After "helping" the sailors fix the hole in the bottom of the ship with the help of the book, Fangzheng returned to his room to rest. He had thought that Katy's bad luck had ended there.
But what Fangzheng didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
The next morning, Fangzheng woke up. But she didn't wake up naturally. She was woken up by the noise outside.
"Ugh … What happened?"
Hearing the quarrel, Walnut also rolled over and got up from the bed, rubbing her eyes. Fangzheng shook his head. He pushed the door open and walked to the deck. Following that, Fangzheng saw the captain holding a whip and lashing a thin sailor with all his might.
"You idiot! What did I tell you to do! You idiot! Look at what you've done!! "
"What's wrong? Wait, why did you hit him? "
At this moment, Hu Tao also walked out. She was shocked when she saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. The captain glared at the sailor and kicked him to the ground before letting out a helpless sigh.
"Miss mercenary, you don't know the situation. This idiot was supposed to keep watch last night, but he actually fell asleep! And now, we've been pushed off course by an ocean current from who knows where. Simply put … we're lost!! "
Meow meow meow??
Fangzheng's eyes widened. She silently looked at Katie who was standing next to her ….
Is this young lady's curse of bad luck not over yet?
"Off course? What's going on? "
The other passengers also walked over. They were shocked when they heard the captain's words.
"Hey, don't you have a solution? You should have a compass, right? "
"The compass was lost in the previous storm. I've sent people to look for it, but I don't know if it's still on the ship …."
"Hah …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng sighed helplessly and walked forward.
"I know a thing or two about magic. I might be able to help you …."
"Really? That's great, Miss mercenary!! "
The captain did not doubt Fangzheng's words. There were indeed some mercenaries who knew some basic magic. Of course, they might not be as good as regular mages, but they could still be useful sometimes. The captain had traveled extensively for many years and had seen many mercenaries, so when he heard the cute red-haired girl in front of him say that she knew magic, he immediately became happy.
"Can you help us determine the direction …."
"No problem."
For Fangzheng, this was no problem at all. She stretched out her hand and whispered a few words to determine the direction. The captain then took out the sea chart and compared it with the magic that Fangzheng cast. He finally figured out their current position, then immediately turned around and sailed towards their destination.
Seeing that the matter was resolved successfully, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their cabins. After the storm yesterday, coupled with the leak in the bottom of the ship that took a long time to fix, everyone was exhausted. Now that they almost had a heart attack, those who had nothing to do went back to their cabins to rest.
"How unlucky …."
Back in the cabin, Hu Tao also muttered.
"It's not like I've never been on a ship before, but I've never seen something like this. Sigh … it's really strange."
"…."
Hearing Hu Tao's muttering, Katie trembled. She lowered her head and did not say a word. But Fangzheng could already see that the little one had almost shrunk into a ball at this moment.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. Although the atmosphere in the cabin was a little gloomy, after Fangzheng made grilled fish and fish soup, everyone relaxed a lot. It might not be delicious, but it was quite pleasant to be able to eat grilled fish on the ship while looking at the endless sea.
By the way, all the fish were caught by Hu Tao. Kuang San did not catch a single one.
From this, it could be seen that it was also a matter of luck.
After eating the fish soup, everyone stayed in the cabin to rest and chat. But Katie obviously had no interest in chatting, or rather, she had begun to display her powerful invisibility ability again. As they chatted, they gradually lost track of Katie. But fortunately, this young lady did not move from her nest. As long as they found the right place, they would be able to catch her.
Soon, the sun set in the west. The bright red sun slowly sank below the horizon, and the whole world began to dim. This ordinary day was coming to an end ….
"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!"
The harsh and urgent ringing of the bell broke the silence on the ship. Hearing this sudden sound, Fangzheng, Kuang San, and Hu Tao immediately jumped up. Katie also raised her head like a frightened hamster and looked around anxiously. Not long after, the shouts of the sailors penetrated the whole cabin from the outside.
"Pirates!!"
"Bang!!"
At the same time, as if to prove his words, accompanied by a dull explosion, everyone felt the hull of the ship tremble slightly. Then, someone shouted again.
"The cargo hold has been hit! It's on fire! Someone come and put out the fire!!"
"… … …"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then ran out of the cabin again.
When Fangzheng and the others came to the deck again, they saw a pirate ship on the side of the ship, closely chasing it from the rear. Cannonballs were fired at them from time to time. Although most of the cannonballs did not hit the target due to the insufficient range, a few still hit the hull and set it on fire.
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire! Damn it! Fight back! Hurry up and fight back! Over there! Aim and fire! "
The captain was on the verge of going crazy. He commanded the sailors to put out the fire, strode to the cannon, took a cannonball, and loaded it into the barrel. Then, he aimed at the pirate ship in the distance.
No one noticed that at that moment, Fangzheng was standing not far behind the captain. Her fingers trembled slightly in the air, drawing lines of magical runes. Then, a mysterious power flowed into the barrel silently.
"Damn bast * rd, go to hell!"
The captain yelled. He pulled the barrel forcefully, and with a loud bang, the cannonball whizzed out of the barrel and flew towards the pirate ship in the distance.
However, no one noticed that there was a dark red color on the shell that was almost invisible.
Boom!!
But at the next moment, everyone witnessed the pirate ship exploding all of a sudden. Flames soared into the sky and the entire ship shattered into pieces as though it was hit by a guided missile.
Looking at this scene, even the captain was stunned. So were the others. After a few moments, they cheered loudly.
"Captain, you're amazing!"
"You hit their ammunition depot with just one shot. As expected of the captain!"
It was apparent that everyone thought that the captain's cannonball hit the ammunition depot on the pirate ship and caused the explosion. The captain widened his eyes and slapped himself a few times. Then, he grinned and laughed proudly.
"Hahaha, Goddess bless us! This is the blessing of the Goddess! This time, I'll treat all of you to the Smoking Pipe Tavern! Let's drink to our hearts' content! For this cannonball! "
"Captain, Captain …!"
However, before the captain's voice faded, he saw another sailor rushing over hurriedly.
"What's wrong? What happened again? "
"Vortex —!"
At the next moment, the sailor shouted something that made everyone's scalp tingle.
"A huge whirlpool! There's a huge whirlpool in front of us!!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the sailor's words, the captain's expression changed drastically. He pushed the sailor beside him aside, rushed to the front, and raised his binoculars to look into the distance.
At the next moment, his face turned deathly pale.
Not far away, Fangzheng reached out his hand to cover his face helplessly.
Is there an end to this?
