Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 79 New Life on the Pirate Ship
On the open bow deck of the Valkyrie, one after another large speakers made of wood and copper, with a diameter of more than two meters, were carefully installed on the railings and floor at the edge of the deck by the pirate brothers who were temporarily invited, along with the vine gorillas and gorillas.

After fixing the last wooden wedge, the vine goblins immediately manipulated the sea-viewing vines to further wrap and fix these large speakers.

Behind these large speakers, a piano moved from Cheng Lang's bedroom has been fixed in the middle of the semicircular deck.

At this time, the Silver Queen had just applied a thin layer of mist spirit liquid to the piano, which could protect it from the erosion of sea water and sunlight, and also allow the music it played to be better transmitted through the thick fog.

Everything was ready. The Silver Queen looked through the magic mirror at the music score placed in the performance room on the forecastle of another ship, which was dedicated to Tinisha and others. Then she floated to the piano, sat down, straightened her back and began to play solo.

When the beautiful piano sound was amplified and spread by the surrounding speakers, the Tinisha Orchestra on the other boat immediately plucked the strings on the stern and began to play.

For a moment, the beautiful melody of the prelude to love seemed to be faintly heard in the sea area surrounded by the circular fog. Some marine creatures, under the encouragement of this melody, began the important mission of reproducing new life in advance with their companions around them.

Soon after, Shenba, who happened to be taking a break with Gerta, also stood on the second-floor open-air deck at the bow and expertly sang the background music to this love prelude. Immediately afterwards, all the mixed-race sailors on the other boat also began to sing in chorus.

"Goddess, I feel like I'm in love. She's so beautiful."

Belvik, holding a hammer and a saw in his hands, looked at the huge shadow playing the piano with fascination, and swallowed his saliva with longing on his face.

"You idiot! Grass carp is fine, but grass undead will die!"

Kervik grabbed his brother's ear and reminded him in a very low voice with a tired look.

Afraid that his silly brother would embarrass himself, Kervik didn't even let go of his ear, and hurriedly took him into the hanging frame, letting the gorillas help send them to the Honest Man not far away.

Amidst this amorous music and singing, the two ships continued to move in the predetermined direction. Except for the sailors who participated in the spring song chorus at the bow, the rest of the sailors were busy with their own things.

In the forecastle kitchen of the Valkyrie, the idle Captain Cheng Lang once again poured all his enthusiasm into the research and development of new recipes.

Next to the main mast in the lower cabin, Yafuso was carefully picking those strange poisonous mushrooms.

In the conference room at the stern, Yun Ji was seriously discussing some little-known secrets and truths of the Star Sea Continent with the Magic Mirror.

At the open-air bridge, Gerta, who was in charge of the steering, would occasionally glance at the wooden boxes on the second deck in front.

These wooden boxes were filled with various vegetables that he had worked hard to cultivate. Today was a sunny and peaceful day, so he specially asked the gorillas to help move these seedlings out to bask in the sun.

For this honest old farmer from the orc kingdom, he simply believes that the secondhand sunlight provided by the magic mirror is far less nutritious than the firsthand sunlight - for those vegetable seedlings.

Even those gorillas who had no work assignments were leisurely hiding in the well-ventilated gun deck, enjoying the unlimited supply of fruit wine in groups of three or five.

No one, including the magic mirror and even the Silver Queen herself, noticed that at this moment, a faint collision sound came from the egg soaked in the mist spirit liquid in the center pool of the bow.

The egg itself trembled with the sound of the collision, causing ripples in the liquid in the center of the ship.

But soon, the banging sound stopped, and the egg returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh!"

There was only silence for the time it took to complete a song before a crashing sound came out of the egg again. This crashing sound even caused a circle of rapidly spreading ripples on the sea surface around the ship, and the heartbeats of everyone on the two boats almost skipped a beat.

"My baby! She's coming!"

The Silver Queen, who was sitting by the piano the previous second, let out a cry of surprise, and the next second she had crossed the deck and returned to the heart of the ship.

A little later, everyone who got the news also rushed to the ventricle of the ship.

"Is she about to be born?" Cheng Lang asked as he ran from the kitchen.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, she will be born soon." The Silver Queen replied in surprise and excitement.

Stop the ship

Cheng Lang immediately said, "Let's wait until the Silver Queen's baby is born before we move on!"

As the order was given, Gerta and the goblins at the helm cooperated with each other to stop the boat. The boat became extremely stable as the bridle serving as an anchor sank below the sea surface.

Soon, the Honest Man, following behind, also stopped. The pirate brothers who had just returned and the members of the Tinisha Band also rushed over.

