After Helen left, Angel opened Lucas's logbook again.
According to Helen, this waterway was not so peaceful in the past, and all kinds of wind, thunder and rain disasters would occur. This time, I was lucky, it was sunny all the way, and I passed the waterway easily.
"It seems that I thought too much." Angel rubbed his temples, and finally closed the parchment roll helplessly.
After closing the parchment, Angel saw the title of the volume again.
Generally speaking, people will deliberately emphasize that they have such a trait only if they are extremely lacking in it.
The title of the volume is "The Logbook of Lucas, the Most Honest Captain in the Sparkling Age." Who would deliberately add the title "The Most Honest" in front of his log? This Lucas emphasized that he was an "honest" captain.
Probably because he lacks this quality?
However, Angel also feels that people who love lying rarely tell the truth. Others do not believe them, so they will jump to emphasize that they are "honest." Interpreted from this perspective, Lucas's logbook seems
There is also a somewhat real possibility.
Angel shook his head, his thoughts were a little confused. He was still skeptical about Lucas's logbook.
After putting away the parchment, Angel stopped thinking about it and continued to study the "flying boots".
The wall clock on the wall continued to rotate. In the blink of an eye, day turned to night. The gentle moonlight covered the calm sea with a layer of starlight.
Angel had been at his desk for a long time and finally raised his head.
A pair of artistic black leather boots appear on the page. There are exquisite dark patterns on both sides of the boots, which look a bit mysterious.
"It's my first time to make shoes, so let's start with simple ones." Angel muttered silently.
He had cut many pieces of clothing these days, but this was the first time he made shoes. He took out the corresponding materials from the bracelet as shown on the drawing, and began cutting and tanning the leather before refining.
While he was processing the leather, there was a commotion outside.
The work at hand was almost completed, so Angel opened the door and came to the balcony to see what was happening outside.
As soon as he opened the door, bursts of dazzling light flashed before his eyes.
"Jigujigu" At this time, Toby flew out of the inner room and saw the beautiful scene outside, happily surrounding him.
The starry sky is like a bucket, endlessly bright. This is already a beautiful scenery, but what is even more dazzling is that it is also shining under the sea.
The starry sky covered the sea surface, and at the same time, circles of shining halo appeared under the sea surface.
The calm sea surface is like countless glowing donuts appearing and drifting with the current. The stars projected in the night sky are simply beautiful.
The sailors' noise was also due to this.
From their few words, Angel roughly learned the name of this phenomenon: Death Loop.
The ring of light under the sea is actually a creature called the "death jellyfish". Its body is very fragile, but it is highly poisonous. People who are stung by the death jellyfish have almost no chance of survival.
Because there are so many dead jellyfish piled up here, and they will flash a halo at night, this phenomenon is called the "death ring". At the same time, it is also the name of this area.
Helen also appeared on the deck, but she was not like the other sailors who simply came to appreciate the beauty of the death ring. Instead, she ordered the sailors to work together in an orderly manner.
The route will be changed soon and we will enter the winter channel. Everyone must put on warmer clothes, the ice saw on the bottom of the ship must be inspected, and antifreeze oil must be applied to areas prone to freezing... These things must be done within a short period of time.
After it was completed, the sailors who had taken a break to look at the scenery had to return to their posts after wailing.
At this time Angel also jumped down from the third floor balcony and landed next to Helen.
"Good evening, sir." Helen was stunned for a moment and saluted respectfully.
"We are about to enter the winter passage?"
Helen responded: "Yes, the Yunluo has begun to slow down. We will conduct final maintenance in the dead ring and should enter the winter channel in an hour."
Angel looked around. To be honest, there was a vast sea on all sides, and he couldn't tell where the so-called channel was.
However, there are specialties in the art, so Angel did not look into it in detail. He withdrew his gaze and said to Helen: "I will carve a constant temperature magic pattern on the ship later, which can keep the temperature on the ship at a normal level and not too cold. However,
In order not to damage the hull and ensure the integrity of the hull, this constant temperature magic pattern can only be embossed, so it will not last too long, only about half a month."
Helen's face showed a look of joy: "Thank you, sir, half a month is enough to get out of the winter passage."
Angel nodded, took out a bottle of gargoyle blood ink from his bracelet, and began to carve. He knew that some people on the ship needed to judge the weather conditions through temperature, humidity and wind direction, so he specially set up a lookout.
Included in the range of constant temperature magic patterns.
Angel carved it quickly. This kind of low-level magic pattern only requires a continuous supply of energy, and the blood ink itself emits energy fluctuations, so it takes almost no effort. But if you want the entire Yunluo to be controlled by the constant temperature magic
Surrounded by patterns, he estimated that it would take him half a day.
While he was carving, the Yunluo was also moving forward slowly.
But not long after, Angel heard a shout. He didn't hear the content of the shout clearly, but saw everyone moving. He saw the Yunluo suddenly turn around and speed up a bit.
