Chapter 517 Huge Waves Lumian thought again and felt that there might not be any other big trouble. Because Philip could only think that there was a big trouble hidden on the ship based on the reaction of Basil the "Bone Mender", and knew which passengers or crew members might have problems and which ones were more suspicious, but he was not sure who the real big trouble was, and he did not dare to be sure. Therefore, the object of his suspicion was not necessarily the hidden big trouble, and the person sitting next to him was more likely to be the one. In other words, it is more likely that the big trouble really exists, namely Lumian himself and his newly adopted godson Ludwig, but Philip is unaware of this and excludes them, mistakenly treating others as suspects. "Besides Ludwig and I, no matter if there are other big troubles, what Philip said just now is indeed correct. Before the big trouble shows signs of breaking out, it is best not to investigate or provoke them. Pretend to be blind, deaf, and dumb, and wait for the other party to successfully reach the destination and leave the 'Flying Bird'... "Well, the premise for doing this is that there is no abnormality spreading at the moment. Otherwise, we still have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible. Sometimes, things won't get worse just because you pretend not to see them. The disaster in Cordu Village is a bloody lesson..." Lumian thought about it and sighed softly. He turned his body sideways, also extended his right palm, shook hands with Philip briefly, and said with a smile: “It’s nice to be able to reach a consensus.” Philip breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his right hand, and gulped down most of the cup of golden wheat beer. He had been worried that a guy like Louis Berry, who used a fake identity and was suspected to be a wanted criminal, would be stubborn and adventurous, and might not listen to his advice and insist on finding out what the big trouble was that scared away the "Black Octopus". There is no need for sympathy if such a guy dies, but it would be bad if he puts everyone in danger.
And now it seems that Louis Berry is the kind of young man who can communicate. As Philip drank the remaining beer, he kept finding reasons to relax: The Misty Sea Islands and the Republic are actually not far apart, otherwise it would not have become Intis's first overseas colony. The "Flying Bird" can arrive directly without stopping at other ports for supplies. If the weather conditions are good, the "Flybird" should be able to dock at "Farlin", the capital of the Misty Sea Islands, tomorrow evening. If the weather is extremely bad, it will be necessary to slow down the speed or change the route and find another port for temporary shelter. It will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. Maybe the big troublemaker will disembark at Farin Harbor? In such a short period of time of about a day, even if there are abnormalities spreading secretly, they will not erupt. Just be patient and it will pass! After warning Lumian, Philippe walked down from the barstool with his lover Gozia in his arms and left the noisy and lively bar. Lumian continued to drink the Lelanzi in his hand, and his mood didn't seem to be affected at all. He smiled and asked the bartender Francesco: "I heard that many Feynaport people are homesick. Even if they have to go out to make a living, they will often go back, write letters, or send telegrams. You actually chose to go abroad, and work on a ship that is difficult to contact the outside world." Francesco raised his left hand, gestured and said: “I like my family very much, but this kind of family with several generations living together always has various problems and conflicts. My grandmother is a very wise woman who manages the family very well, but it is still too depressing for young people. There are too many elders who will teach you their life experience. "Besides, my home is in Santa Puerto, and the Flying Bird goes there almost every month. For me, this is both a work trip and a journey home." Just like what was said in the book about Fenaporte’s customs and practices… Fenaporte people like to live together with several generations to form a big family, and in such a big family, the woman who is the oldest and has given birth to children is the natural mistress, dominating the affairs of the entire family, regardless of whether her husband is still alive… From a religious point of view, such a woman is the incarnation of the Mother Earth in the family… Lumian was not just chatting with the bartender Francesco just to relax. Firstly, he wanted to learn about the situations of different passengers through the bartender. After all, his final destination was Santa Port, which would take another five or six days to arrive. It was important to pay attention to various details of the "Flying Bird". Secondly, he wanted to verify the knowledge in the books and master the customs and practices of the Kingdom of Feynaport. Otherwise, if he really found conflicts with local customs when he arrived at Santa Port, he would miss them because of lack of understanding. ………… It was a peaceful night. Apart from a child getting up twice in the middle of the night to eat and making chewing noises, Lumian didn't hear any unusual noises. The slight rocking of the boat and the sound of waves outside the window created a good atmosphere for sleeping. When he thought that the "Flying Bird" would arrive safely at Farin Port, the capital of the Misty Sea Islands in the evening, the weather suddenly changed. The ocean, which was originally filled with only a thin mist, suddenly boiled, and huge waves were like mountain peaks, one after another. The "Flying Bird" rose and fell in the waves and no longer felt like a huge monster. Now it is more like a leaf between the sky and the earth, a toy in the hands of the giant ocean, small, fragile, and likely to capsize at any time. Corresponding to this huge wave was not a dark night scene, nor was there a heavy rain. Except for the howling wind, the fog in the high altitude was blown away, revealing a clear blue sky.
