Above the Seven Towers

If a heavy sailing ship such as the Houyi is absolutely faster than ten knots on the earth, everything is different in this magical world. The propulsion provided by the spar power, plus the bow and bottom of the ship follow the fluid dynamics The diversion array developed by Hou Yi has increased the speed of Houyi to about 20 knots. This has surpassed the level of many armored ships on earth. This speed is also faster than most ships in the world, except for small ships that are also powered by magic. Other ships simply cannot catch up. Therefore, Xiao Chen was not worried about the guys who secretly inquired about their news, because they could not catch up.

On the first night after departure, Lin Lichuan, the high-level mage responsible for monitoring, and Huang Zheng, the colonel commander of the Marine Corps, came to report to Xiao Chen, "My mage's eyes found something in the sea. Follow us all the time. "

"When was it discovered?" Xiao Chen asked.

"At about the evening, I found something in the sea. It was originally lurking under the sea surface, but when the waves were strong for a while, a part of the body was exposed. That should be something that is not much bigger than humans." Lin Tachikawa reported back, "Because I observed it through the eyes of the mage suspended above the fleet, I didn't see it very well at that moment. I later invited Huang Zheng to help. The two of us observed for a long time, before the sky was all darkened. I have seen it again two or three times. It has been changing its position, sometimes in front of our ship, sometimes behind our ship. "

"In other words, it can catch up with our ship. This speed should not be any human." Xiao Chen said.

Huang Zheng said, "Look at this."

He projected an image in the air, a light gray shadow floating in the dark brown sea at dusk.

Xiao Chen said, "Let Jerez distinguish it."

A few minutes later, Jerez came into the room, staring at the image for a while, and said, "This thing looks like a dolphin."

Huang Zheng was surprised and said, "Isn't it actually the spy of the Hai nationality?"

"Our ship is as fast as flying, the average sea clan can't swim as fast, they can't catch us without a ship, unless the mermaid's mage shoots and controls the flow of water to increase the speed, but the magic fluctuations caused by that should be soon Everyone noticed. ”Jerez thought, he walked into the picture and observed it for a while, and said,“ However, some sea tribes have the ability to communicate with animals and can control dolphins. Dolphins are generally better. They live together, but it ’s weird that there is only one here. Maybe some sea people lie on this dolphin and follow us forward. ”

"If this dolphin hides a sea clan, is it possible to catch him?" Huang Zheng asked.

Jerez said, "I don't think it's very likely. According to your description, the dolphin hasn't paid attention to it two or three times a day, but we didn't even see its appearance. If there were really spies from the Hai family, Hiding under the dolphin, as soon as we noticed that we were moving, he just hid under the water, and we took it out of him. There is an old saying in the southern city-states that you should never go underwater to compete with the sea clan. You cannot imagine the sea clan. How flexible people are in the water, and fighting in the water, even if they are higher than the other, is very dangerous. "

"This is troublesome," Huang Zheng said, touching his chin. If it is on land, in front of a great magician like him, the enemy can hardly escape. However, in the deep sea water, the way of fighting has changed significantly. The blocking power of water against magic attacks is obviously greater than that of air. The effect should not be ideal. "Maybe you can try it with a mental explosion."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "No matter what the other party wants to do, there will definitely be other movements. We just need to be careful and wait patiently. Now it is no good to play the grass and startle."

The Houyi and Xingtian voyaged uninterruptedly for three days day and night. The two ships had left the area of ​​the Crescent Peninsula and began to enter the territory of the Pearl Islands. Lin Lichuan and Huang Zheng on the Houyi, and Crete and Wu Qi on the Xingtian took turns on duty and found that the dolphin still appeared around them. Dolphins are animals that breathe with their lungs, so they often need to show their heads out of the sea. When the magicians try their best to observe the surroundings, it is easy to observe them.

The dolphin approached the fleet three times a day at noon and stayed for only a few minutes each time, but then disappeared in the distance. It seemed to know that the people on board were paying attention to it, so try to keep its distance from the fleet.

At noon on the fourth day, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were chatting with Umeda on the deck of the Hou Yi. The three of them have been studying and discussing how they can cause more effective damage to underwater enemies. Umeda is now twelve years old, and has grown a lot taller, and has reached the position of Xiao Chen's neck. Since harvesting the fragments of memory from another world, she has advanced by leaps and bounds and is now the smallest magician of the Tower of China. When Xiao Chen, Liu Yisheng and Lorenzo assigned personnel to look for the Seven Towers, she simply gave up the task of staying behind and insisted on joining Xiao Chen's fleet.

Originally Xiao Chen refused to join her on the grounds that she was too young and the trip was too dangerous, but Umeda privately challenged like Xiao Chen. The result of this challenge was unknown to the two parties and referee Luo Ling, but Xiao Chen withdrew his objection the next day and agreed to Umeda to join the fleet.

Umeda is now closing his eyes slightly, remembering something, "In those memories, there is basically nothing about combat at sea. In the world I experienced, we have basically no relationship with the Hai people. So there is no Experience in this area.

But although the super-wide ice magic you tried yesterday looks good, I think it is not a good idea. "

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Chen asked.

"The essence of ice is still water, it just changes the temperature of the water. If the opponent's mermaid is good at water magic, it can make the water flow violently to interfere with and destroy this magic. It becomes a battle for water magic From my combat experience, it is the most unwise to compete with the enemy for control of the same magic power, because then it becomes a hard fight of mental power. "

"Then what is your opinion?" Luo Ling asked.

Umeda smiled. "How about using electricity magic? I can remember that the simplest and most crude way to catch fish in that world is to use high-voltage electricity."
