Thunder roared, and from time to time lightning bolts fell from the clouds and disappeared into the sea.The sky seemed to be stained with a layer of thick ink, the clouds were frighteningly low, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the face, cold and painful.The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is strong on the sea.Soon, water began to accumulate on the deck, and rainwater leaked through the ship's drainage channels and down the sides of the ship.Wave after wave, wave after wave, like fast-moving sand dunes.In the early days, the sailboat was only very bumpy, and later, the feeling was like mountaineering, when the huge waves came, the sailboat climbed up against the wind and waves, when the wave peak reached the highest point, the sailboat was lifted by the huge waves, and it was more than ten meters high from the sea surface, and when the waves passed, the sailboat fell down without any scruples, and the heavy hull smashed on the sea, making a creaking and violent friction sound, and there was a feeling that the main keel of the ship could be broken at any time.The chandelier in the cabin kept shaking, and the teacups on the round table tumbled to the floor, making a tinkling sound, and we held on to the table to steady ourselves."
Rush out!
Now the only way is to get out of the center of this storm quickly, or sooner or later we will be swallowed up by the waves, we can't go with the wind, in that case, the storm will only swallow us up completely, and we will rush out from the side of the storm. ”Jacques finally made a decision, he pointed to the chart, drew a huge arrow on it with a pencil, and said to Noah and me, "Let's go this way." ”"If we're lucky, we may not be able to get far out of the center of this storm, and if we're unlucky, we'll rush into the archipelago here, and maybe find a natural haven."
Jacques drew a large circle on the chart, signaling that we would meet there.Either way, it's better than no way.Rather than sitting here and waiting for a break, facing the storm to find a safe place, it is more in line with our actual situation.Now that we have made a plan, Noah and I are going back to our own ship."
However, no matter what, you must be safe, and if there is danger, send us a magic signal, and Jijia and I will find a way to come and save you."
Before leaving, Noah hugged Jacques and shoved three magic flares into Jacques's arms.Probably because it was the first time he faced the storm on his own, Jacques seemed a little excited, and he was a little eager to try, and said to Noah: "Don't worry about me, this is just the most common tropical storm at sea, just hide from it." ”Then he said to me and Noah, "You must let the sailors on board take control of the sailboat and follow me closely. ”I took out two charts that I had temporarily copied on magical parchment, one for Noah and one for myself, and the original one was on the table, this one was Jacques's.Noah pointed to the purpose of our trip and said, "If you get separated in the storm, remember to go to the sea near Conason Island!"
”Noah and Jacques and I folded our hands together and said to take care again.As he walked out the door, Senior Dylan seemed to have something to say to me, but it wasn't about the tropical storm, so he swallowed it back.I said to Senior Dylan, "Jacques will be handed over to you!"
”Senior Dylan nodded at me.I know, he understands what I mean, I mean: if the Beran sinks in this storm, and escapes with the magic handle, he must take Jacques with him.Senior Dylan said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of him!"
”Noah and I were both concerned about the safety of our ships, so we did not stop much on the Beran and returned to our ships.Pushing open the door of the captain's quarters of the Belan, a wave of waves rushed over me like a roller coaster, and I quickly clung to the door frame to avoid being thrown overboard.Riding the magic handlebar, braving the wind and rain to return to the Slave Trader, the rain drenched my black magic robes, Caterina pushed the door open and welcomed me into the room, wiped my wet hair with a dry towel, I looked out through the glass window of the captain's room, the rain slapped on the glass window, gathering into a stream of water.I said to the first mate in the captain's room, who was in charge of driving the ship, "Drive our ship and follow the Shirley ahead!"
