The color of the sky changed in an instant.

It was clear that the sky was clear just now, but now, the blue sky seemed to be soaked in ink, and it became extremely black.

As soon as the narwhal entered this dark storm, the black clouds up and down immediately rolled like thunder, and the good vision that could have been seen at least dozens of kilometers away was now completely obscured by this overwhelming blackness, and the sunlight, moonlight, and starlight could not shine in, and the surroundings were groggy and dark.

Even the compass on the airship is spinning around at the moment, as if it has been disturbed, making it impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

"All the previous cover-ups were just to avoid people's eyes, mainly to avoid being discovered. Victoria turned and said quietly to Midi, "From now on, it's the real spice route." Here, on the other hand, is the periphery of the Great Storm Zone, which we call the 'Black Cloud Circle'. ”

"Circle of black clouds...... Midi repeated, then nodded.

This is undoubtedly a rather apt name, because the most important feature of the black cloud circle is these pitch-black clouds and air currents.

The blue sky and white clouds were dyed in diametrically opposed colors for some reason, and not only that, but there was even a strong magnetic field interference, which made most of the methods of identifying the direction useless.

Once in the dark cloud circle, the airship will immediately lose its way, and then follow the chaotic air currents in it, continue to penetrate into the depths of the Great Storm Zone, and can only continue to wander until the magic is completely exhausted, and then fall into the sea of clouds.

Even the various secret techniques of the Awakened could not escape the interference of the magnetic field.

This is the scariest part of the black cloud circle.

And since Victoria dared to come in, Namidi was sure that she must have a way of discerning her direction.

In the previous life, this was one of the most important secrets of the major powers, and Midi at that time was only a new commander and knew nothing about it.

In this life, as the first human adventurer qualified to enter the Black Cloud Circle, Midi was naturally curious about it.

Sensing the inquiring meaning in Midi's eyes, Victoria did not hide it, but made a gesture.

Immediately, several guards solemnly carried out an extremely sturdy demon sealing box from the captain's room. And in it, there is a compass that looks extremely classical.

And the pointer of this compass pointed to the north steadily, and it was not affected by the magnetic storm in the black cloud region at all.

"It's a constant compass. Victoria generously explained, "The material and structure of this compass are extremely special, which can counteract the influence of the magnetic field of the black cloud area, so that it can accurately indicate the direction, and if it is out of the black cloud area, it will become chaotic because of its own characteristics, so to speak, it is a special compass for the black cloud area." ”

"Remarkable. Looking at this antique compass, Midi couldn't help but praise, "Using the magnetic field to offset the magnetic field, so that the compass can restore its function, such an assumption cannot be achieved by a non-alchemy master." ”

With Midi's eyes, he naturally knew very well that compared to this small compass, the person who made the compass was truly valuable, and for a moment, he couldn't help but turn a thought in his heart - do you want to find a way to inquire about the news of the alchemist master?

But Midi's praise and look made Victoria smile bitterly, she shook her head, and then said, "Mr. Blade misunderstood, this is just an imitation." As for the genuine product, it is said that many years ago, Rothschild's ancestors obtained it from an ancient crashed celestial warship, and then after research, it was only after research that a constant compass was imitated, and the function was much reduced. ”

Midi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly wryly.

Yes, how can an alchemy master be so easy to find?

If there really is such a master of the same level as Norton, then he must have heard of it in his previous life, such as "an alchemist who has made a famous contribution to mankind's victory over the Great Storm Zone" and so on, but obviously, there have been no such rumors.

Today, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce has this kind of compass, which can only be said to be due to luck and tireless hard work, but it is not a relationship between genius and talent.

"In any case, with a constant compass, it is equivalent to having a 30% certainty of crossing the area of the great storm. Victoria said, unfolding a new nautical chart, "The other thirty percent depends on this map." ”

This is a map of the area that is different from the whole nautical map, only one part of the storm area, although most of the area is not marked, as if it is obscured by black fog, but there is a part of the connected route, every turbulence, every floating island, what direction should be sailed, and so on, all of which are extremely finely marked.

Without a doubt, this map is the best part of the spice route.