The ship's ventricle naturally couldn't accommodate so many people, so after everyone looked around and saw the wonders, they immediately started preparing for the birthday celebration.

At the same time, everyone asked a question that the Silver Queen did not expect - what is the name of the unborn child.

"No name"

The Silver Queen was rarely flustered. "I haven't thought about this question."

"What do you usually call her?" Yafuso asked curiously.

"Uh, little princess," replied the Silver Queen.

"She must have a formal name," Yun Ji suggested. "Queen Silver, you can give her a name now. You are her mother."

"Ms. Yunji is right!"

The magic mirror also spoke at this time, "This is a privilege given to mothers. You can name your child."

Hearing this, the Silver Queen, who had most of her body hidden in the wall, pressed her hand against her chest and took a few deep breaths. "Let me think about it, let me think about it. I've never thought about this question, and I've never done such a thing before."

"Let's give space to the Silver Queen and her children."

Cheng Lang clapped his hands and said, "Now, let's go prepare for the banquet!"

Following the captain's order, the few remaining people in the center of the ship also scattered. Then, the two ships slowly came to the side and fixed the side. All the sailors on the other ship came to this ship and used wooden boards and oak barrels to piece together a long table running from the beginning to the end on the open deck.

At the same time, the kitchens of the two ships began to get busy. In order to celebrate, Cheng Lang even waved his hand and asked the sailors to kill a big fat pig as a snack to liven up the atmosphere.

"Boom!"

Following another dull crash that almost made everyone's heart skip a beat, all the sailors cheered in encouragement. Tinisha even started an impromptu performance with her band members on the second-floor open deck.

Amid the encouraging cheers and music, and everyone's anticipation, a crisp "crack" sound was finally heard from the direction of the ship's ventricle.

Almost immediately, the Silver Queen passed through the wall, flew around the mast, and ascended into the air. She then landed on the second-floor open-air deck at the bow, lifting her skirt slightly as she excitedly said, "My child is born, and I've already thought of her name."

"What's her name?" Yafuso asked first.

"Mist Shadow"

The Silver Queen said, "Her name is Mist Shadow. It's the shadow in the sea mist, and it's also my shadow, so she's called Mist Shadow."

Before she finished speaking, the Silver Queen had sunk into the floor. A moment later, she carefully surrounded a little girl who looked only six or seven years old and walked out of the forecastle and onto the deck.

"Hello everyone"

The little girl bowed deeply to everyone with great sincerity, and even spread her two little arms like two little wings to maintain her balance.

Straightening up again, the little guy said in a baby voice, "My name is Wuying. It smells so good. I want to eat it."

After he said this, the many sailors sitting on both sides of the long table burst into laughter.

While many sailors were enthusiastically inviting the little guy to the table for dinner, Cheng Lang was also looking at Wuying.

This adorable little fellow is fair and tender, a real life, not an incorporeal undead shadow like the Silver Queen.

But at the same time, she retains almost the same appearance features as the Silver Queen.

She had lovely antlers on her forehead, silver hair and pointed ears, gills on her neck, and two pairs of wings on her back that looked like dragonfly fins. She was even wearing a gorgeous princess dress that was identical to the Silver Queen's, only several sizes smaller.

No wonder it's called Wuying, the name is really appropriate
Cheng Lang couldn't help but look at Yun Ji who was sitting opposite him. They obviously thought the same thing.

Of course, where there are similarities, there are also differences.

For some unknown reason, Misty Shadow has no scales on her body. Not only does she have no scales, but her lower body is even made up of human legs, not a harp tail like the Silver Queen.

Not only that, this little guy also has a floppy red hat on his head that looks like a turtle shell.

On either side of Little Red Riding Hood were similarly adorned with feather-like dragonfly fins. Yun Ji, who was closer and had a better view, even noticed that each of the little creature's pointed ears had a tiny tassel pendant dangling from its earlobes.

"Her hat."

"She was wearing that hat when she hatched."

The Silver Queen floated over to Yun Ji and sat down, picking up the wine glass. "That dress and shoes were also worn by her when she was born, as well as those two necklaces."

At this point, the Silver Queen asked worriedly, "Captain, Miss Yunji, is Wuying..."

"Don't worry, no."

The one who answered this question was the pale green figure in the mirror hanging on the wall not far away.

Seeing Cheng Lang and the others looking over, the magic mirror explained, "Ms. Silver Queen, please rest assured. Wuying is not controlled by anyone. Those two bridles look more like her weapons to me."

"Her weapon?"

"Yes"

The magic mirror explained, "She is the product of an accident during the creation of the god. The shackles woven with tassels may be able to lock up the Silver Queen, but they probably can't lock her up, so please rest assured.

