Volume 5 Chapter 20 Unknown route

The sun kept setting behind them and it was about to fall under the endless sea in the distance.

With the light of dusk falling, it dyed the sea orange yellow. Reflecting off the yellow paint of the “Unfolding Wings”, the “Morning Sun”, and the “Goddess of Victory Iris”, it looked very good.

Narvil narrowed his eyes and looked at the endless sea behind him before and looked at the same endlessness in front of him. The sea was already getting dark, so he nodded and said to his assistant, “Tell them to start decreasing the speed and enter night sailing.”

The assistant received this order and after a while, the Unfolding Wings slowed down. The Morning Sun and the Goddess of Victory Iris on its sides behind it also slowed down, maintaining a triangle formation. They sailed on the boundless seas, heading in an easterly direction.

Narvil came to the railing and leaned over to look at the sea.

Although they had decreased their speed and the waves the Unfolding Wings created was smaller, it was still countless times bigger than any boat that Narvil had sailed on before.

If they slammed into a wave, the spray that came from it could even reach several meters.

Narvil had spent many years on the sea, he always liked watching the spray that came from the waves hitting the boat.

However, before this, he had never seen a boat like this Unfolding Wings. With such high waves from the sea, it was still able to sail forward this steadily.

Steady and safe, that was the deepest feeling that Narvil received from the Unfolding Wings in the last three months.

Compared to the wooden boats Narvil sailed, the Unfolding Wings was tens of times bigger. Moreover, because it was completely made of steel, it was very steady when it sailed on the sea.

When he sailed with the wooden boats before, whenever they met a large wave, the boat would sway. It would make one feel like the boat would flip over at any moment.

But on the Unfolding Wings, a normal wave couldn’t affect it at all. Being on deck was just like being on land.

Even if they met the larger and stronger waves, the Unfolding Wings would be able to steadily sail forward. It wouldn’t shake at all and made people feel very assured.

Thinking of this,Narvil couldn’t help thinking of what had happened three days ago at night.

Three days ago, the fleet had passed through a bay at night and they were suddenly hit with a storm.

The storm had been fierce and the situation was bad. If they met this kind of violent storm on sea before, they wouldn’t have any chance of returning alive.

However, when facing this violent storm, the three large Magic Ships displayed an ability that far surpassed the normal wooden boats.

Although the hull would shake, the ship still sailed very steadily.

And with the Wind and Water Magic Arrays that were specially used for bad weather on the sea that the three Magic Ships had, the three Magic Ships didn’t encounter any dangers from beginning to end.

When the storm was over and the sea returned to normal, including Narvil, everyone was feeling a bit of disbelief.

The people of these three boats were all old sailors who had spent many years on the sea, they knew about the dangers of the sea better than normal people. So they were very clear just how dangerous the sudden storm was, even most people had thought that it was a death sentence.

But no one would have thought that the three Magic Boats would be able to pass through this danger so easily.

After everyone escaped from death, they had a new understanding and trust of the abilities of the three Magic Ships.

If it was said that when they set out from the Frestech Harbour, everyone was feeling a bit nervous about the journey ahead, now that they had experienced this storm, everyone was filled with confidence.

Everyone believed that with these three powerful Magic Boats, they could even sail to the furthest corners of the world!

Narvil also firmly believed this.

But he was the commander of this fleet, so he had to consider things more realistically.

Since setting out from the Frestech Harbour, it had been close to twenty days.

Based on the nautical charts, they had already completed half of this journey.

If they approached the shores now, they would already enter the borders of the Rudson Kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happened, as long as they continued forward for less than a week, they should arrive at Nissi City.

Actually, with the max speed of forty kilometers an hour for these three Magic Ships, they didn’t need to use that long. They could have made the trip in less than a week.

But because this was their first time and this fleet was not just carrying cargo to Nissi City, but also to explore the route and lay the foundations for future trips.

During this entire trip, Narvil had been very carefully and strictly controlled their speed. He had been recording all the details of the surrounding sea area and drawing nautical charts, so they had been moving quite slow overall.
