The Lost Sea,
The sky was so bright that there was hardly a trace of clouds visible, and the sun's rays were particularly bright, shining directly on the Dragon-class battleship Svaros, the huge hull broke through the oncoming waves, and drenched the sailors who were standing on the bow of the ship, and the surging waves rolled with white foam, and from a distance it looked like a long white line that jumped forward,
Two Dragon's Tooth warships were guarding the sides of the Dragon-class battleships, and the three Salander warships responsible for replenishment sailed on the surface of the sea in the wind and waves, and the fierce sea breeze swept across the deck. Of the six large warships, even the smaller Dragon's Tooth was refitted, moving slowly in the wind and waves, with its sharp bow often submerged in the waves, and then pierced out like an arrow, and the deck was full of seawater.
“...... Logbook, Day 11 ......"
"The voyage is quite stable, there are still 21 days of supplies in stock, the crew is basically stable, the Yade and Cangxin dragon teeth ships have slight signs of flooding, and no fatal damage has been found for the time being...... According to preliminary calculations, the 3rd Squadron caused a total of one transport fleet to be destroyed on the port side and 2 sailors were missing...... No earth damage was found on the Dragon's Tooth battleship......"
The commander of the Third Fleet of the Falcon Empire, Egfinger, put down the quill pen in his hand, slowly closed the logbook, stood up and locked it in the iron cabinet behind him.
Stephenger's Third Squadron had been sailing in the intended direction for 11 days from the time of the assignment from the naval headquarters, and because of the harsh conditions at sea and the extremely humid mist that permeated the Lost Sea, the sailors of the fleet had some symptoms of fever, which was due to the cold of the night caused by the excessive humidity of the cabin, and Smith Finger had ordered the fleet to lay dry planks on the deck where the cabin rested, so that this widespread fever could finally be relieved
Si Finger touched his forehead, which was a little feverish, and walked to the outside deck with his hand, letting the sea breeze blow his body.
The name of the Sea of Lost is indeed mysterious, and it is likely that the sun was shining just now, and immediately it was almost impossible to see the fog ahead. If it weren't for the compass in his hand, even an experienced captain like Peer would have chosen to turn the bow of the ship in a panic and look for a way out in other directions. It is not difficult to explain why the two continents are not very far apart, but they have rarely interacted for more than a thousand years.
It is said that the ancestors of the Nord people crossed the mysterious ocean and were guided by a leaf to the continent of Ikadiva, and now it seems that the legendary mysterious sea should be the lost sea in front of you. As for the leaves, I don't know what they are, the myths of the Bads are always very pretentious, the so-called leaf may really be a leaf, or it may refer to some tool that guides them in the direction, no one is sure, there is no such thing as a compass in the continent of Obarro
Si Finger slumped limply over the railing at the edge of the deck, looking at the water that kept sliding past the side of the ship, he didn't need to look at the gauges, he only needed to look at the traces of the flow of the water, he knew that the speed of the fleet should be about 18 knots now, in the case of almost no strong winds. This speed should be not bad
In a daze, Stephen saw a figure walking towards him, and his dark and thin figure let him know that it was the ship's first mate, Antoru. Seeing the other party's lively appearance, Si Ai Finger was a little envious,
"My lord, you will get dehydrated if you sun shine like this!" Looking at the captain Si Finger who was lying on the deck with a pale face, the first mate Antoru brought a basin of clean water and poured it on him, and the cold made the somewhat sun-drenched Si Finger shiver and sober up a little...,
"Stupid, I have a cold, you actually watered me!" Si Egfinger looked at the first mate weakly, and said indignantly.
"Your Excellency. If I had to choose to dry my body here, or to get wet to make my cold worse, I'd rather choose to drench myself!" Antoru's innocent expression made Stephen really lose his temper, this guy in front of him was an old sailor with nearly 15 years of sea experience, and he had never been off the ship since he was 12 years old. The port and the ship are his home,
This guy is a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant guy by nature, not afraid of sea water, not afraid of the sun.
Silveregger, on the other hand, felt as if his head was going to explode at any moment due to the heat, and it was only early summer, but why was the sun still so fierce? It was inexplicable. The strange natural phenomena of the Lost Sea were simply inexplicable, and perhaps this was the most basic reason why the Obaros were so afraid of the Lost Sea.
"My lord, is your cold better?" Antoru, the first mate who had just hoisted a tail hook fish from the sea, asked heartlessly, while leisurely pulling the fish's straight fishing line.
"Nope." Si Finger said dejectedly, feeling even more weak.
"My lord, how long will it be before we can cross this place!" Antoru sighed, his eyes a little confused, looking at the fish on the hook, and then at Stephen lying on the deck, and did not speak.
"I don't know, maybe a few days, maybe I will never be able to get out!" Si Edenger said a little confused, although as the commander of the fleet, he should not be so depressed, except for Antoru, who is a pervert, most of the rest of the people are sick, and some people who have never been seasick now often feel dizzy and nauseous
When the ship was bumpy, he had to vomit incessantly, almost all the yellow bile, and Stephen sometimes looked at them vomiting, and was really worried that they would vomit all their internal organs
"It seems that the adults have no bottom in their hearts!" The first mate, Antoru, showed his big white teeth and unexpectedly threw the tail hook fish in his hand back into the sea
"Why did you throw it away again?" Si Alpha watched with some puzzlement as the fish fell into the sea with an arc, and the tail fluttered a touch of waves, this is not like the character of the first mate Antorou, this guy not only likes life at sea, but also has a hobby of eating raw fish, likes to cut the fish into thin fillets and eat raw, and it is also called "delicious"
"This is a tail hook fish...... "First mate Antoru patted the aquatic plants on his hand and said with a smile, "This kind of fish can't be eaten, because the tail is like a barb, so it is also called leaf tail fish, they are extremely sacred in the eyes of us old sailors, and have saved many lives, because only in the offshore areas of islands or continents, there will be the existence of this kind of fish, that is, we are about to see the land!"
"Leaftail fish, leaves, leaves!" Swift Finger suddenly jumped up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he suddenly realized that he had touched the truth of that myth hundreds of years ago, his eyes were fixed on the location of the fish just now, and there was a huge wave in his heart, the leaftail fish that would only be found near the mainland, was this the secret that guided the Nords through the lost sea?
The rapid whistle on the lookout post woke up Swift Finger and everyone on board.
There is a discovery!
Smith Finger walked to the deck in three steps and two steps, and looked over the direction of the lookout post. It was just afternoon, and the visibility was good.
In the sunlight, he could faintly see a blurred horizon slowly unfolding in his field of vision. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
