Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 728 Three Routes
In the devil sea area, the sky is clear and bright.

Angel supported his head, lazily looking at the clear blue sky outside the window: "It's sunny again, is this really the Devil's Sea?"

"I remember Lucas said in his diary that he prayed sincerely, and the God of the Ocean took pity on him and told him that there was a sea area that would always be sunny. Could it be this place?" Angel thought wildly.

Originally, this was just a race of thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. The Yunluo had left the foggy area for almost a week.This week is actually full of sunny days, no storms or huge waves, just like the whalebone sea in the resting moon, calm and peaceful.

But is there a place of peace and tranquility in the Devil Sea Territory?Angor was a little disbelieving.

You know, this route is so peaceful that not even a few sea beasts have been seen.

Without the sea beast to kill, Toby was languid outside the window, lazily basking in the sun.

Angel stretched his waist, pushed open the balcony door, and the golden sunlight immediately shone on his body, giving him a warm feeling.

Leaning on the iron railing, Angel enjoyed the soothing comfort of the sun while blowing the sea breeze.

"Whether it's the clear seas recorded in Lucas's logbook or not, it's pretty good to be able to capture this warm sun in winter." Angel thought to himself.

After a while, Angel finished his rest and decided to go back indoors to continue his research.But from the corner of the eye, I glanced at the deck below, only to find that there used to be noisy sailors, but now it was quiet.

There was only one sailor on guard, leaning against a pillar sickly, with a pale face.

"Huh? According to the level of activity of the group of sailors, why didn't they react when they saw the sun?" Angel stood still and recalled the memories of these days.

He has been discussing the pattern making of shoes with Nanami for nearly half a month, and he hasn't gone out much.However, he did not seem to have heard any movement outside.

These sailors are not cats, are they?
Angor looked at the sentry sailor with an obviously sick face in the distance, feeling a little thoughtful in his heart.Or are other people sick like this sailor?
Angel thought for a while, and decided to use his spiritual tentacles to probe down to see the situation.If a large number of sailors really collapsed, it would not be a trivial matter. Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to go to Ferran Continent without anyone sailing.

Just when Angel was about to investigate, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and at the same time, someone knocked on his door.

The person who came was Helen, who hadn't seen her for nearly a week.Helen's complexion was also a little pale, and she seemed to be sick. Not only were her lips chapped, but her originally obese figure also lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.

"Executive Captain Helen, what can I do for you?" Angel went back to the table and sat down, folded his arms and looked at Helen standing in front of him.

After taking a few deep breaths, Helen said to Angel, "Master Pat, we need your help."

After a long while, Angel used the water delivery technique to fill almost two hundred buckets of fresh water, and then looked at the sailors who left his room happily, with a subtle expression.

He originally thought that there was an infectious disease on board, so he decided to solve the source of the disease himself.In the end, Helen told him that everyone was not sick, but they hadn't drank water for several days, and they were all shriveled.

Helen hadn't touched water for almost two days, so her lips were chapped.

Angel did not expect the final answer to be like this.

But thinking about it, it seems right.In the past half a month, Silver Palm Island has not been able to land, and fresh water resources cannot be replenished; it has not rained in the foggy area, and now this section of the route is sunny every day, and fresh water cannot be obtained, and water shortage is also normal.

It's just that Angel is a little puzzled. According to Helen, the water shortage has been started since entering the misty area, and it has been more than half a month so far. How come you came to him only now?
"We are afraid of disturbing your lord." Helen lowered her head and said sheepishly.

"I once said that if you want to thank me, you can safely drive the Yunluo to the mainland of Feilan. This is our common goal now. Before achieving this goal, you can come to me to discuss any obstacles on the way." An Gordon paused: "I don't want the lack of resources to reduce the number of people on board, causing the time to go to Ferran Continent to be delayed."

Helen nodded: "I see."

"The water shortage problem has been solved now, are you short of food resources now?"

Helen shook her head: "The food storage is sufficient. There are still a lot of dehydrated vegetables, dried meat, and canned food. We also have people who specialize in fishing, so there is no shortage of food."

Angel's expression was slightly disappointed. He originally wanted to practice magic bread.Since there is no shortage of food, they have no life to enjoy life.

After talking about the resource issue, Helen said again: "My lord, apart from the water resource issue, there is another thing to do here, which is the issue of choosing the next regional route."

Hearing this question, Angel's head grew dizzy.He doesn't have any external consultations now, so he can't give Helen and the others advice. He lets Helen and Arwen make their own decisions every time, but they have to come and ask every time.

