334. Time to Speed Up

According to the known sea map of this world, the area where Harmony Island humans can currently live is close to an ellipse, with Wa Island Grand Shrine as the center and radiating to the surrounding areas.

From the sea level and the state of the sun, Lu Ban can see that this world is also a spherical planet and not a flat continent.

Therefore, based on simple speculation based on the ship's speed and the sea chart, the area where civilization still exists in Harmony Island is no more than the size of Europe. In places farther away, it has all been covered by net fire.

After the pure fire burns the sea water, it will cause various wonderful weather phenomena, such as the thunderstorms currently located on the border. These thunderstorms contain powerful power. Even the witches are unable to deal with the invasion of thunder, the burning sea, and the raging storm. Even with the blessing of the gods, no ship can sail in such sea areas.

Moreover, the net fire is still spreading inland, and those deep purple lightnings far away in the sky may arrive at the location where Lu Ban is now after decades or a hundred years.

In the early morning, the sun is dim, and the deep blue sea reflects the morning light. The sparkling light makes the sea like a broken mirror, reflecting thousands of colors.

Lu Ban Standing on the bow of the boat, feeling the not-so-fresh sea breeze, he saw a black figure leaping out of the water above the sea, like a dolphin, but it quickly dived to the bottom again.

Plop——

The black shadow jumped out of the water again and landed on the deck, taking with it a fish that was bigger than the black shadow.

"Be good."

Lu Ban touched Laika's head and looked at its harvest today.

This is a fish with a slightly strange shape, about one person tall in length. The spindle-shaped body surface is covered with tiny scales, which emit brilliant colors due to the refraction of sunlight. The fish has a long head with fine teeth. The most eye-catching thing is its fins, which are very large, like the wings of a dragonfly. You can imagine what kind of strange trajectory such a large fin will show when swimming in the water.

"Good guy, you can have extra food tonight."

Lu Ban asked the sailors to put the fish in the icehouse where food was stored, and then saw the witch Amber looking at him from the window on the second floor of the cabin.

He said hello.

Amber did not respond, but quickly returned to the room, and the maid closed the window.

"Are you unwilling to get close to other people because you want to become a miko?"

Lu Ban generally thought about it from his perspective.

In her own world, such a person who might gain great power would probably not be so close to the people around her, because she would not know why these people came to approach her, nor would she know when these people would betray her.

For Head Miko, she is the king of this world, and kings are always aloof.

Lu Ban is not entangled. He is not here to capture or serve mikos. As long as they are delivered safely, there will be no problem.

He materialized [Last Words] and fired one shot at the ship and the mercenary boat ahead.

Immediately, the speed of the two ships suddenly became faster.

The "speed" collected by Lu Ban is about forty or fifty kilometers per hour, while a sail-powered ship can only reach thirty kilometers per hour when the wind direction and ocean current are suitable. It is faster no matter how you calculate it.

Faced with this sudden increase in speed, the sailors were a little confused, but they didn't say much. There was nothing happening on the sea. Maybe it was just the ocean current that had become faster.

In the evening, Lu Ban could already see the Other Shore that the storm on the sea border had disappeared into the horizon. They had sailed a long distance.

After eating dinner cooked by the fish Laika caught in the morning, Lu Ban stayed in the warehouse again.

Not long after, Lu Ban saw the guard walking in again in a daze. This time, Lu Ban could see the guard's eyes turned white with no pupils inside, as if he was hypnotized by something. Perhaps it was some kind of strong spiritual suggestion combined with the temptation that made him behave like this.

The guard came to the depths of the warehouse and pushed aside the straw, revealing Magic Circle inside. He placed the statue on Magic Circle and was about to pray when Lu Ban already hit the crowbar and knocked the guard unconscious.

After confirming the other party's condition, he dragged him aside. Lu Ban came to the statue and continued to pray.

In the distance, on the battleship.

Thunder sat in the middle of Magic Circle, looking slightly uneasy.

"The opponent's two ships started to speed up a lot this morning. The speed was far beyond our expectation. Have they discovered something?"

Thunder said in a murmur.

"Maybe it's just a tailwind."

Flash sat aside and said absently.

"No, it's impossible. Even if we move forward at full speed, we are still being distanced by the opponent. They must not be relying on the power of nature, but the opponent's Chosen of the Gods?"

Thunder While guessing, a crimson light glowed around Magic Circle.

"He's coming."

Thunder Hearing the layers of illusory prayers, he lowered his voice and spoke in a solemn and majestic tone.

"I will send down gifts."

After waiting for a while, Thunder heard a response from the other party.

"Excellent, my lord, I have just offered you fresh blood. It belongs to a guy on the ship who has always disliked me. I tricked him into coming here and cut out his heart with a knife. This fresh beating heart is my sacrifice to you."

"???"

After hearing the other party's statement, Thunder was filled with questions.

Has someone been killed?

Damn it, did they speed up the boat because they found the body?

The other party's Chosen of the Gods must have known about our existence, so they used their extraordinary abilities to get rid of us!!!

Thunder feels that people in this world are really useless, they can't even do a little sneaky thing.

And this guy's actions obviously ruined his plan.

Thunder never imagined that as a high-ranking creature, he would have to change his pace because of a mortal.

It's so humiliating.

"Have you been discovered?"

he asked subconsciously.

"No, no, my great Lord, they didn't find anything. Did I do it perfectly? Or, my Lord, do you think it is better to show your power by letting them witness the fate of heretics in the most eye-catching place?"

The man's voice became more enthusiastic, and he said words that even Thunder sounded a little creepy.

"It's not necessary, there's no need for that. A forbearing and devout prayer is what I need. I don't want a blood sacrifice."

Thunder immediately dissuade the other party.

He thought for a moment and spoke again.

"You are sailing too fast. You need to slow down, otherwise you will lose contact with me."

"Then I'll kill the captain!"

The other party immediately said viciously.

"No, no, you just need to find a way to slow down the ship. Don't kill anyone, don't expose yourself, remember this!"

Thunder almost cursed.

Why does this guy only know how to kill people?

Could it be that this statue has a special influence on the people here?

"I understand!"

I don't know if it was Thunder's illusion, but the other party's voice of agreement was filled with joy.

When the prayer was interrupted, Thunder scratched his head.

"At the current rate, we may lose them."

Flash said from the side.

"Don't worry, the storm is coming soon. In the storm, they will definitely lose their way and slow down. We can take the opportunity to close the distance."

Thunder looked at the sea map and didn't expect that the powerful people in this world still have such power.

He looked at the marked vortex, hoping that the "believer" would stop causing trouble.
