Chapter 377 The Road to Expedition: Black Fortress

Loyal Warm Reminder: This article is a three-in-one chapter. It was originally two parts (referring to the incised manuscript) but! This is not loyal, this is heresy, so! I, the loyal author, chose the loyal merger.

Chapter, let everyone enjoy it all at once.

The bottom plate of the long ship passed over the light, and the sea-like light curtain was broken into two halves from the bow. Thousands of light particles roared past the sides of the silver-gray hull. Those

The dust of light rolled backwards, blowing past the surface of the wide light sail extending from one side and lying flat on the light waves.

The silver light curtain slowly unfolded from both sides of the hull through fixed long poles, just like the ancient sailboats sailing in the sea on ancient Terra. In the light, it flickered and then released the driving force to let the hull slide across the sea of ​​stars.

Sparkling light particles are constantly surging along the side of the ship. Those small blue rays of light are rolling backwards from both sides of the ship's hull, surging like waves, but the waves of light will not wet the deck, nor will it wet the deck.

The slender palms stretched out to them will not get wet. Those delicate hands as delicate as porcelain stretch out from the side of the ship and brush against the waves of light.

Invisible, shadowless and temperatureless light waves surged between the fingers, slapped on the palm, and gently blended into the white skin, then jumped out from the back of the hand and fell towards the rear of the hull.

The blue waves immediately rolled away to the far rear.

Lilith looked at the palm in the light. She gently moved her slender fingers. With her graceful steps, the palm gently passed through the waves of light. Lilith walked from the side of the deck.

, the body also leaned against the silver side of the ship.

Her entire arm stretched out of the hull, letting the rolling waves surge up and down her arm. She enjoyed the breeze blowing on her face and letting her silver hair dance with the wind. Lilith closed her eyes.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the air in the breeze, and then slowly exhaled.

She hummed happily, then raised her eyes to look at the upper bridge steps that were approaching in front of her. Lilith brushed her palms forward through the waves, gently took them back, then stood on tiptoes and gently

After the ground spun, she came to the stairs. She immediately stepped up and walked onto the bridge holding on to the upward handrail.

Vito, who was standing on the bridge, glanced at Lilith who was walking up. He was holding the rudder, standing in the center of the bridge, holding the huge rudder behind the wooden fence directly in front.

Operate this longship that sails in the webway star sea.

Lilith stood on tiptoes and jumped onto the last step. She turned around in a circle with her hands behind her back and then looked up at the huge sail under the bridge that stood high in the center of the deck. The light sail was high on the mast.

The ground stood tall, gleaming with the light of stardust that blew across the hull.

"How is it? It feels nostalgic? Like going back to the past?" Lilith smiled and spun around, coming to Vito's side. She gently lowered her tiptoes and stood steadily beside Vito.

The latter smiled and turned the hand holding the helm a little to the side.

"It's true that the ships of the Eldar remind me of the sailing ships of the past more than the warships of the current empire." Vito said, raising his head and feeling the freshness of the breeze blowing on his face. He had forgotten the last time

When was it possible to steer the boat like this and sail on the sea, breaking through the waves in the wind?

It feels like a long, long time ago. The bridges of the Empire's battleships were all fully sealed. Even the semi-open bridge of Macragge's Glory used a void shield to isolate the surrounding exposed space.

Isolated from the cold void outside, although this is understandable. After all, you see, people can't breathe in a vacuum after all, right?

But Vito still prefers this kind of open bridge. The entire deck is not covered by steel or covered by a closed shield. The entire ship moves forward in the wind. Chen Feng breaks through the waves and lets the sea breeze blow on the deck.

Her hair and dress swayed with the wind.

Although there is still a small flaw, Vito cannot smell the sea breeze and sea water. After all, the Star Sea is not a real sea, right? But Vito is content enough. He is satisfied enough to be able to hold the rudder again.

Yes.

"When was the first time you sailed a ship? During the Great Navigation Period?" Lilith leaned back on the railing in front of the rudder. She leaned on it and asked with a smile while looking at Vito, who was holding the ship.

After turning the helm a few times, he stood up and shrugged.

"No, it was much earlier than that. I remember the first time I got on the ship was when I was fifteen? I can't remember the exact age. After all, it was a long, long time ago."

As Vito spoke, he took the helm of the ship and steered the entire ship through the surrounding light that moved backwards at the speed of light. The shuttle passages in the webway were like long strips of time, and as the

The hull's rapid advance swept backwards from both sides.

Vito recalled everything at that time, and he seemed to be able to smell the smell of sea water again from that memory. It was the unique sea water of the Aegean Sea, the warm sea breeze blowing from the coast of Egypt, and the people jumping up from the sea.

Flying fish, the roar of the waves, and the sound of the crew busy on the deck. When the oars are pushed by the sailors sitting on the benches under the step decks on both sides, the wooden oars interact with the wooden sides.

The sound of collision.

There are also the waves, churning with the oars below, and the roaring sound that slaps on the hard side of the ship. The wind blows the tall sails, causing the logo outlined on it to vibrate with the wind, and the roaring sound echoes.

In Vito's ear.

Those ancient memories are already a long time ago and will never come back. After all, the entire sea of ​​Terra evaporated in the war in the Era of Strife, and the Aegean Sea also followed the memory of the hometown of Crete.

, disappeared together into those long-lasting memories.

"You boarded the ship as a sailor?" Lilith put her hands back on the guardrail. After raising her head slightly, she looked down at Vito, who was steering the helm in front of her. The latter shrugged and suddenly changed.

It became a one-handed helm.

His other hand fell to his side, and he used only one hand to hold the rudder to make a small steering movement. "No, I was working as a businessman on it. I remember I was working for my uncle Kirk.

If I remember his name correctly."

