Chapter 16: Sextant

The beggar's eyes rolled, although he didn't know why the merchant in front of him wanted to pay for something that didn't belong to him, but what this man said really moved him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "I want 3000, no, I want 5000 ocean coins!" If you don't give it, I'll smash it! ”

A trace of anger appeared in Xu Feng's eyes, your sister, take advantage of the fire to rob? But in order to get the sextant, he could only hold back his anger, "Okay, this is 5,000 ocean coins, give it to you, you give me what you have in your hands!" Xu Feng coldly gave 5,000 ocean coins to the beggar.

The beggar took the money, stuffed the sextant into Xu Feng's hand, and ran away, for fear that Xu Feng's stupid hat would regret it, and even more afraid that those domestic slaves would kill him. But he was too worried, and the house slave's gaze shifted from him to Xu Feng at this time, it should be in Xu Feng's hands, "This adult, does what you said just now count?" ”

Xu Feng carefully touched the sextant in his hand and smiled, "Of course it counts!" Lead the way, I'll visit your master! ”

followed these house slaves to a mansion in Quanzhou Port, and saw that the original owner of the sextant turned out to be a beautiful woman. The servant whispered in the woman's ear, and then withdrew.

"There is a distinguished guest visiting, please redeem the slave's family has not been far away." When the woman saw Xu Feng, she bowed her head slightly to show respect.

Xu Feng clenched his fists with both hands, "Madame is so polite, how dare you bother Madame if you are just a trader in the lower place." It's a rash visit, a lot of rudeness, and I hope Haihan! ”

"Come from afar, you are a guest, and you don't need to be polite, please take a seat, come and watch tea."

Xu Feng clasped his fists again to show his gratitude. "I can't hide it, I came here this time, and I hope that Mrs. can cut love."

"Isn't the thing that Childe said about the Western thing?" The beautiful woman took a sip of tea.

Xu Feng put the sextant on the table next to him, "That's it." The real name of this thing is the sextant, which is made by the Western country of Portugal and is a necessary tool for navigation. He was a merchant who had to travel day and night in the vast sea for money, so he proposed to his wife to buy this thing, hoping that his wife would cut his love. ”

The woman's face remained unchanged, and after a long moment of contemplation, she said, "This thing is the object of the deceased husband's life, and it is also his favorite thing. Therefore, when the slave family learned that this item was stolen, they were extremely nervous and sent people to search for it. It stands to reason that this item is a relic of the deceased husband and should not be sold. However, if the son can promise the slave family one thing, why not give this thing to the childe! ”

"Madame, please speak!"

"To tell you the truth, the slave family also has a son under his knees, who is only 15 years old, who does not like to read and write, and only wants to go to sea, which is too much like his father. How can a woman in a slave family be assured to let him sail alone? Because of this, my mother and son almost turned against each other. I look at Gongzi's majestic and dignified appearance, I think he must not be a bad person, can I let the dog follow Gongzi to the sea and see the world? With the help of the son, the slave family can also rest assured. ”

Xu Feng was overjoyed, what's the matter? Giving up a wife and a child? Wrong! It's a treasure to sacrifice a son, such a good thing, if you don't agree, then there will be thunder and thunder? "If Ling Ai can endure the hardships of the sea, then Madame, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of Ling Ai in the future."

[Congratulations to players for encountering the Adventure Quest and obtaining an entourage.] An entourage is different from hiring a seafarer, so please be kind. Congratulations to the player for getting the sextant. 】

……

Boarding the ship again, Xu Feng felt refreshed, and his heart was indescribably comfortable. Even the unhappiness of losing money due to pirates has vanished. There's an old saying? Woe to you, blessing to rely on, blessing, woe to lurk. A loss may turn out to be a gain.

Regarding the entourage, Xu Feng had only heard of it in his previous life. There is a big difference between a retinue and a hired seafarer, the main point being that they are not paid. Of course, you have to give whatever the entourage wants to buy. Followers belong to high-level talents, have exclusive skills, can grow, and the most perverted point is that they can betray! In other words, if you abuse your entourage, it is possible that he will kill you directly. Of course, the chances of this happening are very small.

Xu Feng opened his attribute panel and found that there was an additional retinue option under the secret treasure:

Name: Bing Zhao

Level: 7

Experience: 5400/64000

Profession: Military general

Brawnness: 74

Mood: high

Exclusive skills: Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear, Snake Seven Probe Spear (Insufficient conditions, not opened)

Xu Feng sighed lightly after reading it? Hundreds of birds towards the phoenix gun? I feel like this name is very familiar! Zhao Bing? Could it be the descendants of that big man?

