Heavy rain poured down from the night sky. The ship moved forward slowly in the dense heavy rain.
On the dark gray night sea, the black ships looked inconspicuous, constantly moving with the waves.
In the heavy rain, Angele stood in front of the glass cabin window, looking through the rain curtain at the endless sea from a distance. The sea water rippled slightly, and the raindrops hit the deck and hull, making a thin popping sound.
.
Click!!
A bolt of lightning flashed across again, illuminating Angelet's whole body.
He was in his room, and the silver candlestick on the table kept dripping wax oil on the brown wooden table as the ship swayed.
Lispel was sitting behind the wooden table, carefully holding a black leather bag, grabbing handfuls of silver-white fine powder from it, and slowly and evenly sprinkled it on the table.
She changed into a tight-fitting white leather outfit. She looked like a musician from a palace noble. She was gorgeous yet elegant, highlighting her slender waist and towering chest. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail and pulled from the right side of her neck.
to the chest.
At this time, she was spreading the silver-white fine powder with concentration.
She sprinkled a large amount of fine powder into curved lines, forming a huge complex character on the table.
Angelet looked away from the window and looked towards Lispel.
"Are you ready?" he asked in a low voice.
Lispel nodded: "Almost."
"It's up to you now. My witchcraft has a limited range. I've tried it, but I can't locate the original land." Angelet was a little helpless.
Lispel frowned and said: "My witchcraft is half a tracking spell borrowed from the prophecy system. Although the distance is very good, the effect is... I can't determine the distance. And there may be interference from other islands on the way. It's very possible.
An error occurred. The energy of the Gemstone Sea is too strong. It has a strong interference effect on the release of witchcraft."
"It's better than us being aimless." Angelet said calmly, "Let's get started."
Lispel nodded.
She reached out and touched the characters on the table.
Buzz!!
The characters suddenly lit up with a strong white light, and then quickly turned into a white screen like a circular water curtain.
A familiar island slowly appeared on the white screen.
There were soldiers stationed, ships docked at the seaside, a gray sea lighthouse. There was also a pennant flying in the wind high up. It was a white flag with a silver horizontal line drawn in the middle.
"It's the island we left from!" Lisper was immediately delighted. Although her face was still expressionless, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
"How far away are we?" Angelet quickly walked to the table. The white light at the edge of the screen illuminated their faces.
Only then did Lispel come to her senses. She stretched out her index finger and quickly drew a character in the air. The character suddenly turned into a white light curtain that submerged into the table.
The screen suddenly shook, but quickly returned to stability.
Only then did Angelet notice that the picture seemed a bit blurry. And there was no sound coming out.
"It is impossible to increase the clarity and transmit the sound. This means that we may still be far away from the island..." Lispel's face looked a little ugly. "It should be at the farthest distance that this witchcraft can detect."
"
"What's the farthest distance?" Angelet asked in a deep voice.
"About three thousand nautical miles..." Lispel replied in a low voice.
"Three thousand nautical miles!!" Angelet took a breath. The entire Pacific Ocean on earth, from China to the United States, is only more than 6,000 nautical miles. Now they are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. With the navigation level of this ship, it is short
It will probably be difficult to get back to where you were within a short period of time.
"It seems. If nothing goes as expected, we will have to stay at sea for at least more than half a month." Lispel regained her calm tone. "Do you have any good ideas? Mr. Green."
"No..." Angelet frowned. "By the way, since we are friends, you can just call me Green. There is no need to add honorifics."
"Is this possible?" Lispel was stunned.
"Of course." Angele nodded, "At the speed of our ship, without the main mast and sails, the ship's speed is estimated to be less than two knots. We must find a way to solve the ship's speed problem, otherwise we may be caught at sea.
I'm trapped to death." One knot means one nautical mile per hour, and two knots means two nautical miles per hour.
"These are not the most troublesome. What I am most worried about is that we may have left the territory of the offshore Sea Clan and may now be floating in the outer waters of the Gem Sea. This is a sea area that even the Sea Clan dare not easily set foot in."
Lispel frowned slightly. "Fortunately, I learned seawater filtration technology from my family. There is not much fresh water on the ship, otherwise drinking water would be troublesome."
"I'm still worried about the problem of fresh water. Your technology is just right. Otherwise, we may have to make energy water to quench our thirst in the future. Drinking too much of that stuff will have a very bad effect on the body. It's better not to use it unless you have to.
Drink." Angelet paused, "The question now is, how to increase the speed of the ship?"
Lispel also frowned and remained silent.
