The color of the sky changed in an instant.

It was clear that the sky was clear at that moment, but now, the azure blue sky seemed to be soaked in ink and turned extremely dark.

As soon as the Narwhal entered this dark storm, the black clouds up and down immediately rolled like thunder. They could have seen at least a good view of dozens of kilometers, but now they are completely obscured by the overwhelming black. The sun, moonlight, and starlight cannot be shined in. The surroundings are dizzy and dark, and the eyes are dark.

Even the compass on the airship is twisting around at this moment, as if it is disturbed, making people unable to tell the difference between the east, west, south and north.

"The previous concealment was just to avoid people's eyes and ears, mainly to avoid being discovered by others." Victoria turned around and said quietly to Midie, "From now on, it will be considered a real spice route. And here is the periphery of the Great Storm Zone, which we call "Black Cloud Circle."

"Is the black cloud circle..." Midi repeated it, then nodded.

This is undoubtedly a very appropriate name, because the biggest feature of the black cloud circle is these dark clouds and airflow.

The original blue sky and white clouds were dyed into completely opposite colors for some reason. Not only that, they even produced a strong magnetic field disturbance, which made most of the methods of distinguishing directions lose their effect.

Once you enter the black cloud circle, the airship will immediately lose its direction, and then follow the chaotic airflow in it, it will continue to penetrate into the depths of the storm area. It will never be able to find a way out. You can only continue to wander until the magic power is completely exhausted and then fall to the sea of ​​clouds.

Even the various secret techniques of the awakened person cannot escape the disturbance of the magnetic field.

This is the most terrifying place in the Black Cloud Circle.

Since Victoria dared to come in, Midi concluded that she must have a way to identify the direction

In the previous life, this was one of the most important secrets of major forces. At that time, Midi had just become a commander and knew nothing about it.

In this life, as the first human adventurer qualified to enter the Black Cloud Circle, Midi is naturally curious about this.

I realized the inquiry in Midie's eyes, and Victoria did not hide anything, but made a gesture

Immediately, several personal guards solemnly carried out an extremely strong demon-sealing box from the captain's room. In it, a compass with a very classical look was placed.

The pointer of this compass pointed steadily to the north and was not affected by the magnetic storm in the black cloud area at all.

"This is a constant compass." Victoria explained generously, "The material and structure of this compass are extremely special, which can offset the influence of the magnetic field in the black cloud area, so that it can accurately indicate the direction. If it leaves the black cloud area, it will become chaotic due to its own characteristics. It can be said that it is a compass dedicated to the black cloud area."

"Excellent." Looking at the antique compass, Midi couldn't help but praise, "Using a magnetic field to offset the magnetic field, thus allowing the compass to restore its function. This is a conceivable idea that it cannot be achieved by the alchemist."

With Midi's vision, he was naturally very clear. Compared to this small compass, the person who made the compass was truly valuable. For a moment, he couldn't help but turn a thought in his mind - should he find a way to inquire about the alchemist?

But Midie's praise and expression made Victoria smile bitterly. She shook her head and said, "Mr. Blade misunderstood. This is just a copy. As for the authentic product, it is said that it was obtained by Rothschild's ancestors from the ancient crashed warships of the heavens. After research, they imitated the constant compass, which reduced their function much."

Midi was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

Yes, how can you find an alchemist?

If there is such a master of the same level as Norton, I must have heard of it in my previous life, such as "an alchemist who has made famous contributions to mankind's conquest of the Great Storm Zone", etc., but it is obvious that there has been no such rumor.

Nowadays, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce has such a compass, which can only be said to be due to luck and tireless efforts, but it is not the relationship between genius and talent.

"In any case, having a constant compass means having a 30% chance of crossing the storm zone." Victoria said, spreading out a new navigation chart, "The other 30% depends on this map."

This is an area map that is different from the entire navigation map, which only contains a large storm area. Although most areas are not marked, as if they are covered by black fog, there are some details connected to the route. Each turbulent stream, each floating island, and other details are all marked with extremely fine details.

There is no doubt that this map is the most important part of the Spice Road.

