It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

The man glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, and then his eyes lit up.

He enthusiastically explained:

"This is Fred's private beach in Romania. Beautiful Miss Williams. Look at that boat. It's called 'Devil's Left Arm'. It probably cost a lot of money to build this huge ship."

"With a three-masted sail and a steam-driven paddle wheel, I dare say even Queen Victoria could not have done better! The thought of us embarking on this ship to search for the future in the depths of the Black Sea I feel very excited about Nuo City, the sea, the ruins, and the Cuban rum. Is there anything more romantic in the world than this?"

When talking about the ship, Lucien began to talk endlessly about some things, as if this matter was far more interesting to him than magic or family tasks.

Ella had not seen Enoch's map before, but she still heard a few terms from the other party's words.

"The city of Enoch is not on the land of Romania, but in the Black Sea?"

The representatives of the envoy were gathered here except Schif, who was busy placing the unusually large gryphon on the ship.

Logan's attitude towards him was not as bad as Schiff said. After discussing and deciding on the personnel for the mission, he generously gave his griffon to Schiff to protect this man who was not good at fighting. Mephisto.

Lucien didn't wait for him. He spread out the sea chart drawn on the parchment on a flat rock. Rather than saying it was a map, the pattern on it looked more like a simple ship pattern.

"The entrance to the city of Enoch is among the remains of the ark built in the depths of the Black Sea."

"Ark? You mean Noah's..."

Hyde frowned, this was a term that no one would be unfamiliar with.

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened, and it rained heavily on the earth for forty days and nights."

The shadow read a passage, which is recorded in "Genesis".The flood submerged the highest mountain, and all living things on the land died, except the survivors who boarded the ark.Well-meaning wizarding scholars have searched for the truth of the records, but in the end have only found some meaningless results, which scholars have finally attributed to different versions of the end of the age of the gods.

"The abandoned land of Nod, but its entrance is in the refuge of the chosen ones, ha, this is really a wonderful black humor."

Shadow clapped his hands happily.

Victoria's face turned a little pale, but in the end she just continued to remain silent. Now she felt that she no longer had the position to express an opinion on this matter.

Chapter 10 Only lost direction

The water in the stomach pouch was sloshing back and forth, and Hyde felt sick and broke out of the nightmare.He slammed open the door, and threw up on the side of the deck with a pale face, because he hadn't eaten anything last night, so he could only spit out a little sour water.

This is already the second day of setting sail.

The waves beat against the sides of the ship, and the dizziness brought about by this kind of bumps was different from that of a carriage or flying, and Hyde was still not used to it.

The sky was just bright, and with a little bit of light, the boundary between the dark sea water and the sky was not so clear.

The sails had not yet been unfurled, and the "Devil's Left Wrist" had dropped its heavy anchor last night to avoid losing its bearings.

The cool sea breeze with a bit of salty and sandy smell swept over his face, which made Hyde a little more energetic.He heard some irritating laughter and looked up.

He found the shadow lying on the horn ropes made of several thick cables. The doll was wearing a short deer-brown leather coat and a three-cornered hat with blue feathers. It was dressed like a female pirate from more than 100 years ago.

She just lay quietly on the corner rope, swaying in the wind.The latter's weight and balance ability have always been a mystery. In many cases, she is as light as a feather blown by the wind.

Shadow bit open the cork of the rum with his mouth. The dark brown liquid tasted like a ball of liquid fire, but a little sweetness and the aroma of almond wood remained in the mouth.

Miss Doll was a little annoyed that she couldn't get drunk, so she found an outlet for her spite.

"Among the entire mission, you are the only one who gets seasick..."

With that said, she re-corked the wine bottle and threw it down.

"I heard drinking helps. When you're drunk, you won't know whether you're drunk or seasick."

Hyde took the bottle doubtfully and took a sip with the attitude of giving it a try.

The purity of this black rum was over seventy. The burning sensation spread from the throat to the stomach, which made Hyde burp.

Then the sour smell mixed with alcohol rushed up. The latter's face turned blue and his body shook a few times, then he lay on the side of the boat and vomited.Only then did he recall the revenge that Shadow had promised.

Shadow's mood became much more relaxed, just like the sun beating on the sea level.

The door of another room in the cabin was opened, and Ling yawned and walked out. Ella followed behind and wiped her face with a towel.

The sea breeze is pleasant, but the salt contained in it can unknowingly erode the skin.

Ella put down the towel, raised her hand and threw a spell to disperse the abnormal state on Hyde, but the effect was mediocre, except that the smell of alcohol was weakened a little.Seasickness is more like the body's maladaptation to the environment, which is not the same concept as the general abnormal state.

"Thank you."

Hyde responded weakly and slid along the side of the ship to the deck.

"How can you not get seasick? This is simply more uncomfortable than sitting on the back of a dragon."

"Ella and I took a boat from Liverpool to San Francisco a few years ago and spent many months at sea."

Ling shrugged.

"It's just that you haven't gotten used to it yet. You can just vomit for a week at most."

Ella recalled her first experience on a boat. Her physique was not as good as that of Hyde, and she also suffered from seasickness for several days.

