"Hasn't the danger been resolved? Why do you still look so worried?"
Helen had just come down from the observation deck and was leaning against the side of the ship in a daze when she heard a gentle voice coming from her ear.
"Sir." Helen looked at the man standing next to her and was about to bow, but was stopped by a soft force. Helen thought for a moment and did not continue to salute, but her words were a little more respectful.
"I just feel a little strange. The sea seems a little abnormal these days." Helen flipped her hair, with worry in her eyebrows.
"Why does it feel abnormal?" Angel asked strangely, "There is no absolutely safe area in the Devil's Sea. Isn't it normal for hurricanes and huge waves to appear?"
"I'm not referring to the climate, but..." Helen wanted to find some words to describe her feelings, but found that no words seemed to be right: "My lord, don't you think that in recent days, this sea has been quiet?
Is it creepy?”
"Quiet?" Angel listened intently. The sea wind was still howling, the waves were still coming one after another, and even the undercurrents on the bottom of the sea were making a gurgling sound. He didn't feel quiet at all. Of course, if these natural sounds were put aside, it would be quiet.
The journey was relatively "relatively" quiet.
But isn't it always like this quietness, as long as the climate doesn't become bad?
"What do you mean by quiet?" Angel asked curiously.
Helen shook her head: "It's hard for me to describe it. It's just a kind of tranquility that makes me feel uneasy. I feel that this route is not as active as when I came here before, as if it is dead."
Helen's description is full of abstract concepts. The only conclusion Angel can draw is probably Helen's intuition.
Angel looked at Helen with an inquiring expression.
Helen lowered her head, shook her head slightly, and sighed slightly: "Maybe I worry too much."
Helen recalled telling Captain Alwin her findings earlier, and the other party looked at her like Angel did. He didn't say he believed it or said he didn't believe it. He just gently dissuaded her, "I'm too tired. It's time to rest."
”.
Alwin meant well, and Helen knew it very well. However, this kind of kindness made her feel like a madman.
She wanted to convince herself that this was an illusion, but the uneasy feeling in her heart made it impossible for her to justify it.
"Not really."
Helen raised her head suddenly, "Sir, do you believe me?"
"Perhaps what you said is true. People who seek life on the sea are closer to the frequency of the ocean. Once the frequency of the ocean changes, you can't describe it yourself, but your whole body, from your mind to your subconscious, is warning you that this
It's your intuition." Angel said.
Helen seemed to understand, and repeated softly: "What is the frequency of the ocean?"
"This is just a generalization. It may be the humidity at sea, the change of wind, the direction of ocean currents... Of course, it may also be a more mysterious concept. You have been living on a boat, so you are always in this frequency. You
You don't remember this external information, but your body remembers it for you. Once your body detects changes in these external information, it will naturally feed it back to you."
Helen nodded in a daze: "Then am I really worrying too much?"
"Not necessarily. If you are free, you might as well tell me about your feelings and changes during this period."
Helen looked at the sea in the distance. The clouds were clear and the sea was flat. The smell in the wind was also normal. She thought there would be no danger if she came to the Yunluo to pick up the fish for a while, so she said to Angel: "Okay, when should I start?"
Speaking of?"
Angel did not answer Helen, but glanced at the fourth floor with his peripheral vision. He vaguely felt eyes coming from inside: "If you don't mind, you might as well come to my room to talk."
Helen was stunned for a moment, as if she thought of something, her fair cheeks slowly turned a peach pink color, and finally she nodded gently.
Angel didn't notice the change in Helen's expression, but took her directly back to the room on the third floor.
As soon as he entered the room, Angel immediately placed a mental barrier around the room.
When he was talking to Helen before, he felt that Roman seemed to be snooping... Roman's behavior made Angel a little confused. He shouldn't be a gossip, right?
Or is he simply spying on his own behavior?
Thinking of Roman's suspicious character, Angel felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he simply took Helen back to the house to continue testing.
Sure enough, not long after Angel set up the mental barrier, he felt another mental tentacle wandering outside his room.
There were only two extraordinary beings on the entire ship, him and Roman. The spiritual tentacles outside were undoubtedly Roman's.
Angel's expression was gloomy. His previous feeling was correct, Roman was indeed paying attention to them.
He didn't do this sooner or later, but when he was talking to Helen, Roman started to pry. This made Angel not only strange, but also worried.
Fortunately, when Roman sensed the mental barrier, he knew that he had been discovered by Angel, so he circled the outside with his mental tentacles and retreated on his own initiative.
