It was the eleventh day since Elvin and his party arrived at Nissk Water City. It was also the fourth day of the second cruise of the Storm Horn.
The second routine cruise was still peaceful. After they reached the border of the distant sea, they began to turn around and return.
Obviously, compared to life in Nissk Water City, the days of torture had been rather torturous.
The days of cruising had been somewhat torturous, especially when they didn't know when the enemy would come and whether they would come or not!
"When will these days where we can only passively wait for the enemy to come to us end?"
Milan hung herself limply on the railing of the aft tower. She looked at the white trail left behind by the warship as it sailed across the sea. She said weakly.
"As a 'prophet', do you have the nerve to ask us this question?"
Elvin rolled his eyes at her. He was the one who wanted to ask when it would end!
Floating like this all day did not affect his current research progress much.
However, he still had to put in some effort to guard against the enemy that might come at any time. He even had to foresee the worst-case scenario — the sea monsters!
It was indeed a little tiring.
Although the pressure on his shoulders was not great, Elvin was very happy to end this life as soon as possible.
"It's obvious that Huggins has an Evil God supporting him. The kingdom's officials did not receive any information.
You want me to divine? Let's not talk about whether I can divine it.
Even if I can divine it, I might have been corrupted by the Evil God from the spiritual perspective and turned into a wriggling pile of rotten meat before I can say the result.
Do you really want to see the tragic look on my face when I sacrifice myself so heroically? "
Milan turned herself around like a salted fish and made a funny expression at Elvin with her tongue out and eyes crooked.
"Hmm …"
Milan's words made sense. However, Elvin had encountered a similar problem before.
When he divined the Dead Soul Box in the hands of the God of Opera, Purcell, he had encountered the same problem.
However, at that time, he did not have to worry about losing control or losing his life when he divined it because the source of the power, Purcell, was sealed.
It was just that the divination did not yield any results.
However, the idea at that time could be used as a reference. That was to not directly divine the target with great power, but to divine the target who might be affected by it.
Wherever one walked, there would be traces left behind. Unless one was strong enough to form their own universe, there would be countless connections between them and the world.
It was just like how humans couldn't directly observe a black hole, but they could indirectly observe it through various celestial bodies and microscopic particles that were affected by it.
Divination could also be used in this way.
"Divining Storm Horn's future?"
Hearing Elvin's thoughts, Milan fell into deep thought.
As a newly advanced 'Prophet', he had always been working hard to improve his magical abilities. He had always neglected this kind of technical method that did not belong to the category of magic.
"That's right. As the defense force of the Leiden Valley, we'll be the first to bear the brunt of any accidents.
As long as we can determine when we might encounter unexpected danger, we can indirectly deduce when the enemy will make their move.
Although we might be indirectly affected by a high-level existence, even a few words from the divination would be good enough. "
Elvin felt that his idea was feasible. At least, it had been verified when he confirmed the life and death of the last 'Random Host', Wake Wales.
"It's not that we can't give it a try. Waiting passively all day isn't a solution.
It's just that the greater the number of targets, the higher the difficulty.
We can choose ten people from the crew who are representative of each position, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, even if the official 'Prophet' doesn't get anything, it doesn't mean that we will fail.
Divination still depends on one's inspiration. With enough inspiration, even an apprentice can make a shocking prophecy.
Let this' Prophet 'give it a try! "
After rubbing her chin and thinking for a while, Milan clapped her hands and connected her joints. She was even eager to give it a try.
The risk of this kind of indirect divination was not high. Even if it failed, it would only result in no results. It would not threaten the caster.
However, there was still a difference between actively making a divination that could affect the life and death of hundreds of people and passively receiving information from the spiritual world.
In a passive state, one would not be able to choose the information they wanted to know. They could only act as a signal receiver and passively receive information from the spiritual world. It was just like when he had predicted the fatal danger of the Silver Wing being ambushed by the Shark Tooth Pirates.
Although he had passively received the prophecy, he was the one that Milan did not wish to see the most.
After he became an official Sorcerer (Prophet), he already had the ability to make an active prophecy. He just needed to do more preparatory work for the ritual.
"Give me seven candles, a pot of holly leaf essential oil, a piece of incense, three white crystal accessories, a bigger silver container …"
Milan did not hesitate to list out a series of materials she needed. She knew that Elvin's' Magical Pocket 'would definitely have a reserve of them. She took out her crystal ball, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to go all out.
It was as if the problem that caused the official 'Prophet' to fail would be easily solved in front of him.
