The devil sea, the sky is clear.
Angel held his head and looked lazily at the clear blue sky outside the window: "It's actually sunny again, is this really the Devil's Sea?"
"I remember Lucas said in his diary that he prayed sincerely, and the god of the sea took pity on him and told him that there is a sea area where the weather is always sunny. Isn't that what he said?" Angel thought wildly.
Originally, this was just a race of thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it was that the Yunluo had left the foggy area for almost a week. This week was actually all sunny, with no storms or huge waves. It was like the Baleen Sea of the Resting Moon, calm and peaceful.
But will there be a peaceful place in the Devil's Sea? Angel was a little unconvinced.
You know, this route is so peaceful that you don't even see a few sea beasts.
There was no sea beast to kill, Toby was slumped outside the window, lazily basking in the sun.
Angel stretched and pushed open the door of the balcony. The golden sunlight immediately shone on him, with a warm feeling.
Leaning on the iron railing, Angel was enjoying the comfort of the sun while blowing the sea breeze.
"Whether it's the clear sea recorded in Lucas' logbook, it's not bad to be able to capture this warm sun in winter." Angel pondered.
After a while, Angel finished resting and decided to go back indoors to continue his research. But when I glanced at the deck below, I found that in the past there was always a place where sailors were noisy, but now it is quiet.
There was only one sailor standing guard, leaning sickly against the pillar, his face pale.
"Huh? According to the liveliness of the group of sailors, why didn't they react when they saw the sunlight today?" Angel stood on the spot and recalled the memories of these days.
He has been discussing shoe plate making with Nano for the past two weeks, and he has not gone out much. However, he did not seem to hear any movement outside.
These sailors can't be cats, right
Angel looked at the obviously sick sentry sailor in the distance, with some thoughts in his heart. Or, other people are sick like this sailor
Angel thought for a while, and decided to use his mental power to probe down to see the situation. If a large number of sailors really fell, this is not a trivial matter. Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to go to the Phelan Continent without anyone driving a boat.
Just when Angel was about to investigate, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and at the same time there was a knock on his door.
The person here is Helen, whom I haven't seen for nearly a week. Helen's complexion was also a little pale, and she seemed to be sick too. Not only did her lips chapped, but her originally fat body had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.
"Deputy Captain Helen, do you have anything to do with me?" Angel went back to the table and sat down, clasping his hands and looking at Helen who was standing in front of him.
After taking a few deep breaths, Helen said to Angel, "Lord Pat, we need your help."
After a long while, Angel filled nearly 200 buckets of fresh water with the water delivery technique, and then looked at the sailor who left his room cheering with a subtle expression.
He originally thought that there was an infectious disease on the ship, and he decided to solve the source of the disease himself. As a result, Helen told him that no one was sick, but that they all shriveled without drinking water for several days.
Helen hasn't been wet for almost two days, so her lips are chapped.
Angel never expected that the final answer would be like this.
But thinking about it, it seems right. In the past half month, the Silver Palm Island has not been able to land, and the fresh water resources cannot be replenished; it has never rained when entering the foggy area. Now this section of the route is sunny every day, and fresh water cannot be obtained, and the lack of water is normal.
It's just that Angel can't figure it out a bit. According to Helen, the water has been running out of water since entering the foggy area. It has been more than half a month so far, and he has come to him until now
"We are afraid of disturbing the adults." Helen lowered her head and said embarrassedly.
"I once said that if you want to thank me, you will safely sail the Yunluo to the Ferran Continent. This is also our common goal now. Before reaching this goal, you can come to me to discuss any obstacles along the way." An Geer paused: "I don't want the lack of resources to reduce the number of people on board, which will cause the time to travel to the Ferran mainland to be delayed."
Helen nodded: "I see."
"The water shortage problem has now been solved, but are you lacking food resources now?"
Helen shook her head: "The food storage is sufficient. There are plenty of dehydrated vegetables, dried meat, and canned food. We also have personnel who specially arrange fishing, and there is no shortage of food."
Angel's expression was slightly disappointed. He originally wanted to practice magic bread. Since there is no shortage of food, they have no life to enjoy.
After talking about the resource issue, Helen added: "Sir, in addition to the water resource issue, there is one more thing, which is the issue of choosing the next regional route."
Hearing this question, Angel's head got bigger. He doesn't have any outside consultation now, so he can't give Helen and the others advice. He lets Helen and Arwen make their own choices every time, but they have to come over and ask every time.
According to them, this is the process arranged by Baibei Shipping Company, and the decision of the route must involve extraordinary people.
