There is no clear water in the ocean; along the way, Ella has never seen a beach where the ship can be stranded.
In order to prevent the supplies from being damaged by the sea water, Ella had to ask the soldiers to carry the full layer of grain and grass to the warehouse on the upper floor - due to Lubeck, most of these warehouses are currently empty.
After cleaning up the supplies, Ella started looking for water seepage. The shipworm is only about half the length of a baby's little finger and as thin as a hair. It is not easy to find such a bug even on a small fishing boat, let alone the Flying Zealander, which is as big as a fortress.
But a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. If this hole is left alone and seawater continues to seep into the cabin, it will have an extremely bad impact on navigation.
In order to deal with this 'ant nest', Ella mobilized half of the soldiers at once and spent a whole day before finally finding the wormhole and patching it up with wooden boards.
In view of the possibility that sea worms would pierce through the bottom of the ship in the future, Ella threw the Lübeck sailor he fished out into the large iron cage that had once held the black bear and Imberita.
"If you eat my bread, you will work for me! This floor is already empty, but someone must stay here to keep an eye on the water level. I will give you the key to the iron cage, and you will live in it. No one is watching you, Don't neglect your duties!" I heard
At the word "neglect of duty", the sailor silently glanced at the empty cabin and did not dare to say anything.
After dealing with this matter, Ella returned to her cabin mentally exhausted.
"Amy, you said, just a small sea insect caused such a big trouble, then if it is a large sea insect..." Before he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from the deck: "Come up, come up !”
"so big!"
"It's really big!"——
"So big? What is it? A big sea insect." Ella hurried onto the deck, only to see the pirates excitedly pulling a fishing net out of the sea.
The fishing nets are filled with all kinds of sea fish and shells.
"King of Sweden, look at this!" Two soldiers, one holding one end and the other holding the tail, brought a huge eel to Ella.
Its length even exceeded Ella's height.
"So big! No, it's Captain Blackbeard. No - who asked you to fish? We are trying hard to avoid big sea worms now! If you go down the net, what if a big sea worm is caught? ?" The pirates looked at each other and said, "If the big sea worm is caught by the fishing net, then there is no need to be afraid, right?"
"Yeah, maybe it tastes good..." Ella somehow felt that what these pirates said made sense.
"That's right. If you are caught, it will be just prey and not a monster...Okay, we will eat trash fish tonight!" Cooking fresh fish on a fishing boat basically means boiling water and throwing it directly into the pot. There is no need for any salt or spices, but because it is extremely fresh, the cooked fish tastes more delicious than any restaurant on land.
As soon as these fish were brought to the soldiers, in the blink of an eye, the fish meat was gone; in the blink of an eye, the fish soup was drank up; after blinking the eyes three times, not even the fish bones were visible. .
Next, I have to be on duty to guard against sea worms, which is very tiring. In order to reward the soldiers, Ella also asked the chef to kill several cows and sheep and let the soldiers eat fish soup.
As for the big eel, it was shared between Ella and the officers living on the first floor. Then at night, Dast's screams suddenly floated from his cabin: "The big sea worm! The big sea worm crawled into my room!"
"Master, don't panic, I'm here to save you!" Ella yelled and ran to Dust's door with the soldiers on duty. Several soldiers with axes opened the door three times, five times, five times and two times, and rushed in. Go in.
But Dast was seen sitting on the boat covering his face, with red bumps covering his hands, face and body.
"King of Sweden, you are right, this damn big sea insect will really crawl in from the hatch!" Dust shouted,
"I was drunk and lying on the bed. Mimi Huhu felt a little itchy, as if I was afraid of insects. As soon as I got up, it became like this!"
"Where's the sea worm?"
"I didn't see it. He must have climbed into other cabins!" Dast's symptoms made the pirates look panicked.
After they carefully searched this layer, they couldn't even see the shadow of the insect.
"Call the ship's doctor here to treat Master, and the others will come with me!" Ella waved her hand angrily.
"I already know who the prisoner is!" She rushed all the way to the bottom, let the pirates use an ax to break open the iron cage holding the bear, and pulled out the shivering Lübeck sailor inside.
"Tell me the truth! How did you let the big sea worm in? Where is the big sea worm now?" The Lübeck sailor looked at the swordsman beside Ella tremblingly: "The big sea worm?"
"Stop pretending! When I entered Master's cabin, the door was closed and I had to use an ax to break it open. The big sea worm can't lock the door! So there must be an insider! The only person on this ship with this motive is you! You are the only one at the bottom, no matter what you do, no one can see it! Do you admit guilt or not!"
"I...I was wronged!" The sailor cried and complained.
"I've never seen a big sea worm! I don't dare to touch it, right?"
"You dare to quibble! Come here, take off his clothes and see if there are any redness or swelling inside!"
"I really didn't do anything! I even shoveled the poop of a bear that was hard to stone here!" The sailor kowtowed repeatedly.
"Have mercy, King of Sweden!"
"The King of Sweden is Captain Blackbeard!"
"Your Majesty." Amy asked quietly from the side.
"He's at the bottom, how could he let the sea worms in?"
"Gu...?" Ella realized the flaw in her reasoning. So she slowly turned her head and asked in a low voice: "What about...the sea worm?"...
"It's because of eating sea fish." In Dust's room, the ship's doctor reported the results of the examination to Ella.
"Some people will have this symptom after eating certain seafood. Just rest for a while and it will be fine." Dast shook his head while scratching his itch: "Isn't it? I only ate eels today. I have eaten eels before. , and there are no such symptoms at all.”
"Eels in the river or eels in the sea?"
"In the river..."
"Don't eat eels from the sea in the future." The doctor warned seriously.
"Don't talk about the future, I'm itchy now, all over my body! I'm going to die from itchiness!" Dast scratched harder and harder,
"Quickly think of a way to relieve the itching, doctor!"
"Scratch the skin and sprinkle salt on it," the doctor suggested seriously.
"That way it won't itch."
"I know it doesn't itch! But it hurts! It hurts!" Dust shouted,
"Is there no other plan?" The ship's doctor shook his head silently.
"King of Sweden, are there any eels left this time? Stop raising them and behead them!" Dast cursed and continued to scratch his body.
"With these symptoms, if their bodies weren't a little shorter, they would be exactly the sea worms described, right?"
