Release that Witch

Lightning as the only professional with experience in the sea, it is incumbent to serve as a navigator.

In fact, she is also interested in this quirky and strange barge. Although it looks rough, but as a ship, there are some parts that are available. As for whether or not it can move, she is not sure. After all, when she was at sea, she was mostly a bystander, and her father always refused her request to take the helm or sail.

In accordance with the tradition of the new ship sailing, lightning smashed a can of ale on the bow and then ordered the sail. As a conductor, Carter is naturally reluctant to let the little girl **** the position, so after she shouts, the Cavaliers will always follow the same order.

The sails of the township are made of animal skin, and the cowhide and sheepskin account for the majority. They also mix some of the specialties of the town, such as wolf skin and bear skin. So it looks like the color is different, brown and white, like a patch full of rags. The sail is trapezoidal, with four wooden sticks in the middle as beams, and the cable passes through the iron ring at the top of the mast and hangs down on the deck. As long as the cable is pulled, the entire sail can be raised.

In order to make the operation as simple as possible, the two sails before and after the township are single sails, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the centerline. If the general brig is set up like this, it will cause a sail to eat very little, almost equivalent to losing its effect. But with Wendy's wind control ability, this design will evenly distribute the power on both sides of the centerline, which is more convenient for the steering wheel.

Lightning saw the completion of the sail, and commanded the workers on the land to untie the hemp rope. The weather at this time was not bad. The sky occasionally had snow falling. Under the light wind and water flow, the boat slowly left the shore.

The little girl landed beside Brian and shouted: "Right full rudder!"

Carter also shouted: "Right full rudder!"

"Hey, what is the meaning of the right full rudder?" Brian scratched his head. "Turn a few laps to the right?"

"No, turn to the left," Lightning lifted his hand. "Forget it, let me come."

She forgot that these people were the first to maneuver the sailboat, and even the basic instructions did not understand. If it is a standard catamaran, I am afraid that even the sails are not rolled out. It’s just that ten people are not there, and the stone boat can be made offshore. It can only be said that the design of the township is indeed unique.

She holds the steering wheel handle higher than herself, her feet off the ground, and rotates to one side - the huge transverse steering wheel is very heavy for ordinary women, and it is equivalent to overcoming the resistance of water without mechanical assistance. , pull the entire iron rudder surface below the bottom of the ship. But all this is not a problem for the lightning that can fly. She noticed that there was a blocking piece under the tiller to prevent turning over the head. I couldn't help but be curious. I heard that this ship was designed by the Prince's Hall. Why did he even know this detail? Be aware that even sailors who stay at sea all year round are not necessarily aware of the structure of the various parts of the ship.

"When Wendy's sister, get off the wind."

Wendy stood at the top of the shed and laughed and laughed. The original Highness asked if he had a fear of heights because of this reason. Use yourself to promote sailing? Thinking of the things that I usually do, such as drying the meat, blowing the robes, etc., suddenly produced a subtle contrast. She opened her hands and entered the state of practice on weekdays, letting the wind blow evenly from under her feet and overhead, as much as possible to make the wind on both sides of the sail equal.

To be honest, Wendy didn't expect this seemingly simple request to be so difficult to operate.

Although she was awakened to the witch 15 years ago, she never tried to understand and control her strength. Whether it is summoning a rapid airflow to wrap a stone to attack an enemy, or summoning a gust of wind to take away an enemy, it is a one-time release of a lot of magic. When dealing with chores in the camp, the wind is also big and small, as long as the purpose can be achieved. Now thinking of Anna's serious appearance when practicing, Wendy suddenly felt a little shame.

"The first thing you have to do is to practice your abilities repeatedly until you have mastered it completely - just like Anna."

It turned out that this is not a set of words.

Then start from now... She took a deep breath and focused her attention on the induction of the wind.

Although the wind was not completely balanced, the sails still swelled, and the constant thrust caused the mast to creak and the bow began to swing to the right.

“It’s really moving,” Carter exclaimed.

"His Highness made the stone a boat and let it float on the water," Tigu smiled and snarled. "What else can he not do?"

The township is getting farther and farther from the river bank and gradually moving in the middle of the river.

Wendy can only generate wind from the air, but can not let the original north wind disappear. Under the action of two winds, the direction of the hull is not a straight line and must be adjusted by the rudder. This lightning can't be told clearly, only Brian can personally understand. In order to let him grasp this feeling as soon as possible, the little girl first commanded him to carry out several major rudder changes, and felt the relationship between the angle of rotation of the steering wheel and the swinging amplitude of the bow, and then made further fine adjustments.

After sailing for more than half an hour on the Chishui River, Wendy could not hold it.

Not the magic is exhausted, but the body reaches its limit.

Even if you pack your body into a braid, you can't completely resist the cold wind. A thin layer of snow was accumulated on her cotton cap, and her hands and feet were frozen and unconscious, standing on the ceiling and crumbling. If it wasn't for lightning that was found in the air while cruising, maybe she would stick to the coma.

Lightning quickly flew to Wendy's side, grabbing her body and yelling for Brian to land.

The latter killed the steering wheel to the right and the bow slowly deflected to the left. Lightning also flew down with Wendy. Although it can only be blown to a sail on the deck, it can at least avoid the cold, so as to avoid the body temperature loss too fast. And landing this kind of work that requires fine control, lightning does not dare to hand over to a newcomer who just learned to steer - even though she is not in the same place.

After some tossing down, the township finally landed, and everyone’s heart was raised at the moment of collision with the river bank. The hull made a dull sound when it hit, but it didn't look bad. The group quickly gathered the sails and set off the board.

Fortunately fortunately, during the trial, everyone did not choose a straight line to go to the end, but turned around and practiced in the spacious section of the river, so the town number did not leave the departure site too far.

Lightning carried Wendy directly to the castle, Carter sighed at the stone ship, without the help of the witch, they did not want to drive the boat back to the dock.
