Chapter 492: Church Death Squad
Chapter 492 [Church Death Squad]
Chen Daolin sat in the cabin.
The cabins are located at the highest point of the boat, and the windows and doors are open to provide unobstructed views over the water.
Chen Daolin's side, Sasha was looking at her new teacher with a sad face, and when she saw that the wine glass in front of Chen Daolin was empty, she hurriedly brought the wine jug and filled it up for him.
"Teacher, you've been sitting here for almost an hour. Sasha shrunk her neck: "Is this scenery so beautiful?"
Chen Daolin glanced at her and said lightly, "It's cold?"
"It's been a few months, and whoever opens the window in the middle of the night is blowing cold wind. Sasha complained, "It's on the river again." ”
Chen Daolin was about to say something when he heard footsteps outside, and McQueen and Lucius walked in one after the other.
McQueen turned around and closed the door, which made Sasha's face smile, but the necromancer didn't look at Sasha, but walked in front of Chen Daolin and said in a low voice, "Teacher, those church people are resting in the cabin on the ground floor. ”
Chen Daolin smiled and looked at McQueen and Lucius: "What about what I told you?"
"It's done. McQueen replied immediately, but his face was a little confused, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher...... Do you have any other arrangements?"
Chen Daolin shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.
In fact, this was really a temporary arrangement, and Chen Daolin never thought that he would suddenly decide to accompany Lucius back to his hometown to save the old Governor Fritz. And I didn't expect that there would be a group of Heynckes sending a group of men to accompany along the way.
Before going on board yesterday, the Pope gave himself the people of the Church and left, and as His Majesty the Pope, of course, he could not have ventured to the sea on his own.
However, Chen Daolin looked at the elites in the church sent by the Pope, and no matter how he looked at it, he looked a little like a dead man.
Without even guessing, Chen Daolin can be sure that in this era, after going to sea, half of these people can come back alive. Even if it is blessed by the goddess.
Therefore, although Chen Daolin has never had a good sense of the clergy of the church, this time he was much more polite...... If you change it, you won't deliberately worry too much about a group of people who are clearly going to die.
Besides, Chen Daolin and the Temple of Light did not have any deep hatred, and if you put it carefully, it was the Temple of Light that gave Chen Daolin a lot of help. The two teams of Montoya and Ade, who were abducted from the church by Chen Daolin, escaped from prison in the imperial capital and hid in the Temple of Light. Speaking of which, it was Darlinggo who fooled the church about a lot of things.
However, Chen Daolin didn't really hide his secrets this time.
The last time the church sent people to sea. Chen Daolin didn't know in advance, so that's it.
This time, knowing that the church had organized a manpower expedition for the second time, no matter what the reason for doing so was, Chen Daolin admired the feat of daring to venture into the ocean in this era.
Therefore, Chen Daolin really didn't hide his secrets anymore. I basically told what little knowledge I knew about the Great Voyage.
For example, in this era, the navigation level of the Roland Empire is not bad, and it already has relatively mature navigation technology and shipbuilding technology.
The sea ships made by the Roland people can basically meet the needs of ocean voyages. But at present, most of the voyages of the Roland Empire are offshore voyages, and the farthest is to the South Seas. There are also countless islands along the way to anchor for supplies, and the routes are not too far.
And true ocean voyages, especially those that are likely to cross almost half a planet or more, have many limitations.
For example, the first and most important key to ocean voyage is to determine the bearing.
The Roland Empire already had a nautical compass, a compass-like thing. However, in ocean voyages, positioning cannot only rely on the compass, and there are likely to be other interference factors in the surroundings. The compass may not be accurate.
Chen Daolin was also the one who almost devoured the library in the school before he crossed over.
When I was an otaku, I used to stay up all night playing the big sailing game and soaked in related forums.
The astrological technique used by the ancient people of the Celestial Empire was somewhat too complicated, and it may not be applicable to this Roland world.
Chen Daolin provided a technique to these "church death squads". It is the cross goniometer used by Europeans in the Age of Discovery in the real world: put the top of a vertical rod in front of your eyes, then pull the crossbar (or transverse plate, there are usually several pieces) set on the vertical bar, and finally make one end of the crossbar face the sun, and the other end is facing the horizon, so that the angle of the sun is obtained.
This set of things is not complicated, and most of the people sent by the church are elites, and they are also people who have received a relatively high-level education in this era, so Chen Daolin spent a day and roughly taught them this principle.
Another constraint that restricts ocean voyages is ...... Scurvy!
To put it simply...... It is...... Long-term insufficient vitamin C intake or diarrhea, vomiting and other conditions can cause vitamin C deficiency, so that collagen can not be synthesized normally, and the brittle of capillaries increases, thus causing skin and submucosal hemorrhage.
However, of course, Chen Daolin would not say this to the people in the church, otherwise, I am afraid that those clergy will have a golden star in their eyes when they hear it.
Chen Daolin just explained that people who go to sea must also pay attention to supplementing some fruits and vegetables, and cannot only eat fish and meat for a long time...... Because in this era, because the technical level of food storage is still relatively backward, it is easier to store pickled fish and meat for a long time, while fruits and vegetables are more difficult.
