Humans are really complicated animals, and everyone has acting skills. You can't completely trust what's on the bright side, and what's in the dark is too vague. Aldridge will inevitably think too much and think wildly.

"As long as you enter that 'ruin' smoothly, it's enough to save your life before that. It doesn't matter how they tear it apart, but I definitely can't mix it too deeply."

Back in his own compartment in the cabin, Aldridge once again emphasized his original intention to himself.

Aldrich frowned suddenly, and found that something was not right—the pale woman hadn't come to him once since he set out to sea in the morning!

According to the frequency of at least 4 or 5 times a day in the past, this is obviously wrong.

This is certainly not an accident, but some kind of regularity.

"Because of the three families?"

The information constantly whispered in the pale woman's mouth undoubtedly pointed to the three families, and now that Aldrich is on the same route with them, this may be the reason why 'she' no longer appears.

"This so-called 'curse' is not specifically to kill people, but to guide something..."

Aldrich put his hands behind his head and leaned against the head of the bed in a trance.

"Maybe after arriving at the ruins, everything will be clear."

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Hook came and knocked on the door of the compartment: "Mr. Aldridge, something interesting happened at sea, do you want to come and see?"

Aldridge wasn't sleeping either, just closed his eyes and rested. Hearing this, he thought something was wrong. He immediately turned over and sat up, and said at the same time, "I'll be right there."

"OK."

Aldridge came out, and Hook scratched his hair and gave a messy salute.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like a big deal has happened.

As he walked up, Aldridge asked, "What happened?"

Hook followed behind and said puzzledly: "I can't tell, it's strange to hear other sailors say it."

Aldridge didn't speak, turned on the deck and looked around. Most of the sailors were still at their posts, while a few were shouting at the sea in front of the railing.

"Look at that!"

"Hey, jumping really high!"

"..."

Aldridge walked over to where no one was and looked out to sea.

At this time, the clouds in the sky were a little thick, blocking the brilliance of the double moon, but the kerosene lamps around the hull still brought some light, and the current situation could be seen.

On the upper level of the sea area around the three ships, a wide, silver light band shuttled in the dim light. From time to time, a few big fish thirty or forty centimeters long jumped out of the sea, and they were two or three meters high when they rushed!

"Encountered a school of fish?" Aldrich frowned and muttered to himself.

Hook also came over at this time. It was estimated that Aldridge was very talkative and not too afraid. He said, "This should be the 'Moon River'."

"Oh?"

Hu Ke nodded a little embarrassedly, and said, "I just heard that this is the falling star fish. At night at sea, people with good luck can occasionally see a silver river, because it is the brilliance of the double moon. Shine, so it is called the 'Moon River'."

Aldridge nodded knowingly, presumably because of the seasonal migration of the population for spawning.

He looked up at the sky and said helplessly, "It's a pity that there is no moonlight today."

"Well...it's actually very strange," Hook scratched his hair again and said, "I heard that this kind of scene can only be seen in autumn."

Aldridge also found it strange to hear this. It is reasonable to say that the migration time of a population is very fixed, especially the migration that occurs for reproduction.

"Mr. Aldridge."

At this time, Herbert appeared at the rudder and waved.

Aldridge leaned over, Herbert frowned and glanced at the sky, said solemnly: "The weather may be a bit bad tonight."

"Well, but it's not like a storm, is it?" Aldridge expected when he saw the thick clouds, once cumulus clouds appeared at sea, the possibility of rain would be very high.

It's just that the wind and waves are not big now, and the light of lightning cannot be seen in the distance. It is estimated that it will not be as bad as a storm.

Herbert nodded and said, "It shouldn't be, but when the sea encounters rainy weather, the creatures in the sea will be very active. If the waves are a little bigger... it will still be a little dangerous."

Aldridge understood what he meant and said directly: "Don't worry, if the situation is not right, I will take action."

Herbert breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

"Captain Helena...how is it?" Aldridge still did some superficial work and asked with 'concern'.

Herbert shook his head and said nothing.

Aldridge immediately changed the subject and said, "What do you think of the situation in the sea?"

Herbert said: "I have been at sea for so many years, and I have seen the 'Moon River' twice, but it is a bit strange to appear in April."

"Um."

Herbert was also very uneasy. It wasn't long before he went to sea this time, but two strange things had already happened, which was not a good sign.

He turned his head to look at the Roman in the left front of the Zhanlang, and then looked at the unknown ship Ledger on the right, and said, "There is no news from the other two ships. Ledger and La Masia are experienced and should be no problem."

Aldridge pouted and said, "It's them who we need to be most vigilant about."

Herbert was silent.

"You should also know that Captain Helena is a little adventurous this time." Aldridge looked at him and said in a low voice.

Herbert hesitated, but nodded anyway.

He said: "I didn't know it at the beginning. The captain told me after he signed the Sea Alliance. Because of this incident, the sailors on the ship ran away several times."

"Wise choice."

"But you have also seen that these urgently replenished sailors on the ship are too inexperienced and unreliable at critical times."

Aldridge smiled and said, "Maybe it would be good to see blood."

"I hope so."

The small fleet of three ships did not accidentally pass through the waters where the 'Moon River' flows, but at about 9 o'clock, it really started to rain in the sky.

The wind was stronger, and the waves were also a lot more intense, patting the side of the hull.

"careful!"

"careful!"

In addition to the slap of the water splash~lightnovelpub.net~ there was also a muffled sound on the hull. It was estimated that some fish had hit the boat, and the sailors were admonishing each other.

Aldrich turned some black-gold particles from the rocks in the cabin, and constructed a black-gold spear just in case.

"If you happen to encounter 'mystery', remember to help me catch it." Aldridge said to Herbert.

"Okay." Herbert was also present when the conditions were negotiated. Naturally, she knew that this was one of the conditions Helena paid, and she did not refuse.

"Report to the mate, there is news from the ship ahead."

Herbert immediately came to the bow in the rain to watch the semaphore for a while, and after understanding it clearly, he immediately shouted: "Speed ​​up."

"Yes!"

The sails were adjusted, and the speed of Zhanlang was significantly improved.
