Release that Witch - Chapter 1159

[Chapter 1133: Tide of Shadows]

At the same time, the whirlpool Haidong domain.

A large-scale fleet lined up in a five-way column, floating outside the Shadow Islands.

One of the most eye-catching ships is the Snow Wind, whether it is the black steel hull or the billowing black smoke above the head, it is clearly distinguished from other sea ships.

At this moment, the deck of the Yukikaze is busy.

The sailors were running back and forth, making final preparations for entering the archipelago.

Lei Ting explained the precautions to everyone on the bridge, “You are all the best explorers in the fjords, and it is not the first time for many of you to come to the Shadow Sea, so I won’t talk nonsense. The position is erratic, and when the tide is low, there will be heavy fog, so you can’t take it lightly at any time, understand?”

“Boss, don’t worry,” an adjutant patted his chest and said, “We have been with you for so many years, when did we make a mistake? But the four major chambers of commerce insist on sending a big ship to follow, and if there is a problem, it will happen.” on them.”

“That’s right, a few small boats are enough. A three-masted ship is not a good choice if you want to travel through the seas full of hidden reefs.”

“They probably think that their ships are as flexible as the Xuekaze. Don’t expect us to turn back when they hit the rocks!”

This caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

“If we are worried that we will conceal the discovery, why don’t we just let the captain take our boat with the wind?”

“Those chambers of commerce clearly want to have a greater say in this expedition.”

“I just said that their funding is not easy to get.”

“However, if you want to go further east, you can’t do without a large-scale fleet. There is no way.”

Looking at the noisy crowd, Camilla Darry on the side sighed slightly.

During the nearly month-long voyage, she also had a basic understanding of the Shadow Sea.

This place seems to be the center of the whirlpool sea. Every tide rises and falls from here, and it is also a sea area with the most obvious fluctuations.

The drop between front and back can even turn thousands of submerged reefs into an archipelago. Compared with it, Sleeping Island is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

What’s even more incredible is that it has been more than ten years since the Shadow Islands were discovered, but there has never been an accurate chart. The reason is that the hidden reefs here are not fixed-all hidden underwater objects seem to be Constantly moving positions, even the huge ruins are no exception, if you want to cross the sea, you have to wait until all the reefs are out of the water.

Because of this, the difficulty of navigating in it can be imagined.

But this group of people in front of them didn’t look like well-trained professionals at all, but more like a group of… brave and ruthless bandits.

The identity of an explorer does have a good reputation among the fjord people, but among her peers, she can’t see this at all. Except for a very few people like Lei Ting who can convince others, most of them are masters of their own way.

For Camilla, who was once a nobleman, the nature of such a chaotic scene disgusted her. If it wasn’t for the request of Her Highness Tilly, she really didn’t want Joan to act with this group of people.

Sighing, she realized that she actually missed the First Army of Neverwinter – at least they wouldn’t be as noisy as monkeys when they were performing tasks, and they would always stand upright and energetic in the lineup at any time. pleasing to the eye.

Resisting the discomfort in her heart, Camilla left the bridge command room and came to the back deck of the big steel ship.

At a glance, she saw Joan playing at the stern of the boat, and Ms. Margaret by her side.

Seeing her appear, Joan immediately shrank behind the businesswoman, only showing half of her head to look at her.

Obviously I heard that when she was in Neverwinter, Joan was able to get along with many witches normally, and even made friends with Maggie and Lightning.

Camilla couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged, is it so difficult for her to be recognized?

In terms of time, she can be regarded as the second most contacted person besides Margaery.

The businesswoman smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood?” She pointed to the corner of her mouth, “It’s all on your face.”

“No,” Camilla froze, “I just…”

“You don’t like the atmosphere in the command room, do you?” Margaery seemed to see what she was thinking, “I told you a long time ago, let those men worry about the adventure, you just concentrate on admiring the scenery on the sea, Treat it like a trip.”

“How can that be?” Camilla frowned. “If you stay out of everything, wouldn’t it be like putting your life in their hands?”

“Don’t you trust Lei Ting?”

“I……”

Margaret took her hand and walked to the fence, “Your sense of responsibility is admirable. I don’t think Lady Tilly would have entrusted Sleeping Island to you to manage. But sometimes, trusting others occasionally is just as important.” Not bad – not only Lei Ting, but Lady Tilly too…”

How could I distrust Her Highness Tilly? Camilla thought so, but found that she couldn’t easily utter the rebuttal.

She has always disagreed with the relocation of witches to Neverwinter.

“What’s more, after staying at sea for a long time, it’s easy to drive yourself crazy because of constant tension,” Margaret continued, “Don’t look at them as a bunch of uneducated bandits, they are still very good at sailing skills. of.”

Camilla finally found a place to speak, “I have to declare, I didn’t say that…”

“But you think so, right?” The businesswoman’s words quickly left her speechless, “Hahaha, it’s nothing unusual, the nobles of the Four Kingdoms see us as barbarians, just look at Mo Jinsha like us People are like barbarians. To be honest, I have only seen one aristocrat who does not discriminate at all, or the reason for discrimination has nothing to do with birth.”

As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she really could only think of the name.

After all, that person had publicly extended a helping hand to the witch four years ago.

If it was thought that he might have hidden evil intentions before, this excuse no longer exists now, because the rescued witch has become the queen of Graycastle.

A little more… Trust?

Just when Camilla was silent, there was a faint muffled sound from far away in the sea, like a huge wave was sweeping towards them, and like countless schools of fish rolling and restless on the sea surface—but she knew it was just her As far as the eye can see, the sea is still calm.

“The tide is starting to ebb.” Margaery whispered.

“Acridine…acridine…” Joan nervously grabbed the corner of the businesswoman’s clothes.

After a quarter of an hour, Camilla saw a change.

A pointed stone protruded from the surface of the sea… followed by the second, and the third… It would be more appropriate to say that it is a stone forest rather than an archipelago. They are slowly rising from the water, occupying a large area in a short while. sea area.

When the water surface fell more than five meters, the thicker islands and reefs under the stone pillars gradually revealed their real bodies.

Camilla couldn’t help but hold her breath.

This is the first time she has seen such an incredible scene – because the entire sea area is falling, the sea line at the end of the field of vision “floats”, as if it has risen above the islands.

But that’s just an error caused by vision, and the accurate term should be “slope”: the original sea line becomes the top of the slope, while the shadow sea area becomes a slightly sloping slope.

However, even so, there are still no waves on the sea surface. If you plug your ears and look back, it can still be described as calm and calm.

After such a spectacle lasted for about an hour, water mist appeared between the islands and reefs, and the Shadow Sea finally showed its true appearance.