The sailor on the lookout slid down a rope and raised the telescope in his hand to Philip on the deck: "Boss, this wave is not right! "We are the only area with such big waves, other places are very calm! “It’s not raining hard here!” Philip hugged Gochia, who was pale and trembling with fear at the power of heaven and earth, and frowned instinctively. Unusual waves? That big trouble caused it? As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the "Flying Bird" was thrown into the air by a huge wave and landed on another wave. This caused extremely terrifying bumps and shaking, and many passengers screamed and cried out of fear. They felt that the "Flying Bird" was about to capsize and they and their companions were about to encounter a shipwreck. Lugano in Room 5 of the first-class cabin grabbed the window frame and watched the dining table slide to the other side with a determined look on his face. He was thinking that if the "Flying Bird" really couldn't hold on, Lumian Lee would definitely "teleport" him and Ludwig directly to Farin Port. Lumian looked at the calm blue ocean beyond the huge waves and smelled something unusual. Without hesitation, he took out the "mystery-seeing glasses" from the "traveler's bag" to see what hidden problems had caused this "natural disaster". After Lumian put on the brown gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, he felt a familiar dizziness and saw all kinds of scenes around him appearing in front of him in a chaotic way: The huge waves threw Philip onto the deck, and Philip grabbed a rope and fell down with Gozia. In order to protect his new lover, the security chief took the initiative to put himself at the bottom, and fell with a thud. His palm was torn by the friction of the rope, and blood oozed out. Inside the restaurant, plates and knives and forks flew, and several customers were thrown around; In a room, there is a female figure sitting by the window, seemingly sobbing, but the whole figure is blurry and it is hard to tell what she looks like. The boiler room was littered with spilled coal, and the bottom of the ship was crawling with shellfish, so densely packed it was heart-pounding; And under the blue sea, there is a strange fish looking up at the rising and falling "Flying Bird"! It is the same size as a common shark, with a gray-black body without scales, but instead with a number of nearly round fleshy balls. Some of those fleshy balls are glowing with star-like light, and are connected to each other to form a strange symbol. It has a pair of eyes on each side of its face, and its extended mouth is as sharp as a flagpole. Surrounding this strange fish, there are many fish similar to it, as if forming a group. Lumian suddenly took off his "Secret Observing Glasses" and stuffed them into his "Traveler's Bag" while breathing heavily. He initially suspected that it was the strange fish that created this natural disaster of huge waves with no obvious weather conditions - it was difficult to tell whether the raging winds were caused by the huge waves that kept rising and falling, or were the cause of all this. Considering that the strange fish was sunk underwater, Lumian gave up the idea of using huge fireballs to guide the "Flying Bird" artillery group to bombard that sea area. He directly activated the black mark on his right shoulder and "teleported" to the nearby sea area he had just seen. During this process, he took out the blackened bone flute with multiple dark red holes. This is the "Hateful Movement" from General Philip! Lumian's figure was outlined in mid-air, and as he fell downwards, he put the blackened bone flute to his lips. When he was in Koldu Village, he learned how to play the flute from the shepherds. He had been recalling and reviewing it these past few days. At this moment, he played a melodious and floating melody steadily, as if he was missing his hometown. This is the favorite song of the shepherds on the way to the pasture. The continuous dull explosions of the fireballs stirred up wind and waves, slowing Lumian's fall, and the music from the flute that seemed to come from the depths of the long river of fate penetrated through the sea water and into the "ears" of the strange fish and its peers below. Suddenly, the strange fish froze, and huge waves as big as mountain peaks fell, but no new waves were produced. Bang, bang, bang. The smaller fish surrounding the strange fish either had their heads exploded, or madly attacked their companions, or simply died and floated to the surface of the water. Lumian's falling speed suddenly increased, and his feet, legs and body sank into the cold sea water one after another.
He continued to play the shepherds' music of longing, feeling the sea water reaching his neck and about to submerge his mouth. The next second, dark red blood flowed out from the four eyes and different pimples of the shark-sized fish. The terrifying waves quickly subsided. With only half of his head above the water, Lumian put down the bone flute, smiled, and used "Spiritual Travel" again. Cough, cough, cough! When he returned to Room 5 of the First Class Cabin, salty seawater kept gushing out of his mouth. In order to make the musical effect good enough, he finished playing too late and swallowed a mouthful of sea water unconsciously. At the same time, he was worried that too much noise would affect the "transmission", so he held it in until he returned, and then choked it out. Is this also a sign of bad luck? Lumian thought. Lugano looked at him, who was soaking wet, and said in shock: "solved?" “It seems so.” Lumian responded with a smile. His shoes and trouser legs were torn and charred, and sea water was constantly dripping down. At this moment, the passengers and crew members who found that the huge waves had subsided cheered in various places on the "Flying Bird": "Praise the sun!" "Steam on top!" “Thank you, Mother of All Creations!” "..." (End of this chapter)
