Cassano was right, Sherlock's emergency escape kit wasn't a ship at all.

It is four and a half meters long and two meters wide.

Even by a broad standard, this is still a sampan.

But the Mediterranean Sea is actually very different from the real sea, and when Wu Xin was the first mate, once the ship sailed through the Suez Canal, then the task of steering was completely his.

The captain was never at the helm in the Mediterranean.

Most of the captains of ocean-going ships always use this as a training ground for the first mate, and of course a good opportunity to be lazy.

So even if it's a sampan, it's enough to carry three people.

"Are you sure the entrance is here?" Sherlock's patience wasn't very bad, but after a few hours of perseverance, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing and what the hell are you doing?" ”

"Don't disturb him." Cassano didn't understand what Wu Xin was doing with that copper machine, but he felt that he could only trust Wu Xin at this time. "He's looking at the sun with his lenses! Don't you see that such an ingenious machine must be the work of the Lord of Flame, Your Majesty must be issuing an oracle through the sun. ”

'The Lord of the Flame can also deliver oracles to the world, and His elect will not be weakened like this. Sherlock pursed his lips inwardly.

However, he had to admit that the machinery in Wu Xin's hand was indeed very delicate, and his constant observation of the position of the sun and the sea horizon was also very professional, and this temperament would arouse the curiosity that all believers in the Lord of the End of Everything could not restrain themselves.

Wu Xin ignored them, and just continued to measure the latitude and longitude where he was through the sextant.

This device, worth a hundred fate points, is truly a masterpiece.

When Wu Xin wanted to exchange this thing, he was not very sure, because this masterpiece on the main plane had not yet been conceived, let alone manufactured, but fortunately, his idea alone was obviously effective.

The treasures he knows, Alpha can provide, of course, it is necessary to understand a certain extent, Wu Xin's understanding of the sextant is deep enough, as long as he is given enough time, even if there is no reincarnation world, he can make this thing, but the accuracy will definitely be a little worse, and it will take a lot of time, maybe several years.

For machine guns, Alpha offered a high price that made Wu Xin desperate.

For planes and aircraft carriers, Alpha is completely unresponsive.

However, despite the help of the sextant, Wu Xin was still facing a difficult situation, he was not determining the location of the island of Malta, but to find the temple and the exit of the mountain road behind the temple.

Even if the sextant is very accurate, it is still not an easy task to accurately measure such a small target.

However, for a veteran sailing like Wu Xin, this can still be overcome.

The real problem was that he didn't have a sextant when he was on a mission to the reincarnation world, he only determined the location through the sundial, which was not located on the secret dock, but in the very middle of the temple.

Wu Xin needs to adjust the error to lock the position, which is extremely difficult.

The swaying sampan and the clouds that often obscure the sun make this even more difficult.

After a few more hours of boring waiting, even Cassano was a little irritable, and although he coughed incessantly, he was still the main force responsible for maintaining the stability of the sampan, and by the way, he had to be on the lookout for possible enemies along the coastline, and the exhaustion and anxiety made him very stressed.

He wanted to ask questions several times, but when he saw Wu Xin's sweaty appearance, he still restrained himself, and even tried to restrain himself from coughing.

The sun was already approaching the middle of the sky, this was the sextant working in good condition, and Wu Xin still couldn't find the exit of the mountain road, he had to wonder, maybe the drow elves on this island didn't build that temple at all and arrange that retreat?

The island of Malta is too small as a country, but you really have to find a hole that can accommodate people, and it's just too big.

Wu Xin put down the sextant and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, Sherlock handed Wu Xin a water bladder and a piece of pizza in time.

In addition to water and food, he was carrying a large package that he had brought from the safe house.

"We live in a spherical world, and by looking at the angle between the sea level, we can know our precise position...... What a genius idea......... Who designed such a masterpiece, Magellan, Columbus or Albuquerque? ”

Wu Xin was slightly surprised by his words, and Sherlock realized the principle of the sextant in just a few hours.

