In late November, the sun is just right.

White Sails! White Sails!

Two hundred sailing ships, large and small, sailed together.

The white sails that obscure the sky stretch from the front to the end of the line, and even a seabird cannot cross such a large fleet for a while.

The largest number of merchant ships loaded with various goods such as blankets, cloth, ironware, and wine belonged to the Yorkist family, while others belonged to the great nobles and large trading companies.

Then there are the colonization ships full of immigrants, indentured servants, and dreams of getting rich overnight in a new land.

Among them, there are many children of declining nobles like Vincent, who have a declining family like Vincent, who is ready to show their strength overseas and rise again.

As the flagship of the fleet is a fourth-class ship [Support] equipped with a strange ship's bow image.

Displacement 1088 tons, gun deck length 44.5 meters, number of guns 50, 22 24-pound guns on the lower deck, 22 12-pound guns on the upper deck, 4 6-pounder guns in the stern, 2 6-pounder guns in the bow tower.

Similar to Violet's Flaming Rose, it is a very standard Portland-class 50-gun fourth-class ship.

In the navy, first-class and second-class battleships have always been scarce, and most of the battleships that really participate in sea fighting as the main force of the navy are third-class battleships.

And even the third class battleships are mostly only active in the coastal waters of their own countries, and rarely go to the open ocean.

After all, in terms of self-sustaining power at sea and navigation ability, battleships above the third level are too large, too slow and too low.

Daring to participate in the voyage is purely because the captain is impatient.

On overseas routes, the warships of the navies of various countries encountered were the nominal battleships of the fourth class.

It's just that the strange objects equipped on the ship, even the holy relics, may allow them to exert a terrifying combat power far beyond that of ordinary battleships.

Get the "Privateer License" and officially join the dozens of pirate ships under the command of York, using their speed advantage to cruise on the outside, acting as a patrol ship for the escort fleet.

[Golden Deer] is naturally among them.

Not far away are the Greenville family's two merchant ships [Osprey] and "Kitty Hawk".

"Tsk, if something happens to the two of them on this voyage, Catherine will probably die directly.

However, these gold and silver treasures seem to be a lot, but they are actually floating wealth without a source.

Land, minerals, estates, pastures, etc., which can lay eggs, have all become unmasked colonies on the Bantaan Islands.

I don't know what our future base will look like, and whether it will be able to support the finances, taxes, infrastructure, and population of a privateer fleet.

If the Scrooge rank is concerned, Gus, who likes dignity and freedom, can only be regarded as a small mole, and Catherine is a greedy dragon.

If you want to pull out a copper plate from her hand, the two of us together won't be enough for her to fight. ”

Although he doesn't even know where the territory is now, Captain Byron has long been eyeing his own cabbage industry.

"Captain, don't say anything, I feel pain all over my body.

However, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Miss Catherine's nerves were too straight to stimulate her dragon nature as long as it wasn't real money that could be seen and touched.

When the time comes, you cry and roll on the ground twice, and then you utter a secret mantra that has been tried and tested: 'I want it, I want it, and if you don't give it to me, you won't get up.'"

Miss Catherine relents every time. ”

Bruch's face next to him, hidden under the mask, was as cold as granite, and there was a soft smile from the bottom of his heart.

Although there were only two of them near the helm.

Byron still threw the latter a look, don't say this kind of embarrassing thing that is easy to die.

However, the proposal itself is quite constructive and feasible, and the captain will consider it carefully.

Turning his head and glancing at the [Osprey] walking side by side, he was a little scratching his liver in his stomach.

"The speed of the Grand Fleet is too slow, and the speed of the [Golden Deer] is only one-third.

This is still the effect of having the blessing of the rear wind from north to south.

Only by officially entering the first circulation can the collective speed increase to a constant 6 knots or more, reaching the Bantaan Islands in a month's time.

The calculation time should be soon.

Only when we really leave the Old World, where the tentacles of the church are ubiquitous, and completely embark on overseas routes, can we dare to be a little presumptuous.

It's so close now, but it's hard to even talk to Catherine.

If I hadn't given one of the [Echo Conchs] I had captured from Little Norwich to Violet. ”

Another cold wind blew against the sea.

Byron tightened the cashmere tightness on his body, but he didn't feel too cold.

The merchant ships next to it had already spread all their sails.

Captains of full-sail sails prefer the "aft wind" rather than the "positive tail wind".

In this state, almost all sails can be opened, except for the mainmast, which needs to be retracted on the windward side to prevent obstruction.

It does not block each other's wind, and can also spread its wings and sails to accelerate.

However, in ultra-long-distance ocean voyages, it is impossible to continuously output wind power, and at this time, it is necessary to rely on the power of ocean currents.

