Extraordinary Sailing

the next day.

Just barely regaining the ability to cast spells, Milan was dragged by Ivan to perform the divination again. I don't want to see Anita again like the first time, I just want to confirm her life and death now!

In the end, the scene of Hai Long rushing to the top of the city made Aiwen still have lingering fears. At this time, his expectations were not high at all. As long as his sister can live, it doesn't matter if he can't meet again temporarily.

"It must be all right! It must be all right!"

This time, there is no need to be as troublesome as when holding the "Moonlight Sending Spirit" ceremony, just put the crystal ball again and perform ordinary crystal ball divination. In fact, even if Milan still wanted to carry out that level of ritual, it would be impossible to recover from the spiritual turmoil within a few months.

As Milan concentrated on casting the spell, light and mist gradually emerged in the transparent crystal ball. This scene is a harbinger of successful divination!

Both pairs of eyes staring at the crystal ball widened at the same time.

but in the next moment

pooh-

Like a candle that was suddenly blown out, the light and mist disappeared instantly before being connected into pieces.

The two were taken aback, looked at each other, and saw each other's mouth wide open at the same time.

No success is not considered a failure. Both of them knew what this scene represented. Because half a year ago, before Aiwen set off for Newing Port, when he asked Milan, who was still a wizard apprentice, to divination, the same scene appeared.

"Milan, won't your power be returned to the wizard apprentice again?!"

Aiwen was a little dumbfounded. Didn't a divination ceremony yesterday degrade Milan's spiritual overdraft back to the apprentice level? This, his sin is too great.

"No, no!"

Milan also looked at his hands in disbelief, and repeatedly confirmed that he was still a "prophet" at the official wizard level. The spiritual decline is only temporary, it doesn't actually hurt the root.

There was no problem with the "divination" this time, and the spirituality of the crystal ball also gave me feedback, but because the power gap between myself and the divination object was too large, it was no longer enough to support the divination to continue.

"Could it be?"

The two spoke in unison:

"Big knight?!!!"

"It's a good time to go to sea,

let's go my boy,

The sails are set high,

you are a good boy

Come sail with us,

Let's ride the wind and waves together,

You're already a man,

You should have your own choice,

Once you decide, jump on deck

young man, don't dawdle

look at the sky

thick clouds are gathering

Johnny boy!

We were born for the storm

"

Listening to the cheerful singing of the crew, Aiwen stood on the bow of the ship wearing a captain's cloak and leaning on a sword, and the sea breeze made the hem of his clothes rattle.

The bow of the "Conch" pierced the sea. Today's wind and waves are a bit strong, and the water splashed and shattered into snow foam around him.

Regarding the divination that day, Aiwen failed to see the last scene where Anita killed Hai Long with the "Dragon Slaying Sword Siegfried" and bathed in the blood of Hai Long's heart.

Although it is inconceivable for my sister to be in such a dangerous situation, she is not only fine, but unexpectedly advanced to the Grand Knight.

But at this time, after all, it is thousands of miles away, so I can only let it go gently. At least I know that my sister is fine for the time being, and we will meet one day in the future.

As for letting go of everything now and setting off to the extremely dangerous misty sea in the New World, looking for her in the "Shipwreck Bay" full of vicious pirates?

Hehe, Ivan is not that reckless yet.

After assuming the new post, the "Conch" spent a few more days in the offshore area, and finally was able to leave the port and start Ai Wen's first mission as the captain.

There used to be Uncle Geer on the "Silver Wing", and an instructor at the Naval Academy to look after him. Now that he is really at sea, the only person he can rely on is himself.

Although it was just a simple task of cruising offshore and delivering mail packages, Aiwen put all his energy into it and made sure to do it neatly and beautifully without any accidents!

The same is true of the crew members under his command.

It was the first cruise mission with the new captain, and everyone wanted to perform well. After all, this captain holds the promotion channels and even the power of life and death for most people on board.

After going to sea until today.

The first cruising mission is almost over, and even the return journey is calm, it looks like it will be a relaxing and enjoyable journey.

After all, Aiwen has been serving on the "Silver Wing" before, and the "Silver Wing" with Geer's presence performs the most difficult tasks below the battleship level. Now that Aiwen left the "Silver Wing", he naturally felt relaxed performing the routine tasks of an ordinary Tier 6 ship.

At least now you won't run into a sea monster or be besieged by vicious pirates

After another routine inspection, Aiwen returned to his own independent captain's room.

No matter how low the level of the warship was, the living and working conditions of the captain on a warship could still be guaranteed, at least much better than on the "Silver Wing".

boom boom boom

"Cuckoo"

On the shelf by the porthole, the snow-white owl Bess tilted his head and looked curiously at the door. After becoming the captain, Ivan arranged a separate place for his "pet" in the captain's room openly and aboveboard.

After all, after going out to sea with the ship, letting an owl fly in the sea with those seabirds is really embarrassing for it.

"Come in!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, I have brought the nautical chart, do you need me to report to you about the upcoming voyage?"

The door opened, and the person who came in was Adrian, the navigator of the "Conch".

This is a taciturn middle-aged man with flaxen curly hair and a weathered face. His years of sailing career have allowed him to accumulate a certain amount of experience. He is not outstanding but not unqualified.

The appearance is ordinary, the character is ordinary, and the ability is also ordinary. In short, he is an "ordinary" person who is hard to impress.

After all, most of his life was wasted on the sixth-class ship, and no amount of pride and ambition had been wiped away. At this age, it is difficult to have enough heart and perseverance to hone his skills and break through himself like a young man.

Perhaps it is his greatest pursuit to survive the rank of captain of the navy until retirement.

However, Aiwen is not demanding on him for the time being. After all, he has just taken office, and many things still need to be straightened out step by step.

With Alvin's permission.

Adrian walked to the desk and unfolded the chart in his hand, respectfully said:

"Look, Captain! 'Kampalan', 'Tulst', and 'Weskel', these three cities are connected together on the return route of our cruise, and the voyage will take about two and a half days.

The last stop is a small fishing town "Leopold" for a short stop, and then sail along the winding coastline, and it will not take two days to return to "Gabred". "

"Leopold?" A name that was so familiar that it was almost engraved in flesh and blood made Ivan pause slightly.

Listening to Adrian's introduction, he has already set his sights on the nautical chart unfolded on the table. As an excellent graduate of the Royal Naval Academy, it is impossible for Ivan, who has reached the proficient level of "navigation knowledge", to understand the nautical chart. picture.

This is a typical Portland-type nautical chart, created and perfected by St. Portland, the patron of the "Goddess of Kingship and Navigation".

Nautical charts are full of radial bearing lines, and it is relatively convenient for navigators to determine their own bearing on known oceans only by using these bearing lines and the compass.

The content marked above mainly includes: shore shape, islands, reefs, water depth, navigation marks, lighthouses, supply points, habitats of dangerous marine organisms, etc.

With a nautical chart, ships on the sea can accurately determine their course, find a suitable supply point, avoid straying into the habitat of extraordinary creatures, and are not easy to run aground on hidden reefs. It is one of the essential hardware for sailing in this era.

Of course.

If you're an adventurer brave enough to explore uncharted waters, you can take that for granted.

As a rigid need of the maritime industry, drawing an accurate nautical chart also requires a huge cost of manpower, material resources and time, which is not something that small forces can do easily, so the value is naturally very high.

ps: The song is from Johnny Boy (Santiano)

Siegfried is an invulnerable hero bathed in dragon's blood in "The Ring of the Nibelungen". After seeing Anita bathed in dragon's blood in the last chapter, no one thinks about it?
