After Helen left, Angor checked Lucas' logbook again.
According to Helen, this route was not as peaceful as it used to be. All kinds of storms and storms would happen every now and then. He was lucky this time. The weather was fine, and he made it through without much trouble.
"Looks like I overthought it." Angor rubbed his temples and closed the scroll in frustration.
He closed the scroll and read the title again.
Generally speaking, only when people were extremely lacking in a certain trait would they deliberately emphasize that they had that trait.
The title was "The Logbook of Lucas, the Most Honest Captain in the Age of Gold". Who would put "most honest" in front of their logbook? The reason Lucas emphasized that he was an "honest" captain was probably because he lacked this quality.
But Angor also believed that people who liked to lie would rarely tell the truth. Only people who did not believe them would insist that they were "honest". From this perspective, there seemed to be a possibility that Lucas's logbook was true.
Angor shook his head. His mind was in a mess. As for Lucas' logbook, he was still doubtful.
He put away the scroll and continued his research on the "boots of flight".
The clock on the wall kept moving. Day turned into night in the blink of an eye. The gentle moonlight covered the calm sea with a layer of starlight.
Angor finally looked up after half a day.
A pair of artistic black leather boots appeared on the paper. There were delicate dark patterns on both sides of the boots, which gave them a mysterious look.
"First time making shoes. Let's start with the simple ones," Angor muttered to himself.
He had made many clothes these days, but this was his first time making shoes. He took out the necessary materials from his bracelet according to the blueprint and began to cut and tan the leather before making them.
When he was about to finish the leather, he heard some noise outside.
Since he was almost done with his work, Angor opened the door and went to the balcony to see what was going on outside.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dazzling light shining in front of him.
"Tweet tweet tweet!" Toby flew out from the room and happily circled around Angor when he saw the beautiful scenery outside.
The starry sky was boundlessly resplendent. This was already a beautiful scene, but what was even more dazzling was the sparkling brilliance under the surface of the sea.
The starry sky covered the surface of the sea. At the same time, rings of sparkling light appeared beneath the surface of the sea.
On the calm surface of the sea, it was as if countless glowing donuts had appeared and were drifting with the waves. Coupled with the stars in the night sky, it was simply beautiful to the extreme.
This was also the reason for the clamor of the sailors.
From their conversation, Angor learned the name of the phenomenon: Death Ring.
The glowing ring under the sea was actually a creature called the Death Jellyfish. Its body was very fragile, but its body was highly toxic. Those who were pierced by the Death Jellyfish had almost no chance of survival.
Because there were too many dead jellyfish piled up here, and in addition to the fact that they would flicker in the night, this phenomenon was called "Death Ring". At the same time, it was also the name of this area.
Helen also appeared on the deck. Unlike the other sailors, who were only here to admire the beauty of the Death Ring, she ordered the sailors to work together in an orderly manner.
They were about to change their course and enter Winter Passage. Everyone needed to change into warmer clothes, check the ice saw at the bottom of the ship, and apply anti-freezing oil to the most vulnerable parts of the ship. All these things had to be done in a short amount of time. The sailors who were enjoying the scenery had no choice but to return to their posts.
Angor also jumped down from the third-floor balcony and landed beside Helen.
"Good evening, Sir." Helen was stunned for a moment before she bowed respectfully.
"We're entering Winter Passage soon?"
"Yes. The Limpet is already slowing down. We'll do some final maintenance inside the Death Ring. We should be able to enter Winter Passage in about an hour."
He looked around. To be honest, all he saw was the sea. He couldn't see where the "waterway" was.
"I'll draw a temperature-stabilizing rune on the ship, which will keep the ship's temperature at a normal level so that it won't get too cold. However, in order not to damage the hull and ensure the integrity of the hull, this temperature-maintaining mageweath can only be made using floating mageweaths. Therefore, it won't last for too long, only about half a month. "
Helen was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir. Half a month is enough for us to leave the Frigid Winter Waterway."
Angor nodded. He took out a bottle of Gargoyle Blood Ink from his bracelet and began to draw the rune. He knew that some people on the ship needed to check the temperature, humidity, and wind direction to determine the weather, so he left an observation deck outside the range of the rune.
Angor worked quickly. The rune only needed to be supplied with energy, and the ink itself was already releasing energy waves, so it didn't take much effort. However, it would take him at least half a day to fully cover The Limpet with the rune.
The Limpet was slowly moving forward while Ye Zichen was drawing.