"You became a merchant at such a young age? No wonder you are so cunning." "I call that shrewdness. I learned a lot from traveling around for business, and I still use it now. I followed the merchant ships all over the world.

The coast of the Mediterranean, the Greek islands, the coastline of North Africa, the ports of Egypt, and Rome, which was then just a small city.”

Vito recalled the memory of traveling around at that time. It was a beautiful memory, so good that Vito couldn't help but smile. His eyes looked at the light curtain passing in front of him, with a bright smile on his face.

"It seems that you have indeed learned a lot. Is this how you learned to see through that guy's identity? The intuition among businessmen?" Lilith smiled and turned her head, sitting on the armrest and looking at the sailing ship in front of her.

The long boat in front of their boat was a more beautiful long boat. It was overall black, with dark golden lines embellishment on the edge of the ship's side and the mast.

On the towering mast sits a statue of a sphinx woman with her hands crossed on her chest. She stands high, looking at the distant route, while the same two statues are located at the bow and stern of the ship, both bulging everywhere.

A tall mast was built, and when it stood up, the top curved inward to form a ring.

On the curved mast of the bow, there is a statue of a jackal with a head and a body, and at the tail is a statue of a warrior with a crocodile head and a strong body. They are one behind the other, guarding the body of the long ship.

On the black side of the ship, on the slender hull outlined by golden lines, a whole row of shields hangs on both sides. Those small round shields are arranged together one by one, with a figure depicted on them.

The images of sphinx-like women are arranged between the bow and stern of the ship.

The ship belonged to Hilko, and like him, it exuded an aura of nobility from beginning to end, or in other words, it was gaudy. Vito looked at the ship and snorted softly.

"Part of it is intuition, but the other part is my guess." Vito said and quickly turned the rudder to one side several times. The round rudder of the sailboat turned greatly, and the light sails on both sides also followed.

After correcting the position, the entire long boat corrected the angle of the bow in the waves.

Lilith's head shook slightly as the ship's hull turned, and the silver hair on the back of her head swayed in the wind. "How did you deduce it? Look at the face?"

"That's metaphysics. Although there is a lot of metaphysics in this universe now, no, no, I used scientific methods to infer it." Vito stood up, holding the long poles on both sides of the rudder with both hands, and his arms

The rudder must be steady in front of you.

"I'm all ears." Lilith sat on the mast, her right leg crossed and leaning on the other leg. She supported her chin with her hands and looked at Vito on the side.

The latter shrugged, holding the rudder in front of him and swinging it gently, "Males told me that Victor hired a pirate boss to find artifacts for him, and I know Victor, he will not

Such an important thing is handed over to an idiot whom I don't know. He would not do such stupid things. That person must be a well-known and reliable person."

"As for Stulin, he told me himself that he is well-known in Comoros and has a well-known reputation. He is as old as Victor and is one of the oldest real leaders in the entire Comoros.

His behavior also reveals his uniqueness, or in other words, the old-fashioned Dark Eldar behavior that Victor would like."

"Finally, plus Malus told me that he likes fighting beasts very much and has spent a lot of effort on it, so when the werewolf warrior appeared, I was sure it was him. That kind of fighting beast is not easy to find if you have money.

If you can't get it, you have to be rich and powerful to get it, so he must be the person I'm looking for."

As Vito spoke, he gently turned the rudder, and raised his eyes to look at the sailboat sailing in front. Lilith sat on the armrest, hung her head upside down, and looked at the inverted boat in the field of vision at a strange angle.

longship.

Her silver hair hung like a waterfall on the back of her head, and her purple eyes looked at the ship sailing on the light curtain, "So what should we do next? Can it be solved with a knife?"

"Part of it is okay, but the other part is for writing. I have to find the artifact first. Fight all the way in and they will have time to pick it up. I don't want to waste time looking for that thing in a place that knows how big it is.

, so, after I get the artifact, you can go on a killing spree."

"Very good, I happen to be almost hungry." Lilith said with a smile on her lips, while Vito snorted softly, then held the rudder with both hands and turned it twice in front of him, "You have such a big appetite, be careful about getting fat.

"I want you to take care of it."

Just when Vito was arguing with Lily, a holographic image was projected from behind the rudder on the raised terrace in front of his disc rudder. It was the bust of Stulin, and he flashed out of the holographic image.

Then he rose in front of Vito.

"Prepare to jump out of my ship, we are here." "Understood, I will follow, but don't let your defensive weapons beat me to ashes." "Hahaha, no, you and your beast are now

You are my valuable asset, so don’t worry and follow me.”

As Stulin said, he suddenly flashed and disappeared from the image. Vito smiled slightly and raised his head, watching the black and gold longship in front of him suddenly twitch forward from the shuttle tunnel, and then disappeared in an instant.

In the blue shuttle space.

Seeing this, Vito also held the rudder with one hand and waved the other hand in front of him. An operation interface quickly popped up on the holographic interface in front of the rudder, "Lily, sit tight."

As he spoke, Lilith jumped down from the armrest with both hands. She turned around and put her hands on the fence. Vito smiled and pressed the icon on the holographic window in front of him with his fingers. In an instant,

A circle rotated on the sign. The circle quickly slid out and closed into a circle at the top after turning around.

With the formation of the circle, the long shuttle boat under Vito's feet suddenly rushed forward, and the surrounding shuttle space quickly twitched backwards. The space-time light band of the heading became quite long in an instant, and then quickly again in an instant.

Pulling forward, it shot the longship out of the shuttle space like a slingshot.

The space in front of the longship quickly disappeared, and they seemed to rush out of a tunnel and suddenly sailed into the main space of the Webway. The stars in the sky instantly appeared all around, replacing the previous shuttle tunnel.
