Chapter 551 Saint

Chapter 552 Saints

At the beginning, there were rough seas and heavy rain.

Even if the ether engine is running at full strength, it can still only move forward at a speed of twenty knots.

All but the essential crew were herded into the cabin to wait out the storm. Later, I don’t know when, the violent storm gradually dissipated.

After surviving the stormy waves, they had passed through the thick fog and entered the depths of the sunless sea.

Even late at night, there are no stars.

There was deathly silence and calm on the ocean, and even the waves had disappeared. The damp and cold wind blew from afar, blowing into the bone marrow, making people unbearably cold.

Here, it seems that the sound of breathing has been diluted and cannot be heard.

In the darkness, only a lonely light shines, illuminating the route ahead.

On the deck, Ye Qingxuan sat on a wet chair, looking at the silent ocean under the searchlight, silently thinking about something.

I don't know how long it took, but after his shift ended, Igor handed the rudder to the first mate, walked up to the deck with his collection of fine wine, and sat next to Ye Qingxuan.

"Mr. Ye, why don't you go to bed?"

"Can't sleep."

Ye Qingxuan shook his head, "The cabin is too thin, and the snoring from next door can be heard. Captain Igor, your boat is really good."

Igor was helpless: "Don't force yourself on others, Mr. Ye, this is just a clipper ship, not the sea fortress of Asgard.

It has just been launched, and it doesn’t even have a name. In order to accommodate your more than 300 people, I even demolished my captain's lounge. You should be more tolerant and don't dislike the sound of snoring. "

As he spoke, he swung his liquor:

"Come some?"

"OK."

The wine rippled in the cup.

Ye Qingxuan held the wine glass and looked at the sea: "When I was outside, I thought there would be rough waves everywhere, but I didn't expect it to be so quiet."

"yes."

Igor sighed, "It's like sailing on the River Styx."

"It's actually different."

Ye Qingxuan thought for a while and shook his head: "I have seen the River Styx, but it is not as big as this."

"Haha, Mr. Ye is really humorous."

Igor was amused and did not believe what he said.

Ye Qingxuan didn't pay attention, just listened and asked:

"Did you turn off the main engine? I can't hear the sound of the first wheel unit. At this speed, we can't reach Alderney tomorrow, right?"

"It doesn't matter, we were lucky enough to hitch a ride."

Igor shook his head nonchalantly and pointed to the sea below.

After sensing the thought thread for a moment, Ye Qingxuan suddenly realized:

"Ocean current?"

"That's right." Igor nodded.

The necessary skill for sailing on the sea is to be familiar with the paths of ocean currents.

“Every winter and summer, this ocean current will form from Eastern Tianzhu, carrying a large number of roving spawning fish, all the way through the Asgard Strait, passing through Anglia and the Caucasus, and finally to the East.

Its name is ‘Igni’, which means ‘Daughter of the Sea’ in Highland language. "

"I see."

"The previous estimated arrival time was tomorrow, but with her, we should be able to arrive in about four hours, right?"

Igor said: “However, I had heard about that place in Alderney and few people wanted to go there.

It was just a deserted island, no cities, nothing but some trees. It is not close to major shipping routes and does not even function as a transit hub.

Mr. Ye, aren't you eager to save Angel? Why go to that place? "

"Try your luck."

Ye Qingxuan answered calmly: "That's the fiefdom of a friend of mine. If he hadn't lied to me, I should be able to find a way to save this country there."

"..."

After hearing this, Igor couldn't help but shrug:

"Then good luck to you."

To be honest, he wished that Ye Qingxuan would just hang out outside every day and not go deep into the core. He had saved his whole life, owed a lot of loan sharks, and had many connections before he bought a new ship from the Holy City Shipyard.

Nowadays, the world has changed, and almost no ships are driven out to sea.

He also pointed out that he would make a lot of money by relying on it.

Although the commission Ye Qingxuan paid him was enough for him to repay the loan shark and even make a lot of extra money. But no one cares about having too much money, right?

Therefore, the more stable the better, it is best for everyone to go around twice, go home, and go back to whatever you want to do.

Of course, if you think about it with your buttocks, you know it's impossible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The world is tough. After clearing his name and landing ashore, he still has to do this kind of job that requires his life to make money. What is the difference between this and being a pirate in the Phantom Islands before?

He shook his head, drank wine, stopped thinking about it, and started chatting with Ye Qingxuan.

"Mr. Ye, you rarely go to sea, right?"

"Well, even though I grew up in Anglia, I didn't have many opportunities to ride on boats."

Ye Qingxuan took a sip of strong wine and said calmly: "When I first came to Avalon, I also took a boat like this, but that boat was already very old and very crowded.

