153. There is a storm ahead
Early morning.
When the first rays of light fell on the canopy of the sacred tree on Rainbow Island, Noah's floatboat was also preparing to set sail.
The ship was equipped with a towing cabin to hold some water and food that was consumed before entering the World Curtain, and it would take at least three days to get from Hongdao to the border of the World Curtain, even if it was the fastest way forward.
"The Veil of the World is not all storms, according to the records left by the expeditions that came back before, there are also some places where the storm is weaker, there are floating islands, and we can find a place to settle in them."
Noah repeated the precautions mentioned earlier.
Deep into the curtain of the world, the storm is not the most dangerous, the danger is the long and distant journey, no one knows when the journey will end, whether it will end, just like sailing in one direction in the universe, no one knows when they will arrive at a place where they can stay, it is easy to lead to a situation similar to the dark forest.
This is especially true when food supplies are insufficient.
They counted everything and prepared to pull anchor and set sail.
Captain Isaac stood at the bottom and had no intention of getting on the boat.
"Captain, aren't you really coming along?"
Noah stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the middle-aged man.
"There's no place for me to stay outside, I'm a remnant of the old era, and I can't catch this new era ship."
Captain Isaac smiled helplessly.
Noah was silent for a moment, not continuing to persuade.
After all, one less person requires fewer supplies.
Rationally, there was no problem with Captain Isaac's choice.
The hemp rope that binds the float is untied, and Noah controls the float to rise in the cabin and sail with his back to Rainbow Island.
The hometown grew smaller and smaller behind him, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
"This is a prop I made modeled after the wings of birds."
The voyage was long and boring, and since Noah had chosen a relatively safe route and avoided all the storms, he had time for Ah Xin and Qiao Dui, who had learned to drive the boat, to take a hand and rest for himself.
Pointing to the slightly rudimentary-looking backpack, Noah said to the dark-blonde girl Enya.
Qiao Twilight looked over, it was the backpack that Noah used to save the two girls before, and he could spread his wings and flutter like a bird.
From a physical point of view, this thing can't fly anyway, but since it's a foreign land, and even connected dreams, it's not a big deal to fly a winged backpack.
Some students may ask, can Exotic Technology explain everything?
To this, Qiao Du replied, yes, asking is a foreign land.
"It's amazing, can I give it a try, uh, I mean just try it on deck and don't fly out."
Enya was eager to give it a try.
Noah thought for a moment.
"Well, I should also teach you how to use this in case you need it."
He seemed to have thought of it, and it wasn't difficult to briefly explain the use of this jetpack, because after removing the principle of why this thing flies, operating this thing was like playing a game.
Although the Valley of the Wind doesn't have the technology that can make machines self-aware like the school city, nor does it have the supernatural powers of humans like the Inhumans of the old city, it gives Jo Twilight a magical feeling, full of primitive and wild beauty.
Enya took her wings on her back under Noah's inspection.
With both hands gently spreading, the wings immediately opened, and with a flutter, Enya flew into the sky.
No matter what foreign land you are in, it's nice to be able to fly freely in the sky.
She was only going to float above deck for a while, but soon she began to circle around the floatship, making fancy movements, as if the instinct to fly was innate.
Seeing this, Qiao Du suddenly remembered a product she had seen in the Chosen One Mall, saying that it was wings that everyone in the Valley of the Wind had.
Now it seems that not everyone in the Valley of the Wind has wings, but Noah's invention, if it can be promoted, maybe it will become what Qiao Twilight saw in the mall.
It's a pity that that thing is also at the level of [mortal], and the price is not high, otherwise Qiao Du would have to learn a little bit of craftsmanship and put a few on the mall to sell.
"There's a storm ahead."
When Enya landed, she pointed to the left front of the floatboat.
There were only heavy clouds, and there were no signs of a storm in sight, but in the sea of clouds, clouds were already rare, and it was best to avoid them to be on the safe side.
Noah controls the float to change direction and marks the cloud map.
This is an old cloud map, which has been baptized by the years and is slightly yellowed.
"My father left behind, he entered the Veil of the World three times, the first two times he came back because of supplies and the failure of the floatboat, and as for the third time, he did not come back."
Noah said.
"At best, he might have left here and gone to the outside world."
Enya said.
"It's unlikely, because if someone really came out of the World Veil, then the whole world would know about it, but in fact, no one knew about the existence of the World Veil at all."
Ah Xin said calmly on the side.
“.”
Enya stopped talking.
"Have you never heard of the curtain of the world?"
Qiao Du was curious.
According to the scale, it is a super huge storm cloud, and people outside should not know at most that there are floating islands and inhabitants in it, and they should not even know about the existence of this storm.
"There are many unsolved mysteries in the depths of the sea of clouds, and we know very little about them, maybe this place is actually in the deepest part of the sea of clouds, and even if we leave through the storm, it will take us a few more months to reach the place where there are people."
Enya said in a deep voice.
"But the aborigines here, as well as the guys, all came here after the float boat was wrecked after the storm, theoretically speaking, it shouldn't have been blown too far."
Qiao Du said again.
According to Ah Xin and Enya's memory, they were also in a coma for a short period of time, at most half a day to a day, and in such a short time, it was difficult to be carried away by the storm too far away.
"I don't know, the storm itself has life, and it can't be judged by common sense."
Enya shook her head.
At this moment, the cloud had already brewed into a storm, and the color had turned pitch black, and there was a lightning meandering in it, but it was only a change of ten minutes.
Fortunately, I found it early and adjusted the route, otherwise I would have been in a hurry.
Night came quickly.
I don't know if it's because of the storm, but even on the floatboat, there are traces of dreams.
Twilight, who was in charge of the vigil, saw schools of fish swimming, people dancing at a grand ball, and cats meowing.
He saw countless jellyfish rising from the sea of clouds and drifting towards the moon in the sky.
He saw the thunderstorm farther and farther away, deep shadows looming in the light of the silence of the thunder.
He saw a man, Noah's father, looking at Noah's marked cloud map, thoughtful.
"There's a problem with your line."
Suddenly, Noah's father spoke.
"Huh?"
Qiao Du looked around and confirmed that the other party was talking to her.
"Can you see me?"
Qiao Du was curious, isn't this a dream, and he can still interact with himself like this.
"Here, death does not mean the end, stop talking nonsense, you will be in trouble if you continue to sail like this."
Noah's father urged.
