He chose Summerdew Ridge mainly because he trusted the two captains' judgment.
Moreover, the survival rate of the Summer Dew Ridge was obviously the highest.
If they tried to sail against the wind, they might not be able to protect The Limpet and make it into the Winter Channel.
If there was an accident, The Limpet would be blown into dangerous waters. According to Angor's information, as well as Roman's "Devil's Sea", there were many strange things that even wizards could not solve. If The Limpet was unlucky enough to crash into one, Angor himself might die, let alone mortals.
To be safe, he decided to take Summerdew Ridge, which he was more familiar with.
Maybe Summerdew would let them go because they were familiar with The Limpet.
If the witch Summerdew was angered, The Limpet would be destroyed. Angor was not completely out of options. He and Toby could take one person each and escape with Helen and Erwin using the sequence of gravity.
With the speed of the sequence of gravity, even an official adept like Summer Dew might not be able to catch up to him. Besides, Angor did not think that Summerdew would come out to kill them as soon as they entered Summerdew Ridge. Even if she did, it would probably be her servants.
Once they escaped, no one would be able to catch up with them. After that, Helen and Erwin would lead the way to the Ferran Continent. It would be safer and faster to reach the Ferran Continent.
If he did not care about the lives of his sailors, he would have done this already.
…
The hurricane came as expected.
Angor returned to the balcony on the third floor and asked Toby to place a gravity barrier around them to maintain their center of gravity. Then, he quietly looked at the apocalyptic scene.
The sea, which had been silent for half a month, finally came to life. The sleeping dragon began to open its bloody mouth, revealing its hideous and terrifying fangs.
The Limpet felt like it was riding a roller coaster. Waves rose from several meters to dozens of meters high, and the waves showed no signs of stopping.
Even with safety ropes, the sailors were still thrown several meters into the air before they fell to the ground. More than one person was bleeding. Their screams of pain were completely suppressed by the hurricane. Blood and seawater were pouring into The Limpet, which was about to sink.
Angor kept his eyes on Erwin and Helen. If anything happened to The Limpet, he would be ready to rescue them.
However, Erwin and Helen were still calm. Even in the face of such a terrifying force of nature, they still displayed the wisdom of mortals. Using The Limpet as their weapon, they were able to survive the raging waves and raging hurricanes.
Again and again, they won the game against nature.
There were times when he thought The Limpet might not hold on for much longer, but the two captains did not flinch in the face of danger. They danced on the edge of a blade and fought their way out of this predicament.
"Mortals are not weak at all …" Angor muttered to himself.
After adjusting several times, the sail finally borrowed the wind's momentum and rushed in the direction it had set.
Some of the sailors were too injured to even care for themselves, but they still cheered when they saw that The Limpet was safe.
"It's not over yet. We're only out of danger for now. There's still some distance to Summerdew Ridge. We must take advantage of the wind and rush in in one go! "Helen roared loudly, conveying her message to everyone on the ship through the loudspeaker.
"No problem! Go with the wind and the waves, victory belongs to us! "The sailors shouted in unison, their young faces brimming with confidence.
Angor was secretly transferring his spirit feelers to Gondola in his bracelet. Now he smiled and retracted his spirit feelers.
Judging from the high morale of the two captains of The Limpet, the Hurricane was going to be another one of their victories.
Angor shook his head and prepared to enter the cabin. He was tanning some animal skins when he came out of the cabin. The hurricane pushed the seawater into the cabin, and his belongings were all over the place. He wanted to go inside and clean them up.
But before he could enter the cabin, he sensed a powerful energy fluctuation behind him. At the same time, Toby dashed out of the cabin.
Angor looked back and saw a group of about a dozen people wearing gray wizard robes appearing in the sky. They were the ones responsible for the energy fluctuation that almost reached the level of an apprentice. The energy fluctuation was extremely destructive, and its target was The Limpet.
Toby flew forward and released a gray sequence of gravity around him, which blocked the energy fluctuation.
Under the shocked gazes of the people on the other side, Toby's sequence of gravity vibrated and deflected the energy fluctuation back.
For a moment, the people in the sky immediately scattered in all directions to avoid this energy that originally came from their hands.
"Who are they, sir?" The attack didn't land on The Limpet, but everyone on the ship saw it and understood that these people were hostile.
