Chapter 2561 Sudden Changes

Many years ago, Joan, Hailar and the Zion siblings took a boat expedition on the sea together. On the way, they met a family of dwarves living on Lilliput Island, and helped the Lilliput people deal with their old enemy Harpy. Therefore, they received a thank-you gift from Queen Minnie - each with a magic hat that can shrink in size.

Joan didn't know whether the pointed hat on the golden monkey's head belonged to Hyrule or Holden, but it must be a Lilliputian miniature hat, because she herself had the same hat.

No matter how big the original body is, as long as you put on this magic hat, you can immediately shrink to the size of a Lilliputian. No wonder the giant ape has become so small.

At this time, Qiao Ann saw a pair of young men and women walking down the bridge and walking all the way to the deck, arguing as they walked, calling each other "Little Rascal" and "Miss Money", could it be Holden and Hailaer? .

Seeing the two long-lost friends, a faint smile appeared in Qiao An's eyes.

"Little rascal, no matter what, I can no longer hide it for you. I must write back to your sister as soon as possible, telling Audrey that you are on our boat, so that she can feel at ease."

"No, no, no! Sister Cai Fan, you are being too disrespectful! At least wait until I get to Freeport, and you can write back to my sister after I get off the ship, okay?"

"Of course not! I always feel sorry for Audrey for delaying your reply until you disembark. After all, she is my best friend. You have to go back a little bit, at most, third!"

Hailar looked upright.

Finding that the pleading was invalid, Mr. Poet couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation. He turned around and climbed onto the bow, facing the whistling sea wind, he spread his arms and shouted loudly:

"Sister who is a money fan! One must be loyal! If you tell my sister the truth, I will jump from here, and I would rather drown than take your boat! I will do what I say!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha~"

Hailaer shook her ponytails, put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.

"Little rascal! Today I don't believe in evil, you dance, you dance for me if you are a man!"

Dolly the parrot was not afraid of big troubles when she watched the excitement, so she also flew over to fight the fire.

"Jump! Jump!"

"Look how blue the vast sea is!"

"You are jumping!"

"Hey! Don't be like this, please! If you do this again, I'll be really angry!" Holden stood at the bow of the boat, neither jumping nor jumping was inappropriate, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

Even King Kong joined in the booing, squatting on the barrel, scratching his ears and cheeks, leaning forward and back with joy.

Mr. Poet couldn't help becoming angry, and turned his head to stare at King Kong: "Ah? What's the matter with you? Why are you joining in the fun! Stinky monkey! Give me back the hat!"

King Kong hurriedly covered the pointed cap of the Lilliputian on his head, and quickly climbed up the mast, as if he was afraid that Mr. Poet would take back the magic hat that would allow him to transform from a giant ape into a "little monkey" form.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumble of cannons in the distance.

A shell happened to land near the bow of the "Herlinghorn", and the splashing waves suddenly sprayed Holden's face, scaring him almost to fall into the water.

"What, what's going on here?" Mr. Poet looked around in a panic, "What happened just now, it scared me!"

"Idiot! Standing so high, you are not afraid of being bombarded to death by cannons. Come down!"

Hailaer tore Holden off the bow, grabbed the binoculars and looked towards the sea area where the gunfire came from, his expression changed involuntarily.

"Damn it! It's a warship! The destroyer of Master Fei!"

"Notify the captain quickly! Run away!"

The sailors on the deck couldn't help but panic when they heard the gunfire.

Captain Green rushed to the bow quickly, took a look through the binoculars handed by his daughter, and waved his hands to reassure everyone not to panic.

"The enemy ship is still five nautical miles away, and there is only one ship. The probability of the ship's guns hitting us is very small."

"There is only one enemy ship?" Holden rubbed his hands excitedly, "Mr. Captain, then there is nothing to worry about. Let's take the initiative to meet and kill the enemy ship!"

Captain Green shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's a new type of armored destroyer with a sail and steam dual power system. In addition to a cannon at the bow and stern, there are also ten 32-pound naval guns on both sides of the ship. The boat can't win."

"Wow... so powerful, let's run quickly!" Mr. Poet wiped his cold sweat.

Captain Green nodded, and immediately ordered the navigator to turn the rudder, and the "Herringhorn" fully hoisted its sails, turned around to the west, and fled to Freeport at full speed.

The southeast wind was blowing at sea, and the escape route of the "Herlinghorn" happened to be downwind, and the bulging white sails provided sufficient power. Even though the enemy ships behind were boosted by steam boilers, their speed was not faster than that of the "Herlinghorn" How many.

The two warships were chasing each other in the blue sea, maintaining a distance of about five nautical miles.

In order to speed up the speed, the destroyers on Feizhen's side had to suspend their shelling, which made the fleeing "Herlinghorn" no worries.

If this continues, they will be able to return to the sea area controlled by the Continental Army before nightfall. At that time, if the enemy ships do not give up their pursuit, they will fall into the siege of the pirate fleet instead, and they will not be able to protect themselves.

At this moment, the weather at sea suddenly changed in a direction that was not conducive to the "Herlinghorn".

The originally clear sky was quickly shrouded in dark clouds, dull thunder roared, and then it rained heavily.

The wind direction at sea also reversed accordingly, and the oncoming westerly wind brought great resistance to the "Herlinghorn". Captain Green had to order the sails to be retracted, and the speed plummeted.

Behind them, Feizhen's destroyer also lowered its mainsail, but the magic crystal steam turbine showed great value in this headwind environment. The propeller stirred up the waves, and the speed almost did not drop compared with the downwind, just like a split wave The steel giant shark chasing the waves keeps approaching its prey.

"This doesn't look like a normal weather change!"

Ms. Kate looked up at the stormy sky with a very serious expression on her face.

"There is at least one high-level spellcaster on the enemy ship. Just now, he cast the 7th-level spell 'Manipulating the Weather' to cause wind and rain, which caused us great trouble."

"Ms. Kate, you are a level 13 druid, you should be able to cast spells to eliminate the bad weather that is not good for us?" Holden asked earnestly.

"It's possible, but it's not very useful."

Lady Kate, who had been navigating the Herlinghorn for several years, knew she had a formidable opponent.

"It takes at least ten minutes to prepare to cast 'Manipulate the Weather', and when the spellcaster on the enemy ship notices the weather change, they will cast the same spell to counter it, and the result is that nothing changes until one of them takes the lead This tug-of-war will end only after exhausting all the 'manipulating the weather' or 7th-level spell slots prepared in advance."
