Chapter 397 Control
Conquer the sea, the Shining Pearl.
Thick gray clouds in January pressed against the sky, and above the vast and gloomy sea, a huge cruise ship was sailing forward. The cruise ship carrying more than 2,700 passengers deviated from its original course and headed towards the desolate sea, but most of the passengers on the ship did not notice this at all.
In a cabin of the cruise ship, Dorothy, wearing light clothes, sat by the window, looking at the surging sea outside with a serious expression.
At this time, Dorothy had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Costa and Massimo at the stern through a small corpse doll and learned about their next actions. She felt uneasy about these guys' future plans.
"These guys... actually want to sail the boat to the nearby Haiyuan Cult base and ask the people there to help find me? The place they are going to is called the Tear Island, and the person they are looking for seems to be Jianlin... It seems that they are the upper echelons of the Haiyuan Cult who are responsible for the sacrifice and guarding of the temple.
'From the tone and address they gave this Sword Scale, it seemed that this Sword Scale had a very high status in the Haiyuan Cult, high enough to punish the two members, Costa and Massimo, so he was very likely a red-blooded person.
"This is a bit bad. These two guys are actually heading to where Chi Cheng is. If I really wait for them to sail the boat there and Chi Cheng comes to find me in person, it will be terrible."
Dorothy frowned and thought, she now almost understood, on the extraordinary path, the leap from the stage of 沝 to the stage of 赤成 is huge, much greater than the leap from 黑土 to 沝. In the huge extraordinary organization, 沝 can be regarded as senior cadres, and 赤成 is the leadership. After reaching 赤成, the life form of the extraordinary will even undergo some changes, so that they have a lifespan of several years far exceeding that of ordinary people. In comparison, the lifespan of 沝 is still at the stage of ordinary people.
Therefore, although Dorothy has been promoted to a Crimson, she definitely does not want to fight against a Red Adult. She feels it is very difficult for her to deal with a Red Adult derivative.
'Right now, the Shining Pearl is heading for an island that belongs to the Haiyuan Cult. There is a temple on the island where Chi Cheng is stationed. In addition to Chi Jie who makes sword scales, I don't know how many other Haiyuan Cult forces there are in the temple. If I go there like this, I will be walking into a tiger's mouth. It will be very dangerous whether I can hide or not. Facing Chi Cheng, I can't control my situation.
"Therefore... no matter what, I can't let these guys sail to that Tear Island. Once they get there, facing Chi Cheng Yu Zun and a bunch of other Haiyuan Sect members, I'm afraid no matter how hard they try, it will be useless."
Dorothy thought so. She knew that although planning and action could reverse a not-so-big power gap to a certain extent, when faced with an absolutely huge power gap, planning would be difficult to play a role. So now Dorothy had to find a way to stop them from sailing the ship to the destination.
"But... how should we stop them? According to the results of the reconnaissance in the past few days, almost half of the crew are Haiyuan followers. The entire cockpit is full of their people. That Costa also stayed there for a long time. Using violence to stop them directly is almost the same as going into direct battle with them."
Touching her chin, Dorothy frowned and thought, to be honest, she was very reluctant to go to war with the two waves on the vast ocean. Because on the sea, Dorothy relied on ships to survive, and those water magic was useless. In the worst case, they only had to choose to sink the ship, and Dorothy had no way to deal with it.
It was still the same old problem. The other side had too many means at sea and a high tolerance for error. If Dorothy wanted to engage in a head-on battle with them, she had to severely damage the two monsters at once at the beginning. However, since both of them were extraordinary people who focused on the "Cup", it was too difficult to achieve this.
"Hiss... It's a bit difficult... Based on the current situation, there is no other way except to fight them head-on and forcibly seize control of the ship. But I don't know if I can win if I fight them head-on. Even if I can win, they will get angry and sink the ship. Unless I defeat them in a short period of time without giving them any breathing space, it is too difficult for me to kill two people in one second with my current strength..."
Dorothy grabbed her hair and thought anxiously. As she thought, she looked out the window at the sea in the distance, at the cloudy weather without the sun.
"It's cloudy... For a thunder summoner, it's considered good weather, but not as good as a thunderstorm. If there's a sudden thunderstorm, maybe I can really challenge them head-on, but judging from the situation, this cloudy weather should continue, and it doesn't look like it will turn into a thunderstorm... If the weather is not good and I have to fight them again, do I have to throw away the stone sculpture and ask that old guy for help?"
Dorothy looked at the thick clouds outside the window and thought, due to the season, the weather at sea has not been very good recently. There was a period of sunny days two days ago, but it was cloudy again yesterday afternoon. Although it did not rain during these cloudy days, there was no sign of the weather ending.
According to some nautical books that Dorothy had read in the library of the University of Southern California, it was mainly cloudy in this sea area during this season, and sunny days like the day before yesterday would only last for a while.
"Will it be... cloudy for a long time?"
Looking at the clouds in the sky, Dorothy couldn't help muttering. Then she had a thought in her heart. Then her frown suddenly relaxed, as if she had thought of something. She immediately sat down and muttered:
"Yes, if it's cloudy for a long time, maybe you can try this...
"Tsk, but there is a problem with this. According to those guys, if the ship is traveling at full speed, it will only take more than a day to reach the Tear Island. If it exceeds this time and fails to reach the destination, these guys will become suspicious. But now the ship has been heading south for about a day, far away from the coast and deep into the Conquest Sea. Given the current position of the ship in the sea, it may be difficult to reach the shore in more than a day. After they become suspicious, they will return to the point in time."
After her brows relaxed for a short while, Dorothy frowned again and murmured that although she had just thought of a way, this method would only delay their progress to the Island of Tears a little bit. When they found something wrong, they would return to their current state.
'Even if the current ship sails northward at full speed towards the mainland, it will not reach the shore in a day, so if this method wants to work, it needs to be seriously improved.'
With her arms folded across her chest, Dorothy continued to think seriously, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly thought of something else.
'By the way, Vanya should be on her way to Ivig now. If I remember correctly, she took the church's special ship to Ivig in the name of pilgrimage. When I communicated with her before, she said that although she left from Tivian two days earlier than us, she waited for four days at the Port of Barcelona in Farajo in order to join other pilgrims going to Ivig, and finally left from Barcelona two days later than Neve and I...
'There is only one best route from Barcelona to Ivig, so... the ship Vanya found, which left a day later than us, should now continue to sail eastward on its normal route and head towards Ivig, while the ship I found a day ago deviated from its normal route and started to sail south, and just recently turned west... In short, if it deviates from the normal route and does not sail eastward, the Shining Pearl will not be able to maintain a relative distance from Vanya's ship within a certain period of time.
'Because I was fighting with those guys on this ship, the Shining Pearl went off course and kept circling south and west. As a result, the ships on the normal route would catch up with us. If my calculations are correct... we should not be too far away from them!'
Dorothy thought so, and then immediately closed her eyes. She began to use the information channel to sense Vanya's current location and her current distance from herself, and then she immediately opened her eyes.
"This distance... is feasible..."
After confirming Vanya's current location and distance from her, Dorothy felt relieved. She immediately closed her eyes and, in the name of praying to Aka, sent a message to Vanya through the information channel, asking her how big the church ship was and what the escort force was like.
