Lord of Secrets - Chapter 75 74. Hungry Shark
At this moment, Gallia had changed back into women’s clothes because she had been exposed. ♦♦ ♦♦However, she succeeded in being recognized for her extraordinary abilities and knowledge of the sea, and she was not kicked off the ship.
Of course, this is all an act, that is, Galleria and the senior officials who know her identity are pretending to be confused.
There were only 35 people on the entire ship including Gallia.
The one at the top was the captain. Galliya felt like he was a demigod who didn’t usually appear. In addition, there are first mate, second mate and third mate Ruvel below.
A navigator is a person responsible for controlling the navigation of ships and observing ocean currents and maritime weather conditions part-time. There are two lookouts, one of whom is responsible for one direction and controls the field of vision. There are two sailors, responsible for controlling the sail of the ship. There are 22 sailors in total, 4 are responsible for the cannons on both sides of the ship’s side, and 8 are responsible for guarding the ship to prevent enemies from sneaking in or raiding enemy ships. There are also 10 sailors responsible for loading and unloading and other physical activities.
In addition, there are ship’s doctors, cooks and supply managers.
As for Gallia’s position as cleaner, it is gone now. The cleaning work is handed over to 10 other sailors. Her current task is to learn how to observe the sea from the navigator.
At this time, Gallia was beside the navigator Fudegui, patiently listening to his teachings:
“On the sea, astrology, compasses and charts are the most important parts, but sometimes they cannot be completely trusted because there are many mysterious places on the sea.”
“If you stray into these mysterious places, compasses and other instruments usually cannot be used. If it is at night, the easiest way is to look for the blue star in the sky. This is the star that symbolizes the Lord of Storms. It always points to the north.”
“But if it’s daytime or a thunderstorm without stars, you can only judge the direction of the sun, the temperature of the ocean currents, the types of organisms in the sea, etc.”
“And this requires a lot of knowledge, and a thorough understanding of each known sea area.”
“Remember, if it is not the path of the ‘Drowning Man’, do not pray to the Lord of Storms at will, otherwise He may send you a thunderbolt by the way.”
“Of course, the most important thing is that we are not adventurers, so we should not try to challenge those mysterious sea areas and dangerous areas marked on the charts.”
Galliya felt that this was easier to understand than the knowledge in the book. Suddenly, she heard a watchman on the watchtower shout:
“The Hungry Shark has been spotted five nautical miles ahead.”
Gallia was a little surprised that she could spot the enemy from such a distance. She immediately thought if it was a sealed object. She looked at the telescope in the opponent’s hand. It was a little strange. The thing on it was not a lens, but more like an eyeball.
The first mate stepped forward immediately. Galleria had heard his name, Will Haynes. He was a bald, strong man wearing a white vest, but his thoughts were not as thorough as he appeared.
Captain Dinlenson Mewe also appeared at this moment. Standing on the deck, Gallia saw the other party for the first time and looked at the other party carefully:
Wearing a black pirate hat and casual clothes, his hair was meticulously combed, his nose was high, and he had a pair of black eyes that resembled those of a raptor.
He said in a voice full of majesty and power:
“Wait until it gets close and sink it.”
“Yes!” Will responded respectfully.
Several crew members in charge of cannon fire coverage said cheerfully:
“Having held it for so long, let them have a taste of the power of the cannon.”
“Damn it, you dare to worry about our “Black Prince” and don’t even look at whether you have an asshole.”
…
Jia Erlia listened to everyone venting their emotions there, and for a moment she didn’t know whether it was pretending or real.
However, faced with this situation, she was also a little excited. She needed to express herself, make a contribution, and then slowly climb up to finally take control of the “Black Prince”. Although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible to do.
After more than 20 minutes, the ship that was originally a small black dot in Galliya’s field of vision completely appeared in front of her eyes.
A somewhat dilapidated sailboat, about 40 meters long, with a bloodthirsty shark painted on the pirate flag.
At this moment, the opponent is only about 1,000 meters away from the “Black Prince”. Although the cannon’s range is enough to reach 3 nautical miles, the accuracy is not high and it will only waste the shells.
At this moment, First Officer Will gave the order: “Fire!”
Without thinking at all, they just started a war.
For a moment, the sailors lit the cannon, and various types of shells were instantly fired in the direction directed by the lookout.
…
At this moment, aboard the Hungry Shark.
“Captain, the other party has fired cannonballs directly!” The sailor on the observation tower said anxiously, holding a monocular telescope.
“I’m not blind!” The somewhat sinister-looking captain said loudly as he watched the canvas being torn apart by grapeshot, “Let’s open fire quickly too!”
“Stern, hurry up and take some sailors to the Black Prince.”
