Reborn Ancient Western Europe

Chapter 14 The Sea Eagle

Grace and Princess Heina were envoys sent by the Vanus ship early in the morning, leading them to board the exclusive ship of the Vanus kingdom where Vanus stayed near the floating island.Beth and Jon also went as entourage, only Gray, because he was still in a coma, did not go there.

Gray waited in the tent for a long time until it was completely dark.However, whether Jon and Beth, or Prince Grace and Princess Hana, none of them came back.

They didn't even send any messengers to deliver the message.

Gray stepped out of the tent, came to the beach, and looked at the nearby sea.At this time, all the fishing boats that went fishing have returned, and the sea is lit up with dots of lights.He looked in the direction of the ships of the Vanus Kingdom that he had seen during the day, but he only saw a dark and thick black fog.

He stood quietly for a while, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

He turned and went back to camp to find Captain Lawrence.His tent was on the edge of the beach, closest to the Seahawk.He also had a serious face at the moment, pacing back and forth restlessly.

"I just sent someone to take a small boat to find out about the situation on Van Nurs' ship, but no one has returned until now."

"How long has your man been gone?" Gray asked.

Captain Lawrence took out a heavily corroded pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at it, and said, "It's been nearly an hour, and it wasn't dark at that time."

Gray pursed his lips and asked, "Captain Lawrence, can you still find the sea where Van Nus's ship is staying?"

Captain Lawrence thought for a while, and said with certainty: "I can find it. I noticed the ship when I was chatting with people during the day. Even if it is dark now, there should be no problem."

Gray took a deep breath, and said seriously: "I beg you, Captain Lawrence, please immediately direct all sailors to board the Sea Eagle. We must now get in touch with Van Nuss' ship as soon as possible."

He had a bad feeling.

Captain Lawrence agreed to Gray's request without thinking long.He also knew that if something happened to Prince Grace and Princess Haina, then he must also bear certain responsibilities.The entire crew of the Haiying may also be implicated.

The sailors had to move very quickly, and they quickly boarded the boat and sailed to the Sea Eagle not far away.Gray once again felt the magic of the floating island. After they seemed to have reached a certain limit, the boat suddenly tilted downward, and slowly drove downward.

The sailors stopped paddling and became quiet.

Gray tried to reach out his hand to touch the underside of the hull, but what his fingers touched was only slightly cool air.He leaned out of the side of the boat, but saw that the boat was floating about ten centimeters above the water, gliding slowly.

"Is it like this when we went to the island?" Gray asked, looking at Captain Lawrence.

Captain Lawrence nodded. He looked in the direction of the Sea Eagle with a serious expression.

On the Sea Eagle, together with the entourage of Prince Grace and Princess Heina, about two-thirds of the people stayed on it, and only one-third of them boarded the floating island each time.This is the consensus reached by the sailors in the coral sea area, to protect the tranquility of the floating island as much as possible.Any ship, no matter how small its crew, can only have a third of its crew on the island at a time.

The Sea Eagle is the best equipped ship in the entire Deimos, and even the entire empire.It has a wealth of experience, with more than ten years of official sailing experience.Moreover, the sailors on the Sea Eagle all escaped death at sea with Captain Lawrence, and they really went all the way with their hands.

After a while, the boats landed on the water again.The sailor on the front ship, a young man with red hair, raised the lamp in his hand and shook it slightly.The sailors seemed to have received some kind of signal, stopped talking, and became quiet for a moment.

Captain Lawrence made a silent gesture to Gray.Gray nodded, unconsciously holding his breath.

In front of them to the left, a little blue light suddenly came on, flashed twice, then flashed twice again after it went out.And in constant approach.

The atmosphere among the sailors became more relaxed, but still no one spoke.Captain Lawrence knocked on the ship's side, and the sailors understood, and they all started to row their oars vigorously.

Gray quickly saw the source of the blue light.It was also the boat of the Sea Eagle, and there were three people on board.The middle-aged man sitting at the bow, Gray had seen him several times in the captain's cabin, but he couldn't remember his name. "

Holding the lamp in his hand, he nodded to the red-haired young man who approached first, and the sailors gave way to their boats one after another, allowing him to approach Captain Lawrence smoothly.

"Captain, there is a small problem on the Seahawk." He hung the light on the bow, and then stepped onto the boat that Captain Lawrence was on.The two boats were moving, but the movement of him stepping over did not shake at all, as if he was on flat ground.He saw Gray, frowned slightly, and then looked at Lawrence.

Lawrence shook his head, signaling that he shouldn't mind.He still frowned, but he continued: "We caught a person who secretly boarded the Sea Eagle. He didn't seem to speak the common language of the empire, but from him, we found some people who were not good at the Sea Eagle. nice one."

He hesitated for a while, and then said with a little shame: "I'm sorry, Captain, this is my mistake."

Lawrence patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief, "Don't worry, Dawna, you found out in time, as long as the Sea Eagle is safe."

