Chapter 1027 Voyage
An inexplicably weird experience.
Lu Li summed it up like this.
However, this kind of thing has been seen a lot, and it can be accepted. Besides, there is no mandatory order requiring him to find out the truth.
Ever since, the steam traffic boat officially set sail.
Nautical charts, sextants, bipods, protractors, parallel rulers and other instruments, as well as iconic celestial bodies that can be clearly seen after the fog has passed.
Lu Li was convinced that they were driving on the correct course in theory.
Of course, during this process, the possibility of encountering other traffic boats is very small. After all, a small angle/error that is almost negligible is enough to make the deviation between them very far.
What's more, Lu Li temporarily changed his target.
Directly drive this steamship named [Black Emperor] to the city where Miskatonic University is located.
It is worth mentioning that it is located in the town of Arkham, but it is not Massachusetts——
There is no government in the New World, only independent city-states, similar to those in ancient Greece.
Among them, Arkham is located on the northern coast and can be reached directly by boat.
"This school is at the forefront of the universe in professional fields such as archaeology, occultism, history, and psychology, even people in other worlds have heard of it."
"Moreover, the University of Michigan often organizes and sponsors many exploration activities..."
On the deck, the elementary school boy was talking about Mia about the University of Michigan, hoping that she could join, not just as a student.
Maybe they are recruiting janitors there?
When mentioning [Other Worlds], Yang Kai subconsciously turned his attention to Lu Li, because this senior didn't seem to care about his identity being exposed.
But Ms. Mia noticed the deep meaning in it, she was a little surprised, and felt that it was reasonable.
"Ah... when will I change back... I can't bear this form."
The little mouse made a home in Lu Li's hair, and now it was rolling again.
"Be patient for now. When I go to the library of the University of Michigan, I will find a way to find traces of those ancient materials."
"Okay, please."
The mind can finally be quiet for a moment.
Ahead, darkness shrouded the sea, and a mass of thick clouds was expanding outwards, making the sky hang down as if it was within reach.
This kind of scene can often be seen on the sea, so there is no need to think about it too much. Lu Li very calmly reduced the speed of the ship, bringing it close to a standstill, and then quietly waited for the storm to pass.
"According to this speed, we will have another twenty days to arrive."
"And the coal can only last for another ten days, and we have to go to this place to complete the supply halfway."
Even though he couldn't move forward due to the weather, Lu Li still devoted himself to his work...
There is no way, other than being in charge of the boiler and obeying his own arrangement, and shoveling coal in it, the elementary school boy will only eat, drink and sleep.
Miss Mia can be an eye-catching vase.
The little mouse can be used as a pet and dance to make yourself happy.
An island visible to the naked eye is marked on the nautical chart, and the narration reads:
Resource islands, anarchy.
Just a two-word hint.
"It feels dangerous." The little mouse squatted on the top of its head, staring at the nautical chart for a while, and added: "Listen to that guy, wherever you go, there will be murders, and many people will die."
That rascal?
There are only juniors.
When I first came to this world, I encountered a series of disemboweling cases, followed by a man-made plague, and then boarded the Titan, where the huge ship that claimed to be unsinkable sank into the sea, and then a series of strange encounters recently...
Sometimes, Lu Li also wondered if he was the source of disaster for walking.
"It's not so unlucky."
"Believe me."
As he said that, Lu Li put away the nautical chart, raised his hand to grab the gray-haired rat that was casting questioning glances, and walked towards the restaurant.
An escape boat that can accommodate hundreds of people, but now only three people and one mouse live in it. You can imagine how beautiful life is.
And the following storm seemed to be giving Lu Li a lot of face, it didn't hit this side, it just touched the edge...
"Let me tell you, that was just an accident."
After the rain, the sun shines.
Looking at the clear and cloudless sky, Lu Li poured himself a bottle of fruit wine, then went back to the captain's cabin and began to steer the helm alone.
In this way, time passed day by day.
On the way, the group came across many deserted islands that had not been marked on the map, and some of them even had relics of ancient humans. Lu Li vaguely saw the Holy Light Werewolf, the cross, and sometimes even the singing mouse moving on the murals. turn up.
a dream?
Not quite.
Maybe that Dagon made a mistake.
It is not ruled out that Lu Li misunderstood.
However, the matter has come to this point, thinking too much is purely torturing oneself, so everyone subconsciously forgets about it, and wait until the corresponding situation occurs in the future.
After the storm, the eleventh day.
"Sure enough, it's impossible for people to be unlucky all the time."
Seeing the huge rocky island in sight getting farther and farther away, Lu Li couldn't help feeling that that was the supply station he had marked on the nautical chart eleven days ago.
If something unexpected happens, then he will be confirmed as the son of misfortune. Fortunately, it turns out that there is no direct connection between him and misfortune.
The resource-based neutral island is full of serious businessmen who are a little bit philistine. They clearly mark the price and sell various minerals.
In the end, Lu Li exchanged a fist-sized piece of gold for high-quality coal enough to sail for fifteen days, and both parties in the transaction were satisfied with each other.
"Peace has gone through most of the journey, and I hope to continue to maintain this momentum in the future."
Yang Kai held the champagne in his arms. He kept a little drunk every day, so that he would not be dominated by negative emotions such as fear and boredom.
Thanks to alcohol, I can sleep well every night, and never once did I dream of Cthulhu Paganism and what happened in that island city in the unconscious stage.
In order to avoid any possible accidents, Lu Li hadn't touched the book published by the University of Michigan for a long time. Sometimes, he suspected that the death of the Titan and the sudden fall of the fog had something to do with the book...
I, who hadn't dreamed for a long time, had a weird dream before the disaster broke out, and before that, the last serious thing I did was to smoke refreshing tobacco and read taboo knowledge.
"Being infested by the cold air and the thick mist of moisture for a long time, I have already suffered from joint pain..."
On the rudder of the boat, the little mouse propped its head up and looked into the distance, its tail was raised weakly, and it was talking crazy.
"Drinking again?" Smelling the faint smell, Lu Li said helplessly, "If you persist for a few more days, we'll go ashore."
"oh."
The gray tail swayed slightly: "Eating canned food every day, I think it's good to fall into a long sleep, Xiaoion, let's continue telling the story, don't talk about the Japanese invasion of Japan, it hurts my head."
"Then tell me, what do you want to hear?"
After speaking, Lu Li took a sip of his strong coffee and looked at the sea level in the distance.
In the setting sun, a line of white seabirds passed by.
