Release that Witch - Chapter 503
[Chapter 496 Under the Deep Sea]
The water above the sea line flows below the sea line, causing the lower water level to rise?
how can that be?
Tilly thought for a while, “What about the ebb tide, will the sea water flow back?”
“Good question,” Lei Ting said excitedly, “Afterwards, my fleet stayed near the sea line for half a month until the tide Back. During this period, I also used various methods to cross the sea line, the most amazing thing is sailing on the sea line-do you know what it feels like? Outsiders, it seems that we are glued to the cliffs, the sails It is completely parallel to the sea surface, and it is possible to fall at any time. But we on the ship can’t feel this at all. The Spirit is like driving on a narrow river several feet wide, with an endless wall of sea water on one side and an endless wall of sea water on the other. On one side is the vast sky. Of course, this must be done after the water flow slows down, otherwise the magic servants will not be able to protect the hull.”
“This… is totally unreasonable.” Tilly felt her mind was in chaos, if the narrator It wasn’t Lei Ting, but other explorers. She probably thought that the other party was bragging.
“I think so too, but I trust my eyes more than common sense.” He continued, “After half a month, the tide began to recede—on time, just like the rise and fall of the Shadow Islands. The sea water There was no backflow, it just receded slowly, and the sea line changed from a few feet high to tens of feet.”
“You mean, the extra seawater just disappeared out of thin air?”
“Maybe, but it’s also possible It
has flowed to other places.”
“Where can it flow?” Tilly asked, holding her forehead, “The tides in the Shadow Islands fluctuate greatly, while those in the Fjord Islands are much gentler. When they reach the shores of the Four Kingdoms, there is almost no obvious change— —What is this not disappearing out of thin air?”
Lei Ting pointed to his feet.
She sighed, “I remember you said that the water in the Shadow Sea Territory is falling so fast, it’s as if there is a huge hole in the bottom of the sea swallowing sea water. But no matter how big the hole is, it should be filled in a few years. Come on.”
“This is just my guess. After all, no one has ever seen what the real bottom of the sea looks like, but… there is one thing I am very concerned about.”
“What?”
“That is the ocean we are in. Why is it called the ocean ?”
As “Swirl Sea”?
Tilly was startled when she heard this, and then shook her head and said, “Impossible, this idea is too crazy. If the drainage of underwater caves can cause eddies, how could we not observe them.
”
Moreover, this name existed hundreds of years ago, who knows what the name-namer had in mind at that time.
”
” Indeed, I have done a simple experiment. The water must be shallow enough to see the eddy, and we don’t have the ability to go deep into the bottom of the sea.
Lei Ting smiled mysteriously, “But we don’t, it doesn’t mean that witches can’t do it – I haven’t thought of this before, but when you told me that there was a witch empire all over the mainland more than 400 years ago, I just realized that there is a good chance that the name was handed down from that era.
”
“But I am a witch,” Tilly shrugged, “and no witch on Sleeping Island has the ability to do this.”
”
“I do know one.”
”
“What?”
”
This witch is in the fjords, but she hasn’t been in contact with humans for a long time…” Lei Ting sighed, “She used to be a good friend of my expedition team, and since she awakened as a witch, she has bid farewell forever. land.
Today, her melodious singing can only be heard when the waterway is foggy, and you should have heard her story.
”
“The mermaid who guides the way… Could it be that you are talking about the protagonist in this rumor?”
”
That’s right,” Lei Ting nodded, “Although I don’t know if I can get her help, I have to try. Maybe I need my old friend Margaery to help me with this matter.”
”
So that’s the case, then you have to hurry up,” Tilly said with a frown, “It seems that someone in the Fjord Sea Merchant wants to hunt mermaids. Attention, Maleficent received several reports of hiring witches to catch mermaids a month ago.” Entrustment, honey specially sent a messenger to ask me for instructions, but I rejected it.
”
“Her singing is regarded by all fjord sailors and explorers as a sign of auspiciousness and peace. These merchants are simply crazy,” Lei Ting asked in a deep voice, “Can you tell me who they are?”
“Sleeping Demon Curse” should not reveal the customer’s identity, but…” Tilly sketched a few names in the air, “You saw this by yourself.
“Since the other party is a witch, as the leader of Sleeping Island, she can’t sit idly by.
” That’s right,” he raised the corner of his mouth, “they will suffer retribution.
The
two smiled at each other, and then Lei Ting said, “I came to you this time. Apart from a new expedition commission, I still need your help.
”
“Say it.”
”
That’s right. After I came back, I heard that Crescent Moon Bay has introduced a new kind of ship, which can sail without relying on wind power, and its speed is much faster than that of a sailboat.”
I asked someone to inquire about it in detail, and I learned that this kind of boat was actually made in Border Town,” Lei Ting said frankly, “If I want to continue to explore above the waterline, I must have a bigger and faster boat, otherwise the wind will blow me away.” In a bad situation, it can only be pushed away by the countercurrent.
He took out a letter from his arms, “Money is not a problem, the faster the ship, the better, can you help me deliver this order letter to him?”
Tilly quickly understood the
meaning of the other party’s words, “You don’t want Lightning to know?”
Lei Ting said helplessly, ”
If she knew, she would insist on going with me. No one knows what is above the waterline, so I can’t take her on an adventure.”
”
But she is already a qualified explorer, and the ruins of the stone tower hidden in the depths of the Misty Forest is what she discovered, Tilly thought in her heart, and finally nodded, “I understand, I will help you temporarily Contacted Roland Wimbledon.
”
“Thank you, Your Highness.
”
After Lei Ting left, Tilly pondered for a long time, and brought out the ancient books from the ruins of the Shadow Islands. Perhaps she could find clues related to sea lines and tides in them.
UU Reading www.
sonicmtl.com According to the method taught by Agatha, she twisted the magic power according to the shape of the characters, and the corresponding meaning automatically appeared in her mind—as if she was not reading a book, but the book was telling her the content.
Some ancient books described what the recorder saw and heard in the wild land, some were like logbooks, and some mentioned the reconstruction plan of the Federation. The more she looked down, the more confused she felt.
There is no connection between these contents, nor does it seem to be written by one person, and none of them mentions the sea line, the undersea spiers, the lookout mirror and the huge stone gate in the mirror, which is completely different from her previous expectation-I thought As long as you can understand the text of the federation, you can uncover the secrets in some of the ruins, and even find out the truth about the rapid rise and fall of the water level in the Shadow Sea.
But now, she looks more like flipping through a pile of miscellaneous notes.
Wait… patchwork?
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Tilly’s mind. She spread out the three logbooks and checked them carefully again – the times recorded on them were far apart, some even decades apart, and the routes were also different. , from the waters near the mainland to the fjords, it seems that someone has collected these things one after another and stored them in the ruins.
When this thought came up, she couldn’t help but feel a chill rise up behind her.
Who the hell would do that?
