Chapter 540: Astrology
Last night's strong wind and waves sent several ocean fishmen in the sea directly onto the ship, and they were found and killed by the sailors on board.
The bodies of these ocean fishmen were washed away by the waves, and the other oceanic fishmen in the sea naturally remembered this human ship, and after the wind and waves passed, the oceanic fishmen wanted to chisel through the bottom of the ship, but they didn't want the Flying Dragon Breaking Waves to be wrapped in iron sheets, and the inferior weapons of the ocean fishmen were simply not enough to chisel through the iron sheets.
The vast majority of ocean fishmen have given up revenge, after all, it is too normal for a few ocean fishmen to die in the vast sea.
However, there are still a small number of ocean fishmen who have a close friendship with those few ocean fishmen who were killed by human sailors, and when the wind and waves are calm, they climb into the boat to take revenge.
These ocean fishmen, after climbing onto the side of the ship, killed two ordinary people on the spot, and were found by the sailors on the mast who were setting sail.
After he jumped, he killed two Ocean Fishmen on the spot, and the other Ocean Fishmen let out a croaking and screaming of fear, and then jumped out of ship to escape.
……
"We must get out of here now, or there will be more and more fish-men in the ocean, and they will completely drown our ships." First mate Loria stopped arguing with Lucia and said with a serious face.
"But the navigator is dead." Vitruvius interjected.
"It doesn't matter, we still have the captain." First mate Loria and the sailors on deck all looked at Captain Winster with eager faces.
If there is anyone on a ship who can surpass the navigator in navigation, it must be the captain.
Captain Winster's face was full of joy and sorrow, and after a moment of silence, he stood in the navigator's position, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Sail, set sail." ”
……
It's night.
Captain Winster has a nautical chart in his left hand and a star chart in his right hand.
There is a compass in the middle, and the pointer on the compass clearly points to the southwest.
Captain Winster looked left and right, and there happened to be no one at this time, and he took out a book from his bosom, the title of which was impressively written, "Introduction to Astrological Observation".
Winster frowned on the books he studied, comparing the stars in the sky with the star charts around him, and he couldn't get started for a long time.
Suddenly.
With a flick of his hand, Captain Winster hid the "Introduction to Astrological Observation" into his sleeve.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." Captain Winster's ears heard Borfi's voice.
"Uncle, this time I made a mistake...... Winster just wanted to explain.
Borfi, pretending to be Cosling, raised his hand to stop him.
"How sure are you?"
Winster frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Although I really can't read the star map, it is absolutely impossible for the lateral movement of our ship to exceed thousands of miles overnight, Thanksgiving Island is so vast, I believe that as long as we follow the direction of the compass, we will be able to reach Thanksgiving Island within two months." ”
"Alright, Koslin, you go all out, if we are still adrift at sea in two months, then we can only abandon the mission and tear the teleportation scroll back to the Angles family."
"Yes, uncle."
The Coslin here was transformed by Borfi using human transfiguration, and the real Miss Coslin changed into Captain Winster and secretly got on the ship.
The two treacherous wanderers from the Angles family chatted for a while before drawing up their plans for the future.
The two of them had been prepared for everything, and they really couldn't teleport back to the human world, and then they threw this boatload of people into the sea, whether they were dead or alive.
……
Dressed as Cosling, Borfi returned to the cabin.
Miss Cosling, dressed as Captain Winster, was still flipping through the "Introduction to Astrological Observations", comparing the night sky tonight with the star map around her.
Rao is Coslin, smart and intelligent, and he also feels that his head is as big as a bucket in the vast sea of stars, and his face is sad.
Suddenly, there was another movement behind her.
Koslin thought it was his uncle Borfi coming again, but he wasn't too nervous.
However, she turned her head, only to find that it was Vitruvius.
Kosling flipped her hand slightly, facing down the introductory book she was flipping through, and then Koslin said to Vitruvius with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, why don't you rest so late. ”
Vitruvius did not answer Koslin's question, but looked at Koslin speechlessly.
The picture freezes here.
Vitruvius, the Grand Duke of Windmill Ridge, looked speechlessly at Winster, the captain of the Wyvern, who had changed his appearance with human transfiguration.
Half an hour later.
As soon as Vitruvius stretched out his hand, he turned the star map in front of the captain by 90 degrees.
Vitruvius then continued to look at Captain Kosling speechlessly.
The corners of Koslin's mouth twitched.
She knew that she was exposed, not because her identity as Winster was exposed, but because she didn't understand astrology at all, and she took all the astrological charts upside down, which couldn't be pretended at all.
Kosling tried to explain several times, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to continue.
"Don't say it, I know it all." Vitruvius spoke instead.
"You...... What do you know? "In the case of using human transfiguration, Cosling's voice is indistinguishable from that of a man.
"I know you don't know astrology, astrology can't work, navigation is naturally not good, you're a captain who pretended to be forced."
"I ......"
"Don't explain, I understand, in order to make a living."
Vitruvius had a look on his face.
He pulled a small jug of wine out of his bosom and threw it to Koslin.
Koslin could only pretend to be heroic and take a sip, and then Vitruvius took the jar and poured himself another sip.
"Only the sea of stars is eternal." Vitruvius looked up at the starry sky and put on an unfathomable gesture.
After a moment of emotion.
I saw Vitruvius pointing to the starry sky with one hand and the star map with the other, and chanted in a low voice: "There are two stars in the corner, the north and south lines are flat, and there is a flat road on the Amada, and the black stars are always connected......"
After Vitruvius finished singing a song, he was on the sidelines, smiling silently, it was really a generation of masters.
Could this Vitruvian really know astrology?
Captain Winster, who was also Cosling, had a straight eye, as if she couldn't believe it.
This guy is nothing short of a genius.
More than three years ago, he was still a little minion who was called by himself, and three years later he became the first grand duke with a territory, he was in the royal estate, rampage, killed the old king and escaped the pursuit of the archangel, and now he was tricked by himself into adventuring the open sea, and he actually knows astrology......
The astrological knowledge that Vitruvius said was actually just some of Magellan's words, and even some of the things that he couldn't remember were all made up by him.
And whether the star map Kosling was reversed or not, even Vitruvius didn't know, and few people really understood this kind of strange map.
Nima ...... It feels the same no matter which direction you go......
Vitruvius learned Magellan's movements, expressions, and tone of voice thoroughly.
Kosling didn't know astrology at all, and when he was bluffed by Vitruvius, he believed him on the spot.
As for what Vitruvius meant by all that astrological knowledge.
Groove ...... Vitruvius didn't understand it then, and of course he doesn't understand it now, but that doesn't mean he can't pretend to understand.
"Mr. Captain, do you understand?" After explaining the astrological knowledge carefully, Vitruvius asked Koslin with a deep face.
Koslin shook his head blankly.
