Chapter 524: Meili Sauce
After the Orkney ship was attacked by Sun Knight Gawain's "Rotating Sword of Victory", it was finally free from the attack of those annoying harpies, and was able to calm down on the sea. sailed south for two days.
Now, however, they finally ran into a little trouble again.
That's actually because the weather at sea today is not so good, and it seems that there are some signs before the storm...
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky are thick and rolling, they directly cover the sunlight that shines down, and now the sea wind is very strong, and the waves are a bit big, but it is not yet enough to stop the boat to find a place Go to the point of shelter from the wind. Therefore, this medium-sized warship of Orkney County, this lone boat on the sea, is still quickly cutting through the wind and waves, and is still stubbornly driving on the turbulent sea.
"..."
When he started to notice the weather was different, Gao Wen had been worried that it would rain!
Because he knew that when the sea-going ship encountered heavy wind and heavy rain at sea, it would be a disaster... At that time, no one in the whole ship would be able to rest!
And when it started to rain heavily, not only the sailors on the deck had to check the sails and cables non-stop, but all the people in the cabins below the deck also had to use various tools to drain water out of the boat, Whether it's pots and pans or wooden buckets and spoons... Otherwise, if the water is continuously poured into the cabin along the various hatches or deck gaps, it will sink if it reaches a certain level.
Although wood can float on the sea, this does not include this sea ship full of people, horses and various supplies!
Of course, that bad situation doesn't happen now...
Because Gao Wen saw that apart from the cloudy sky and strong wind and waves, there seemed to be no other conditions here. Although the sky looked like it was going to rain, it didn't seem to be raining...even if The dark clouds have always been very dense, preventing the sunlight from shining down during the day, but they just roll with the wind so willfully.
So, with some doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to stagger to the bow, and found the middle-aged man who could stand firmly without holding on to the side of the boat or other things.
Although almost everyone in Orkney County, which is located in the archipelago, is proficient in water, is not unfamiliar with wind and waves, and will not suffer from seasickness, but Gao Wen, who rarely goes to sea all year round, is sure of his ability on sea ships. Nothing compares to these fast and busy sailors and the captain.
"Captain, is this an impending storm?"
"Will something happen to the boat? Do we need to find a place to shelter from the wind, or avoid the coming heavy rain?!"
After grabbing a cable, Gao Wen turned to the captain who was standing at the bow, staring at the front with wide eyes, and from time to time shouted various orders to the helmsman behind the ship and asked.
Now they are not very far from the coastline on the right. If possible, he hopes to find a suitable place to anchor the boat and shelter from the wind, so as to avoid the coming or possible storm! After all, there are three brothers and sisters of Gao Wen and a total of fifty powerful heavy armored knights and cavalry in this ship right now, so don't accidentally overturn them all into the sea!
At that time, although the entire army may not be wiped out directly, it is certain that the casualties will be heavy, and he will never take that risk!
"No,
It's not raining now! "
"Your Highness! Here, these damn clouds are what they are. These are just ordinary sea breezes, they are not storms!"
Originally, as the captain, he didn't need to stay at the bow to check the sea conditions ahead, but somehow, one of their ship's most experienced watchmen with the best eyes, also known as the 'Eagle Eye', the day before yesterday He was captured by those damn harpies!
Now, it is estimated that the unlucky guy is about to become the excrement of monsters?
Because of this, and because they have now lost the eyes that claim to be able to see the farthest distance, and the useless smart ghost who just replaced the lookout position on the top of the mast, the hull of the current ship is shaken violently by the strong wind Under the circumstances, it is estimated that he has already been shaken dizzily and lying in the observation deck trembling, right?
Therefore, as the captain, he must not entrust the lives of the entire ship to that stupid guy above, so he can only run to the bow of the ship by himself, intending to guide the helmsman behind him out of this dangerous sea area. He wasn't actually afraid of storms, but he had to be afraid of those damned rocks!
"But Captain, the wind is so strong now, even if it doesn't rain, it should be a good choice for us to find a place where we can take shelter from the wind?"
"Look! Ahead, in the distance...the waves there are bigger than here!"
Gao Wen looked at the sails that were blown up by the strong wind, and then looked at the captain in front of him who could stand firmly on the bow with only two legs. After thinking about it, he still loudly suggested to the other party. .
In his opinion, they don't have to be in a hurry to fight. It doesn't seem to have any effect to arrive at Camelot two days earlier or two days later. It's better to find a place to take shelter from the wind and rest until tomorrow is calm. Now, isn't it the same as setting sail in comfort?
"Your Highness, you are thinking too much!"
"We don't need to take shelter from the wind for the time being. Now we are driving with the wind, and then go a little further on the sea road for about half a day, pass a small place called Aiding, and then go to another sea area in front, the wind will naturally gradually decrease! This broken place, we call it the Howling Fjord, it’s just like this, it’s just that the weather didn’t catch up with the good weather today, and the wind is a little bit stronger!”
"So, please don't worry!"
"Believe me, it's still dangerous to be on the shore with us!"
After understanding what His Royal Highness said, the captain unceremoniously refuted the other party's proposal.
Now in this kind of place, he will not change course and lean over! Because, the shore is the territory of the barbarian Saxons, and it is still a densely populated area, where do they stop?
In case those crazy guys find out by accident, they will sneak up to them, and there will be hundreds of people on their boat, and no one will be able to escape by then! Regarding the matter of sailing, he would not listen to this terrible question, even if the other party was powerful, polite and deeply loved by them!
He would rather fight the storm in the Howling Fjord, and would rather be swayed by the strong wind and waves for half a day, than be caught by those barbarians as slaves or cut off his head with a 'click'!
"Also! Your Highness, you'd better go to the cabin and stay there. If you fall into the sea later, we won't be able to pick you up in such a big wave!"
Seeing that the other party staggered from time to time while holding onto the cable, the captain frowned and half-snarled and pointed in the direction of the cabin door.
This is not just nonsense. Under such circumstances, no matter who falls into the sea, they can only resign themselves to their fate and pray for God’s protection. No one can rescue them, let alone stop the boat!
In front of this violent sea, all living beings are equal!
Here, there are no princes and commoners, and there is no distinction between high and low, only life and death... Either, overcome these small storms and get a way of life; or sink in this sea area, and then... die! And this is the status quo of navigation in this world. People who go to sea, especially long-distance voyages, the danger involved is no less than a battle.
"Okay, Captain, you have the final say!!"
Panting heavily, he looked at the surrounding situation. Although he felt a little helpless, since the other party was sure that there would be no heavy rain, and there would be no bigger storm, Gao Wen had no choice but to nod. Turning around and holding on to the cables and mast guardrails, etc., as the waves undulated and swayed, and there was a groaning 'creak' sound when the wood twisted violently, it seemed that it was about to fall apart at any time. On the deck of the ship, I carefully touched it back. in the cabin.
Soon, there were only sailors who were still busy outside, as well as strong winds, big waves, and an old captain standing on the bow with his legs up and down with the ship.

The countries and territories in the southern part of Britain, for some unknown reason, suddenly began to become turbulent... The various lords who were originally a group of amiable people started to fight hard one after another, and I don't know why they were doing that?
The farmers in those places only knew that the lords ordered them to turn in more grain, and asked them to prepare weapons, armor and other things... Obviously, they must be preparing for war!
However, there is basically nothing going on here in the Kingdom of Camelot.
Arturia, who governs Camelot as a proxy and governs Camelot
