Hoo hoo!
The wind howled and the rain poured down.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, the originally calm ocean seemed to turn into a monster with its mouth wide open, and a huge vortex formed, swallowing everything in the storm.
The advancement of the Thrall universe, and the integration of the only continent into this high-dimensional world, originally required a process of running-in.
Therefore, tornadoes, storms, tsunamis... all terrible disasters are constantly happening in the sea area near the continent of Sear, forming a natural obstacle.
Not to mention, Wu Ming also exacerbated this process maliciously, trying to prevent outside prying eyes.
However, under the temptation of great rewards, no matter the East or the West, there is never a shortage of people who will fight for it.
After all, the men on the sea, in this era, have already given their lives to the god of fate. As long as the temptation is enough, they will dare to take risks even if the devil is in hell.
At this time, amidst the wind and waves, a sailboat was slowly moving forward.
The whole body of the ship was pitch black, and it was built with a kind of iron wood unique to the western continent. The black and shiny color meant that it was at least 500 years old. Even small-caliber cannons couldn't pierce it. The sails are also blessed by priests to last for decades without deterioration.
Such a big ship, no matter which navigating family it is placed in, is a treasure enough to be handed down from generation to generation.
But now, under the storm, the sails have already been ripped off, and the ship drifted helplessly. Even though the sailors were already trying their best to control it, the iron-wooden ship still seemed to fall apart or be overturned by the oncoming waves in the next moment. .
Under the mighty power of nature, even the iron and wooden boats that are like the most important weapons of the country can only bow their heads and bow their heads!
"Quick! Add cabin!"
"Hold the rudder and pay attention to the course!"
"There is a water leak in cabin three, fill it up immediately!"
…
On the ship, many sailors howled one after another. They were all tied around their waists with heavy cables, and the other end of the rope was tightly tied to the mainmast of the ship.
Under the torrential rain, their clothes were already drenched, revealing their lean and strong muscles. Looking at the endless storm, their faces were full of fear.
While the sailors on this ship were fighting for their lives and their future, the cabin was peaceful, and many items were stagnant under the power of spells. Compared with the turbulent wind and rain outside, it was a completely different world.
"grown ups!"
A man with white curly hair in a purple gold-rimmed robe respectfully saluted a gray-robed man sitting on the seat: "Aren't you going to take action? Without your help for a storm of this magnitude, we're afraid Will be completely buried in the sea..."
"I have already made a move. The storm on this route is already the thinnest in the nearby sea area..."
The gray-robed man sighed, but there was not much emotion in his tone: "And, this is the rule!"
The corner of his mouth covered under the gray robe curled up into a smile: "No matter what happened to the newly integrated continent, we must give them 20 years to transform. It can’t be violated either! And the legendary domainer who ruled Soll Island also clearly expressed his wish not to be disturbed by too many people... This means that we can’t go there blatantly, understand?”
The gray-robed man went on to explain: "There are loopholes in any rule, and large-scale organizational exploration is not enough, but what if it is 'accidentally' discovered?"
"So you didn't tell these sailors everything, but that you were going to find a treasure?"
The curly-haired old man's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
The gray-robed man nodded: "On this ship, the two of us are the only insiders, so remember, this must not be leaked! Because of this, we have a lot of scruples! First of all, supernatural power, if my lord Lowering the divine power will definitely dispel this storm, but what is the use of it?"
Even the true god behind him is unwilling to bear the price of directly tearing up the agreement.
"I get it... it's just..."
The curly-haired old man watched the huge amount of rain outside wash the window like a waterfall, and there was still obvious worry on his face.
Seeing this, the gray-robed man finally said helplessly: "Don't worry, you forgot the 'hardening technique' scroll that the captain got before leaving?"
"Is that also your special arrangement?"
The old man's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
The gray-robed man directly admitted: "That scroll has been jointly blessed by several scroll masters, and the magic power contained in it is enough to turn this ship into an invincible fortress on the sea. It's enough to get through this storm!"
Click!
At this moment, a huge wave with a height of tens of meters hit, almost submerging the entire ship.
The violent vibration even felt inside the cabin.
"The keel is broken..."
A terrified voice rang out from outside.
The keel of a ship, equivalent to the human spine, is the most important supporting structure of the ship.
