Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 118: Summon
Tens of thousands of scout bees are flying fast in the sky.
They are covered with light-colored scales that blend in with the color of the sky and fly in the clouds.
Under the surface of the ocean, a larger number of soldier bees, disguised as common fish, swim around,
Occasionally, soldiers jump out of the water, grab the wood and planks floating on the water, and sink into the sea.
This area of water has indeed been sailed by sailboats recently,
The surface and bottom of the water contain fragments of wooden crates and ceramic fragments that appear to have been left behind by a freighter ship.
However, the exact state of the merchant ships is uncertain.
"A circle of thunderstorms and winds surrounds the initial island,
Beyond the thunderstorm ring, there is a windless zone,
There has been a slight or still wind blowing, the sea level is stable, and the flow of the sea water has slowed down.
For marine life, the windless area is naturally not a problem,
However, for an ancient sailing vehicle such as a mast sailboat, entering the windless zone is more troublesome. "
Li Ang thought silently,
In the real world, the latitude of 5°N and 30°～35°N near the equator in the real world is historically known as the horse latitude, which is another name for the windless zone.
The specific statement is that the area is a high pressure and windless belt,
Sailboats trapped in the calm zone cannot rely on the wind to sail, but are stuck in place, waiting for ocean currents or intermittent breezes,
After a long time, the water storage on the ship is insufficient, and the sailors are given priority. The horses on the ship will die due to lack of water and be thrown into the sea, so it is called "the area full of corpses of horses".
"Did this ship inadvertently enter the windless belt, or did they have a clear purpose and the confidence and ability to cross the windless belt?"
Just as Li Ang was thinking about it, the scout soldiers found something strange again, and a strong scent of blood and water floated from the sea ahead.
————
This is a large four-masted sailboat. The wooden hull is painted with water-resistant and corrosion-resistant brown paint on both sides. The mast canvas is white and beautiful, and even reflects the texture of fish scales under the sunlight.
These canvases used on sailboats are indeed biological materials,
They are the skin of a giant white bear that inhabits the Caravel Mountains. The giant bear can grow to a maximum of seven meters and is located at the top of the ecological niche of the mountains and forests.
The skin can be divided into three layers. The outermost layer is tough, light and water resistant. It is the best canvas material. Only a few boats are eligible to buy and use it every year.
The ship, the Atoka, is one of them.
The Atoka originally belonged to the Goode Navigation Company under the name of the Duke of Atoka,
A year ago, the former Duke of Atoka, Roy Goode, was charged with treason and most of his property was confiscated and nationalized,
His younger brother, Edward Goode, took over the remainder of his brother's estate,
Leaving only a four-masted sailboat for the nephew as a preferential treatment for noble relatives-according to the current nobility rules, the children of split families who fail in the struggle for property will usually carry a severance payment and go to the new world by boat ,
Nominally to open up new industries for the family,
It's actually going to the new world to fend for itself.
At this moment, the deck of the Atoka is full of sailors.
These sailors look a little scruffy,
They exuded the body odor brewed from not taking a bath for a long time, and there were greasy yellow marks on the top of the clothes.
A messy beard and bloodshot eyes.
Johnson Goode stood in front of the sailor,
A year ago, he was the only son of the Duke of Goode. He inherited the blond hair and handsome looks inherited from his ancestors. He was of noble birth and received the best aristocratic education. He was engaged to the daughter of another Duke of the Empire. , is the leader of the younger generation of the Empire.
However, an accident shattered your son's life trajectory,
His father was convicted of treason, with solid evidence, and went to jail,
He and his mother were kicked out of the castle that the family had inherited for more than 200 years and lived on the streets. They had to sell their jewelry and rent a hotel.
His engagement partner, the princess, also lithely sent a letter of repentance, with a thousand pounds cheque tucked in it to pay for the repentance.
And his uncle, Edward Goode, who was known by his elders to be ruthless and rogue, relied on his good personal relationship with the imperial bishop.
Retaining the remaining property of the Goode family,
From a split family without inheritance rights, he became the leader of the Goode family.
Although the title of Duke of Atoka is still being held in the Imperial Archives due to many matters of treason, it is estimated that it will not be long before Edward Goode will officially become the new Duke of Atoka and continue to continue Goode family.
"Call..."
Thinking of this, Jonson Goode couldn't help taking a deep breath. His face was thin, his hair and beard were messy, and he couldn't see the appearance of the blond and noble man back then.
He endured great humiliation and cashed the thousand-pound check in the repentance paper,
Use the money to hire seafarers, buy goods,
Using the only possession on hand, the sailing ship Atoka, slowly amassing wealth by engaging in the shipping trade between the New and Old Worlds.
He wants to take back everything he took from his uncle,
Family honor, company property, personal reputation...
And even, the truth about my father's treason.
Johnson Goode silently clenched his fists and looked straight ahead.
At the bow of the sailing ship Atoka, there is a wooden statue of the goddess of the sea, which is used by the sailing ships to pray for safety.
The captain of the Atoka, a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s with a beard and a dark complexion, ordered his crew to pull a horse out of the cabin.
The horse is one of the merchant marine cargo, with a blindfold on its face and a cloth tied around its feet to keep it from running around.
Zheng——
The captain pulled out the machete around his waist. The pack horse seemed to feel an ominous aura, pedaling uneasy, but was firmly held down by the strong sailors on both sides, unable to move.
Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the sailors, the captain recited aloud the incantation for the goddess of the sea, raised his sword and cut off the horse's head.
A streak of blood splashed from the horse's stump and sprinkled on the bow statue,
A large amount of blood water fell along the statue and fell into the sea, and the blush slowly spread in the windless water.
The headless horse twitched a few times,
The sailors on both sides squeezed the corpse of the horse. After all the blood had been squeezed out, the corpse was thrown into the ocean.
"...how long will it take."
Johnson Goode took a step forward and asked in a low voice beside the captain.
"Half an hour if nothing goes wrong."
The captain wiped the blood on the machete with a cloth and replied softly, "If this ritual fails to summon the deep sea beasts and carry us out of the windless belt,
You have to wait for half a month before re-doing the ritual. "
Half a month...
Jonson Goode, who has been traveling with the boat for a year as the owner of the boat, is silent,
A month ago, the sailboat Atoka strayed into a windless area due to a storm and tsunami and was trapped here.
They are almost running out of fresh water supplies on the ship, let alone another half a month, just a week, and some of the sailors below may go crazy and mutiny.
Imperial ships are not without means to withstand sudden disasters, whether it is a magic scroll that can release a gust of wind out of thin air, or a magic ball that can filter seawater into fresh water,
In the past, Goode Navigation had them all, and they were able to solve the current predicament.
But those things ~IndoMTL.com~ were also taken away by his uncle, leaving only an empty ship.
Right now, I can only pray that this exotic captain hired at a high price can really do what he said,
Able to summon deep sea monsters through special rituals,
Let the behemoth of the deep carry the ship through the windless belt.
Johnson Goode drew a hexagram-shaped pattern on his chest, silently praying to the goddess in the dark,
The mission of reviving the family has not been completed, and the grievances of the father have not been washed away,
The princess who repented of her marriage, the uncle who took away his property, the so-called friend who fell into trouble,
He wants to take back everything he should have...
Just as Jonson Good was immersed in the imagination of thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, not bullying the young and poor, the **** sea suddenly boiled,
