"Okay!" Xia Ye nodded with a smile and walked towards the four people surrounding the table.
Tang Li moved to the side to make way for a seat. When Xia Ye saw him, he walked to the vacant seat and stood next to Tang Li.
"Thank you," she whispered.
"No need to say more...you're welcome."
After whispering to Tang Li, Xia Ye turned around and saw Yaha across the table looking at her with a slight frown.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you dressed up like?" Yaha asked while looking at the sailor uniform on Xia Ye.
"Any questions?"
"The problem is huge. White pantyhose are worn by the second mate, but as a manager, the second mate can only wear a black tie. What do you mean by wearing a blue one? That is worn by the helmsman." Yaha said very dissatisfied. said.
Xia Ye had an indifferent smile on her face: "I think it looks good together, so I just put it together like this, can't I?"
"Of course not... uh." Halfway through Yaha's words, he suddenly remembered that Xia Ye was the sponsor, so he had no choice but to change his words: "You have to dress casually, it's not impossible, but you will have to wear a special accessory later. It means you are a person with a special status, otherwise, the rules on this ship will be messed up."
"No problem." Xia Ye agreed. She thought that it was her hobby to freely match sailor uniforms, but she did not want to damage Yaha's authority as the captain. After all, if she wanted to hunt the white whale, she had to count on Yaha.
Yaha nodded, said nothing more, pointed at the chart with his finger, and continued to talk about the next route plan. Xia Ye listened for a while and quickly understood Yaha's plan.
The Moby Dick is currently sailing due west. If you keep heading in this direction, you will reach an archipelago in about five days.
This archipelago spreads out in a north-south direction. Because it is located to the west of Debso Tower, it was simply named "Western Islands" by the witches of Debso Tower.
There are hundreds of islands in the archipelago, but the largest of them is only the size of a square. Because the islands are too small to build a port, "Ether Exploration" has never sent anyone to develop them.
The airspace near the islands is where whales often hang out. Last time, Yaha discovered the white whale in the airspace southeast of the archipelago.
But this time, Yaha didn't intend to go straight to that airspace.
"Why?" The first mate asked. The girl is dressed in round-rimmed glasses and low ponytails. She looks very quiet and speaks in a gentle voice. Her first impression is exactly the opposite of Yaha's.
Except for breasts.
Xia Ye glanced at the deep valley of the tie, then looked down at his own, and couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.
"Because it was injured by me last time. It was a cunning whale. It is impossible for it to stay where it is, waiting for me or other whalers to find it." Yaha explained.
"So I guess it's here now." She stretched out her finger and drew a large circle on the west side of the archipelago.
"You mean it has gone to the other side of the islands?" asked the first mate.
"Yes, there are often whaling ships on the east side of the archipelago. In order to avoid the whaling ship, I guess it will pass through the archipelago and go to the airspace near the west side of the archipelago. Therefore, my plan is..."
As Yaha spoke, he clicked on the current location of the Moby Dick, slowly rowed in the direction of the archipelago, and stopped when he reached a position that was still one day's sail away from the archipelago.
"...First move straight towards the archipelago. After arriving at this position, turn north, pass through the upper end of the archipelago, circle to the western airspace, and then change course to the south to search for the beluga whale."
She traced a curve around the islands by sliding her fingers counterclockwise around them.
"If the beluga whale cannot be found in the western airspace, we will turn back to the eastern airspace and search the area where the beluga whale was last seen."
The first mate thought for a moment and somewhat understood Yaha's plan: "Your plan is: if you can find it on the west side of the archipelago, of course it would be best; if not, it means that it is still in the same position as last time, and we will start from another place." Entering the search direction can also have an unexpected effect?
"That's right." Yaha nodded.
"I have a question." Xia Ye raised her hand.
"Please say."
"Why didn't the beluga whale leave the airspace near the islands and escape far away?"
"It's not impossible." Yaha nodded: "But for the vast majority of whales, there are fixed areas of activity, and those strange places in the etheric sea are also dangerous for whales. Of course, if That white whale really escaped to a very far place, and we have no choice but to..."
At this point, Yaha spread his hands, probably meaning "you can figure it out."
Xia Ye was amused by Yaha's "showing off", and she nodded: "I understand, I don't have any objections."
"What if the white whale is hiding in the islands?" The first mate asked another question.
Before Yaha could answer, Tang Li patted his chest proudly: "In that case, this sword... well, my contract ability can easily detect it when we are sailing around the archipelago."
"That's right." Yaha nodded.
Xia Ye remembered that Yaha said that Tang Li had two very practical witch contracts. Apart from the "storage bracelet", the other one refers to this, right?
But the focus of her attention at this moment was not here, but on Tang Li's empty chest. It was okay if the girl didn't take a picture, but once she took a picture, it was immediately exposed.
Judging from the outline revealed by the undulations of the fabric, even if the other party's size is larger than Xia Ye, it is still very limited. The difference is no more than the beef in beef instant noodles.
Hufufu... As expected of a swordsman, it is as flat as a sword. Tang Li's mood that had just been affected by the first mate immediately healed a lot.
"Sister Tang Li is so awesome!" Xia Ye suddenly stretched out her hands, hugged Tang Li's arm hanging by her side, and said happily.
"Eh... eh... what? No, no... just a normal contract ability, hahaha..." Tang Li thought Xia Ye was praising his contract ability, and suddenly his face turned red with embarrassment.
The first mate and chief engineer on the side all looked surprised, "Why did the relationship between these two people suddenly become so good?" Only Yaha looked at Tang Li with a little pity. Based on her own "tragic" experience, she found Tang Li herself. This second mate has probably fallen into the trap woven by Xia Ye.
The evidence is that the second copy was talking strangely, as if he was suffering from some kind of paranoia. He just went to Xia Ye's room, and when he came back, his conversation suddenly became normal? !
This is simply scarier than the second officer actually being delusional.
"Ahem..." Yaha coughed lightly and brought the discussion back to the topic: "Do you have any questions? Chief engineer, if we follow this route, will we have enough fuel?"
