My Magic Age

Chapter 936 38. Storm at Sea

The sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of thick ink, the clouds were so low that it was scary, and the big raindrops hit my face, which was cold and painful.

The rain is getting heavier and the wind is getting stronger on the sea.

Soon, water began to accumulate on the deck. Rainwater passed through the drainage channels on the ship and leaked from the sides of the ship on both sides.

The waves are higher than the waves, and the waves are like fast-moving sand dunes.

In the early days, the sailboat was just very bumpy. Later, it felt like climbing a mountain. When a huge wave came, the sailboat climbed up against the wind and waves. When the wave peak reached the highest point, the sailboat was swept by the huge wave. The waves lifted up, and it was more than ten meters high from the sea. When the waves passed, the sailboat fell downwards without any scruples. The heavy hull hit the sea, making a "crunching" violent friction sound, and there was a sense of "ship". It feels like the main keel may break at any time.

The chandelier in the cabin kept shaking, and the teacups on the round table rolled to the ground, making a clanking sound. We held on to the table to steady our bodies.

"Rush out! The only way now is to quickly get out of the center of the storm, otherwise we will be swallowed up by the huge waves sooner or later. We can't go with the wind. In that case, the storm will only engulf us completely. We have to Rush out of the side of the storm." Jacques finally made a decision. He pointed at the chart, drew a huge arrow on it with a pencil, and said to Noah and me: "Let's go this way."

"If we are lucky, we may be able to escape from the center of the storm within a short distance. If we are not lucky, we can rush to the islands here and maybe find a natural shelter." Jacques was on the chart again. A big circle was drawn on it, indicating where we should gather.

No matter what, this is a solution after all, which is better than no solution at all.

Rather than sit here and wait for death, it is more in line with our actual situation to rush in and face the storm to find a safe place.

Now that the plan has been made, Noah and I will return to our ship.

"However, no matter what, you must pay attention to safety. If there is danger, send a magic signal to us. Jijia and I will find a way to come and save you."

Before leaving, Noah hugged Jacques and stuffed three magic flares into Jacques' arms.

Probably because he was facing a storm independently for the first time, Jacques seemed a little excited. He was a little eager to try, and said to Noah: "Don't worry about me, this is just the most common tropical storm at sea. You will be fine if you escape it."

Then he said to Noah and me: "You must let the sailors on the ship control the sailboat and follow me closely."

I took out two temporary copies of the nautical charts copied on the magic parchment. One was given to Noah, and the other was kept for myself. The original one was on the table, and this one belonged to Jacques.

Noah pointed to the destination of our trip and said: "If you get separated in the storm, you must remember to go to the sea near Connerson Island!"

Noah, Jacques and I folded our hands together and said ‘take care’ again.

When he walked out the door, Senior Dylan seemed to have something to say to me, but it probably wasn't about the tropical storm, so he swallowed it back.

I said to Senior Dylan: “I’ll leave it to you, Jacques!”

Senior Dylan nodded to me.

I know that he understood the meaning of my words. I mean: If the Belain sinks in this storm, you must take Jacques with you when you escape by magic harpoon.

Senior Dylan said: "Don't worry, I will take care of him!"

Noah and I were both concerned about the safety of our own ships, so we did not stay on the Beran for any longer and each returned to our own ships.

When I pushed open the door of the captain's cabin of the Belan, a wave of waves came over me, like a roller coaster. I quickly grabbed the door frame tightly to avoid being thrown out of the ship.

Riding on the magic robe, I braved the wind and rain and returned to the Slave Trader. The rain soaked my black magic robe. Catalina opened the door and welcomed me into the room. She wiped my wetness with a dry towel. I looked out through the glass window of the captain's cabin. The raindrops hit the glass window and gathered into streams of water.

I said to the first mate in the captain's cabin who was responsible for driving the ship: "Drive our ship and follow the Shirley in front!"

The first mate grabbed the steering wheel with both hands. When he saw me pushing the door open and walking in, he seemed a little nervous and nodded slightly to me.

The storm came without warning, catching him by surprise.

There was originally a captain on board the 'Slave Trader', but when he was fighting with us, he was split in half by Kalantso's sword and died.

