Chapter 276: Beyond the Map
"Tell you to go forward, don't you hear? Are they all dead......
The invective was mixed with the sound of smashing things, and it never stopped.
When the boy entered the cabin, he saw a group of people kneeling on the ground, and the young man on the other side was panting and glaring at them, with a pile of debris scattered under his feet.
"What's going on?"
As soon as the young man spoke, the young man turned his head and saw that his face was full of joy.
"Dickens, you're finally here, help me get rid of these pups, it's getting more and more disobedient!
The young man smiled, did not hurry to speak, first pressed his hand to signal the young man to be restless, and then walked up to the kneeling person and asked softly.
"What's going on?"
Turning his back on the young man's gaze, he quietly glanced at the person in front of him.
"Back to the Great Knight, the little young master wants to go to a farther sea area to hunt demonic beasts, but...... If you look through a telescope, there's no wind or waves, unlike here, where it's beyond the edge of the storm belt, but there's still a little wave. Speaking of this, the man winked quietly at the young man, "You know, where the wind and waves are strong, the more likely the appearance of demonic beasts is, compared to the dangerous storm zone and the too calm sea ahead, this is undoubtedly the most suitable place for hunting." ”
Where the wind and waves are strong, the more likely it is that Warcraft will be infested?
The boy knew that he had never said such a thing, and his eyes moved as he looked at the man's hand, which seemed to be pressed beyond the edge of the map as he spoke.
Is it beyond the scope of the plan?
If you say that, the danger ahead is unknowable......
So the fundamental reason is that out of the consideration of their own lives, these people have made such a drama of "non-violence and non-cooperation"?
"Fart!" The young man here was thinking about it, and the young man over there couldn't help but scold, "Shouldn't the deeper you go into the deep sea, the more demonic beasts there are? If you go a short way forward, you will die? The storm has passed, but now you don't dare to go? Open your dog's eyes wide, there are no storms and waves ahead, and there are many demonic beasts, so the brainless pigs are guarding here! If it is really like what you say, we will go further! Until we can hunt demonic beasts!"
The young man knew that the gambling contract between the young men had always been just a battle of will, and after the storm belt, the young man should have been addicted to adventure, and he should not be so persistent, so he turned to the young man and asked.
"Little master, is there something wrong?" After thinking about it, the young man added, "If you need to, you can send these subordinates away first, and then it's not too late." ”
The young man waved his hand and walked over to a telescope by the porthole.
"Don't worry about these rebellious things, come and take a look here. ”
The boy stepped forward as he said, and the young man adjusted the orientation of the objective lens, and he attached one eye to the eyepiece.
At this glance, in the calm sea in the distance, three ships entered his field of vision, the objective lens moved horizontally, and the other thirteen ships also fell into his eyes in turn.
"Is it the fleet of young masters of other chambers of commerce?"
"That's right, everyone has gone ahead of us, and they have fallen to the last place, why am I not in a hurry?"
The young man understood, stared for a moment, and nodded.
"Well, I'll come up with a compromise idea. Now that there are not enough supplies on board, it is not suitable to go too far, so just take a walk around the calmer sea area ahead, and finally it is time to return whether there is any gain or not. Little master, this is the best solution at the moment. ”
Hearing this, the crew members looked at each other for a while, and then nodded silently, while the young man still looked at the sea and sky communication line in the distance with some unwillingness.
"If they keep going...... Hey, forget it, that's it. As he spoke, a fire erupted in the young man's eyes, and he kicked down the telescope holder without warning, knocking down a bunch of people next to him, "It's all you stupid pigs, you know how to eat and drink all day long, you know how to squander, now it's okay, the supplies are not enough! If you don't harvest in the future, or the harvest is at the bottom, you don't have good fruit to eat! Next, the food is limited in supply, and don't think about getting a drop of wine...... What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and get to work!"
The weight of the telescope holder is not light, but the person who was hit did not dare to say anything, and the other people around him were even more honest and silent, and the young people scolded, and they just listened like this, without any superfluous movements.
Besides, we are just following behind and drinking a sip of soup, and the real squandering is not still in you!
Of course, they only think about such complaints in their hearts, and never dare to say them. Seeing that the young men were starting to chase away, they stood up with relief and left the cabin as if they were fleeing.
The keen senses of the young knight could faintly detect that the few people who were far away had begun to recoup the rights and wrongs of the young man, although he didn't care about them.
He turned to look at the young man.
"Little master, you see, the ship is about to set sail, and if you want to come to hunt, let's rest for a while, and then make plans after we have enough spirits, how about it?"
"I've been annoyed by these guys for a long time, and I'm really tired of it, Dickens, thanks to you! It's great to have you by my side! Okay, I'll go and rest first, you can eat and drink as much as you want, play as you like, I said those words just now, you must not be restrained!"
