The clouds were so thick that it was impossible to distinguish day and night from the sea, and the steel battleship stood quietly on the sea, dodging the lightning pouring down from the clouds, like an island isolated on the sea.

On the ship, most people are hiding in the cabin, as if they don't want to face the thunderstorms around them, or feel that there is no hope, so most people choose to cower and huddle in the cabin that they can't see or hear, and don't face the predicament they are in.

In the wheelhouse, Belletti, Oguferdin, Mogupatin and Ben Boer were busy, they were tasked with driving the ship, so they couldn't escape like the others, they had to stand in the wheelhouse, always tense their nerves, pay close attention to the surrounding qiē, and when the thunderclouds approached the ship, they had to make quick judgments to find a new safe area for the ship.

Fortunately, Belloti, Oguferdin, and Mogupatin are all machines, and they don't feel tired, which can be regarded as greatly improving the efficiency of ship maneuvering and preventing driving mistakes due to exhaustion.

But Ben Bo Erba gradually began to show tiredness, and many times standing there listening to Beluti and them, Ben Bo Ba would involuntarily wander, and even stood there again with a cane and actually fell asleep.

Seeing Ben Bo Erba's tired appearance, Beluti reminded in a low voice: "Ben Bo Erba, if you are too tired, go and take a rest, anyway, the sea area where we are anchored is quite safe now." ”

Instead, he shook his head, yawned, and forced himself to say: "No, no, no, no, I can't rest, the three of you alone will definitely not be busy, if there is a slight deviation, we may all be in danger, and a boatload of people will be unlucky, I don't want His Highness Lucius to come back." Will blame me. ”

Seeing that Ben Bo Erba was firmly unwilling to rest, the three of Beludi looked at each other, and did not continue to persuade, but only reminded Ben Bo Erba to pay attention, and if he was really too tired, he should not insist.

And the conversation between Beludi and Ben Boer happened to be overheard by Norco, who walked outside the cab.

Hearing Rusherba's words, Norco suddenly felt annoyed, he originally thought that Runner and the Sea Beast Clan had supported him, but he didn't expect that in fact, Runner was still full of respect for Lucius.

The most difficult thing for Norco to accept is. Lucius was obviously driven off the ship by himself, but these guys on the ship supported him on the surface, but behind the scenes, they still missed Lucius.

At this moment, Noko didn't realize that his mentality had been completely distorted, and he had forgotten his original intention of chasing power.

Completely succumbed to the thirst for strength and power, as well as the deep jealousy of Lecius, he had no way to control his own feelings. On the contrary, he was accused by his own negative feelings.

Walking straight into the cab, Norco glanced at the people in the cab and said coldly: "Set sail immediately, we can't continue to delay like this." This will only slow us down. ”

Everyone in the wheelhouse was taken aback when they heard this, and they couldn't understand how Norco could suddenly give such an order, which was obviously to kill the whole ship.

Ben Bo Erba stood up and spoke first: "Your Excellency Noko, the thunderstorms around us have not stopped now, and there is no way forward for us. We're going to be in danger of going into a thunderstorm like this, so. I don't think we should set sail now, but wait a few more days. ”

"Wait? Wait, wait, what's the difference between us and before?

Without giving Ben Bo Erba a chance to speak, Norco immediately grabbed the words: "If you want to break through the chaotic sea, can you do it without taking risks? Even if you are the founder of the Sanctuary at the beginning, isn't it the way to take risks?"

Seeing Noko's appearance, Rush wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it?

Instead, Beluti stood up and questioned Norco: "In that case, why don't you want to take the route on the compass?

Hearing this, Noko turned his head and glared at Beludi, his eyes revealing undisguised anger, and Beruti frowned, even Agufodin and Mogupatin were also solemn.

Just when Noko was about to erupt, Ben Bo Erba stood up again, stopped Noko and said: "Your Excellency Noko, we will indeed be very dangerous when we set off now, and in case of a thunderstorm, our hull is completely metal, and we are powerless to resist thunder and lightning. ”

Ben Boer persuaded him with good words, but who knew that it was Nuoke's cold response: "That's your business, I don't care, anyway, I will give you the last twelve hours of rest, and after twelve hours, the ship must resume sailing." ”

With that, Noko turned and walked outside, and when he reached the hatch, he stopped again and said, "Remember, this ship is now in my charge, so you had better obey the command." ”

Watching Noko's back disappear outside the cabin, Beludi finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Bastard, he, what kind of attitude does he have? Do you really think he can live with us?"