Besides, it would be very easy to verify this by seeing if she could remove the two bridles herself."

"Mist Shadow"

The Silver Queen waved her hand, and Wuying, who was originally standing on the oak barrel, immediately jumped down and ran to the Silver Queen's side, calling out "Mom" in a baby voice.

"Can you take off your necklace?" asked the Silver Queen, holding Misty Shadow in her arms.

"this one?"

As Wuying spoke, she stretched out her little hands and took off the tassels on her left and right earlobes.

"Okay, go play."

The Silver Queen said gently, and Wuying put on the "earrings" again and jumped out of the Silver Queen's arms.

"She may really have the potential to become a god," the magic mirror exclaimed.

"I just hope she can grow up freely," sighed the completely relieved Silver Queen.

"She will grow up freely on our ship," Cheng Lang said, picking up his wine glass. "I swear on the heart of the ship."

"I will also protect this ship," the Silver Queen said, also holding up her wine glass, "and I swear on the heart of the ship."

"So are we!"

As Yafusuo and the others spoke, they also raised their cups and clinked them with the cups of the people around them.

During this day when the ship was not sailing, everyone sang and danced in this sea of ​​despair, celebrating the arrival of new life with songs and music.

It was not until the sunset sank into the sea that the drunken sailors returned to their respective posts. The two ships separated again, raised the anchors, let the wind inflate the sails again, and continued to move towards the Misty Island.

In the night, the Silver Queen sat on the crossmast, gently plucking the strings at the end of the harp, watching with interest the exploration activities of her daughter Misty Shadow, who seemed to have unlimited energy, all over the ship.

By the second half of the night, the starry night sky was shrouded in dark clouds. Soon, heavy rain and strong winds covered a large area of ​​​​the sea, and huge waves were raised on the sea surface.

When the wave was about to hit the Valkyrie, the Silver Queen waved her hand nonchalantly, manipulating the nine pairs of dragonfly fins on both sides of the ship to swing gently. The ship steadily rushed onto the waves, and then after a short leap of the distance between two hulls of ship, it steadily pressed down another wave and landed back on the sea surface.

"gollum"

Shenba, who was in charge of steering the ship at night, swallowed his saliva. His eyes were wide open in shock at what he had just seen.

Before he could say anything, the Silver Queen floated into the interior cockpit, lifted her skirt slightly and said, "Mr. Shenba, please go and rest. Leave the rest to me."

"Can you steer the boat?" Shenba asked a stupid question.

"I have controlled countless sailing ships in these hundreds of years," said the Silver Queen with a smile, "so please leave it to me."

"Can I watch from here?" Shenba said politely, "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious."

"sure"

Silver Queen smiled and pointed overhead, "I'll be operating from the open-air bridge."

After saying this, the Silver Queen had already passed through the wall and arrived at the open-air driving platform.

She had obtained permission from the magic mirror to enter the aft deck conference room and open-air bridge a few days ago, but this was her first time at the helm.

Of course, she didn't know that the magic mirror was secretly watching her every move.

Compared to Shenba, Queen Yin has it much easier to steer the ship.

She didn't even have to touch the steering wheel. She just let a cloud of mist cover the control panel, and she could easily turn the steering wheel at will. In conjunction with the dragonfly fins, which she was also responsible for, she steered the Valkyrie, sailing steadily in the raging waves with an exceptionally stable posture.

“It seems I need to find a new job for myself.”

In the indoor control room, Shenba sighed helplessly. It was obvious that the Silver Queen was more suitable for the position of helmsman than him or Gerta. Under her control, not only did the gorillas not have to adjust the sails frequently, but even the people in the cabin were not woken up by the shaking.

At the same time, on the Honest Man, which was not far away, the person at the helm changed from deck captain Whitebread to Belvic.

Their boat had also been transplanted with dragonfish fins. Although there were only three pairs, it made the boat much more stable in the waves than before. They even increased their speed due to the strong wind.

However, before this high-speed sailing could continue until dawn, the Silver Queen sounded the alarm to wake everyone up, and at the same time, a thick fog rose within a nautical mile around the two ships.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Cheng Lang, who was awakened, struggled to get up and pulled off his blindfold and asked.

"It's the Silver Queen sounding the alarm!"

The magic mirror paused and explained, "Fleet, there are two fleets heading towards us, they are fighting!"

"Two fleets?"

Cheng Lang struggled to get up and asked, "How many boats are there?"

"How many? How many? How many?"

The magic mirror muttered something and immediately replied, "Hundreds! At least hundreds of them!"

"How many?!"

Cheng Lang's voice rose several octaves, and he quickly ran to the conference room upstairs with his boots in hand.
