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

Farmine smiled and said:

"Let's hear the bad news first, but I want to ask first, the bad news isn't that you lost the compass?"

Lucien spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Of course not, there are many compasses on board, my beautiful cook lady. The bad news I want to say is that we have lost our way."

"I don't know where everyone is now. There is an anomaly in the space here. I tried to summon Mephisto's messenger just now, but it failed."

Fiennes was employed by Straw, and his most important task was to protect the safety of Belusay's heir, and the situation has now become somewhat out of control.

He asked with an ugly face:

"How about that?"

"The good news is ... it's not all bad."

Lucien answered jokingly and explained before the old man had a fit.

"Only by losing our way can we reach a place that has never been discovered, otherwise everyone knows where it is."

This explanation deepened Fiennes' anger even more.

"What are you kidding!"

Lucien didn't look at him. He walked up to the second floor at the stern and pushed away the helmsman. He put one hand on the rudder the size of a millstone and said loudly:

"Everyone move, let down the ropes, let's set sail with full sail and sail with the wind!"

Chapter 11 Stormy Night

Ling stood on the watchtower at the top of the mast and looked forward. She had the best eyesight among the envoys, and this was the most suitable job for her.

On the sea with a wide view, Ling could easily see a lone boat even ten nautical miles away.But the more this happened, the more she was sure that the Devil's Left Wrist was in an abnormal sea.

This is already the fourth day of sailing, and Ling has not found any merchant ships on the sea.As far as the eye can see, there are deep black sea water and gloomy sky, it seems that they are the only ones left in the whole world.Not even fish could be caught here, and the nets were either empty, or even the nets had been torn by something.

Some sailors said that the fish were scared away or eaten by some monster.

After learning that there were wild mermaids underwater, the ship was unable to stop even at night and could only maintain power and continue sailing in shifts.

They couldn't find any corresponding large sea area on the chart. The Black Sea is an inland sea and the north-south span should only be [-] nautical miles.

At the speed of this paddle-wheeled three-masted schooner, a week is quite enough to make it across the north and south coasts.

Is this really the Black Sea? This question is expanding in everyone's heart.It is just like the sea of ​​mist where the ghost ship haunts as depicted in those ghost stories.The corpses of countless shipwrecks or terrifying monsters are hidden in the gaps between the waves.

Ella climbed up the rope, and her face was a little uncomfortable.

"One bayaki failed to come back. This sea area is more dangerous than we thought."

She used rituals to summon a few Byakhees, and in addition to hovering and protecting the sailboat, she was also responsible for finding out the direction.

Ling nodded in surprise.

"I can feel, as if something is following us, you look down."

Ayla looked behind the boat in response, but there was only black water and white waves.

Looking at her puzzled expression, Ling reminded.

"The color of the sea near us is a little darker."

Under Ling's reminder, Ella narrowed her eyes and looked more carefully. She couldn't be sure whether it was an illusion or the ship itself blocked the light.But there is indeed an imperceptible shadow area in the sea area behind the Devil's Left Wrist.

"Is this... a school of fish?"

she guessed.

"Not such a cute thing, think about the anchors and hinges from that day, they should have been with us for a long time ... and the number is still expanding, I only noticed this this morning."

There was uneasiness hidden in Ling's voice.

Ella felt a chill at the thought of the split corners of the mermaid's mouth and the needle-like teeth.

"Does the captain know about this?"

"You mean Lucien? I've already told him... These things are probably waiting for something if they don't attack now."

Ella looked at the clouds in the sky and quietly made a divination using silver coins and her own spirituality. Her expression quickly changed.

"There's going to be a storm tonight, and I think that's what they're waiting for."

A three-masted ship with armor is less likely to be capsized by a merfolk from the bottom, but in a storm it's another matter.

"Must tell them right away!"

In the captain's room, Lucien was looking at the sea chart spread out on the long table, which was drawn by magic.Cooperating with the eyeball familiar placed on Byakhee, the sea chart is gradually expanding and becoming more detailed.

"Are you here for those mermaids, or has something changed outside?"

Lucien looked up at them, and then continued to scan the edge of the enlarged chart.In the present situation, even he has become a lot more serious.

