Chapter 401 Rescue
Conquer the sea and reach the Ivigli Passage.
On the vast ocean, the giant ship that had lost its power had now completely come to a stop on the sea. All the passengers were panicked by the explosion just now. Due to the arrangements made by the crew, these passengers were now in their respective cabins, anxiously waiting for the next development.
The second explosion in the lower cabin of the White Pearl shortly afterwards further intensified the anxiety. After the explosion, some passengers were no longer willing to stay in the cabins, but came out one after another to go to the deck and had disputes with the crew members who were maintaining order.
After the second explosion, a dirty sailor hurriedly ran to the deck from the lower cabin. After hurriedly asking questions on the deck, he focused his attention on the upper deck, where he met Captain Costa.
"Mr. Costa! Something terrible has happened! There was another explosion under the cabin for some unknown reason! This time the explosion has caused serious water to enter the lower cabin! There is no way to stop it!"
Waving his hands, the seaman shouted to Costa on the deck. After hearing the seaman's words, some passengers who rushed onto the deck and even the seamen who maintained order began to panic. Thinking that the ship was actually taking on water, the panic intensified and the crowd began to become uncontrollable and chaotic.
Costa, who was on the deck, turned his eyes and saw the chaos spreading on the deck. He, dressed in the captain's uniform, put his hands behind his back without haste and spoke loudly with a calm expression and tone.
"Don't panic, everyone! Although our ship has unfortunately encountered such a serious accident and the entire ship is in danger, the Virgin Mary has not abandoned us. Look over there! Thanks to God's care! We have encountered the church fleet! I have informed them of the situation of our ship and requested assistance. They have responded and are rushing here at their best!
"Everyone, the glory is right beside us. Don't panic. Follow the instructions and maintain order. As the captain, I guarantee that everyone on this ship will be saved!"
Costa spoke soothingly to the people below, and as he spoke, he pointed to the approaching fleet in the distance. When the panicked passengers and sailors saw that there were indeed many ships rushing towards this side in the distance, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and order on the scene was restored.
Seeing that the originally chaotic situation below had improved, Costa turned around with a calm expression, looked at the three corpses in the cabin behind him, and spoke sternly to his men.
"Hurry up and get rid of all these before the charlatan's boat arrives! Once you're done, prepare to dive away! Remember to go to the nearest base after you get ashore."
"Yes, sir."
Following Costa's orders, several Abyss followers began to deal with the three bodies in the cabin in a hurry. At this time, Costa looked at the scene on the deck below with a serious expression, then snorted coldly and spoke.
"Another explosion, this time the boat was blown into the water. Humph, it seems that he was afraid that the group of charlatans would only help with repairs after they arrived and would not pick up people, so he did it to the extreme... It seems that he must have brought a lot of explosives on board..."
"Hey, Costa, are we really going to board those shamans' boat? Isn't that too dangerous?"
Beside Costa, Massimo looked a little uneasy and said, after hearing what he said, Costa replied indifferently.
"Now, this is the only way to take back the Deep Blue Heart... Although we can find the thief with this button, he is very powerful. I have no chance of killing him if I deal with him alone, so we must act together.
"Fortunately, we all have some soul-hiding talismans and 'shadow' storage items on us, so we should have no problem dealing with those charlatans' primary detection. As long as we pretend to be ordinary captains and jewelry collectors like before, no one will think there is anything wrong. Even if that guy notices us on board, he won't make it public for his own safety."
Costa said this. After listening to Costa's words, Massimo was silent for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and responded.
"Hmph... there's nothing we can do. Although it's not dangerous, we have no choice but to go over there. We just need to find that guy up there. When he gets off the boat, that will be his doom!"
"Well... so from now on, I have to continue to perform my job as captain seriously." Looking at the Glow Fleet that was already very close, Costa murmured. Now, as a good captain, he had to start organizing the evacuation of the passengers.
…
On the White Pearl, in a cabin corridor, Nephnis, dressed in casual clothes, was jogging with a somewhat panicked look on her face. After running for a while, she knocked on a cabin door, but found that the cabin door was not closed after knocking. After pushing the door open, she saw a silver-haired girl sitting by the window, drinking coffee leisurely.
"Miss Dorothy, why are you still here? The ship is about to sink! Let's get on deck quickly!"
"Don't panic, Senior Neveu. This is a huge ship with a displacement of over 10,000 tons. If it is going to sink, it will take a long time. Sit down. It's okay for us to have a few more drinks here before leaving. If everyone goes on the deck now... it will cause trouble for our diligent captain's organizational work."
Listening to Nephnis' words, Dorothy spoke slowly. Seeing Dorothy's indifferent look, she couldn't help swallowing, then closed the door and came in, sitting at the table uneasily.
"Miss Dorothy, are you really not panicking? The ship is going to sink! I heard that water is coming in from under the cabin!"
"I knew the ship was going to sink. After all, I was the one who blew it up. Don't worry. I controlled the damage well. It won't sink in more than four hours. Yes, the church fleet is right in front of us. This time is enough for everyone to be transferred safely.
"So, there's no need to rush to the deck now. It's noisy and crowded there, and it would be bad if you get pushed out to the sea."
Dorothy said lightly while sipping her coffee. Looking at Dorothy's actions, Nephnis felt a slight chill on her back.
"Miss Dorothy... not only did she bring a bunch of bombs on board, but she also made it sound so nonchalant that she sank a 10,000-ton ship... She looks so scary, as expected of a high-ranking official of the Rosicrucian Order? Is she really only thirteen years old?"
Looking at Dorothy like this, Nevonis complained in her heart. Looking at Dorothy in front of her, Nevonis suddenly recalled that she was thirteen years old. At that time, she had a wealthy and beautiful family. Both her biological mother and grandfather loved her very much. She spent a carefree childhood with the care from all sides.
'Thinking back to when I was a kid... although I was influenced by my grandfather and loved reading, I was essentially as innocent and playful as other kids. I really don't understand what made Miss Dorothy more mature than adults at this age, and so cunning... Could it be that she has been receiving some cruel training from the Rosicrucian since she was a child?
'If this is true, then Miss Dorothy is really pitiful. In her childhood, which should have been innocent and carefree, she had to participate in the cruel religious struggle. It feels a bit pitiful...
'But if I think about it this way, what would Miss Dorothy be like if she lived a normal life and grew up normally? Miss Dorothy is very beautiful. If she didn't look so mature all day long, but looked like an ordinary child, she would be very cute, and maybe she would even call me sister! '
Looking at Dorothy, Nevonis said this with a hint of yearning in her heart, and Dorothy, who was drinking coffee beside her, tilted her head slightly after noticing Nevonis's slightly strange look, and then continued with an unchanged expression.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something weird on my face?"
"Strange things? Ah... no, there are no strange things! I was just daydreaming for a moment!" After hearing Dorothy's words, Nephnis immediately came to her senses and hurriedly said. She would definitely not tell Dorothy that she was imagining what it would be like if she spoke like a truly innocent little girl.
After listening to Nefernis's words, Dorothy glanced at her and didn't say much. Instead, she looked out the window and saw the flags of the Glowing Fleet before speaking.