Because of the thought of the principle of the sextant, Sherlock's confidence doubled, and his mental state was much better than just now.

"Can't it be that I thought of the principle of this treasure?" Wu Xin gave him a smile and then took a bite of the cake.

"Of course it can't be you, because it's not something that can be done by genius alone, it also requires long-term accumulation of navigational skills." Sherlock knew Wu Xin was joking.

"A true genius who conceived such a masterpiece." Wu Xin swallowed the cake with water, even if he had no appetite, he had to eat a little, low blood sugar will reduce people's judgment. "That man's wisdom makes the world look up."

"Not a few of them? Yes, they all seem to be a little worse. So who is that? Dias was too early and not accumulated enough, could it be Vasco da Gama? "He listed all the greatest navigators of his time, but Wu Xin always shook his head, and he tried again." Could it be the rising star Amerigo? He pointed out Columbus's mistakes, and he was also a great astronomer, and it should have been him! ”

Although he has completed the great achievement named after him in the New World, Amerigo is indeed not as good as that great power, Wu Xin still shook his head.

"It shouldn't be, even geniuses need enough nautical skills to think of this method, only a few of them." He tried a few more second-tier navigator and astronomer names, Wu Xin always smiled and shook his head, Sherlock's face showing doubt. "Is there another branch that is passing on knowledge, can you tell me if this person is a believer in the Lord of the End of All Things?"

He could not have imagined that it would take two hundred years for the new maritime empire to give birth to such a genius, and at that time, the experience of navigation would be spread enough through books, so that that genius could change the fate of all sailors and change the world's understanding of navigation in the back garden.

Looking at Sherlock, who was full of curiosity, Wu Xin responded to him with a smile: "Although there are indeed many smart people among you, not all geniuses are your parishioners. Unfortunately, I can't tell you who the man who lights up the world is. ’

Wu Xin's natural posture and everyone's current situation, Sherlock believed his answer, he understood that Wu Xin must be subject to some constraints.

"Is it really a gift from the Lord of Flames?" Sherlock didn't expect Wu Xin to answer, he took out his black notebook and began to record. "In any case, it's a great piece of knowledge, and it's worth a whole page."

Sherlock was fully engaged, and while recording, he exclaimed, "What a genius, genius, genius..............."

Cassano knew that Sherlock and Wu Xin were letting go of the pressure, so he kept silent and didn't interrupt their seemingly inopportune conversation.

Sherlock's questions were a bit excessive, and the knowledge contained in the sextant was so valuable that he shouldn't have asked so much.

But in the current situation, this conversation is just right to release Wu Xin's pressure.

Wu Xin drank more than half of the water in the water bladder, and at this time, the noon sun enveloped the coast.

Sir Isaac Newton was indeed the man who illuminated human civilization, and even in the era of GPS and Beidou systems, every senior seafarer had to learn how to use a sextant.

Computers can be wrong, programmers can be wrong, your eyes will be wrong, but the sun can't be wrong.

Wu Xin looked up at the sky............

Wait, only the sun can't be wrong.

Wu Xin suddenly thought of something, and he raised the sextant again.

"I see!"

"Haha!"

His laughter excited both Sherlock and Cassano.

Wu Xin pointed out a direction to Cassano, and he rowed hard without saying a word.

"Where?" Sherlock still couldn't see the entrance, he understood the principle of the sextant, and he didn't believe Wu Xin a little, this was obviously a kind of instrument that required long-term training to use, and it was definitely not something that a teenager could operate freely.

"Well, the times of the coastline and the Drow have changed, and the sea played a joke on us." Wu Xin had already found the answer, but he trusted his eyes too much.

Sherlock immediately understood: "You mean that entrance is ............. right now"

"Yes, there it is." Wu Xin's finger first pointed to the commanding height of the castle, which was used as the living room of the chief regiment commander and the tower of the defense command center.

