The warship traveled quickly across the sea, cutting through the waves and galloping away into the distance.
Thick dark clouds have accumulated in the sky, and the dark clouds spread thickly, covering the entire sea surface, as if they were about to swallow the sea.
The turbulent sea water became darker and darker, the wind roared, and the sea water was swept by the wind, creating huge waves.
Huge waves hit the boat one after another. The whole boat seemed like a lonely boat in the sea, and it could capsize at any time. There were not many people on the boat, but they drove the boat steadily in the wind and waves of the sea.
Normally people would find a place to escape from this kind of weather, but Pei Ziyun had been sailing on the sea for a long time without seeing land, so it was inevitable to encounter this storm.
Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the distance of the ship. This whirlpool was extremely huge. The entire sea surface seemed to be sinking. The whirlpool rotated very fast. The center was bottomless and seemed to lead straight to the abyss. Everything around it seemed to be swallowed up by it. Go in.
The strange thing is that opposite the place where the vortex appeared is a towering mountain. The vortex was formed here, as if it was showing off to the mountain, but the mountain remained unmoved.
Looking carefully, there was a dark cave on the mountainside. The people on the boat saw it. They originally planned to go there to take shelter from the wind and rain, but at this moment, there was a whirlpool blocking the way, so they had to take a detour.
"This is the Charybdis whirlpool, don't get close, rush over."
"Also, don't get close to that cave. There are terrible sea monsters there." Pei Ziyun looked at the whirlpool and mountains getting closer and loudly ordered: "Avoid it."
At this time, the boat was very close to the whirlpool, and everyone on the boat heard the sound of waves and thunder, which was earth-shattering.
Faced with a whirlpool as powerful as heaven and earth, no one on the entire ship could survive if they were sucked in. However, all survivors were experienced helmsmen and sailors. The helmsmen worked hard to control the direction and carefully maneuvered the ship. They bypassed the Charybdis whirlpool from one side, and everyone on the ship broke into a cold sweat when they looked at the deep and huge hole like the eye of the sea.
Facing the majestic power of heaven and earth, human beings are so insignificant. If they are involved, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.
But at this moment, half of his body stretched out from the dark cave and rushed over.
"It's the sea monster Szera." A huge sea monster rushed towards the ship that had just escaped from danger. Its voice was almost like a dog barking. It was so huge that it could catch up to half the size of the ship. It had six snake heads. It was like six dancing giant ropes rushing towards the ship.
"That's it." Pei Ziyun's eyes narrowed. The moment he saw the sea monster coming out, he was ready with his weapon. When it came close, he threw out the spear in his hand and shot at the sea monster.
Many people have died in previous distresses, and now there are not many people on the ship. We cannot lose more, otherwise there will be insufficient manpower and the ship will not be able to sail.
Only Pei Ziyun would strike first and be ready when the sea monster came out to prevent the warship from being reduced again.
The sea monster Szera was so huge that the spear hit it, but it did not hurt its vital parts. It took the pain and roared, but it was not stopped in the end.
"Bang." The sea monster's body hit the hull of the ship heavily. The entire warship tilted sideways, but luckily it did not capsize. The sea monster's snake head instantly took away three sailors on the ship, and the three sailors let out a huge scream. scream.
Pei Ziyun watched them twisting their hands and feet in pain among the sea monster's snake teeth, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
With such a long distance, such bad weather, and still being at sea, Pei Ziyun was helpless. Unless he could fly, he could only throw his spear at the other three snake heads.
"Hurry, hurry, rush over!" Everyone was struggling desperately to get rid of the sea monster attack as soon as possible. The warship rushed and narrowly escaped. Only a "boom" was heard, and the snake's head failed.
"Push through." With everyone's perseverance, they passed through this dangerous sea area and escaped the attack of sea monsters.
Strangely enough, once we passed through, the wind and waves on the sea gradually became smaller, and the dark clouds dispersed. The ship moved forward slowly against the smaller wind and waves, and the speed became slower and slower.
"Prince Paris, our warship has been hit hard and is somewhat damaged. Seawater is constantly pouring into the cabin."
"In addition to taking the helm, take a dip immediately, and also immediately check if there are any islands nearby." Pei Ziyun ordered, looking around himself.
After a long time, when the ship tilted more and more, an island loomed not far away, causing everyone on the ship to exhale heavily, knowing that they were saved.
"This should be Ochygia Island." Pei Ziyun looked at the chart in his hand with a serious expression.
"There is a goddess here. If my boat is intact, I definitely don't want to stay here, but now the boat is leaking."
Pei Ziyun hesitated. The ship was leaking and might sink. The island was right in front of him. Repairing the damaged ship shouldn't take too long, but he was afraid of offending the goddess of the sea.
