Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence's fleet soon kept its promise and left the port.

The ship began to return along the coastline. Lawrence sat on the high bow of the ship and looked at the surrounding coastline, comparing it with the map in his hand to get familiar with it.

The appearance on the map is definitely different from the real appearance. It is best to actually walk through it.

This way, you can quickly recognize it when it floats directly here from the sea.

On the way back, most of the time during the day they rely on the power of the oars, and everyone's physical strength is not enough to maintain the rowing action, so it often takes fifteen or six days to return to the north smoothly.

Salil, who was building a wooden house, felt something and walked quickly to Lawrence.

"Lawrence, it's going to rain again, light rain."

Lawrence looked at the nearby coastline. There were some cliffs and rocks on the seaside. It was already evening, and approaching the seaside was not a wise choice.

"Let everyone cover their things, put away the sails, and hide people under the wooden boards to avoid the rain. Let's continue walking."

Everyone built houses on the boat using the collected wooden boards, and other boats also had simple triangular huts to protect them from the rain.

The pirate ship was directly covered with sails, and a group of people slept inside.

This is how these navigators used to live when it rained, mainly resigned to fate.

You don’t need to hide from light rain, but you can’t hide from heavy rain. These people don’t have Sariel’s ability. Many times when they feel a storm approaching at sea, they can’t run away.

The rain fell quickly from the sky, and water droplets the size of soybeans landed on the deck and wooden house. Lawrence and several witches huddled together, looking at the gloomy sky and sea.

Water drops kept ticking on the wooden boards, and a faint mist rose from the sea.

There was lightning and thunder in the distant sky, and the wild storm made the crow sign on the mast keep spinning.

A storm like wild sand came from ahead, completely swallowing up this sea area.

The sky is dark.

A strong wind rose.

The one-meter-high waves rise and fall like forested hills.

Lawrence and others seemed to be in the clouds, being pushed up by the waves.

It's light rain, but a storm! ! !

boom!

The world lit up with a bang, and lightning roared!

The thunder of the explosion made the cattle and sheep on the boat scream in terror.

The world fell into brief darkness again. Lawrence and others were thrown up in the darkness, and several people quickly grabbed together.

boom!

Lightning strikes at the end of the ocean.

Lawrence saw the horrified faces of Saryl and Derren.

The world dimmed again, and everyone was lifted up by the inertia of the waves and fell to the deck again.

"Sofia! Tell us where we are!!"

Sofia closed her eyes tightly, "Everyone is here! We are all here, but Catherine is outside! She has changed back!"

Lawrence was shaken by the waves and couldn't stand up. He lay on the ground and shouted: "Tell me where she is!"

boom!

Then a flash exploded in the distance.

"Catherine!" cried Lawrence.

Catherine also determined Lawrence's location and rushed over quickly in the darkness.

The undulating deck did not affect her, and Lawrence soon felt a cold and warm body approaching his arms.

He hugged several people nearby tightly, and Kharan and Sophia also hugged Lawrence.

More than twenty long minutes passed quickly. After the lightning subsided, the strong wind began to subside, and the bright moon appeared in the sky.

Lawrence quickly walked out of the temporary wooden house that was temporarily built and fell apart.

The ship behind him had already turned on its lights, and Lawrence quickly took out the lighting beads and placed them on the special lamppost.

"Look at the nearby sea area and search for the people who fell. Those who are not injured should move farther out. Don't stay too far away from the light!"

"Sophia, let's take a boat to rescue people."

Lawrence quickly called out to Sophia.

At this time, Sariel checked the people on the boat, "Lawrence, Dora and Candice are missing!"

Lawrence said: "We have already lit up the lighting beads. If they fall into the sea, they will not be far away. As long as they do not sink to the bottom of the sea, they can find us."

It was pitch dark in the storm just now. Except for the occasional lightning, no one or wood could be seen around him, let alone feel that he was there.

"Hey! Did you hear that? Dora! Candice!" Salil ran to the side of the boat and called loudly to the sea.