After Angel confirmed that Roman's spiritual tentacles had left, he was silent for a long time, and then talked about business with Helen.
Helen's heart was pounding all the time, thinking that something indescribable would happen when Angel took her back to the room. However, after waiting for a long time, the other party did nothing and continued the previous conversation.
Helen was confused. Did I understand it wrong?
While Angel was talking to Helen, in a gorgeous house on the fourth floor, Roman's expression was a little gloomy.
What he did... shouldn't be discovered, right? After all, this is a routine thing, and neither Alvin nor Helen will be suspicious.
But why did Pat want to talk to Helen?
Roman thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that Helen had pink cheeks and a shy face before entering Pat's room.
Roman suddenly realized something and snorted coldly: "Sure enough, you are ignorant, to be interested in a fat middle-aged woman."
After Roman finished speaking, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the window, and a gust of sea breeze blew in. Roman looked at the ocean in the distance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Behind him, there was a stack of books on the table. When the sea breeze blew in, the cover of the book blew open, and a portrait with a missing corner blew away from the pages and slowly scattered open.
Through the sunlight outside the window, you can clearly see that in the portrait is a quiet sea, and under the sea, dark shadows.
…
In the room on the third floor, Roman slowly revealed some of his mental journey and psychological changes during this period.
"You mean, you started to feel panicked half a month ago?"
Helen nodded: "Yes, it wasn't too serious at first, but in the past few days, every day when I go to bed, I feel like there is a stone pressing down on my heart. It's so heavy that it even affects my normal life."
"Tell me, what happened half a month ago, that is, the time when you were worried about the situation?"
"Nothing seems to have happened during that time..." Helen slowly immersed herself in the memories of half a month ago.
As Helen told her story, Angel was also investigating possible doubts bit by bit.
Suddenly, Angel stopped: "Wait a minute, you said you were going to ask Roman about the next route?"
Helen nodded: "The routes in the Devil's Sea are changeable. There is more than one route to the Felan Continent. Almost every distance, we will ask for instructions on the next route."
"But why do you want Roman to make the decision? Can't you make the decision yourself?" Angel asked with a frown.
"Because Mr. Roman has gotten clearer information than we do. Although there are many routes, there are often accidents on some routes, such as drastic changes in ocean currents, or a certain route happens to be the only way for sea monsters to pass. This information is rare for us as mortals.
You know, only Lord Roman can collect this information."
Angel: "Every time you go to sea, it's Roman who tells you the news?"
"That's not entirely true. Sometimes the wizards who are in charge are different. But as long as Lord Roman is in charge, he is basically asked. This is considered a routine matter."
When Helen said this, her expression gradually became weird: "It sounds like it is true. Since I chose the next route that day, my mood began to change. Could it be this route?
Is there a problem?"
Angel pondered for a moment, "There may be problems with the route, but people... are more likely to have problems."
"Sir, you mean... Luo..." Helen shook her head violently. She had never thought that this matter would be related to Roman, because Roman was also from Baibei Shipping Company. Although she sometimes felt that Roman was too arrogant, they
The interests between them are the same. If one is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and if one is harmed, both will be harmed.
"My lord may have misunderstood. The gap between you and Lord Roman occurred a week ago. At that time, the route had already been changed."
"You mean, I said there was something wrong with Roman because I didn't deal with him?" Angel looked at Helen.
Helen hesitated for a moment, then bravely asked: "Isn't it?"
Angel shook his head: "Roman is a narrow-minded person, which really makes me uncomfortable. But as long as he doesn't compete with me for interests or deal with me directly, I won't really care about him, because the wizarding world is like this
There are so many people that we can’t even count them.”
"The reason why I said there was something wrong with Roman was because of another thing."
There is no doubt that Roman secretly changed the nightmare stone for the ship's bow statue. Why did he do this?
, in exchange for personal resources, and maybe you can be promoted to an official wizard.
But what puzzled Angel the most was that if he did this, wouldn't he know the consequences?
The nightmare energy lingering on the ship's bow statue will eventually disappear. It's okay to hide it from these mortals and some apprentices, but how can he explain it to the people in Sky Mechanical City?
With Roman's suspicious character, he would definitely think of all possible escape options.
At that time, Angel had a vague feeling in his heart that Roman must make some arrangements for the Yunluo, at least to hide it from the above. Now comparing it to what Helen said, many things can basically be solved.