At the same time, while running towards the wheelhouse, he controlled some water flow to block the incoming round cannonballs, but the speed of the round cannonballs was too fast and hit the deck instantly, revealing a large deep pit.
Stern quickly and carefully came to the side, then took off his coat and quickly jumped into the water.
…
Facing the flying cannonballs, the navigator Fudegui directed the sailors and at the same time controlled the direction of the “Black Prince” to avoid some of the round cannonballs.
During the battle, both sides fired shells continuously, but it was obvious that the Black Prince had better control and more advanced cannons. Although some round shells fell on the deck, they were not seriously damaged due to quality reasons.
The Hungry Shark was bumpy and somewhat fragile, as if it would fall apart at the touch. The captain of the Hungry Shark did not expect the other party to play cards out of the ordinary and launch an attack directly.
At that time, they lingered within the 1-nautical-mile warning range for a while, revealing the pirate flag. Seeing that the other party had no desire to attack, he thought that the other party was afraid of the “Unknown King”, so he boldly approached the Black Prince.
After all, within 1 nautical mile, it is already within the attackable range, and the accuracy will also be improved.
At this time, Ding Lunsen said: “Storm!”
In an instant, the storm suddenly appeared near the Hungry Shark, rolling up huge waves, and the Hungry Shark began to shake, torn by the huge impact of the water flow and the strong wind.
“Demigod…” The captain of the Hungry Shark swallowed a mouthful of saliva in horror, and then said tremblingly. He originally thought that the other party was a novice who yearned for the sea, but he didn’t expect that he would be a demigod.
Especially the demigod of the “Drowning Man” path, who was almost invincible on this sea.
He quickly dived into the water, regardless of the “Hungry Shark” that was about to be dismembered and sunk. This was the only way for him to survive.
The undercurrent was hitting him, and he tried to control the water flow beside him, but it was obviously useless. He felt that his whole body was about to fall apart. He was almost unable to breathe under the huge pressure. He, who originally regarded the sea as his home, suddenly became afraid.
Suddenly, the storm stopped, and he felt that the sea was no longer roaring angrily, but he had exhausted his physical strength and could only find a broken wooden board and hold it tightly.
…
“It’s your turn next!” Ding Lunsen said immediately, his voice was a little rough and loud.
…
The storm is above… Stern felt that today was terrible, and his luck in this life would run out today. Although he was sneaking in the water, he could sense the anger of the sea. The “Hungry Shark” was destroyed by the storm. This was definitely done by the other party. People who could possess such great power were obviously not something they could deal with. Even the “Unknown King” might not offend him casually.
If he could survive, he swore that he would never set foot on the sea again. It was too dangerous.
So he didn’t dare to continue swimming forward, but threw away the sailor knife tied at his waist and changed direction to escape. He did not remind the sailors who were far away from him behind him.
…
Jia Liya felt the water flowing over her body, which was particularly comfortable, just like a fish that had been dry for a long time came to the sea. She swam forward happily at a very fast speed.
Suddenly, she saw someone fleeing in front of her, and she rushed up quickly. Although she felt that the other party’s speed was slowing down, even so, the speed was faster than hers.
She chased for a while and found that the other party’s speed was gradually slowing down, and she was not as energetic as before. Jia Liya then controlled the speed to slowly slow down.
Stern was very annoyed when he saw the woman chasing him, but he was far away from the Black Prince at this moment. Seeing the tired look of the other party, he immediately had an idea.
He immediately changed direction, dived back, and swam towards Carolia like a hairtail.
Carolia turned her head and retreated, occasionally floating her head to the surface to breathe air. Stern approached Carolia instantly with the help of the light blue film, came behind her, and then grabbed Carolia’s feet and pulled back hard.
Carolia struggled backwards, and when she approached Stern, she took the opportunity to hit his abdomen with her elbow.
Stern didn’t expect that the other party still had strength. If he wasn’t a “drowning person”, he would have been hit by the attack.
Carolia had been showing weakness to the enemy just now. She knew that her weakness was her first contact with the mysterious world. Although the other party was a “drowning person” like herself, Carolia’s innate ability as a woman was insufficient and the other party had been a transcendent for a long time, so it was obvious that she was not his opponent.
So she pretended to be exhausted and unable to provide spiritual consumption for the existence of the light blue veil, and could only float to the surface of the sea to breathe air.
Sure enough, when the opponent approached, she used the force to hit him hard. The “drowning man” enhanced their arm strength. Although there was a great resistance from the water, Stern was not easy to be attacked by Carolia.
But then Stern endured the severe pain and kicked Carolia. With the help of the water flow, Carolia was kicked, but it was not too serious.
The two were very good at water, but Stern was obviously better. However, because he consumed more physical strength than Carolia, the two were in a stalemate.
Suddenly, Carolia was locked by Stern’s neck. She felt suffocated and her face flushed.