Then he paddled down, eventually pointing to the rocky shoal below, full of reefs and turbulent undercurrents.

…………

"Say! Where is this heresy of Cassano! ”

When d'Artagnan had finished speaking, he poured a basin of cold water on Father Erlan's head.

"I am a servant of God, and you ........."

Father Ellan had finally woken up most of his wine, but he still didn't understand how things had come to this.

He was a noble priest of God, and he was tortured, and he was tortured in the temple of God.

The Attorney General of Siegel stormed the castle with a group of inhabitants of the island, and surrounded the garrison of the Italian and German knights and servants.

Their target is obviously not just the Cassano knights, but the entire Italian-speaking group.

The Spaniards were undecided.

The Seegal Attorney General used only a mob and a small number of henchmen, and most of the French knights did not directly participate in the siege, but only monitored the Spaniards.

The knights of the Spanish group watched the chaotic scene with a lot of discussions, and several young knights could not accept the actions of the French team, claiming that if they sit idly by now, this will also be their fate in the future, and strongly demanded immediate countermeasures.

But none of the high-ranking knights could make up their minds to a showdown with the French, after all, they had the emperor and his fleet behind them, and the Kingdom of Spain really wanted the Knights to be stable and harmonious.

The French actually met this need of the Spaniards.

"Servant of God? I think it's almost the same as the spy of the Mother of the Plague! If you are really God's servant, why didn't He open His mouth to save you? Behind d'Artagnan was the Crucifixion of the First Apostle of God, and Father Erlan asked himself in his heart.

Why, my Lord, my Father in heaven, why don't you come and save me?

The missing Cassano is not d'Artagnan's main concern, since he does not appear, he is absconding in fear of crime.

So d'Artagnan now wants to extend the victory: "Say, who else is a spy?!" ”

"We Italians are the most devout believers in God, and your accusations are baseless slander." Father Erlan gritted his teeth and did not surrender immediately. "Your torture of the priest is a grave crime punishable by sinking into ice water and being executed, and the true pope will not sit idly by."

D'Artagnan and his men were not afraid of his threats, and they covered his face with wet towels, relying on the confessions provided by Bursa and other "ironclad evidence", and the followers of Father Erlan, the mother of plagues, were decided.

"I can't breathe............. don't ..............."

Attorney General Siegel knew that his insistence was pointless, and he felt a little sympathy as he watched Father Erlan grow his mouth in vain under the towel.

He shook his head at his lover: "If he knew how desperate the attitude of the Chosen Pope would be, this time the Chief of the Mission also praised you, thanks to the fact that you contacted so many French cardinals for him, the Chosen Pope was able to suppress the cardinals of Spain and Austria in the Cardinals." ”

Meredi looked at the screaming Erlan with disdain: "Hmph. This idiot has been a priest for so many years and still doesn't understand the true teachings of His Majesty God, no wonder his ability has not advanced but regressed after so many years, and now he doesn't know if he can use the third-level divine technique. ”

"Hey........." Although it is not a group, but seeing his colleagues for so many years so miserable, Attorney General Siegel is actually not comfortable.

D'Artagnan unveiled the towel: "Quick move!" ”

"Oh God, O God............ Help me, why are you still ......... Not ............."

"God praises mercy and tolerance, but he values the rules of politics more than anything else." Meredi is indeed deeply rooted in the meaning of Ciric. "The loss of Rhode Island requires many people to take responsibility, and whoever can take advantage of the situation will be the most favored by God."

Seeing that her lover was still a little uncomfortable, Meredi patted him on the shoulder: "We took advantage of the Spanish need for the shield of the Knights, and reached a compromise with the True Chosen Pope, which is the most in line with God's will. ”

"The true Pope needs the support of our King and the Cardinal Archbishops of France, who will never forgive the shame of forcing him to pay reparations and apologize for the Habsburg army that conquered Rome ten years ago." Meredi's perennial presence in France not only increased her income, but also built up an extensive network of contacts that enabled the French-speaking group to ensure that the Roman Church would not interfere with the suffering of the Italian-speaking community.

