion and Self-Blame
Through the compass left by the founder, Lucius has gradually mastered the route to the east, but even with the compass of the founder, he cannot detect the danger that may exist in the chaotic sea.
Just as the reef group they encountered, and the sea monsters that attacked the ship before, these were all dangers that could not be shown on the compass, so whether there would be any danger on the road after that, and what kind of danger there would be, was still unknown to Lucius.
All Lucius could do was to cross the sea ahead as much as he could, try to avoid any dangers he might encounter, and be prepared for any danger.
After listening to Lucius's instructions, Beluti handed the telescope to Lucius and said, "You see, it seems that the separation barrier that Tu Bobo mentioned before should be in front of him, but it doesn't seem to be far away, maybe we should change course and go straight there." ”
Lecius took the telescope and looked through the telescope to the front of the ship, and sure enough, he could vaguely see that in the extreme distance, there seemed to be a barrier blocking the way, and on the other side of the barrier was a sunny scene.
He handed the telescope to Tuo Bobo beside him, who took the telescope and looked directly ahead of the ship through the telescope according to the instructions.
Seeing the barrier and the scene behind the barrier, Tuo Bobo immediately exclaimed: "Yes, yes, it's there, it's that barrier, as long as you pass through, you should enter the Eastern Sea." ”
Taking the telescope handed back by Tuo Bobo, Lucius looked at the compass on the cab table again, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to Belletti, "Continue on the original route." ”
Belletti hesitated, looked ahead and said, "Do you really want to follow the route given by the compass? The barrier seems to be not far ahead, maybe we can try to break through?"
In fact, anyone who sees that barrier, that barrier that is almost likely to be a barrier between the eastern and western seas, will probably choose to go straight. Try to see if you can get close to and get past that barrier.
After all, it would save more time, and even if there was any danger, as long as you stayed on the steel battleship, no one should be hurt.
However, Lucius stubbornly shook his head: "No, we can't risk the lives of so many people on the ship, and now they are no longer able to use the power given by the rules, with our own strength alone, we may not be able to be so lucky this time every time." So try to choose a safer route, since the compass of the founder gives the route, we should follow the route. ”
At this time, although he had just won a victory, Lucius was not carried away by the victory, he still remained cautious and sober, and made the most prudent decision accurately.
Beludi stared at Lucius for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then do as you say." We will follow the route given by the compass. ”
Lucius smiled and took two steps forward, reached out and patted Beluti on the shoulder and said, "Please, these are extraordinary times, we must be more cautious." Remember, don't change your route. ”
Listening to Lucius's words, Belletti was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lucius's gaze. Beluti vaguely felt that her every qiē seemed to have been seen through by Lucius.
Suppressing the horror in her heart, Belletti nodded solemnly. It was in response to Lucius's request.
After that, Lucius did not linger too long, and explained a few words to Augustine, leaving Ben Bo Erba and Tu Bobo behind, leaving only with No. 3 and No. 4.
Seeing Lucius leave the cab, Augustine looked at Beludi a little strangely and said, "Why? Why does he seem to have some distrust of you, is there something going on between the two of you?"
Without waiting for Beludi to reply, Ben Bo Erba said in an old voice: "Ahem, in fact, you really shouldn't change the course at will, you think he didn't notice it, in fact, he is a very powerful guy, don't look at the compass left by him, he still knows the direction of your every rudder turn." ”
Augustine looked at Belletti in disbelief, he had no idea that Belletti would change course without permission, which was simply a betrayal of Lucius.
Seeing that Beludi still didn't speak, Ben Bo Erba continued: "I know, you don't trust us, you think we handed over the compass, you can't trust it, but have you ever thought that we sea beasts can make this kind of compass, and the routes recorded in it, can we sea beasts do this?"
Beludi thought about it in her heart, and felt that what Rush Erba said was very reasonable, and he knew very well that the compass mechanism, especially the device for recording the route, could only be made by the creator in the world.
At this moment, Beludi understood that it was her own care, and it was almost impossible for the Sea Beast Clan to do something on the compass.
Belletti turned to Rush and saluted, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my misunderstanding, I did it out of caution, I don't want Lucius to be hurt in any way." ”
Rushing Erba smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe, I can understand, I have seen the mechanical demon spirit of Shamrock, and I know that you are absolutely loyal to His Highness Lucius, so you only did it because of suspicion of us." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the sea outside, sighed and said, "In this chaotic sea area, for thousands of years, no one in our Sea Beast Clan dared to break in, and this is also a forbidden area for us. ”
Augustine asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't you use the Founder's Compass, and if you used Hope's Compass, you should be able to travel through the Chaotic Sea, right?"
