I was not able to see the captain as I wished, and was called to the deck by the frightened sailors, because a bigger trouble had already hit us.

“It’s a storm.”

When I arrived on the deck, Carlson and others were already here. Hickrad held a monocular lens in his hand, looking at the extremely gloomy sky in the distance, and said with a bad expression.

"Yes, it's a storm," Carlson's face was equally solemn, "and it doesn't look small - do you see those dark clouds? They're like a black wall."

"I'm sorry for calling you back, Mr. Saren," the chief engineer turned to look at me, "but this is a much greater threat to us than the boiler room."

"It's just a storm," I said, "I remember there was a tarp on the boat."

"Don't be too careless... sloppy, Mr. Saren," Carlson pointed seriously at the dark clouds in the distance. "The consequences of that storm of scale will never be as simple as storms."

"I'm not afraid of storms," ​​he continued. "People who often float on the sea know that such rain is not scary, what is scary is the wind and waves on the sea, and the tsunami that may occur."

"If it were normal, our ship could increase its horsepower and escape from it before being swallowed by the heavy rain area," Carlson's face became even more gloomy. He waved his hand angrily and punched the guardrail beside the deck.

"But now, our steam engine is broken and my work group hasn't started the overhaul."

After his brief introduction, I also understood how serious the matter was. Tsunamis and storms are no more than vampires. A person may be able to withstand demons and humans, but it is difficult to withstand such terrible natural disasters.

"If you start repairing now," I asked with a frown, "Can we have time?"

"It's too late," Carlson shook his head and called everyone to get into the cabin. The dark clouds in the distance were as if they had eyes, approaching towards the direction of the ship.

The chief engineer closed the hatch door to the deck and gasped for a long time before explaining to me: "You also see how fast the clouds are, Mr. Saren. Even if we fix the steam engine and set off in five minutes, it will be difficult to run out. Unless the steam engine can start now. But you and I know that is impossible."

"I get it, Captain," I looked into his eyes. I didn't see any fear in those blue eyes, or anything like that. "Come on with your guys, I'll figure it out with the captain."

"This is the best," Chief Engineer Carlson nodded, "I know you mages have some powerful means to turn the situation around. To be honest, the reason why we didn't choose to start writing suicide notes is that we believe you can solve this problem. Don't let us down, Mr. Saren."

"Okay," he shrugged quickly again, "Even if you fail, it's no big deal. Anyway, everyone will die by the time being. Only those favored by the goddess of luck can save their lives by chance-but they will soon die in the next few days."

"Say less bad things, you bastard," I smiled and slapped Carlson on the back of the head. "Take your people well, the sooner you fix the engine, the sooner we can set off and leave this damn place."

"learn."

Carlson gently touched his forehead with his fingers, and the people carrying the turbine crew got into the bottom floor of the cabin.

The dull thunder sound came in through the thick walls. Perhaps it was because it took a lot of energy to penetrate such a thick wall. The already low thunder sound became even more deep, like a long breath emitted from a biological resonance cavity.

"Thunders are starting to begin!"

I heard the crew shouting, everyone looked at me with anxiety, and Hickrad.

"Crazy--"

A familiar voice sounded from the world.

At first, the sound was so light that I wondered if I had auditory hallucinations. But the sound soon became loud, countless raindrops hit the deck, and the sound of water droplets shattering together, turning into loud and powerful sound waves, effortlessly passing through the guard wall of the cabin and drilling into everyone's ears.

"It's raining! It's raining! Everyone is here!"

Strangely, the sound of rain is like a signal, or it is like the final verdict issued by the judge in court. When the sound of rain sounds and gradually connects us, the crew members who were still afraid and worried become calmer instead.

I remember some death row prisoners - these two things may be similar. When you are not sure whether a bad thing will happen, you will always be afraid, escape, and hope that this thing will not happen from the bottom of your heart.

But when it really happens, you will find that your inner fear has disappeared, and all that is left is peace and constant thinking - thinking about how to solve this bad thing.

I think the mentality of the crew must have experienced this complex change just now. After the sound of rain, they responded to order as quickly as possible, accepted this fact, and returned to their respective positions accurately.

First mate Baros directed the crew with his loud voice - most of the sailors were sent to the bottom-level enclosed cabin, and if the ship was hit in a storm, they would try to repair the damaged area and seal the damaged area when things were not done.

"Please come with me, Mr. Saren, Mr. Hickrad." First mate Baros waved at us, "I will take you to the cab, where the vision is better than this."

We followed Baros all the way to the cab, and Captain Kenway was here. He stood in front of the rudder, looking at the rolling clouds not far away with a serious expression.

"Oh my God," Baros exclaimed, "I haven't seen such a big storm in a long time!"

"Be ready!" The captain held the railing at his hand tightly, "This storm was even more violent than we expected!"

I grabbed the railing with them. Through the porthole, I could see huge waves surging in the distance, and waves of surging tides.

"The mad dog is coming! Get ready!"

Kenwei lifted the lid of the copper sound tube beside him and shouted in the loudest voice.

Everyone started running in a hurry, and the sailors either leaned on the surface of the smooth area, or held the railings tightly, waiting quietly for the waves to come.

The rushing waves hit the yacht without mercy. Compared with the waves that could flood the earth and destroy houses, the yacht we were riding was a bit too small.

