Crash

The elegant bow of the ship, which hangs the bow of the ship like a girl of the south wind, slowly pushes away the somewhat calm dark sea surface under the fog.

The hull of the ship made of pure gold brings a vivid light to this silent place, as if even this dark and wild sea has become bright.

Standing in the center of the golden light, the white sculpture is a slender and graceful half-naked girl dancing in the wind, wearing only a thin layer of light veil.

It is obviously a hard sculpture, but through the body movements of the girl and the layer of tulle, the shape of the wind and the vitality of the rhythm are perfectly outlined.

Just take a casual glance and you can immediately notice that there is a warm spring breeze blowing around her.

And that's exactly what happened.

In the windless belt that straddles the north and south of the equator, there is no lateral wind parallel to the sea surface, only updrafts, but the sails of the Golden Deer are still almost full.

Thanks to the magical effect of this shipwrew:

"Wind Direction Conductor. Distort and change the direction of the wind within a certain range so that the sea breeze blowing over the battleship tends to the side broadside wind that is most conducive to sailing.

Change the angle to plus or minus thirty degrees, and you can easily borrow force even if there is only updraft. ”

In addition, a [Large Sea Monster Ammonite] snail can be pulled by animal power, and the Golden Deer is added with a double insurance to pass through the windless zone.

Byron glanced up at the sky:

"It's just five o'clock in the evening, and the windless zone that should be directly exposed to the sun is already completely dark."

Then he ordered the crew:

"Light up the navigation lights, and the first mate repeats the taboo of night sailing."

On the mainmast of the Golden Deer, a whale oil lamp with inferior spice powder was hung high.

The bright blue light signals to other ships at sea, as well as to the nearby lighthouse, which is a boat here.

This is a common practice for sailing ships when sailing on a fixed route.

Unless you're the only one on your own boat exploring the open sea, it's best to prove to others that you're human.

While avoiding collisions, miscalculations are also avoided.

Bruch stood on the back deck, and his voice was clear to everyone's ears:

"Don't be too long-winded, now everyone repeats the taboo of night sailing overseas:

First, do not call each other by name directly, only call each other by nickname or code;

Second, do not inquire about any unusual noise coming from the sea, and report it to me or the captain immediately, and we will take turns on duty at night;

Third, once you are separated during night work, and when you meet other crew members later, you should verify the password and the position of the other party as soon as possible, and confirm that the other party is still the person you know, not something else;

Fourth, the danger of the celestial circulation belt is similar to that of the first circulation, and the time of staring at the sea surface should not exceed 20 minutes at a time;

If you don't have enough rank and strong enough [Anchor], it will make you feel the urge to return to the sea and become a fish, and the longer the time, the stronger the urge becomes.

Now all the crew members on board are on duty in two shifts, the first team stays, and the second team rests immediately.

As for the [Ten Commandments of Pirates] of the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company, I won't repeat them all.

In a non-wartime state, the lights are turned off at eight o'clock in the evening, and the violator himself receives ten nine-tailed cats tied to the projectile, and the punishment is doubled without a lampshade. ”

"Yes, First Mate!"

The sailors on board were the best sailors in the entire privateer's fleet, the remnants of the Lancastrians, and they acted swiftly as if they were one.

You know, any transcendent on an ordinary merchant ship is already qualified to be a captain, and the proportion of them is more than half.

And the literacy rate is an astonishing 100 percent.

Byron had been preparing for this operation for a long time, and had already armed the Golden Deer from the inside out, from personnel to equipment, to the teeth.

The farther away from the Silver Law and the Old World, the more volatile the weather becomes, under the influence of essentia tides.

The celestial circulation zone is located at the world's most sunny equator, but from time to time the interior is filled with fog and even mirages with extremely low visibility.

The Relic Battleship walked silently alone in the darkness.

Depression, loneliness, and the unknown hit all kinds of negative emotions together, and every sailor endured a huge psychological test at all times.

Especially at night, even all kinds of evil spirits, grotesques, monsters, and other messy things will come out.

With only a pair of naked eyes with limited vision, and a faint light, it is impossible to prevent those ubiquitous dangers.

