Broad World

Chapter 39 The Storm

The voyage of the Sword was as smooth as ever, and there were no pirates, sea monsters, storms, or even a little bad weather along the way. By the eighth day the sailors were still somewhat anxious; they had never been so far from land. Both Henry and the captain discovered this situation. After thinking for a while, Hawke found Henry and said to him: "Mr. Employer, if we can't reach the destination within a few days, there may be riots among the sailors. I think you'd better Be careful."

He thought about it. "Mr. Captain, I have noticed this situation. Don't worry, if the sailors riot, I will suppress or even kill them all within a few minutes. However, considering their panic, the drink has been tripled in recent days, so It should make the sailors feel better."

Hawke nodded. "Okay, I'll order the kitchen to keep the drink open."

Henry stood on the deck and let the warm sea breeze blow his hair. It had been sailing for so many days. The ship has already entered the warm sea, and the sea breeze is obviously humid and hot. There are obviously more fish following the boat, and the sea water has changed from dark blue in the north to tropical emerald green. It should be here soon, he told himself in his heart. Turning his head, he saw the dwarf fishing in the bow of the boat, but what he fished was not the usual small fish but sharks.

After a while, the sailors standing around shouted: "Quick! Quick! Pull it up hard."

Cagan yelled: "Look at me!" As he spoke, the arm of the dwarf's **** began to congest with blood, and he grabbed the rope vigorously. The tenacity and strength unique to dwarves played a role, and a huge shark was lifted up by the iron hook.

"See! This guy is five meters long." Cagan shouted excitedly, it seems that he has adapted to life on the boat and no longer gets seasick. The sailors around shouted loudly to vent their emotions, and the bosun on board stabbed the still struggling big shark to death with a harpoon.

Captain Hawk came out and said loudly: "Good job! What a big guy. Well guys, I'm announcing good news now! Just now I discussed with Mr. Employer, and he agreed to start drinking on board from today Three times the supply."

"Long live! Long live the captain! Long live Mr. Henry! Long live the spirits!" The sailors shouted happily, and the huge pressure was also released. Seeing that everyone's mood had improved significantly, Henry turned his head and nodded to Captain Hawke, then climbed up the mast to find Robert.

He said to the young thief: "Robert, be careful when you watch the night tonight. If you find anything wrong, come to me immediately. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen."

"I understand the master, and the thief's intuition also tells me that something bad is about to happen. In fact, everyone feels it, but they are not as sensitive as us. I will cheer up today." Robert said.

Henry came to the kitchen during dinner and found that the sailors' mood had obviously increased a lot. Many people drank wine and ate large pieces of fish and bread. This kind of dinner was considered rich for lowly ordinary sailors. He asked for a fish, two apples and a piece of bread, and the cook on board also gave a piece of marinated steak separately. The sailors around just looked enviously and didn't have any dissatisfaction. He exists widely in this world and as an employer, he is also quite generous to the crew. Back in his cabin, he began to eat food slowly.

Suddenly the door was opened, and Robert came in and said to him: "Master, your premonition has been experienced. I found that the nearby seabirds became restless, and there were some abnormalities in the distant clouds."

Hearing this he stood up immediately. "Come on, let's find the captain right away."

Hawk had a very happy dinner, and the restlessness on board was calmed down. There's no danger of riots, and no damn pirates. It would be perfect if it kept going like this. He gently poured himself a glass of fine wine, gently picked up the glass and sipped it. The captain was startled by the sudden opening of the door, and he put down his glass when he saw that it was his employer. "Oh, Mr. Henry, you scared me to death. What's the matter with me in such a hurry?"

Henry said to him with a serious face: "Captain Hawke, I think we are going to be in some trouble. The seabirds on the mast are panicked, and according to Robert's observation, the clouds in the distance are obviously abnormal. I predict that the storm will come soon. It’s coming, and not on a small scale.”

The captain immediately turned pale when he heard the news, and said angrily, "Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be so smooth. Well, don't worry too much Mr. Employer, at least you did one right thing and bought this big boat .At least ordinary storms won't do anything to her.

Hawke brought his employer and Robert to the restaurant, and most of the sailors were still drinking and chatting. He walked to the center and clapped his hands. "Be quiet! I have a bad announcement to make. According to observations, a storm is coming. Everyone move! Chief mate, take someone to the cargo hold to tie up our supplies and tools. Boatswain, take the crew Go to the deck and roll up the sails. Also fix everything on it. Everyone prepares a rope to tie their waists, and when the storm comes, find a strong place to tie themselves firmly." The captain commanded in an orderly manner Then everyone began to prepare for the storm.