Lawrence quickly organized a rescue team.

Some wine barrels and treasures were lost this time, but people are obviously more important right now.

Andrew and others stood waiting on the boat and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lawrence coming.

Durand asked: "Prophet, great, we escaped the storm!"

Lawrence looked at the few people and said: "I am relieved to see that you are okay. I lost two servants on my ship, one is Dora from the Water City, and the other is the Dark Elf."

Andrew looked into the distance and said: "Our group has capsized a few boats, but the boys are swimming over."

Lawrence looked behind him and saw that there were indeed several people swimming here.

Soon more boats went out to rescue people, and everyone gathered lighting beads together and used mirrors to continuously shine beams of light around them.

Dora soon came back with Candice, and both of them saw the beam of light emitted from here.

With the help of fishing boats and lights, most of the people who fell into the water nearby were recovered.

It is close to the shore and the water is more than twenty meters deep. The lighting beads quickly attracted some marine creatures to approach.

As more and more big fish two to three meters long approached here, a large number of black shadows appeared around the hull.

Everyone is even more afraid of being underwater and dare not go into the water to find anyone.

Lawrence lost four ships and fourteen men, eight slaves, six Sidels and Pumiceaus.

The fish underwater made the people on the boat very uneasy. Lawrence was worried about attracting sea monsters, so he hesitated for more than ten seconds before ordering to leave.

The morale of the fleet soon became low, and the fleet was in a state of haggard and restlessness all night.

After the sun rose at dawn, Sophia quickly shouted: "Master, there is someone on the water!"

Lawrence quickly walked to the side of the boat and looked ahead.

It was a man who had frozen to death, but Lawrence did not recognize the man.

"Ask behind, are these our people?"

A few minutes later, Durand jumped onto Lawrence's boat and said, "Prophet, this is a person from Telangtaho City. The people from Telangtaho City must have also encountered a storm."

Lawrence quickly calculated the time. According to normal time, it was indeed the time for those people to arrive.

The fleet continued to move forward and soon saw the bodies of many victims and scattered wood floating in the coastal area.

From time to time, strange creatures stretched out their tentacles and pulled the bodies into the sea.

Durand explained: "It's a spider fish, a round-headed fish with tentacles."

Dora said: "We call this octopus there. It should be a man-eating octopus. It is usually found in the deep sea and does not go near the seaside."

At this time, someone in the distance shouted to this side.

"Help me! Help us!"

Lawrence quickly ordered a rescue and brought the few survivors to the ship.

The fleet began to dock and soon encountered survivors trapped here.

The Valkyries and the barbarians from Pig Trotter City soon joined Lawrence's team, and together they repaired the usable ships. After staying for two days, they reluctantly returned the same way.

Because of the misfortune of Pig Trotter City and the Valkyrie people, Lawrence's men were the first to get out of the misfortune, laughing at these people for not following the fleet, and as a result they were punished by God.

Trick and others were also speechless. They lost a lot of ships and people this time, and they would definitely be killed by the count after they returned.

"Crowfeather Prophet, please allow me to be loyal to you!" Trick said nervously: "I lost the count's ship and property this time. I will definitely be killed when I go back."

Lawrence nodded and said: "I am willing to accept your allegiance, but I am currently in an alliance with the Earl, and it is not a friendly act for me to win over his men."

Trick was a little disappointed.

Lawrence continued: "I will give you part of the reward. As a reward for following me to sea, you can take it back to the earl and keep part for yourself."

"The ocean is like this. The weather is unpredictable. After all, we are mortals and cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. This time is also God's test for us, telling us that we cannot lose our respect for the ocean just because of repeated successes."

"This time we learned to respect the sea and remember this failure. One day we will break this humiliation!"

"When I go back, I will build a bigger ship that can withstand storms and hunt underwater sea beasts!!"

"All believers of the Church of the Stars! Our goal is the sea and the stars!"

Lawrence raised his hands.

"We not only want to build a giant steel ship that can sail in the sea, but also a spaceship that can swim among the stars in the sky!"
