Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 1052 Ice

Lily put the book down, opened the curtains, and looked outside through the round porthole.

It was still pitch black outside, just like that day.

Only this time, there are no glowing jellyfish lighting the sea, and no one knows what is hidden in this darkness.

Maybe there is nothing, maybe there is something else.

Lily closed the small book in her hand, pushed open the door and walked towards the cockpit.

As she moved, the shimmering ends of her hair behind her slender waist swayed gently in the air.

Exploring in the unknown sea, no one knows that they will meet gods, and no one wants to die. The atmosphere on the ship is very depressing, and everyone is cautious.

The more we walked towards the goal, the lower the temperature became. Everyone put on all the clothes they could wear on themselves.

Watching them stretch their necks as much as possible and exhale, Lily didn't feel anything.

"Mr. Captain, how long is it?" Lily asked Klass who was leaning against the wall and drinking.

"The daily progress of the ship and the charts are all hung on the wall. Don't you know how to read it yourself?" Klass is always in such a drunken state of mind.

Lily walked over and watched the one go half way. She looked anxious. "Can't you go any faster?"

"Quick? Don't forget that this is an unexplored area, why don't you show me?"

At this time, the first officer wearing a black blindfold helped. "If it was the mission issued by the Explorers' Association back then, such a large area would have to be divided into at least 5 pieces, and turning the turbo to the maximum here is completely courting death."

Of course Lily knew what the other party said was right, but this couldn't alleviate the anxiety in her heart.

To be honest, if she could start alone, she really didn't want to walk slowly like this.

At this moment, the first mate frowned, clenched a fist with one hand and smashed his head hard.

His expression gradually became very painful, and he reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a large number of red rectangular capsules.

He tilted his head, stuffed the capsule with at least dozens of capsules into his mouth, and swallowed it forcefully.

"It's okay, it's an old problem, and there will be other voices in my head." The cheerful first officer explained.

"That's Ftan's whisper, you should go ashore to rest." Lily kindly reminded.

"My former captain also had the same experience as you."

Hearing other people's persuasion, the chief mate showed a self-deprecating smile, "Go ashore, it's easy to say, little girl, my house is sinking, where can I rest."

"That sunken Yingdao? Is your home also in Yingdao?" Lily asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"It's not Yingdao, it's just a small island in the East Sea."

There was a look of reminiscence in the first mate's eyes. "It's a very small island, and although the water on the island is drinkable, it's very bitter."

"It was a remote place with no useful resources. I grew up there. When the sea water floated up, it was the first one not submerged, but when the sea water receded, it disappeared."

"My two wives, my six children, and my mother, none of them came back."

When the first officer said these words, his tone was very flat, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"When I first boarded the exploration ship, I felt very resistant in my heart, and I always felt like being locked in a ship-shaped prison."

"But the power of habit is terrible, and now I can't do without it, because only floating in this sea can I feel that I am still alive."

Lily could feel the strong emotions in the other party's words, and she wanted to comfort the other party.

"Don't give up, everything will be fine."

"Everything will be fine, hahaha!" Klaas laughed first behind him, and the first mate at the helm followed suit.

The laughter was so harsh, Lily could tell it was mocking.

The chief mate, whose tears of laughter were shed, began to see off the guests. "Hey, little girl, go back and stay, don't go out for a stroll, I will call you when you arrive at your destination."

Seeing the other party treat her like this, Lily felt a little angry at this moment, she turned around and was about to leave the cockpit.

"Head, there is a situation. What's in front?" The first officer's voice suddenly became serious, making Lily's footsteps stop.

The huge beam of light from the searchlight swept over, and a huge white object full of oppression was slowly approaching them.

When the thing was completely presented in front of Lily, she realized that it was a huge iceberg.

This moving mountain floating on the sea gradually disappeared from her vision as the sea flowed.

Before Lily and the others could say anything, another iceberg appeared in front of them again.

Although the searchlight is too short to observe other places, it can be guessed that icebergs like this are everywhere.

Lily walked to the side of the boat and poked her head out, and saw what should be the jet-black liquid, with broken ice slags of different sizes undulating in the water.

The waves that should have been rough have also calmed down here. The entire sea surface is as flat as a mirror, and the salty sea breeze in the air does not know when it will stop.

There is no sound of waves, no whistling of wind, it is extremely quiet here, like a large grave.

Everyone on board held their breath, as if they were afraid that the sound of their breathing would wake up the undead buried in the tomb.

Although it seemed that the situation became very dangerous, but under the command of the captain, they continued to move forward.

The temperature gets lower the farther you go, and it is no longer enough to wrap all your clothes on your body. The sweltering vortex furnace cabin that no one wants to come to has become a favorite.

The abnormal environment outside made Klass' vigilance rise to the highest level.

He is always prepared for possible dangers.

But he miscalculated, except for those icebergs, there was no other moving thing in front of him.

Finally, after five days, the account of Girl and Love could no longer be operated.

The deck covered in hoarfrost was full of crew members. They opened their mouths wide and stared at the scene in front of them in a daze.

The extremely low temperature completely connected the separated icebergs on the sea surface, forming the frozen continent in front of them.

The people on this ship are all veterans, but this is really the first time they have seen this kind of scene.

"There is no way, my boat can't get through, you can go back and tell the king that my mission has failed."

Faced with such an ending, Klaas seemed very open-minded, and didn't even try anything else.

The first officer walked to Lily's side to remind her. "In this case, I think you can apply for an airship, but a ship is definitely not acceptable."

"Why is it freezing..." Lily took out the chart from the cockpit, and began to estimate in her heart the possibility of setting off from here to her destination alone.

"Head! Look! We're going backwards! There's something dragging us under the boat!!"

A terrified sailor pointed at the receding frozen continent and said.

When Klass saw the water without any fluctuations, a different reality came to his mind.

"We didn't move, what moved were these connected icebergs!"
