Xia Ye put on her clothes as quickly as possible, ran to the door, opened it, and stood at the door the crew who came to inform her.
It was a witch of medium height with long chestnut hair. She was wearing... the clothes the other party was wearing made Xia Ye stunned. But now her mind was all on the etheric sea, and she didn't have time to think too much. She turned around and ran to the deck.
"Thank you for coming to inform me~~"
When this sentence reached the ears of the crew, Xia Ye had already disappeared.
The girl rushed onto the deck.
The morning breeze blew in her face, blowing her skirt and long hair. She ran to the side of the ship, leaned out, and looked up.
She saw a "wall".
The wall is right in front of Moby Dick. It is so huge that you can't see the end downward, left, or right. It has an amber-like translucent texture and exudes a soft light yellow light.
Looking more carefully, Xia Ye discovered that the wall was not a whole. It was made up of hexagons one after another. Each hexagon was dozens of times the size of Moby Dick. They were perfectly connected to each other, leaving only A very thin gap is like a pattern engraved on the wall.
Xia Ye immediately realized that this wall was the "barrier" Yaha mentioned.
And the barrier and the dome are the same thing.
Thinking of this, she looked up. Compared with what we usually see in the Lower City, the dome here looks a little different. It is tilted, and the closer it is to the wall, the more downward it tilts, until it is completely vertical, like a waterfall falling from the sky, pouring into Germany. Directly ahead of the Busota.
Unknowingly, the Debsotta had sailed to a position less than one kilometer away from the barrier, and the sound of the stern thruster suddenly became louder. Immediately afterwards, a light yellow light curtain appeared around it. It was like a mini version of the barrier, wrapping the whaling ship in the center.
After a moment, the barrier rushed towards him.
When the ship's barrier came into contact with the dome's barrier, the ship's hull shook slightly, and then the two barriers, large and small, merged together, just like a small soap bubble merging into a larger soap bubble. Xia Ye suddenly realized that the two were probably essentially the same thing. The only difference was in scale and intensity.
Just as she was thinking, the Debsota had passed the barrier, the "big soap bubble" and the "small soap bubble" separated from each other, and the light yellow light curtain reappeared around the ship.
The howling of the wind suddenly became much louder.
Although he couldn't see it, Xia Ye could actually feel that there was an existence coming towards him. It hit the ship's barrier. While penetrating the barrier, its speed was also greatly slowed down, and then it blew past the ship's hull. , and everyone on board.
It is like a gust of wind, but it is obviously different from ordinary wind. It seems not to be blocked by objects at all. When it blows through Xia Ye's body, the skirt and hair do not even swing, but the chest, abdomen, limbs and even every part of the body Every corner, I could clearly feel something penetrating through.
This is the ether wind!
Xia Ye suddenly remembered what Yaha said before setting sail. Ether is everywhere and nothing can stop it. When ether flows, ether wind will form. In order to stop the ether wind from blowing, the witches of Debso Tower This pale yellow barrier was invented and placed on the Tower of Debso and on sailing ships.
But why would they do this? If there is no interaction with the object, it should be harmless... Xia Ye decided to ask Yaha later.
The reason why it takes a while is because——
The magnificent Aether Sea was already unfolding before her eyes, and she didn't want to leave the deck at this time anyway.
Not only did she not want to leave, she also walked towards the bow of the ship. Perhaps due to the control of the crew, the color of the barrier was rapidly becoming lighter. When Xia Ye reached the front of the front deck, the barrier finally became completely transparent.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of golden clouds.
The etheric sea is not a sea, but a vast airspace - this is a fact that Xia Ye has already guessed before seeing it with his own eyes, otherwise the whaling ship would not be designed as an airship flying in the air.
But the colors of the etheric sea completely exceeded her imagination. She seemed to have arrived in a country made of gold. Every cloud was golden, and the shades of these golden colors were different. Some were as thin as mist, and some were as thin as mist. It is as solid as a mountain made of pure gold.
However, unlike real gold, these golden colors are not dazzling. The light seems to be trapped inside, making it appear soft and restrained. Even if you look directly at it, it will not cause eye pain.
Having had enough of admiring the golden sea of clouds, Xia Ye withdrew his gaze, crossed the protruding angle, and looked directly below the ship. The space between the clouds was clear and transparent, and he could clearly see the clouds below and the clouds further below... …even to the very depths. She observed carefully for a while, and finally discovered that these areas were not completely colorless. At deep enough locations, a very light yellow color could be seen - just like the color of egg white.
Xia Ye held the railing with both hands and leaned out his upper body slightly, looking more intently through the gaps between the clouds to observe the depths of the etheric sea. There was actually nothing interesting there, far less interesting than the clouds of different shapes around her, but...perhaps it was curiosity or a desire to explore, as if there was a force driving her to keep looking deeper.
until--
The three witch contracts on the body together send signals to the body.
The "crack" on the back is a burning sensation, and the "Thunder Feather" on the lower back is a tingling sensation. These are all feelings that I have experienced once when I signed the contract. As for the "revival" on the thigh, Xia Ye is still the first. The first time I felt it was the numbness of losing consciousness.
These feelings lasted only a few seconds and disappeared quickly, but they were enough to interrupt Xia Ye's observation of the depths of the etheric sea.
"Ha... Huh..."
She retracted her leaning body, held her chest and took several deep breaths.
The situation just now... doesn't seem normal.
You should at least ask Yahab if he has any taboos in this regard before looking at the bottom of the etheric sea,'
Thinking of this, she felt that she should return to the bridge. Anyway, she had already enjoyed the Taihai Sea, and in the next two or three weeks, she would see this kind of scenery every day. Maybe she would be tired of seeing it before she returned.
Xia Ye thought as she walked back to the side from the front deck, then entered the bridge from the side, and walked along the passage and stairs towards the cab on the top floor.
Along the way, many crew members passed by her. Some were surprised by her beauty and turned back involuntarily. Others knew that she was a friend of Captain Yaha and saluted her quickly.
Xia Ye politely returned the greeting, while surprise flashed through her heart.
And as she saw more and more crew members, she became more and more surprised. To be precise, what surprised her was not the crew members, but what they were wearing.
Thinking about it again, the crew member who came to the room to wake him up in the first place seemed to be dressed like this...
Xia Ye walked into the cab with surprise. When she saw Yaha, she was stunned to find that Yaha, as the captain, was also wearing——
Sailor suit.
Not just her, all the crew members she saw along the way were wearing——
Sailor suit.
Not the kind of sailor clothes that sailors wear...
Instead, the top is a sailor uniform with large lapels and a bow tie, the bottom is a pleated skirt, and the legs are knee-high socks or pantyhose.
It was as if everyone on the ship were cosplaying in sailor uniforms.
