Renoir had once said that although being a seafarer was an adventurous and exciting profession, it was also a dull and boring one. Most of the time, seafarers faced the boundless and empty sea day in and day out. All kinds of homesickness, phobias, and anxiety were born.
Fortunately, the system did not seem to make Dafei feel bored.
On the seventh day of the voyage, another unknown red dot approached the fleet. There was nothing more to say. Skylar transformed and set off — scram! Successfully obtained 100,000 experience points.
On the eighth day of the voyage, a strange and indistinct song drifted over from the icy sea. There was nothing more to say. Skylar transformed again and roared! The song stopped abruptly. Another 200,000 experience points were obtained.
On the ninth day of the voyage, another unknown sea monster passed by. Continued to be expelled.
Dafei could not figure out whether these sea monsters were sent by the S-rank chamber of commerce for the mission or by the revival of the chamber of commerce. In short, in front of Skylar, they were all scum that would run away at the sight of the wind! He did not expect his greatest enemy to become his guardian. The world was truly unpredictable. Dafei was filled with mixed emotions.
Every time Skylar's illusion appeared, the black color on Skylar's body would increase. It was getting closer and closer to Skylar's original appearance. This gave Dafei infinite expectations. He looked forward to completely replicating Skylar's original appearance and advancing to the god-level arcane skill!
It was now the tenth day of the voyage. It was three o 'clock in the morning in the real world. Dafei had not closed his eyes for more than 24 hours. His eyelids were fighting non-stop.
He wanted to sleep, but he did not dare to! Sailing on the ocean was actually such a torturous thing! Dafei felt that time was unforgiving. Back when he was playing games, it was not a big deal to stay up all night for three days and three nights. In the end, the adjutant was not strong enough! If Catalina was on the ship, he could still reluctantly sleep with his helmet on.
Wait a minute! Actually, he could still leave it to Anlícia, right? Before entering the icy sea, he was worried that Anlícia was not skilled enough and would definitely fall behind if she did not meet the requirements of the flagship. But it was different now. In this endless sea of floating ice, the fleet couldn't be any slower. No matter what, they wouldn't fall behind, right?
Dafei summoned Anlícia. "You've performed well. It's time for you to steer the ship alone. Are you confident?"
Anlícia let out a long sigh. "Just say it if you want to rest! Don't worry and go! " After saying that, he pushed away Dafei, who was at the helm, and fiddled with the steering wheel excitedly, like a child driving a toy car in a playground.
Dafei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay, okay. You're a genius. Don't let anything happen to you!"
Anlícia snorted, "Even if something happens, it's not my fault! It's the captain's fault! "
— System Notification: You have changed Anlícia's adjutant to first mate.
Dafei let out a long sigh of relief and activated the alarm system. Then, his character curled up in a corner of the cockpit and went to sleep. Of course, he was prepared to be woken up every hour or two.
As a result, Dafei woke up and slept again and again. In a daze, he held on until dawn. He ordered a takeout of egg and beef noodles. After eating two mouthfuls of noodles, he fell asleep again. At lunchtime, he was woken up by the alarm of the sea monster. Then he ordered another takeout of takeout. Wearing a helmet, he squatted in the toilet while eating and then fell asleep again.
In short, he tossed and turned until five in the afternoon. Dafei finally washed his face and brushed his teeth. It was now the sixteenth day of the voyage. If he persevered through the night, he would arrive at noon the next day.
Damn it, playing this game was too hard! For long-distance buses, two or three drivers would take shifts. Who would be willing to take shifts with him? Tsk! I don't trust my player partners. Hang in there, I'll train Anlícia to become a navigator and take over from me!
On the seventeenth day, the dark clouds that had lingered for many days disappeared. The sky was clear, and the sun shone on the countless floating ice in the Arctic Sea, emitting a dazzling radiance. Under the illumination of the sun, the cold wind of the Arctic Sea seemed to bring a hint of warmth.
The sailors subconsciously began to do exercises on the deck. Anlícia, who had been tired from taking over the shift for a few days, wrapped herself in a winter coat and slept on the windowsill where the sun shone in.
It was a rare sunny day and a good mood. I really don't want sea monsters to come and mess things up.
Suddenly, Dafei found a small yellow dot on his radar! Yellow dot? On the radar, green dots represented friendly creatures, red dots represented hostile or aggressive creatures, and yellow dots represented neutral creatures. Generally speaking, yellow dots represented animals, and for it to appear on the radar meant that the animal was not small.
Dafei looked in the direction of the yellow dot, but he couldn't see it! A diving sea monster? Dafei once again confirmed the coordinates of the yellow dot on the Z axis. The Z value of sea level was 0, and the Z value of sea monsters was usually 0 or negative. However, not only was this yellow dot not negative, it was also very large. In the sky?
Dafei looked up, but the sunlight was so bright that he couldn't see it. Where was it? Did this mean that this yellow dot was flying quite high? Or maybe it was facing the sun so that he couldn't see it?
