The rest of the people threw all the cargo piled on the deck overboard to reduce the weight of the sailboat.
Lord watched the cargo on the ship being thrown into the water one by one, his heart bleeding, but there was nothing he could do. His life was always more important.
The whistling, strong winds and swirling water made the huge sailing warship look like a fallen leaf that could capsize at any time. The hull kept shaking, as if it would sink to the bottom of the sea in the next second.
Lynn's response method was also very simple. He relied on adjusting the angle of the sail and using the strong wind to balance the hull. This was an extremely precise operation. Fortunately, although the sailors on the ship did not understand what aerodynamics was, they all had decades of sailing experience and were able to barely maintain the situation.
Under Lin's control, the warship slowly turned and moved forward at full speed in the direction of the water flow...
"Master Wizard, could you be mistaken? There is a big whirlpool over there!" Lord, who had just ordered the sailors to take action, turned around to look at the direction and was scared out of his wits.
Are they trying to escape from the whirlpool, or are they rushing to their deaths? He now believed the helmsman's words. The other party didn't understand the ship at all!
"Of course I know that there is a whirlpool over there. What we need to borrow is the power of the Eye of Death!" Lin En said solemnly.
The sailing speed of a sailing warship is only seven knots. It is almost impossible to break free from the suction of the vortex. The only way is to make the warship's forward direction parallel to the direction of the water flow, circle the vortex half a circle, and finally use the powerful centrifugal force to accelerate out!
In fact, Lin En had no experience in sailing, but he had taken tests in starship driving and knew how to use the gravity of the planet for reverse acceleration. The principles of both were similar.
In short, it means rushing in first and then being thrown out!
Lynn explained it very briefly, but Lord didn't understand a word of it. He just felt that it made some sense.
"We must be crazy!" Lord muttered to himself. He never thought that one day he would drive a boat directly into the whirlpool!
Except for Lord, the other sailors soon discovered that there was something wrong with the ship's course, but they didn't even have time to despair, because several sail ropes on the deck could not withstand the strong wind and broke directly!
In such a critical situation, the only option is to temporarily rely on manpower to tighten the sail ropes to avoid affecting the navigation of the warship.
Lin En kept adjusting the rudder. With a violent and short shock, the hull suddenly tilted to the right, and then stabilized again. The surging sea water drove the sailboat forward rapidly, and it rushed towards the whirlpool very firmly.
A deafening muffled sound came from the distant sea, like a thunder that suddenly rose from the ground. In the thin black fog, a corner of the whirlpool soon appeared in front of everyone.
It looked like a terrifying funnel had appeared on the sea, with a huge amount of seawater constantly swirling and pouring into the bottomless abyss. At the bottom of the vortex, it was dark and cold, exuding a heart-pounding atmosphere. It was impossible to see what was hidden in it...
Looking at the terrifying whirlpool, Lord's face turned pale. The sailors' reactions became even worse, and many of them even started talking nonsense.
"Mom, I'm here to see you..."
"It's the stars, I see the stars!"
…
Lin En vaguely sensed that something was wrong. This huge whirlpool called the Eye of Death seemed to be able to affect people's spirits. It seemed that this thing was not a natural phenomenon caused by ocean currents or gravitational tides.
We must get out of here as soon as possible...
The silver-gray-haired girl immediately understood and activated her [Magic Hand]. A huge fireball suddenly condensed in her palm and was thrown toward the side and rear of the sailing warship.
Lin En also made the same move at this time. The two huge fireballs collided with each other. The violent shock wave shook the ship's hull, but the impact also increased the speed of the warship again! The constantly shaking sailing warship rubbed the edge of the whirlpool very thrillingly, and rushed out at a speed several times faster than usual under the effect of the powerful centrifugal phenomenon!
At the same time, the loud noise also woke up Lord and others, allowing them to get rid of the mental influence of the whirlpool. Seeing the extremely terrifying "Mouth of the Abyss" moving away from them, everyone's faces showed an expression as if they had survived a disaster.
After a brief calm, the deck suddenly erupted with enthusiastic shouts, everyone venting their joy of escaping death.
"It's amazing, we really escaped from the maelstrom!"
“This must be a miracle!”
"As soon as we get ashore, we'll get married right away. We can't wait any longer!"
…
All the crew members were celebrating excitedly, and the two bearded uncles even hugged each other.
"First mate, once we've crossed this sea, take out all the wine I've collected so we can celebrate." Lord's hands and feet were shaking, but seeing such a joyous scene, he still spoke generously.
"But, Boss Loud..." The first mate beside him hesitated and said cautiously, "We just threw your box of wine down..."
Laud's expression froze immediately, and endless grief surged in his heart. Most of the rare treasures he had accumulated over the years were stored in wooden boxes on the deck, and now they were all gone! Laud even had the urge to rush into the whirlpool and salvage all his money.
But this is just wishful thinking...
While feeling heartbroken, Lord did not forget the great contributor to the "conquest" of the Eye of Death.
"Thank you so much, Master Wizard, you saved all of us! If you need me any favors in the future, please feel free to tell me..." Lord looked at Lin En, took off his hat and put it in front of his chest, then bowed.
The originally noisy deck suddenly became extremely quiet, and the sailors and ship workers present all made the same gesture as Lord, which was the highest respect for sailors.
If they were extremely afraid of the great wizard Lin En after the Battle of the Harbor, now they respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone had just experienced the power and terror of the Eye of Death, so they were naturally extremely grateful and convinced to Lin En, who led them to escape the pursuit of the god of death.
"Please continue to instruct me on what to do next!"
Thanks to Sun Star Lord 999 for the reward of 2 Starting Point Coins.