At this time, Lucien pushed open the wooden door of the captain's cabin on the second floor and jumped down from the ten-foot-high platform.He noticed Hyde's condition, took out a palm-sized cloth bag from his body and threw it to the other party.

Untie the string that tied the pocket, inside is some long strips of black dried fruit dipped in powder.

"Dried mangoes, eating more mangoes will help with seasickness."

Hyde, who had been tricked by the shadow once, hesitated.

"I have chartered a boat to travel around before. This is a traditional method that an old sailor told me. It is really effective and tastes good."

Lucien explained, and stuffed one into his mouth.

"Actually, I'm seasick too."

In just three days, he established a relatively friendly relationship with most of the people on the ship. In fact, except for his too bohemian nature, Lucien was talkative and charming, and it was difficult for people who did not know him well to have a bad impression of him.

The free and unrestrained life allowed Lucien to dabble in most fields other than magic, and he could even be considered a "naturalist" by ordinary people.But the more this happened, the more Fred felt sorry for his talent. His outstanding intelligence and mental strength meant that he could achieve something in the path of magic.

As the sky grew brighter, the people on the ship became active again.

The sailors greeted each other and dragged up the fishing nets that sank into the water last night. In addition to the cheese and bacon they carried, the fresh seafood they caught was also welcomed by the sailors.

Lucien glanced at the fishing net being dragged out of the water, then whistled lightly.

He patted Hyde on the shoulder and said:

"It seems that there is turtle soup to drink this morning. We will set sail after breakfast. Even if you force yourself to eat more, you must eat more. The weaker you are, the easier it is to get seasick."

On the other side, Famini was humming a tune happily, and the fragrant soup was bubbling in the big pot in front of her.

Some of the original cooks in the mission were driven out of the room by her, while others stayed to do some tricks.The powerful figure in the Albion fraternity volunteered to be responsible for the ship's catering, and cooking seemed to be her own hobby.

There are a few slices of thinly sliced ​​bacon floating in the milky-white turtle soup with spices added. The meat of the seafood itself has a light salty taste, so there is no need to add more salt.

Bread that absorbs the steam and becomes soft, paired with cheese and fresh fish will make a hearty breakfast.

As Professor Adolf said before Ira left, Quan should be on a happy vacation.

But this relaxed atmosphere did not last long. Looking sideways at the fish and birds jumping on the sea, Ella felt that her spirituality was suddenly touched.

Schools of fish leaping on the water are chasing this hybrid giant ship. It does not need the propelling of the paddle wheel. It can surpass these small fish just by raising the sail...Catching?

Ella realized something, and she suddenly turned her head and asked Sif Mephisto, who was recording the sea conditions.

"Didn't you say we would set sail after breakfast? Why is the ship moving?"

The sailors were busy cleaning the deck, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Schiff said subconsciously:

"It's impossible for a ship to be completely still at sea, but it's not a problem to drift a little—"

But the man's words were only general, and he realized something was wrong. The boat was moving too fast.

Several people present noticed the abnormality at the same time, and they all went to the winch in the center of the deck.

At this moment, Lucien was directing several sailors to turn the capstan and raise the iron chain as thick as an arm from the bottom of the sea.

Their current channel should not have left the shallow sea area, and the [-]-foot-long iron anchor is completely enough to sink into the seabed and fix the ship's position.

But the raised chain fell down before it reached two hundred feet, and the chain, which was as thick as an adult's arm, broke in the middle!

Lucien's complexion turned livid. The "Devil's Left Wrist" was protected by magic, and there should be no problem with the quality of the ship itself.

He hurriedly took out the compass and glanced at it, then his pupils shrank suddenly.

The sailors whispered. They were all people who had come into contact with the mysterious world and generally rarely showed panic.And even in extremely bad weather, this boat is safe.

"what happened?"

Schiff stepped forward and asked.

"Lord Mephisto, I have been sailing for 15 years and I have never seen such a strange thing."

A dark-skinned crew member touched his bald head. He reached out and picked up the algae-covered iron chain on the wooden board, and motioned to Schiff to observe the end of the iron chain.

Fine grooves are spread all over the thick iron ring, and the broken end is completely twisted and deformed.There were dark red blood stains on the groove of the iron ring, and something like a bone spur was broken in the crack.

Sif forcefully pulled out a broken bone spur. It looked like some kind of short yellow-brown needle as long as a finger.

"It looks like... it was bitten off by something, but it is made of black iron. What creature can bite off such a thick iron chain?"

Ella opened her mouth, and she suddenly remembered that she had seen this kind of thing in the middle of the lake in Faust Manor, and she murmured subconsciously:

"Merman teeth..."

"Mermaid?"

The scene became a little flustered. It should have been a dangerous creature that had long since disappeared, but according to the records, a large group of wild mermaids was enough to overturn the fleet and drag everything into the endless abyss.

"Everyone."

A lazy voice drew everyone's attention back. It was Lucien, the captain and ambassador of the mission. His voice sounded the same as usual, but this calmness was what was most needed at the moment.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Lucien threw the compass into the sea, and then said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have two pieces of news to tell you now, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