"I saved it. ”
The young man smiled and nodded, and watched as the young man waved his hand away.
At this time, he was the only one left in the cabin.
The boy pondered for a moment and moved to the map.
On the map, from east to west, there are trading ports, chaotic cities, storm belts, and the current surf zone.
However, the storm belt behind them is still faintly visible, and the calm sea in front of them, which is different from the surfing area, is close in front of them, and the surfing area, which is therefore particularly narrow, occupies more than half of the area on the map, far longer than the distance they have experienced since they set off.
The map is very different from reality.
Is it a ranging problem, a cartographer's technique?
Or is it a rough map that only broadly delineates a so-called surfing area, and easily includes other seas?
Or, in fact, I thought too much about it, and this calm sea is still a surfing area, and this calm is just an occasional situation?
Thinking left and right, the young man still couldn't figure it out, and at the same time, his heart became more and more uneasy.
He stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, looking out over the beautiful and mirror-like sea, which was getting closer and closer to him, and was about to sail into it the next moment. When castration is difficult to eliminate and there is no turning back, there is still no warning in the young man's heart. So at this juncture, the depression in his heart finally turned into a helpless sigh and slowly spit out.
Forget it, it's useless to think too much, if there is no danger, you should think about it yourself, and if there is danger, you can only come to cover the water and earth, take one step at a time.
Thinking so, the young man's ears rang with bursts of extremely intonal shouts.
"Beacon!"
"Beacon!"
"Down! Letter!"
The first mate's very melodious shout, which resembled that of an opera performer, was brought from the stern of the steer's ship to the bow by the sailors who worked together all over the hull, with their weather-beaten voices, and when the sailors beside the boy also shouted, a huge barrel of brightly colored wood was lifted from the bottom of the ship by the sailors, and rolled out of the side of the ship and landed on the surface of the sea outside the ship.
The young man looked sideways, and the barrel chased the ship for a while along with inertia, and after floating and sinking a few times, it hovered steadily in the water, no longer moving, and it was particularly eye-catching from a distance.
"The beacon is for the return trip, so that we can find the right direction when we go back, after all, the map doesn't include the sea in front of us. ”
The first mate gave the rudder to the sailor at some point, and walked through the hull to the boy. Seeing the boy turn around and look at the barrel, he explained.
"I don't care about beacons, I want Warcraft. Without further ado, give me the first time to overtake the boats ahead!"
Awakened by the shouts of the sailors, the young man stepped out of the cabin and came to the young man, but unlike the young man, he only glanced at the barrel, and then focused all his attention on the calm sea in front of him and the ship not far away.
Hearing this, the first mate secretly smiled bitterly at the young man, then turned around and tore his throat at the group of sailors.
"Full speed ahead!"
"Full speed ahead!"
"Hurry, Forward, Advance!"
Amidst the shouting, the sailors adjusted the sails and rowed hard, and the ship accelerated in response to the sound and rode the wind and waves.
After a while, the original feeling of turbulence caused by the wind and waves suddenly disappeared, and although everyone was still on the boat, they suddenly had a feeling that they had just gotten off the boat and stood on the shore, and they were suddenly dizzy, and they only felt that everything around them was shaking.
At this moment, all the people on the deck looking at the direction of the ship, including the young man, the first mate and the teenager, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
In front of them, the ships whose original silhouettes were clearly visible suddenly disappeared.
Looking around, they were the only ones on the empty sea.
The scorching sun is in the sky, the sky is cloudless, the sound of seabirds and waves cannot be heard, the breeze cannot be touched in the hand, and the slightest ripple on the water surface cannot be captured in the field of vision.
There was a dead silence all around.
The ship slowly fell silent.
Many people suddenly engaged in a cold war for no apparent reason.
Just then, a scream pierced the dull air.
"The barrel is gone!
Everyone was stunned, hurried to the stern of the boat, and looked in the direction from which they came.
There, where the barrel should have been, was now empty.
"No, you see, the barrel is far away!
"It's only been a long time since I put it down, why did it drift so far?"
"No...... It's that we've gone too far. ”
Everyone was startled and looked around, but they saw that the rough land that had just passed not far behind the hull was now as dead silent as the sea below them.
Looking further away, everywhere you look, it looks like this, so quiet that it makes people panic.
"This ...... It's impossible! How long have we come!"
Suddenly encountering such a strange situation, the sailors could not help but talk a lot, and the sound of panic became more and more noisy, and even the young man and the first mate could not stop being full of worry.
The first mate looked at the young man: "Captain, should we ......?"
The young man gritted his teeth, still unable to make a decision, and looked at the young man as if asking for help: "Dickens, you see ......"
At this juncture, do you need me to say more?
The young man's face sank, and he shouted, "Turn the bow of the ship and return immediately!"
The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the bow and stern of the ship, ringing clearly in everyone's ears.
