Above the endless Twin Seas, a huge wooden three-masted sailboat was sailing on the calm sea.
The ship was obviously a cargo ship because its deck was filled with a large number of wooden boxes covered tightly with tarpaulins.
However, this kind of cargo ship occasionally transports people - as long as you have enough golden coins in your hand, it is not a problem to ask the captain to temporarily build you a luxurious apartment on the ship.
Of course, Xue Hua and Kane do not have such luxury. Although they can indeed afford the price, it is not necessary, right?
The total voyage from King's Harbor to the foreign trade terminal at the northernmost tip of the Haworth Islands takes about half a month. Of course, this means that there are no big waves, sea fog and deadly deep-sea monsters.
Condition.
The Twin Sea is not as calm and docile as the Nobile Inland Sea. It fully brings out the moody characteristics of the sea to the extreme.
The terrifying violent storms are enough to capsize any giant ship, and the sudden appearance of mist from time to time will also make ships that accidentally enter it become lost. It is said that if they stay in the mist for a long time, everyone on the ship will eventually be brought into the mist.
This is a legend that has been circulating among the local sailors in Port King.
However, compared to these two, the threat of deep sea monsters seems more real and terrifying.
Strong winds and huge waves can be predicted and avoided by a good navigator in advance, and there are always traces to follow before the fog comes.
But those terrifying monsters from the abyss of the sea will never give you the slightest chance to notice.
Some huge deep-sea monsters can even swallow an entire large cargo ship!
They move quickly and silently, often launching attacks directly from beneath ships.
Shipwrecks caused by deep-sea monsters are always the most tragic, because their appearance is often accompanied by a large number of scavenging fish.
These sharp-tongued little monsters will completely cut off the last chance of survival for shipwreck survivors. Under their pursuit and interception, it is basically impossible for you to swim back to the coast alive.
Fortunately, the cargo ship that Xue Hua and the others boarded would not go deep into the depths of the Twin Seas. In the waters north of the Haworth Islands, deep-sea monsters are still relatively rare.
The freighter will first go to Saltera for the first round of trading, and then head to the main island of the Haworth Islands.
As long as the Twin Seas don't oppose them, Xue Hua will be able to see the two little animals he thinks about day and night in half a month.
"Okay, Mist Girl bless you... This is my first time sincerely praying to God~"
Xue Hua clasped his hands together and threw a gold coin along the side of the ship into the sea.
This is what the superstitious sailors in King's Harbor often do before setting sail - pay tithes.
He had never believed that the legendary "Misty Lady" was real before, but at least at this time, Xue Hua still hoped that she really existed and would answer his prayers...
"What are you doing?" Kane, who was standing nearby, was stunned by Xue Hua's action. Of course he knew what throwing gold coins into the sea meant, but the problem was that Lady of the Mist was an illusory god. She and Hoover
Just like the Storm Goddess believed by the Amazon tribes on the Si Islands, it is only a totem belief and not a real god.
Pay taxes to her?
Can I get a response?
"Um...ahem, it's nothing, please have peace of mind, please have peace of mind..."
"You..." Kane rolled his eyes, shook his head helplessly and walked away.
Xue Hua's behavior sometimes made him a little confused.
Kane always feels like he knows a lot of things, but sometimes this kid acts extremely childish...
"..." Xue Hua scratched his head and suddenly felt that his behavior just now was indeed quite stupid...
If paying tithes is really effective, then why are there so many shipwrecks on the Twin Seas every year?
Well, forget it, isn’t it just a gold coin?
Just as if your hand slipped into the sea...
However, before Xue Hua could finish consoling himself, he heard the observer on the mast shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Five kilometers ahead! There are storm clouds! All irrelevant deck personnel! Return to the cabin immediately!"
At the same time, a trace of moist rain vapor also drifted over along with the sea breeze.
"Grass!!"
Xue Hua cursed loudly and pointed his middle finger at the sea with a very ugly face.
"Mist Girl! Even if you really exist, you are definitely a Bichi!"
He cursed and rushed into the room, closed the door, and pressed himself firmly onto the hammock, preparing to face the raging storm.
Storms at sea always move very fast, so just five minutes later, the sound of crackling raindrops hitting the ship's deck was heard outside the cabin.
At the same time, the entire cabin began to shake violently, and streams of rainwater poured into the cabin along the cracks in the door, adding a damp atmosphere to the already dark cabin.
"Damn it! If I had known earlier, I should have just used the King Insect..."
Xue Hua regretfully grabbed the wooden board next to the hammock. The violent shaking of the boat made him feel dizzy.
Before the trip, Isa originally suggested that he directly use the king insect to fly across the Twin Seas. He thought sailing should be fun, so he committed this tragic death.
What's more, the Storm Queen told him in the letter that the promotion ceremony of the two little girls happened to be in half a month, and before the promotion ceremony ended, in order to allow the people participating in the ceremony to adjust their physical and mental conditions to the best, all
No one can see them.
If he travels through King Insect, he can indeed shorten a lot of time, but there is nothing to do if he arrives at the Haworth Islands in advance, so Xue Hua decided to take a boat to "visit" the "scenery" of the Twin Seas.
As a result, the scenery was indeed visited, but it was not as beautiful as he imagined.
Especially that damn "Mist Girl", who turned her back and refused to recognize anyone after receiving the money.
Their behavior is simply more ruthless and ruthless than the worst bandits in the Aranok Desert...
The storm outside the cabin was still raging crazily, interspersed with rumbling thunder and thunder.
Xue Hua raised his head and hung himself on the wooden grille on the top of the hammock, helplessly looking at the various small objects that were clanking and rolling around on the floor of the cabin.
Just as he was scolding the "Mist Girl" for her actions like a pool of water in his heart, the horrified shouts of the sailors suddenly sounded outside the cabin.
"Oh my God! What the hell is that?!"
"The mist girl is on top..."
"It's coming towards us!"
"Weird...monster!!!"
The horrified shouts grew louder and louder, even overpowering the roar of the wind and rain. Xue Hua heard panicked footsteps all over the deck of the ship, and even a huge thud of something heavy falling from the side of the ship into the water.
.
What happened?
What monster?
Xue Hua frowned and connected to the main hive mind in confusion, then shifted his vision to a supervisory king insect following his actions.
Through the vision of the monitoring king insect, Xue Hua saw a huge black shadow on the sea covered by black clouds.
This shadow has a human-like body shape, but has six arms on its upper body.
And this huge shadow is hundreds of meters high. Its legs are submerged in the sea water. It is tearing through the wind and rain with big strides and slowly walking towards the cargo ship where Xue Hua is! (To be continued)
