Chapter 2561: Sudden Change

Many years ago, Qiao An went on a sea expedition with Hailar and Zion’s sisters and brothers. On the way, he ran into a family of dwarves living on Lilliput Island. He also helped the Lilliputs deal with their old enemy Harpy Demon, so I got a gift from Queen Minnie-a magic hat that can be reduced in size for one person.
Qiao An didn't know whether the pointed cap on the golden monkey's head was Hailar's or Holden's, but it must be Lilliput's shrinking cap, because she herself has the same cap.
No matter how big the original size is, as long as you wear this magic hat, you can immediately shrink to the size of a Lilliputian. No wonder the Titan Great Ape has become so small.
At this time, Qiao An saw a pair of young men and women coming down from the bridge, walking all the way to the deck, arguing as they walked, calling each other "little gangsters" and "Sister Choi Mi", but not Holden and Hailar. .
A faint smile appeared in Qiao An's eyes when he saw two long-lost friends.
"Little hooligan, I can no longer hide it for you anyway. I must reply to your sister as soon as possible, telling Audrey that you are on our boat, so that she can be relieved."
"No, no, no! Sister Caimi, you are too unreasonable like this! At least wait until I get to Freeport, and after I disembark, you can write back to my sister, OK?"
"Of course not! Delayed until you disembark before replying, I always feel sorry for Audrey, after all, she is my best friend, you guys have to go back a little bit, at most third!"
Hailar looked righteous.
Realizing that the request was invalid, the poet couldn't help being full of grief and anger, turned and climbed onto the bow, spread his arms against the howling sea breeze, and shouted:
"Sister Cai Mi! You have to be loyal! If you tell my sister, I will jump from here, and I would rather drown than take your boat! I will do what I say!"
"Ha...haha...hahahaha~"
Hailar shook her ponytails and laughed with her hands on her hips.
"Little hooligan! I don't believe in evil anymore today. You jump, if it's a man, you can jump for me!"
Dolly the Parrot was not afraid of the hustle and bustle, but also flew over to throw fire.
"Jump! Jump!"
"Look how blue this vast sea is!"
"You are jumping!"
"Hey! Don't do this, okay! Then I'll be really angry!" Holden stood at the bow of the boat, and it was not appropriate to jump. It was not appropriate to not jump, his face was embarrassed.
Even King Kong joined the roaring ranks, squatting on the barrel, scratching his head, and leaning forward with joy.
Mr. Poet couldn't help becoming irritated and turned his head and stared at King Kong: "Ah? What's the matter with you? What are you doing for fun! Stinky monkey! Give me your hat quickly!"
King Kong quickly covered the Lilliputian peaked hat on his head and quickly climbed up the mast, as if he was afraid that Mr. Poet could regain the magic hat that could transform himself from the Titan Great Ape into a "little monkey" form.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumble of cannons in the distance.
A shell happened to land near the bow of the "Heringhorn", and the splashing waves suddenly sprayed Holden's face, scaring him almost falling into the water.
"This, what's the situation?" Mr. Poet looked around in a panic, "What was happening just now, I was shocked!"
"Idiot! Standing so high, you are not afraid of being killed by a cannon, come down!"
Hailar pulled Holden off the bow, grabbed the binoculars and looked at the sea where the sound of the artillery came from, and couldn't help but change his face.
"Damn it! It's a warship! Fei's destroyer!"
"Notify the captain! Run away!"
The sailors on the deck couldn't help panicking when they heard the gunfire.
Captain Green rushed to the bow, took the binoculars handed by his daughter and observed it, and waved his hand to comfort everyone without panic.
"The enemy ship is still five nautical miles away, and there is only one ship. The probability of the ship’s artillery hitting us is very slim."
"There is only one enemy ship?" Holden rubbed his hands excitedly. "Mr. Captain, what else is there to worry about? Let's take the initiative to meet and kill the enemy ship!"
Captain Green shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It was a new-style iron-clad destroyer with dual-powered sails and steam systems. In addition to the bow and stern, there was a cannon. There were also 10 32-pound naval guns on both sides of the ship. The firepower was too fierce and it bombed the sea. The boat can't win."
"Wow... so powerful, let's run now!" Mr. Poet wiped away his cold sweat.
Captain Green nodded and immediately ordered the captain to turn the rudder. The Hullinghorn was fully sailed, turned to the west, and fled to Freeport at full speed.
The sea is blowing from the southeast wind, and the escape route of the Hullinghorn happens to be downwind, and the bulging white sails provide sufficient power. Although the enemy ship behind it is boosted by a steam boiler, the speed is not faster than that of the Hullinghorn. How many.
Two warships one after another, chasing on the vast blue sea, always maintaining a distance of about five nautical miles.
In order to speed up the speed of the destroyer of Feizhen's side, the shelling had to be suspended, which made the fleeing "Hringhorn" no worries.
If this continues, it will be able to return to the waters controlled by the Continental Army before nightfall. At that time, if the enemy ship does not give up the pursuit, it will fall into the siege of the pirate fleet and cannot protect itself.
At this moment, the weather at sea suddenly changed in a direction that was not conducive to the "Hringhorn".
The originally clear sky was quickly enveloped by dark clouds, dull thunder rumbled, and then it rained heavily.
The wind direction at sea also reversed, and the oncoming westerly wind brought a lot of resistance to the "Hellinghorn". Captain Green had to order the sails to converge and the speed also plummeted.
Behind them, the destroyer of Feizhen's side also lowered its mainsail, but the magic crystal steam turbine showed great value in this upwind environment. The propeller swelled the waves, and the speed almost did not decrease compared with the downwind, like a partial wave. The giant steel sharks are constantly approaching their prey.
"This is not like a normal weather change!"
Ms. Kate looked up at the stormy sky, her face extremely solemn.
"There is at least one high-level spell caster on the enemy ship. Just now he cast the 7th-level spell'Control the Weather' to attract wind and rain, causing us big trouble."
"Ms. Kate, you are a level 13 druid, should you be able to cast spells to eliminate bad weather that is not good for us?" Holden asked earnestly.
"It can be, but it's not very useful."
Ms. Kate has been serving as a navigator on the "Heringhorn" for these years, and it is clear that she has encountered an unprecedentedly difficult opponent.
"It takes at least ten minutes to prepare for the'control of the weather', and when the spellcaster on the enemy ship notices the change in the weather, it will also cast the same spell to counteract it. The result is that nothing has changed until one of them takes the lead. Use up all the pre-prepared'weather control' or 7th-level spell slots, and this tug-of-war will end."
