The thunder-like light group was about the size of a person, with blue-white edges, like thunder and lightning. The light inside was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it!
The light group moved from the left side to the right side of the beam pole at the top of the main mast, and then moved from the right side back to the left side. At this time, a dozen sailors scooping water on the deck discovered the light group, and several of them pointed at it.
The group of light shouted excitedly: "Look! That's the Angel of Holy Light! Bless the Holy Lord, we are saved!"
They immediately knelt on the deck with one leg. The sailor wearing a hat took off his hat and kept drawing circles and crosses on his chest with one hand despite the storm.
Protect my body! Pray to the Holy Lord to guide my soul!..."
Steven and Kate looked at each other in surprise. Is this light group really the so-called Holy Light Angel?
Although you can't see its inside clearly, the way it moves on the beam pole does look like something conscious! Sometimes it pauses for a while, as if watching the praying sailors, and then starts moving again.
The speed is not very fast, almost as fast as a person walking.
A voice sounded next to her: "There has always been a legend of the Angel of Holy Light above the Five Seas! I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today!" Kate turned around and found Captain Langdon standing behind the two of them at some point. He was also looking up at the place.
Group of light.
Steven asked: "Won't the captain pray with them?"
Langdon shook his head and said: "I am no longer a believer of the Holy Lord of Glory! You must be surprised that there are followers of Holy Lord of Glory among the pirates?! They only believe in Holy Lord of Glory, but they are not believers of the Church. The Church of Glory claims to be
Representative of the Holy Lord, but some people don’t think so!”
Kate nodded and said: "No wonder they pray so devoutly when they see this light group!"
"Working and living in the ocean, the most dangerous place in the world, without devout faith is sometimes difficult to sustain!" Langdon said.
"According to the legend about the Angel of Holy Light across the Five Seas: This is a prophecy. His appearance indicates that the storm is about to end, so the sailors are so excited."
"Will the storm really end soon?" Steven was a little doubtful.
"Who knows?! We'll just wait and see." Langdon shook his head and said.
The light group moved on the beam pole for about a minute and then disappeared. The sailors on the deck stood up and continued busy scooping water, but their expressions were obviously different from before. They seemed to be full of hope and energy, no longer like
He had the same look of despair as before.
The two followed Langdon back to the cockpit. Langdon took over from Carl Black, who temporarily replaced him, and continued to drive the Twin Fin Shark. In the storm, the ship's course and wind direction must be kept consistent, otherwise the ship will capsize sooner or later. At this time, experience must be gained
A rich captain or first mate steers the ship, making constant corrections and maintaining the correct course.
After dinner the storm really started to subside!
The rotation sailors who came to the deck couldn't help cheering after listening to the previous sailor's description of the appearance of the Angel of Holy Light. They jumped on the deck in the accumulated water, regardless of the gradually decreasing but still falling water.
The rain was roaring, and some sailors knelt on the deck with one leg, made a circle and a cross on their chests, and began to pray.
After more than half an hour, the rain stopped!
Although the wind is still blowing, it has weakened significantly, and the previously turbulent waves have gradually calmed down.
All the water on the deck of the Twin Fin Shark had been removed. Langdon ordered the half-sail to be raised and began to steer the ship's sailing direction, turning to the north-east.
After a while, the wind continued to weaken, and Captain Langdon ordered all the sails to be hoisted. The sailors on the deck were busy happily. After a while, all the sails were hoisted. By this time, Langdon had given up the steering position.
He gave it to the first mate Vergang who came to take over.
The lookout sailor standing on the top of the mast loudly reported below: The clouds have all disappeared, and there are no wind and waves at all near and far on the sea!
But at this time, the Twin Fin Shark slowly and strangely stopped!
Steven looked at the navigation clock. It was almost 8 o'clock. He and Kate came to the deck and saw that although the mast was full of sails, there was no wind blowing on the sails!
The whole world seems to have stopped!
Looking up at the sky, the night sky is filled with stars, and the starlight reflects on the sea outside the ship's side. At this time, the sea is as calm as a mirror, without a trace of waves!
The sky is full of stars reflected in the sea, and it is impossible to distinguish between the sea and the starry sky!
Captain Langdon also came to the deck at this time. He looked at the stars, then walked to the side of the ship and looked at the sea. Then he walked into the forecastle and passed through the forecastle to the forward deck. Steven and Kate followed him.
come over.
Several people stood on the front deck and stared at the endless sea reflected by the stars, speechless.
After a while, Steven said softly: "It's so spectacular! Mr. Captain, have you ever seen such a scenery before?"
Langdon shook his head and said: "I have never seen the sea so calm! I have never even heard of the legend! But I think this phenomenon will not last long, so gentlemen, we can cherish this rare opportunity and appreciate it.
A beautiful spectacle!”
Steven nodded and said: "Mr. Langdon should take out your collection of Blue Mountain rum, and let Kate make some ice cubes. The mellow taste of the rum with ice cubes is worthy of this beautiful drink."
view!"
After Langdon heard this, he immediately walked into the captain's cabin. Later, he returned to the front deck carrying a bottle of rum and several glasses. Kate reached out and made a small ice cube on her fingertips and shook the ice cube into the glass.
Steven held a glass filled with ice cubes to catch the rum poured out of the bottle.
The three of them clinked glasses with ice and rum against each other.
Langdon said: "For the Twin Fin Shark to finally be out of danger! Spend a safe year!"
"For the storm to finally subside and the sea to be no longer dangerous!" Kate said.
"For this spectacular and beautiful scenery! Maybe we will never see each other again for the rest of our lives!" Steven said.
"Cheers!" the three of them said together, and then several people raised their glasses and drank all the wine in the glasses.
The three of them were watching the scenery on the front deck and drinking Langdon's collection of Blue Mountain rum. The sailors on the deck also became quiet at this time, looking at the mirror-smooth sea and the stars reflected in the sea on the side of the ship.
.
After an unknown amount of time, the lookout sailor at the top of the mast shouted to the deck below: "Look what's under the sea?! They're rising!"
At this time, in addition to the dim light reflected by the stars, countless bluish light clusters began to rise in the sea!
These countless light groups were like lanterns, slowly emerging from the dark deep sea. Soon, the sea surface around the Twin Fin Shark was filled with dense light groups. They replaced the starlight and illuminated the sea surface even brighter!
