After Helen left, Angel opened Lucas' logbook again.
According to Helen, this channel was not so peaceful in the past, and all kinds of wind, thunder and rain disasters would happen. This time, I was lucky. It was sunny all the way, and I passed this route with ease.
"It seems that I thought too much." Angel rubbed his temples, and finally closed the sheepskin roll helplessly.
After closing the parchment roll, Angel saw the name of the roll again.
Generally speaking, people will deliberately emphasize that they have such a trait only when they are extremely lacking in that trait.
The title of the volume is "The Logbook of the Most Honest Captain Lucas in the Golden Age". Who would put the title "Most Honest" in front of his log? This Lucas emphasizes that he is an "honest" captain, probably because he lacks this quality
However, Angel also felt that people who like to lie rarely tell a few truths, and when others don't believe in them, they will jump to emphasize that they are "honest". If interpreted from this perspective, Lucas' logbook also seems to have some real possibilities.
Angel shook his head, his thoughts were a little confused. For Lucas' logbook, he is still skeptical.
Putting away the parchment roll, Angel stopped thinking about it and continued to study the "flying boots".
The wall clock on the wall continued to turn, and in a blink of an eye, the day was replaced by night, and the moonlight was soft, covering the calm sea with a coat of starlight.
Angel sat at the desk for a long time, then finally raised his head.
A pair of artistic black leather boots appeared on the paper, with delicate dark lines on both sides of the leather boots, which looked a bit mysterious.
"The first time you make shoes, let's start with simple styles." Angel murmured silently.
He's cut a lot of clothes these days, but it's the first time shoes are made. He took out the corresponding materials from the bracelet according to the drawings, and started cutting and tanning before refining.
While he was processing the leather, there was a commotion outside.
The work at hand was almost completed, Angel pushed open the door and came to the balcony to see what was happening outside.
As soon as the door was opened, bursts of dazzling brilliance flashed before his eyes.
"Gurgling." At this moment, 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 scene, but what is even more dazzling is the glittering beauty under the sea.
The starry sky covered the sea, and at the same time, circles of glittering halos appeared under the sea.
The calm sea is like the appearance of countless glowing donuts, swaying with the waves. With the stars projected in the night sky, it is extremely beautiful.
The noise of the sailors is also because of this.
From their few words, Angel probably knew the name of this phenomenon: dead ring.
The ring of fluorescent light under the sea is actually a creature called "dead jellyfish". Its body is very fragile, but it is highly poisonous. Those who are stabbed by the dead jellyfish have almost no chance of surviving.
Because there are so many dead jellyfish piled up here, and in the dark, they will flash aura, so this phenomenon is called "dead ring". At the same time, it is also the name of this area.
Helen also appeared on the deck, but unlike other sailors, she just wanted to appreciate the beauty of the dead ring, but ordered the sailors to work together in an orderly manner.
We are about to change the route and enter the winter waterway. Everyone must change into warmer clothes, the icebreaker on the bottom of the boat must be checked, and the areas that are prone to frost damage should be coated with antifreeze oil layer... These things must be completed in a short time. , The sailors who had been watching the scenery had to go back to their posts after wailing.
Angel also jumped off the balcony on the third floor and landed on Helen's side.
"Sir, good evening." Helen froze for a moment and saluted respectfully.
"Is it about to enter the Winter Passage?"
Helen replied: "Yes, Yunluo has already started to slow down, we will carry out the final overhaul at the dead ring, and it 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 see where the so-called waterway was at all.
However, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Angel did not study it in detail. He retracted his eyes and said to Helen: "I will draw a constant temperature magic pattern on the boat, which can keep the temperature on the boat 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 used as a floating pattern, so the duration will not be too long, only about half a month."
Helen's face showed joy: "Thank you, sir, half a month is enough to get out of the winter waterway."
Angel nodded, took out a bottle of gargoyle blood ink from the bracelet, and began to carve. He knew that some people on the ship needed to judge the weather conditions based on temperature, humidity and wind direction, so he deliberately left an observation deck, which was not included in the constant temperature magic pattern.
Angel's carving is very fast. This kind of low-level magic pattern only needs to continuously supply energy, and the blood ink itself emits energy fluctuations, which hardly requires any effort. But it would take him half a day to make the entire Yunluo surrounded by constant temperature magic patterns.
While he was carving, the Yunluo was also moving slowly.
But it didn't take long for Angel to hear a shout. He didn't hear the content of the shout, and he saw everyone moving. He saw the Yunluo suddenly swerve and speed up a bit.
When Angel was wondering, Helen came over and said anxiously: "Sir, Dulu said just now that a very strong hurricane is approaching."