He called Zhao Bing, who was still looking around the ship and looked very excited, to him and asked, "Zhao Bing, do you know Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period?" ”

"Yes! He is my ancestor, and there is still his tablet in my ancestral hall! Captain, can I go inside the ship? ”

"Go ahead, be careful not to get hurt!" Xu Feng's heart was even more excited, wow! What a fortune! It's a big luck, the descendant of the martial god Zhao Zilong! Has this fairy sister appeared? Why did happiness come so suddenly? When he cultivates this little Zhao Zilong, won't he be invincible in white-knuckle battles in the future? You must be good to this little ancestor and tie him firmly to his boat.

Zhao Bing didn't know that the unscrupulous captain was calculating how to use him to fight the world in the future, and he was now curiously looking at the corners and corners of Xu Feng's small ship. It's not that he hasn't seen the world, but that his mother has been in charge of everything about the ship since he was a child, and never let himself come into contact with everything about the ship, saying that he is afraid that he will repeat his father's mistakes. Zhao Bing didn't know what his father's death had to do with the ship, but since he was a child, he had a special yearning for the sea, and everything he heard on the sea felt so attractive to him. Now my mother suddenly wanted to open up, and let herself go to sea, provided that she followed the captain, who was not much older than herself, and listened to him. For Zhao Bing, it is nothing to be able to leave the cage (Zhao Mansion) that locks him.

Xu Feng's small sailboat embarked on the route to Macao, Xu Feng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea level in the distance, and the ecstasy in his heart gradually faded into nothing.

"Zhao Bing, come here!"

"What's the matter, Captain?" Zhao Bing was watching the sailor maneuver the sails when he heard Xu Feng calling him.

"You're still young, you don't have to learn those hard work, your mother has entrusted you to me, I have to teach you something useful. So, I'll make you the first captain, and I'll give you some basic knowledge about ship management, and you'll learn to be in charge of the ship. Xu Feng looked like a serious elder, but in fact, his heart blossomed again, hehe! It's a lot more economical than paying for a co-captain yourself.

Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This is not very good, right?" I became a deputy captain when I first arrived, and everyone will definitely not be convinced! "What a lovely teenager. Uh~ silly cute.

Xu Feng waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll tell them that you are my younger brother!" Let them listen to you while I'm away, but you must learn how to sail, and you'll be in control of our ship's life!" ”

"Thank you, Captain! I'll do my best! ”

"Just call me big brother when no one is around!"

"Okay, big ~ big brother!"

A 15-year-old innocent boy was deceived into a thief ship and could never get off again.

……

In the captain's room, Zhao Bing was sitting precariously, like a student. And Xu Feng took out the sextant he got from Zhao Bing's mother and put it in front of Zhao Bing, "Do you know this?" ”

"Huh? Isn't this something in my father's study? How can it be here with Big Brother? Zhao Bing asked in surprise.

"It is a nautical instrument, so your mother delivered it to me with you. This object, called the sextant, is a tool for measuring latitude and longitude at sea. Today I'm going to teach you how to use this object to identify the position of the ship. ”

"Oh!" As soon as he heard that he wanted to learn knowledge, Zhao Bing's tone seemed to be a little perfunctory, and he couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

This is not good, if you don't teach this picked up brother to learn to sail, you won't be able to go offline with peace of mind, and you have to stop and go like the last 2 months, delaying time.

"Little brother, I know you love the sea, but do you know how important a sextant is to navigators?" Xu Feng induced, "When sailing along the route in the vast sea, you need to constantly determine the position of the ship to avoid unnecessary dangers. Especially when sailing at night, the view is blocked, and if you deviate from the course, you may run aground or get lost in the sea at any time. So knowing where you stand at all times is the most basic skill a navigator must master. ”

"Then big brother, what is latitude and longitude?" Zhao Bing began to get serious, since he likes the sea, there is no reason not to master this most basic thing.

"Latitude and longitude is the combined name of latitude and longitude to form a coordinate system. I'll give you a quick draw, this is our ...... Earth."

Xu Feng rubbed his waist that was starting to ache, this teacher is really not good, especially teaching an ancient child. Fortunately, Xiao Zhao Bing is still smart and likes sailing more, otherwise, he would not be able to do this great profession of being a teacher!

……

When the ship docked at the port of Macau, Xiao Zhao Bing could already smoothly measure the latitude and longitude and the comparison route map, Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his career as a teacher could finally be declared over, and his only apprentice could also be a teacher, and most importantly, Lao Tzu was finally liberated! Long live freedom!

"Let's go, little brother, big brother will take you to visit Macau and Hong Kong, and by the way, I will buy you a suit." Stopping the boat, Xu Feng couldn't wait to lead Zhao Bing off the boat. Before leaving, the sailors were given 100 sea coins, telling them to take turns to go to the city to relax after unloading.

This move immediately attracted the cheers of all the sailors, and it made Xiao Zhao Bing worship this big brother who suddenly appeared even more.