So there was no way, Angel sighed: "Go ahead."
Anyway, after Helen finished speaking, she would also take the initiative to tell the pros and cons of each route and give her advice to Angel. He just had to go as Helen suggested.
Helen took out the chart and pointed to a red cross on the way: "Sir, at the current speed, we will reach the dead ring here in the early morning of tomorrow."
Helen then talked for a long time, and Angel listened to a general idea: Dead Ring is an extremely important transfer station. There are only three relatively safe routes to choose from. Compared with the dozens of routes before moving, it is rare here. a lot.
Helen: "Although there are many dangerous routes on the dead ring, these three routes are relatively safe, and the accident rate is basically below 5%. The three routes are: Windless Sea, Xialu Ridge, and Winter Passage."
"The sea without wind, also known as the lonely road. There is very little wind here, and the speed is much slower than other routes. If you want to speed up the speed, you can only turn on the reserve kinetic energy of the ship, but this is very likely to cause no wind. The attention of the giant sea beasts in the wind and sea. Therefore, when we take this road, we all rely on human power to move forward.”
Hearing that the speed of this road would be slow, Angel had already made a fork in his heart.
"Winter Channel, this is an extremely cold route with few sea animals. Although it has ice drifting, the Yunluo has the effect of breaking ice quickly, so it is also possible to take this route."
When it came to the last route, Helen hesitated: "Xialu Hailing, this route is the route we used to take. However, this time we don't want to take this route."
"Why?" Angel looked at the chart. There are actually many islands in the middle of the Xialu Ridge. For ships that have been drifting at sea for a long time, there should be islands worth mooring, right
"The reason why it is called Xialu Hailing is because there is a witch living in this sea area. According to the words of Lord Roman, that witch is called Xia Lu. Every time we go to Xialu Hailing, the ships of our Sky Machine City have to go to Xialu Hailing. Send her a message requesting navigation, and if she trespasses, she will be regarded as an enemy, and the foreign ship will be shot down and sank."
"In the past, Lord Roman had the way to get in touch, but now Lord Roman has..." Helen paused: "If we don't have contact information, we'd better not go this way. I heard that the witch Xia Lu has a bad temper. , the reason why she has always been willing to give us the route is because the person behind Baibei Shipping Company personally visited her and made some promises before she agreed."
Shalu witch? Angel searched for memory in his mind for a long time, but there was no specific image. But from what Helen said, she dared to live in the Devil's Sea all the time, and she should be a powerful superhuman. Even people from Sky Mechanic City have visited her, so there is a high probability that she is an official wizard.
If you belong to an official wizard, don't step in at will, or you will be killed because of offense, which is also self-inflicted.
"Then what's your suggestion, which channel is better for us to take?" Angel asked.
Helen pondered for a moment: "If you want to be safe without any waves, then go to the Windless Sea. There are still many islands in the Windless Sea that can replenish resources, but the speed may be slower. You need to waste a month in this area."
"If you want to go faster, you can take the Winter Channel. It's just that this channel may have a harsh environment. Every time sailors freeze to death in the Winter Channel," Helen said.
Listening to Helen's tone, she is obviously more inclined towards the windless sea. But Angel wanted to hurry up, so he was more willing to take the winter waterway.
"Let's take the winter waterway, the cold problem... I'll solve it." Angel thought: It's a big deal to spend a day on the ship to carve a constant temperature magic pattern.
Helen nodded her head. As she learned about the wizard during this period of time, she also knew that he was a man of his word. Since she said that she wanted to solve the problem of cold, she would definitely come up with a solution. .
"I'm going to discuss with Captain Arwen and give the order." Helen said, and was about to put away the chart and leave.
Angel's eyes were still on the chart at this time. He noticed that there was a nearly straight channel at the other end of the "dead ring". However, this area was marked with a skull, and Angel asked curiously, "What route is this route?"
Helen looked at it with a trace of fear on her face: "Sir, this sea area is extremely dangerous, even the big figures in Baibei Shipping Headquarters would not dare to get involved easily."
"According to Lord Roman, this sea area is also called the Sea of Ghosts, where countless terrifying ghosts float up and down. Any ship entering it will turn into a ghost ship and will never be able to leave."
"Sea of Ghosts? No wonder the skulls are marked here." Angel didn't go into it, but folded the chart and gave it to Helen.
After Helen put away the chart, Angel suddenly remembered a doubt he had just now.
"Helen, when you came to this sea area, was it always sunny?"