”The first mate grabbed the rudder with both hands, and when he saw me push the door and walk in, he looked a little nervous and nodded slightly at me.The storm came without warning, and he was caught off guard.There was originally a captain on board the Slave Trader, but while fighting us, he was split in half by Karantso's sword and died.The first mate was very discerning, and when he saw that we were in control of the sailing ship, he immediately surrendered and obediently signed a slave contract, and the most important thing on this slave ship was the slave contract.The sailors on the deck braved the wind and rain to carry out the necessary reinforcement of the hull, and each sailor had a rope tied to his waist, they were afraid that if a big wave hit, people would be beaten into the sea, and in this harsh environment, once they fell into the sea, it was difficult to have a chance to return to the ship.Two sailors tugged at an arm-thick rope and struggled to wrap it around a pillar, a cable that hung from the mainmast, and was so heavy in the rain that they could barely pull it.The two sailors did their best, and they braved the wind and rain at sea, shouted trumpets, and tied the cable in a knot on the pillar.A wave of sand dunes rushed in, and the Slave Trader was pushed upward by the tremendous force, and the whole hull of the ship was tilted upwards forty-five degrees, and all the sailors on the deck immediately gave up the work at hand, and hung on the deck with both hands clutching the safety rope at their waists.When the crest passed, at the moment when the ship was stable, all the sailors struggled to get up from the deck, and after the crest, the hull lost the strength to lift and suddenly fell.The cable tied to the pillar shook violently, and suddenly broke away from the pillar, and the moment it was released, the two sailors who had struggled to stand up holding the pillar were thrown away.Seventy or eighty meters long hemp rope became extremely heavy under the soak of rain, and was affected by the inertia of the hull, and it was like a huge whip flailing back and forth in the air.The two sailors had safety ropes tied around their waists, and although they were thrown out of the deck, they were hung outside the hull because of the safety ropes, and they staggered as if they were swinging.Dressed in light leather armor, Karantso stood on the deck as if it were glued to the deck, unable to shake her even a little no matter how violently the sailboat swayed.Seeing that two sailors were thrown out, their bodies hung on the outside of the ship, and as the ship swayed, they couldn't climb up at all, and the other sailors were too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't dare to come forward to rescue, she rushed to the side of the ship with a few arrows, supported the edge of the ship with both feet, grabbed the safety rope with both hands, and dragged the two sailors back from the outside of the ship.The sailors in the storm were silent, and they stood in the rain, looking at Karantso with a look of astonishment, as if unable to connect her with the usual woman who knew only how to smoke with a rattan whip in one hand."
If you dare to fall recklessly, the old lady will cut this rope and throw you into the sea to feed the fish, so that you will not be upset to see you hanging on the boat."
Karantso kicked the two sailors hard, then turned to the sailors who were standing in the wind and rain and said, "What are you doing standing dumbfounded?"
If you don't work, no one will want to eat tonight. ”When the sailors heard Karantso's angry rebuke, they were all overwhelmed and began to bust themselves with the business at hand.Bigger waves crashed in, and our boat was like a skateboard on the head of the waves, propelled by the waves, and fell like a fly behind the Shirley.Our ship chased the Shirley in front of us, and the first mate's piloting skills were not bad, and he avoided several very dangerous waves.At this time, a wave like a hill surged far away, because of the heavy rain, the vision became a little blurred, and I don't know what happened to the Sherry, the hull was in front of the huge wave, and suddenly there was a sharp turn, and the sailboat, which was originally sideways to meet the huge wave, actually turned its bow and hit the huge wave dozens of stories high.When the Shirley reached the middle of the waves, I stood on the Slave Trader and had to put my face against the glass and tilt my head sideways to see the shell.At this time, the Slave Trader was chasing the Sherry, and if we followed the Sherry's trajectory and rushed upwards against the crest of the waves, our ship would also be in danger, and the first mate in charge of the ship was pale, and his eyes were looking straight at me, showing a look of despair."
Let's avoid this wave!"
