Chapter 588 Friends in the Deep Sea
Hughes slowly opened his eyes in the armchair, stretched, and stood up.
I just gained a lot from Gwen. At least I know that she has found a way to avoid pollution.
I don’t know what method it is, but if it is really possible to separate knowledge from pollution, then it would be best to ask indirectly. Castel needs this technology!
This way, you can read knowledge safely, and maybe remove some pollution to add fuel to the steam engine.
I just don't know if little Gwen is willing to help.
"My Lord." Ash's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xius was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Take a look at the mind link. There seems to be something going on with Gwen and Nora."
"Hmm? What happened to Gwen? Has she finally gone crazy? Let me see the mind link. Hiss!"
"Master Nora, is this normal?"
"Well, that should be okay, right?"
"But Lady Nora, why are more and more people looking at us?"
"Maybe because we're new to the island?"
"Even the Banshee has come, but I, I still feel something is wrong."
Gwen's posture was extremely strange now. She stretched her hand toward the sea beside her and spoke to Nora.
The two of them had jumped onto the ship in an extremely eye-catching posture not long ago. After the sailors verified their identities, they found the cabin reserved for them.
Hughes had considered everything very carefully. Since it was Gwen's first time in Castel, he had specially arranged for Nora to explain and guide her, but that's where the problem ended.
Nora was still quite responsible. Although Gwen's curiosity was a little too strong, she still tried her best to answer them one by one. Gwen listened to Nora's explanation and asked questions from time to time, and the situation was quite harmonious for a while.
This huge cargo ship really made her sigh in admiration. She learned a lot about everything from the ship's steel structure to its steam power.
When they were almost at Castel, Gwen pointed to a lighthouse made of a messy pile of steel not far away and asked curiously, "What is that?"
Nora glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it: "That's the shipwreck area. Castel once sank many ships here. It is said that those sunken ships will occasionally respond to calls to them."
"Huh? How do you respond? Wait, why are so many ships sinking here?"
"Castel's shipbuilding industry has only taken a slight detour. Well, these ships are probably the tears of the times. It is said that these ships are quite resentful and sometimes even complain to passers-by. It is said that Castel is a little worried that they will attack other ships."
Nora said seriously that she heard part of this from others and part from reading in the newspaper.
Most of these were actually correct, but the attack on the ships was actually a rumor from Nini. It happened that Nora had not been in Castel very long and was too serious by nature to distinguish the authenticity of the report that had accidentally sneaked in.
So it makes sense for Hughes to ban the spread of Nini's newspaper. Maybe someone will take it seriously.
Anyway, after hearing this, Gwen decided to show her worth - she was not good at studying, but she was very good at fighting, so she prepared to go over to escort.
Gwen rushed out of the room and no one could stop her. She has always been very capable of execution.
When Nora jumped up and caught up, she only saw a large wave splashing under the side of the ship.
Well, and the stunned sailors on deck.
"She, she jumped down?" The sailor widened his eyes, his face full of horror.
Jumping into the sea from a large ship is an extremely dangerous thing. To be precise, the survival rate is almost zero.
Not to mention that the propeller hidden under the water will cut through everything passing by like a blade, even the water flow around the hull is something most people cannot handle.
The propeller will form a negative pressure vortex within 30 meters of the stern, and similar turbulent water will also form near the hull, and all people who fall into the water will be immediately swept in.
Even if you are wearing a immersion suit and a lifebuoy, it is basically difficult to find you in the sea - let alone rescue you, even finding you is extremely difficult.
"Well, she should be fine, right? She can swim."
Although the Baiya people have rarely seen ports, most of them can swim. When there is no food in winter, the Baiya people will come to the river, break the ice, set nets on the bottom of the water, and catch fish.
This requires someone to dive into the cold water under the ice and pass ropes and fishing nets through the ice holes. This is extremely dangerous and requires training from a young age.
This led to their habit of winter swimming, and Gwen was no exception.
"No, Ms. Nora, this is not a question of swimming. Human power cannot overcome turbulence. I don't have time to explain it to you. I have to contact the patrolling sea siren!"
As he said this, the sailor was about to run to the cabin, but as soon as he took a step, he was stunned.
He stared blankly at the sea below, and after a while, he rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Lord Hughes, please come to me."
Nora moved closer to the side of the ship, suppressing her fear of heights, and looked carefully at the sea below. Then she also widened her eyes.
Gwen had indeed jumped into the sea, but now Nora saw her - not being swept away by the sea, to be precise, she was not even in the water.
Countless black scrap steels are slowly emerging from the deep sea, appearing above the sea surface, forming a huge steel platform!
"Is this a shipwreck? Those sunken ships in the deep sea?" The sailor's voice trembled a little.
Gwen looked around blankly on the platform. Nora was a little anxious. After all, Gwen was the one she had been taking care of, and her concern would make her confused.
She made a somewhat bold choice - jumping off the boat.
Nora drew an arc in the air, her silver hair shining under the clear sky, and then fell into Gwen's arms.
"Gwen, what's going on!?"
"I, I don't know, I just jumped into the sea, and suddenly there was a bunch of people. Um, a bunch of boats talking to me."
"Ah?" Nora was stunned. "What did they say?"
"There are all kinds of comments. Some say the water is too salty, some say the steam engine is cursing, some complain that the deck hasn't been maintained for a long time, and some curse Tata. Uh, there are more of them. Who is Tata? Why are they cursing him?"
Nora was so shocked that she was speechless.
The steel from the deep sea under their feet was slowly moving, and several abandoned steel beams had already climbed up Gwen's arms.
"Master Nora, what should we do? Is this normal?"
"Let me recall."
Nora tried hard to recall what she saw in the newspaper that day. What did it say?
It seems so. The ship souls in the deep sea are filled with great resentment, but if their resentment is appeased, they will resurface and fight for Castel again?
