The shaking cabin and the constant screams coming from above interrupted their conversation. Lynn and Johnny looked at each other and rushed up at the same time.

The hatch was opened, and a cold wind howled. Cold raindrops poured onto the deck like dense rain of bullets. This was the prelude to a storm...

The originally calm sea surface became turbulent at this moment, and the sea water continued to hit the hull, causing the sailing ship to shake constantly.

Due to the continuous strong wind, the originally thick fog became much thinner, and the visible range increased by about two times, but the fog was no longer pure white, but turned into an extremely strange gray...

"Hurry up and tighten the sails. Everyone, get moving. We must escape from this sea as soon as possible!"

There was chaos on the deck, with hundreds of sailors in a mess. Lord shouted loudly with an extremely ugly look on his face, but it was of no avail. Many people were kneeling on the ground in despair, with despair on their faces, shouting something non-stop.

"Mr. Lord, did it hit a reef? Or is it the impact of the storm?" Lynn walked quickly forward and asked.

"No, it's the maelstrom, it's the eye of death!" Lord shouted in horror.

A whirlpool? Lin En suddenly remembered the information he had inquired about in the harbor town before. He looked at the rough sea again and realized what he had just ignored. The rolling sea water was surging in the same direction, and the sailing ship under him was being pulled towards the center of the whirlpool little by little.

However, the diameter of this vortex was too large, and the sea was covered with fog, so he couldn't find any reference points. This gave him the illusion that the ship was sailing normally! Hiss~ How big is this thing?

Lin En couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, while Loud beside him seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lin En with an extremely eager gaze, and asked excitedly, "Master Wizard, do you have a way to freeze the entire vortex?"

"Are you kidding?" Lin En frowned. The diameter of this whirlpool must be at least several kilometers to cause such a visual error. What kind of power can freeze such a huge ocean? "Then we are dead. It's too late to escape now!" The fire of hope that flickered in Lord's eyes was extinguished in an instant. The whole person seemed to have no bones. He slumped on the ground and muttered to himself.

The reason why the foggy sea is so frightening is not only because of the thick fog that covers the entire sea area and can make people completely lose their way, but also because of the huge whirlpool called the Eye of Death! This is an existence that makes countless sailors extremely afraid. It is like the god of death wandering in the vast foggy sea. It may appear in any corner of this sea area at any time, without any signs or rules. Once encountered, the sailor will be sentenced to death!

Because the terrifying suction force of the whirlpool is far greater than the speed of any sailboat, it is rumored that those who are eventually caught in the whirlpool will not only die, but their souls will also fall into the abyss. This is the origin of the name of the Eye of Death...

The only way to get through this foggy sea is to wait until Sunday, when the [Eye of Death] whirlpool will calm down briefly. During this time, ships should try to sail away from the sea area where the Eye of Death occurs frequently, and the rest depends on luck.

Therefore, when transporting goods in the past few years, they would try to go out to sea on the first few days of the month to avoid directly colliding with the whirlpool...

But this year was different. The Vatican blocked the harbor town, causing them to leave the port too late! Lin En ignored it and walked quickly to the cargo piled on the deck. He picked up a few barrels, shook the weight, and threw them down in different directions and angles. Then he stretched out his right hand and began to measure the relative distances of these objects.

But this level of computing power is child's play for the intelligent brain...

"The diameter of the vortex is seven kilometers, and the escape speed is... twenty knots! To avoid being sucked into the vortex, a speed of at least twenty knots is required!" Lin En quickly received the analysis results of the intelligent computer, and his brows couldn't help but frowned.

In the past, any small boat could reach a speed of just 20 knots. However, after the energy reform, these antiques can only be piled up in the warehouse and gather dust.

However, he was now in an evil other world, and the maximum speed of the sailing warship under their feet seemed to be only... seven knots? "This is impossible! Even the best alchemy ship in the wizard land can never reach a speed of twenty knots!" Lord also heard Lin's words and shouted in despair.

Although he didn't understand what escape velocity was, he knew very well what twenty knots meant! "No, it's possible!" Lin En said seriously, throwing the slumped helmsman aside and looking at the people present. "I'll take the helm, everyone return to your posts, listen to my instructions, and raise all the sails!"

"Do you know anything about ships? With such strong winds and waves, once all the sails are raised, the ship will capsize in no time, and then we will all die!" The helmsman who had been pushed away by Lin En jumped up immediately and shouted at the top of his lungs. In this situation, he no longer cared about whether he was a wizard or not.

But the next moment, he swallowed back the words on his lips, because a huge fireball was condensing in Lin En's palm.

"Do it, or you will die now!" Lin En's tone was very cold.

The yellow-white phosphorus flame made the sailors on the deck shiver, and the helmsman was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

However, it was a situation where death was inevitable, and in desperation, not many people obeyed the orders. Some even felt that dying from witchcraft was better than having their souls swallowed into the whirlpool.

At this moment, the sound of the capstan turning violently came over. Lin En and others turned their heads and saw that it was Johnny! At this moment, the girl was holding a sail rope tightly and putting it on the capstan. Continuous raindrops fell from the top of her head, flowing through her hair and her delicate profile, making her clothes wet, but Johnny didn't care at all. She pulled harder and harder until the last circle of rope was firmly fixed on the capstan.

"Since you have no other choice, sitting here is just waiting to die!" Johnny stared at everyone present with his sapphire eyes and spoke firmly.

Lord quickly cheered up, pulled out the long whip from his waist, and ruthlessly whipped a sailor who was kneeling on the ground praying, shouting angrily.

"Do it, do it all, raise all the sails!"
