Big Black's "crash" didn't last long. First, it fell toward the sea like a log and was swept up by the gale midway. The bumpy ride woke Big Black up from its temporary coma.
Danny's dragon spirit state hadn't been lifted. Although she had been treated by spiritual electricity once, she was still in good condition. After comforting Chora and the others, she began to command Big Black to fly again.
This time, Big Black lowered its altitude.
Danny was no fool. She had already considered the problem of lightning strikes. On Earth, the highest thundercloud layer was only ten kilometers.
According to her original idea, Big Black could cross the dark cloud layer and enter a position close to the stratosphere.
Who would have thought that Big Black would be unable to cross the thundercloud layer even after reaching its maximum altitude of over ten thousand meters? Unfortunately, it was struck by lightning.
(Ps: The original work didn't mention how high dragons could fly, but many birds in nature could fly over ten thousand meters. Big Black was a dragon that had eaten a demigod. Most importantly, dragons weren't limited by low temperature and low oxygen.)
Since it couldn't cross, it would drill under the thundercloud. It couldn't be that the thundercloud layer was ten kilometers thick, could it?
After descending to about two thousand meters, Big Black couldn't go any lower. The lower it went, the stronger the sea breeze. It couldn't maintain its balance in the storm.
Fortunately, this height allowed it to evade the thundercloud.
As such, Big Black was able to pass through it with difficulty.
Five minutes later, the road ahead was vast, dark, and torrential. Gusts of gales whistled past.
Half an hour later, the road ahead was dark. Water vapor poured on Big Black's body, evaporating into a white mist passageway.
An hour later, Big Black's stomach rumbled. It was hungry.
"Haven't we entered the island yet?" Chora asked for the fifth time.
Danny had calmly comforted him the previous four times. "We'll be there in a while. Big Black is flying really fast!"
Big Black was indeed very fast. It could fly 150 kilometers per hour.
Could the Wall of Storm exceed 150 kilometers?
"No, Big Black is lost!" Danny found that Big Black's perception of the magnetic field was in disorder.
When she first entered the Dragon Spirit Fusion state, Dani could receive seven or eight senses from Big Black in addition to the five senses.
Danny didn't know what those seven or eight unfamiliar senses were. She was just an ordinary person who didn't cultivate the Pocket Universe. She could only understand the five senses — eyes, nose, ears, touch, and tongue.
In addition, through taste, Danny knew Dahei's favorite food — bison hind leg bone marrow.
Every time he sucked on the hind leg bone, his taste buds were especially excited.
After several months of continuous testing, Danny identified Magnetic Field Perception, Thermal Perception, and Danger Perception.
Danger Perception had been discovered when the regretful guest had tried to assassinate her last time. When the regretful guest had taken out the box, a perceptual information that she had never understood had jumped intensely.
Danny didn't know what it meant, but she knew that it represented danger.
This was great news for her.
In the future, Danny would be able to observe the intensity of the perceptual signal to deduce whether or not the person on the other side wanted to harm her.
At this time, she suddenly noticed that Dahei's magnetic field perception was fluctuating greatly, so she guessed that he might be lost.
"Can you find your way back?" Whitebeard asked nervously.
"Yes, I'm the best coordinate." Danny sighed and ended the failed Valleglia expedition.
Dahei changed direction and rushed toward Danny's position.
Hmm, he had been flying away from Danny, so theoretically he should … Well, she hadn't thought it through. Flying around the arc of the Wall of Storm was also considered away from Danny.
"Eh, that's … a ship!" Fifteen minutes later, Danny suddenly exclaimed.
"There's someone else exploring the ruins of Valleglia!" she shouted excitedly after coming to her senses.
"What?" Chora and the others were puzzled.
"I'm … Oh, Dahei saw a ship in the storm," she said.
"Impossible." Grolle shook his head.
After waiting for two hours on the bridge deck and not seeing the dragon return, Blackbeard anxiously went to the cabin.
"No ship can withstand such a fierce storm. Once swept in, they'll be torn to pieces in an instant," he said with absolute certainty.
Danny shook her head and said, "Seeing is believing. When Dahei descended to 2,000 meters, he could see sand lizards in the desert. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chora and Ago."
"Kalixi is right," Chora immediately said. "I've seen the dragon fall from a high altitude and capture a sand lizard hidden in the grass."
"This …" Grolle hesitated. "Could it be the wreckage of a ship?"
Danny couldn't be bothered with him.
Dahei circled above the ship for a long time. Through the dark clouds and torrential rain, he could vaguely see that the ship's main sail had been retracted, leaving only the two low sails on the side unfolded like wings.
Although the ship was swaying left and right, it didn't capsize like a roly-poly toy.
This was an expert.
The sea and the sky merged into a dim space. Even with Dahei's eyesight, he couldn't see the people on the ship clearly. He also couldn't see the name painted on the ship.
"When it comes out, should we go over and ask about the ruins of Valleglia?" Danny asked her think tank.