Daona's brows loosened a little, and he said with a smile: "The Sea Eagle was not harmed, and the people on board have stepped up their vigilance. There will never be any unknown people approaching it."

At this time, they were already very close to the Sea Eagle, and Gray could see the white stone statue of the Sea Eagle on the bow.The eyes of the sea eagle stone statue are inlaid with a special kind of gemstone, emitting a faint blue light in the dark.

Downer stood up and called out to the boat, which echoed the same response.Soon, several ladders were thrown from the ship.

In the end, Gray was carried on the back of the young man with red hair. The sailors climbed the ladder with unimaginable dexterity.

They did not hoist their sails, and Captain Lawrence and Downer groped their way through the darkness, carefully avoiding the other ships on the surface.

Gray wrapped himself in his cloak and stayed on the deck for a while.The wind was very strong at sea, and the sea water slapped the hull, making a splashing sound.He looked at the floating island, which was more beautiful in the dark than in the daytime, and those beautiful lights lit up the nearby water surface, like a whole piece of floating gorgeous silk.

Just when Gray was relaxing a little, a loud noise sounded from the bottom of the Sea Eagle.Then there was a huge shaking, he couldn't stand still, and fell to the deck.The maids and attendants in the cabin ran to the deck one after another, and some maids started screaming hysterically, and panic spread throughout the deck.

"What happened? Qi En, go down and have a look!" Captain Lawrence shouted: "Quiet! You women, be quiet!"

Qi En didn't go there for long, and soon he returned to the deck with a face full of horror, and also shouted: "Captain, a big hole has been blasted under the bottom of the ship, and water is pouring in."

Captain Lawrence frowned and asked, "How is the situation, can it be repaired?"

"It is already being repaired, but I don't know if it can catch up with the speed of the influx of sea water." As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud noise, and the hull began to tilt violently. Slide yourself aside on the deck.

"Captain!" Another sailor ran over, covered in seawater, and said eagerly, "No way, captain, we can't plug such a big hole, the seawater is rushing in too fast."

At this time, these sailors began to gather around Captain Lawrence, watching him silently.Outside of them, panicked people ran back and forth blindly, screaming, as if they were in a completely different world from them.

Grabbing the side of the ship, Gray reluctantly stood up, and also looked at Captain Lawrence.Captain Lawrence closed his eyes, waved the water feebly, and said wearily: "Old rules, women and children go first."

Nobody said anything more.

The sailors quickly dispersed and began to gather those on deck.Daona drew his long sword, which gleamed coldly in the dark, blocking anyone who wanted to violate the rules.

"Oh, Gray, I'm sorry I didn't take care of you just now." Captain Lawrence smiled and helped Gray to stand upright. "Don't worry, there are enough rescue ships on the Sea Eagle, and there is a place where you can go ashore nearby. The situation is very optimistic."

He said with a smile: "We have encountered worse situations than this, and it is definitely [-] times worse than the worst situation you can imagine."

He spoke, and then fell silent suddenly.He stroked the smooth side of the ship, and finally repeated: "Nothing can be the worst."

True, nothing is the worst thing, but Seahawk, it was different.It has accompanied Captain Lawrence, and his group of excellent sailors have experienced too many things together at sea.In those days of walking with the wind and waves, the Sea Eagle was the strongest support in their hearts.

They used to breathe and coexist.

Captain Lawrence wiped his eyes and shouted hoarsely, "Qi En? Qi En? Come here!"

The red-haired young man ran over quickly, and Gray clearly saw his red eye sockets and watery eyes.

"Captain," he replied in the same hoarse voice.

Captain Lawrence patted him on the shoulder and pushed Gray towards him.Said: "Qi En, you take Gray out of the Sea Eagle and take good care of him."

Qi En nodded, he carried Gray on his back, and boarded the boat that was untied first along the ladder.He put Gray down, and looked up at the Sea Eagle hesitantly.

"Gerry..." He looked at Gray, hesitating.

"I'm fine by myself." Gray said lightly as he wrapped his cloak tightly.

Qi En looked at him for a while, then made up his mind, and shouted at the sailor who was rowing: "Take care of this child! The captain told him to!"

After he finished speaking, he climbed the ladder again and returned to the Sea Eagle.

In this small boat, apart from the sailor who was rowing, there were some maids who were still in shock. They huddled together, trembling, and comforted each other in a low voice.

"Master Gray?" A maid who wrapped her face in a silk scarf, only showing a pair of eyes, looked at Gray and asked cautiously.

Gray didn't know her, she must be some maid of the prince or princess.He nodded slightly, and then turned his attention back to the Sea Eagle.At this time, the hull of the ship has tilted seriously, and the stone statue of the sea eagle on the bow is closer to the sea.Those eyes, as always, emitted a faint blue light.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist, and his body involuntarily fell backwards, but he was just caught by someone.A cold dagger hit his throat.

"Nice to meet you, Master Gray." The maid said in a low voice, "Now, for your own sake, please keep quiet."
