"By the way, I have another question." Xia Ye said.
"Um?"
"Do whalers have a taboo like 'not to look into the depths of the etheric sea'?"
Not long ago, she looked into the depths of the etheric sea, which resulted in an abnormal reaction from the contract in her body.
After hearing this, Yaha shook his head: "We have never had similar taboos."
"Then if you look down, can you see anything strange? Will your body react in any way?"
"No. Apart from clouds, what else is there down there?"
"Um……"
So this phenomenon only happens to yourself? Xia Ye thought for a while and asked again: "Hasn't anyone tried to explore the depths of the etheric sea to see what's there?"
"Yes, but not us." Yaha replied: "We only care about whales. As for the seabed, that is what 'Ether Exploration' cares about."
Xia Ye suddenly realized that "Ether Exploration" set up a drilling rig to drill magic power from the seabed. If you want to ask about the depths of the ether sea, of course you have to go to them.
As for whether "Ether Exploration" will pay attention to myself who is penniless, that is another question...
She recorded this information in her mind and raised another doubt of hers:
"Why use a barrier to block the ether wind? What will be the impact if it is not blocked?"
"The etheric winds will blow away the magic," Yaha replied.
"Blow away?"
"If you are directly exposed to the ether wind, the rate of magic loss will be greatly increased. The faster the wind speed, the faster the loss. At the current speed of the Debso Tower, if we do not hold up a barrier, our magic power will be lost every few minutes. 1 mol will be lost."
"I see. Does the barrier have other functions? For example, physical protection or something?"
"The Debso Tower has a barrier, but the one on the ship can only be used to block ordinary wind and aether wind."
After hearing this answer, Xia Ye suddenly came up with an idea and decided to try it now.
"I don't have any other questions." She said to Yaha, "You go ahead and get busy, I have something else to do, bye~"
Xia Ye waved her hand and turned to leave, but Yaha suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
"What were you planning to say to me earlier?"
"Before?" Xia Ye was stunned for a while before she remembered this matter. She was originally going to tell Yaha, but was interrupted because the thruster was about to enter stamping mode.
"It's not an important thing, don't worry about it."
When she said this, Yaha became more concerned: "I still want to know."
"Okay. Didn't you tell me before how you found the first mate and the second mate? I originally wanted to praise you and say you are a pretty good captain, that's all." Xia Ye had a reluctant expression on his face.
"that's all?"
"Roughly the same."
"What does almost mean?"
"Oh, forget it, since you insist on asking, let me repeat it again and close your eyes." Xia Ye said helplessly.
"Why do you have to close your eyes..." Although Yaha was a little confused, he still obeyed.
"Cough, cough, ah, ah -" Xia Ye quickly adjusted her tone, "Okay, open your eyes."
When Yaha heard the voice, she already noticed something was wrong. When she opened her eyes, she saw unexpectedly and unexpectedly——
Momo in sailor uniform.
"Lord Yaha, you are a very good captain, come on!"
The girl stood within arm's reach, looking up at Yaha with a sweet smile, her slender arms holding small fists in a gesture of cheering.
Yaha stared blankly in front of her, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. When she came back to her senses, Momo's voice had changed back to Xia Ye's voice, and her demeanor had returned to normal. That look.
"That's it... I wanted to make a joke with you at the time, but then I thought it was boring to tease you with dead people all the time, so I decided to forget it. I didn't expect you to want to get to the bottom of it yourself, so you can't blame me. Sigh."
While talking, Xia Ye's facial features also began to change. There was not much difference in their appearance. After just a few seconds, the last trace of Momo disappeared without a trace.
"Bye~" Xia Ye turned around and ran away.
"that……"
"What's wrong?" She stopped impatiently.
"Thank you." Yaha whispered.
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, replied "oh", then turned and left. This time, Yaha finally stopped calling her.
…
It wasn't that she was in a hurry to escape, but there was something she really wanted to test.
After exiting the cab, she continued up the stairs and reached the platform on the top floor of the bridge. A tall mast stands in the center of the platform. Near the top of the mast, a platform of only a few square meters is set up, which is the observation deck of the whaler.
On one side of the mast, a row of metal horizontal bars is welded, extending all the way to the observation deck. This is the ladder leading to the observation deck.
Xia Ye looked at the "ladder" without even a handrail, then at the observation deck about twenty meters high, and finally decided -
"Xiuji, lift me up." As her good partner, of course Xiuji also got on the boat.
"No problem, 1 mol." Black Cat quoted a price.
"There is no magic reward this time."
"Eh? Then I won't..."
"But, don't you want to go outside and enjoy the breeze?" Xia Ye pointed to the top of his head with a smile.
Xiuji was stunned for a few seconds and finally understood what she meant. It nodded its cat head and jumped onto the mast with a "swish". The fleshy pads on its feet were like suction, adsorbing it to the almost vertical surface of the mast.
It took elegant cat steps and quickly reached the bottom of the observation tower. Then, its body turned into a thin and long tentacle. One end was wrapped around the guardrail of the observation tower, and the other end extended downwards until it hung down into the summer night. around.
After Xia Ye grabbed it, the tentacle circled the arm a few more times, and then began to shrink, lifting the girl directly to the observation tower.
Xia Ye climbed over the guardrail and saw an unexpected person at first sight.
Tang Li was standing on the observation deck, talking to another crew member.
"Leave this place to me. You can go and rest for a while. When I notify you, you can come back."
"Okay, Master Tang Li."
The bow tie on the crew member's chest is purple, indicating that he is a lookout.
After the watchman finished speaking to Tang Li, he nodded to Xia Ye who had just come up, then skillfully climbed over the railing and jumped directly.
Two seconds later, a "boom" sound came from below.
Xia Ye looked down and saw that the other party was standing firmly on the platform. She suddenly realized that for these crew members who had signed a "structural strengthening" contract, jumping directly from a height of six stories was nothing.
No wonder the ladder on the mast is so stupidly designed...because no one will ever use it.
"What are you doing here, fellow Taoist?" Tang Li was the first to speak. Probably because there was no one else around, she returned to her middle-class speaking style.
"I'm here to blow some air." Xia Ye said, "What about you?"
"Research the sea conditions."
"Oh...then I won't bother you." Xia Ye nodded, walked to the other end of the platform, and said to Xiu Ji who was lying on top of his head: "You come first?"
"I'll go first."
"good."
After Xia Ye finished speaking, she grabbed the black cat by the neck and threw it out of the barrier.