The first mate was very discerning. When he saw that we had taken control of the sailing ship, he immediately expressed his surrender and signed the slave contract obediently. The most indispensable thing on this slave ship is the 'slave contract'.

The sailors on the deck faced the wind and rain and made necessary reinforcements to the hull. Each sailor tied a rope around his waist. They were worried that a big wave would hit and people would be knocked into the sea. In such a harsh environment, , once it falls into the sea, it is difficult to get back on the ship.

Two sailors were pulling an arm-thick cable and trying to wrap it around a pole. This was a cable hanging from the mainmast. Soaked by the rain, the cable was extremely heavy. The two men were also Just barely able to pull it.

The two sailors tried their best, facing the wind and rain on the sea, shouting slogans, and tied the cable to a knot on the pillar.

A wave like a sand dune surged over, and the 'Slave Trader' was pushed upward by the huge force. The entire hull tilted upwards at 45 degrees. All the sailors on the deck immediately gave up the work at hand, holding hands tightly. He grabbed the safety rope around his waist and hung it awkwardly on the deck.

After the crest of the wave passed, the moment the ship stabilized, all the sailors struggled to stand up from the deck. After the crest of the wave, the ship lost its lifting power and suddenly fell.

The cable tied to the pillar shook violently and suddenly detached from the pillar. The moment it was detached, the two sailors who were struggling to stand up holding the pillar were thrown away.

The seventy or eighty meter long hemp rope became extremely heavy after being soaked in the rain. Affected by the inertia of the ship's hull, it swung back and forth in the air like a huge whip.

The two sailors simply had safety ropes tied around their waists. Although they were thrown out of the deck, they were still hanging from the outside of the ship because of the safety ropes, as if they were swinging on a swing.

Kalancso was wearing a light leather armor and stood on the deck, as if she was glued to the deck. No matter how violently the sailboat shook, she could not be shaken at all.

Seeing two sailors being thrown out, their bodies hanging outside the ship's planks. The ship was rocking and they couldn't climb out. The other sailors were too busy to take care of themselves and didn't dare to come forward to rescue them. She rushed to the side of the ship in a few steps. On the side, his feet were supported on the edge of the ship's side, and he grabbed the safety rope with both hands and pulled the two sailors back from the ship.

The sailors in the storm fell silent. They stood in the rain and looked at Kalantso in surprise, as if they could not connect her with the woman who usually only used to whip people with a rattan whip in one hand.

"If you dare to fall in recklessly again, I will cut off this rope and throw you into the sea to feed the fish, so as not to see you hanging on the boat and get upset." Kalancso kicked the two hard. The sailor put his feet up, turned around and said to the sailors standing in the wind and rain: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? If you don't work, no one will be able to eat tonight."

When the sailors heard Kalancso's angry rebuke, they became alert and started busy with the things at hand.

A bigger wave came over, and our boat was like a skateboard on the wave. Driven by the waves, it flew behind the "Shirley".

Our boat was chasing the "Shirley" in front of us. The first mate's driving skills were pretty good, and he safely avoided several very dangerous wave crests.

At this time, a wave like a hill came over in the distance. Due to the heavy rain, the vision became a little blurry. It was unknown what happened to the Shirley. The hull suddenly appeared in front of the huge wave. After a sharp turn, the sailboat, which was facing the huge waves, turned its bow and hit the huge waves dozens of stories high.

When the Shirley climbed into the middle of the huge wave, I stood on the Slave Trader and had to put my face against the glass and tilt my head to see the hull of the Shirley.

At this time, the 'Slave Trader' is chasing the 'Shirley'. If we follow the trajectory of the 'Shirley' and head up against the crest of the wave, our ship will also be in danger. We are responsible for sailing the ship. The first mate's face was pale and he stared at me with a look of despair.

"Let's get out of this big wave!" I said to the first mate.

The first mate quickly turned the steering wheel, and the Slave Trader staggered away from the front of the wave crest and rushed diagonally to the left side of the wave crest. The huge pressure generated by the influx of seawater made the sailboat make a loud "creak" sound.

Pushing open the hatch, I stood outside in the violent storm. As soon as I got on the magic boat, I saw that the huge wave had reached the top of my head. The entire huge wave formed a hollow cylinder, completely wrapping the 'Slave Trader'. Inside, Catalina caught up with me from behind and dragged me into the cabin. A large amount of seawater rushed across the deck of the ship.

