The storm rushed across the foredeck, making a splashing sound on the canvas, and the water was flowing down the steps like a waterfall.
Fang Plover walked through the cabin to the deck, opened the cabin door, and a gust of cold wind penetrated his neck. The sound of heavy rain and wind hit his face, mixed with the sailors' chants.
The air was filled with water vapor, and the ship's hull was slowly tilting between the clouds. There were dark walls of clouds in all directions, as if the world had been turned upside down.
Until a bright electric light illuminated everything, and there was a vast expanse of white between the sea of clouds. Fang Plover looked up and saw a cloud cliff hundreds of meters high in front of him, pressing in this direction with an unrivaled momentum.
This is the first time he has experienced a storm in this world, and it seems to be several times more powerful than the storms on Earth.
The storm that Princess Brianne expected finally arrived one day and one night later, descending on the sea area where the Berio was located.
The huge storm was extremely fast, catching up with the ship at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, and sweeping towards the entire south of Fenris Island. However, due to its huge size, the sailors estimated that it would take at least more than a week. It will calm down completely.
This is just the edge of the storm, but looking around, terrifying lightning is already shuttled between the clouds in the distance, any one of which is enough to tear the Berio to pieces.
Legend has it that lightning is the whip in the hand of Erchis, an ancient god who controls the power of lightning and storms. Today there are very few legends about it, but sailors in some places still believe in this ancient god. They It is believed that the storm is the angry breath of this god.
It seems that the power of a god is indeed being nurtured in the sea of clouds.
The strong wind flowed above the clouds, rolling up the cloud cliffs hundreds of meters high, causing the entire world to tilt slowly, bringing tons of water vapor and hail, slamming towards the bow of the ship.
The hull of the ship made a creaking sound, as if it would be overwhelmed and fall apart at any time, which made people's scalp numb. But the old sailor next to Fang Pulong was holding his pipe leisurely and told him that there was no need to worry at all. This was just childish.
Pediatrics? Fang Yu couldn't believe his ears. He thought he had encountered a super storm that only happened once in a century.
"It pales in comparison to the storms I've seen off the coast of Oshur, not to mention this is the edge of the storm."
The old sailor told him that the real threat to experienced sailors and navigators in a storm comes from the shear wind and turbulence formed by the violent wind elements.
That's the 'invisible threat'.
Cross winds hit the hull of the ship, and a slight inadvertence may cause it to capsize. The turbulent vortex will often form a lift break, and once you fall into it, you will be doomed.
Not to mention those hidden thunderclouds. Even the most experienced navigators may accidentally enter the thunderstorm area during the storm. The danger contained in the thunderstorm area is several times higher than outside.
“Hold on tight, young man,” the old sailor’s gray eyes seemed to be submerged in the criss-crossing wrinkles. He shouted, grabbing the rope with his hands covered with cracks and calluses and throwing it over: “Be prepared to face the cross wind. "
Fang Plover quickly took over the grip and the Berio's huge hull suddenly shook violently, and the entire hull made an overwhelmed creaking sound, as if it was about to fall apart, which sounded horrifying.
After the crosswind passed, a fault zone tens of meters wide suddenly appeared under the clouds in front of the Berio. After the clouds parted, there seemed to be a vortex filled with lightning below.
The bottom of the deep vortex seems to lead to the end of hell.
"Fault zone!"
"Left full rudder——!"
As the herald shouted, the Berio's hull slowly tilted.
The sailors shouted slogans and pulled the ropes in an orderly manner:
"Work harder, hey!"
"Golden Gin from Iron Candle Bay, hey!"
"Work harder, hey!"
"Pretty girls, hey!"
In the sailors' chants, the airship finally crossed over, flying dangerously close to the clouds on the fault zone. Of course, the only one who felt the danger was Fang Plover, and the old sailor beside him looked indifferent.
The latter dropped the cable, turned his pipe and knocked on the railing, squinted at the horizon, and murmured: "This storm will probably pass through the entire north of Fenris."
"What does that mean?" Fang Yu wiped a handful of cold sweat, but the rain fell off his cold forehead. His body had long been soaked with water, and he couldn't tell which was water and which was sweat.
Only then did he realize that sailing on the Kukai was not that simple. The Kukai here was as dangerous as the oceans on Earth.