He knew that the goddess on the island was Calypso, and because all he knew about her was from mythology, Pei Ziyun didn't know if this goddess was easy to deal with.
Calypso is the daughter of Atlas, the Titan who carries the sky. It is said that she was imprisoned on this island by her father Atlas. Not only did she have to endure the torture of imprisonment, but she was also cursed by fate.
Every once in a while, the goddess of fate will send a hero who needs help to Ogygia Island, but it is impossible for the hero sent to stay, and Calypso will fall in love with the hero and fall in love unable to extricate himself.
Historically, Odysseus passed through here and fell in love with the goddess for seven years before leaving here. He did not want to live here for seven years like Odysseus.
"This goddess appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean."
"The goddess in there is not cute."
This island still poses a certain danger to Pei Ziyun, but if the ship is not repaired here, the leaking ship will not know how far it can travel, and it will face the risk of sinking at any time.
At this moment, there was a light in front of the ship's mast, and a woman appeared below again. The mysterious phantom lady appeared again. She stood in front of Pei Ziyun, but the sailors could not see her and even passed through her.
"Dear Madam." Pei Ziyun bowed slightly. It seemed that she had recovered a little and was not as exhausted as last time.
"You don't have to worry. If you go ashore to offer sacrifices, she will entertain you and let you go." The mysterious lady just said without saying much.
When Pei Ziyun heard what she said, his heart dropped. He was about to ask the mysterious lady something, but in the blink of an eye, the phantom disappeared again.
"It is true that she comes without a trace and leaves without a trace. Every time she appears, there is no trace, and the same is true when she leaves - who is she?"
With the assurance of the mysterious lady, Pei Ziyun believed that there would not be much danger in going to this island. After all, the mysterious lady was so powerful that even the gods could be deceived.
At least no gods have noticed her yet.
The ship sailed slowly towards Ogygia Island. Due to the water leakage, it really was traveling at a snail's speed this time.
Although we saw Ochygia Island in front of us very early, it took a long time for the ship to approach the island. At this time, the ship was already very dangerous, so we reluctantly circled the island again and found a beach to dock the ship. Go up.
Pei Ziyun carefully looked at the isolated island on the sea, and found that the island was rugged with strange rocks, towering trees could be seen everywhere, and the white sand on the beach reflected the dazzling sunlight.
After dragging the ship to the beach, Pei Ziyun ordered the sailors to build a simple altar using stones from the island. After the altar was built, he ordered the sailors to cut down trees to repair the damaged ship as soon as possible.
The altar was quickly built. It was a small altar with a pedestal in the middle that was only half a meter high. Since there was no statue of Calypso, a piece of wood with Calypso's name was placed on the pedestal.
Pei Ziyun ordered the sailors to bring gold and bronze from the ship, and put these things into the altar to offer sacrifices to the goddess.
"Honorable Calypso, I am Paris, the prince of Troy. I am exiled to the island. I pray to you and offer sacrifices to you, asking you to allow me to rest on the island for a few days and repair the ship."
After praying, the gold and bronze on the altar disappeared. Pei Ziyun knew that the goddess agreed to the request. In this case, he could stay on the island for a few days to complete the repair of the ship.
Just as Pei Ziyun stood up, he saw a real-looking woman coming from a distance. Not to mention her appearance, almost all goddesses were beautiful.
"This is Calypso." When Pei Ziyun saw it, he knew that this was Calypso.
"Oh, who thought she was a nymph?"
Pei Ziyun was stunned when he saw Calypso. Nymph was a secondary goddess, or even an even lower elf, but his full-level priest feeling made him clearly feel that she was a real goddess.
"The power far exceeds that of Circe, and has completely entered the realm of God."
"Calypso is not much worse than Hecate, and even above Dionysus." Pei Ziyun secretly thought, the last time he swept the world in one day, with the help of Typhon With his eyes, he knew many gods at once.
For this powerful goddess, many people thought she was a lowly nymph. Even I thought so at first, but her strength was so powerful. I immediately thought: "Only the powerful Lord God can promise eternal life." That’s all.”
"So powerful, no wonder she promised Odysseus eternal life in the myth."
"Prince who has come from afar, I am very satisfied with your sacrifice. Few people are as polite as you. I have prepared a banquet for you. Please come with me." Calypso seemed to be in a good mood.
"Honorable Calypso, thank you very much for your welcome." Pei Ziyun replied respectfully: "If I am lucky enough to be entertained by you, I will be grateful."
"Do you know my identity?" Calypso asked curiously.
"Your deeds are widely known. Everyone admires and admires you very much. It is not surprising to know your identity." Pei Ziyun said.
"Haha, you are really good at talking." Calypso knew it was a compliment, but she was still very satisfied.
Calypso is indeed very powerful, far more powerful than Circe and even one level more powerful than Thetis. The reason is unclear.
