Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 81: Son of Poseidon
The total voyage from Gabriel, the station of the Third Fleet, to Port Newin, where the Royal Naval Academy is located, is about twelve days.
Although Falettis is only a small island country on the west coast of the mainland, the world is too vast. It’s better on the mainland. Even if you get to the open sea, even if it is accelerated by seasonal ocean currents, it is normal for a voyage to last for several months.
On the third day of Ivan’s departure, the sky that had been gloomy suddenly began to rain continuously, and the sea breeze gradually became noisy, and soon the flags on the boat were hunting and hunting.
Fortunately, the supply ship that Ivan was on has been sailing offshore, and it is generally stable. The unpredictable weather at sea is too normal. Even the most experienced navigator cannot accurately predict its changes. As long as the navigation is not affected, the supply ship has no plan to stop and evade.
Maybe it’s raining heavily at this moment, and the sky will be clear in the next moment?
but.
The situation did not develop as they expected. In the middle of the voyage, the weather changes at sea slowly had some bad signs.
woo woo…
Click!
boom——Rumble…!
There is nothing on the side of the coastline, but the dark clouds are a little low, and the continuous wind and rain do not stop at all. But in the direction of the outer sea, layers of dark clouds accompanied by lightning and thunder continued to depress. In the rushing wind and rain, it seemed that the sky and the sea were connected together. The ship was constantly tossing in the waves of several meters high, almost thinking that the sea and the sky were already hanging upside down.
This extreme astronomical phenomenon clearly indicates that a very intense storm has begun to brew.

“Your Excellency, the situation at sea is continuing to deteriorate. I think we need to find a safe place to hide.” The door of the captain’s room was pushed open, and the captain, who was dripping all over, wiped it. Face, loudly asked for instructions from the captain sitting behind the table.
When the captain came in, Ivan was in the captain’s room as a guest.
The captain of this supply ship, Edlin, has the same rank as Ivan, and is also a major, but he is much older than Ivan and is close to forty years old.
The long and easy life on the supply ship made him lose some of the spirit of a soldier. He is more like a gentleman next door than a navy. Facing the navigator’s somewhat rude behavior in front of the guests, he was not angry at all.
”My dear captain, you have run this route hundreds of times. I trust you just like trusting my hands.
go! Prove our professionalism to our customers, I believe you will find a perfect haven for us. “
Mentioned himself in the conversation between the two, and Ivan smiled politely at the two who looked over. Although the weather is a bit bad, he is not nervous. As the captain said, individuals are too small in the face of nature at this time, and it is enough to give experienced sailors enough trust.
“Yes, your Captain.” The captain saluted the two young principals in the captain’s room before turning and leaving.
soon, he arrived at the command of the captain.
The direction of the supply ship was fine-tuned, and it headed towards a small island with a good safe haven several nautical miles away at the fastest speed while maintaining stability.
Ivan has taken many ships, and he found that every captain and his crew have a unique way of getting along with each other.
For example, under the command of Uncle Geer, every crew member on the “Silver Wing” is like a machine part, simple and efficient. But this Major Edlin boldly delegated powers, allowing professional talents to give full play to their role.
Ivan himself has always had a dream of a captain. Although he knows that this goal is still a little far away, it does not prevent him from absorbing the experience of other captains from now on to enrich himself.
”Lower the sail! Get off the anchor! Return to the cabin except for the personnel on duty.”
The navigator of this supply ship was very reliable, and soon led the ship into the leeward side of the island, anchored and lowered its sails to moor.
Crackling…
huhuhu——
The supply ship has just stopped, and the heavy cloud coming from the open sea is directly pressing down like a dumped peak. The rain was instantly stronger by several levels, and even caused the illusion that even the waves were suppressed by the rain.
But the abnormal weather is obviously impossible to be that simple, and there are other weird “things” that are crushed by the cloud and heavy rain.
”Moo roar…Moo roar…”
That is… like a strange roar from some kind of giant sea beast.
“What sound is this?”
After stopping the ship, the captain who still had duties could not go to rest like the other crew members, and simply went back to the captain’s room. The sudden roar sounded, causing the three people in the room to raise their heads at the same time and look out the window.
At this time, the weird roar is getting louder and louder. After listening to it, the long sailing face with gray beard and hair is solemn: “This is not the movement of any kind of marine life I know.”
“Could it be…sea monster?!” The three looked at each other and thought of a disturbing answer.
is just as the captain of a supply ship, Major Edlin is not equipped with expensive alchemical equipment “sea monster pointer” at all, let alone alchemy bombs that can kill sea monsters.
It can be said that if there is a sea monster, this supply ship will have almost no resistance. Even Captain Edlin, the highest combat power on board, was just an ordinary official knight.
Major Edlin and his sailor’s face looked a little ugly at this moment, and the two of them kept drawing iron crosses on their chests with their right hands, chanting words to pray for the goddess’ blessing.
Aiwen is not surprised.
The Iron Cross Church is the common belief of the entire Tulip Alliance. It enshrines the “Goddess of Kingship and Navigation”, one of the seven righteous gods. The black iron cross with an anchor point at the bottom is his holy emblem.
At least 70% of the people in Falates are believers of this goddess, so as long as the word “goddess” is mentioned in public, it is a reference to “goddess of kingship and navigation.”
Because his priesthood possesses the field of navigation~IndoMTL.com~ has a huge influence in the kingdom’s navy, sailors, and fishermen. Facing the harsh marine environment, the smaller one is, the easier it is to trust the gods.
Aiwen is not an atheist, but his reverence for the great existence does not affect his own action to find a way out. He must be prepared for the worst consequences!
The light from the bottom of his eyes flashed slightly, and the invisible fluctuations were transmitted instantly. After receiving instructions, the two needle-tailed Swifts in the distance had already shot high into the sky like off-string arrows, piercing the storm and flew away in the direction where the roar came from.
……
The weird roar came from farther than Ivan had imagined.
The current maximum real-time reconnaissance radius of the seabird scouts is about ten kilometers, beyond this range Ivan can no longer receive real-time images.
The two needle-tailed petrels that received the order flew to the extreme edge of the detection radius, and finally found an anomaly on the rough sea. Can you imagine how powerful an existence can easily spread the roar so far?
When Ivan really projected his gaze onto the sea through the eyes of Needle-tailed Petrel, he was also deeply shocked by the behemoth.
“Gosh, what is this?!”
A huge sea monster that looks like a whale with a bony carapace on its head and thousands of tentacles, floating in the sea like an island.
Just by visual inspection, its size has exceeded two thousand meters, which is much larger than the largest giant species among the common sea monster types of small and medium species, large species, and giant species!
”This…isn’t it a son of a seagod who is comparable to a fourth-level transcendent human?!” A slight tremor rose from the depths of Aiwen’s bone marrow, that was facing the life person. Biological instinct when suppressed.
