Body poison, new Ruidu port.

This is the latest major achievement of the Explorers Guild, who have found the legendary Oriental paradise of the Heavens, where the fertile land flows with honey and milk flowing in the river, and where food grows if you sown seeds, and the home of spices, the body poison.

Magellan was warmly welcomed here, and the officials in charge of the port liked his archaeological writings, and the explorers in the harbor adored him.

Sitting on a low, two-storey building, you can see the coast in the distance through the window, and the noisy sound comes from the window with a sweaty stuffy heat.

But in the office of the port master, a basin of ice exudes a chill that is refreshing.

"Captain Columbus is still alive, but he was wounded on the shores of the Dragon Country, and is now recuperating in Brittany. ”

"That's great. ”

Magellan smiled, it was a bonus, but the main purpose of his coming here was not Columbus.

"The Countess left here a month ago, ah, that lord is a darling of science, and it is evident that she has found the great relics of an ancient civilization and is in a hurry to retrieve some incredible treasure. ”

The portmaster is a young knight with a son-in-law romance, and his superior family background and achievements here have fostered self-confidence, and he is a warm and approachable person.

"I'm in some trouble in the Land of Dragons," Magellan smiled helplessly, "I'm late." Originally, we were supposed to go north together. ”

"Don't worry, the countess has left you a letter, Professor Magellan, and I think you will know your destination from the inside. ”

The young jazz smiled and took out a letter from the cabinet on the side of his desk and handed it to Magellan.

"If those explorers knew that you were going to the same place, they would have pestered the countess to go with them. ”

Magellan smiled helplessly and took the envelope: "Thank you." ”

The envelope was sealed in red wax with the coat of arms of the Countess of New Taipei County, which did not appear to have been opened.

When opened, there was a piece of letter paper full of numbers, and Magellan looked at the numbers on the paper and smiled.

It was a password, but the countess had not agreed with him beforehand.

"I'm sorry," Magellan unfolded the letter to Sir "I may need a little time ......"

"Have a nice day. ”

Jazz laughed and sent Magellan out of the room.

......

For the number cipher of the Breton language, and even for all alphabetic language ciphers, there is a common way to decrypt it, that is, to calculate the frequency of the occurrence of letters, generally vowel letters with extra consonant letters, according to this principle, plus all adjustments, most of the answers can be obtained.

But Magellan failed.

The only conclusion is that this passage was not written in Bretanian.

Magellan sat in his stuffy room, looked up at the ceiling decorated in the local style, and laughed.

If this can unlock the code, then no one else in Magellan will be able to know what is written inside.

Magellan once spoke to the countess about a code that could never be cracked, and in short, a password built on top of a secret is the one that keeps a secret.

The password is in the language of the Dragon Kingdom.

In the entire Western world, including Poison and Brittany, there are very few people who know the script of the Dragon Country, and on top of that, the Countess and Magellan have a code template that only the two of them know.

It was a short essay that Magellan used to prove to the countess another possibility that the Chinese language of the dragon was different from the Mojia classics - concise and musical rhythms.

The amount of information in the essay is not destined to be a good codebook, but the information that the countess needs to convey is not long, so it should be enough.

Magellan converted the numbers in the letter into the words of the Dragon Kingdom according to the simplest of ciphers—two numbers to determine a word, a number of lines, and a number of columns—and then read them out from right to left.

"Nanapura. ”

That's a place name.

Magellan had already spent some time learning the local language of the poison before visiting the port master, where "Pula" is a common suffix used in place names to denote a place on the edge of a forest.

The Countess was always on the lookout for the gods, and here the gods were generally hidden in the forests, with the northernmost mountain known to the locals as the highest mountain they believed to be the abode of the gods.

Magellan felt that was the correct answer.

Then he let out a long sigh.

The problem is not here.

There was no need for the countess to leave such a password that only the two of them could understand, unless she ran into trouble.

There were no clues left in the letter, the handwriting, the paper, the ink, including the badge on the wax seal, were all things that only a countess would use.

A hint of foreboding flashed through Magellan's heart.

Originally, the countess had said that she would wait here until he came, but now it seems that something may have happened.

......

"I'm sorry, I didn't arrive when the countess came here, it was the previous supervisor who received him, we talked about the lady, after all, she is ......"

The young jazz smiled, and Magellan laughed with him.

The countess was a true lady and at the same time a nobleman of high status, in the circles of high society, almost always in the attention of everyone.

"I probably remember that she was in a hurry," said the look on Sizz's face, which did not look like a normal person trying to recall something, and it was evident that he, like the others, remembered the news about the Countess very well, "by the way, there was a student with him, presumably a student of the Royal Academy, very thin, like a middle school student. ”

That's Dontesse Edmond.

She was not in the countess's plans, and it was supposed to be a trip between the countess and Magellan.

All signs seemed to suggest that the countess was in trouble.

"He was a very hard worker, and Sir Cook liked him. ”

The young knight looked surprised.

"I'm so sorry, I wanted to stay here a few more days and now it looks like I have to leave. ”

"It's a pity, if I see the countess, say hello to her for me. ”

"I will. ”

After bidding farewell to the Director, Magellan left the docks alone and headed inland, taking a moment to shake off the explorers who had followed, and then walked into the nearest village.

This is a village in the middle of a rainforest, with the unique taste of a deep savage Chinese Ming island, and the villagers look calm as if they are sluggish, and even the outsider Magellan does not show much surprise.

Magellan's goal was possible, certain clues about the countess.
