Chapter 254 Eyes in the Wave
“Go to the cabin and plug that hole, or we’ll all die here!”
The first mate gave the order with red eyes and gritted teeth. His bloodshot eyes were still staring at the whale that had begun to dive quickly. The rope at the end of the whaling fork was firmly tied to the pair On the stout mainmast of a sailing ship.
Until this time, he had not given up hunting the white giant whale.
The rope “whiz whiz whiz” quickly shortened
“Be careful, hold on to the hull!” The chief mate reminded the crew of the coming impact.
Next moment, the whole sailboat was pulled fiercely by a huge force.
It tilted almost 45 degrees to the left. Fortunately, the barrels of whale oil at the bottom of the cabin perfectly acted as ballast counterweights, so that the whaling ship did not directly roll over.
However, before Fisher was happy, he heard a loud ka-cha in his ears.
The main mast of the “Harpoon” was pulled off!
The last piece of rope attached to it, as it should be by rights, was dragged into the water, and the giant white whale that broke the main mast of the sailboat, regained “freedom” with its whaling fork.
Moo–
At this point, the faces of the whalers’ sailors were miserable.
A whaling ship that loses its main mast loses most of its power, and will this mad whale give itself a chance to repair the mast?
Without keeping them waiting, the giant whale quickly gave his answer.
The water beneath the boat rolled violently and roared, rushing to the sides along the side of the boat.
It seems that even they have consciousness, have foreseen the imminent danger, and desperately run away from the whaler.
The giant whale, which has already dived deep into the water, began to accelerate from the depth of several hundred meters, and the strong body moved the current, but the giant beast of more than 200 tons seemed to be off the string. The arrow rushed to the bottom of the “Harpoon”!
The enormous amount of water above it was easily pushed away without any hindrance to it.
Next second.
Boom!
With the explosion-like roar, the sailors on the boat were blown away by the irresistible majestic force in an instant, whether they grasped the sailboat or not.
“Ah!”
“Help—!”
And the first “Harpoon” was directly knocked off the keel, and a giant whale After the tail flicked, it broke in two and overturned.
In an instant, all the income from going to sea for a year has vanished!
However, sailors who accidentally survived the collision should worry not about a year’s harvest, but their own lives.
A whaler emerges from the water and struggles to swim to a nearby broken board.
But before his fingertips could touch the wooden board, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth was biting down behind him!
“Ah—!”
The screams of horror came to an abrupt end.
Unknown species of white giant whales are obviously much heavier in revenge than ordinary animals. Even sailors who have fallen into the water with unpredictable future life and death are caught up by it one after another and directly bite to death!
When the Horn of the Storm to the Kingdom of Tayro passed through here.
This is the scene of such a bloody massacre!
There is still quite a distance, and the entire group that noticed the movement at sea has gathered to the bow.
“This seems to be a ferocious creature!
It’s really unfortunate that the whaler has encountered an opponent that it can’t resist.
Just I wonder if this big white whale has achieved stable reproduction and become a new group of demonized creatures?”
Milan’s bad luck seems to be over in a few days. The mental state is obviously much better than before, at least he has recovered from the shadow of “Angel Comes”.
Certainly not someone who is more unlucky than himself, taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune, just saying his own guesses to himself.
“This may not be a coincidence.”
Next to him was Ambrose, still in full armor, frowned opened the mouth and said.
In fact, the seabirds in Alwin, dozens of kilometers away, have already sent back images of whalers’ activity here.
But the Cape Storm was already sailing at full speed, and even if Alwin wanted to save the whalers, he couldn’t help it.
At this time, when he heard that Ambrose seemed to know some secrets, he couldn’t help but wonder: “Is there anything weird here?”
Ambrose didn’t hide it on purpose. It is the internal information of the church, but it does not involve secrets that belong to the church, and it is not within the scope of confidentiality.
“This Sea Territory is called the Sea of Athrid, and it is also the favored place of the ancient Black Sea god Hipponoi”
The Sea Territory of Atreid is located throughout the Black Sea. Some are special, the climate is very good, and the fishery resources are very rich.
And it does not belong to the area controlled by any modern state. Fishing boats from all countries can travel freely. It should be a very famous fishing ground.
On the contrary, very few fishing boats dare to come here to fish.
Legend.
This is actually the homeland of the ancient temperamental Black Sea Goddess Hipponoah, sheltered by his divine power to enjoy peace and abundance forever.
But because of the evil deeds committed by the inhabitants (mainly fishermen) who lived here against Spiritual God (see chapter 239 Sea Demoness for details), this Sea Territory was blessed at the same time, but also the same be damned!
