Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 205 Sea of ​​Mist

Charles walked through the dark corridor to the top of the water tank of the Narwhal,

He unscrewed the wooden cover and took a flashlight to shine inside.

This is one of his daily inspection tasks as the captain, to make sure that the freshwater situation is normal,

Just as Charles was about to close the water hatch, he suddenly felt a peeping gaze from the round porthole next to him.

Charles didn't panic at all, he slowly closed the hatch, pretending to leave.

The moment he stood up, the flesh and blood revolver appeared in his hand

"Crack, crack!!" Gunshots rang out repeatedly, and the glass of the porthole shattered, and a green palm with fish webs was torn in half by the bullets.

Charles rushed to the window and found that there was only some disgusting purple blood left in the place except for half of the disgusting palm.

"It's out of the safe route, so all these messy things are starting to come out?" Charles murmured.

At this moment, Charles suddenly sensed someone behind him. He quickly turned around and pointed his gun at the person who came. "Stop!! Say your job title and name!"

"Dipper, as the bosun, leads the sailors in the maintenance of the hull and deck equipment and other daily tasks." The haggard-faced Dipper reported from the spot.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, he put the gun down and walked over. "Why did you run out? Didn't you tell you to go back to bed and lie down?"

"Captain, I'm fine, it's just a little cold. With your scarf, I feel better." Dipper, who was wearing a layer of thick clothes, pulled the gray scarf around his neck with his hand and said.

"It's good that I'm fine. Fortunately, I finally made it through." Charles breathed a sigh of relief. When Di Pu became unconscious a few days ago, he thought he was going to lose his bosun.

"Captain, you can rearrange the steering tasks, I can already steer the helm again."

"Forget it, you're recovering from a serious illness, take more rest, I'll just take the bandages." Charles, with a relaxed face, patted his shoulder with his hands and walked up the ladder.

In the cockpit, a sailor was steering the rudder very nervously, while the bandage beside him silently looked at the dark water surface under the searchlight in the distance.

"It's my shift, go and rest." Charles patted his first mate on the shoulder with his hand.

Bandage nodded silently, pushed open the hatch, and passed Dipper who came in.

Dipper with a hippie smile walked over, snatched the sailor's steering wheel with a smile and cursing,

"Captain, I'm really fine. Look, I'm really well." Dipper skillfully checked all the equipment in front of him, begging Charles to let him take the helm.

Charles sighed slightly, he knew that this kid was not the kind of person who could stay in bed safely.

He pulled a stool beside him and sat down. "Then you should try working on the four-hour shift today. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me immediately."

"Okay, no problem, lying on the boat every day, looking at the doctor's old face, I'm going crazy." Di Pu's voice was relaxed.

"Your temper is still so jumpy, maybe it will be better when you find a woman and have a child."

Dipper chuckled twice.

"Are you still dreaming about your mother recently?"

Di Pu thought for a while and said, "No, she seems to have disappeared for a while."

"That's good. The inexplicable thing that appeared in the dream must not be a good thing. Maybe that thing caused your illness."

"But Captain, that warm feeling is really similar to the mother in my memory." Di Pu said with nostalgia in his eyes.

The two continued to chat one after another, chatting and chatting, the topic of the two turned to the bright land that Charles was looking for.

Charles told him about the mysteries of modern civilization, while Di Pu listened quietly.

Later, Charles didn't know whether these words were spoken to him or to himself.

"Captain, I heard the doctor said that your life won't last long??" Dipper's sudden question interrupted Charles' recounting.

Charles chuckled a little. "That's what he seemed to say. He said I wouldn't live to be forty. By the way, how old am I?"

Di Pu showed a struggling expression on his face, "Captain, why don't we find a way to cure you first, we have to live first to have a chance to find the bright land you mentioned."

Charles shook his head. "I don't have time to waste on this. In my heart, finding the surface exit is always the first priority. Also, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe I will die at sea before I am forty."

Dipper rarely spoke, his eyes were fixed on the outside of the glass, and his hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel.

"Creak~" The stool rubbed against the floor, making a screeching sound. Charles stood up and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Under the bright searchlights, a white mist gradually appeared in the surrounding sea area, and the sea of ​​mist was getting closer and closer.

"Ka Ka Ka" accompanied by the sound of crystallization, some frost condensed outside the glass, and the temperature here dropped in an instant.

Faced with this exciting news, every member of the crew was full of excitement. Life at sea was depressing and uncomfortable. Now that they have arrived in the sea of ​​mist, it proves that they are not far from home.

But this excitement lasted until the fifth day, and was replaced by anxiety.

At the coordinates of the broken island that should have appeared, there was only a pitch-black sea surface, and the Narwhal lost its target.

Orderic in bat form rushed through the cockpit door and fell in front of Charles to become human again. "Captain, I've searched all around here, and there aren't any islands, so it shouldn't be a problem with chart errors."

Charles had a very ugly face. "Damn it, is the chart that guy gave me a fake map?"

Quickly passing the experience of Gavin's contact in his mind, Charles felt that the possibility was very low.

If that kid really wanted to harm him, there was absolutely no need to give him a wrong chart.

Moreover, the supplies on the ship were enough for them to return to the previous island. It was useless for him to do so, except for wasting Charles' time.

He didn't think that the kid was the one who used his life as a prank.

What is wrong?

Charles frowned, thinking about various speculations. But there is no answer.

Just when Charles was puzzled, the bandage next to him pointed to a round frame on the device next to him, which contained a compass. "Captain... there is a problem with that thing..."

Charles rushed over, cocking the compass out with the black blade.

When he saw a small magnet placed at the very edge of the inside, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The compass was disturbed by the magnet, and their ship had strayed to nowhere.

Charles held the compass tightly in his hand, and said to Di Pu in a low voice, "Notify everyone to assemble, there are other things on board!"

Thanks to Fangyuan Gu for the 2000 tip, half a lemming for the 4000 tip, thank you for the 4000 tip with the mantissa 4139, and the 1000 tip for the brightest Tianjin Si, thank you for your support! ! Thanks! ! !
