141. One day, a maiden fell from the sky

"The curtain of the world."

Qiao Du chewed on the name.

In the field of vision, crimson words appeared above the black curtain.

[The clouds that can be seen everywhere in the Valley of the Wind, even the fastest ship will fly in it for a month, in fact, the vast majority of brave adventurers will not survive more than three days in a thunderstorm, I advise you not to be one of them]

"To be precise, it should be called Sulawey, as the old people call it, that is the name of a legendary heavenly veil beast, and the curtain of the world is just the name given by the captain himself."

The young man, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, explained.

"Hehe, this thing separates Hongdao from the world, this name is very apt, isn't it?"

The captain was dismissive of the old man's name, and instead trusted his own judgment.

"Noah, this time we managed to sail through the storm for three days and three nights, this is a historic breakthrough, worthy of a half-day celebration, give me a good record in the logbook, just write, the great captain Isaac and his faithful crew braved the storm and exited safely after three days of fierce battle in the center of the vortex, which is the prelude to his great voyage!"

The captain who called himself Isaac seemed to value this, and hurriedly asked the young man named Noah to record it.

"Wasn't it for the sake of testing the new ship that the hapless Captain Isaac and his poor crew strayed into a storm and ran out of all supplies before they escaped and died?"

Noah scoffed at this.

It can be seen that he is a little bit of a natural revolt in his body.

"Boy, believe it or not, I'm going to drop you now?"

Captain Isaac patted Noah on the back of the head and rolled his eyes again.

"Speaking of supplies, we have some last jerky, I'm hungry, it's time to eat."

"Yay!"

When it comes to dry rice, Qiao Du is the most active.

He looked back at the black storm that was gradually lagging behind, and then at the side of the ship.

The clouds are rolling like waves, and you can't see the land or the sea, and no one knows what you'll see if you go down.

However, Qiao Twilight felt that their height was not very high, the oxygen content was no different from the ground, and it was also possible that the environment of the foreign land itself was very different from the world he was in, in short, Qiao Twilight's mind was all attracted by the jerky in Captain Isaac's mouth.

Lunch, or rather dinner, was eaten on deck.

There was no condition to make a fire, and Noah gave each of the three of them a piece of jerky and a glass of water, which was used as a meal.

Qiao Du looked at the jerky in his hand, he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was at first glance, it was about the length of his palm, it was dry, and it had a salty taste when he bit it, which tested his teeth.

[The dried meat of flying squirrels, these things give birth to cubs even faster than people eat them, maybe this is the gift of nature! 】

In the field of vision, words as red as blood crawled out of the cracks in the dried flesh, like ants, densely packed.

"Flying squirrel meat?"

Qiao Du asked.

"That's right, Aunt Mei Mei is good at doing this, her pickled flying squirrel meat tastes just right, but my mother is different, she always makes it very salty, and she can barely eat it when she soaks it in water."

The young man Noah replied, and he ate what he had in hand with a mouthful of dried meat and a mouthful of water, and went into the cabin to check the operation.

"These flying squirrels are wonderful little creatures that can give birth to a litter in just one night."

Captain Isaac sighed and continued.

"It's just that the recipe here is too crude, I used to eat a kind of meat when I had dinner with General Oak, boiled in only spices, then sliced, dipped in a special sauce to eat, can bring out the aroma of the meat itself, flying squirrel meat should also be tried in this way."

"Captain, flying squirrel meat will only smell of urine when doing this, please don't substitute outside knowledge here."

Noah came out of the cabin with a slightly worn book in his hand, and he sat next to the side of the boat, flipping it through at random, apparently having read it many times, so it didn't matter if he started reading it from any page.

"Outside knowledge?"

Qiao Du asked.

At the same time, some blood-red writing emerged from the side of the smug captain Isaac.

[His words are not credible, the only thing worth noting is that this guy has indeed seen the outside world, but only before!] 】

"yes, didn't I tell you? I'm from outside the Veil of the World, and I'm a captain who has truly seen the world! ”

Captain Isaac puffed up.

Noah, on the side, showed an expression of "this guy has started again", buried in the book, but still pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

"As you know, General Oak is a great general, he has been assassinated by government forces seventeen times, the most dangerous one, the opponent's bullet passed through his chest, fortunately it was his right chest, he is a legend, and I, who fought with General Oak, is his most effective general."

The middle-aged captain pulled his wind-blown hair back as if to show off his former glory, but the messy wind blew it again, and he wiped it twice, and he had to give up.

"On that day, it should have been five years ago, I led the fleet to carry out a sneak attack, those fools of the government army could not have known our route at all, but the weather was too bad, we moved a little slower, we were caught by the tail, a total of thirty floating warships on both sides of us launched a fierce battle in the sea of clouds, pop, bang, gunfire, even the clouds were dyed red."

He paints and paints, his hands in various gestures, supporting his narration, as if the great Captain Isaac would immediately lose his ability to speak if his hands were trapped.

"The battle lasted a whole day, and we were on the verge of victory, but the storm came unexpectedly, a furious storm that I had never seen before, like the curtain of the world."

Captain Isaac paused, looking out at the dark skyline in the distance.

"Yes, like the curtain of the world. My boat tried to find balance in the midst of the storm, but in the end it crashed due to the wear and tear of the battle, I grabbed a sheet and struggled through the storm, and finally, blessed by the goddess of the moon, I managed to land on a fishing boat. ”

"To be precise, Captain, you hit my ship when you fell, and you may be one step away from death by then."

Noah, who was reading on the side, suddenly raised his head and added.

"Of course, I was lucky."

Twilight probably understood the origin of the Isaac captain, who came from the outside of the World Veil and was picked up by Noah because of the storm that fell into it.

Therefore, the existence of Captain Isaac proves two things, the first is that the Valley of the Wind has a well-formed and developed civilization, and it is not a wilderness.

Secondly, the Veil of the World can be traversed alive.

"Nonsense, you must know that this place is so big, I happened to fall on your ship at that time, this is the will of heaven, it is the will of the goddess of moonlight!"

Captain Isaac scoffed.

"Captain, I have a question."

Qiao Du suddenly asked.

"What, do you want to know any more about my legends?"

Captain Isaac looked at it, expectantly.

"Did you fall like that?"

Qiao Du pointed to the sky not far away.

There, two figures were falling downward.
