Artificer Adventure Guide

"Why did you set the sea on fire when you have nothing better to do? What should we do now? Everyone is dead. Are we going to sail back to Khorvaire?"

On the empty deck, Hope waved his fists and kept hitting Carl's power armor in a way similar to the Wing Chun Sun punch.

"Okay, okay, stop hitting, what if you break your hand? I didn't expect that the pirate captain was their navigator! With the way he looks, who would have thought that he was the one with the highest education on the ship?"

Grabbing Hope's hands, Carl knew he was in the wrong and had to comfort him softly.

Not long ago, he directly killed the captain of this pirate ship.

As a result, the remaining pirates attacked them like crazy.

After Carl used psychic power to read the mind of a pirate, he realized that there were only two people on the entire ship who knew navigation.

One of them was the pirate captain he had just killed.

And the other one who knew a little bit about navigation was the strong man who was knocked off the ship by him with a hammer before, that is, the first mate of this pirate ship.

The poor pirate ship's first mate was hit on the head by Carl's hammer, and after falling into the water, he was directly torn apart by sharks.

The pirates originally wanted to use the return as a condition to buy their lives, and even planned to kill Carl and Hope during the return.

Who would have thought that Carl, a guy who didn't play by the rules, didn't know how to compromise at all, and didn't even give them a chance to negotiate conditions, and killed the pirate captain without saying a word.

Seeing that the remaining pirates were useless, Hope simply killed them all to eliminate future troubles.

"Okay, okay, I know you are anxious, but don't worry! Things haven't developed to the worst point yet! Look, the golden crystal ring runs across the east and west, and the sun is now in the east, so this side is the north."

After removing the helmet, Carl pointed to the Siberys Golden Crystal Ring and the sun in the sky, trying to point out the direction for Hope.

Hope, whose hands were grabbed by Carl, tilted his head, not understanding what Carl wanted to say.

Following her inner doubts, she asked with a puzzled look: "So?"

"Isn't it obvious? We are now in the equatorial area. As long as we keep sailing north, can't we return to the continent of Khorvaire?"

As a father-in-law who has never attended public school, how can Hope understand what Carl said?

She didn't even know where the two of them were in Eberron, let alone where the continent of Khorvaire was in her direction.

But Hope was not stupid. After careful thinking, she finally reacted.

"Then you also know navigation skills, right?"

Looking at Carl with bright eyes, Hope suddenly found that her companion seemed to be very versatile.

Since the two of them were in trouble, it seems that nothing can stump him.

"No, no, no, this is not it. It's just that you can judge the direction on the sea. There are still many things to know about sailing on the sea. Go to the cabin first to see if there is any food, and be careful of those strange things."

No one knows what strange things the pirates will collect, so while preparing to check the pirate ship, Carl specifically reminded Hope.

Nodding, Hope and Carl walked into the cabin.

As soon as they entered the cabin, a stench of foot odor and sour smell almost pushed them out.

Carl put his helmet back on his head, and Hope activated the underwater breathing cap, which created a bubble on his head for breathing.

Although this bubble cannot resist magic such as the Death Cloud, it is enough to filter the air.

"First take the personal belongings of those pirates to the deck for inspection, and throw away the bedding and other things."

Even now, there are still unknown infectious diseases in the world. For the sake of their health, Carl does not intend to keep the personal belongings of those pirates, unless they hide money in them.

Taking advantage of the good weather now, the two took the dimension bag and packed up everything in the cabin.

During this period, the two also found some suspicious dried meat.

Just seeing the yellow granular fat, Carl felt his stomach churning.

"Okay, throw all these things into the sea."

Resisting his nausea, Carl threw all the suspicious items he had sorted out into the sea.

Afterwards, Carl turned the direction of the ship and tried to sail the sailboat to the north.

However, the sails were not as obedient as Carl and Hope thought. It was not until the evening that the two finally made the sailboat move in the intended direction.

Sailing on the sea is boring.

Facing the sea, few people can always remain enthusiastic.

And the environment of the sea is unpredictable. It may be cloudless the previous second, but it may be cloudy the next second.

Just as Carl and Hope finished the sails, the starry sky in the sky was covered by dark clouds.

The roaring thunder came from far away, and a storm was about to hit.

At this time, Carl remembered that there was a sea called the Thunder Sea between Khorvaire and Aerenor, where the elves were, and the hometown of the giants.

It is said that there are storms there every day, and there are only a few sunny days.

Because of this, the route there is extremely dangerous.

"Hua La La~"

Fist-sized raindrops fell from the sky, washing away the bloodstains on the deck that had not been cleaned in time.

But Carl would not be happy just because God had helped him a little, because under the ravages of the storm, their boat was like a candle in the wind.

"Hope! Put down the sail! Otherwise the boat will capsize!"

Seeing the rainstorm and wind getting stronger, Carl had to give priority to the personal safety of the two.

After putting down the sail, the two used ropes to fix the canvas to prevent the wind from blowing them away.

After doing everything they could think of, the two returned to the captain's room of the pirate ship and left the rest to fate.

"Ha~ It seems that we still underestimated the sea voyage. Fortunately, I killed those pirates before, otherwise, we might have been assassinated by them in the storm."

After taking off the power armor, Carl sat on the sofa and tried to make up for his previous behavior.

"Yes, yes, your decisions are far-sighted, and I am short-sighted!"

While changing clothes, Hope agreed perfunctorily as if comforting a child.

But in her heart, she actually agreed with Carl's approach.

Rather than traveling with a group of people with bad intentions, this situation might be better.

Regret the original decision is actually bullying yourself at that time, because things have already happened.

"What should we do next? Just stay in the captain's room and wait for the ship to drift back to Khorvaire?"

Sitting next to Carl, Hope leaned his upper body against Carl, and his body swayed with the hull.

"I don't know, but we don't have any other options, or... do you want to find something to do?"

The huge waves caused by the strong wind made the boat sway, and the wooden planks creaked in the violent shaking.
