Chapter 719: 229. Shadow of the Mermaid_2
This technique to transform one’s body into a liquid, Noland learned from Selena, is a magic taught by the Deep Sea Branch and is called the “Liquid Transformation Technique,” which is applicable to both Water Clan and Deep Sea System magics.
When turning into a liquid, the body part would retain its normal sense of touch and could even split from one water stream into several.
Each water stream would be able to flow into different pipelines while still retaining their sense of touch.
After becoming proficient, one could use the liquid transformed hand with more than ten water streams to simultaneously control more than ten magical devices on the magic yacht, just as Hadley Grant does now.
Hadley used his liquid palms to close the yacht’s ventilation and drainage holes, open the inlet for the water tank on the lower deck, and activate the magic circle that poured freshwater into the tank.
The weight of the magic yacht quickly increased, its volume remained unchanged, the hull slowly sank, the waterline rose, and the corrosive sea water submerged more of the vessel’s body.
At this moment, only two transparent glass windows existed in the control room, while the rest of the glass in the other cabins were covered by thick magic metal plates.
Before the seawater flooded the windows of the control room, the pressure inside the cabin gradually increased, to maintain an equal inner and outer pressure in the ship and reduce the burden on the armor and structural reinforcements.
As the last ray of light outside the window was blocked by the dark green sea water, the magic yacht completely sank beneath the sea surface and became a submarine.
About 5 minutes later, Hadley closed the water tank inlet with his liquid palm, and the magic yacht stopped sinking.
The nautical instrument on the magic helm showed that Noland was now 10 meters underwater.
“The magic yacht’s submersion is complete, Jarvis.”
Hadley adjusted the magical engine to a silent state, turned off most of the magical devices on the ship, and only left the magic circle controlling the cabin doors and lighting equipment.
“When we enter the Blue Cave, there will be no one on the ship. If I park the ship underwater, not only can I hide from those with malicious intentions, but also avoid most marine disasters. This is the experience I’ve gained from sailing alone for many years.”
After checking the dashboard on the control console and confirming everything was normal, he waved at Noland:
“Come on, let’s go to the stern. There’s a pressure cabin specially designed to adapt to water pressure. I will teach you how to dive there.”
Noland followed him to the stern.
As a deep-sea wizard, Hadley mastered the spells needed for diving and didn’t need any special diving suits or masks.
As for Noland, a Death Clan Wizard, as long as he cast the “Breath of the Dead” and turned into a skeleton, he could avoid the trouble of breathing altogether.
One of the difficulties he faced was water pressure.
The skeleton form of Noland could still feel the pressure underwater.