According to them, this is a process arranged by Baibei Shipping Company, and the decision on the route must be made with the participation of extraordinary people.

So there was no other way, Angel sighed: "Speak."

Anyway, after Helen finishes speaking, she will also take the initiative to tell the pros and cons of each route and give Angor some advice.He just needs to follow Helen's advice.

Helen took out the chart and pointed to a red cross on the way: "My lord, according to the current speed, we will arrive here in the early hours of tomorrow—the dead ring."

Helen continued to talk for a long time, and Angel heard the general idea: the dead ring is an extremely important transit station, and there are only three relatively safe routes to choose from here, compared with the dozens of routes before, this place is rare a lot.

Helen: "Although the routes on the dead ring are many and dangerous, these three routes are relatively safe, and the accident rate is basically below 5%. These three routes are: Windless Sea, Xialu Ridge, and Winter Channel."

"The Windless Sea is also known as the lonely road. There is very little wind here, and the speed is much slower than other routes. If you want to speed up, you can only turn on the stored kinetic energy on the ship, but this is very likely to cause no wind. The attention of the giant sea beast of Fenghai. Therefore, when we walk this road, we all rely on human power to move forward."

Hearing that the speed of this road would be slow, Angel had a cross in his heart.

"Winter Channel, this is an extremely cold route with few sea animals. Although there is drift ice, the Yunluo has the effect of breaking the ice quickly, so it is also possible to take this route."

When talking about the last route, Helen hesitated: "Xialu Ridge, this route is the one we used to take. But, this time we don't want to take this route."

"Why?" Angor looked at the chart. There are actually many islands in the middle of Xialu Ridge. For ships drifting at sea for a long time, islands should be worth anchoring, right?
"The reason why it is called Xialu Ridge is because there is a witch living in this sea area. According to what Lord Roman said before, that witch is called Xialu. Every time the ships of our Sky Machinery City go to Xialu Ridge, they must Send her a message to ask for navigation, if you trespass, you will be regarded as an enemy, and the foreign ships will be shot down and sunk."

"In the past, Lord Roman was in charge of the contact method, but now Lord Roman has..." Helen paused: "If there is no contact information, we'd better not go this way. I heard that Witch Xialu's temper is not good. Well, the reason why she has always been willing to give up the route to us is that the people behind Baibei Shipping Company visited her in person and made some promises before she agreed."

Witch Xialu?Angel searched for memories in his mind for most of the day, but he didn't have a specific image.But from what Helen said, she dared to live in the Devil's Sea, so she should be a powerful transcendent.Even people from Sky Machinery City have visited her, so there is a high probability that she is an official wizard.

If you are an official wizard, don't step in casually, otherwise you will be killed for offending, that's what you asked for.

"Then what is your suggestion, which route should we take?" Angel asked.

Helen thought for a moment: "If you want to have no waves and be safer, go to the Windless Sea. There are still many islands in the Windless Sea that can replenish resources, but the speed may be slower. You need to waste a month in this area."

"If you want to go faster, you can take the cold winter channel. It's just that the environment in this channel may be relatively harsh. Every time sailors are frozen in the cold winter channel, or even die." Helen said.

Judging from Helen's tone, she is obviously more inclined towards the windless sea.But Angel wants to hurry up, so he himself prefers to take the cold winter channel.

"Let's take the cold winter channel, the problem of cold... I will solve it." Angel thought to himself: At worst, it would take a day to carve a constant temperature magic pattern on the boat.

Helen nodded her head, and as she got to know this lord wizard during this period of time, she also knew that he was a person who followed his word. Since he said he wanted to solve the cold problem, he would definitely come up with a solution. .

"I'm going to discuss with Captain Alwyn and give the order." Helen said, ready to put away the chart and leave.

Angor's eyes were still on the chart at this time, and he noticed that there was a nearly straight channel on the other side of the "dead loop".However, there is a skull marked in this area, and Angel asked curiously, "What is this route?"

Helen looked over, with a trace of fear on her face: "My lord, this sea area is extremely dangerous, even the big shots at Baibei Shipping Headquarters dare not get involved easily."

"According to Lord Roman, this sea area is also called the Sea of ​​Ghosts. There are countless terrifying ghosts floating there. Any ship that enters will turn into a ghost ship and will never be able to leave."

"Sea of ​​ghosts? No wonder there are skulls marked here." Angel did not go into the details, but folded the chart and handed it to Helen.

After Helen put away the chart, Angel suddenly remembered a doubt he had just now.

"Helen, have you always been sunny in this sea area when you came and went?"
