"Emeow, don't you want to eat?"

    Loria and Elie Meow share the food she carried, dry bread, but the latter takes two bites and then stops eating.

    "I'll leave it to you......" Ellie Meow handed the bread back to Loria, her head bowed, as if she was on her mind, "I don't really need food to survive anyway." ”

    "What's wrong with you?"

    Loria is very strange, Ai Meow, who usually grabs food, doesn't recognize her six relatives, and now she will give her food?

    "You're going to starve...... We get lost, and you're going to starve to death on the lake...... After all, I will only be left alone, imprisoned in this boat forever, floating on this lake forever......"

    Ely's meow is out of order, and she has been away from the earth for too long, and she has become pessimistic and strange.

    "What are you thinking, stupid. ”

    Loria laughed, they weren't lost in the sea, no matter how vast Lake Lordamere was, it wouldn't take long to row in one direction even if she didn't know the exact location—even in the most unfortunate case, it wouldn't take more than a week to get to land, and the food she was carrying was enough to sustain.

    After Loria explained to Elie Meow, the latter still asked suspiciously, "You don't know where you are, and you can't be sure of the direction...... The lake does have a boundary, but what if you keep going around and around it?"

    Since they met, Elie Meow has never been to the sea, and she has made a very strict mistake...... Once she left the earth, she became helpless.

    "Human, but very good at sailing...... Ever since our ancestors took the canoes that traveled south from Northrend, human navigation has been advancing...... Wouldn't it be better to look up at the sun and the stars to determine the direction or something? Even if it's cloudy all the time......"

    Loria pulled out a small plate from her bag, "What do you see this? I had the tools ready, but I didn't expect them to be used one day." ”

    She held a small, homemade compass in her hand, which was not precise enough, but it was enough to indicate the general direction.

    After more than a month of boating on Lake Lordanmere. If you don't prepare anything, it won't be in line with Loria's character...... Since the experience of being stranded in the delta of the Avaris River, Loria has become Lori with a complete set of survival tools with her.

    Ropes, knives, weapons, tools and food for easy storage, throwing away any unnecessary items, squeezing every inch of space in the tailor's pouch, and bringing tools for determining position and direction.

    Throw her anywhere in Azeroth where you can meet the minimum living conditions, as long as you don't get killed by the local creatures. She was able to hold on tenaciously for a long time.

    " It's almost noon. ”

    As Elie meow curiously fiddled with the compass and looked at the needle in the middle, which always pointed in the same direction, Loria threw her a pocket watch, "I'm in town to set the time, and when I say the time." You write down the exact time. ”

    "Oh......"

    Despite being confused, Loria's confident face still infected Elie Meow, and she nodded honestly and didn't ask why...... When she saw Loria pull out another map marked with a strange grid and spread it out in the cabin to look at it, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this a magic map, will it show where we are with a little red dot?"

    The magic map that Elie Meow said does exist in the world, but it is so precious that Loria has no way to get it...... Pink Loria smiled at Elemmeow and said, "It's another kind of magic." Magic called Civilization. ”

    As Loria said, humans are far ahead of other races in seafaring technology (perhaps this statement that makes her race proud automatically ignores goblins) on the endless waters. You need to know how much you want to determine the location.

    Loria finally took out a small wooden box, she opened the box, and took out a delicately made gadget from inside, a triangular frame made of sterling silver inlaid with many crystal lenses, and the bottom was a beautiful arc, which was engraved with dense measurements. At the top, there is a small telescope.

    It cost her a lot of money. A nautical artifact bought from an antique shop in the town - the sextant.

    "Look, the crystallization of human ingenuity! From now on, please call me Captain!"

    Loria has always liked these delicate little things, but Elie Meow pouted...... Isn't it shiny because it's made of sterling silver?

    Humans who have been technologically crushed by gnomes from start to finish have occasionally had some advanced inventions - but Loria didn't know that the sextant was not a unique human invention...... Rumor has it that the Naga who live in the sea almost always have a sextant, and if you kill a Naga, you might be able to find one of them.

     Leaving aside the boring question of which race is smarter, the sextant is indeed a useful tool...... Loria pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the box and browsed it.

    Emeth asked, "What is this?"

    Loria replied: "Of course, it's the manual. ”

    Sextant is a useful tool, but Miss Loria doesn't know how to use it.

    Elie smacked her lips bitterly, and her pink-haired friend, who had just looked confident, suddenly became unreliable.

    ……

    As it was close to noon, Loria finally learned how to use the delicate gadget in her hand, she adjusted the focus slightly according to the instructions, squinted one eye, leaned closer to the telescope, and leaned back to point it at the sun.

    "Anyway, wouldn't it be nice to see the sun and the water level at the same time......" Loria adjusted the knob outwards slightly, and every few minutes she tweaked it outward, until the sun in the lenses moved in the opposite direction, and she shouted, "Tell the time!"

    "Eleven fifty-seven minutes thirty-two seconds!"

    Elysa was frightened, but she still reported the time, and thinking of Loria's request, she added, "Eleven fifty-seven minutes thirty-two seconds, captain!"

    "Very good, Elie Meow first mate. ”

    Miss Loria was so satisfied that she put down her sextant and read the degrees on the dial, "Thirty-seven degrees and three minutes......"

    She used a pencil to mark a dot on the map marked with latitude, longitude and scale, and muttered to the table on the side of the map, "Noon is two minutes and twenty-eight seconds earlier...... Well, we drifted twenty-seven nautical miles to the east, which translates to longitude...... I looked and found it. ”

      The horizontal and vertical coordinates are complete, and their location can be clearly marked on the map.

    Although not quite exact, Loria and Elie Meow drifted to a distance of twenty nautical miles north and twenty-seven nautical miles east of Mystery Island.

    "Twenty-nine squared plus twenty squared...... Not...... Not...... Woo...... Approximately thirty-four?"

    Captain Loria's math skills were obviously not strong enough, she struggled for a long time to figure out an approximate number, looked at the map, now that she knew the course and distance, it was a simple matter to go home, "I can probably row four knots, if I am a little faster, I can return to the island in eight hours." ”

    approximately, probably, slightly, if the captain of a ship sailing on the sea utters these three words one after another, everyone will not be far from death.

    "Eight hours? Captain Loria!

    Although it is a flawed valuation, it does not affect the simple first mate who is more unreliable than the captain.

    "That's it, sail southwest!

    Hey?

    Ai Meow first mate tilted her head, how to start?

    The small wooden boat had no sails, and the only oar was lost in the storm.

    The breeze swept the surface of the lake, the water rippled slightly, and the wind swept through Loria's face, wiggling her hair...... Captain Pink and her first mate looked at each other. (To be continued)