"There will be a storm tonight, and the mermaids will take advantage of the storm to attack us."

Ella replied.

Lucien was silent for a few seconds,

"You must find a way to reduce the number of mermaids."

Pointing to the black dots that appeared on the edge of the chart, he said:

"Perhaps we can arrive here before dawn. The familiar observed a piece of land before it died."

"Lands that would make it impossible for Byakki to return...are equally dangerous."

Ling reminded.

"We have no choice. That's probably our destination this time."

The two left the captain's cabin, and Hyde was under the command of Shadow to strengthen the cables and waterproof the cannon.

The former has gotten used to the environment here, and the symptoms of seasickness have been greatly relieved.

"Swarm of mermaids?"

Hearing this, Hyde looked towards the shadow following the ship. He pointed to the shadow that was bigger than the Devil's Left Wrist, and his face turned blue.

"All of those?"

After thinking about it, Ayla improvised some highly toxic potions, mixed them in several buckets of salted fish and threw them into the water.

Shiv looked at Ella who was busy,

"It's useless, mermaids are smart creatures, and they will soon notice the problem... Moreover, for those hungry things, the living flesh and blood on the ship, which is full of vitality and magic, is better. food."

Hearing this, they tried a few more attack spells, and the flame itself was severely damaged in this environment.No wizard can dry the sea with fire, perhaps only the gods.

Ella made several huge ice picks, but the speed of the ice picks underwater was slowed down a lot, making it difficult to hurt the mermaids whose bodies were covered with scales and whose movements were agile.

Cannonballs and magic also have little effect. The mermaid swarm can dive hundreds of feet under the water at any time, and the lethality of magic and artillery will be weakened to negligible by the large amount of seawater.

Occasionally, a few bluish corpses would come up from the sea surface, but they were insignificant in the huge school of fish.The threatened merfolk dived deeper under the water surface and became more difficult to attack.

Ella looked at the rings that covered her right hand, then shook her head.

Maybe the Ten Commandments can play a role, but the unknown negative rules it brings are equally terrifying. Her current luck may drag the entire ship into the abyss.

Shadow stroked something in the air with his fingers, and said:

"The space here is not stable enough. I suggest you not to use magic like 'doors' casually."

"It feels to me like the area near the Tangerang Rainforest Temple, not entirely in physical space."

That's not entirely bad news, but at least it means they're headed in the right direction.

Ella glanced back and saw that Fetili had not appeared on the deck. She had spent most of the day in the cabin.

"At that time, there were only four hunters in Paris. It is impossible for such a number of people to drive a huge ship... How did those people cross this sea area?"

The answer to this question will probably only be known by the dead Nils or the foul blood of Enoch.

-

As night falls, black clouds gather in mid-air, and a huge storm that can cover the entire sea area is gathering.

The waves became more and more turbulent, and occasionally huge waves of several meters or even more than ten meters would hit the sides of the ship, and then smash to pieces on the deck.

As the sky was getting darker, Ling stood on the top of the boat and looked into the distance. She squinted her dark yellow eyes like a bird of prey, and the black island gradually appeared at the end of her sight.

"I saw..."

Lucien was right. They could indeed catch up with the land before dawn. The mermaids were not a concern on the ground. Only there could the mission's combat power be fully utilized.

Before the storm started, the sea became quiet.

Ethereal songs sang around the ship, and the mermaids stuck their beautiful upper bodies out of the water. This is a picture that only appears in heaven or hell.Countless blue and black fish tails are swinging under the water, holding up the white body of the human female, and they are singing with their necks open:

"The Mary is going to sink,

It's sinking, it's sinking,

The Mary is sinking

my venerable sailor,

mending with wood and bones,

Timber and bones, timber and bones,

my venerable sailor,

The head will rot, the bone will break..."⑴

Unlike the merfolk raised at Faust Manor, they sing eerie tunes with a human-like accent.

"What ghost song!"

Ling cursed, then slid down the mast and stood firmly on the deck.

"Legends say that mermaids will lure sailors with their singing and beauty, causing them to crash into reefs or icebergs and become food for mermaids."