Once it falls into a rage, the power it displays is even greater.
To conquer such an ocean, in addition to a reliable ship, you also need experienced sailors and sailors. Fang Yu looked at the old sailor in front of him and couldn't imagine what kind of experience it would take to develop such a strong nerve.
"The Berio is a cargo ship and is not equipped to sail in storms. We may have to head to a shelter north of here to wait out the storm."
"How long do we have to wait?"
"Maybe a week, maybe longer."
Fang Plover knew the anchorage the old sailor was talking about.
The Sea of Clouds is a semi-inland sea located in the north and south of the Kaolin continent, surrounded by several floating continents in Eldron (Ithurian) and Talon.
And in the center of this inland sea is Fenris Island.
This medium-sized island has a ruler known as Kaolin-Ithurian, a green dragon who is said to be extremely wealthy, and he is also the honorary president of the Kaolin-Ithurian Craftsmen Association. one.
The mountains on the island are also named after this green dragon, but sailors passing by simply call them the Green Dragon Mountains. The mountains run east-west and are closer to the northern end of the island. Therefore, the terrain in the north of Fenris Island is steep and the canyon is steep. There are many bays, while the south is relatively flat, with forests and river beaches.
At the eastern end of the Green Dragon Mountains, there is an anchorage called Golden Bay. Princess Brianne has long told them that the ship may dock there.
Golden Bay and Fenris Island's administrative capital, Cloudport, to the east and west, are the only two towns on the island with human settlements.
The towering Green Dragon Mountains blocked the path of the storm going south. The south of the Green Dragon Mountains may not have been affected by the storm, and Yunzhi Port has a direct shuttle boat to the capital of the kingdom, so traveling to Yunzhi Port by land has become an option for them.
The Berio sailed through the storm and experienced several more dangerous situations.
About half an hour later, the cargo ship staggered through the cloud and rain area, leaving the storm behind. But the thick clouds were still on the side of the ship, and lightning flashed from time to time between the clouds. The ship temporarily missed the storm, and as expected it would soon completely cover this area.
But no matter what, the surrounding sea of clouds became slightly calmer at this moment, but it was still raining heavily in the sky.
The old sailor then put on his windbreaker and hat, turned around and said to him with squinted eyes: "How about it, young man, is my boat okay?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this: "Your boat?"
The old sailor laughed loudly: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the captain of this ship."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised, and then he realized that this old sailor who seemed calm and unfazed turned out to be the real captain of the Berio.
He watched the old man step onto the deck and give orders to the sailors. The ship moved forward slowly. After the sea of clouds parted in front, a row of dark shadows could already be seen on the skyline.
That is the northern boundary of the Green Dragon Mountains.
Fang Plover then stepped down from the cabin. This experience in the storm opened his eyes, not to mention meeting the captain of the Berio, which was like an adventure.
But others apparently don't think so.
When the storm came, everyone was either staying in their rooms or doing activities in the officer's activity room. Fang Plover stopped in front of the activity room, opened the door, and saw Tian Lan, whose face was pale, like a wet bird. Like a frightened quail, he sat in his seat.
He couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Speaking of which, this little girl wanted to die on her own and insisted on dragging him to the deck to 'greet' the storm. In the end, nothing happened to him. Instead, this little French girl scared herself half to death.
Then I dare not go on the deck or get close to the porthole.
Jita is still reading and recording the knowledge about the customs and customs related to this world. Her small body is curled up on the sofa, surrounded by tomes that are taller than her. Some books are scattered due to the previous bumps. However, she was so focused that she didn't seem to notice.
Fang Yu only saw the light reflecting off the other party's huge glass lenses, and his beautiful black eyes occasionally blinked behind him. He was so focused that he didn't seem to notice that he had entered the room.
Attila was still recovering from her injuries and was not in the activity room. Parker didn't know where he went. Sylvide and her maid went to the chart room to help. She was also the only person who could help on the ship.
Fang Yu looked around and found that Princess Brianne was not in the activity room either. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He quite liked this generous and unassuming elf princess. The key was that the latter would always tell them a lot of things that he had never heard before. past experience.
