Chapter 626 Isolated Island
Afterwards, in the side hall of the Divine Hall, Tie Zha saw Mu Yu Qinxin dressed in a gorgeous sacrificial robe. Her expression was solemn, unlike her usual liveliness, and astonishingly solemn, as if she was a different person.
However, Tie Zha had no respect for the new generation of Rain Prayer Sacrifices. A bad smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He pulled Eva and circled her a few times, continuously judging her.
“His expression is a little stiff, not natural enough.” “My gaze is a little distracted. I’m not calm enough.” “His posture isn’t straight enough. His butt is exposed.” As he spoke, Tie Zha stretched out his hand and hit him.
Mu Yuqinxin finally couldn’t bear his teasing. She lifted her skirt and twisted her waist. She kicked sideways and swept it towards his face. He reached out and grabbed her ankle.
“Bug, let go of me!” Mu Yuqin couldn’t break free from her heart and scolded angrily.
The iron slag only smiled and refused to let go. Mu Yuqin gritted her teeth, and her leg, which had been grabbed by the iron slag, suddenly exerted strength, while her other leg took advantage of the situation to soar into the air and kick towards the ear of the iron slag. Tie Zha immediately threw her back and, while avoiding the attack, let go of Mu Yuqinxin’s foot. Then, she slapped Mu Yuqinxin in the air and landed on her butt.
“Pa!” A crisp sound echoed in the large side hall.
“Ah!” Mu Yuqin clutched her butt and fell to the ground. Then, she turned around and stared at Tie Zha, as if she was about to cry in anger.
“Aiya, I thought it was Xiao Yu.” Tie Zha looked stunned, as if he really recognized the wrong person.
“I’ll fight you!” Mu Yuqin’s heart jumped over with her teeth and claws fluttering.
Tie Zha dodged sideways, then reached out to grab her waist and hugged her in his arms.
“You bullied me ~” Mu Yuqin said tenderly.
“Who asked you to show me your face?” ‘”Then why are you so stern?” “That’s for outsiders.” “Are there any outsiders here?” ‘”Who knows?” Mu Yuqin looked at him with her heart. She was so arrogant and cute that people wished she could bite him down in one bite.
Next, the three of them chatted for a while. As for the content of reminiscence, it was nothing more than chatting, eating, bathing, holding hands, holding hands again and again, holding hands repeatedly …
Accompanied by the two women, Tie Zha relaxed for a few days. Then, he received a communication from Tie Ling, saying that the fleet had already arrived near Zhonghai City. It was expected that they would arrive at Niolde Gate the afternoon of the day after tomorrow and enter the Mirror Sea Plane.
Like the bottomless abyss, the Mirror Sea was an endless high-level plane. Compared with the middle and lower planes of Planet-like, the magnetic fields of the higher planes of Universe-like are parallel. As a result, floating stones that depend on the planet’s magnetic field will be completely ineffective, and humans can only use vehicles made from conventional mechanics and aerodynamics.
The Mirror Sea was an endless sea area. The ocean currents and winds took on a huge whirlpool shape. This great discovery was made by the glorious great clans, Starless Light, Sarados, through generations of sacrifices and the lives of countless sailors. It was also the foundation for mankind to explore the Mirror Sea.
In the Mirror Sea, due to the particularity of the magnetic field, the traditional compass will lose its function. We can only rely on the ancient sextant to determine the approximate position by the sunlight of the “Mirror Sea Sun” and the direction and speed of the ocean currents.
Simply put, the Mirror Sea was made up of huge whirlpools. Each vortex has a diameter ranging from tens of thousands of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Currently, there were only nine vortexes that had been detected by humans.
The vortex where the planar gate was located was known as the “vortex of stars” or the “vortex of Sarados”, but after the glorious battle, the second term was rarely used. There were eight vortexes around the vortex. They were named after the four major directions and the directions they were in. They were the north-south vortex, the east-west vortex, and the 32-degree, 121-degree, 195-degree, and 236-degree vortexes.
All nine vortexes have detected the center point and measured the spacing between them. In whirlpools, the closer the vortex is to the center, the faster the current is and the larger the arc. Therefore, humans can measure the direction and speed of ocean currents by referring to the angle of sunlight. Combined with the coordinates of the center point, we can determine the position of the ship.
Tie Zha had never been to the Mirror Sea, and considering future decisions, he had to know the situation on the ground. So they bid farewell to the two ladies, boarded the flagship, and flew towards the Neolde Gate.
Two days later, the Iron Blood White Wolf arrived above the Black Wolf mercenary fleet. Tie Zha then landed on the largest deep-sea fishing boat in an airship.
A few months ago, Tie Ling and Old Amp were commissioned by Tie Zha to go to Cape Harbor and Luoyan Town to build ships, recruit personnel, and form a fleet into the Mirror Sea.
At present, the fleet has nine armed escort-class fishing vessels and one deep-sea cruiser. In the Silver City world, ships were usually classified by displacement. Those below three thousand tons are called frigates, those between three thousand and seven thousand tons are called destroyers, and those above seven thousand tons are called cruisers.
Tie Ling wore a red coat, a captain’s hat, and a command knife on his waist. He stood on the bow deck valiantly and welcomed Accountant with the chief mate, Tie Zha, and the other core crew members. Quinn and Lilith were also on the boat, following behind Tie Ling and winking at Tie Zha.
