Chapter 369: The Frozen Sea Again

"Huh, this frozen sea is still the same as it can freeze people to death. I don't know how the hot place of the Floating Light Sea lives peacefully with this ice sea. It's really unscientific. [23[w]x"

While scanning the cold winter scene of the frozen sea on the deck and complaining about the many unreasonable settings of the fantasy new world, Luo Zhengdao raised his head and drank the warm rum in the silver wine pot. After spending a long time with his pirates, it would be almost impossible to not get involved in the habit of drinking.

Contemporary arcanes do not advocate the living habit of drinking, because they need to complete a series of complex calculations and configurations in their minds, so as to pinch the Mana particles together to work. The role of alcohol is obviously contrary to the arcanes' attempt to always maintain a calm and clear way of thinking. In contrast, warlocks have much freedom in their daily lives, even if they are crazy about gamble and get drunk, warlocks make a living by talent, and they have nothing to do with logical thinking. In terms of attitude towards narcotics such as alcohol, Luo Zhengdao prefers the warlock route. The magic card can take effect only if it is activated. What he needs to worry about is whether he can withstand the curse of the desolate gods behind. As for drinking some wine, this matter does not necessarily have to be related to whether he can successfully cast spells.

Some time ago, the ministers refused to ask for a farewell. On the dock covered by the dark mist, the expedition fleet led by Luo Zhengdao set sail. Since the Yangwei was chosen as a special car by him, the retainers who were enthusiastic about sharing their worries have made a lot of improvements and reconstructions on the ship.

Due to the material problem of the wooden hull, this Yaling warship has little room for strengthening its combat effectiveness, but other functions, such as the number and area of ​​functional compartments, have increased significantly, which can better adapt to the needs of adventure activities.

The luxurious restaurant transformed from a conference room in the stern part of the boat is comparable to the palace banquet hall. The chef on board is a specially selected cooking expert. He is proficient in cooking skills in various schools. He has learned the new cuisine guided by Luo Zhengdao. His style is completely incompatible with the famous dark cuisines in the new world. The well-equipped and capable infirmary provides a solid material foundation for ensuring the safety of the adventure journey. Even ordinary sailors who are usually ignored have greatly improved their living conditions and daily supply levels. After all, the main task undertaken by the Yangwei is no longer combat operations. The first priority is to transform the cabin in accordance with the requirements of the adventure mode.

It can be said that the waves are calm along the way, but after arriving at the frozen sea, the good luck in front seemed to be exhausted all of a sudden. For the next two months, they were just wandering around the ice sea.

As we all know, the icebergs in the frozen sea will move with the etheric undercurrent and the Mana wind, and the drifting path is almost unpredictable. The iceberg with the evidence of the domineering cannot be simply identified from the appearance. If the best way to hide a piece of sand is to throw it into the desert, then in the frozen sea where icebergs are everywhere, looking for an iceberg with no distinctive features, the hidden effect is completely consistent. Because of this, except for taking a chance, Luo Zhengdao does not know what else he can do. Since he can't do anything, it's better to wait for the God of Destiny to favor him!

"Your Majesty, please go back to the cabin to rest. The deck is protected by magic circles. It is still too cold here, which may affect your health."

Marne Dallang, the first mate from Qiongzhou, has rich experience in sailing, but he is not very famous. He was imprisoned by the goblins several times earlier. Luo Zhengdao has learned to try his best to bring his unknown subordinates to participate in the action, so as not to be tracked by prophetic spells.

At this time, Luo Zhengdao, wearing a gray wool velvet military coat, heard the first mate's persuasion, and he smiled and said:

"Well, I'm fine. No one on the boat is freezing sick, right?"

Hearing the sound, Dahlang, who had two beautiful beards, nodded and said:

"There are several sailors who have colds in the infirmary to receive the decoction. Thousands of sailors in the fleet will inevitably feel uncomfortable. This is inevitable, His Majesty the King."

He nodded with a smile, reached out and buttoned the collar, Luo Zhengdao said:

"I'll stay for another quarter of the hourglass time, go and do it!"

This gray wool fleece military coat looks inconspicuous on the outside, but not that simple inside. The lining of this dress uses a high-priced fire marten fur, which is a luxury that the nobles of the upper class in the Guangming Dynasty preferred, especially in the cold inland areas. The price was once so high that even the small and medium-sized nobles could only be envied. Despite this, the cold-resistant clothing made of this rare fire monster fur still could not isolate the cold wind of the frozen sea. It could always make Luo Zhengdao feel more comfortable in such extremely cold areas. Of course, he did not need to explain in detail to his subordinates why he had been on the deck for longer than ordinary people.

"Dingding! It's foggy! It's foggy!"

