V2.Chapter 224

morning.

The fleet of dragon and lion mercenaries is sailing on the sea.

The bow of the ship was pounding the tide, and the white sails were full.

Looking from afar, the vast dark blue sea and light blue sky reflect each other. Under the wind of the sea, the sailors are relaxed and happy.

Good weather doesn't just bring good mood.

Sailing at sea means the most important thing - navigation safety.

Two mercenaries were standing on the side of the ship, and one of them threw a board.

The plank was tied by a rope and immediately slid aft after falling into the sea.

The rope was also pulled by the board and constantly released.

This rope is unusual. Many knots were tied in advance. The knots are equidistant, and the distance between them is 23 feet and 7.5 inches.

Another mercenary was holding an hourglass.

The time for the hourglass to completely dump is 14 seconds.

Soon, 14 seconds passed, and the hourglass was dumped.

The mercenary counted the number of nodes on the rope and found that there were 11 nodes, a little more distance.

With this data, they immediately ran to the captain's room and reported to the Dragon youth: "Captain, the current speed is 11 knots."

The Dragon boy nodded and asked them to step down.

He continued to bury himself in his desk.

On the desk, there are ordinary charts, ordinary compasses, star guiding plates, engraved rulers and other navigation equipment.

"11 knots..." the Dragon boy dipped some ink with a quill pen, calculated on parchment, and finally marked the position of the fleet and the current course on the ordinary chart.

The Dragon boy has been learning navigation for some time. Now he can skillfully use various test methods and tools, and the calculation speed and accuracy are greatly improved.

"Look at the right answer." The Dragon boy took out another map.

This is a magic prop - activity chart.

This was bought by the Dragon boy from the double eye Island auction.

As the activity chart unfolded, he saw the marks of his fleet moving forward like a snail in the sea.

No matter the course, speed and position, there is little difference from what he calculated.

"I should be qualified in sailing?" The Dragon boy smiled.

With the activity map, the fleet can see the key data such as position and heading at a glance, which is very convenient.

The compass in cangxu's hand is also very reliable and can mark all directions in real time, such as southeast, northwest and so on.

The deep sea monster fish is the most convenient, with its own activity map and three kinds of investigation methods. It is the most powerful investigation unit for survivors at present.

Magic and alchemy are the most advanced technologies in the world.

However, this does not mean that the basic sailing skills learned by dragon teenagers are useless.

Because in some special environments such as demon prohibition, these alchemical props will fail. Some hostile means will also interfere and mislead, and easily let the fleet into the ambush.

The navy of the Shengming empire was equipped with a moving chart as standard, but every measurement was still measured at the same time with basic navigation.

The Dragon boy put away the activity chart and began to eat breakfast.

Breakfast is very rich.

There are bread, milk, green vegetables and so on.

Because this is only the second day of sailing off the island.

The food on board is still fresh.

Over time, this situation will become worse.

Fresh vegetables are basically difficult to preserve.

Magic and alchemy provide many ways to preserve food. The most popular specialty is fertile flowerpots.

The soil in this flowerpot is very fertile, which can support the nutritional needs of vegetable planting for a long time.

Therefore, under the great strategy of the Empire invading the wild continent and the great development of navigation, the fertile soil sect has developed a wave.

The second is to create a cold environment and extend the shelf life of food. Some air conditioning arrays, frost arrays, some alchemical props refrigerators and freezers are all of this kind.

One of the alchemical products of the ice sculpture island that the dragon lion mercenary regiment plans to go to is the refrigerator and freezer. The effect has been highly praised by the market and is very popular. It is one of the bulk export commodities of the snow elf.

However, these two methods still cannot benefit the broadest number of seafarers.

There is only one reason - cost.

The cost of ordinary seagoing ships has to be spent on extraordinary seafarers, navigation equipment, ship maintenance and so on. Just enough food is enough.

In this regard, the cost of investment, equipped with fertile flowerpots, refrigerators and the like, the profit will be reduced.

The captain or the owner of the fleet would not choose this way.

The reason for this is that after sailing for a period of time, most sailors will face the strange smell of fresh water covered with moss, the dry peas they spit, and the dry bread with maggots after moisture and mildew. Sometimes, the mice caught at the bottom of the cabin are a rare delicacy for sailors.

It is worth mentioning that the ships that the survivors control openly and secretly have no such means of preservation.

Ordinary seagoing ships do not have such expensive facilities.

Iron knot and white bandage are ships of the mercenary regiment. They operate in the sea area near binocular Island, which is fundamentally not the positioning of the ocean.

Although the deep sea monster fish is up to the gold level, it doesn't.

The reason is simple.

Even if the war peddler used this ship to sail far away, he also brought fresh ingredients with him. As a legendary mage, you can get the freshest ingredients by making water out of thin air and hunting on the spot. You don't need them at all.