"And another surety is to rely on this light." Victoria suddenly smiled sly at Midie with a sly smile

The next moment, accompanied by her words, a searchlight with strong light was turned on. The light was like a fire and a torch, and the light was as sharp as a sharp sword. When she shone out, the dark clouds immediately faded away, and the dark vision expanded hundreds of meters away.

Despite the constant compass, after all, the narwhal is just like flying with his eyes closed. Once he encounters those floating and floating groups of empty rocks, or some other obstacles, he will still hit him head-on, and then the boat will be destroyed and the people will die.

With this searchlight, even if you encounter something while sailing, you can detect it first and then avoid it.

If the constant compass can indicate the general direction, then this searchlight will ensure safety within a small range.

When Midie saw the light, she immediately understood why Victoria had to give herself that meaningful smile.

The wick consumed by this lamp was actually made by Light Yinghua

Even Midi felt very distressed when he saw this rare material used to improve his strength.

However, I am afraid that Midi is the only one who feels distressed, because only he needs to refine the Yinghua of Light to upgrade. For ordinary adventurers, the Yinghua of Light is precious because it can be used as a source of pure light.

He barely suppressed the urge to rush up to remove the Yinghua wick of Light. Midi sighed deeply, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "The constant compass brings 30% of the guarantee, the spice route map is 30%, and the pure light is 10% of the total, so what about the remaining 30%?"

"That's all by luck." Victoria replied in a serious and resolute tone.

"Does 30% depend on luck?" Midi smiled slightly.

It's like being on the battlefield.

This genius commander couldn't help but have such thoughts.

No matter how you plan and how much preparation you make, once you really start the battle, there will eventually be various factors that will lead to accidents, and even miraculous reversals and turnovers.

There are ever-changing changes, and this is the most dangerous part of the battlefield. Even the famous general who wins every battle will not dare to assert that the next battle will definitely be his own victory.

And this is the charm of war.

And now, this three-pointer takes the risk of luck, isn’t it the same?

In the previous life, as the second-tier adventurer, Midi could only take the Falcon Group and follow the butts of the strong men, trying hard to accumulate strength bit by bit, and try hard to catch up with the powerful figures in front of him. But in this life, as the top adventurer, he was able to stand at the forefront of the times and explore areas that he had never personally explored in his previous life.

Just being able to see such a scenery is enough to compensate for all the efforts you have made.

Just treat this adventure as a real war.

Thinking of this, Midi said, "Maybe it's a bit arrogant to say that, but, the last three-point depends on luck, let me try to make up for it, if necessary."

Victoria was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, she showed a beautiful smile: "Then please Mr. Blade."

Shooting out a brilliant and sharp searchlight column, the Narwhal's speed did not decrease, and he flew firmly in a constant direction.

The voyage lasted for a full twelve hours, and soon, a floating island marked on the route map had already appeared in front of everyone.

This floating island is very small, even just a puffy rock, with an area of ​​only a few thousand square meters, so it is easy to avoid it.

However, the Narwhale not dodged, but instead took the initiative to lean on it. Under the skillful control skills of the old housekeeper Lunde, this large airship, which was 65 meters long, hovered accurately over the floating island, and then slowly weakened its power until it completely docked on the island.

Then, the crew quickly got off the airship, took out thick steel cables after another, and used tools such as pulleys and winches to fix the Narwhale on this floating island.

It was not long before the air started to vibrate slightly.

The next moment, black clouds like waves rolled in, setting off a violent storm like a knife cut.

If the Narwhale was still floating in the air at this moment, even if it was not torn to pieces, it would inevitably be blown away from its course by this irregular turbulence.

This is the second biggest threat to the Black Cloud Circle, the Black Sea Current.

The dark clouds prevent all vision from spying, the chaotic magnetic field makes the direction difficult to distinguish, and the terrifying Black Sea current is like a big hand mixing still water, causing all the airships sailing in the black cloud circle to deviate from the direction, or even be directly destroyed.

However, with the accumulation of hundreds of years of experience and bloody lessons from the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, today's spice routes have mature solutions to these three major threats.

Therefore, the success rate of crossing the storm area reached 70%.