Siegel nodded with difficulty.

"Bring him a towel!"

"Cultists!"

"Fill him!"

The crowd shouted wave after wave.

"Yes, yes, I was a believer in the Mother of Plagues twenty years ago, don't put on the towel anymore, I'll do all, I'll do everything." Under the pressure of the people, Father Erlan finally confessed his crimes.

"The priest is actually a heretic?!"

In the church, the onlookers let out a burst of exclamation,

Politically divided Italy was incapable of resisting France, and similarly, within the Order, the French group was always able to handle the Italian-speaking group.

"Yes, I was seduced by Cassano to degenerate into heresy, and his upline was the Venetian merchant Shylock."

"Yes, that Cesare Cibo is also a heretic, he was seduced by me."

In less than ten minutes of waterboarding, Father Erlan had given up completely, after all, he was pampered, even during the siege of Rhodes, he was able to get the best provisions, and he had never suffered greatly.

When d'Artagnan said a name, he recognized a name, and not only Wu Xin, but most of the knights of the Italian group also became followers of Talona, the Mother of Plagues.

There were also several knights from the German group, including the Dverrich knight who took Wu Xin to the island, who was also implicated.

Although many details of this operation were planned on an ad hoc basis, the overall plan was actually very complete, and Chief Iliadam had already received the acquiescence of the Italian backstage and the Pope before purging the Italian group.

And the German group, which does not have a strong backstage and has a black hand belief spread inside, is also their target.

Although Wu Xin is nominally a member of the English group, the English group is already the only one that exists on the island, and killing them all will make the connection between England and the Holy See more unstable, which is not in the interests of the Holy See, so although Delia and Seymour are worried, they are not directly implicated.

When Cassano was pushed to the position of captain of the garrison, the French made up their minds to purge the Italians, they were just waiting for an opportunity, and although Bursa did not know the inside story, she anticipated the struggle within the Order and provided this excuse.

"But this time, after all, there are a few excesses, in order to appease the Spaniards, the chief regiment will definitely take away your position as chief prosecutor and let you be the commander of the empty fleet." Meredi and Siegel certainly have to pay the price. "But don't worry, in two months, there will be new ships in the fleet."

"It's nothing, the fleet is always the most important force of the Knights." Siegel has figured out the score. "The position of chief prosecutor is originally a strong heir to the head of the general regiment, and I am so much older than the chief prosecutor, do I still expect to inherit him? It's good to give it to the up-and-comers, but our son has to get Cassano's place. ”

"Of course." Meilaidi was full of confidence, and even she couldn't suppress her smile when she talked about her son's future, "Maybe he can be the head of the regiment in the future?" ”

"Actually, the cardinal is not bad, after all, it is too dangerous to be in the Knights Hospitaller." Siegel smiled.

Unlike Kevent, who is eager for revenge, they don't care if Wu Xin and Cassano can escape, their main goal is never to kill them all, anyway, as long as they get what they want.

At this time, Father Erlan had already begun to consciously and voluntarily confess his crimes: "The fall of Rhodes Island is all because of our conspiracy, we have polluted food and water, and we want to collude with the Ottomans, if we are not making trouble, under the wise leadership of Chief Commander Eliadam and Chief Prosecutor Siegel, the great Knights Hospitaller will definitely be able to hold Rhodes." ”

A louder noise erupted from among the townspeople, and everyone cursed Ellan and Cassano, who had not yet joined the Knights Hospitaller.

There were a few young Spanish knights who had strongly demanded that the French be stopped, but they all showed blank expressions at this time.

The older Spanish knights, of course, knew that this was persecution, but they made eye contact with each other and felt that it seemed that this was not bad, and if the Italians were to bear the blame for losing Rhodes, it would also be beneficial to their reputation in the Kingdom of Spain.

