142. [Age of Discovery IV] An Unexpected Crossing
【((
Nan Xiao took a silver ingot out to watch it first. This is the standard treasury silver, cast into a large ingot, with a style at the bottom. After checking it, it was about a kilogram or more. Silver is not very valuable now, but ingots are different. As the town treasury silver of the Mengyuan Palace hundreds of years ago, it is considered a cultural relic, and its value has to be calculated separately.
The calligraphy and painting have been sealed under the water for hundreds of years, and the ink is still bright when opened. But after a little while, it seems to show signs of turning yellow and brittle. Nan Xiao hurriedly put them all into the space package. Inside is the dimensional space where time stands still, and it is absolutely fresh.
Kirisu Madon doesn't know anything about antiques, and he doesn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, but he likes those jewelry very much.
Sure enough, girls all over the world are the same, and they can't walk when they see jewelry.
"Xiao Nan, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" She picked up a gold necklace encrusted with rubies and gestured it over her chest.
It's beautiful indeed. The gold necklace is extremely delicately crafted, with each section in the shape of a lotus flower and inlaid with finely cut rubies, hundreds of them in all. The gold pendant is inlaid with a huge ruby, the size of a walnut, and the whole body is clear and crystal clear, which is really rare.
"Beautiful, a good match for the teacher."
"Hee-hee."
As soon as she turned around, she picked up another string of white jade bracelets. The bracelet is made up of sixteen mutton fat jade Buddhas, each of which is carved to life. Look at the luster, it was crystal clear, it must have been someone's love back then.
There is also a gold box filled with all kinds of rings and hairpins. There are jade, blood jade, white jade, gold, inlaid gold...... All kinds of things, the most exquisite and luxurious.
There is also a row of wooden shelves on which rows of daggers are placed. Each handle is inlaid with gold and jade, and the decoration is extravagant. When I pulled it out, it was a real Damascus steel that had long been lost. The pattern is amazingly beautiful, and the pattern steel of modern technology cannot be compared at all.
However, these are nothing.
When Nan Xiao inadvertently opened a vermilion locket, his breathing suddenly tightened.
In the box is a jade seal, pure white and flawless, warm and crystalline, engraved with five dragons and bonds, missing a corner next to it, and inlaid with gold.
This、This is the legendary jade seal?
Exaggeration, isn't it?
When Meng Yuan escaped from Dadu, he loaded the jade seal on the ship and wanted to send it to an overseas island to hide. That should make sense.
Anyway, now it's my collection.
Nan Xiao picked up the jade seal, and immediately felt a warm breath seeping into his palm. Not only that, but it also carries a wonderful suction, like a wind tunnel constantly pumping inward.
The long-lost system suddenly began to speak at this time: "Ding, the coordinates leading to the new plane have been detected. Do you want to go to a new plane, yes? no? If the host does not answer, it will be automatically determined as yes. 3, 2, 1, Start Transfer......"
Feed! This is too anxious
Nan Xiao wanted to object, but he couldn't refuse at all, and the system had already begun to teleport. The white light flashed in front of him, and the familiar feeling of dizziness returned. I had no choice but to accept the fait accompli.
…… Gradually, I was able to see my surroundings clearly.
It's still a vast ocean, endless waves. However, the Red Cossack was gone, and the clothes were gone! He lay on the waves, up and down with the waves, up and down.
Finished!
Almost all of the equipment is in the Space Pack from Stardew Valley. Nan Xiao has always carried it with him and never left him. Now I've been teleported naked, but what can I do?
It's not that there is nothing, there is something in his hand, warm and cool, the size of a walnut. Spread it out and take a look, it was indeed the heirloom jade seal. It's a good thing, but what can you do with it at this time?
Let's open the system panel first.
A quest hint appeared on the light blue light curtain:
You have entered the world of the Age of Discovery, IV Porto Estado.
This is the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, and you, Nan Xiao, were a merchant who traveled from Quanzhou to Hakata to trade. Unfortunately, you ran into a pirate and fell overboard. Luckily, you're very strong and can last a long time, even in the middle of the ocean.
Objective: Build your own fleet to dominate the Seven Seas and collect all the overlords' proofs.
P.S. You have obtained the certificate of the hegemon of East Asia, the heirloom jade seal of Qin Shi Huang.
Well, it's another difficult start, and I'm thrown into the world of the Age of Discovery with nothing.
Fortunately, now that he has full attributes, he can be regarded as a little superman. Although the sea water is absorbing heat all the time, there is no loss of temperature. If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would have been unable to maintain your body temperature and die a long time ago.
What now?
If it's night, it's fine, and at night, you can tell the direction by the stars.
But now it is daytime, and a round of daylight is in the sky, appearing and disappearing in the gaps of the clouds. There is not even an island around, and in the middle of the sea, there is no sign to discern the direction at all.
Nan Xiao thought for a moment and began to observe the position of the sun.
The Age of Discovery IV begins on January 1st, the season of which can roughly determine where the west is based on the height and direction of the sun's shift. He sniffed his fingers, held them in the air, and judged the direction of the wind. Well, the trade winds of this season should be northwesterly, which can also roughly support the judgment just now.
After deciding on the direction, Nan Xiao turned around and swam west.
He swam very fast, in a standard freestyle position, swinging his arms through the waves, splitting the waves along the way.
The super-fast speed even attracted a few dolphins. They surrounded Nan Xiao in a friendly manner, chirping and arching him with their heads from time to time, as if they wanted to swim with him for a while.
Kind intentions, Nan Xiao thought, you swim fast, but the direction is too arbitrary. Let you take it with you, and you will not know what year or month you will see the land.
I just swam and swam until it was dark. The dolphins finally circled around him a few times, barked a few times as if to say goodbye, and then left.
After dark, stars appear in the night sky. During this time at sea, Nan Xiao studied all kinds of nautical knowledge when he had nothing to do. He remembers the sky charts for each season and knows how to determine his position based on the position of the stars. This way, it will be easier to discern the direction.
At the moment, I am probably heading northwest, and if you stick to it, you will definitely be able to see the land.
With a 20-point physique, he didn't feel tired at all. The body, like a perpetual motion machine, has a constant flow of vitality.
He can even swim while sleeping, like a dolphin. In his dream, he saw a long golden beach, shining brightly. You can also hear the rumbling of the waves crashing on the shore. There were huge sailing ships sailing through the waves, and in his dreams he smelled the smell of tar and gunpowder smoke, and the smell of the wind was very familiar.
When I woke up, it was already early in the morning. The cold couldn't hurt him, but it still made him feel a little cold. After a soak of pee, he couldn't help but shiver.
Well, it seems that the energy consumption is a bit big, and I need to eat something.