When Angel was confused, Helen came over and said anxiously: "Sir, just now Duru said that a very strong hurricane is approaching."
Angel knew that Duru was the boy from the fishing village who told him the story of the beautiful Naya.
"you sure?"
Helen: "Dulu has some kind of omen-like intuition about changes in the weather at sea. That's why he was taken aboard the Yunluo by Captain Alwin. His weather predictions have almost never been wrong since he boarded the ship."
Hearing Helen's determination, Angel also frowned. This is a dead ring area, which happens to be the intersection of the surrounding sea areas. It would be terrible if the ship's hull was deflected by the hurricane and entered the terrifying sea area.
"Sir, do you have any idea?" Helen looked at Angel eagerly.
Angel pondered for a moment. If they relied on the gravity veins, they could stabilize the Yunluo to a certain extent. But their opponent was nature, and it would be difficult to deal with it for a long time.
But if the arrow is on the string, you must give it a try.
"How far is it from the Winter Passage?" Angel asked.
"If you go at full speed, you can get there in half an hour." Helen said.
"How long will it take for the hurricane predicted by Drew to arrive?"
As soon as Angel finished asking this question, he saw Helen looking blankly into the distance. He followed Helen's gaze and looked back, only to see the clouds and mist in the distance rolling and changing, as if a dragon and snake were scurrying over with the rolling clouds and mist.
Angel once saw in the image of the holographic tablet, like a white line, the majestic wave of the Qianjiang River rushing towards it.
Now, there is also a white line coming from the distance, but this white line is countless times bigger and countless times scarier!
"The hurricane has already arrived." Helen said somewhat dullly.
Angel took a look, and based on the time, they would be near the Yunluo in less than two minutes. In other words, if they wanted to reach the Winter Passage, they would have to rely on gravity veins for at least half an hour in the hurricane.
With the storage capacity of his and Toby's gravity veins, and the opponent was nature, it was extremely difficult to last for half an hour.
Angel turned around and asked: "How long does it take to sail there from the other two safe channels, Xialu Ridge and Windless Sea?"
"We are now on the Winter Channel, so we are relatively far away from the other two channels. It takes two hours to get to Xialu Ridge, and even more than five hours to get to Calm Sea." After Helen finished speaking.
"Then we have no choice but to take the Winter Passage. However, I don't know if we can persist through it." Angel looked back at Toby, "It seems that the two of us are going to go all out."
Toby also understood what Angel meant, nodded and called out.
"We have another way, which is to take advantage of the wind." Suddenly, a male voice appeared behind them.
Helen turned around and saw Alvin with a serious face appearing at the cabin door.
Borrowing the wind? Helen seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "What the captain means is that we borrow the power of the hurricane?"
Alvin walked over quickly and nodded to Helen: "Yes, if we want to take the winter passage now, we must carry the hurricane and go against the wind. But if we take advantage of the wind, we can take this route.
"
Alvin took out the chart and pointed to one of the areas.
Xialu Hailing.
"By walking on the Xialu Ridge, we can take advantage of the wind. With the favorable wind, we can even reach the Xialu Ridge in a short period of time," Alvin said.
"This is indeed a good idea, but..." Helen looked at the chart carefully, with a trace of hesitation on her face: "But, will the wind really be what we think? Hurricanes in the Devil's Sea are unstable factors that often occur.
Lane change."
"This can only be left to fate." Alvin also understood this truth and sighed softly.
Helen also fell silent.
Finally, the two of them set their sights on Angel, obviously wanting Angel to decide the final route.
"I don't know which route is more suitable. However, if we go to Xialu Ridge, won't we also be attacked by the Xialu Witch?" Angel said.
"It is indeed possible to be attacked by Witch Xialu, but if Witch Xialu is in a good mood and we explain the specific situation to her, she may be able to tolerate it. There were also ships passing by Witch Xialu in the past.
There are even mortal ships." Arwen said.
Helen also helped at this time: "Most of the ships that were attacked were attacked deep into the Xialu Ridge. We can stop for a period of time outside the Xialu Ridge, wait for the hurricane to pass, and then return to the dead ring area and choose a new channel.
"
"But some of them were attacked as soon as they entered the Xialu Sea Ridge." Alwin added Helen's unfinished words, "So, no matter which way you go, there are actually dangers, and you can only leave it to fate.
"
Angel turned around and looked at the approaching hurricane.
How long can he and Toby maintain the Yunluo with such majestic power? He is not sure yet.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's take advantage of the wind and go to Xialu Hailing."
"Okay! Let's dispatch the personnel immediately." Helen and Alvin received this order and without any hesitation, they immediately turned around to make arrangements for their respective affairs.
Angel silently looked at the hurricane in the distance.
It is actually normal to encounter such hurricanes in the Devil's Sea. But this is the first time to encounter a hurricane in such an important area.