During this trip to the Mirror Sea, Tie Zha was preparing to open two oil wells to store his own fuel. If possible, he would like to open a black well and reserve some black oil. Ever since the war on the Aurora Plane, the World Council had initially agreed to the development and production of black oil powered armor at the urging of many forces in the central continent.
In response, the Temple’s attitude was very ambiguous, neither expressing its support nor expressly opposing it as in the past. The entire world was changing. He had to keep pace with the times in order to lead the team to become strong.
A few hours later, at night, a sky-piercing gate gradually appeared on the surface of the sea in front of him. Half of it was in the seawater and the other half was on the surface of the sea. An azure light shone from below, covering the entire sea area with a layer of faint light. It was beautiful and magnificent, as if it was a miracle.
“Wu …”
The cruiser let out a long and far-reaching whistle and slowly entered the plane gate. Light flashed in front of them, as if they had passed through a long and short hole. The fierce sunlight shot towards them, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.
Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and gradually adapted to the light. Looking up, it was still an endless sea, but it had instantly changed from night to day.
“We expect to arrive at Mirror Sea Island in three hours.” At the Bridge Command Post, Tie Ling reports to Tie Zha.
Mirror Sea Island, also known as Iron Floating Island, Sand Wind Castle in Desert Number Five, and Dawn Stronghold in the Bottomless Abyss were all cities built by the northern descendants’ planar pioneers. After the glorious battle, they fell into the hands of the World Council.
The reason why the island was nicknamed Iron Floating Island was because it was made up of tens of thousands of ships. They were welded together with iron chains to form a pure man-made island. Beneath the island, tens of thousands of deep-sea fishing boats were sunk. Tens of thousands of high-density alloy chains were wrapped around them. They were like anchors, fixing the island’s position.
This isolated island in the boundless sea was always proclaiming the determination and courage of the Northern descendants. Only those who were selfless and fearless and possessed a true sense of honor would be able to establish themselves in this sea.
“It’s been hard.” Tie Zha patted Tie Ling’s shoulder and said. During this period of hard work, she became black and thin.
The latter did not answer, but only nodded to him as a sign of gratitude.
“You’ve grown up too” Seeing the tall, unsmiling female captain in front of him, Tie Zha suddenly sighed. Thinking back to the little girl who gave him the lighter on the boat seven years ago, everything seemed like a dream.
It was as if he had turned into a butterfly, fading away the originally green and lively aura, becoming the same as before, like a wooden bump. However, he had changed a lot. At least now, he had spoken more than before, and he had indulged a lot in his thoughts.
However, what he didn’t know was what price this once weak girl who didn’t even dare to speak loudly had to pay in order to obtain her current abilities over the past seven years. After he left, she almost cruelly forced herself to eat, forced herself to train, and was so tired that she fell asleep every day.
She had practically no entertainment. Her most leisurely time was holding a glass of ale, standing at the bow of the boat, staring at the sea in a daze. She always thought of her mother, using her own life to exchange for a chance to change her fate.
Every time at this time, her heart would ignite an unextinguishable fire. No matter how bitter and tired she was, she would still clench her teeth and survive. She always told herself that she had to be like him to be worthy of her mother’s sacrifice.
But now, this daughter of the Icelandic Flowing Warbler, who didn’t even have a name, was destined to be a plaything for men. She was pushed by thousands of people on horseback, but she became the captain of the deep-sea fisherman and the successor of the corpse seaman.
Fate had always been in his hands. Without this unremitting effort, the insect genes in her bloodline would not have responded to her, nor would the wise old seamstress regard her as her successor.
“Everything that happened in Tie Ling today was because of you and your mother.” Tie Ling looked at Tie Zha and said solemnly.
“Old Man Tie always said that the heavens would not abandon those who worked hard.” Tie Zha shook his head and said, “You’re still relying on yourself.”
“No matter what, you gave me the chance.” Tie Ling said.
“So you want to repay your kindness?” Tie Zha joked. This was not common to him, but Tie Ling was even more stuffy than him.
“Are you asking me to sleep with you?” Tie Ling asked, her gaze as calm as water, unable to stir up any waves.
“Uh” Tie Zha rubbed his nose awkwardly and denied, “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean?” Tie Ling asked.
“There are many ways to repay my kindness, such as cooking for me, hammering my shoulders, giving me small gifts …” Tie Zha cited an example.
“No” Tie Ling stared straight into his eyes and said seriously, “There is only one way for us Icelandic Flowing Warblers to repay our kindness.”
“In that case, the chef will be grateful to you for nurturing you and taking care of you, right?” Tie Zha asked.
“I’m very grateful to him, but it’s different from yours.” Tie Ling shook her head and replied.
“What’s different?” Tie Zha asked curiously.
“We deep-sea fishermen value promises. The reason he took care of me is because you entrusted him and he made a promise to the deep sea. Tie Ling can tell that favor from you.” “Strictly speaking, you owe Uncle Feng a favor, not me.”
“This” Tie Zha was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect the deep-sea fisherman’s way of thinking to be so simple and rough.
Tie Ling continued to explain, “Similarly, in his eyes, I am the daughter you foster with him. He is responsible for you, so …” She paused, “I have an obligation to repay your kindness, and you have an obligation to repay him.”
Tie Zha was slightly dumbfounded. What he thought was simple and straightforward had actually become a triangular debt …
But on a deeper level, it makes sense if everything is based on the point of keeping promises.