Many of them were about the adventures of the aboriginal people, as well as stories about her and Sir Robin and several heroes of the Battle of Byrne, most of which he had never heard of before.
In the training room adjacent to the activity room, Red was fighting with Luo Yu.
The sound of fierce fighting even reached outside.
Fang Plover couldn't help but glance in that direction, just in time to see the lion man leap forward, slashing down with the staff in his hand, a mane that looked like fire flying in the air, and the head of the staff that looked like a crown collided with a light shield. At the same time, the diamond-shaped network flashed and the light shield retreated.
Not far away from the other party, Luo Yu was heartbroken when he saw this, and quickly controlled the clockwork fairy to reset. However, he did not expect the other party to dodge, and actually bypassed his light shield and placed the scepter on his neck.
Rhett squinted his eyes and took back his staff with a half-smile.
"Lost again." Luo Yu shook his head.
But the lion man laughed: "I cheated. I used 100% of my strength just now. It's normal that you can't react."
Luo Yu raised his head and looked at him.
Rhett nodded affirmatively and looked at Fang Plover who walked in: "The set of things Ed provided is incredible. I have never heard of a trainee being able to perform to this extent. Of course, Luo Yu, you are also very good. , I have become so familiar with controlling this thing in these days. If I suppress my strength to about level ten, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to win. I think even a second-level professional of about level fifteen, You should be able to hold the other party off for a while."
"It's all thanks to Ed's help." Luo Yu replied modestly. He turned around and nodded to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu wrung out the water on his clothes, wiped his face and hair with a handkerchief, and nodded to the two of them.
It was his previous plan to let Luo Yu temporarily become the defender of the team. Of course, just because he can block the attack of a tenth-level character does not mean that he has the strength equivalent to a tenth-level selector.
It can only be said that it has a protection level equivalent to that of a level 10 selector, but its offensive capabilities are almost non-existent. In other words, it is roughly equivalent to half of a level 10 selector.
This is basically the ultimate level that he can help Luo Yu and several trainees, and their levels and skills do not allow for any higher levels.
But that's enough for now.
Speaking of which, he himself is only close to level ten.
It's just that his several adventure experiences before and after were a bit amazing. He raised his level from level three to half of level eight in just one month. To outsiders, it was almost a fantasy.
Even for those talented newcomers trained by top guilds, it is actually very difficult to reach this level within half a year.
But Fang Yu himself didn't have this consciousness.
Although he knew that his experience was already outrageous, he still felt in his heart that his strength had improved a bit too slowly.
Whether it was the affairs of the Jeffrit Red Team, or the truth about the death of the Silver Forest Spear, the Dragon Fire Guild, the Dark Dragon, and Miss Attila's brother, they all gave him a vague sense of urgency.
Not to mention that there is a huge figure behind him - the military who is looking for him.
Fang Yu secretly had this thought - if he showed enough strength, would the military consider cooperating with him instead of forcefully depriving him of his identity?
There is no such precedent in history. Although it was a long time ago, Fang Pultru remembered it very clearly.
But what he really doesn't know is, how strong does one have to be?
He just thought that a newcomer at the eighth level would definitely not be able to do it anyway, so he wanted to go further all the time. Even if he had limited experience, it was best to use it on the edge of the knife.
In Fang Plover's view, there are many schools of combat craftsmen, but flexible combat styles are their essence.
But this powerful profession has a fatal flaw, that is, it is impossible to become a dragon knight.
In fact, as the number one battle craftsman among the Chosen, Loofah, the late executioner and the number one battle craftsman, has personally admitted that he is relatively weak in high-end combat power.
It is precisely for this reason that the opponent failed to reach the top of the selector rankings, and even found it difficult to enter the top five.
But he is different——
The most insurmountable obstacle for other combat craftsmen has become a smooth road here from the beginning.
As perhaps the only craftsman-type dragon knight in the world, this is the source of all Fang Plover's confidence. Only with the fairy system can he truly push this path to its limit.
So he set his path right from the start.
With the assistance of the fairy system, the style of fighting more and less will be used to the extreme.
Fang Yu looked at his hands, as if through the reflection of the copper shell of the control gloves, he could already see the future with flexible structures flying all over the sky.
He gently shook his right hand and murmured:
"Just give me a little more time..."