"And the other thing is that it depends on this light. Victoria suddenly smiled slyly at Midi.

The next moment, along with her words, a searchlight with strong light had been turned on, this lamp was like a torch, and the light was as sharp as a sharp sword.

Despite the constant compass, at the end of the day, the narwhal is only flying with its eyes closed, and if it encounters those irregular floating, levitating rocks, or other obstacles, it will still crash headlong and then destroy the boat.

And with this searchlight, even if you encounter something while sailing, you can detect it first and then avoid it.

If a constant compass can indicate the general direction, then this searchlight is to ensure safety in a small area.

And when she saw the light, Midi immediately understood why Victoria had to smile meaningfully at herself.

The wick consumed by this lamp turned out to be made by the Yinghua of Light!

Using this rare material used to enhance strength as a wick, even if Midi saw it, he was quite distressed.

However, I am afraid that Midi is the only one who will feel distressed, because only he needs to upgrade by refining the Yinghua of Light. For the average adventurer, the Radiance of Light is precious because it can be used as a source of pure light.

Reluctantly suppressing the urge to rush up and take down the Yinghua wick of light, Midi sighed deeply, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "The constant compass brings thirty percent certainty, and the spice route map is thirty percent, plus this pure light lamp is one percent, a total of seventy percent, so, what about the remaining thirty percent?"

"Well, it's just a matter of luck. Victoria replied in a serious and resolute tone.

"Does Sancheng look at luck?" said Midi smiled.

It's almost like being on the battlefield.

This genius commander couldn't help but have such an idea.

No matter how much you plan, no matter how much preparation you make, once you really start fighting, there will eventually be various factors that will lead to accidents, and even miraculous reversals and turnarounds.

This is the most dangerous part of the battlefield, even a famous general who has won a hundred battles does not dare to assert that the next battle will definitely be his victory.

And this is precisely the charm of war.

And now, this three-point adventure depends on luck, why not?

In the previous life, as an adventurer in the second echelon, Midi could only take the Falcon Regiment and follow behind the butts of those strong people, trying to accumulate strength bit by bit, trying to catch up with the powerful figures in front. But in this life, as the top adventurer, he was able to stand at the forefront of the times and explore areas that he had never explored in his previous life.

Just being able to see such a scenery is enough to compensate for all the hard work I have made.

Think of this expedition as if it were a real war.

Thinking of this, Midi then spoke: "Maybe it's a bit arrogant to say this, but this part of the last three depends on luck, let me try to make up for it, if necessary." ”

Victoria was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, she showed a beautiful smile: "Then please Mr. Blade." ”

Shooting out a brilliant and sharp column of searchlight, the narwhal did not slow down, and flew firmly in a constant direction.

The voyage lasted a full twelve hours, and soon a floating island marked on the route map appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This floating island is small, if not just a pumice rock, with an area of only a few thousand square meters, and it is easy to avoid it.

However, instead of dodging, the narwhal took the initiative to approach it. Under the skillful control skills of the old butler Lund, this large airship with a length of 65 meters hovered accurately over the floating island, and then slowly weakened its power until it was completely docked on the island.

Then, the crew quickly disembarked from the airship, took out one thick steel cable after another, and with the help of pulleys and winches, and fixed the narwhal to the floating island.

It didn't take long for the air to vibrate slightly.

The next moment, one after another black clouds like waves rolled in, setting off a violent storm like a knife.

If the narwhal was still suspended in the air at this moment, even if it was not directly torn apart, it would inevitably be blown off course by this irregular turbulence!

This is the second biggest threat to the black cloud circle, the Black Sea Current.

The dark clouds prevent all vision, the chaotic magnetic field makes it difficult to discern the direction, and the terrible black current, like a big hand that mixes still water, makes all the airships sailing in the black cloud circle deviate from their direction, or even destroy them directly.

It's just that, under the accumulation of hundreds of years of experience and blood lessons of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, there are mature solutions to these three threats on today's spice routes.

It is the success rate of crossing the Great Storm Zone, which is as high as 70%.

Six hours later, when the irregular Black Sea currents had finally subsided, the narwhal took to the air again and set out on its way.