Byron happened to talk to Bruch about the First Circulation.

Bell, bell, bell

The flagship [Support] at the front suddenly sounded the alarm bell and at the same time hoisted a signal flag.

Every ship in the fleet has a sample, passing from one level to the rest of the fleet.

That's not a warning sign, but: "Get ready, the fleet is about to enter the current." ”

Soon, in front of the fleet, a huge belt of ocean currents appeared like another ocean, which was clearly distinguishable from the sea water next to it.

When the sailors on their first ocean voyage saw this spectacle, they couldn't help but lie on the bulwark one by one and open their mouths wide.

"It's like a river in the sea!"

"It's amazing."

Catherine on the Osprey next door also ran out when she heard the news.

Leaned out half of his body, cocked half of his white calves, and fished out his palms, wanting to touch the ocean current.

It's a pity that the hands are too short to touch.

In fact, this "river in the sea" is everywhere on the sea, some of which can be distinguished with the naked eye, and some of which are completely imperceptible.

Temperature, salinity, size, length vary, both main stream and tributary.

But they all carry salt, oxygen and heat to all parts of the world.

Wherever they pass, they will also turn up underwater nutrients to feed plankton, and may even create a world-famous fishing ground.

[Naturalists] with a sequence of towers have specifically measured that this first circulation connecting the Old World and the Bantaan Islands, like a river in the sea, is hundreds of kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long.

In the proven world, it is the first.

The moment Byron drove the Golden Deer into this ocean current.

The logbook in the right eye writes on its own:

"Mr. Captain, you continue to improve your strength, seize your own pirate ship, and build your own team.

Now that you've finally set sail and embarked on the first leg of the Equitena Triangle, keep up the good work, the endless unknowns and secrets are about to open up to you.

Spirituality Boost 0.2! ”

[Hidden: Prophecy, Kingship, and Hunting God's Woden's Prophecy of Racial Revival, Historical Influence 69] The resolution density also jumped from 15% to 17%.

Byron glanced at the abruptly changing logbook and realized that he had taken a crucial milestone step by accident.

And

"The Ekadena Triangle? Does the triangular circulation of the Sea of Monsters have anything to do with this historical influence69, which is almost enough to overturn the secrets of the world order?

It's not just the Old World! ”

Byron, of course, knew what the "Equitena Triangle" was.

Just leave the waters of the North Sea, sandwiched between the Channel Islands and the Old Continent.

It is dangerous, mysterious, vast, and has never been able to conquer the "Sea of Ekadena", which means: the mother of monsters.

This sea is also known as the Sea of Monsters.

For no one who dares to sail into the depths of this ocean will ever come back alive.

That's why it has such a fierce name.

In addition, according to scholars' observations, there is an incomparably large counterclockwise triangular circulation system around this sea, the Equitena Triangle.

The current that connects the Old Continent to the Bantaan Islands is one side of the triangle: the First Circulation Zone.

The circulation zone is also one of the few safe passages in the Sea of Monsters.

Navigators know this common sense.

The Storm Riders' research on the storm system is unparalleled.

Byron has the legacy of the Lancaster family and knows a little more than anyone else.

There was once a Lancastrian ancestor who had reached the fifth-order legendary level, and through the triangular circulation data compiled by his predecessors, plus rushed to the sky to personally perceive and explore.

Assert the exception of the Bantaan Islands, which have not yet reached the end of exploration.

To the east opposite the "Sea of Equitena", there must be another extremely large continent!

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the current direction of the current in this great triangle.

It's a pity that due to the relationship between the forbidden area of the Sea of Monsters and the circulation, it is difficult to get there directly.

Expedition ships must first head southeast to the end of the Bantaan Islands before heading on the second circulation to the northeast.

If the inference is reasonable, it is possible to return to the Old World as long as you reach the end of the continent and pass through the Third Circulation.

The end is exactly at the Iron Anchor Bay of the Bay Folks!

According to the information shown on the logbook.

In order to truly unravel the mystery of the prophecy of the god of hunting, Byron will probably need to complete the feat of conquering the "Echadena Triangle".

"Let's take our time.

Now that the journey of 10,000 miles has only taken a small step, and even the boundaries of human explorers at this stage have not been touched, it is a bit ambitious to consider this. ”

As we move deeper into the First Circulation, the sun gradually sets below sea level.

Due to changes in salinity and temperature, a large white mist rose on the surface of the water, and visibility plummeted.

Byron suddenly turned his head and nodded to Bruch beside him:

"It's time."

While the two swapped places, Bruch turned into the pirate general Bill and took over the steering wheel from Byron's hand.

Byron himself took advantage of the fog to climb over the bulwark and leap into the sea, but was caught by a man-eating shark, crossed a waterline and disappeared into the fog.