The rapid-paced fog bell came from the mast tower at a high level, prompting the potential risks that the sailors were not experiencing. The flagship Yangwei immediately slowed down the speed. A giant oil lamp located at the bow was lit, and the light was focused by a metal concave mirror and shot straight forward. The visual distance increased by the searchlight can roughly ensure that the ship will not hit the iceberg head-on. At the same time, the two glass fog lamps at the stern of the Yangwei were lit up later, which is the simplest and most effective preventive measure to avoid collisions in the fleet in the fog.

As the surrounding fog became heavier and when only a white scene could be seen before his eyes, it was meaningless to blow the cold wind on the deck. He had to sigh and turn around and walk towards the cabin. It was not yet time to eat to eat a little bit of cab, but it was not bad to have a good idea to eat a little to replenish the cabin.

"Huh, the treasure map is shaking?"

Before Luo Zhengdao could get into the cabin, he felt an unusual vibration coming from his waist bag. When his fingers trembled, he spread the dragon skin treasure map, and sure enough, a strange red symbol appeared on the left-centered position of the treasure map. Although he was not sure what this meant, his intuition told Luo Zhengdao that he might be lucky today.

"Slow down! Slow down immediately!"

Luo Zhengdao shouted and ordered the Yangwei to reduce the speed. The warship, which had already maintained a low speed of about three knots, lowered several sails, and its speed quickly fell to about one knot.

Repressing the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, Luo Zhengdao pointed his finger at the port side of Yang Wei and shouted loudly:

"Turn the light to the port side!"

His Majesty the King's orders must be carried out. Then, the bright beam of light emitted from the searchlight in the front of the battleship moved to the left. The beam of light quickly penetrated the hazy mist on the sea surface. A huge iceberg with a size comparable to a medium-sized island appeared faintly not far away under the illumination of the snow-lit light.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao held a sail rope in one hand, jumped onto the side of the ship and looked around, shouting:

"Let's lean over and prepare to log in to the equipment."

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

With the low banging sound, dozens of projectile anchor hooks shot out from the side of the ship. These small props from the Goblin Navy could help the ship fix it next to the iceberg, and soon completed the preparations for berthing.

It has to be said that compared with the iceberg, the wooden sail warships driven by humans are like a group of small ants lying on an elephant. Even the Yangwei, which is not a small boat, is somewhat overestimated, and the size of the two is extremely different.

Now that the place has been found, Luo Zhengdao had to sigh in. The size of this iceberg is as huge as a mountain. It will take not long for hundreds of sailors to sweep the net. The survey results surprised Luo Zhengdao, who was full of expectations. There are no traces of artificial carving on the iceberg, and there is no place similar to magical transformation. In a word, this place is simply so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. Not to mention the clues of the proof of the domineering master, even a bird's hair was discovered.

With an incredible expression on his face, Luo Zhengdao quickly took out the treasure map and muttered:

"It's strange, why didn't it? The ones marked on this picture..."

Halfway through, Luo Zhengdao swallowed the complaint back into his stomach. On the Dragon Skin treasure map, the red dot symbolizing the target object had been perfectly overlapped with the center of the map, which means that Luo Zhengdao was standing in the place where the proof of the overlord was hidden. This fact was confirmed. However, when he looked around blankly, this crystal clear ice and snow world actually made him fall into deeper confusion. You sister, there are no clues, what is this going on?

"His Majesty the King, we just searched for the upper half of the iceberg."

The soft words of the nearby subordinates could be said to have awakened the dreamer. Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but clench his fist and smashed it into his palm, saying:

"Yes! The big head of the iceberg is below."

The frozen sea with a cold climate is no essential difference from other ether sea areas. The iceberg suspended in ether particles has only about one-tenth of the surface area of ​​the sea level. Since there is no clue on the sea surface, we can only consider another possibility.

"Prepare the anchor hook and rope and send someone to check it out immediately."

Luo Zhengdao greeted him, and the sailors, like spider-men, descended to a height below sea level. Fortunately, the weather in the frozen sea was too cold, and no matter how much water there was, it was frozen into ice. The sailors did not have to worry about drowning.

"A set of reports, no discoveries!"

"Four groups of reports, no abnormalities were found!"

"The second group report is here! On our side!"

There was no shortage of ropes on the sea boats in the Sail Age. Soon Luo Zhengdao tied a thick cable around his waist and fell to the place where the object was found. When he looked at this strange existence with concentration, he said to himself:

"What does this symbol mean?"

With the fire, you can vaguely see the black abstract pattern hidden under the smooth ice surface, shaped like two snakes entangled with each other, which gave Luo Zhengdao some ominous premonition. According to his experience, any unusual imprints or signs found during the adventure mostly means that the risk factor that needs to be faced later will double.
Chapter completed!