"Delia, open the Lighthouse Sentinel."

Byron gripped the steering wheel and commanded his navigator.

"Yes, Captain."

Delia quickly adapted to her position, and with a crisp consent, she hung the strange whale oil lantern in her hand on the stand next to the steering wheel.

Stretching out a slender finger, the fingertip burst with inspiration, and lightly touched the glass shade of the lantern.

The faintly blue flame exploded a light flower, and a face belonging to Delia appeared inside.

This is a Navigator's unique transcendent ability, the Lighthouse Sentinel.

Byron's spirituality stretched out, and he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation spread out from the flames, and then refracted back, and the darkness in front of him also became a different appearance.

Even if there is a reef under the dark water, you can see if there is a fire.

couldn't help but praise her:

"Well done, Miss Delia, the navigator is a good helper to the captains."

The compass can be around the clock without rest, but not the navigator.

Under normal navigation, you can replace your position with a simulated sentry with multiple abilities.

The [Navigator] class has exchanged its low combat effectiveness for more support extraordinary abilities, even if it only has a low sequence, it can be called the best support.

Sentinels can alert to obstacles, warn of dangers, detect underwater reefs and even connect to nearby lighthouses to assist the helmsman with positioning and course correction services.

When it comes to the middle sequence, there is no problem even if it is autonomous.

Byron knew that there was black magic that could extract the souls of navigators or navigators and make them into artificial curses to aid navigation.

Delia smiled:

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Captain.

After the verification of the [Maywind] and the [Oceanic Throne], this route that can indeed lead to the New World will soon be completely fixed.

Not only Seagull Messenger 9526 will come to build a postal network, but also the lighthouses along the route will be built one after another under the auspices of the Federation.

The person in charge was my father.

When the time comes, the law network will descend on the windless zone and suppress all kinds of evil spirits and grotesques, and this whole route will be much safer.

Even if those merchant ships and whaling ships do not have the force of the [Golden Deer], as long as they abide by the taboos, they can pass safely together. ”

After finishing her work for the day, Delia immediately left with Jacqueline, who was already impatient.

"At home, my father and mother were strict, and after I went to work in the federation, I could only wear standard robes every day, and I was not free at all.

If it weren't for Mr. Councillor's good reputation, my father would not have allowed me to get on board.

You can only wear your favorite clothes when you go out.

Jacqueline, you're such a nice person.

Oh, wait a minute, the pendulum shows this side, ha, this is my room. I didn't get lost this time, I'm amazing.

I'll bring a change of clothes with me, so let's sleep together at night.

Just because it can provide unlimited fresh water, the Golden Deer has thrown off ninety percent of the sailboats, which is so beautiful. ”

"Okay!

Delia, let me tell you, spider silk is worn on the legs, it can keep warm in winter, sunscreen in summer, and the strength is very high.

It feels smoother than silk, and it feels great, so how about touching my thighs and trying to feel it. Didn't lie to you, did you?

Let me touch it later. ”

"No problem, we're all girls anyway."

Although Byron said that he didn't understand what they meant when they said slippery or not, he had to admit one thing.

Although Jacqueline is a chick herself, her skills in picking up girls are perfect.

In three or two sentences, I easily grasped the weakness of an eldest lady, and did what she liked, and it progressed to the point of sharing a bed on the first day of acquaintance.

Ox break!

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Violet, who had been accompanying him on the boat.

"Stalking and taking the initiative should be learned from her.

Even if I add my previous life, I'm just a theoretical old driver.

Although I have learned a lot of 'knowledge' from so many 'teachers', all of those learning materials omit the step of falling in love.

I don't know at all. ”

At this time, the logbook in the right eye suddenly updated automatically:

"Milestone Completed: Stepping into the Southern Hemisphere."

However, it was the [Golden Deer] that galloped all the way, and from time to time in the safe waters in front of it, it also let the "Earth Snake" Snail turn on the whirlpool teleportation, and it reached the equator in just one day.

But when I got here, it was already a water area that even Gary was unfamiliar with, and I didn't dare to teleport casually.

Moreover, Byron pulled out a dim crystal skull from his pocket.

