Chapter 33 Maybe
The celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents of the Great Channel are in chaos.
In such a difficult sailing environment, having a good boat is a prerequisite for life.
You know, human beings are no match for nature.
Especially in this extremely dangerous sea area, once the ship sinks, it is basically declared dead.
Moreover, the intuitive area of the sea area of the great channel is far less than that of the four seas. Macroscopically, it is like a strip of cloth that circles around the planet.
Therefore, in such a long and narrow sea area, the chance of encountering ships will be greatly improved, and each encounter may evolve into an extremely avoidable naval battle.
In this kind of environment, Maude, the mast ship that was robbed from the East China Sea and only carried two mobile artillery pieces, is estimated to retire if it can't run very far.
In order to change to a reliable and good ship as soon as possible, Maud quickly made a decision.
Kurokas smiled and looked at Maud, and said, "The only place where you can choose a route is the starting point here. Did you make a decision so quickly?"
"Um."
Maud nodded and said calmly: "It is difficult for our mast ship to withstand the fickle climate of the Great Channel, so changing ships as soon as possible is the highest priority at present."
"Too."
Kurokas raised his glass and took a sip, saying:
"Those rookie pirates who have entered the great waterway from the four seas basically have this consideration, which also means that there are not a few pirates who choose the route of Leviathan Island. You must be mentally prepared."
"Isn't there a few..."
Maud's eyes gleamed with luster, and said seriously: "Very good, I have one more reason to choose this route."
"Oh?"
Kurokas looked at Maud in surprise.
Facing the strange gaze of Krokas, Maud smiled and said: "There are more people than the challenge."
"Ha ha."
Kurokas raised his head and smiled.
How could he know the reason why Maud likes a lot of people.
Subsequently,
Maud again asked Kurokas many questions about Leviathan.
It's a pity that Krokas doesn't know much, but after all, he has obtained a lot of useful information.
The first island on this route was called the Twin Isles, the same name as the Twin Capes guarded by Kurokas.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Kurokas knew this route better.
The next island to pass from the Twin Islands is Leviathan, where the Thomas Shipyard is located.
According to Kurokas, on the way from Twin Isles to Leviathan, one must pass through the territory where the shoals of iron-tipped fish are located.
According to Kurokas' description, the head iron fish is a creature that looks very similar to the Luohan fish.
Their foreheads are round and convex, like the bald heads of monks.
An adult head ironfish is about the size of a calf, but its raised forehead takes up a third of its volume.
At the same time, the head ironfish is a gregarious creature, usually in groups when it moves, and is very sensitive to passing ships.
As long as they sense that a ship is passing by on the sea, they will take the initiative to attack and hit the passing ships with their bald foreheads.
If you are lucky, the hull will only suffer some damage. If you are unlucky, the ship will be directly hit and sunk by the head iron fish.
After listening to Kurokas' description, Maud was already able to imagine that kind of picture.
A school of fish with hammers on their heads...
The only way to sail is with these freaks, and it's no wonder that there is a large shipyard like Thomas on Leviathan.
This is basically a giant industry spawned by the environment.
And it gave Maud a sense of sight when he threw nails on the road.
"Here's a chart to the Twin Isles, and a record pointer."
Kurokas handed these two things to Maud.
After Maud took it, he directly handed it over to Lafayette beside him.
After watching Lafayette put the watch-like recording pointer on his wrist, Kurokas took the initiative to remind:
"As long as the recording pointer points in the same direction as on the chart, it means that the 'record' has been stored."
"clear."
Raphael nodded, picked up the chart and looked at it.
It is difficult to get a record pointer, let alone a chart of the first island of the seven sailings.
At the beginning of Twin Points, these two things are crucial.
Maud was very reassured about Lafayette's ability, turned to Jim, and ordered, "Jim, go to the boat and bring two barrels of wine over."
"it is good."
Jim walked to the mast boat and returned shortly after with two barrels of wine.
The two casks were Maud's gift of thanks to Kurokas, who gladly accepted.
An hour later, the [Record] pointing to the twin islands had been saved, and it was time to set sail.
"Senior, we should go."
"Go."
Kurokas smiled.
Since Modjaya's visit, his smile has hardly stopped.
Just as Maud and the others were about to get on the boat, the originally calm sea suddenly trembled, and at the same time, there was a loud bang from the bottom of the sea.
The sudden movement made Lafayette's eyes slightly congeal.
Maud knew that the movement was made by Rab the whale, so he didn't react.
"What's going on?" Jaya asked in confusion.
"It's Rabu who is hitting the red soil continent."
Chlokas looked towards the location where the sound came from, frowning slightly.
The consumption of tranquilizers is increasing day by day, and if this continues, maybe five years, maybe ten years, the effect of tranquilizers will drop significantly, by then...
"What is Rab?"
Jaya looked at Kurokas.
Kurokas sighed: "It's a whale that tried to smash the red soil continent with its head. When you leave later, you just need to avoid the source of the sound."
"Break the Red Earth Continent?"
Lafayette said incredulously: "How can such a thing be possible."
"May be."
Maud looked up at the towering red soil continent.
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help looking at Maud.
That kind of thing is impossible.
"just kidding."
Maud smiled at everyone and ended this ethereal topic.
Is it impossible to do...
He can travel to this world, what is impossible?
In this bizarre world, anything human beings can imagine may become reality in the future.
Everyone looked at Maud strangely.
It's not like that is a joke.
"Okay, let's get on board."
Maud jumped on the mast boat first, diverting everyone's attention.
"Hohoho."
Lafayette chuckled, and then got on the boat.
When everyone was on board, Jim stowed the anchor and Lafayette lowered the sails.
The mast boat slowly moved away from the shore.
Kurokas watched the mast ship leave with his arms in his arms.
"It's nice to be young..."
Kurokas sighed with emotion.
Then, he jumped into the sea and snorkeled towards Rabu, who was hitting the red soil continent.
............
The mast boat rides the wind and waves towards the twin islands.
after one day.
Maud they encountered a storm.
Thanks to Lafayette's timely retraction of the sails, the tragic capsize was avoided.
But the huge waves that followed made Maud and the others deeply understand the horror of the great waterway.
After going down several times, there is a sense that the masted boat will be scattered in the next second.
Fortunately, in the end, there was still a near miss through the storm circle.
"This is the great channel..."
After escaping the catastrophe, Maud was shocked.
It is one thing to see the Great Channel as a bystander, and quite another to experience it for yourself.
The odds of surviving a capsize in that climate are pitifully low.
Maud took off his rain-soaked clothes and went to the bow to look into the distance.
"Twin Island."
Maud muttered to himself.
Jaya came to Mo De and said softly: "It's just an island, but there are two climates that coexist in spring and winter. It's amazing to think about it."
"yes."
Maud smiled.
Their knowledge of the Twin Islands depends on the intelligence provided by Kurokas.
As Jaya said.
Twin Islands is a relatively special island, with the climates of Spring Island and Winter Island.
Starting from the starting point, if there is no accident, it will arrive in ten days.