Once the keel is cracked, it will only be an instant before the ship is torn apart.
"Don't panic!"
At this moment, the captain was at the helm himself. Although he regretted accepting the task without inquiring clearly for the generous reward, if the ship was destroyed and people were killed at this time, he would definitely not be able to run away, so he could only grit his teeth and take out a A golden scroll: "Advanced solidification!"
boom!
There are fine runes on the scroll, and the magic circles are exquisite, like a work of art.
After tearing it apart, a powerful spell immediately emerged, blessing the entire ship.
hum!
The surface of the ship was suddenly coated with a layer of golden light, and it stabilized strangely in the storm.
Especially on the keel, the original fine cracks were healed and smoothed under an invisible force at this time, giving them a new look.
'Is the effect of curing technique so good? '
After the spell was released, the most surprised thing was the captain.
But looking at the cheering sailors, he pouted his lips, but he still didn't express his doubts. Instead, he shouted: "You bastards, what are you still doing in a daze? Work quickly, or you want to become a sea monster Food?"
After a while, the storm gradually weakened, and the ship broke through the fog and came to an unfamiliar sea area.
The warm and genial sunshine fell down. Compared with the stormy hell just now, it was completely a hell, a paradise!
In the boundary where the sea and the sky meet, a black line slowly emerges, it is a huge deserted island.
There are still sporadic island chains around the continent of Searle, and Emerald Port is the most famous one among them.
"Finally arrived, New World!"
The sailors full of the ship, and even the captain, were just thankful to have survived the crisis of doom at last.
But the gray-robed man who came to the deck and the curly-haired old man looked at each other, and they both had a strange feeling in their hearts.
In any case, the area of this newly-appeared section is not bad. Although it is not as large as a kingdom, it is definitely a big guy in the principality.
Such a foundation naturally aroused the covetousness of many great nobles.
And, what does the integration of a new world represent
Endless wealth of gold and silver! Origin of raw materials! Goods are dumping! There is also fertile ground for God's faith!
As long as you seize the opportunity, there are opportunities almost everywhere!
Compared with this return, the life and death of a mere crew is nothing.
At least the gray-robed man is quite clear that this is the fifth time his power has explored like this, and the only outcome of the previous four times was that the ship crashed and people died, and he didn't even see the edge of the New World.
Even, not only their family.
All the nobles who are close to the east and the sea basically have actions.
"Lord Roger!"
The captain came to the gray-robed man with a coral pipe in his mouth: "There is a big island in front of me. My crew members want to go up there to take a rest, and we need to replenish some supplies..."
"You are the captain, you arrange it!"
In this respect, Roger, the gray-robed man, seemed quite open-minded.
"Then what should we do next?"
Seeing the sailors cheering, driving the boat, or swimming to the shore with a plank in their arms, and setting foot on the long-lost land, the white-haired old man asked Roger in a low voice.
"Next..."
Roger smiled slightly: "It depends on their free play, we just need to guide secretly... No, don't even do the guidance, this captain will naturally understand the value of a new continent!"
The old man was shocked when he heard this.
In fact, these sailors don't know anything about it, and now they are even more bait.
No matter what they do, as long as they succeed, they will inevitably benefit from their own side.
And in case that Legendary Domain user gets angry and even kills them all, there will be no loss to himself.
You can even use this as a basis to demand compensation from the other party, after all, they are all 'innocent'!
Even in the rules made by the gods, there are too many loopholes that can be exploited.
In fact, this might be the back door they left for themselves.
The rules made by the strong are of course beneficial to themselves.
Even though it looks fair and just on the surface, in fact, when the other party is weak, there is not much way to protect one's own interests.
This is the sorrow of the weak!
In fact, to send so many people to die, this fig leaf is enough in the eyes of those big forces.
As for how many of these mortals died below, what does it matter
In the eyes of the true god, even those in the Legendary Domain are nothing more than bigger ants.
If you want to make them jealous, this power is far from enough.
A few days later, the ship set sail again after a supplementary rest.
Immediately, the captain made a discovery: "There is a ship ahead! Raise the flag! Damn it... I can't understand their semaphore at all. Do these people really know how to sail?"
On the opposite side of the ship, Galenbu put down the binoculars suspiciously: "Strange ship, weird semaphore, who are they?"
