Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 737: Exploration

Although the piracy industry has become extremely prosperous because of robbing the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty and the merchant ships of various countries. Although the countries secretly supported the pirates and sold their stolen goods for the pirates, compared with the huge profits made by the Tang people, they were still a drop in the bucket. The countries are not satisfied with the fact that the Tang people control the routes and set the price rules, but they don't have the courage to fight. Because the thousands of warships operating in the Mediterranean alone are daunting. Even so, in the face of such enviable overseas trade, the governments of various countries are also thinking of opening up a new route to the east, thereby breaking the monopoly position of the Tang people.

As a result, the countries located on the Iberian Peninsula, the British Isles, and even North Africa, Morocco, and Italy began a road of foreign exploration. With a lot of money and huge profits, they promised official positions and titles, recruited navigators for long-distance voyage exploration, and opened up a new route to the East.

Stimulated by a lot of money and official titles, many navigators who boasted of their unique skills and ambitions came to the palaces of various countries to meet them. They talked endlessly before the thrones of the monarchs of various countries, talking about their expertise and the materials and personnel they needed to bring. At the same time, it is required to build brand new voyage ships for their exploration. The countries that are jealous of the huge profits from overseas trade have agreed to the requirements of these navigators, selected the best high-quality wood, and built new ships for long-distance voyages. Thanks to sharing part of the interests of Suez, the European countries are obviously richer in parallel time and space, and their technology has also been greatly improved.

These navigators received the support of the government, and then selected crew members with excellent quality and strong martial arts skills, and drove new ships to explore new routes overseas.

They will not go to the Mediterranean Sea, let alone pass through the Suez Canal in the Egyptian province of the Tang Dynasty, but take the Atlantic route to explore. These navigators are ambitious, looking forward to high officials and titles, and with longing dreams, they go to sea to explore routes. However, sailing in the open sea is extremely difficult, especially in the Atlantic Ocean, where storms are frequent and extremely dangerous. After they go to sea, they must face the threat from the sea and the limited supply of materials. But also endure the physical pressure and mental test.

However, this group of navigators who dare to explore the unknown are different from ordinary people. The same is true of the crew members they personally selected. They have been sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, drawing charts and recording hydrological and other information along the way, as important reference conditions. If there is no accident, this group of navigators who explored abroad will finally arrive at the new continent later named "America". But it is a pity that the history of this world has changed greatly, and it is already different from the history derived in parallel time and space. The navigators who explored abroad encountered rare storms and waves in the Atlantic Ocean. The ships were precarious in the violent winds and waves, and they might capsize at any time.

On the rough sea, the strong wind and huge waves seemed like a sea giant was angry. Its fiery temper changed the color of the sea, and the rolled up waves seemed to be the palm of a sea giant, trying to overturn the little bugs that were flying on it.

"Captain, the wind and waves are too strong, what should we do?" First mate Smith staggered all the way, holding on to the things on the boat, and walked to the poop side with difficulty and shouted loudly to Captain Agarit. At the moment of the storm, his voice was almost covered even by roaring.

Agarit also yelled loudly, "Tighten the rope, take care of the sails, and tell everyone to persevere and pay attention to your own safety. The storm will pass, we must persevere. Just hold on to this wave, We'll be safe."

"Yes!" The first mate Smith also understood that in such a once-in-a-century storm, it was useless for him to ask the captain what to do. Because of human power, it is too small compared to nature in rage. Asking the captain is just asking for psychological comfort. He began to order the crew, repeating what the captain said just now.

Pop, whoosh!

"The cable is broken!"

The ropes that fasten the sail are battered by the wind,

The inevitable break, and its break also tilted the bulging sail to the side, and the ship's course began to deviate. The captain was shocked when he saw this, and he yelled and ordered the sailors to fasten the cables again, but the broken rope looked like a snake, and the strong wind gave it great strength. One crew member was caught off guard and hit by a rope. In an instant, his body seemed to be hit by a high-speed truck. His body weighing more than 100 kilograms flew in the air like a feather, and then fell into the vast sea. Whether the captain or the crew saw this scene, they all understood that the crew had no chance of survival.

Pop, whoosh.

The nightmares seemed to come one after another. After the first rope broke, several more ropes broke one after another. With the scene just now, the sailors are naturally cautious, doubly wary of these ropes empowered by the strong wind. They tried their best to fix the broken rope again, but the rope, which was given kinetic energy by the wind, was flying and bumping in the air, and the sailors couldn't grasp the rope at all. The deviation of the sail surface also caused the ships to deviate from their established routes.

"Whirlpool, big whirlpool!!!"

"What!!!"

Captain Agarit heard the terrified cries of the sailors, and immediately went to the poop. He took out his binoculars and looked at the sea in the distance. I saw that right in front of their voyage, there was a huge sea vortex blocking their way.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, fucking turn the rudder!!!" Agarit yelled in horror. Encountering such a huge sea vortex, once their ships encounter such a huge sea vortex, the chance of survival is zero. He roared, and at the same time quickly ran over, personally manipulating the ship to try to avoid the sea vortex ahead. However, the tilt of the sail and the breaking of the rope made it extremely difficult for him to turn the ship. At the same time, the continuous impact of strong winds and huge waves made the handling and driving of the boat more difficult. But at this moment, a tooth-piercing sound sounded and a prominent black shadow tilted, making Agarit unable to help looking at the mast. It was leaning there, but before she could speak, the mast began to snap!

"It's over!"

He has been sailing all year round, so he naturally knows what it means once the mast breaks. If it is a calm time, there is still time to repair, even if it is a small storm, he can make the crew make emergency repairs. However, here is a violent ocean, and at this time, a once-in-a-century storm is happening, it is impossible to give him some time to make emergency repairs!

At the last glance, what Agarit saw was the boat under his feet, pushed by the wind and waves into the sea vortex. Afterwards, there was a whirlwind and the screams of the crew, he looked to both sides and clearly saw that the ship was dragged in by the sea vortex and gradually swallowed. In front of his eyes, a burst of darkness surged, and Agarit lost his sanity.
