"Elie Meow, aren't you going to eat it?"

Loria and Elie Meow share the food she carried, dry bread, but the latter takes two bites and then stops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'll leave it to you......" Elie 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, Elie Meow, who usually grabs the food, doesn't recognize her six relatives, and now she will give her the 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......"

Elie Meow's order 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 where it was—even in the most unfortunate case, it wouldn't take more than a week to get to land, and she was carrying enough food to sustain herself.

After Loria explained to Ellimeow, 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 serious mistake...... Once she left the earth, she became helpless.

"Humans, but they're very good at sailing...... Ever since our ancestors took the canoes that traveled south from Northrend, human navigation has been advancing...... Isn't it possible to look up at the sun and the stars to determine the direction, even if it's cloudy all the time......"

Loria pulled out a small plate from her bag, "What do you think this is?" 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, not precise enough, but enough to indicate the general direction.

After more than a month of boating on Lake Lordamere, it would be too inconsistent with Loria's character if she didn't prepare anything...... 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.

Not to mention ropes, knives, weapons, tools and food that can be easily stored, throwing away any unnecessary items, squeezing every inch of space in the tailor's pouch she carries, and bringing tools for determining position and direction.

Throw her anywhere in Azeroth where she can meet the minimum living conditions, and as long as she is not killed by the local creatures, she can hold out for a long time.

"It's almost noon."

As Elie Meow fiddled with the compass curiously, looking at the needle in the middle that always pointed in the same direction, Loria tossed her a pocket watch, "I'm in town to set the time, and when I say the time, you can write down the exact time." ”

"Oh......"

Despite her confusion, Loria's confident face infected Elie Meow, who 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 there be a little red dot to show where we are? ”

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-haired Loria smiled at Elie Meow and said, "It's another kind of magic, the magic of civilization." ”

As Loria had said, humans were far ahead of other races in seafaring technology (perhaps this claim that made her race proud automatically ignored the goblins), and there were as many ways to determine their location as far as the eye could see.

Loria finally took out a small wooden box, which she opened and took out a small knick-knack, a triangular frame made of sterling silver inlaid with many crystal lenses, a beautiful arc at the bottom, engraved with dense measurements, and at the top, a small monocular.

It cost her a lot of money to buy a seafaring artifact from an antique shop in the town, the sextant.

"Behold, the crystallization of human ingenuity! Shining in the sun, reflecting the brilliance of civilization! From now on, please call me Captain! ”

Loria had always loved these 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 made some advanced inventions - but Loria doesn't know that the sextant is 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.

Elie Meow asked, "What is this?" ”

Loria replied, "Instructions, of course. ”

The 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 approached noon, Loria had finally learned how to use her delicate gadget, and she adjusted her focus slightly according to the instructions, narrowed one eye, approached the monocular, 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 slightly outward, and every few minutes it seemed to be fine-tuned outward, until the sun in the lenses moved in the opposite direction, and she shouted, "Tell the time!" ”

"Eleven:57:32!"

Ellie Meow 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 well, First Officer Elie Meow."

Miss Loria was so satisfied that she put down her sextant and went to 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 and 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 all available, and their location can be clearly marked on the map.

Although not very precise, Loria and Elie Meow drifted to a distance of twenty nautical miles north of the island and twenty-seven nautical miles east of the island of Mystery.

"Twenty-nine squares plus twenty squares and then square...... Not...... Not...... Woo...... Approximately thirty-four? ”

Captain Loria's math skills were obviously not strong enough, she worked hard for a long time to calculate 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 of speed?" If you hurry up, you'll be back on 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! We'll be able to make it to dinner! ”

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! Let's go! Elie Meow First Mate! ”

Ay?

Elie Meow's 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 rippling slightly, and the wind swept through Loria's face, swaying her hair...... Captain Pink and her first mate looked at each other. (To be continued.) )
