Magus Tech Chapter 428: Raging the waves
On the sea, the Nalu Glory Fisherman.
Everyone looked at the ghost ship that was chasing, and their eyes widened. Fear quickly spread on the deck. Although they didn't know what would happen if they were approached by the ghost ship, it would definitely not be a good result. At this time, people thought of all kinds of legends about ghost ships, and when they encountered ghost ships and many disappeared ships, their faces were extremely pale, at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.
Finally, the sober Captain Morgan shouted: "Set sail! Hurry up!"
"Williams, pull up the anchor!"
"Uh, yes!" The first mate shook his body, came back to his senses, and quickly ran to do it.
"Butters!" cried Captain Morgan again.
"Here!" The second officer also responded.
Captain Morgan stretched out a hand, quickly felt the direction of the wind, and then glanced at the ghost ship that was chasing after him, and said: "The port side is under the wind, Butters, you raise the mainsail for me, and turn right!"
"Understood!" The second officer also did it.
"Galus, hoist the auxiliary sail!" Captain Morgan issued a third order.
"Yes!" The third officer responded and quickly did it.
"Pruda, hoist your sails!"
"Yes!" An experienced sailor ran out.
"Where's the helmsman? Tomya, go to steer..."
"Yes..."
Commands continued to come from Captain Morgan's mouth, but the ghost ship behind them was getting closer and closer, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
At this moment, with a "buzz", the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" vibrated, and the hull made a "twisting" sound, and began to move forward slowly, then accelerated, accelerated, and continued to accelerate .
"Hoo hoo -"
The sea breeze blows and blows all the raised sails, generating a strong thrust, pushing the "Naru Glory Fisherman" to escape from the terrifying ghost ship.
"Oh! Saved!" The crowd cheered.
"Ah, I won't be caught up by the ghost ship!" The sailor also showed a relaxed expression.
Captain Morgan stood coldly on the deck, glanced at the Ghost behind the ship, and unceremoniously poured cold water on everyone on the deck: "Guys, don't be too happy, the Ghost Ship hasn't stopped yet. , He has been following, this is staring at us! I don’t know what they are using, the speed is faster than us, keep one direction, and they will catch up with us in a short time!
But fortunately, their ships are bigger, and it is absolutely difficult to turn. We can use this to try to extend the distance. But you must cooperate with the wind direction... I don't know if you understand it or not. In short, this pursuit has just begun, and no one knows what the outcome will be.
If anyone of you believes in the true god, then go to pray and pray for the blessing of your true god. But... I don't believe in any gods, I only think that fate is in my own hands. Next, I will take full command of the actions of the ship. All the sailors must cheer up. If anyone dares to be lazy with me, I will definitely be the first to kick you into the sea to reduce the weight of the ship.
And passengers, you can stay in the cabin or stay on the deck, but I have one request, that is, don't run around, shout, and don't disturb the sailors' work and my command. Otherwise, I will also throw you into the sea, and I will do what I say! "
After speaking for a long time, Captain Morgan turned around and left the stunned people who hadn't reacted yet.
Walking to the rudder, the captain Morgan pushed away the helmsman named Tomya, began to steer the helm himself, and then yelled at the sailor: "Are you all dead, work!"
"Ah, yes!" The sailors moved quickly as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Ka Ka Ka..."
Captain Morgan kept turning the rudder to adapt to the changing wind direction at sea, and shouted from time to time: "The mainsail is deflected, deflected two scales to the right! Quick!"
"Yes!"
"Auxiliary sail deflection, left deflection six scales, immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Tighten the tail sail and straighten it!"
"Yes!"
The merchant ship turns and accelerates.
Not long after, Captain Morgan shouted again: "Wind to starboard! Watch out, all the sails are all turned to port for me! Williams, Butters, Gallus, Pruda, are you there?" Do you want to eat, give me some strength, hurry up! Kakaka!"
The captain, Morgan, was turning the rudder while drinking continuously. Whether it was the first mate, the second mate, the third mate or the sailors, he trained them like a grandson, obediently, gritted their teeth and worked hard. Even if his hand was cut by the rigging and the blood continued to flow out, he didn't dare to cry out.
The merchant ship turns again.
Doing so was obviously very effective, and the "Naru Glory Fisherman" moved away from the ghost ship at a slow and steady speed.
In a corner of the deck, Li Cha, as one of the few passengers left on the deck, closed everything in his eyes and nodded silently in his heart. He knew where the confidence of Captain Morgan's high-handed rule came from, and that was his own. strength.
Not to mention anything else, just because of the ability to control the ship, Captain Morgan has instantly killed most people in the current world, not even wizards.
After all, wizards may be able to spell, but steering, sailing, and commanding are things that can't be started without familiarity with experience, and without more than ten years or decades of sailing experience. Navigation in the current world has not yet developed to the extent that mathematical knowledge is widely applied on the modern earth. There are no numbers or formulas to explain how to sail, how to steer, and how to speed up. It can only be figured out again and again. The most valuable knowledge in the current world.
And this knowledge cannot be learned without a strong ability.
This is obviously the confidence of Captain Morgan.
Li Cha's eyes flickered.
Turning my head to look at the ghost ship again, I saw that the ghost ship was being left behind by the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" a little bit, gradually leaving the most dangerous distance, getting farther and farther...
……
Time passed, in the blink of an eye, the whole afternoon passed.
When dusk comes, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the sea through the clouds, little by little, piece by piece, the sea seems to be rusted.
At this time, the ghost ship was only a small spot in the field of vision. Almost no one felt threatened anymore, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But Captain Morgan didn't relax, and he didn't dare to relax. Standing in front of the rudder, he never left the rudder.
"Da da da..."
Footsteps sounded, and the first mate Williams brought a bowl of porridge to satisfy the hunger of Captain Morgan~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Captain, why don't you... take a rest. I don't know if that is a pirate." The disguised ghost ship has been thrown away by us a lot, so don't worry too much."
"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong..."
Captain Morgan took the meat porridge bowl, drank the meat porridge in a few mouthfuls, put the bowl back into the hands of the first mate Williams, "Ka Ka Ka" slightly adjusted the rudder, and said slowly: "Things are not that simple."
"Huh?"
"First Bart, then Jack! Two people going crazy in a row is definitely weird! The appearance of the ghost ship is not accidental! So... I guess, the ghost ship may have been eyeing us a long time ago, so The ghost ship will not give up chasing so easily. Not to mention, he hasn't been completely shaken off yet, even if he is really completely shaken off, there is no telling when he will quietly catch up again. We must be serious about this, otherwise I don’t even know how I died.”
"Then—" the first mate Williams was startled, and said, "Then captain, what should we do?"
"What can we do, the next step is to see who has been exhausted for a long time. You tell everyone that they will take turns to rest tonight. There must be at least one-third of the people on the deck, and everyone must get up and work at any time." Prepare for living. Also, prepare more torches and kerosene."
"Captain, you are..." The first mate Williams guessed after hearing what he said, but he was a little uncertain.
"Huh——" Captain Morgan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, and said, "Nonsense, of course we are going to continue sailing at night!"
"Uh..."
