Scene 421 The city that should not exist(1/2)

The shadows gathering in the sky are like a big hole. Looking at the storm that is nurturing from afar can give people a huge sense of oppression. The dark clouds are their minions and scales, and the lightning and thunder are their dreams and breathing.

The strong winds and huge waves that emerge from fantasy are just its heartbeat and pulse.

The wind and waves were unknown at what level, but they formed one mountain-like wave after another in the sea of ​​clouds, mixed with the rain in the clouds and smashed everyone to the face, pouring them all over.

The mist is sweeping over, although it is above the sky and sea, it is no different from sailing in the real ocean.

Moreover, the ups and downs on the clouds are often more spectacular, and the waves can even roll up a drop of hundreds of meters. Sometimes it is like a mountain that stands tall and is crushed to pieces in a blink of an eye.

The power of nature makes people as small as dust—

Tianlan was talking nonsense: "Wow, is the sky going to collapse??"

A wave swept across, and everyone on the deck fell down - fortunately, people tied the rope net so they would not be thrown out.

The hull made a terrible tremor, almost thinking that it was about to disintegrate.

If it is in the real sea, this will be enough to be called a sailboat split.

Fortunately, the impact of cloud waves is far less than that of real sea waves. The Qihai Traveler's name is like a leaf rising and falling among the clouds without overturning.

What is really troublesome is the disordered wind element—

The turbulent flow hidden under the clouds is what sailors fear the most on the sea. Once the wind element is unbalanced, the sailboat will immediately encounter a disaster.

"Miss Cui Xisi, Valve!"

Cui Xisi was quick-eyed and quickly rushed forward to open the valve.

The exhaust port emits a sharp sound of air, and steam shoots out like an arrow, so that more gas that has no time to escape overflows from the gaps in the pipeline.

It was filled with fog.

The scholar coughed a few times in the fog. She watched the pointer spin around nervously and clattered each pressure gauge, at least three of which were already under overload operation.

Jita couldn't help but turn around and reminded: "Miss Tata, it's going to be overloaded!"

But what came along the catheter was Fang Yu's voice: "Don't bother her, I'm counting."

As the captain of the Qihai Traveler, he was getting up from the deck and staring at the moody and angry Kōkai.

The sailor hung on the rope net and shouted urgently: "Sir Captain, there are waves in the direction of starboard at two o'clock!"

Fang Zhu quickly walked to the side of the ship, grabbed the side of the ship with one hand, and watched the mountainous clouds forming, and immediately issued an order: "Full the right rudder and greet the bow of the ship."

The shipmaster acted as he said.

"It will be too late," the Papara people jumped in a hurry, "We are dead!"

Fang Zhu asked the fairy lady in his heart, "Miss Tata?"

"It's still supportive," the fairy lady's voice was still calm as usual. "I will maintain the status of the Qihai Traveler, but the calculation of the wind element layer can only be handed over to Mr. Knight."

"Leave it to me." Fang Yu nodded and looked at Silweid on the side.

"There is land ahead." She said concisely.

"If a window appears, remind me." Fang Zhu said.

Silweid nodded.

The floating ship was turning, facing the huge waves that were rising like mountains, and the sky blue screams were ringing.

But the poet subconsciously helped to grab the cable.

Seeing this scene, Adni's mind was a little blank for a moment.

She only knew that the storm was surrounded by strong winds and huge waves all year round, but she never expected that such a terrible situation would happen after entering the island chain. She even felt a little regret in her heart. Did she come too early?

Baggins was nervously watching the hydrological situation.

This bad weather is rare even in the second world. What happened in this sea area? In the past, he also traveled with the Jazz, but Han Rui was far from as dangerous and mysterious as he is now.

The prayers in everyone's heart seemed to be answered. The bow of the Shihai Traveler's ship separated the clouds and mist. Under the support of the wind element, it seemed as if it was slowly climbing a mountain and following the ridge of the waves to the top.

The Qihai Traveler drove on the ridge of the huge waves, and the scenery on both sides was even more shocking, like a group of waves surging in the valley, forming their own different directions.

The turbulence even formed whirlpools, and the sea of ​​clouds became a mess.

A black line appeared in the sky, which was where the land was. It was just the waves and dark wind and rain that obscured the sight, making the huge island looming.

"Ed, there is a safe waterway to the left, and there should be a headland."

"You might find a safe haven behind the headland."

Silvede looked in that direction and spoke quickly.

"How did you see it?"

"I saw the offshore current and gave it to me. Baggins should be very familiar with the hydrological conditions of these."

Fang Yu nodded. The importance of a good navigator was revealed in such a situation. He could calculate the situation below the wind element layer, but what the currents on the shore were like can only rely on experienced experience.

Baggins crawled down from the internet and glanced at the young man with admiration.

In the past, Fang Zhu satisfied him in all aspects, but he was not as respectful as this moment.