However, when he raised his head to confirm the position of the sun, he suddenly froze!
Elvin was still following Milan's instructions with his head lowered. He took out the things he needed from the 'Magical Pocket' one by one. Ever since he had a portable space, he felt that he had a lot more resources.
Not only did he have all kinds of magical supplies, weapons, food, and water, he even threw in two boxes of alchemy bombs that he was qualified to receive as the captain of a battleship.
He, who had once ridiculed Milan for being too cautious, was in fact not inferior at all.
Pa! Pa!
Elvin suddenly felt that Milan patted his shoulder. He raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel that our trouble is coming!"
Milan's face was stiff, and her tongue was shivering. She slowly raised her finger to the sea not far away.
"The result of the divination? How can it be so fast … "
Elvin was halfway through his words when he realized something. He immediately bounced up and looked at the sea not far away from the right side of the 'Storm Horn' following Milan's finger.
The calm and tranquil surface of the sea suddenly changed color!
Gurgle gurgle …
A large ink-like shadow quickly spread under the surface of the water. The seawater seemed to be boiling, and white bubbles kept rolling.
Then, the rolling seawater formed into walls of water that were three to four meters high. With the shadow as the center, they roared and rushed out.
The waves hit the side of the ship, and the water splashed up to the deck.
Splash splash splash … splash splash splash …
The waves came one after another, and it looked like a huge monster was about to emerge from the bottom of the sea. When the white whale emerged from the bottom of the sea to attack the whaling ship, it was like a firefly compared to the sun and moon.
There was no comparison at all!
As a Level Four battleship, the 'Storm Horn' was like an insignificant insect next to the shadow.
"It's so big! Could it be … "
The change did not only come from the bottom of the sea.
Whoosh —
Whoosh —
At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew out from the void. The normal sea breeze on the sea was directly canceled out.
The direction of the waves changed. The waves that were blown by the strong sea breeze and the waves that came from the bottom of the sea intersected on the surface of the sea.
Then, the two waves that were three to four meters high quietly merged into a huge wave that was seven to eight meters high. With a terrifying momentum, the waves surged toward the 'Storm Horn' that was almost within reach!
In Elvin's' Data Analysis Vision ', the wind speed at the moment was like an explosion.
Almost instantly, it increased to 21.8 meters per second, and the 8.53 meter high wall of water came crashing down.
The shadow under the surface of the water had stretched out for at least six kilometers!!!
"Vader, lower the main sail! Change sides with the wind! "
Elvin no longer had the time to observe what was going on. He frowned and quickly gave the order to the boatman. Then, he personally grabbed the rudder and turned the bow of the ship to face the wall of water head-on.
Running away in the face of a huge wave was suicide. Facing the wave head-on was the safest choice.
'Goddess bless! I only hope that it's not a sea monster this time!
Even the 'Child of the Sea's' isn't long enough! It can't be … the 'Mother of the Sea Monsters' is here personally, right?! '
After experiencing a super storm in the open sea, the crew of the 'Storm Horn' was already experienced in dealing with this kind of situation.
Despite the sudden change, they did not panic. Instead, they operated the warship in an orderly manner.
Boom!
The bow of the ship split the wall of water, and waves splashed everywhere. But even so, this Level Four battleship that represented the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology was still pushed far away by the roaring wind and waves.
Crash!
Because the ship adopted the best posture to welcome the huge wave, the wooden hull did not suffer much impact and did not suffer any damage.
However.
Just as the crew was preparing to adjust their posture to welcome the continuous impact of the huge wave, the wind on the surface of the sea took a 180-degree turn again!
At the same time that the huge wave in front of them disappeared like a phantom.
Behind them, a huge wave that was no smaller than the one in front had formed in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
This time, the 'Storm Horn' did not have any time to dodge. The huge kinetic energy threw the battleship into the air. After a short period of flying in the air, it crashed heavily on the surface of the sea.
From the eight-meter tall wave, it rushed into the trough of the wave that was about ten meters tall.
A huge amount of seawater flew into the sky and fell down like a heavy rain, drenching the crew of the 'Storm Horn'.
At this point, the huge wave and the strong wind from before had completely disappeared on the surface of the sea like a phantom.
The crew got up in a daze.
"Sir Captain, look! We seem to be trapped! "
Elvin, who had returned the wheel to the helmsman, did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before he was attracted by Captain Vader's exclamation.
When Elvin looked at the thing that had suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea and completely surrounded his' Storm Horn ', he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"This is … Black Dyke?"