The old fishman sighed and said, "Hey, that's it, since he has the right to command now, let's do as he tells us." ”

"What are we doing? Now that we're surrounded by thunderstorms, are we stuck here? What does he think we're doing? Are we stopping here to rest?"

Augustine also flapped his little wings and shouted angrily: "Damn fellow, he is too arrogant, no, I'm going to find Lucius, I'm going to let Lucius come back and clean him up." ”

While shouting, Augustine planned to fly out of the wheelhouse and go to the stern of the ship to find Lucius, so that Lucius could come forward to deter Norco's arrogance.

But before he could fly out of the cab, he was caught by the sea beast guarding the door and threw him back into the cab.

Oguferdine did not expect that the sea beasts guarding the door of the wheelhouse would actually attack him, and he immediately felt annoyed and asked Ben Boerba: "What is the matter with the old fishman? How dare these sea beasts under your command attack me? Don't they know that I am a great mechanical god, how can they do this? They are blaspheming the gods." ”

Listening to Ogufodin's shouts, Ben Bo Erba said helplessly: "Okay, they just stop you, prevent you from doing those irrational things, and then it will be you who will suffer." ”

Augustine tilted his head and looked at Rush Erba and asked, "What is irrational thing? I didn't say that I went to Noko to fight hard, I was going to find Lucius to come forward." ”

Rushing Ba smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said, "You still say that you don't know what it means to be irrational? ”

"Why?" said Augustine and Belletti almost in unison, asking Ben Boerba.

However, before Ben Boer could answer, Mogupatin replied first: "It's very simple, not to mention whether you can see Lucius when you get out of the cab, even if you see Lucius, I'm afraid that with Lucius's character, he will definitely not interfere at such a time." ”

"Now the ship is sinking. If he didn't intervene at this time, would he wait until the ship sank? I don't believe it, Lucius couldn't have given up on this ship, let alone all of us. ”

Rushing Erba nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, now is indeed the best time for Lucius to intervene, as long as he finds a new route, then he will definitely be able to turn the tables with Norco." ”

"But at a time like this, even if Lucius easily turned the tables. He can't redeem the friendship between him and Nock. ”

In the face of power and friendship, Noko obviously chose friendship in the end, he didn't want to lose Noko's friend, and he didn't want to fight with Noko really with his sword. ”

Rush Erba and Mogupatin, you say a word to me. Calmly analyzing Lucius's psychology to Belletti and Augustine can be regarded as letting Belletti and Augustine roughly understand why Lucius chose to back down?

In fact, it is a dilemma, many times. Most people will give up friendship in the face of power.

Because in the eyes of those people, their goal is to be strong in themselves. For them, friendship is their bond, it will affect their feelings, and there may be many negative things, so they would rather give up friendship without hesitation in the pursuit of power.

It's like Norco, who now controls the entire ship, and can be described as a high-ranking and powerful ship, in his eyes, and Lecius, I'm afraid that the friendship of the past has long been gone.

It can be said that in Nocco's eyes, Lucius has become a stumbling block to his progress, so he unceremoniously kicked Lucius away, even out of the ship, in order to establish his own prestige, so that everyone on the ship would support him.

At first, when Lucius was just expelled, for some unknown reason, many people on the ship began to show signs of defection.

Especially the sea beasts under the command of Rushing Er Ba, and some mechanics with a little thinking, they seem to worship the strong from the bottom of their hearts, and they will have a good impression of the more powerful Norko.

But when Lucius was expelled, when the ship fell into the thunderstorm sea, the guys on board who worshiped Noko suddenly woke up.

Many sea beasts and mechanics understood that Norco was just a guy who didn't have much ability and only knew how to take advantage of the situation, so many people on the ship began to disobey Norke.

Oliver and Pwcis, in particular, are even more vivid, and even Norco himself is unaware of them.

When Mogupatin said this, he paused, like a wise man who had seen through a qiē, and sighed: "Hey, at this time, Norco has fallen into madness, what he wants to do at this time is just to prove that he is stronger than Lucius, driven by a distorted psychology, you dare to report to Lucius, I'm afraid that before you see Lucius, he will unceremoniously want you to make a move." ”

"What?" Ogufordin's words were incredulous, he couldn't believe that Norco would attack him, knowing that he was the only mechanical god in charge of the magic crystal block, and if anything happened to Ogufordin, the ship's power system would be fatally affected.

Seeing that Oguferdine didn't seem to believe it, Mogupatin sneered and said, "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, I'm afraid that as soon as you get out of the cabin and show your intention to get closer to the stern, Norco will not hesitate to make a move." (To be continued......)
