126 Logbook and Captain's Diary

The distance between Dawn and Phoenix is not close, but if you take a boat to travel between the two places, it will only take three or four days.

As soon as they arrived at the shoreline, the number of ships in this place began to increase, and unlike the coastline where you might not see a single ship in a day along the way, there were already more than a dozen ships cruising in this sea area before entering the dock. The pier in the distance and the vibrant silhouette of the city have not yet been revealed, and the first thing that catches your eye is the tree that stands out from the crowd.

As time passed, the Ice began to slowly sail into the docks.

Carrying the magic cannon, and those two boxes of shells, transporting cargo, transporting survivors, there is still a lot to do on this ship.

For several days, even though they had been carefully caring for the survivors, they still showed no signs of waking up.

Lin Jue naturally wouldn't stay here all the time, as soon as he sailed into the dock, he left with a large pile of information sorted out by Lin Yue, and walked straight to the Governor's Mansion.

The light in the Governor's Mansion was much brighter than the captain's room of the Ice and Snow, and Lin Jue did not place these materials in a categorical manner, but directly threw them aside, picked up the navigation chart, and spread it directly on the ground.

According to Lin Yue's translation of those large characters, one thing can be determined, the era of this map was at least six hundred years ago, and it was a map drawn in the Magic Empire.

Most of the big characters marked out are the names of continents, the names of the provinces of the Magic Empire, the names of the seas, and the gathering places of races other than humans, but these translations are transliterated by Lin Yue, and most of the meanings they represent are ambiguous, and it is not very accurate to refer to this map based on these translations.

Until now, Lin Jue has been amazed, that is, the advanced concept of this map, six hundred years ago, human beings have realized that the world they live in is spherical. Moreover, the people of that era actually knew much more about the world than the human beings now.

People only know that there is a continent in the east, but they don't know how big this continent is or what shape it is. On the other hand, the Magic Empire not only knows very well how big and shaped the central continent is located in the west, but even the map clearly depicts the northern tundra continent and the land that is completely unknown to the humans in the south.

Based on this map, as well as the routes that can be connected at both ends of the map, Lin Jue can basically determine that in the era when the Magic Empire still existed, human beings had already tried to sail around the world.

Putting aside this enigmatic map, Lin Jue let it lay flat on the ground, turned back to his desk, picked up the two notebooks and looked at them. Although he had seen it occasionally before, he hadn't looked carefully after all, and now that he was back here, he wanted to sort it out so that he could understand everything that had happened to the ship Salvation from these two notes.

Whether it's the captain's diary or the logbook, both notes are very thick, and if they are all translated, it is not so easy. Lin Yue had read it through, and the place he translated was only from the recent voyage, and the difficulty of translation had been reduced a lot.

November 15th

Sunny, soft wind, suitable climate, southerly wind, headwind, no currents

The three ships of the Angel, the Martyrdom and the Salvation were ordered by the Pope to form an ocean-going fleet, with the Angel as the flagship, and set sail from the port of Sevina, the Federation of Brandon, and the destination, the Misty Sea. Archbishop Wijnat accompanied the command, the purpose of which is unknown. (Logbook)

I'm Captain Salvation, Orna. We were given this assignment two months ago. Three months was plenty of time to organize my crew and prepare for the voyage, even if the destination was the misty sea of death. But I've never been a superstitious person, even though I work for the church.

As for the crew, it's very simple to deceive them, just hide the purpose, we are actually just going to the Eastern Continent to deliver goods, this is a regular business operation.

At least that's what I thought before I set sail, and before I set sail, a strange group of passengers came on board, and the sailors began to wonder about the purpose of the voyage. The passengers were all hiding in their hats, very mysterious. But this could not be concealed from the sharp-eyed sailors, and they found that the passengers looked like children all of them, not at all like sailors.

Even though they were all children, the sailors did not dare to give any opinions, because they found that all of them were magicians, and even the small ship of the Salvation had more than thirty masters, not to mention the other two ships.

Putting this aside, after all, the Sea of Mist may encounter some strange things, and with so many Masters in charge, I am also a lot more relieved. Up to now, the total number of crew and passengers on the Salvation has reached 212.

But there was one thing that upset me, the captain, that the archbishop had brought in six cannons! Yes, the artillery, two of them were brought up on one ship, and this was because our ship had no weapons? I, as the captain, was naturally responsible for this ship, and I had the duty to inspect whatever was delivered, and besides, it didn't look like rum.

The appearance of the cannon is very strange, I swear I have never seen such a strange-looking cannon in my life, but since it is an order of the archbishop, I naturally can't say anything. (Captain's Diary)

......

The rest of the information recorded in the logbook and the captain's diary was nothing important, Lin Jue naturally didn't pay attention to it, and skimmed it hastily until a week later, in the records of the past few days, there was undoubtedly a major event on this ship.

......

November 22nd

Cloudy, light wind, colder temperatures, southwest wind, headwinds, no currents

On the eighth day of this voyage, today's fleet just crossed the Tianya Strait between the Yan Empire and the Harappan Empire, and is about to enter the southern seas, and is expected to turn around tomorrow and sail to the southeast to the Yan Empire's Haijiang City for the last replenishment. (Logbook)

Everything is going smoothly, and the crew has already believed that these masters are just traveling with the ship, and I am afraid that I am the only one on the whole ship who does not think so. But there is no way but I can only try my best to help them hide the truth, as the captain of the church, this is what my duty requires.

As for the sea of mist, I naturally don't believe that there is such an evil place in this world. But most of the sailors had grown up listening to sea legends, and I still did not dare to tell them the purpose of the trip, and it would be bad if there was a mutiny.

Just today, I came to the officer's room in the stern, in order to entertain these masters, the officers have vacated this room, I have dinner with those masters, by the way, I have a few words, I know their origins.

They were all students of the National Academy of Magic in Brandon, and sure enough, they were all masters.

When I tentatively asked them about the purpose of their trip, they all kept silent, and it seemed that they either kept a secret about anything or had no purpose at all.

Come to think of it, if there is really some dangerous task to perform, isn't there a lot of magicians in the wizard club called the Wizards' Guild?

In this way, I have more confidence in the purpose of this trip, and to hell with the sea of mist.

However, I noticed one place where there were two large chests stacked in the rooms of these masters, and I am sure that these two chests definitely did not belong to the Salvation, at least until they were on board, and no one found out that there were still two such chests.

If it were a normal box, I wouldn't care, but these two boxes were very strange, because I saw a seal on it, and the seal had this line written on it:

High-risk strategic materials, used with caution, Department of Magical Affairs of the Federation of Brandon. (Captain's Diary)