At the first moment of contact with the waves, the entire yacht spiraled up and then was swept hard on the sea surface by the waves.

I felt like I was flying, and there was an intimate contact between my back and the extremely hard top of the yacht.

I saw a sailor hitting a sharp place, poor guy. The hard iron structure pierced his waist, and blood gushed out like running water.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Kenwei clenched the railing tightly and shouted, "There are some people here who need treatment!"

The sailors who were thrown up all the time, got up from the ground one after another. A sailor who looked more elegant and older than others picked up the first aid kit that landed on the ground and stumbled toward the seriously injured sailor.

"You'll be fine, kid," the doctor calmly pulled out bandages and alcohol from the first aid kit while comforting the sailor who was screaming.

He unscrewed the cap and sprinkled the alcohol on the thick bandage, and then buckled the bandage on the sailor's wound without frowning.

"Ah! Fuck you!" The sailor bowed like a shrimp, and his mouth roared like a pig.

"Stay, young man," the doctor glanced at the sailor who was constantly sweating on his forehead, took out a small brown bottle from the first aid kit, poured out some white powder from it, and wrapped it around his wound.

"We... need your help...Mr. Salen." The first mate pressed his feet tightly against the instruments on the ship and said with difficulty, "Buy time for us. As long as the steam engine is repaired, we will be saved."

"I see."

"Hyclad, you're here to take care of them," I shouted at Hyclad, "I'll go out and deal with this damn storm!"

"Be careful, Sarah!" Hickrad responded with a roar, "If you fall into the sea, we can't catch you!"

"Don't worry! I'm not that easy to die!"

I smiled and greeted Hicklad, turned around and rushed out of the cabin.

The deck had become chaotic, with rushing water everywhere. The waves that were higher than the other hit the deck were heavy, causing the tiny yacht to shake violently again.

"Solid! Listen to my order!"

It is a stupid thing to call on the power of the earth at sea, but I have no confidence to control such a violent tsunami.

Compared to this, I am more willing to use heavy rocks to protect the entire ship, the price is that I have to pay more mental power than usual.

Large chunks of rock emerged from the void and gradually formed a semicircular shield, protecting the entire yacht behind the stone shield.

"Oh my God!" I heard the busy sailors on the deck exclaim, with endless joy mixed in the sound, "Is this really something humans can do?"

The rock shield gradually spread, like vines growing more tissue, protecting most of the ship behind the shield.

"Be careful! Mr. Saren!" I heard someone shouting, "The mad dog wave is coming again!"

The sound of tide slamming out, and clear water splashed from the other side of the rock wall, turning into fine water droplets and falling on the deck.

There was a buzzing sound in my mind, and I felt the whole world spinning.

The world returned to its original appearance in a few seconds. I shook my head and stood up again from the half-kneeling position, continuing to maintain the energy channel between me and the shield.

"You better call that bastard Carlson, hurry up!" I yelled, "Otherwise you will wait to collect my body!"

"They are already working hard to repair it!" Hickrad's voice came from behind me. He covered his head and rushed out of the cabin.

"What are you doing here? You fool," I looked at Hickrad angrily, "You are a fool who only knows water and fire! You are useless here!"

"But I can help you," Hickrad looked at me calmly, "remember to you my energy?"

"Okay, okay," I didn't refuse him. I really needed extra energy. If I really couldn't hold on and fainted, his energy would at least allow me to maintain the shield.

“Give me your energy like I did before.”

"learn."

The tsunami hit one after another, slapped on the shield without mercy, as if it was slapped in my mind. I spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground again.

"Stand up, Saren!" Hickrad shouted! "You must not fall here! Otherwise, the ship will be done!"

"I see!"

◇◇◇◇◇

I don't know how long it took for my consciousness to gradually recover. Hickrad was lying beside me, our ship was moving forward quickly, and the tumbling clouds were left behind by us.

"We succeeded?" I got up from the ground and asked the sailors surrounded in disbelief. "Have we escaped?"

"Yes, we escaped! Lord Saren!" The sailors hugged me tightly, "Thanks to you and Carlson! He and his men were really blessed by his fucking goddess of luck!"

"Where are we now?" I asked, raising up from the ground and rubbing my head.

"I don't know either," the latest sailor rushing up shook his head. "The steam engine was damaged again after some emergency operation, and we are now drifting on the sea. Carlson and his lads are getting into the boiler room again."

"Praise Carlson," I rubbed my shoulders and stood up straight, "Let's go back, Kenway must be anxious to see me."

"He really wants to see you," the sailor laughed at him, "we all want to thank you."

"Wake up, Hickrad," I walked up to Hickrad and rubbed his face hard, "Wake up! We're alive!"

"Oh...you shook me all over, dear Sarah," Hickrad stood up and wiped off the blood from under his nose, "Where are we now? Are we still alive?"

"Of course you are still alive, you fool!" I smiled and punched him, "Let's go, Captain Kenway wants to see us."

"Ha, of course he wants to see us," Hickrad, who was not listless just now, immediately became energetic. He sorted out his clothes and walked into the cabin with great aura.

"Guess what he will say to us?" Hickrad looked at me curiously, "I guess he will give us some rewards."

"Maybe," I nodded, "Anyway, we are lucky enough to survive and we shouldn't ask for more."

"You're right," Hickrad sighed, "Oh my God, I don't want to experience this kind of thing again."
