On the deep ocean, a three-masted sailing ship was swaying in the violent storm.
Dong dong dong——
Sailors ran quickly on the wooden stairs, holding boards and other various tools in their hands.
Colin took the lead and walked in front.
The thick cabin reduces the sound of the violent storm outside, and also makes the sound of surging water coming from somewhere inside the cabin clearer.
With such a noise, the damage must be quite large.
The sailors looked panicked and ugly.
The biggest fear at sea is that the cabin is damaged, not to mention that it is still a stormy time.
If it weren't for the still calm figure of the wizard in front, they might have fallen into panic and despair.
"Hurry up!"
Lear followed Colin with all his strength, and at the same time urged the sailors behind him to follow quickly.
Go down the stairs and pass the first and second floors.
Colin led them to the bottom cabin without stopping.
Wow.
As soon as he walked down the stairs and stepped onto the ground, Colin's heart suddenly sank.
The water here has actually reached the depth of your ankles!
Buzz——
Use the light spell to illuminate the surroundings so that the sailors behind you can see clearly.
He continued to run forward and came to the confinement room at the end of the corridor!
The moment he heard the clicking sound, his first reaction was that this was where the insomniac sailors were imprisoned.
Open the hatch!
Wow!
Calf-deep cold water mixed with the fishy smell of the sea washed towards him.
"Sir, what is this?!"
Lear also ran closer at this time, looking at the confinement cabin with a look of astonishment on his face!
None of the insomniac sailors who were originally locked in the confinement cabin was missing!
Only a few large holes that were torn open by violence through the stubble were left!
At this moment, turbulent sea water is constantly pouring in!
"What are you still doing?"
Whoosh!
The pale blue light spread, and Colin shouted while holding the Scepter of Folly and using a force field to block the big hole.
"Yes!" Lear and other sailors stepped forward one after another.
Corks, planks, wooden pillars, sheets...
Sealing leaks in ship cabins is a compulsory course for sailors like them.
Now with Colin's help, seawater no longer flows into those holes, and without the interference of water flow, it is even easier for them to plug the leaks.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Hey!
The sailors were working enthusiastically.
Not long after.
Then all the big holes were roughly filled.
Although there is still a small influx of sea water, it does not pose much of a threat.
Seeing this, the sailors cheered!
This was originally a crisis of shipwreck and destruction, but it was easily resolved with the power of the wizard!
"Don't be too happy too early, scoop up water quickly!"
After a while, Lille who was standing aside put away his joyful expression and continued urging.
The accumulated water in the cabin cannot dissipate naturally. It can only be removed manually by scooping up buckets and moving them out.
While they were scooping water, Colin walked to the holes in the cabin and looked carefully.
At this moment, the holes have been blocked by wooden boards and other things, blocking many details.
But judging from the shape and size, it was most likely the work of seven sailors.
Colin rubbed the scepter in his hand with a solemn expression.
The walls of the three-masted sailing ship are hard and thick, and at least an intermediate knight is required to be equipped with a handy heavy weapon to cause greater damage.
To create such a huge hole in front of you, you must at least be a great knight with a weighted weapon.
But those sailors are just ordinary people...
It was still raining outside, the ship was rocking, and the sailors were carrying small buckets back and forth to scoop out water.
The water in the bottom tank that was originally as deep as the ankles is gradually receding due to the unremitting efforts of the sailors.
Apart from thin mats on the ground and a few large buckets for convenience, there are no other items in the solitary room.
Nowadays, those large barrels have been washed away, but the thin mats remain in place.
Colin leaned down and glanced at the thin mat floating on the water.
Soon, he paused slightly.
To the right in the middle of the thin mat, a half-moon-shaped black fish scale is reflecting light.
Colin reached out and picked it up. The scales were about two thumbs in size and looked very fresh. They must have just fallen off.
'Half-moon-shaped fish scales, holes in the ship wall torn apart by violence, disappearing insomniac sailors...'
'Either some unknown and ferocious fish-scale monster broke through the cabin and turned all the sleepless sailors into dinner.'
'Either...the sleepless sailors mutated into monsters covered with black scales.'
Colin rubbed his black scales and speculated secretly.
Then, he frowned slightly, held the half-moon-shaped black scale in front of him, and observed it carefully.
'What exactly is this black scale...?'
After a while, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked towards the captain's cabin.
"grown ups."
When we stepped onto the deck, it was still storming outside.
Lear was coming towards him carrying a keg and greeted him respectfully.
He nodded slightly and continued walking towards the captain's cabin.
The wind and rain were blocked by the defensive force field and could not wet his witch robe at all.
Lille looked at this scene with a look of envy flashing in his eyes.
In this world, no one wants to become a wizard.
Click!
Blue and white lightning flashed across the sky, temporarily illuminating the entire world.
'That is?!'
Suddenly, Lille's pupils shrank, he rubbed his eyes, and looked at the sea next to the boat again.
But the light brought by lightning is fleeting.
Now the world has returned to darkness.
Lear shook his head, carried the small bucket, and walked towards the bottom cabin.
'Maybe a few big fish.'
He recalled the few scaly black figures he had just glimpsed in the rough waves, and secretly speculated.
…
The wind and rain gradually subsided in the second half of the night.
There didn't seem to be much water in the bottom hold, but it wasn't until daybreak that the sailors completely scooped out the water and reinforced the entire damaged hole.
After doing this, they all collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
But the dawn has risen, and it is necessary to raise the sail again, otherwise the progress will be delayed.
So under the urging of Captain Lear, they cheered up and continued working.
It is now the seventh day of the voyage, and if nothing goes wrong, they will arrive at Bananca Island this afternoon.
Whatever the reason, they just want to get back to land as soon as possible.
Although the insomniac sailor companion has disappeared, no one would be stupid enough to think that the strange insomnia symptoms would disappear.
They are still on the dangerous sea, and only by returning to solid land can they regain a sense of security.
On the other side, the captain's room.
Colin put away the crystal ball of knowledge, still a little confused on his face.
There are still too many unknowns in the sea.
However, after careful consideration, combined with the half-moon-shaped black scales picked up last night, it can be judged...
Most of those sailors had high levels of inspiration and were contaminated in some way.
Now, most of them have turned into alienated monsters...
Colin sighed secretly.
Time passed quietly.
Maybe it’s the good weather after the storm.
The three-masted sailing ship then sailed with the wind and its speed was very fast.
So, after a whole morning of traveling with a favorable wind.
In front of them, a dark shadow gradually appeared——