It was the last weight, and the two priests in the Spanish group suddenly felt a palpitation and their divine grace dropped.

Correspondingly, in the church, the first apostle of the crucifixion suddenly released two purple rays of light from the eyes of Meredi.

Shrouded in purple light, Meredi couldn't suppress her ecstasy.

"You make it, you end it."

"You are the past and the future."

"Praise be to thee, my only Lord and my Father who is in heaven, and I will move thee, and make thy ways walk on the earth as I walk in heaven."

With her back to the cross, she raised her hands and shouted praises to God in a voice that pierced her soul.

With her voice, everyone present involuntarily knelt down.

Attorney General Siegel was slightly stunned, but quickly knelt down as well.

Cardinals often visit the island of Malta, and even the servants and townspeople have attended their Mass, but even the sermons of the cardinal are not as good as Meredi's at this time.

Everyone could feel her devotion and fanaticism, and everyone was drawn closer to Ciric by this emotion.

As she prayed in a high-pitched and poignant voice, the crowd began to bow and worship.

The Spanish priests present were unable to refrain from saluting with the crowd, knowing that the ceremony would greatly strengthen the faith of the Syric on the island of Malta, and would also give Meredi unrivalled strength and prestige.

However, in the middle of the ceremony, a miserable cry rushed into the castle.

"Kevent was killed, Kevent was killed by the followers of the Mother of Plagues............."

The son's name was joined by the word killed, and Meredi's praise came to an abrupt end, even though her body was filled with Ciric's divine power, which could not prevent her from feeling a convulsion from the bottom of her heart.

Bulsha and Giggs, who were lucky enough not to die, carried Kevant's body to the castle.

Seeing her appear, Delia, who had been confused by the situation, almost immediately understood most of the situation, and she cried out, "She's the infidel spy!" ”

Her voice was loud, but several of the French knights and apprentices had been on guard against the situation, and as soon as Delia shouted, they started to arrest people.

Delia was quickly subdued, and she didn't have time to get the attention of the crowd.

Undisturbed by this little episode, Bulsa could devote herself to the rest of the show, and she cried miserably: "Woo woo, Knight Keventer is trying to reassure the big merchants on the island that they should trust the Order and the Grand Master, but Cassano and Cesare suddenly rush in, kill Knight Kevint without saying a word, and then take the Sherlock away. ”

Touching their son's cold body, both Siegel and Meredi felt a sharp pain that was heart-rending.

"No......... No......... My son ............" Siegel was crushed, he no longer even hid the fact that Keventer was his illegitimate child, he lost the ability to think, and only held his son's corpse in pain.

Meredi didn't shed tears, but she looked at Bulsha with suspicion in her eyes, and there seemed to be a bit of madness in it.

Bulsa tried to restrain herself from trembling, and she toyed with everyone's applause, but she was never sure that she had deceived Melady.

This woman even received a special favor from Ciric!

Bulsa was not sure if she had used this woman to deplete the Knights Hospitaller's strength, or if this woman had used her to fight her political enemies.

She was really scared, and Meredi looked exactly the same way she did when her teacher made the decision.

However, the next moment, Bulsha regained a little self-confidence, what would her teacher do at this time?

Her teacher would never expose herself as an Ottoman spy because of her son's death, which would ruin everything for her and make it impossible for the French team to end.

And Bulsa believed that Meredi was at best doubting herself, and that she could not be sure of her identity.

Meredi finally spat out words that relieved Bursa from between her teeth: "Put these Italians under the control of the Spaniards, and we will go to the docks and any natural anchorage where we can, and we must catch these murderers of my son." ”

She said the verdict against Wu Xin: "I will pump their tendons and eat their flesh." ”

She never looked at Bursha again, and left the church resolutely, at this moment, Wu Xin was no longer a target to die or not.

Bulsa knew that if Wu Xin and them fell into her hands, they would really be gnawed alive, and of course she was too.
