Chapter 1: My journey is the sea of stars
"Our journey is the stars and the sea!"
When this sentence was set off from Oasis City, Lin Jue stood on the deck uncontrollably, imitating the head of state who stretched out his hand and looked at the blue ocean in front of him.
But now, he no longer has the same sharpness as when he first set off. Well, because people are going to die.
Originally, everything was planned, the fleet set off together, in order to avoid the Kraken entrenched in the northern ocean, along the coast to the east coast of the Yan Empire, and then resupply once in Splendid City, starting from Splendid City and following the ocean current, if possible, you can resupply on various islands on the way, and you can reach the largest human stronghold in the Eastern Continent, Dawning City, in a month and a half.
Of course, that was just a plan. As the saying goes, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
Everything was going on as planned, huh...... However, halfway through, in the center of the Dawn Sea (located in the center of the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent, where it was previously believed that the sun rises from the distant sea, this is where Dawn was born, so it is called the Dawn Sea), this fleet of transport ships encountered a storm.
Fortunately, the Daifuku ship was sturdy enough, and at the same time, under the command of Gloria, an experienced temporary fleet commander, there was no danger, and all the ships avoided danger and passed through the storm.
It seemed to be fine, but after the storm, the fleet was stunned, because the fleet had deviated from course and was forcibly dragged away by a stronger current.
As a result, it was originally planned that the Eastern Continent would be reached around September 10, 1327, in the unified calendar of the mainland. Now, September 20, there is still no shadow of land.
Now the biggest problem facing the fleet is the lack of water, the lack of fresh water, and no one has drunk water for a day. Although the Orlantes are a people who grew up in the desert, they can survive the disaster of water shortages for a little longer, because the situation is now clear to everyone, the fleet is lost, and the breath of despair has begun to permeate.
If there is no fresh water supply, it is still a trivial matter to die a handful of people, and now we have to face whether someone will take the lead in mutiny.
At the helmsman position of Lin Jue's flagship, Gloria took the helm and comforted Lin Jue with a sad face next to her: "Don't worry, we have gotten rid of the control of the ocean current, now as long as we drive due east, it won't be long before we can reach the land." ”
Lin Jue shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said bitterly: "To borrow your auspicious words, I feel that I am dying of thirst." ”
Looking at the sea level in front of him, Lin Jue couldn't tell where the sea was and where the sky was. Although there is a white line separating the two at the junction of the sea and the sky ahead, this white line is very blurred.
This is a very strange feeling, because it is not as clear as drawing a line with a pencil on a piece of paper, although it clearly separates the sea from the sky, as the ship continues to move forward, it makes people feel as if the heaven and earth are stretched out from that white line, this scene reminds Lin Jue of an allusion: Pangu opened the world.
Lin Jue thought of a joke he saw before he came to this world, this joke is a picture, it is in an online game, as for the name of the game Lin Jue does not remember, this picture is a screenshot of the chat history of the game world channel, on which a player posted such a sentence: "I am willing to exchange my ten years of life for Thor's hammer!"
Of course, Lin Jue didn't know this game, and he didn't know what Thor's Hammer was, maybe it was some kind of valuable game equipment, right? Maybe this player just jokingly posted such a sentence to liven up the atmosphere, which was regarded as giving up on his own character.
Of course, the point is not this, the point is that in the next second, the system message sends a broadcast to the whole game channel: the player has obtained the item "Thor's Hammer".
When he saw the news at that time, Lin Jue hadn't reacted to what this picture meant, so he continued to look down.
"Congratulations, congratulations. ”
“233......”
"It's a very costly wish. ”
"The gods have blessed you, and congratulations on making your wish come true. ”
"666666, this kind of operation can't be learned. ”
“......”
So Lin Jue browsed this chat screenshot again, he burst out laughing, he wanted to know, this player's mood when he really got this game prop, is it a look of confusion?
But the price of this wish is really big, ten years of life for a game prop, of course, Lin Jue knows very well that this is just a joke, but because it is too coincidental, so this joke has become a joke.
Gloria couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Jue lying on the side of the boat, and wondered, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Jue's pink-carved Xiao Lin Yue next to her was also curious, and she also wanted to know what made Lin Jue so happy.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I told you that you don't understand." ”
Jiang Quan in the distance glanced at this side and turned his head, staring at the sea in frustration.
"Alas, in this pessimistic situation, it's not bad to think of something funny once in a while, at least not too pessimistic. Lin Jue sighed secretly in his heart.
Looking at everyone's sad faces, Lin Jue was also very helpless. If it weren't for the coincidence of a storm, why would he suffer such a pain? Now he should be drinking tea on the Eastern Continent, being a contractor, and directing people to build colonies.
He now began to admire the navigators of the sailing era, and it was really not easy to endure loneliness, to go with the flow of the sea, and to open up routes that were not available before. Perseverance aside, luck is the most important thing.
After all, in the Eastern Continent, at the beginning, everyone knew that there was a continent in the East, no matter how you go, you can always reach it, and now the only thing that is uncertain is time. But in the era of great geographical discoveries, what lies ahead? Who knows?
The first Yan Empire navigator to discover the Eastern Continent, he was not sure that there would be such a continent ahead, so what was the reason why he was able to persevere? You must know that this road is not like now, there are supply points established by humans in places with fixed routes, and it is a miracle that he can last for nearly two months with only one supply from Splendid City.
"Maybe persistence is victory!" Lin Jue sighed and muttered.
Lin Jue suddenly opened his hands, hugged the sky, and shouted: "Oh my God, the gods of the ten directions, I am willing to use my ten years of life to let me see the land now!"
"Alas, crazy!" was the unanimous thought of all the people on the ship who heard Lin Jue's voice.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly, in fact, his mood was the same as the person who made a wish in the game, just a joke and bought psychological comfort by the way. If it succeeds...... No, how can it be successful? How else can there be such a coincidence in the world?
This is the standard flag in the plot of the novel. Jiang Quan muttered.
"Ding-ding-ding-" There was a sudden sound of a bell striking at the top of the mast, and everyone couldn't help but look up.
"Land! there's land ahead!" shouted a sailor at the top of the mast.
Hearing this, Lin Jue was instantly dumbfounded.
"I'll go, it's really fake, can you pit a little more?"
"Land, really land!" exclaimed from the rest of the ships.
The sailors around him instantly became excited, and while running loudly to deliver the news, many sailors bowed to Lin Jue and worshipped: "True God manifests! Thank you, Lord Lin, for letting us tide over the difficulties." ”
If Lin Jue was still very curious about the mood of the buddy who made a wish before, then now he is not curious at all, how can this be so coincidental? Could it be that the wish came true!?
In short, 10,000 alpacas rushed through Lin Jue's mind.