Angor gave them a cold glare. "A bunch of rats. Don't worry about them. Keep steering. I'll handle this. "
Angor placed an energy tag on The Limpet and jumped into the air.
"Toby, turn into a griffin!" Toby turned around and summoned an orange-yellow flame. Under everyone's gaze, Toby transformed into a giant half-lion, half-eagle beast.
Angor hopped onto Toby's back and slowly rose into the air until he was at the same level as the apprentices.
Something happened on the deck of The Limpet, which was still floating on the surface of the sea.
"What should we do now, Miss Helen?" Captain Nachi looked at Helen. "The wizard left the ship. Should we wait here?"
Helen glanced at Erwin who was still in the captain's cabin with a grim expression. Erwin's expression was also very ugly. This was something that people like them who made a living on the sea were most afraid of.
Helen muttered to herself. She took off her wet hat and tied her long hair into a ponytail in one go. Then, she put on her hat and waved her hand to order, "Continue sailing!"
"But what if there's no guardian on the ship? What should we do if we run into a sea monster?"
"No buts. That's what Mister Padt told us. We should leave first. I'm sure Mister Padt will come looking for us. " The more Helen spoke, the less confident she became. Could he really take care of a dozen wizards who looked like they were not to be trifled with?
Helen tried her best to calm down and ordered her crew to get back to work.
Seeing that the sailors were still worried, Captain Erwin's voice came from the loudspeaker. "Let's solve the leak problem first before we talk about anything else. As for whether it'll rain overnight, we'll see if the God of Sea blesses us. "
…
In the middle of the hurricane, the dark clouds covered the starry sky.
Judging from the energy waves, Angor was facing a group of apprentices, ranging from level-2 to level-3.
There were thirteen of them in total, and all of them had their faces covered by their hoods.
"That's Sunders' student, isn't it?"
"He doesn't look like one. Didn't I read that he's not even 20 yet? Why does he look older than me? "
"Are you blind, Little Twelve? He must've used some sort of transformation cantrip. Don't recognize him. Look at that bird — er, I mean, that monster. It's Angor's familiar. Lock on to it, and he's not going anywhere. "
"Damn it. Hurricane Sky. It's all the fault of those people from Song of the Deep. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to run so far to stop him."
"…"
The thirteen people on the other side were all talking to themselves, looking very lazy. However, Angor could tell that they were all holding back their auras, which indicated that they were afraid of Toby's monster form.
"Brother, should we go now?" someone asked. At the same time, everyone looked at the man in the middle.
It was a scrawny man with a hunched back. "You're Angor, aren't you? Come with us if you don't want to die. Don't worry. We won't do anything to you as long as you cooperate with us. If you don't want to — "
A chilling laugh came from the man's mouth.
He glanced down and saw The Limpet flying away with the help of the wind. After making sure that The Limpet was out of their range of attack, he slowly raised his head and looked at his enemies.
"Do you really have no confidence in me, Rat Ant Society?" Angor's voice was cold, but he didn't sound nervous at all.
He knew who these people were as soon as he saw them. The robes they were wearing were made of real gray linen, which wasn't expensive even in the mortal world.
He was dressed so shabbily, and his energy fluctuations were so obscure. He didn't even need to think to know that he was a wasteland apprentice, or perhaps a wandering apprentice.
The Rat Ant Underground Society was the favorite place for these wanderers.
Angor didn't think twice about their identities.
"What do you mean?" The hunched man frowned.
"Don't you think it's humiliating to send people like you to attack me?" Angor smiled. As the other apprentices gasped in surprise, the environment around them slowly changed.
Before the hurricane stopped, a thick white mist suddenly surrounded them.
The rapidly changing mist quickly blinded their eyes.
"When did he set up this illusion? Why didn't I sense any energy signature?"
"Quick! Find the illusion nodes! Or we'll be in trouble! "
While they were searching for the nodes, someone suddenly screamed from behind them.
"What's wrong, Twelve?"
"He's attacking me! He's right in front of me!"
In the fog, the hunchbacked man suddenly had a bad premonition. He hurriedly said to the others, "Be careful. Be careful of any traps."
However, it was already too late. Several fierce attacks had already been launched. At the same time, an even more terrible scream came from the front of "Twelve". Everyone realized that it wasn't Angor.