Near midnight, the storm came as expected, and the originally mild sea changed in an instant. The huge waves made the boat roll up and down, and it felt like it might capsize at any time. The dwarf and the brown bear trapped themselves on the posts of the cabin, and Amy and Robert tied themselves to the hammock hanging on the hull. Henry cast a flying spell on himself on the deck to help those who fell into the water without being tied tightly. Captain Hawk was at the helm alone, using his rich experience to steer the entire ship to follow the fluctuations of the waves. In this way, the hull rupture caused by the rollover of the ship can be prevented to the greatest extent.

Henry rescued all those who fell into the water and was trapped under the mainmast. The sailors thanked him loudly. After rescuing people, he went to the bottom of the cabin, and performed several iron-wood techniques on the weak parts of the bottom of the ship. This spell can make ordinary wood as hard as steel, so that the ship will not sink due to water leakage. We have done everything we can now, and it depends on when the storm will pass. He came to the cockpit and saw that the captain was manipulating the rudder with steady hands, and the violent shaking of the ship did not affect him at all.

Henry flew over and smiled and said to him, "Hi! Captain Hawke, it seems that I made the right choice to hire you."

The captain gave a wry smile. "I don't think I've made the right choice at all. Look at this terrible storm. Our boat will leak at the bottom."

"Don't worry, Captain, I just went to the bottom of the cabin to see that there is no water leak and I even cast iron wood on the weak spot. Within 24 hours, the entire bottom of the ship will be as strong as steel."

After hearing the news, Captain Hawk also laughed. "Haha, this is the best news I've ever heard in my life. Since we don't have any worries, let's enjoy this rare storm!"

After talking with the captain, he came to the deck alone to look at this great power. This is the far sea, so the power of Talos, the god of storm, and Amber, the goddess of the sea, cannot affect this sea area. This is pure force of nature, and as a druid, he can clearly feel it. The storm lasted all night, and finally passed when the sky was slightly bright. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after putting on the clothes, and the captain even ordered to check the whole ship and found that there was no problem, then opened up the drinks and food and began to celebrate.

After walking through the storm area, Henry discovered that the area just now was a place where a tropical cyclone rose sharply. No wonder Chanem also encountered a similar encounter in the game. This kind of place will form a storm almost every few days and it is inevitable. It seems that there can be a safe buffer time after getting the island. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to pass through this sea area safely. Just as he was thinking wildly, the watchman rang the alarm bell and shouted loudly: "Land! Land is found ahead!"

All the people who put on the clothes ran out until twenty minutes later, everyone saw the scene in front of them, a lush tropical island. Henry found Hawke. "Mr. Captain, I suggest stopping the ship to take a rest. The storm last night made the sailors very tired. I will go up to scout first." The captain agreed to his request and then announced to the whole crew. Everyone understood very well. With the captain's kindness, they each found a place to sleep.

After the ship dropped anchor, Henry blessed himself with an invisibility spell and a flying spell to reach high altitude. After he reached a height of 500 meters, he scouted around and found that there was more than one island at all, Angomey was an archipelago. It consists of two huge islands, the largest of which is about 30,000 square kilometers, and the small one is about 21,000 kilometers. There are about 30 small islands scattered around, and they are not far apart. This is really a huge territory. Although it has not been actually occupied, it already belongs to Henry in his heart.

He scouted the Big Island first, in his mind werewolves would live in larger places first. It turned out that there was nothing left to be noticed except some wild animals and a large lake. Then he came to a small island, where he found a werewolf village and a large piece of farmland. Seeing this large village with nearly 6,000 people, he began to feel that he was cheated by the game. He thought that a village with only a dozen people in the game would have at most a few hundred people in reality, but after thinking about it, the original werewolves had multiplied here for five hundred years and it was not outrageous to have such a large number. He needs to adjust his plans.

After confirming the target, Henry returned to the ship, and everyone recovered after a few hours of rest. He asked the captain to anchor the ship in a natural harbor on the Big Island, because it could avoid the sight of the opposite island. After landing, the sailors shouted happily and hunted down some nearby wild animals and started the beach barbecue. Henry also paid the other half of the remuneration and added bonuses to the sailors, and everyone's morale was high. —————————————————————————————————