For sailors who have overcome the wind and waves for a long time, a person who dares to judge in difficulties and lead them out of them is often the best captain.

"A wonderful voyage," he said, "the captain already has the ability of a jazz, and the second world is also worth going to."

The sailor praised it sincerely.

The most dangerous storms in the second world are nothing like this.

Fang Rong accepted it calmly, but he also understood that he had a far superior understanding of ether theory than ordinary sailors and captains, and had such powerful computing power, which gave him many advantages in front of ordinary navigators.

But Silvede glanced at him and reminded softly: "Be careful to turn around."

"I know."

Fang Zhu is not arrogant.

After passing through the huge waves, the situation behind became easier. The Qihai Traveler glided along the wave surface. As expected, as the noble daughter expected, she encountered the offshore current soon.

The strong offshore current pushed the sailboat forward, and Fang Zhu did not force Miss Tata to get rid of it, because the offshore tide would eventually take them back to land.

After approaching the land verge, the wind and waves suddenly decreased a lot, as if passing through a mysterious barrier, and the barrier became calmer.

Adnie then came back to her senses from the storm waves before her, and looked at the magical scene in front of her and said: "The storm and the storm bay surround the Storm Bay, but they also protect this place. The Aoshu people in the northern border all believed that they had divine power to protect this place."

"This scene is indeed a miracle," Fang Yum was skeptical when he heard the casting lady describe the situation here before, until now he saw it with his own eyes.

He hadn't figured out why this was happening here. Maybe it was because of the barrier, or maybe it was other reasons, but it was not important. There were too many magical places in Aitalia, and this place was nothing compared to it.

It is wise for the pirate king to choose this place as a secret base. There are storms around the outside as a natural cover. The inner waves are as flat as mirrors, but I don’t know how the other party discovered this kind of place.

However, Fang Ling was not in a hurry. All questions would always be answered. After they came to the island, they would naturally unveil the veil here.

Silmide previously said that there would be a quiet bay behind the headland.

Although the storm had receded, Fang Zhu decided to stop the Qihai Traveler there - everyone could already see the headland that broke into the Kansai, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast, standing among the clouds.

There is a forest above the cape, with rocks near the cliffs, and there are sea birds living on it - Fang Zhu recognized it as a black-backed seagull and a black-browed albatross, but the sharp-eyed sky blue found an unusual thing on the tip of the cape:

"Look at it, it's a lighthouse!"

The place where the poet pointed to did look like the ruins of a lighthouse. However, only half seemed to be left, and the upper half was completely collapsed, leaving the broken walls on the base, and covered with withered vines.

This discovery surprised everyone else. Will the Aboriginal people have a lighthouse? But Adnie said that this is William's secret hiding place, and there are only some natives on the island, and the lighthouse does not look like such a primitive product.

It seems to be a common architectural style in imperial cities.

"Can it be the pirate king left it?" Luo Hao threw the rope on the deck, looked up at that direction, and asked.

"Impossible," Adni looked over there in surprise and shook her head. "William only has a secret port on this island. In order not to reveal the secrets of his treasure house, he didn't even tell him how he could build a lighthouse with great fanfare."

"What era is this lighthouse from? Can you tell?"

No one on the boat understood this, so Fang Yu had to notify the naturalist lady to come up to the deck, and Cui Xisi, who was unknown, also followed.

Just now, she thought she was going to be buried in the fish's belly, but in the end she was shocked and safe.

She couldn't help but look at these people for a while, "I didn't expect that they really know how to sail. There are not many teams who can travel between the air and the sea at this level."

"That's the architecture of the empire, the leader," Jita flipped through the book and recognized the architectural style at a glance. "To be precise, lighthouse styles like the Northland are very common, but they look a bit old."

It can be seen from the growth of vegetation that this lighthouse has been abandoned for many years, but it has not been as long as a century. Before the alchemy reform, the imperialists had never used this lighthouse based on magic technology.

Everyone was still sure why this lighthouse appeared in this place, and the Qihai Traveler had slowly sailed to the other side of the cape. After crossing the corner of the ground, a beautiful scenery was presented to everyone.

As Silmide expected, behind the headland is a secluded bay with beautiful scenery and forests, but between the mountains is a white port city.

A... an imperial city.

Looking at this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

The caster girl was the first to react and blurted out: "This... cannot be possible. There has never been any information mentioned in the city of empires in the Storm Islands, let alone here... This is William's hiding place..."

"Calm down, Ms. Adnie," Fang Zhuo was much calmer than hers, "This port is abandoned."

He looked at the port from afar. The city had lost its vitality. The pier and trek into the sky and the pier were empty. There were neither people nor sailboats, but only a dead ruin, just like the dead lighthouse.

The city is full of green vegetation, and grass and trees grow together with cracked ruins. Shady vines crawl over the white walls, tree canopies cover the streets and alleys, the sea breeze blows, and the harbor makes a rustling sound, which makes a strange beauty from a distance.
To be continued...