I said to the first mate.The first mate hurriedly flicked the rudder, and the Slave Trader staggered the front of the crest and rushed diagonally to the left side of the crest, and the tremendous pressure generated by the surging sea made the sailboat creak loudly.Pushing open the hatch, standing outside against the storm, as soon as I got on the magic handle, I saw that the huge wave had reached the top of my head, and the whole huge wave formed a hollow cylinder, completely enveloping the Slave Trader, and Caterina chased after me from behind, and dragged me into the cabin, and a large amount of sea water rushed over the deck of the ship.Karantso and a group of sailors were so beaten by the waves that they could not stand up on the deck, and those sailors had safety ropes on their bodies and were always hanging on the boat, but under such strong waves, they were inevitably injured, and at the moment of crisis, Karantso nailed a dagger to the board of the ship, and held the dagger tightly with both hands, so as to avoid being swept into the sea by the sea water that overflowed on the deck in the huge waves.The Slave Trader was pushed high by the waves, and the first mate controlled the Slave Trader, always keeping the ship running towards the waves, and in this way the waves drove forward, and if it was a little slower, it would be swept into the sea.The Shirley had completely disappeared from my sight.It happened so suddenly, and when I realized that something was wrong, I tried to find Noah again, and then I returned to the vast sea, with rough waves and raging waves, and several lightning bolts falling from my head from time to time.I pushed away Caterina who was holding me tightly from behind, rushed out of the captain's quarters in the wind and rain, stepped on the magic handle again, and rushed into the air.Under the dark clouds, the sky was like evening, there were a lot of water and thunder elements in the air, the wind was raging in the air, I rode on the magic handle, and rushed to the sky against the heavy rain, the wind blew me to the ground, I wanted to find Noah in the sea.But in the distance, I saw the Belan, which was being chased by another wave peak, and the Belan was also chasing the waves in embarrassment.Noah's Shirley was missing.Just as I was anxiously looking for the Shirley in the sky, thunder suddenly rolled in the dark clouds in the sky, and more than a dozen thunder waterfalls fell from the sky and slashed towards me.I rode on the magic handlebar, floating in the air, and was baptized by thunder and lightning.At the moment when the lightning pillar like a wild python poured into my body, a vortex of energy formed by thunder and lightning gushed out from the shoulder blade containing the thunder seed on the left shoulder, frantically absorbing the power of thunder and lightning in the air, and the shoulder blade containing the wind seed on the right shoulder also gushed out an energy vortex formed by a whirlwind, frantically absorbing the power of the wind in the storm.Between heaven and earth, surging magical power flowed into my body.My spiritual sea seemed to suddenly come to life at this moment, and my momentum spread out under my body, it was a golden ocean with monstrous waves, and the sky was also turbulent, and the dark clouds were thick, and from time to time there were electric snakes in the clouds, and they fell towards the golden sea.I found that what I had was no longer just the golden sea, but also the dark clouds and countless electric snakes swept by the wind.At this moment, my body was out of my control, there was no continuous transmission of mana, and the magic circle on the magic force came to an abrupt halt, and I fell from the sky.Just as I fell from a height.
When it fell, a strange scene appeared in front of my eyes.The Shirley sprang out of a huge wave tens of meters high and refloated on the sea, like the big hand of a god, scooping the boat out of the water, and the sea water kept pouring down from the ship, and the Shirley continued to chase the waves on the sea.It was obvious that it had been swallowed by the huge wave just now, but at this moment, it was extremely miraculous to sail out of the huge wave, which surprised me.The sound of the raging waves, the rolling thunder, the sound of wind and rain all mixed together to fill my ears, and beyond these sounds, there was the cry of a woman.He tried to deliver magic power to the magic handle under him, but in despair he found himself in a state of paralysis, and his body was not under his control.A figure with black and white wings, like a ghost in the dark night, swept past me with a snort, circled slightly in the air, and quickly dodged a falling electric column, and hugged me before I fell into the sea.In the wind and rain, Deborah's innocent little face was covered with rain, and her eyes were fascinated, and she flapped her wings desperately, dragging me from the air and stumbling back onto the Slave Trader.Deborah, unable to land smoothly on the stormy ship, carried me headfirst against the wooden wall of the ship, and we both rolled down to the deck in a ball.At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of me, it was Karantso, who grabbed me and Deborah by the collars and dragged us into the cabin with a very savage motion, and fell heavily to the floor.
