Because it was entrusted by someone, and there was a strange "new guest", the [Sumeer] did not delay on Pallas Island for too long as usual in the past ocean trade process, and spent five days to supplement the corresponding information. After collecting the supplies, we left the dock and officially entered the depths of the sea.

In the past, one could replenish supplies and confirm the sailing direction through the coastal port towns. In the second half of the ocean journey, one must arrive at Philo Island in the west of the Land of Creation accurately and avoid the wrong direction as much as possible. , so as not to add extra trips, this is something that only old captains can do. Not everyone can carry out ocean-going trade smoothly, which is also an important reason why Cork cannot yet stand on its own feet.

In more than three months, the [Sumeer] will not receive any fresh water supplies and land supplies. Fortunately, the normal food reserves before unloading the cargo are enough to last four months, and the cargo warehouse is completely loaded with fresh water. After adding food, even including dragon birds that can eat and drink, they can last about four months.

Not to mention that the dragon bird can catch fish for food independently, which saves a lot of materials.

After confirming that Sia did not hate eating fish, Lester agreed to Captain Kelan's proposal to kill the remaining cattle and sheep as soon as possible, because this could reduce the consumption of fresh water resources.

Thanks to this, the crew and Lester ate animal meat in various ways for two weeks and successfully eliminated those creatures that were afraid of the sea. The blood they drained attracted a lot of sharks, but it was not too serious. Big question.

The rest of the crew feared the yordle mage on the ship more than the shark.

A little man with purple skin and a flower staff, and a mysterious little fairy with thin transparent wings.

"A powerful mage lord, a mutated dragon bird queen, plus the Yodel mage and her little fairy. Alas, I really hope nothing goes wrong this time I go to sea."

In the chart room, a sailor who was helping Cork was worried. He clearly remembered the funny scene where the yordle turned the captain's big hat into a tulip on the first day he boarded the ship.

The reason given by the Yodels was actually because the captain's big felt hat was too serious.

Is there any more outrageous reason to be naughty than this?

Instead of responding immediately to his confidant, the first mate concentrated on his work.

With his eyes in front of the small telescope, Cork carefully adjusted the index mirror of the sextant so that the sun in the index mirror coincided with the sea level in the horizon mirror. Then he recorded the angle of the index mirror and compared it with the chart. Cork confirmed that the direction pointed by the bow of the ship did not deviate from the route leading to Zhiyun Province, which made him feel relieved.

On the high seas, yaw often means sinking into the deep sea.

Calibrating the course is a daily task that cannot be neglected. The reason why Cork has not yet become a captain and allows old Kellan to live a good life with his family is simply because in extreme weather, only an experienced old captain can remain calm and composed. to prevent the sail from being torn apart by the storm,

Only an experienced captain can always keep the bow of the ship pointed at the other shore, which symbolizes life, and set foot on solid land with hope.

"That yordle is Lord Nicholas's guest. I think you should know what this means, not to mention Lord Nicholas is someone we absolutely cannot afford to offend."

Carefully putting the sextant back into place, Kirk then focused on the sailor he wanted to train.

Riccardo, who is currently serving as the helmsman, is good at everything. He can endure hardships and is willing to learn. He is not a stupid blockhead. Apart from being jealous, the only problem is that he is prone to saying depressing words sometimes.

This has a great impact on life on board, which is very particular about atmosphere.

Many times, conflicts arise just because of one or two frustrating words, leading to tragic shipwrecks and fatalities.

Recalling the behavior of the old captain Kellan, Kirk said seriously with his hands behind his back.

"No matter what the position is, on this ship, we are the ones who need to obey orders. Before you have your own ship and sailors, you need to obey the absolute authority of the captain and recognize all the captain's decisions. ,

It's not our business to worry about who we put on board, okay? "

Just as the future old captain was imparting experience to his first mate, in the captain's room, Lulu, with her eyes closed, was holding her spiral wooden staff peacefully, lying upright on the bed, letting the little fairy calm down. Pixar is kind of boring.

After some frantic checking and fiddling, Pixar also understood that his friend was not an ordinary seasick person.

Pixar also knew nothing about this unusual situation of "lying on a bed and ascending to the sky with a peaceful look on his face". There were many boat rides in previous adventures, but nothing like this had ever happened.

Yodels are magical creatures. How can magical creatures get seasick?

Pixar is also very helpless about this.

Inexplicably choosing to use the back of his hand to confirm that the smiling yordle was not suffering from fever, Lester covered Lulu with a quilt, making the sleeping Garlic smile even more charmingly.

I don’t know what sweet dream the little guy is having, but he is smiling so happily.

It is not so much a disease as it is some kind of sudden quirk, similar to a non-subjective body action mechanism such as sleepwalking. The cause is probably due to the power of the world runes. As for the deeper mechanism of action, Rice It’s also hard to make too many guesses.

"Pixar, Lulu, please let me know if there is anything else unusual. I'll go out for a walk first."

After flying around the man, Pixar nodded, lying on the quilt and watching Lester leave.

It had been half a month since she left Pallas Island. Even Sia, who was very interested in the sea, was a little tired. She lay sickly on the front deck and let the sun bask her buttocks.

When the salty sea breeze and endless waves change from beautiful scenery to life, fun turns into torture.

Hearing the footsteps approaching him, his closed eyes slowly opened a slit in vigilance. Seeing that the person coming was his spouse, his cold vertical pupils instantly turned into happy and harmless egg-shaped ones. The dragon bird finally regained some energy, carefully adjusted its body, lowered its head in the direction of the man, widened its eyes, and let out a pitiful whimper.

"Woooo~oooooo~"

Leicester had already learned many times about Shia Silveryue's cuteness skills that were no less impressive than Lulu's. He skillfully stroked the scaleless chin of the dragon bird with his cold palms, tickling the big guy's sensitivity. at.

During the non-estrus period, this kind of caressing is enough to replace the conventional means of venting, making the dragon bird comfortable and addicted.

It didn't take long for the silver-winged dragon bird to narrow its eyes comfortably, and its negative emotions disappeared without a trace. If it hadn't been for restraining its tail, the bow of the boat would have been beaten to pieces by the swaying tail.

"I know, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."

"嘤嘤嘤......"

The sailor working on the ship looked with admiration at his employer who was training his dragon bird. For a moment of trance, he imagined that the male protagonist would become himself. It was not until he was slapped on the face by cold water that the sailor suddenly woke up and became aware of himself again. He is just an ordinary sailor who has been working hard on the ship for more than ten years, not a lord who rules hundreds of thousands of people, and he does not have a handsome and beautiful dragon bird as a pet.

But before the disappointment was fully brewed, the sound coming from the observation pole made everyone feel nervous.

"Go tell the captain! There is a clipper approaching us in the southwest!"
