Chapter 13 Maps

Arka stood on the deck, wearing a boatswain knife at his waist.

One hand is on the handle of the knife, and the other hand is placed on the side of the boat in front of him to face the sea breeze.

Observing everything on board.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and everything here was full of novelty for him.

After all, whether it is my previous life or my current self, it is the first time I have boarded such a large sailing ship.

The shape of the ship is not quite what Arka has seen in some of the films.

It doesn't look much like a Galen ship, but rather an earlier carrak.

The bow and stern towers of the ship are significantly higher than the middle deck, taking on a long concave shape.

Next to it, one after another, the ropes the thickness of the forearm stretched straight upwards, all the way to the fence.

Countless cables ran through the ship, chaotic and orderly.

On the main mast in the middle of the deck, huge sails of varying size are hung from bottom to top, swelling with the sea breeze.

There is also a secondary mast at the rear, which is almost identical except for a little shorter than the mainmast and a little smaller sail.

The arrangement of the mast and sails is more like the sails of the Galen ship.

Something strange.

Look at the sailors standing on the circular watchtower on the main fence several stories high.

With the slight swaying of the ship, Arka could already feel what it was feeling on the watchtower.

The sailors around looked at Alka, who seemed to be looking at everything as if it was novel, and couldn't help but shake their heads in amusement.

They seem to see their former selves again.

"It's interesting how to get on the ship for the first time."

Siggert walked over and stood next to Arka and said, the sailor knife he was holding earlier was pinned to his waist.

Arka looked at the snow-white spray of the ship's bow being torn open and nodded.

"It's a novelty indeed, I've never been on a galleon like this before."

Hearing this, Siggert smiled and patted Alka, and left.

Before leaving, he said: "There are still two or three days to reach the destination, and when you rest at night, it is the room that you just took you to." ”

Arka waved his hand and continued to experience the fresh life on the ship.

Look at the endless sea.

"That's interesting!"

…………

"Interesting?"

"Nope."

Alka leaned against the stern of the ship and said boredly.

On the first day, he was curious about the novel life on board, the endless sea and blue sky, and the fish swimming in the sea.

On the second day, I wasn't very interested, only the sea and the blue sky, nothing.

It's already the third day, and I've heard that the wind isn't very good, so I might have to arrive at my destination a day late.

And he no longer has a sense of novelty about this ship.

Except for other ships passing by several hundred meters from time to time.

Everything is so unchanged in the vast sea.

A day or two is fine, but if it were a little longer, then life on the ship would indeed be too boring.

It's a lot more boring than Arka imagined.

The entertainment between these sailors was too boring for the modern-day Arka.

He now spends most of his time practicing magic in his room.

and some techniques that can be used in battle.

TOEFL listened to the conversation between the two, walked over and said with a smile: "Haha, this is the sea, the powerful man of the sea, is to resist this kind of mental training, and the boring world is ready for the passion that will come at any time." ”

Arka didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Siggert thought of something and said, "This sea area has not been safe recently? ”

TOEFL nodded, and said with a serious face: "There have been pirates on this route recently, and several members of the homeland died some time ago. ”

Hearing this, Siggett's face couldn't help but become serious and nodded.

Homeland?

After TOEFL left, Arka hurriedly asked, "There are pirates in this area?" ”

"Where is there no pirates, they are like rats in the sea, they are everywhere, and they can't be cleaned up no matter how they are."

"What do you mean by being a member of the Homeland?"

Alka is more interested in this issue.

Hearing this, Siggert gave Arka a strange look.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at him, nodded himself again and said, "It's us, we're the people of Homeland Island." ”

Hearing this, Arka remembered that Golden Wheat Ear Island would still be called Homeland Island.

But why is it called Homeland Island?

Somewhat strange appellation.

At this time, Siggert patted Alka's shoulder and said, "The thing you asked me to help with yesterday has been done, let's go." ”

"Really, go fast, go fast."

Hearing this, Arka hurriedly urged.

So saying, the two entered the stern, where the captain's office was located, and stood outside and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A rough, neutral voice came.

It was the voice of Captain Halls.

The two pushed the door open.

This is the first time Arka has entered the captain's cabin of a sailing ship.

It's not as exaggerated as you think.

It was an ordinary room, relatively spacious, with simple furniture arranged around it, and a hanging picture hanging on the left wall of the captain's room.

Very simple dΓ©cor.

There are also three rows of simple bookcases next to it, with a wooden strip baffle in the middle of the bookcase to prevent books from falling out when they are bumped.

All the furniture and supplies were basically fixed.

The most conspicuous thing is the large solid wood table at the back of the middle of the house.

It looked a little cluttered, with various parchment scrolls on it, as well as some nautical tools.

Arka only knew one compass, and he didn't know much about the other tools.

There is also a huge map hanging on the wall at the back.

These maps are what he's here for.

Arka asked Siggert yesterday to help him take him to the captain's room to see some detailed maps.

He was interested in maps.

This kind of thing is usually only available in the captain's room.

Halls looked at the comer, smiled at Arka and said: "The treasure hunter is here, come and come, these maps can be read, just ask me if you don't understand, but I can't delay you." ”

"Otherwise, Marcy might screw my head off, hahaha!"

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Siggett said with a sideways glance beside him.

Hearing this, Hall walked over and patted him on the shoulder with some sympathy.

"You're her son, can you still not know?"

Hearing this, Siggett had to be silent.

Arka completely ignored the jokes of the two, and was already a little impatient, and went directly to the huge map on the wall behind him.

"Is this a map of the world?"

Hearing this, Hall hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this is the map of the Mharat homeland, also known as the North Homeland Sea." ”

"We're here now, this is Golden Wheat Ear Island, and this is where we're going."

He pointed to a point in the lower right side of the map, and the distance between the two points was not even two or three centimeters on the map, almost next to each other.

"What is the Blood Gold Alliance?"

The large area on the map where they are located is known as the "Blood Gold Alliance".

"The Blood Gold Alliance is an alliance of several important islands, and Golden Wheat Ears Island is also a member of it."

Arka nodded knowingly, which means that it is equivalent to the government of this area.

Coalition words, coalition government?

Then he wasn't interested in too much information, and he came to see the map, of course, to test his golden finger.

His treasure hunt system must be map-mediated.

He wanted to know how Goldfinger would perform on such a large, positively covered map.

You can't fill the entire map with dense points of light.

There are 4 points of light on a small Golden Wheat Ear Island, such a large sea area, countless islands, not to mention a series of treasures such as shipwrecks in the sea.

Thinking of this, Arka looked at the entire huge map, then blinked.

Immediately, there was a noticeable change on the map.

Hall and Siggett didn't notice it, and they couldn't see anything unusual, and they were still chatting with each other.