It doesn't matter if you sail near the sea, but if you sail in the ocean, if you can't get fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins for a month or two, you can basically wait for death at sea.
Chen Daolin reminded the people of this crucial matter to the people of the church - whether they understand it or not, anyway, Chen Daolin is only responsible for telling them, not to explain too many principles, only to tell them to pay attention to carrying enough fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, there are mages among the people in the church, and as long as they bring a few storage rings and other equipment, they can solve this problem.
The only thing Chen Daolin reminded them was not to just take out a warehouse of fish and meat, just bring enough fruits and vegetables.
As for the rest......
Leave it to fate.
Of course, Chen Daolin also put forward his own requirements.
He made a deal with Heynckes: if the people of the church could succeed in finding the big 6 overseas......
"I need a nautical chart. Chen Daolin looked into Heynckes' eyes at that time and put forward his own conditions.
"Yes!" the Pope agreed without thinking.
"Nautical charts must be true, if they are falsified......"
"We can sign the soul contract. "Heynckes did a great job at this.
But after signing the soul contract. Before leaving, the Pope glanced at Chen Daolin with complicated eyes.
"Your Excellency Darling, now I can confirm that you didn't tell me the truth before...... Overseas may really exist in the big 6 you are talking about...... But you've said before that you're from that Big 6...... This seems to be a lie. ”
Chen Daolin just smiled.
"I have no intention of pursuing your origins. Heynckes sighed and withdrew his gaze, "I just wanted to sue you." Master Darling, there is no hostile relationship between you and me, maybe we can cooperate in many things, and you are the messenger of the goddess, although I have always been very unable to understand why you have such an identity, but the divine power you displayed in front of me that day. No fakes. You may have a lot of secrets, but because you are an oracle, I am silent and will not pursue them. I just hope that, next time, you don't lie to me. God's servants may be deceived once, but the second time if there is another deception. What you have to face is the wrath of millions of divine servants of the Empire!"
......
"You say, will the teacher forget about us?"
Dixon sneezed hard.
Captain Hook sat facing him, and the two of them sat in an inn on the Imperial Capital Docks.
Seat by the window, outside the window is the busy scene of the Imperial Capital Pier.
There is a mix of dragons and snakes here, and living here is the least noticeable. Dixon and Captain Hook, disguised as merchants, had been living here for several days.
Just two days ago, the two got a note from Chen Daolin. It was Chen Daolin who used a little magic to teleport over, and a piece of paper folded into a butterfly and flew into Dixon's hand.
opened it and saw that it was Chen Daolin's handwritten letter, which allowed the two of them to live here with peace of mind, waiting for him to come back.
Hook ignored Dixon's complaints, and the captain picked up the flask and took a sip. Look at the boats moored at the dock outside...... There was a strange glint in Hook's eyes.
"What's wrong? Miss it?" Dixon smiled.
"You don't understand. Hook shook his head: "The days at sea and the days on the six earths are two completely different worlds. ”
Dixon thought for a moment, but the young magician said he couldn't understand it, and then he shook his head: "Anyway, the teacher just let us wait here." He didn't give us any tasks...... My captain, you say, we will be annoyed if we drink here every day and watch the scenery. Since they are all in the imperial capital...... It's such a prosperous city in the first male city of Big 6, and it's the day of the emperor's wedding celebration, why don't we go out and have some fun?"
Hook's eyes widened as he looked at Dixon, "You...... What are you going to do again?!"
Dixon immediately shouted, "Hey, in your eyes, my dignified Mage Dixon, will he only cause trouble?!"
Hook didn't speak, but just silently said in his heart: ignore him, ignore him, ignore him, ignore him......
But at this moment, Dixon suddenly exclaimed, "Huh, Hook, look, that man!"
Hook looked up and followed Dixon's finger......
Outside the window, on the edge of the pier, a figure appeared.
A slender figure.
Although he wore a wide robe, he still couldn't hide the charming curves that loomed under the robe. She had a hat on her head, but the sharp-eyed magician could still see a few soft strands falling from the brim.
Although it is only a back, but this back is ......
"I recognize it when it turns to ashes!!"
Dixon's eyes lit up.
"Huh?" Hook frowned, "Who?"
"A woman who was once famous in the low degree. Dixon put down the wine glass in his hand: "The head of the imperial capital of the Tulip family, Lady Fiona!"
"So what. Hook said in a deep voice, "The Tulip family is here...... That's someone else's business, you ......"
"That's the goddess of my dreams!" Dixon slid off his chair, his eyes flashing, "Go, follow and see!"
Hook was about to stop him, but Dixon had already floated to the top of the stairs, and Captain Hook did not dare to scream, so he had to chase after him......
......
Fiona stood on the dock, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a hat to hide her gorgeous face.
She seemed to be alone, but not far from her side, there were always a few men with powerful figures but wearing civilian clothes, wandering around her, with vigilant glances flashing in their eyes from time to time.
Fiona looked at a fully loaded cargo ship in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The last one...... Tell me to go down, and we must set sail tonight!