Kalantso and a group of sailors were beaten by the waves and could not stand up on the deck. The sailors had safety ropes on their bodies and were always hung on the ship. However, in such big waves, injuries were inevitable. At the critical moment, Kalantso threw a handful of The dagger was nailed to the ship's board, and he held it tightly with both hands to avoid being washed into the sea by the sea water that spilled onto the deck in the huge waves.

The 'Slave Trader' was pushed to a higher place by the huge waves. The first mate controlled the 'Slave Trader' and always kept the ship running towards the top of the waves. It was driven forward by the huge waves, as long as it was a little slower. will be swept into the sea water.

The 'Shirley' has completely disappeared from my sight.

Things happened so suddenly. When I realized that the situation was not good, I tried to find Noah again, only to find myself on the vast sea, with rough and raging waves, and several lightning bolts falling from my head from time to time.

I pushed away Catalina who hugged me tightly from behind, rushed out of the captain's cabin despite the wind and rain, stepped onto the magic harpoon handle again, and rushed into the air.

Under the dark clouds, the sky looked like it was evening. There were a lot of water elements and thunder elements floating in the air. The strong wind was raging in the air. I rode on the magic handle and rushed towards the sky against the heavy rain. The strong wind blew me away. Staggering around, I wanted to look for Noah in the sea.

But in the distance, he saw the Beilan being chased by another wave. The Beilan was also chasing the waves in a panic.

Only Noah’s ‘Shirley’ was missing.

Just when I was anxiously looking for the 'Shirley' in the sky, thunder suddenly rolled in the dark clouds. Dozens of thunder waterfalls fell from the sky and struck towards me. The abundant thunder elements in the air surged. When I moved, it was like a flood that burst a dam, rushing into my body crazily.

I rode on the magic broom handle, floating in the air, constantly receiving the baptism of thunder and lightning.

The moment the lightning column like a mad python surged into my body, an energy vortex formed by thunder and lightning surged out of the shoulder blade containing the "thunder seed" on my left shoulder, madly absorbing the power of thunder and lightning in the air, and an energy vortex formed by whirlwind surged out of the shoulder blade containing the "wind seed" on my right shoulder, madly absorbing the power of the storm.

Between heaven and earth, the surging magic power flowed into my body.

My spiritual sea seemed to come alive at this moment, and my "momentum" unfolded under my body. It was a golden ocean with surging waves. The sky was also surging with wind and clouds, and there were electric snakes in the clouds from time to time, falling to the golden sea.

I found that the "momentum" I had was no longer just the golden sea. On the golden sea, there were also dark clouds swept by the wind and countless electric snakes.

At this moment, my body was out of my control. Without continuous magic power transmission, the magic circle on the magic broom suddenly stopped running, and I fell from the sky.

Just as I fell from the sky, a strange scene appeared in front of my eyes.

The "Shirley" rushed out of a huge wave several tens of meters high and floated on the sea again, like a big hand of a god, picking up the ship from the water. The sea water kept pouring down from the ship, and the "Shirley" continued to follow the waves on the sea.

It was obviously swallowed by the huge waves just now, but at this moment it came out of the huge waves in an extremely magical way, which surprised me.

The sound of surging waves, rolling thunder, and the sound of wind and rain mixed together and filled my ears. In addition to these sounds, there was also a woman's cry.

I tried to transmit magic power to the magic broom under me, but I desperately found that I was in a paralyzed state and my body was out of my control.

A figure with black and white wings, like a ghost in the dark night, passed by me with a "whoosh", circled slightly in the air, nimbly dodged a falling electric pole, and hugged me before I fell into the sea.

In the wind and rain, Deborah's innocent little face was covered with rain, her eyes were blurred, and she flapped her wings desperately, dragging me from the air, and stumbling back to the "Slave Trader".

Deborah couldn't land smoothly on the ship speeding in the wind and rain. She hugged me and hit her head against the wooden wall of the ship's building. We rolled down to the deck in a ball.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared in front of me. It was Kalancuo. She grabbed Deborah and me by the collar without saying anything, dragged us into the cabin in a very brutal way, and threw us heavily on the floor.
