Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Li Cha was puzzled after hearing the sailor's words, but saw the captain of the "Bernicra" running out of the captain's cabin, and said repeatedly: "I know, I know."

Li Cha couldn't help turning his head to look at the captain.

He knew very well that the other party was called Figgis, about fifty years old, with a full beard.

The opponent's navigation skills can't be said to be bad, but they are very average, just average, not as good as Captain Morgan of the previous "Naru Glory Fisherman".

But the other party didn't feel ashamed, and said very seriously many times that no matter how good the sailing skills are, it's useless. Things like sailing are not based on skills, but on luck, but on the blessing of the sea god. Therefore, they wear brightly colored costumes all day long, hoping to be blessed by the sea god, and wear a lot of accessories, which are shells, rings, blue stones, etc. dedicated to the sea god.

Under the influence of the other party, the sailors on the entire ship are all talking about God and God, and usually they must talk about Sea God if they can't speak three sentences. It seems that not doing so is disrespecting Sea God. When encountering any major events, such as sailing or returning to Hong Kong, a large-scale sacrifice will be carried out, and a large number of sacrifices will be thrown into the sea water.

Although he is not disgusted with this kind of thing, he will never feel cordial, so he has always kept a certain distance from Captain Figgis, like a bystander watching him lead the sailors to do various things. After the captain Figgis tried to persuade him, an unbelievers, to no avail, he didn't say anything more, and let him "do his own thing". After all, he had paid enough for the boat ride.

Li Cha, who was standing on the deck, didn't want to ask about this sudden incident, but when he saw the appearance of the captain Figgis who ran out, he became a little curious.

I saw Captain Figgis quickly take off the brightly colored clothes he wore every day while running out, and then put on a dark yellow dress, and took off the many ornaments around his neck, and put them on Another crimson pendant.

After finishing all this, Figgis shouted to the sailors to gather on the deck, and at the same time shouted and urged: "Mousse, Peak, quickly move out the sacrifice, it will be too late, and the sea god Aya will definitely punish you.

"Yes, Captain, here we come." As Figgis shouted, two sailors walked out quickly carrying a table, which was full of sacrifices, which the sailors could not eat on weekdays. Delicious food: roast chicken, roast duck, roast seabird, sashimi, not very fresh fruit, spirits...

The sailors looked at it and couldn't help swallowing. When Figgis heard the sound of saliva, he immediately stared at him: "What are you doing! This is dedicated to Aia, the sea god. Do you want to compete with the sea god for food?"

"Don't dare." A group of sailors quickly denied, and then fell down on the deck.

The two sailors who carried the table put the table on the side of the deck, and followed suit.

Captain Figgis nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward, and seemed about to lower his body, but was stopped by Richard the next moment: "Captain Figgis, wait a moment."

"Huh? Mr. Richard, what can you do?" Figgis turned his head and looked over.

Li Cha raised his eyebrows, and asked very frankly: "Captain Figgis, I remember you told me before that you believe in Luroux, the god of the sea, right? Why do you suddenly change your belief now?" , what kind of sea god Aya has become?"

"No way!" Figgis said quickly, "How did I change my belief?! I have always believed in the sea god Luroux, okay! But while I believe in the sea god Luroux, I also believe in the sea god Aya. .Besides, I also believe in Sea God Nuruk, Sea God Bard Treasurer, Sea God Hughes, Sea God Alice, Sea God Aqua..."

Figgis opened his mouth, and a series of names of the sea gods came out.

Li Cha was taken aback when he heard this: "There are so many Sea Gods?"

"Of course there are so many." Figgis showed a look of "you don't understand", and then said familiarly, "I know, it must be the first time you have heard so many names of sea gods, but let me tell you, the world There are so many sea gods on earth.

I am not like those ignorant hypocrites! I am a true believer full of wisdom! I believe in all the sea gods in this world, and I know each sea god's name, preferences, and the sea area they belong to.

In each of the different sea god domains, I will wear different sea god costumes, wear different sea god accessories, and present different sea god favorite food, so I can get the blessing of sea god in any sea area, and my ship will be Nothing ever happened—never!

Those stupid hypocrites can’t do it, at most they know the name of one or two sea gods, and they always perform sacrifices and pray in the wrong sea area, so naturally they can’t get the blessing of the sea god in the corresponding sea area, and it may cause some petty eyes The wrath of the Sea God caused storms and shipwrecks. "

"Uh, is that so... It seems that you are really full of wisdom." Li Cha said slowly after hearing what Figgis said.

Figgis looked over and took a serious look at Li Cha. Maybe he felt that Li Cha was a little "tempted". He took a deep breath and persuaded him excitedly, "Of course I am full of wisdom, so I can lead my boat. , sailing smoothly again and again. Mr. Richard, believe me, the sea gods really exist, and they are watching everyone all the time. If you are going to believe in sea myths like me now, I can lead you the way. How about it?

As long as you and I pray for the blessing of the Sea God who is about to reach the new sea area, luck will surely come to you, even if you go ashore, this luck will accompany you. "

Li Cha blinked his eyes, and did not answer Figgis immediately, but asked aloud: "Captain Figgis, don't worry about the matter of faith, but I have one thing that I'm confused about, that is, since there are so many sea gods, how can you How did you manage to accurately distinguish each Seagod region?"

"Isn't this simple?" Figgis asked back, "Didn't you hear the sailor call me just now, has the sea water changed? Let me tell you, Mr. Richard, different sea water colors represent different sea areas. Of course, in the rest There are simpler divisions, but around here, the color of the sea water determines the division of the sea area." Figgis pointed towards the front of the deck as he spoke.

Li Cha looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and sure enough, he saw obvious color divisions in the sea area in front of him.

In the vast sea water, there seems to be a clear line. The sea water on this side of the line is dark blue, and the sea water on the other side of the line is light blue, with a bit of yellow in the light blue.

This phenomenon continued, whether it was the sea wind blowing or the waves surging, there was no big change, like a miracle, like a management area that a real sea god could divide.

"See it." Figgis said loudly, "Mr. Richard, that line is the dividing line. After crossing that line, we are very close to Port Moore, which also means that we have entered the Sea God Allen In the sea area, you must prepare sacrifices in advance, and pray as soon as you cross the line, so that you can get the greatest blessing from Sea God Aya."

"So it's like this...it really makes sense..." Li Cha looked at the sea area in front of him for a long time, and said slowly, he didn't know what to say anymore.

In his opinion, if there is no guesswork about the phenomenon in the sea area ahead, it is not the boundary of the Sea God's region, but... the phenomenon of the ocean front.

Well, Ocean Front.

The ocean front is a narrow transitional zone between two or several types of water bodies with distinct characteristics, ranging in width from tens of centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. wait.

This kind of situation is widely distributed on the earth, such as the waters near Zhoushan in the East China Sea, the waters near Alaska in the United States, and the waters near the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

Generally speaking, because the different water bodies separated by the ocean front have obvious differences in temperature, salinity, density, flow velocity, etc., the colors will naturally be different.

In other words, although the ocean front looks awe-inspiring and miraculous, it is just an ordinary natural phenomenon that can be explained by science.

Of course, in this world, in Figgis' cognition, science does not exist at all, and the division of Seagod's regions is the only truth. In this regard, he didn't want to say anything more, after all, everyone's ideas are different.

At the same time, he didn't bother to give the other party science - the other party was neither his subordinate nor his son, and he had no reason to make the other party smarter and let the other party know the truth, which was thankless.

Li Cha thought so, but Figgis spoke again. ()
