"Answer my question. www.biquge.info The bishop was almost out of his mind in anger, "Why south?"

"So I'm not going to let you meet the sailors. ”

"I know that to cross the ocean west you need to use the southern currents, listen, I'm asking you, you said the first thing you did was to go to the island to the west and get the charts, right?"

"That's none of your business. ”

"Science requires humility from the pious. ”

The bishop finally lost his patience completely, he raised his right hand, and a cloud of white light descended.

Francis let out a long sigh in this pure light.

"You have made a mistake, believers only need to be pious. ”

The voice distorted into a large, distant hum in the white light, like the speech of science itself.

The white light dissipated.

The bishop glanced at Francis with a complicated gaze, and then left without saying a word.

The room was silent again, except for the monotonous repetition of the sound of the waves.

Francis pressed his right hand against the globe on the side of the table.

Then the sound of gear clashing rang out.

It's like a symphony composed purely of the sound of gears, accompanied by music, and a grand drama plays out on the stage. Each actor follows their own trajectory and ends up stopping where they should be.

Then a vague chart appeared in front of Francis's eyes.

It was a map of the route cut and spliced together by the pattern on the globe, the terrain was rough, there was no route, just a half-finished product.

"At least five years before this world, Magellan ......"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Boss. ”

"Come in. ”

A tall man walked into the captain's cabin, his skin rough and dark in the sun and the sea breeze, covered in scars.

"Found a clue. ”

Say. ”

Francis still looked down at the charts.

"The Countess of New Taipei County went to this area a few months ago in search of something, and they put together a very detailed set of Haiwen materials. ”

Francis prepared an unfathomable smile on his face, and then he had to put it away for the time being, and hurriedly straighten the overturned chart so that the delicate little thing would not fall and fall to pieces.

"So you found it?"

"An eagle man is willing to come. ”

"Hawkman?"

Everyone knows that there are very few good sailors among such creatures as eaglemen, and they are not suitable for the ocean.

"He was a navigator on an airship for a long time. ”

"Huh?"

Francis was a little surprised, and then fell into deep thought.

Airships, which are the playthings of a few, and although almost everyone believes that they will be the means of transportation of the future, and that sailboats will be pushed into the garbage dump by airships, until now, people have crossed the ocean on ships.

And the crew of the airship is something that only exists in legends, and people don't even know if they will have a navigator or first mate like a sea ship.

"What can he do?"

"He said that when he was on an airship, the navigator was usually responsible for determining the bearing......

"Enough. ”

Francis knew that not only him, but all his crew did not want to wait any longer.

"Is he reliable?"

"Of course it's not reliable, the navigator on the airship is having a good day, and the devil knows why he came to the ship. "But he definitely doesn't want to see our plan fail." ”

"Enough. ”

In the environment they will be facing, there is little difference between an airship navigator and a seasoned seagoing navigator, and the latter may not necessarily do it better than the former in a completely new sea area that is too complex to be overwhelmed.

And—Francis told himself again—he didn't want to wait.

"Leave two reliable men to recruit sailors with the Holy See, and we will set out now. ”

"Got it. ”

......

There was still a long time before the morning court session, and a crowd had already gathered in the square in front of the courthouse.

"Good morning, Sherlock Holmes. ”

Magellan felt another breath in the crowd that did not belong to the hunters, and the members of the jury looked like they had become the same kind of people.

"I'm curious, what charges did you have in store for Professor Moriarty?"

"Plotting murder, threatening, robbery, stealing, and shielding and selling stolen goods." ”

"Did you find the evidence?"

"Nope. ”

Magellan laughed, and he was not surprised at all.

"Then why did Professor Moriarty suggest a trial to you, and why did the hunters look for me?"

"Because actually the professor did these things. ”

"How are you going to convince the jury?"

Holmes smiled, "Professor Moriarty will do it for you." ”

Magellan didn't say anything more, and the time for the trial had come.

The crowd was seated, and then the judge called the trial begins.

According to the predetermined procedure, at first, it was Sherlock Holmes's complaint.

Magellan knew what Holmes would say, so he was a little absent-minded, but he didn't expect most of the people on the jury to be like him.

People seemed to have lost all interest in the trial itself, and when Holmes uttered these serious allegations, the jury showed a certain excitement in addition to surprise.

It was a scene that surprised Magellan.

He was born in darkness and understood darkness, and Magellan knew that if this jury was what it was, then what the dark world was like now.

"Maybe the collapse of the dark world has really begun......"

Magellan told himself in his heart, but he wasn't prepared to do anything.

The Sherlock Holmes accusations are finally over.

Professor Moriarty was charged with a number of troublesome charges, and the judge himself seemed a little surprised, compared to the atmosphere in the jury bench.

It was a special trial arranged by the hunters, so the procedure of the trial was not strictly followed, and the accusations were followed by Professor Moriarty's plea.

"Defendant James Moriarty, do you admit that the accuser Sherlock Holmes charged you with planning and carrying out murder, threats, robbery, stealing, harboring criminals, and providing channels for the sale of stolen goods?"

"I admit it. ”

"So......" the judge's voice stopped abruptly as if he had been choked by the neck, and this was by no means the answer he expected, "are you sure?"

"I admit that what Holmes said is true. ”

A commotion swept through the courtroom like a tidal wave, and then, as if a pot of water had been boiled, the voices of the voices everywhere became a terrible mess.

But the chaos didn't get out of hand.

When the judge yelled "silence" and struck the hammer, he did not expect that with the help of the bailiffs, the courtroom would be quiet so quickly.

"I confess that what Mr. Holmes says is true. ”