Angel knew that Dulu was the fishing village boy who told him the story of the beautiful Naya.
"you sure?"
Helen: "Duru has some kind of omen-like intuition about the weather changes at sea, which is why he was brought on the Conch by Captain Arwin. He has hardly missed the weather forecast since he got on board."
Hearing that Helen was so sure, Angel also frowned. This is the dead ring area, which happens to be the intersection of the surrounding sea areas. If the hull is deflected by the hurricane and enters the terrifying sea area, it will be bad.
"Sir, is there anything you can do?" Helen looked at Angel eagerly.
Angel pondered for a moment. If he relied on the vein of gravity, he could stabilize the Yunluo to a certain extent. But their opponent is nature, and it is difficult to deal with it for a long time.
However, the arrow is on the string, and it must be tried.
"How far is it from the Winter Passage?" Angel asked.
"At full speed, it will be there in half an hour." Helen said.
"How long before the hurricane predicted by Dulu arrives."
As soon as this question fell, Angel saw Helen staring into the distance in a daze. He turned back with Helen's gaze, and saw the clouds and mists rolling in the distance, like a dragon and snake was rolling over with the clouds and mists.
In the image of the holographic tablet, Angel once saw a wave of Qianjiang that was like a white line, rushing towards it with great momentum.
Today, a white line is also coming from afar, but this white line is countless times larger and terrifying countless times!
"The hurricane, it's already here." Helen said dully.
Angel glanced at it. According to the time, he might be near the Yunluo in less than two minutes. That is to say, if they want to get to the Winter Passage, they have to rely on the gravitational veins to support them in the hurricane for at least half an hour.
With the storage capacity of his and Toby's gravitational veins, and the opponent is nature, it is extremely difficult to last for half an hour.
Angel turned his head and asked, "How long does it take to sail the other two safe waterways, Xialu Ridge and Wufenghai?"
"We are now on the road of the Winter Passage, so it is relatively far from the other two waterways. It takes two hours to reach the Xialu Ridge, and even more than five hours to reach the Windless Sea." After Helen finished speaking.
"There's no other way. We can only take the winter waterway. However, I don't know if we can stick to it." Angel looked back at Toby. "It seems that we are going to do our best."
Toby also understood what Angel meant, nodded and called out.
"We still have a solution, which is to take advantage of the wind." Suddenly, a male voice appeared behind them.
Helen turned around and saw a serious-looking Arwen appearing at the cabin door.
Take advantage of the wind? Helen seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "What does the captain mean, we use the power of the hurricane?"
Alwin walked over quickly and nodded to Helen: "Yes, we are going to take the winter waterway now, and we must carry the hurricane and go against the wind. But if we take advantage of the wind, we can follow this path. "
Arwin took out the chart and pointed to one of the areas.
Xia Lu Hai Ridge.
"Walking to Xialu Hai Ridge just happens to take advantage of the wind. With the wind, we can even reach Xia Lu Hai Ridge in a short period of time." Arwen said.
"This is indeed a good idea, but..." Helen looked at the chart carefully, with a hint of hesitation on her face: "However, will the wind really be as we thought? The hurricane in the Devil's Sea is a factor of instability, and changes often occur. road."
"This can only be left to destiny." Arwin also understood this truth and sighed softly.
Helen was also silent.
In the end, the two of them set their sights on Angel, obviously asking Angel to decide the final route.
"I don't know which route to take is more suitable. However, if we go to Xialu Hailing, wouldn't we also be attacked by the Xialu witch?" Angel said.
"It is indeed possible to be attacked by Witch Xia Lu, but if Witch Xia Lu is in a good mood and we explain the specific situation to her, maybe she can get away with it. There were also ships passing through Witch Xia Lu, There are even mortal ships," Arwin said.
Helen also helped at this time: "Most of the ships that were attacked were attacked only when they went deep into the Xialu Sea Ridge. We can stop for a while outside the Xialu Sea Ridge and wait for the hurricane to pass, 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 her endless words for Helen, "So, no matter which way you go, there are actually dangers, and you can only leave it to the destiny. "
Angel turned his head and looked at the approaching hurricane.
With such majestic power, how long can he and Toby maintain the Yunluo? He couldn't come to a conclusion either.
He thought for a moment, "Let's take advantage of the wind and go to Xialu Hailing."
"Okay! Let's go to the dispatcher immediately." Helen and Arwen received this order, and without any hesitation, immediately turned around to arrange their own affairs.
Angel silently looked at the hurricane in the distance.
Encountering such hurricanes in the Devil's Sea is actually the norm. But this is the first time a hurricane has been encountered in such an important area.
It can only be said that their luck is really bad.