Any act of fishing here will offend Goddess, and the end result, without exception, will be buried in the sea and eaten by fish!
Therefore, the residents living in the vicinity will never fish in this Sea Territory, no matter how hungry they are.
Only desperate gamblers and foreign speculators with only whale oil in their eyes will risk their lives to challenge the authenticity of ancient legends.
Of course, from what they look like now, they obviously lost the bet
“It’s just that people don’t think that although this ancient sea god has been sealed, he still has the most power to maintain the curse. Bottom line power.”
Ambrose told Alwin and the others the past and legends of Hai Demoness recorded in the church’s ancient dossier.
His origins, eight hundred years of sinking into the Black Sea, and until it was sealed more than three hundred years ago, did the present age of great voyages come!
“For the former Black Sea Poseidon.
Having suffered such a tragic past, there is indeed reason for any revenge action.
It just blocked the path of human development in the end.”
Although several listeners sympathized with the experience of the ancient sea god Hipponoi, from the standpoint of human beings, if they were decision makers, they would On that day years ago, the same decision must have been made!
Just witnessing this Myths and Legends-like story with my own eyes, for Alwin, who, apart from Ilya and Pharretis, even The country bumpkin, which has never been out in the country, is really novel.
Strictly speaking.
This transnational mission is the first step for Alwin to walk out of the bathtub in front of his house, and there are too many mysterious people waiting in this magnificent and magical sea like the Sea of Atreid. he.
Speaking of time, “Storm Horn” has approached the Sea Territory where the “tragedy” just happened.
While Alwin was hesitating to intervene in what could be a punishment from the gods, he may have realized that the battleship was not to be trifled with.
Moo——
After a long neigh, the white giant whale that saw that the situation was far from good had plunged into the water and was disappeared.
In the end, all the remaining survivors were spared.
Well, it’s more accurate to say only two people.
One is the first mate Fisher, who suffered a major blow and lost his companions, relatives and friends, and his career with empty eyes.
The other is Peeps, the bad gambler who kept shouting incoherently, “Forgiveness! Hipponoah! Greatness! Goddess!”
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Alwin was no longer interested in questioning.
No matter why they came to this blessed and cursed Sea Territory to hunt for whales, they have nothing to do with them, they waved their hands and said in a gloomy voice:
“Give it to me.” Prepare a place for the two of them to live, and let them off the boat when they get to Nisk!”
Alwin’s words lightened Fisher’s eyes a little.
The former first mate seemed to realize that he was saved now, and bowed slowly and deeply in Alwin’s direction before following the sailor away like a marionette.
The “Cape Storm” set sail again and continued to advance towards the Kingdom of Taro.
The Yatrid Sea has also returned to its former serenity and peace.
Just a long time later.
Amid the surging waves, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes suddenly opened among the snow-white waves, looking towards the direction of the departure of the “Storm Horn”, which is also the direction of the Taro Kingdom, cold and ruthless!
The rest of the trip was uneventful.
Alwin spends most of his time studying and researching at the apprenticeship stage in a specially remodeled laboratory on board.
Occasionally come out and interact with Milan and the others, fishing, practicing swordsmanship, and occasionally when the mood comes, I will also show off my cooking skills in person.
Take the sword technique as an example.
Even among the most basic sailors, three lucky ones get the captain’s sword technique every week.
And thanks to Alwin’s extensive practice “potions” during this period, he often took out a few bottles as a reward for outstanding performers.
Some newcomers who have just joined “Cape Storm” were surprised to find out:
The crew qualifications on “Cape Storm” , the most valuable may not be a bright future, but an opportunity that may make them truly extraordinary!
This is normally something they wouldn’t even think about before they became full officers.
The already very positive attitude and cohesion have once again risen to an unprecedented high.
Alwin’s most intuitive feeling is the crew on the ship, not only none of them are as sneaky and slippery as they are on other ships.
It’s even more like a chicken blood, mobilizing all of his own subjective initiative, so that Alwin’s command of this battleship is like an arm, as if alive.
This situation is also easy to understand, no matter which world employee’s thinking is simple: “Don’t talk to me about ideals, my ideal is not to go to work, so we only talk about money!”
So Alwin never talks to his crew about ideals (well, occasional mental interference doesn’t count).
Alwin concluded that every captain has his own command style.
Some people turn every crew member into a part of the machine, which is simple and efficient; some people boldly delegate power and let professional talents give full play to their roles.
And Alwin naturally has it.
Abundant spills of war distribution, sword technique guidance, personal rewards (pharmaceuticals, etc.) are the strongest management methods that belong to him!
