According to the known sea charts of this world, the current area where humans can live in Wajima is close to an ellipse, with Washima Taisha as the center and radiating out to the surroundings.
From the sea level and the state of the sun, Lu Jian can see that this world is also a spherical planet and not a flat continent.
Therefore, based on simple speculation based on ship speed and sea charts, the area where civilization still exists on Washima is no more than the size of Europe. In places further away, it has all been covered by net fire.
After the pure fire burns the sea water, it will cause various wonderful weather phenomena, such as the thunderstorms currently located on the border. These thunderstorms contain powerful power. Even the witches cannot stop the thunder in the area and burn it.
The sea is raging with storms, and even with the blessing of the gods, no ship can sail in such sea areas.
Moreover, the pure fire is still spreading inland, and those deep purple lightnings far away in the sky may reach the location where Lu Jian is now in a few decades or a hundred years.
In the early morning, the sun is dim, and the deep blue sea reflects the morning light. The sparkling waves make the sea like a broken mirror, reflecting thousands of colors.
Lu Jian stood on the bow of the boat, feeling the not-so-fresh sea breeze. He saw a black figure leaping out of the water above the sea, like a dolphin, but it quickly dived to the bottom again.
thump--
The black shadow jumped out of the water again and landed on the deck, taking with it a fish that was bigger than the black shadow.
"good."
Lu Tiao touched Laika's head and looked at what he had gained today.
This is a fish with a slightly strange shape, about one person tall in length. The surface of the spindle-shaped body is covered with tiny scales. These scales emit brilliant colors due to the refraction of sunlight. The fish has a long head and fine teeth.
, the most eye-catching thing is its fins, which are very large, like the wings of a dragonfly. You can imagine what kind of strange trajectories such large fins will show when swimming in the water.
"Hey guys, you can have extra food tonight."
Lu Jian asked the sailors to put the fish in the icehouse where food was stored, and then he saw the witch Kohaku looking at him from the window on the second floor of the cabin.
He said hello.
Amber did not respond, but quickly returned to the room, and the maid closed the window.
"Because you want to become a miko, why don't you want to get close to other people?"
Lu Tan thought about it for a moment.
In her own world, this kind of person who might gain great power would probably not be so close to the people around her, because she would not know why these people came to approach her, nor would she know why these people came to approach her.
When will you betray yourself?
To the officiating witch, she is the king of this world, and kings are always aloof.
Lu Tian didn't hesitate. He wasn't here to capture or serve mikos. As long as they were delivered safely, there would be no problem.
He manifested his [Last Words] and fired one shot each at the ship and the mercenary boat ahead.
Immediately, the speed of the two ships suddenly became faster.
The "speed" collected by Lu Jian is about forty or fifty kilometers per hour, while a sail-powered ship can only reach thirty kilometers per hour when the wind direction and ocean current are suitable. No matter how you calculate it, it is faster.
Faced with this sudden increase in speed, the sailors were a little confused, but they didn't say much. There was nothing happening on the sea. Maybe it was just the ocean current that had become faster.
In the evening, Lu Jian could already see that the storm on the sea border had disappeared on the other side of the horizon, and they had sailed a long distance.
After eating dinner cooked by the fish caught by Laika in the morning, Lu Tan stayed in the warehouse again.
Not long after, Lu Tiao saw the guard walking in unconsciously again. This time, Lu Tiao could see the guard's eyes turned white, with no pupils inside, as if he was hypnotized by something, maybe some kind of
The strong mental suggestion combined with the bewitchment must have made him behave like this.
The guard came to the depths of the warehouse, pushed aside the straw, and revealed the magic circle inside. He placed the statue on the magic circle and was about to pray when Lu Tiao came down with a crowbar and knocked the guard unconscious.
After confirming the other party's condition and dragging him aside, Lu Jian came to the statue and continued to pray.
...
In the distance, on the battleship.
Lei Lei sat in the center of the magic circle, looking slightly uneasy.
"The opponent's two ships started to speed up a lot this morning. The speed was far beyond our expectation. Have they discovered something?"
Lei Lei muttered to himself.
"Maybe it's just a tailwind."
Flash sat aside and said absentmindedly.
"No, it's impossible. Even if we move forward at full speed, we are still being distanced by the opponent. They must not be relying on the power of nature and are the opponent's chosen ones?"
While Lei Lei was guessing, a crimson light glowed around the magic circle.
"He's coming."
When Lei Lei heard the layers of illusory prayers, he lowered his voice and spoke in a solemn and majestic tone.
"I will send down gifts."
After waiting for a while, Lei Lei heard a response from the other side.
"Excellent, my lord, I have just given you fresh blood. This belongs to a guy on the ship who has always disliked me. I tricked him into coming here and cut out his heart with a knife. This fresh blood is beating
My heart is my sacrifice to you."
"???"
After hearing the other party's statement, Lei Lei's head was full of questions.
Has this already killed someone?
Damn it, did they speed up the boat because they found the body?
The opponent's Chosen One must have known about our existence, so they used their extraordinary abilities to get rid of us!!!
Lei Ting feels that people in this world are really useless, and they can't even do a little sneaky thing.
And this guy's actions obviously ruined his plan.
Lei Lei never imagined that as a high-ranking creature, he would have to change his pace because of a mortal.
It's so humiliating.
"Have you been discovered?"
he asked subconsciously.
"No, no, my great lord, they didn't find anything, I did it perfectly... Or, my lord, you think it is better to show your power, you must do it in the most conspicuous place
Let them witness the fate of heretics?"
The man's voice became even more fanatical, and he spoke words that sounded a little creepy even to Thunder.
"It's not necessary, there's no need. Suffering and pious prayer is what I need. I don't want a blood sacrifice."
Lei Lei immediately dissuaded the other party.
He thought for a while and spoke again.
"You are sailing too fast. You need to slow down, otherwise you will lose contact with me."
"Then I'll kill the captain!"
The other party immediately said viciously.
"No, no, you just need to find a way to slow down the ship. Don't kill anyone, don't expose yourself, remember this!"
Lei Lei almost cursed.
Why does this guy only know how to kill people?
Could it be that this statue has a special influence on the people here?
"I see!"
I don't know if it was Lei Ting's illusion, but the other party's voice of agreement was filled with joy.
When the prayer was interrupted, Lei Lei scratched his head.
"At the current speed, we may lose them."
Flash said from the side.
"Don't worry, the storm is coming soon. In the storm, they will definitely lose their way and slow down. We can take the opportunity to close the distance."
Lei Lei glanced at the sea map and didn't expect that the powerful people in this world still had such power.
He looked at the marked vortex, hoping that the "believer" would stop causing trouble.