That's the 12th [Polaris God].

Relying on the dominating ability of the No. 1 crystal skull on his neck, Byron could exert the power of the thirteen crystal skulls to the limit without chanting.

This skull's ability is the [Real-Time Map].

Large range: It can observe the stars, accurately locate the location of the holder, and never get lost (limited to the northern hemisphere, the North Star tube is not in the southern hemisphere).

They had just crossed the equator and entered the Southern Hemisphere, and that ability was instantly rendered.

After that, the only thing that can be relied on is the human radar of [Navigator].

Small area: It can communicate with the spirit of the earth, and make an accurate real-time map of the terrain and the distribution of people within a radius of several kilometers to the owner's consciousness.

The closer you get to the Taíno homeland, the larger the detection area and the more detailed the information, and the farther you are from Yucatan, the smaller the detection area and the more sparse the information.

When you reach a completely unfamiliar area, the map may be reduced to only a few hundred meters.

Once in the Southern Hemisphere, the skull is only half of what it can use, but it is powerful enough in many adventures.

In the next moment, both the [Lighthouse Sentinel] and the [Polaris God] gave him a hint:

"Beware of reefs and avoid them."

Soon as the waves swelled ahead, Byron could clearly see the ribbons of white foam connected to the sea in the distance.

This means that there are either shallows or reefs, and if you accidentally hit them, you can run aground or sink into the water.

Byron became more and more cautious when sailing.

In a short time, the landscape of the sea changed abruptly, and at the extreme of the field of vision, a series of dark islands appeared.

Some of them are glittering, some are lifeless, some are as vibrant as a fairyland, but no one Byron is far away.

There is no interest in getting close to appreciation.

Violet, who had been by Byron's side all along, saw them and remembered the materials she had read in the "Key to Know" in the public library, and couldn't help blinking her eyes with some curiosity:

"Byron, do you say that these islands were really once part of the New World?

It's hard to imagine what level of power can tear half a continent apart. ”

The [naturalists] who came here earlier have spent a lot of time repeatedly exploring and publishing a large number of academic papers to prove it.

There is a fragmented continental shelf beneath the water in this area, and it is very likely that it was once part of a large expanse of land.

It is inferred by the transcendents of the Tower Sequence.

It may have been one day in the distant past, due to the sudden appearance of a zero-level world rift, a powerful essentia explosion caused part of the continental shelf to disintegrate.

Not only has it created a huge group of broken islands, but it has also pushed the entire remaining continental plate to the south.

It was precisely because of this discovery, coupled with the direction of ocean currents, that the first explorers who came to the celestial circulation zone in the first place asserted that there must be a huge land mass in the south!

In addition, most of these islands, known as the "Broken Archipelago", have given rise to many strange and mysterious places rooted in human history and mythology because of that incident.

Each has specific rules, and there are unknown dangers.

There may be treasures, but more likely it is the grotesqueness that devours human life.

If you put it in the Bantaan Islands, each of them is a forbidden area.

"Perhaps, if you see the New World with your own eyes, these questions may be answered.

But there is no need to explore the islands with the harvest unknown. ”

The farther away from the Old World, the farther the ecosystem is from the real world and closer to mythology.

The creatures that are active here are infinitely close to the legendary mythological era.

Legend has it that creatures from the Old World that became extinct long before the Silver Age are also infested:

"The Harpy Banshee, who likes to kidnap the able-bodied sailors in pairs, find breeding partners for themselves, and continue the population;

As long as you open your mouth, you can create a maelstrom in the sea and swallow everything in the mouth of the abyss;

Whale Island, which is as large as a small island and will be dragged into the water with the boat and people when the ship docks;

The beauty of being able to bewitch the crew and eat their flesh and blood through their beautiful singing"

Byron had just thought of this by the topic of Violet.

"Ah~Ah~Ah~"

A burst of ethereal singing suddenly came to his ears.

It is like a beautiful dolphin sound, but without specific lyrics, it seems to be able to instantly penetrate people's souls and reach people's hearts.

Immediately, a small island that had passed by only a few minutes earlier appeared in front of them again.
