Chapter 297 [Eyes]

"...A dead white whale was found. The cause of death was unknown, as well as the bodies of many moth beasts. The location... Reporter: Nana..."

After Xia Ye read the message from the "Communication Debt", she turned around and said, "The Strike Witches have made a new discovery."

"What discovery?" Yaha asked immediately.

Xia Ye repeated the message from Nana.

"The dead white whales and moth beasts are in the shallow sea so close to Debsota?" Yaha frowned and looked at Xia Ye, "It seems you are right, the Moby Dick and Bronxi should be You speed up and move forward."

Xia Ye nodded: "Be prepared in advance. However, the Strike Witches should have just returned. I will take a look at the scene through them before making a decision."

After saying that, she threw her consciousness upwards. The huge head in mid-air was like a hot air balloon, slowly leaving the bridge and floating upwards until it reached an altitude of about 1000 meters. Then, Xia Ye controlled it to open. eyes.

She saw countless extremely thin translucent threads.

Most of the threads are concentrated on the east side, starting from the Moby-Dick and extending in the direction of Debso Tower, where she issued the "Moby Dick Debt".

There are another four pointing to the west, which are "communication bonds" issued to Nana and others. Xia Ye picked out one of them and let her sight extend along it. The distant scenery quickly shrank towards her, as if she was being sucked in. After feeling slightly dizzy due to the water in the vacuum pipe, the figure of a red-haired girl appeared in front of Xia Ye.

According to the supplementary clause -6.2 of the "Returning Soul" contract, the number of [eyes] can increase Xia Ye's [field of vision] and [moment of vision]. Ever since she activated the big head given by Tang Yue, she found that she The range of sight has been greatly expanded. However, this expansion still needs to be extended along the debt relationship.

Just like now, she followed the "communication debt" and saw Nana hundreds of sea miles away, as if she was right next to the girl.

"Nana." She said.

Xia Ye actually didn't speak, it was because her consciousness was vibrating, and the vibrations were transmitted along the thread representing the debt relationship, and finally a voice sounded in Nana's consciousness.

"Eh? Xia...Mr. Xia Ye?!" The girl was obviously surprised.

"It's me. I need you to go back to where you were and take another look. Your other three team members can continue to return." Xia Ye said as briefly as possible.

Extending the field of vision and making long-distance calls are not without cost. In the "Return to Soul" contract, supplementary clause -6.3 has appeared. According to the content of the clause, maintaining the ultra-long distance is that the field of vision needs to continue to consume one's own overdraft limit or can Financing amount, while calls require more consumption.

However, this consumption is only temporary. As long as you close your [eyes], the consumed credit can be restored at a certain speed. The terms do not specify the consumption and recovery speeds. Xia Ye just took this opportunity to try Ichiban.

"Yes, Sir Xia Ye!" Nana replied, "But... I'm worried that they won't be able to find the fleet when they return."

"Captain Nana? Who are you talking to?" Sania beside her asked strangely.

"It's Lord Xia Ye..." Nana repeated Xia Ye's order to the three of them.

"Let me lead the way." Sania said proactively, "I can identify the direction."

Blow by the etheric wind, the Strike Witch will gradually deviate from its original course during flight even if she does not deliberately turn. Therefore, the navigator needs to make constant corrections, and this correction mainly relies on experience, memory and...

"Tell me where Xiuji is," Nana said.

Sania immediately pointed in a direction, Nana took a look and saw that the other person pointed in the right direction.

Theoretically, every Cat Witch can rely on the tail behind her to establish a sense of touch with Shuji, but this sense is very weak and requires talent and a lot of practice to make it clear enough. Clear sense is also the key to Strike Witches. The most reliable guarantee for finding Moby-Dick.

"Sanya, I entrust you to temporarily take over the captain's duties and lead the team back to the Moby-Dick." Nana said.

"Yes!"

Nana said goodbye to the three of them, broke away from the formation, and flew back towards the direction where the beluga was found. Taking this opportunity, Xia Ye took a look at the consumption of the quota. Before that, she had an overdraft limit of 10000 more and a financing limit of about 32000 more, for a total of 42000 more.

Now, the financing limit has become 30000 moles. Only two minutes have passed since he laid his eyes on Nana, and his conversation with Nana has only been two sentences, and his quota has been consumed by 2000 magic. The consumption rate is faster than expected, Xia Ye thought to himself, and at the same time checked the details of the quota consumption, and soon discovered that maintaining the line of sight requires 500 moles of quota per minute, and every word spoken, according to the words The length requires 500-1000 moles.

Based on this calculation, even if she had a credit of 42000 moles, she wouldn't be able to sustain it for long. Fortunately, Nana was not far from her destination. Just a few minutes later, Xia Ye saw the dead white whale in the other party's mouth.

"Fly slowly and get closer to it."

"Yes, Master Xiaye."

Nana reduced the speed to 290 knots and circled the beluga with the smallest turning radius. With the [eyes] activated, all the details on the beluga's body were extremely clear, but as Nana reported, Xia Ye could not see any fatal injuries on the beluga's body.

"Take me to see those moth beasts again." Xia Ye ordered again.

"Yes! Uh... Sir Xia Ye, did you just say that I would take you there?" Nana asked curiously.

"Well, because now my eyes are following you."

"Eh? Ehhhhh?!"

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing... I just suddenly felt a little nervous..."

"Concentrate on your mission. Every word I say now costs a lot of magic." Xia Ye said. Although she only consumed the quota, because she was too lazy to explain, she was "simplified" into Mol.

"How many?" Nana asked cautiously.

"About 500 moles per sentence."

"..."

Probably because she was frightened, Nana didn't dare to say anything anymore and honestly flew towards the location of the moth beast with Xia Ye's gaze. A moment later, Xia Ye saw the moth beast corpses floating in the sea of ​​clouds.

"Keep flying forward, Nana."

Xia Ye gave instructions while extending her field of vision as far forward as possible. Soon, she saw scenes 20 nautical miles away, 30 nautical miles away... or even 50 nautical miles away. Up to that position, sporadic moth beast corpses could still be seen scattered in the sea of ​​clouds. middle.

This has reached the limit of the visual distance. If you want to see a longer distance, you can only let Nana continue flying forward. But according to the current situation, this is undoubtedly a risky approach.

"Return, turn on the afterburner and get out of this area, return to the Moby Dick." Xia Ye ordered.

"Yes!"

Nana began to turn, but Xia Ye didn't rush to look away. She waited until the other party flew away from where the white whale and the moth beast were before closing her [eyes].

Her consciousness returned to the cab of the Moby Dick, and she looked around. Yaha and others were waiting for news about her.

"Just as Nana reported, the cause of death of the white whale is indeed unclear from its appearance," Xia Ye said to them. "In addition, the bodies of the moth beasts extend more than 50 nautical miles to the west, and those moth beasts look like they are chasing the white whale. I observed them carefully, and most of them were indeed killed by whale breath, but others did not look like it."

"When we dissect the body of the beluga, maybe we can find out the cause of its death." The first mate also came to the cab to participate in the discussion, "We have to harvest its whale oil anyway."

Xia Ye had no objection and turned to look at Yaha.

Yaha understood what she meant and immediately gave the order:
"All thrusters enter the afterburner state! The left rudder breaks away from the formation at 5 degrees and moves forward at the highest speed!"

A moment later, a high-pitched roar came from the stern of the ship, and the diamond-shaped fleet gradually split into two halves. The Moby-Dick accelerated forward with the Brunhil, splitting two long wakes in the sea of ​​clouds, heading towards The beluga galloped away from where it was.
