Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 297 Dive

Actually speaking, this voyage is not much different from the previous voyage.

There is another reason why West has such a lot of pressure, and that is the remodeled Narwhal.

The previous trial voyage made him understand what his captain wanted to do. He wanted to explore those forbidden places that humans had never touched, the bottom of this mysterious sea.

He has been dreaming for the past few days, dreaming that the captain took him underwater and was caught by sea monsters, and the whole ship was dragged into the dark abyss.

"Captain...we...are we really going down?" West, who was pinching a cigarette with his finger, spoke cautiously.

"Of course, do you think I modified the ship for fun?"

"Then...then what are we going to find at the bottom of the sea?"

"Look for something that fell into a deep pit on the seabed. The depth is estimated to be about 500 meters. Simply looking for something, the danger should not be great."

The cigarette butt in West's hand trembled involuntarily. Where is the danger?

Charles looked at West's extremely ugly face, and patted his shoulder with his hand, "Don't be afraid of this and that all day long, think about your family on the island."

West nodded calmly. He knew that money was not easy to get, but he had to fight for his mother and younger siblings!

Trembling, he stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and took a breath, then coughed violently again.

Charles looked at the young man in front of him, as if seeing himself more than ten years ago.

The kind old lady flashed in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he said to West who was beside him: "Why don't you finish your sea trip this time, go back to the island."

There was a hint of excitement in West's eyes, but he quickly became firm, "No, I won't go back. I need to work hard to bring happiness to my family."

Seeing his resolute look, the corners of Charles' mouth raised slightly, and he didn't say anything. "Is your mother all right?"

Seeing the governor mentioning his family, most of the fear and hesitation in West's eyes disappeared.

"Well! I bought my mother a hand sewing machine with the last bit of money left, and now she can do some small jobs. As for my younger brother and sister, they have already joined the school. Even if I die at sea, they can live well. By the way, Captain, after we die, is it true that there will be generous pensions?"

It's scary, but West is obviously ready to die.

At this moment, the side hatch opened, and the blind vampire came out.

"Captain, are you there too?" He said as he walked to West, showing his sharp fangs and biting down on his neck.

"What are you doing?" Charles asked suspiciously.

West, who was sucked blood, endured the pain and replied: "Hiss~ I lost a card game last night. I lost five liters of blood to him. Take it easy."

"Is it that big of a blow? You only have so much blood on your body. Didn't you come here with a blood bag, Orderic? Why do you want to drink his blood?"

"Crack~" The dense fangs were pulled out, and Orderic licked the blood on the fangs with his scarlet tongue in satisfaction.

"Captain, the blood in the bag is not as good as fresh blood. You have drunk a lot of blood, and you can feel the difference."

Charles glanced at the two blood holes in West's neck. "This guy was sucked by you, shouldn't he also become a vampire?"

"How is it possible? It must be a vampire at the earl level to give humans a first embrace, not to mention that the mistress has specially stipulated that each first embrace must be reported." Orderic finished speaking, facing West The wound kept spitting.

When Orderic said this, Charles suddenly noticed that the melting burn scar on his face seemed to be getting better.

"Is the scar on your face healing??"

Orderic said with a hint of excitement on his face: "I have saved up my salary, and asked someone in the black market to buy two drops of the Duke's blood essence from Dark Crystal Island. I will be promoted again soon."

"There is still a black market in Hope Island? Why didn't I know??"

"Although the laws of Hope Island are strong, there will always be darkness where there is light, and this cannot be banned no matter what."

"Help me keep an eye on it, I don't want the island to be in chaos." Charles said in a low voice.

"Captain, don't worry, whether it's Dipper before or James after that, they all know the existence of the black market. It's better to expose these things in plain sight than to hide them all."

Hearing what his old crew member said, Charles immediately felt relieved. He believed that James could do his job well.

"Will your eyes heal when you advance to the next level?"

"Maybe, but the damage caused by this kind of sunlight is very troublesome. It is the natural enemy of our blood race." The two chatted casually against the edge of the boat.

We didn't talk much that day, because Charles saw the Narwhal stop, and they arrived at the previous location of the main island.

"Open the gate and release the water." As the Narwhal began to deform. The icy sea water slowly filled the water tank, the buoyancy of the whole ship changed, and it sank into the pitch-black sea water.

When the sea water embraced the whole ship, everyone on board looked terrified with a hint of excitement. Exploring the deep and strange seabed was unprecedented in the history of Earthsea.

Through the glass in front of the deck, they quickly saw the buildings soaked in seawater, which looked like tombs at this moment.

At this time, no one spoke, and they even tried to breathe lightly, as if they were afraid of waking up something in the sea.

"The big hole is not here, this place is a little bit off, and a little bit further forward."

Charles quickly identified the direction through the glass. At this time, he had no fear of the seabed in his heart. Now he only had a sense of anticipation for clues. He spent a lot of hard work modifying the Narwhal just for such a day.

"Didi~" The sonar suddenly responded, and then the sailors who were looking at the periscope said tremblingly: "The ship... the captain... there seems to be something moving at the 6 o'clock direction of the ship... a big , five times larger than our ship."

This sentence made everyone in the cockpit feel tense, God knows what it is in this sea.

"Don't worry, it may not be interested in us, turn off all the lights."

In an instant, both the internal and external light sources of the Narwhal disappeared instantly, and turned into a giant iron block floating in the sea.

The approaching huge light spot on the sonar did not mean to stop, but accelerated and continued to approach the Narwhal.

Lily was so frightened that she hid her whole body in Charles' clothes, and everyone's face turned extremely pale.

Just when Charles had pressed the button to release the mine, the light spot on the sonar suddenly turned and left quickly to the left.
