Lightning, as the only professional with experience in going to sea, is duty-bound to act as a navigator.

In fact, she was also interested in this strangely shaped and strangely material barge.Although it looked very crude, as a ship, the parts that should be available, she could not be sure whether she could move.After all, she was mostly a spectator at sea, and her father always refused her request to take the helm or sail in person.

According to the tradition of the new ship, the lightning smashed a can of wheat wine on the bow of the ship and then ordered the sails.Carter, as a conductor, naturally did not want the little girl to take the position, so after she shouted, the knight would always make up the same order.

The sails of the town number are sewn out of animal skins, and the cowhide and sheepskin account for most of them, as well as some specialties of the border town, such as wolf skin and bear skin.Therefore, it looks like a different color, brown and white ash, like a rag full of patches.The sails are trapezoidal, with four wooden sticks separated as a beam in the middle, and the cable passes through the iron ring at the top of the mast and falls on the deck.As long as you pull the cable, you can raise the whole sail.

In order to make the operation as simple as possible, the two sails before and after the town number are single sails, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the center line.If the general brig sailing is so set, it will lead to a sail that eats very little wind, almost equivalent to losing its role.However, with Wendy's wind control ability, this design will make the power evenly distributed on both sides of the central line, which is more convenient for the rudder operation direction.

The lightning saw the sails, and commanded the workers on the land to untie the hemp rope.At this time, the weather is quite good, the sky occasionally has snowflakes falling, under the impetus of light wind and water flow, the boat slowly left the shore.

The little girl landed next to Brian and shouted, “Full of the rudder right!”

Carter also shouted, “Full rudder right!”

“What do you mean by the rudder right?”Brian scratched his head, “How many laps to the right?”

"No, turn to the left," said the lightning, holding his hand, "and then I'll come."

She forgot that these people were the first time they had sailed, and they did not understand the basic meaning of the instructions.If it is a standard brig, I am afraid that the sail is not even rolled out now.It is that such a dozen people can not, but also to make the stone ship smoothly offshore, can only say that the design of the town number is indeed unique.

She held the rudder wheel higher than herself, and her feet off the ground, spinning to one side—the huge horizontal rudder wheel was very heavy for ordinary women, and in the absence of mechanical help, it was equivalent to overcoming the resistance of the water to work, and wrenching the whole iron rudder surface under the boat.But all this is not a problem for the lightning that can fly.She noticed that the rudder was set up below the block to prevent turning his head, and was a little curious to hear that the ship was designed by His Royal Highness, why did he even know this detail?It is necessary to know that even sailors who stay at sea all the year round do not necessarily know the structure of the various parts of the ship.

"Sister Wendy, let's wind up."

Wendy stood on the roof of the shed crying and laughing, and his highness asked him whether he was afraid of heights because of this.Driving the boat?Thinking of the work they usually do, such as dried meat, blowing clothes, etc., suddenly produced a subtle contrast.She opened her hands and went into the state of practice on weekdays, allowing the wind to blow evenly from her feet and overhead, making the wind equivalent to the two sails as possible.

To be honest, Wendy did not expect this seemingly simple request to operate so difficult.

Although she had awakened to a witch fifteen years ago, she had never attempted to gain insight into and control her own power.Whether it is summoning a rapid airflow to wrap the stone to attack the enemy, or summoning a strong wind to sweep the enemy away, it is a lot of magic at once.When dealing with chores in the camp, the wind is also large and small, as long as the purpose can be achieved.Now thinking of Anna's serious appearance when she practiced, Wendy suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The first thing you need to do is practice your abilities over and over again until you have mastered it completely – just like Anna.

This is not a phrase.

So start now... She took a deep breath and focused all her attention on the sense of the wind.

Although the wind was not exactly balanced, the sails were still bulging, and the constant thrust made the mast creak, and the bow began to swing to the right.

“Really moved,” Carter lamented.

"Your Highness made the stone into a boat, and let it float on the water," Tikgu said with a scum, "what else could he not do?"

The town is getting farther and farther away from the riverbank, and gradually moves in the middle of the river.

Wendy can only produce wind out of thin air, but can not let the original north wind disappear, under the influence of two winds, the direction of the hull is not a straight line, must rely on the rudder to adjust.This lightning can not be clearly described, only for Brian to experience.In order to let him master this feeling as soon as possible, the little girl first commanded him to carry out several rudder changes, feel the relationship between the rotation angle of the rudder wheel and the swing of the bow, and then make further minor adjustments.

After more than half an hour on the Redwater River, Wendy could not hold it first.

It is not that the magic is exhausted, but that the body reaches its limit.

Even if the body is wrapped into a porch, it cannot completely resist the cold wind.Her cotton hat had a thin layer of snowflakes, her hands and feet were frozen and she was about to lose consciousness, and she stood on the roof and faltered.If the lightning hadn’t found something strange while the lightning was cruising through the air, perhaps she would have persisted until she had passed in a coma.

The lightning quickly flew over Wendy, clutching her body, and shouting to let Brian land.

The latter killed the rudder to the right, and the bow slowly deflected to the left.The lightning also flew down with Wendy, although on the deck can only blow to a sail, but at least can avoid the wind and cold, so as not to lose too quickly.And the landing of this kind of life, which requires fine regulation, lightning does not dare to be handed over to a newcomer who has just learned to take the helm to operate - although she is also unable to go anywhere.

After a tossing down, the town number finally came to the shore, and everyone's heart was raised at the moment of colliding with the river bank.The hull made a dull noise at the time of the impact, but it did not seem to be a big problem.A man quickly closed the sails and set up the shore on the board.

Fortunately, when the test voyage, people did not choose a straight line to the end, but turned around and practiced in the spaciousness of the river, so the town number did not leave the departure point too far.

Lightning flew straight toward the castle with Wendy on his back, and Carter sighed at the stone ship, and without the help of the witch, they did not want to drive the ship back to the dock.
