Chapter 1076 - A Sailor's Worry.

Landon listened to Javis and felt it unbelievable!

What the actual hell?!

Landon's forehead began sweating like crazy when a crazy image popped into his head.

F***!

Javis and Andrew at the side looked at Landon bitterly.

"Elder brother Landon... Why don't we take another route then."

Landon shook his head vigorously: "No! We need to get to your people as fast as possible before it's too late. And that's the shortest route. But don't worry, we'll get through it all just fine!"

Javis and Andrew looked at each other briefly before nodding their heads vigorously.

Yes. If Landon said they could, then they would definitely be able to do so!

With that, everyone in the room briefed a sigh from relief after getting Landon's response

It's been 2 days since they had just set sail and were now ready to iron out a few things that came up yet again.

That's right. Mitchen came along, ready to haul up all the prisoners he could.

Hahahhahahah!

Ahhh... He felt alive to be back out on a high-class mission again.

As for the problem at hand, it was indeed a serious one.

.

Firstly, it was important to note that they had gotten 2 distinctive maps.

The first was organized and given to them by those merchants who had ventured out of Pyno, going as far as Veinitta and Tenola before.

As for the second map, it was given by Lucia's team.

It was a map from Roma to as far as the waters around the continents of Zohl and Dania... that's all her people or the merchants there knew.

But even at that, because they experienced shipwrecks and all sorts of dangers when coming to Baymard, they had a lot of vital pieces of their map.

Landon didn't think it was a problem since he had the latitudinal and longitudinal map from the system in his brain.

But he had forgotten one crucial thing.

The modern type maps weren't as in-depth as the ones here... Or should he say they were missing something?

F***!

How could he have gotten that this was still another world with its own crazy creatures, which were typically enormous compared to those on earth?

That's right... Javis, who suddenly remembered vital information, instantly told them about the region called Devil's Gate!

.

What exactly was this Devil's Gate?

Well, it wasn't so much as the giant whirlpool or something like that.

No... It was more of the fact that millions of giant black sea creatures that looked like giant headless octopuses with thousand layered teeth all got to the surface, spreading miles away to do whatever it is they did.

These creatures were called Laypires!

And what made them scary was that an a.d.u.l.t warm was half the size of a regular wooden sailor ship.

So one could imagine how much force they had in them.

With one flick, and that ship would be going down.

Now picture a thousand of them?

And, the crazy thing was that these giant headless octopuses could climb on board and squeeze the sh.i.p.s, breaking them with their sheer strength.

Why they came out during the heart of winter was always a mystery to many, but Landon who had just gotten information from the system knew why.

Ah... So that's it!

Landon massaged his chin in understanding.

From what he gathered, sometime from February 18th to the end of the month, they formed a thick line across the waters, stretching for miles and miles.

And for years and centuries, they had done this same action repeatedly.

They didn't go any other place over the years, sticking to the same spots.

Why? Who knows...

Maybe the water there had something beneficial to them, or it was the marine life over there.

Hey. The ocean was something scary with several mysteries that no one might ever be able to solve.

So even though Landon knew why they came up to the surface, he didn't understand why they liked to form those specific lines, cutting people from either going towards or from Romain and Dania to the rest of the world.

Why they chose those locations, and neatly lined up there, was something they would never know.

Bottom line, it was mating time!

.

This situation reminded Landon of another weird situation that had also plagued scientists back on earth.

Back in Canada, in a place called Narcisse located in Manitoba... Every spring and autumn, the largest congregation of snakes ever recorded, can be found there.

During this period, tens of thousands of snakes come out from their holding spots and thick lines, weaving themselves together to form tapestries of themselves along an entire highway lane.

Of course, they were mating.

Now, people who have ever tried to disturb them didn't end up well.

And in this situation, he felt like it was the same.

These headless Octopuses called Laypires, were out here forming lines and mating.

But isn't that suicide?

Don't people know that when any creature, even man, is in high ecstasy, stopping them was asking to be killed?... Especially when these Laypires were in cloud 9.

So of course they would lash out when disturbed!

And that's why an uncountable number of sh.i.p.s had sunk deep below the seas around that period, giving the line the famous name... the Devil's Gates.

.

Making a mental note, Landon realized that maps here noted where all plague disasters or natural occurrences were, while the standard modern ones he was used to didn't.

Next time, he would have to get more information from the system and couldn't rely on just the longitudinal and latitudinal ones in his head.

Sometimes, Old school was the better option.

Thinking everything through, Landon instantly turned to his secretary hastily.

"Quickly! Get me the folder with travel schedules immediately!"

"Here you go, your majesty."

"Good... If we can pass the line before their mating period, then we'll be fine."

"Eh?... Your majesty, what mating period?"

"...I'll explain that later, for now... We have to fix this!

Hopefully, this is the only bizarre occurrence, right?..."