Soon, he heard someone yelling. Before he could make out the content of the yelling, he saw everyone moving. The Limpet abruptly changed its direction and sped up.
"Sir, Tulu just told me that there's a strong tornado coming." Helen quickly came to him. "But …" Helen quickly came to him and reported.
Angor recognized Tulu as the young fisherman who told him the story of Naya the Beauty.
"Are you sure?"
"That's why Captain Erwin brought Tulu on The Limpet. He's never been wrong about the weather ever since he joined the ship," Helen said.
Angor frowned. They were in Death Loop, which happened to be the intersection point of all the surrounding seas. It would be terrible if the ship was carried away by the hurricane and entered a dangerous area.
"Do you have any ideas, sir?" Helen looked at Angor eagerly.
Angor considered for a moment. If he used the sequence of gravity, he might be able to stabilize The Limpet. However, they were up against nature, and it would be difficult for them to deal with it for a long time.
However, the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring, so he had to give it a try.
"How far are we from Winterfrost Channel?"
"At full speed, we can get there in half an hour," Helen said.
"How long until Tulu says the hurricane is here?"
Helen was staring blankly into the distance. Angor followed Helen's gaze and saw the clouds in the distance moving rapidly. It looked like a dragon was slithering toward them.
In the hologram tablet, he once saw Qian Jiangchao charging at him like a white line.
Now, there was also a white line coming from afar. However, this white line was countless times larger and more terrifying!
"The hurricane is here," Helen said in a daze.
Angor checked the time and estimated that it would reach The Limpet in less than two minutes. In other words, if they wanted to reach Winterfrost Channel, they would have to rely on the sequence of gravity for at least half an hour.
With his and Toby's sequence of gravity, it would be extremely difficult for them to hold on for half an hour against Mother Nature.
"How long will it take to get to the other two safe routes, Summerdew Ridge and Windless Sea, by boat?"
"We are now on the Frigid Winter Sea Route, so we are quite far from the other two sea routes. It will take us two hours to reach the Summerdew Ridge, and more than five hours to reach the Windless Ocean."
"Then there's no other way. We can only take the Winter Sea Route. But I don't know if we can make it. "Angor glanced at Toby." Looks like we'll have to do our best. "
Toby nodded and called out to Angor.
"There's another way. Let's ride the wind," a man's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Helen turned around and saw Erwin standing at the door with a serious expression.
Ride the wind? Helen also seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. "Captain, do you mean that we can borrow the power of the hurricane?"
Erwin quickly joined them. "That's right. If we're going to Winterfrost Channel, we'll have to go against the wind. But if we ride the wind, we can take advantage of it. "
Erwin took out a map and pointed at an area.
Summerdew Ridge.
"Summerdew Ridge? We can ride the wind. With the wind, we can even reach the Summerdew Ridge in a short time, "Erwin said.
"This is indeed a good idea, but …" Helen carefully looked at the sea map, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face. "But will the wind really be as we think? The hurricane at Devil's Water is a dangerous element, and it can easily change its course. "
"We'll have to leave it to fate then." Erwin sighed.
Helen didn't say anything.
In the end, they both looked at Angor and waited for him to decide the final route.
"I don't know which route is better. But if we go to Summerdew Ridge, won't we be attacked by Summerdew Witch? "Angor asked.
"Yes. But if Summerdew Witch is in a good mood, we can explain the situation to her. Maybe she'll let us go. There have been many ships that went through Summerdew Witch's territory before. Even mortal ships, "Erwin said.
Helen chimed in, "Most of those ships were attacked when they went too deep into Summerdew Ridge. We can stop at the edge of Summerdew Ridge and wait for the hurricane to pass. Then we can return to Death Loop and choose another route. "
"But some of them were attacked as soon as they entered Summerdew Ridge," Erwin added. "So, no matter which path we take, there will be dangers. We can only leave it to fate." Helen nodded her head and said, "So, no matter which path we take, there will be dangers.
He turned around and looked at the approaching hurricane.
How long could he and Toby maintain The Limpet at this rate? He didn't know.
"Let's ride the wind and go to Summerdew Ridge."
"Alright! We'll call for help right away. " After receiving the order, Helen and Erwin did not hesitate and immediately went to arrange their own affairs.
Angor watched the hurricane in silence.
It was normal to run into such a hurricane at Devil's Water. But this was the first time they ran into one in such an important area.
It could only be said that their luck was really bad.