One hundred pounds, only a bed in the bottom warehouse, and ten days of food and lodging. The toilet is shared and there is no way to take a shower. Within ten days, I almost went crazy. "

"Most of them are like that."

Igor shrugged, "When I was young, I dreamed of a broken ship that belonged to me. I would drive it, take my woman with me, and go wherever I wanted.

It's a pity that now that the boat is available, the woman has not yet been found. If I had known better, I would have found a few random bitches on the boat, which would have at least made it more lively. "

"Speaking of this, I remembered it."

Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "The ship I was on originally had special services."

"oh?"

Igor's eyes lit up: "How special?"

"Thirty pounds."

Ye Qingxuan raised three fingers: "For only thirty pounds, you can visit the captain's sheepfold for half an hour... I didn't understand much at the time, but when I heard the sound of sheep braying in the room, I thought everyone was caring. people.

Later I heard that a man felt that thirty pounds was too expensive, so after entering, he quietly shaved all the wool off the sheep. Then the captain got angry and everyone had no more sheep. "

After hearing this, Igor couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Oh, what a pity."

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a moment and smiled strangely, "However, the sailor told us that although there are no sheep, you can still go to the captain..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Igor laughed so hard that his yellow teeth almost fell off, and raised his glass: "To the great captain."

"To the great captain."

Ye Qingxuan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The empty wine glass was placed on the bench. Igor was about to pour the wine, but saw Ye Qingxuan wave his hand.

"I'm not a good drinker. This much is enough."

"That's a shame."

Igor didn't mind and drank directly from the bottle, "The rest is mine."

In the long silence, he finished his wine, reached out and threw the empty bottle into the sea, and suddenly asked: "Isn't it difficult to play a vicious person?"

"Huh?" Ye Qingxuan raised his head, "Why do you say that?"

"Because you don't look like it."

"Maybe that's my nature."

Igor sighed and pointed at his old face.

"Mr. Ye, I am forty-five years old."

He said, "I have been at sea for thirty years, and every day I see sailors who have committed crimes and run to the sea, and villains who are carrying knives and preparing to go ashore to commit crimes. I have seen a lot of scum, but you no."

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and scratched his head, "Did I make a mistake somewhere?"

"Vicious people will hate the world, Mr. Ye, because the world is not good to them, so they only pity themselves. But when you look at others, where does the compassion in your eyes come from?"

"Maybe you got it wrong, Captain."

Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "Leading so many people to die for my own selfishness, if this is not vicious enough, then what can I be called?"

"Maybe... a saint?"

Igor thought for a long time and said seriously. His serious look did not look like he was telling a joke at all.

But Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a long time, but he was amused: "In the eyes of the captain, am I such a kind person?"

"You are not kind, you are just arrogant."

Igor stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Crazy people like you always think that you can change everything, so you have so much pity and sympathy for the world."

"Won't we chat for a while longer?"

"No, I'm sleepy."

Igor waved his hand: "Go to sleep too, Mr. Madman, and think about how to mess with the world tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted.

boom!

A terrifying neighing sound suddenly erupted from the dead ocean.

From the disturbing silence to the boiling madness in just a moment, countless water bubbles surged out of the ocean. Something rose from the deep dark sea, rolling up a huge wave several meters high, and suddenly crashed into it. above the bottom of the ship.

The steel wheel weighing hundreds of tons swayed like duckweed under this terrifying impact, and was almost overturned entirely.

During the earthquake, Igor's foot slipped and he was thrown out of the violently turbulent deck.

He screamed and fell into the dark boiling sea.

But just in the air, a hand suddenly stretched out from the thorn and grabbed his collar. The next moment, like the winch of a crane turning, a huge force suddenly burst out, forcibly pulling him back and throwing him to the floor. .

Igor's vision went dark and he almost lost his breath.

In a blink of an eye, he passed away from death.

Panting in fear, he looked up and saw Ye Qingxuan in front of him, but he felt so strange.

In that emaciated body, something terrifying seemed to be awakened, roaring, burning vigorously, and bursting out with great power that surpassed the oven.

The dark pupils were ignited, and the cold moonlight lit up.

It's like a saint has been resurrected and stepped down from the pedestal of the stone statue. He is not decorated with jewels and laurels, and is full of majesty.

"Sorry, Captain Igor, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him and pointed to the dark ocean below, "When you finish peeing your pants, can you tell me what the hell is that thing in the ocean?"

Happy 14th birthday, Lao Luo!

Although his birthday was yesterday, since he didn't want a gift, I had no choice but to follow the rules of the drafting industry and skip the update for one day to celebrate.

PS: I really want to celebrate ten days.