However, it was easy as long as it wasn't a hostile creature. Generally speaking, it was rare to see birds in the depths of the ocean. If there were birds, it meant that they were close to land.
Dafei took out the sea map and checked the route. It seemed that they were still in the middle of the ocean. There was no land or decent island nearby. Could it be that there were hidden islands not on the map waiting for the players to find? Damn, I'm a busy person, and I don't have such a headache.
The fleet continued to move forward. In the afternoon, the sun was getting warmer and warmer, and the sailors' mood was getting higher and higher.
Fire Dragon Island had a ten-month frozen period every year, and now was the two-month sailing period when the ice and snow had just melted. The icebergs floating in the Arctic Sea were naturally the products of the melting ice. However, Dafei was a little puzzled. Since the sailing period was so short and so important, why didn't the Alliance organize a large scale fleet to transport supplies? Otherwise, why was there only one fleet along the way? Could it be that Fire Dragon Island, which made Little Kurtner pale before he set off, was really so troublesome that no fleet was willing to take over? Or was Fire Dragon Island not important in the Alliance? But the fat military officer said that it was the place where the evil dragon was sealed. It should be very important, right?
Suddenly, Dafei realized that he had made a huge mistake, and that was that he hadn't gathered more information about Fire Dragon Island!
At that moment, Dafei realized that the yellow dot on the radar was still there. What's going on? That yellow dot has been following me? Although some dolphins and seagulls liked to follow the ships, it was a little strange for such a huge unknown creature to like to follow the ships.
Dafei was instantly alerted. He took out his binoculars and looked at the sky again, but he still could not see it. The sunlight blinded Dafei's dog eyes.
Dafei was shocked. Something was wrong. If it could not be seen in the morning, that was because it happened to be flying in the position of the sun. But now it was already afternoon, and it was still blocking the position of the sun? To be precise, its position was always between the fleet and the sun. This way, no matter when it was looked at, it would be blinded by the sunlight. This was definitely not a normal animal, right?
In the North Sea, other than floating ice sea monsters, what other dangers could there be?
Dafei hurriedly called the flag-bearer. "Inform the flagship, there is something flying above us. Who knows what it is? It has been following us since the morning! "
After a while, the flag-bearer immediately came in to report. "Captain, they did not see anything flying!"
What the f * ck! Dafei hurriedly climbed up to the observation deck and once again became the captain. For a moment, the entire fleet shared Dafei's god-level vision.
"Did you see it?! I know you still can't see it. I can't see it either. Guess what it is! "
The flag-bearer immediately said, "Captain, the Whaler sent a message. It might be an albatross."
Albatross? It was indeed a large seabird. The problem was —
Dafei anxiously roared, "The problem is, is there such a powerful albatross that can block the sun at all times?"
The flag-bearer said again, "Captain, the flagship sent a message. It might be the legendary Viking pirates."
Dafei's eyelids twitched. Viking pirates?! In the game's official website, a few major pirate forces were introduced: the Barren Island Pirates, the Guiltless Pirates, the Blood Sail Pirates, the Blood Raider Pirates, and the New World Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates. However, there was no mention of the Viking pirates. To some extent, as the believers of Odin in Norse mythology, the Vikings had already broken away from the category of mortals.
As an expert, Dafei knew that every word an NPC said was more or less based on the information revealed by the system. In short, if the NPC said there was, then there was! Skylar's illusion was effective against sea monsters, but it might not work against pirates.
Dafei anxiously roared, "Meeting! Meeting! "
Now, Dafei's ship and Spielberg's small boat were approaching the Radiant Wings.
At this time, Little Kurtner also anxiously roared, "Captain, the legendary Viking pirates have the ability to domesticate albatrosses as scouts! These albatrosses that can use the sun to hide themselves must have undergone special training. It is very likely that they are Vikings. And this is the sea region where the Vikings are rumored to appear! "
Spielberg frowned and said, "But the Vikings only exist in legends! It has been a thousand years since anyone has seen them. "
Little Kurtner anxiously said, "That is because the people who have seen them are all dead!"
Spielberg said in a deep voice, "Is there any basis for this?"
Little Kurtner suddenly became silent. "I only know that the North Sea is very dangerous."
There was nothing more to say! It was better to believe than to believe. If the NPC said there was, then there was! Dafei said in a deep voice, "If they are Vikings, then what are they going to do next?"
Little Kurtner said in a daze, "Of course they are going to intercept us or chase us from behind! After all, there are no islands nearby, so it is hard to believe that there is a Viking base. Thus, they also need to travel a long distance to track us. "
Spielberg frowned and said, "According to the legends, the Vikings' battle prowess is beyond imagination. This piece of floating ice is a good place for their famous paddle dragon-headed assault ships to hide. Once we encounter them, we will definitely lose!"
So that was it! I have worked hard to reach this step. I will definitely not turn back!
Looking at the gradually setting sun, Dafei made a prompt decision. "Once night falls, our fleet will change direction and take a detour!"
