Life of wandering on the sea for a long time is undoubtedly boring. Facing the vast ocean, when the initial freshness is no longer there, anyone who watches it for a long time will feel bored. In many cases, hardship and danger are the main themes of navigation. ∈♀
Half a month is not long or short, but the crew members on the Oak have basically fallen into a state of physical and mental exhaustion, even Prous, who has the most experience in his sailing career, is no exception.
"It's so damn! If the storm hadn't caused the course to deviate the day before yesterday, maybe the traces of the mainland would have been seen today!"
Prous's eyes were deep, his eyes stared at the old chart spread out on the table with a dull look, his mouth kept complaining, and the iconic triangle hat on his head was tilted to the side without any thought of sorting out.
"Captain, this is the honey water you want."
At this time, Anphill came to his table at some point and brought the prepared honey water to his hand.
Prous picked up the honey water and took a sip. Then his brow suddenly frowned, and his mouth squirted for a moment and turned his head to look at the listless Anfir and said, "Anfir, why does the honey water taste a little different from the past? Did you add something more to it?"
"No, I have always arranged it according to the previous method. Captain, you can't wrongly accuse me!" Anfield said aggrievedly.
"Try it yourself."
Prous handed the honey water directly to the other party.
Anphil took the drink carefully and looked stunned. He said, "It seems that the smell is a bit strange. Captain, do you think it is because of the deterioration of fresh water?"
"If it is a problem of fresh water deterioration, why did it change yesterday but today?" Prous said in a deep voice.
"Maybe I used another bucket of fresh water today?" Anphir said hesitantly.
"See me to see the fresh water in the storage room. Fresh water deterioration is a big problem, which can affect the health of everyone on board!"
Prous took a deep breath, tidied up his triangle hat and walked straight towards the door.
After a while, the two of them came to the storage room, and Prous immediately checked all the wooden barrels that stored fresh water. As time passed, his expression became more and more serious.
Putting down the sealed lid of the last bucket of fresh water, he shook his head and said, "Sure enough, all fresh water has deteriorated!"
"No way?" Anfield said in a panic: "What should I do?"
"Don't worry, I'll inform all crew members that they must boil every time they drink fresh water. Although this cannot solve the problem of fresh water deterioration, it can at least reduce the harm." Prous sighed and said, "Besides, we can reach the West Coast continent within three days at the latest. Then we won't have to worry about fresh water anymore."
"Okay!" Anphil said with a sigh of relief: "By the way, does Your Excellency Xia Lan need a notice?"
"Of course! And the task of notifying them is given to you at the same time! Remember to explain more flexibly." Prous said.
"Captain... don't..." Anphill lamented.
"Okay. That's the decision!"
Prous turned around and left, looking too lazy to pay attention, because at this time his mind had already shifted to other places.
Freshwater spoilage is a common problem on sailing. If it is not a particularly long voyage, most ship owners will dock at other city ports from time to time during the voyage to replenish fresh water to avoid fresh water from damage to the health of crew members. During the voyage, fresh water can be compensated by rain. If you are lucky, you may encounter islands with water sources.
Unfortunately, they had never even touched the reefs on the way to the West Coast continent. They only collected some drinking rainwater on rainy days when the storm was not strong.
What really surprised Prous was why Danshui turned all deteriorated overnight? You should know that no one on the boat felt the abnormality of Danshui yesterday!
...
...
“Is that the real purpose of you asking me to make poison?”
After Prous and Anphil left the storage room, Xialan and Winnie suddenly walked out of some darkness.
"Is there any problem?" Xia Lan smiled leaning against the edge of the boat corridor.
"I just didn't expect you to poison everyone on this ship." Winnie walked to a bucket of fresh water, stretched out her finger and dipped it in a bit of fresh water and tasted it, and said, "If it weren't for the simplicity of the poison, I can guarantee that they would never notice anything unusual."
"You can convert healing potions into poisons, but even Magnison praised your potions." Xia Lan said.
"Not to mention these compliments, I am very self-aware of the gap between Magnison in the field of potions." Winnie said lightly. "Instead of talking about these meaningless things, I want to know why you do this?!"
"They know too much." Xia Lan understated.
"That's all?" Winnie was stunned for a moment.
"It's enough to have a reason to die, and no matter how many other reasons are, it's meaningless." Xia Lan said. "Are you sure the time for the onset of the drug effect a week? I don't expect that Monterres didn't arrive at that time, and the crew members died."
"Are you questioning my potency?" Winnie said coldly.
"It's just for safety reasons." Xia Lan said.
"If any crew member on the ship dies within a week, I will make a decision to verdict. Will you be satisfied?" Winnie stared at Xia Lan and said.
“Very satisfied.”
Xia Lan nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"By the way, what are you going to arrange for us after arriving in Monteres?" Winnie asked as he looked at his departure back.
"Don't worry, you will know soon." Xia Lan said without looking back: "Recently, you and Magnison should think carefully about the materials and supplies needed on the list. I will not have any extra time to leave for you by then."
As Xia Lan gradually disappeared from the end of her sight, Winnie couldn't help but clench the fist in her hand.
These days, Xialan seemed to ignore her and Magnison. She only took the time to meet the two of them occasionally. Other times he had been staying in the lounge with Adrina. She knew what Xialan was doing without thinking too much!
She does not reject the love between normal men and women, but Xia Lan's behavior is obviously different. He is as licentious as a wild beast who is always in heat, which is simply disgusting.