Tuo Bobo said at this time: "No, the sea beast kings of the past generations have tried, but in the end they all failed, some sea beast kings have not even been able to return alive, only the compass will return to the sea beast clan by itself." ”
Belletti and Augustine looked at each other, and then the two of them understood that the compass could not be used by everyone, and that at least the Clover royal blood needed to be used.
In this way, Belletti was even more relieved, and drove the steel battleship along the route given by the compass, and after slowly passing through the reefs, she turned the rudder and continued to advance into the depths of the sea.
Standing alone in the bow of the ship, looking at the gray sky in front of him, the ruins showing the deep blue water, and his heart was as depressed as the gray sky, this adventure really worried him.
The unknown ahead. It is not something that can be avoided by being cautious, unknown dangers always make him feel uneasy, and even he begins to suspect that maybe he is not on the right path.
This unspeakable worry, but Lucius could not express it, because if even he had no faith, how could he reassure others?
Once the panic spreads, it will be unimaginable, and I am afraid that the harmony on the ship will fall apart, and everyone may become their enemies. You may even give yourself a knife without mercy.
Every time he thought of this, Lecius would feel a chill in his heart, as if he saw the collapsed crowd, stabbing himself angrily one by one.
Lucius didn't want to see that scene, just thinking about it made his back feel cold, and he didn't dare to think about it at all, so he could only try to divert his attention.
Just when Lucius was in a daze, someone suddenly slapped him from behind, and Lucius was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body. The whole man almost fell forward and fell from the bow of the ship.
Fortunately, a hand grabbed him behind his back, and then Du Liniang's voice came: "What's the matter? You seem to be a little out of control, are you in trouble?"
Hear Du Liniang's voice behind her. Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Du Liniang's concerned gaze, and Lucius felt a sour nose.
After thinking about it, he still whispered to Du Liniang: "Auntie, me." I'm a little scared, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead you through here. In the end, everyone will be trapped here. ”
Du Liniang looked at Lucius with his head down, his deep hand gently stroked Lucius's hair, and his palm slid down Lucius's cheek, and said softly: "Child, don't be afraid, even if we really encounter danger, we can't break through, everyone won't blame you, and you should believe in your own ability, don't forget, you are the inheritor of the founder." ”
Standing there quietly, letting Du Liniang's palm caress his face, Lucius could clearly feel that Du Liniang's palm was no longer as smooth as before, and seemed to have become a little rough.
He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Du Liniang's hand, and looked at the palm that was originally smooth and jade, but now it was full of wrinkles, and the palm had become rough.
looked at Du Liniang's cheeks again, and saw that although she was still beautiful, the corners of her eyes and mouth had clearly visible wrinkles.
At this moment, Lucius was like being struck by lightning, trembling and taking two steps back, looking at Du Liniang in a daze and muttering: "Yes, it's me, it's all my fault, it's me who let you enter this chaotic sea and make you lose the power given by the rules, this, this qiē is all my fault." ”
Seeing Lucius's painful appearance, Du Liniang stretched out her hand again, lifted Lucius's lowered head and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, you can't be blamed for this, you didn't expect it to be like this, did you?"
"I, I, I ......" Lucius looked at Du Liniang's kind and kind expression, but he didn't know what to say.
For Du Liniang and the guilt of everyone on board, if it weren't for his insistence on crossing the ocean, wanting to find the route of the original founder, and going to the east through the route that had been hidden for a long time, maybe it wouldn't be like this?
As if knowing Lucius's thoughts, Du Liniang smiled and said, "Hehe, silly boy, do you think that if we don't take this road, we have other ways to go?"
Hearing this, Lucius raised his head suddenly, but heard Du Liniang say: "Silly boy, this is a problem we must face, but now is not the time to blame, you should not blame yourself, we should work together to find a way to get through this difficulty." ”
Lucius finally came to his senses, listened to Du Liniang's persuasion and comfort, he walked out of self-blame, understood the responsibility he had to shoulder now, and the confusion in his heart before was swept away.
The cloudy eyes regained their brilliance, and she said firmly to Du Liniang: "Auntie, I understand, don't worry, I won't give up on myself again, I will definitely work hard, work hard with everyone, and break through this insurmountable chaotic sea." ”
Du Liniang smiled and nodded when she heard this, and suddenly raised her head and gave Lucius a violent shudder: "Stinky boy, that's right, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you to eat." ”
Lecius rubbed his head and grinned as he followed Du Liniang towards the cabin, where a joyful conversation echoed across the deck.
"Auntie, can you be lighter next time? I found that your chestnut seems to be getting heavier and heavier? The wrinkles on your body can't be pretended by yourself, right?"
"Stinky boy, what's the, I think you're itchy on the skin, right?"
"Oops, oops...... Auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong......" (to be continued......