Chora thought for a moment and said, "Don't get too close. Send a small boat over first —"
"No." Whitebeard interrupted him directly and said seriously, "No one who dares to explore the ruins of Valleglia is easy to deal with. More importantly, if the other party succeeds, he must have a huge harvest. No matter what we say, we can't dispel his wariness, unless … "
The old man's blue eyes met Danny's purple eyes directly and said slowly, "Unless Your Highness has the idea of looting a burning house."
You old man, you're very bad!
You've seen through my dark thoughts in just a moment.
If you guessed it, then you guessed it. Why did you say it out loud?
Shouldn't a really good minister immediately put the blame of looting a burning house on himself?
For example, you try to persuade Your Highness to consider the overall situation. For the thousands of people in the seven kingdoms who are looking forward to you, you can do a double-cross. With those treasures and secret techniques, there is hope for the restoration of the kingdom!
Then, I, who is righteous and kind, refuse in every way possible. You try to persuade me again and finally force me to "act first and report later". I can only helplessly …
Sigh!
"Then let's weigh the anchor and leave immediately." Danny looked at his deep and calm blue eyes and sighed, "Compared to a big fat fish, I want to know the method of fishing more … Sigh, forget it. Those guys are probably outlaws. We are not their opponents even if we have bad intentions."
"What fishing?" The tall and strong fat eunuch pulled out the curved sword from his waist and asked in confusion, "Are we not going to rob that ship?"
This idiot, I don't want to bother with you.
Whitebeard seemed to have realized that his daughter really went to her best friend's house and was not fooling around with a wild boy as he thought. He let out a big sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, you are the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and are rich in the entire kingdom. To you, only the people and the honor of the royal family are the most important. The gold and silver of the mortal world are completely meaningless. "
"Hmph, don't you need money to buy Unsullied? Gold royals are meaningless. Go tell that to Tywin. " Chora retorted, then turned to Danny and said seriously, "It is right to leave immediately. We may not be their opponents.
If it is on land, with 80 roaring warriors riding Draconic Horses, even if they have 200 swordsmen, we can still fight. But on the sea, the Centaurs can't even stand steadily.
As for the hundreds of sailors in the fleet, they can protect themselves, but they don't have enough courage and motivation to launch a fatal attack. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the sailors will definitely be defeated. "
If there were pirates attacking the caravan, the sailors could only fight with their lives in order to survive. The battle loss rate could reach more than 50%. But if the death rate reached 10% for Danny, the morale would collapse.
Danny herself understood this, but …
"I didn't say that I was going to rob that ship," Danny said angrily with a straight face. "I only said that I encountered a ship returning from Valleglia and was going to ask them if they needed help and where they entered from."
These bastards, what kind of person do they think I am?!
Seeing that she was angry, the few of them fell into an awkward silence. Grolle also quietly returned to the bridge deck and loudly ordered the crew to raise the anchor, raise the sails, and turn the rudder.
Ten minutes later, Blackie landed on the deck, and Danny hurriedly carried a bucket of fish to feed him.
About half an hour later, the angle of the sails was corrected, and the big-bellied ship creaked as it steered northeast, gradually leaving the Wall of Storm.
Another ten minutes later, the lookout shouted to the deck, "That ship has come out. Someone actually passed through the Wall of Storm!"
"Thud, thud, thud …" A group of idle sailors on the deck quickly ran to the stern and scrambled for a telescope.
Yes, although this world had a medieval system, the level of technology was not low. The lens technology of the city of Meer on the west coast was world-famous, and telescopes were just child's play. Westeros scholars had even built high-precision astronomical telescopes.
Danny did not scramble for the telescope. As long as Blackie at the top of the mast tilted his head, she could see more clearly than the sailors.
An eagle could spot a rabbit running in the grass ten kilometers away from an altitude of 4,000 meters, and could also constantly adjust its visual range and focus to see more details.
A dragon's eyes were stronger than an eagle's.
Danny saw that it was a ship with huge sails as narrow as a blade. The hull was dark red, and the huge sails were as black as the night sky. The wing-like secondary sails were gradually retracted, and the main sail was slowly pulled up. It was actually twice as wide as the ship's hull, with the extra part extending diagonally beyond the ship's side.
The design looked fast, especially fast, as if it was specially designed for fast navigation.
The huge black sail bulged, as full and straight as a King Kong Barbie's chest. The ship shot out of the final storm zone like an arrow.
It had really broken free and passed through the purgatory of the Wall of Storm.
"Captain, they've discovered us!" the lookout shouted.
Black Fire's blazing red eyes adjusted its focus. Danny had also discovered that there was a person standing on the ship's stilts, looking in their direction with a telescope.
The distance between them was about 15 nautical miles, almost 30 kilometers. It was not too far, but not too close either. It was basically a safe distance.
The other party was a fast ship and could leave quickly without worrying about the fleet taking advantage of the situation.
But …
"They've changed direction!" The lookout shouted, puzzled. "They seem … to be coming towards us. Could it be that they're looking for help?"
"Damn it, they're pirates!" Grolle suddenly cursed loudly.
He, too, had been observing the long and narrow ship with his telescope.