The picture on the table in front of her suddenly flashed and turned into another land.
Gray-brown rocks, a beach made of jagged rocks, a few black turtles crawling in the gaps between the rocks, and dark woods can be seen vaguely in the distance. It looks like an uninhabited island.
The picture silently changed again.
But all that was left was a gray sea.
Lispel tapped her fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.
The light curtain on the table suddenly began to change rapidly, and scenes of the sea flashed quickly. However, no land appeared.
"There is no more land within the ultimate distance," she whispered.
"Let's find a way to increase the speed first. At a speed of two nautical miles per hour, even in a straight line, it will take at least more than two months to cover a distance of 3,000 nautical miles. We can't spend that much time, so it's better to go back early.
." Angelet said in a deep voice.
Lispel also nodded.
Both of them were silent for a while. No one expected that they would find themselves in such an embarrassing situation again after just leaving the dangerous ruins island.
The sound of rain outside the cabin hit the hull of the boat, making dense crackling sounds. From time to time, there were several thunder and lightning sounds. The strong wind that gradually grew stronger filled the gaps in the cabin, making strange whining sounds.
At this moment, it seemed that the cabin was the only place of peace. The outside was filled with endless thunderstorms and strong winds.
"Where are the two great knights Gil and Rivai?" Angelet broke the silence.
"Observe on the deck to see if the rainwater can flow back into the sea in time." Lispel replied in a low voice. The light curtain in front of her slowly dimmed, and it seemed that the time had come.
The white light curtain slowly returned to its original silver-white fine powder. The complex characters drawn on the table also became a little messy. It's just that there were traces of white smoke slowly rising from these silver-white lines, and many of the fine powder were
Melted and solidified.
Lispel silently touched the tabletop with her hand, and immediately all the fine powder was sucked cleanly into her palm, like a magnet meeting iron powder.
Her eyes calmed down and she said softly: "Green, do you like the sea?"
Angelet was thinking about the possibility of using his metal talent to make a metal sail and mast when he was suddenly mentioned this question and came back to his senses slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Lispel's eyes fell on the table and she slowly retracted her hand. There was a handful of silver-white fine powder in her palm.
"I once dreamed of drifting alone on the endless sea of gems. Taking risks. Encountering various adventures, seeing different customs and races. Witnessing the legends left by ancient wizards. A person, in the endless storm.
"On a ship with only one person, it is as if one's own cabin is safe and warm in the whole world."
Her eyes were a little lonely, and the fine powder slowly rose up in the palm of her hand and quickly evaporated. "Whenever this happens, I want to stay away from everything and be alone in a world of one person. In the endless stormy world,
I am alone in my safe and warm room, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside. Can you understand this feeling..."
"Um..." Angelet didn't know how to answer, "Do you like reading novels and poetry collections?"
"Yes, you can see it?" Lispel nodded, "Actually, I have long been tired of this kind of life where apart from meditation, I just collect knowledge and resources. Learning meditation and research, resources, resources, resources. I have already been tired of this kind of life.
I have lived alone in the castle for hundreds of years. I don’t want my life to only have this kind of color.”
"You want to live a safe and stable life. Just find some time to take a good rest." Angelet said calmly.
He could see that Lispel was actually an extremely emotional person. She was not suitable to become a wizard in the first place. It was just her family and qualifications that forced her to take this path.
Lispel said calmly: "I feel very tired."
Angelet said nothing again.
He has seen many women, and most of them are beautiful, which makes him have the urge and desire to possess her. But at this moment, facing the beautiful Lispel, they are still alone in a small room, he
But there is no heart-warming desire or impulse.
Some are just a peaceful state of mind.
Ever since the conversation on the bow that day, there seemed to be a faint tacit understanding between him and Lispel.
Perhaps they both saw an inexplicable loneliness in each other. An unusually similar isolation and loneliness.
Although both of them have their own families and relatives, the feeling is the same.
In this world, there will always be someone who meets someone whose mood is very similar to his own. Such a person can easily understand most of your moods because he himself is the same.
This may be the case with the relationship between Angelet and Lispel.
"Perr, don't say such things again." Angelet broke the silence between the two.
Lispel didn't answer.
"Then, let me go out and take a look first." Angelet put on the hood of his gray robe and opened the door. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in with raindrops.
The door closed with a click.
Fine raindrops on the deck immediately fell on Angele. He tightened his robe tightly. The surface of his robe was already covered with a thin layer of metal. All the raindrops fell naturally and could not wet his clothes at all.