The Dragon boy finished his breakfast, walked out of the captain's room, went down the stairs, and came to the prayer room on the second deck.

This cabin was originally not used for prayer. Considering that the Dragon boy and Chi Lai are just believers, it was temporarily refitted.

This is a clear privilege.

There are only two believers who believe in the God of justice.

Most sailors believe in the God of the sea, the goddess of luck, the goddess of wealth, and so on.

Due to the lack of orthodox sea gods in the Shengming Empire, many Terran sailors believed in foreign sea gods.

In this extraordinary world, choosing the right gods to worship is an important measure to increase the probability of survival, which cannot be ignored.

Apart from this prayer room, the whole fleet has nothing else.

Sailors can only pray on the spot.

The only prayer room is only used by the Dragon boy and Chi Lai.

But no one complained or objected to this situation.

This is the world of the strong.

It is extremely natural for the strong to have privileges.

"Head." At the door of the prayer room stood Chi Lai, who had been waiting for a while.

The Dragon boy smiled at him, "sorry, it took a little time to calculate the course and position."

Chi Lai stood straight, full of military style: "waiting for Shangguan is the duty of subordinates."

They opened the door and walked into the prayer room.

In the middle of the prayer room, there is a statue of the God of justice.

The statue of God is half a person high and hangs in a large niche on the wall.

The statue depicts the image of the God of justice. He is a middle-aged man with a national face, tight lips, firm face, and looking ahead.

He was dressed in armor, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

They are justice armor, justice shield and justice sword, which are all artifacts of the God of justice.

In front of the niche is the altar, on which candlesticks are placed.

On the wall, the holy emblem of the righteous sect is depicted.

The sun came in through the porthole and was shining on the statue of justice, making the statue show a mighty breath.

Whether it is a statue or a sacred emblem, they are all ordinary objects, which have not been opened, and are all made temporarily.

"The conditions are limited, so we can only simplify everything." The Dragon boy sighed and said to Chi Lai, "we lack an excellent alchemist."

"The magic boat can't really transform a prayer room. The golden cannon is damaged and can't be repaired."

Chi Lai was very satisfied: "commander, it has been a rare treatment for me to have such an environment to pray in these years. I am already satisfied!"

"Let's have morning prayer together."

Dragon boy and Chi Lai knelt down slowly and knocked their knees on the cold wooden board.

If it is a wealth sect, believers will have cushions when kneeling. But the righteous sect advocates a more difficult atmosphere.

The young dragon man bowed his head, closed his eyes, and meditated in his heart, "God of justice, my Lord, you are a great God and a God worthy of praise."

"You uphold justice, are not afraid of power, and avenge the weak."

"Humble believers pray for your proclamation and advice. Please tell me how to walk the way of justice..."

Both of them prayed silently.

When Chi Lai finished his morning prayer, he found that the Dragon boy was still praying.

From his point of view, we can see the side face of the young dragon man, and we can see his frown tightly, and the way his lips move slightly when he meditates devoutly.

At this moment, Chi Lai's heart once again filled with a good impression of the Dragon boy.

The same belief makes Chi Lai feel close to the Dragon boy.

Although he joined the dragon and lion mercenary regiment later, as a slave, he has regarded the Dragon boy as his closest person in his heart.

He did not suspect that the Dragon boy was acting falsely in order to gain his loyalty.

Because there is no need.

In this world of universal belief, it is taboo to believe in another God for such a purpose.

It's too costly to do so.

Chi Lai also witnessed the performance of the Dragon boy in the scuffle on the double eye island. Seeing the Dragon boy fighting with the ear scraper, Chi Lai was shocked and let the latter admit the strength of the Dragon boy from the bottom of his heart.

Although the fighting spirit of mane GE has a golden luster and is regarded as a quasi gold level, in Chi Lai's eyes, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Dragon boy.

The only minus item is the identity of the young dragon man.

Shengming empire is the world's first powerful country. Its strongest strength makes the Terrans proud and generally despises other races.

Therefore, the intentions of dim pupil and beach desert are more inclined to the Terran Lion Flag than the Dragon suit.

However, Chi Lai was born at the bottom and framed by imperial dignitaries. The more hardships he experienced, the more he could break many stubbornness and prejudice.

This aspect has little impact on Chi Lai.

The prayer of the Dragon boy is finally over.

They got up slowly.

Chi Lai took the initiative to ask, "Captain, you seem to be confused. As a member of the church, I really want to help you, even if it may not solve the problem, insignificant."

For Chi Lai, it is rare to take the initiative to help.

He was treated as a slave trader and changed hands many times.

Although it was a short time to come to the Dragon youth, Chi Lai had a sense of belonging and wanted to help the young man in front of him.
