At the port of Whale Island, the Poseidon has set sail and sailed on the turquoise sea.

On the deck of the ship, a hedgehog-headed boy dressed in green is holding a fishing rod and watching the sea intently.

Xiaojie has been fishing since the moment he got on the boat.

At this time, the fishing rod moved, and Xiaojie immediately pulled the fishing rod up.

As little Jie pulled the fishing rod, the prey finally surfaced, and with a pair of wings, the slender flying fish was exposed.

“It’s a flying fish! So lucky! This is rare even on Whale Island. ”

The other Whale Island examinees on the boat looked at Xiaojie’s happy appearance and shook their heads with disdain.

Obviously, Xiaojie’s sunny and cheerful personality is a little out of place with the slightly tense and dignified atmosphere on the ship.

Xiaojie’s actions here attracted the attention of many people on the ship, including the red-nosed captain in addition to the candidates.

“This kid is good, he can actually catch such a big fish, and he is still a flying fish that can rarely be hooked.” Captain Red-nosed is interested in things to do with the sea.

“Gull Ga~Gull Ga~Gull Ga!”

I don’t know when many seagulls began to fly around the Poseidon at low altitude, their voices mournful, as if they were telling something.

“The storm is coming.” Seeing the seagull’s strange appearance, Xiaojie sniffed with his nose, and then took a deep breath of humid air.

“How is it possible, now that the wind is calm, Xiaojie, can you still understand the bird language?” Leoli leaned over.

“It’s just a little bit, and the smell of salt in the air is strong, and the wind is warm.” Xiaojie said.

“Then you can teach me later.” Leoli looked interested.

I still think about how to use this skill to earn money after learning it.

“Boy, are you from Whale Island? Who is your father? The red-nosed captain saw Xiaojie’s actions in his eyes, and had a guess in his heart, so he asked about it.

“Yes. He is a hunter, and although I have only seen pictures of him, I respect him. Xiaojie replied innocently.

Hearing Xiaojie’s answer, and looking at some similar silhouettes, the red-nosed captain had already determined.

“Boy, how long will it take for the storm to arrive?” The red-nosed captain asked, he wanted to test Xiaojie’s judgment.

“About two hours later.” Xiaojie estimated.

The red-nosed captain nodded, which was similar to what he had expected in his heart.

“Crackle!”

A bolt of lightning cut through the long sky, and on the main sail pillar of the Seagod, a purple point of light actually appeared, which made everyone who saw it can’t help but be a little frightened.

“It’s the fire of St. Elmo.” The red-nosed captain frowned.

As this sentence fell, it was as if some mechanism had been turned on.

The dark night sky was constantly pierced by bright lightning, the wind began to blow, and the calm sea began to respond to the enthusiastic call of the sky and began to move.

“Woohoo!”

With the gradual increase of wind and waves, the Poseidon swayed left and right, and the people standing on it swayed left and right, and the determination was almost rolling on the ground.

“The fire of St. Elmo, the legend says that whoever sees the fire of St. Elmo will die in the sea.” An exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd.

This sentence is like throwing a hot stone into the calm water.

Although on the Poseidon the Seagod, the people who came to take the hunter exam still have some skills, but the fire of St. Elmo is really too famous.

Coupled with the Seagod swaying up and down in the big waves, people are even more panicked.

Panic can be contagious, and he is not calm for a while, forming a vicious circle, including Leoli and Kurapika’s faces are serious, and the military heart is shaken.

Only Roy and Number Eighteen stood still in this storm, enjoying the swaying and swaying in this storm.

“Really, isn’t it just a storm? This group of people is chattering and annoying! ”

Roy opened his eyes, and then he saw No. 18’s head turned to the side, his eyes showing intoxication, and he muttered in his mouth: “It’s so beautiful!” ”

“?” Roy also followed the gaze of the eighteenth, but saw that the purple light in the sky in the distance was very beautiful and gorgeous, coupled with the stars in the sky, it was extremely beautiful, so he couldn’t help but appreciate it.

“Well, it’s really beautiful~”

“What a big-headed ghost! This is the fire of St. Elmo! We could all die, okay?! One of the sailors was cold all over, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but complain.

“So it’s scary to be uncultured.”

Roy stretched, then got up and said

“The real cause of the fire in St. Elmo is actually a cold light coronal discharge phenomenon, or electrical excitation light. It is caused by the ionization of air in the field caused by a strong electric field in a thunderstorm. Although the name has the word “fire”, the fire of St. Elmo is actually not hot at all, it is a relatively low temperature plasma, because the surrounding environment is very large potential difference beyond the dielectric collapse value of air, currently about 3 million volts per meter, so that the air also becomes conductive, and emits strong light in the process of conduction, which is very common in heavy thunderstorms. ”

Before crossing over, he also graduated from one of the top 100 prestigious universities in the country, and this nautical knowledge has long been learned in the school’s liberal arts class and Erya general education class.

Finally, Roy snapped his fingers and concluded: “All in all, in short, this is a normal natural phenomenon on the sea due to thunderstorms. ”
