Chapter 223: Calculations

The Conquest couldn't make a decision, and the best solution now was to ask Fang Shi to sail to find the Guardian Knight, but Dolly knew she wouldn't move. What should I do? Do you leave for Tofu Island first to pick up Tang Er and Huang Ye before making a decision?

After three days of discussion, Dolly made a difficult decision, and the ten Adepts followed the Conquest back to Tofu Island, while the twenty Adepts and the supply ship remained near the Winless Land for the time being. Dolly must take a gamble that at least one of Tang'er and Huang Ye will be waiting for the ship in the Tofu Islands. The Conquest then returned to the Windless Lands to await the Guardian Knights......

Even Dolly herself admits that this decision is terrible, but she really can't come up with a better way.

Even after deciding, Dolly still has a secret meeting with Gamble, and she hopes that Gamble can convince Fang Shi to make a trip. Gamble tells Dolly that even if Fang Shi wants to go, he will stop him. It's not about the dangers of a windless land, it's about the more you intervene, the more trouble you have. After all, this is the holy place of the four major families, the place where the goddess hall is located.

The night before his departure, Shabang found a soul wandering twenty nautical miles away. Fang Yi immediately released the dinghy and rushed over under the guidance of Sabang.

......

Early the next morning, the Conquest met again, attended by the two commanders Tang Zhi and Dolly, as well as Fang Shi.

"The soul is an ordinary sailor, a crew member called Crew A, and because he has thoughts, his soul wanders the sea for several days. "Souls are not ghosts, they will leave sooner or later, and they will go soon. Fang Shi said: "I contacted him, and he told me that he heard the sound of the piano, the sound of the harp, and went to the deck in a daze, and then he didn't know anything. Until death, after his out-of-body experience, he found his body floating on the surface of the sea, far from the supply ship. He followed his corpse for more than an hour and began to miss his new wife, so he wanted to go back to the supply ship to see the picture of his wife, but unfortunately he got lost. So he didn't leave the world right away, and kept looking for supply ships on the sea. By the way, he has fulfilled his wish and left the world. ”

"Harp?" Dolly asked rhetorically, "there are many people who have a talent for hurting instruments, and the harp has the ability to confuse, and can make ordinary sailors walk to the deck on their own, or even jump into the sea by themselves, I believe, and I know at least two people who have such abilities." But the harp's attack on the ordinary crew would inevitably affect the supernatural people on the ship at that time, and they would definitely be wary. "The voice does not distinguish between friend and foe, and attacks from all sides.

Fang Shi said: "That's the way it is, he only provided this information after trying to recall. ”

Dolly nodded: "I know that there are two people who can hurt people with music, one is a senior in his sixties, and the other is an Indian, a neutral person, a woman, about Chinese New Year's Eve today, and her strength is average." Unless it's an illusion talent of Bith's level and a talent for music, music can't hurt a person with extraordinary abilities. ”

Tang Zhi asked, "Could it be a witch?" Nobuko is a witch, she and the sword saint practice martial arts, and learn the moves of the sword. But after entering the demon, because she had demonic energy as her mental power, she immediately turned into a female sword master. ”

Dolly and Fang Shi tasted for a while, and Dolly said, "This speculation seems to be unfounded. "They don't know that the Goddess Anecdote is related to the Temple of the Goddess.

Tang pointed out: "Fang Shi, I want you something, with your strength, can you carry the materials you can carry from the Phi Phi Islands to the windless land?"

Fang Shi asked, "No boat?"

"Nope. ”

Fang Shi said: "It's not a big problem, it will take a lot of time. And there is a condition, the route must be known. "It's too difficult to determine the route of the Sea of the Gods, and many places can only use islands as references.

Dolly asked, "What do you think of?"

Tang pointed out, "We have always suspected that there are any traitors among the Strangers, and I know that you suspect that Tang Si and Tang Er killed the people on the supply ship...... But we never doubted ordinary people. I'm wondering if there will be any Adepts disguised as ordinary people and hiding among the crew, staying on the supply ship. Or hide in a supply ship. ”

Dolly smiled wryly, "Of course it's possible, but who is it? There are countless possibilities." ”

Tang pointed out: "Those who are interested in the Goddess Temple. ”

Dolly said: "The Poseidon also just learned that the Windless Land is related to the Temple of the Goddess, and I believe that they say so." And then there's ...... Holy See?"

Tang pointed out: "There is a Phantasm Knight in the Holy See who can create illusions and dreams, and if he suddenly attacks the supply ship, he has the ability to make the people on board lose the ability to resist. ”

Fang Shi asked, "Why did the Holy See kill people?"

Tang pointed out: "They are not here to kill people, but to extract confessions and silence them. If you think about it, there are people in the Holy See who know about the Temple of the Goddess and the Windless Land, as confirmed earlier. When the Holy See knew that the Four Great Families had sent forty Abilities into the Windless Land, wouldn't they have the slightest bit of worry?"

Dolly said: "In the past two or three months, the Holy See has been fully defending the East and West Straits...... Of course, it's easy to draw people out. ”

Tang pointed out: "If this speculation is true, they are familiar with the Windless Land and know the location of the Goddess Temple, will the four guardian knights be attacked by them?"

Dolly pondered for a long time: "There is no way to sneak attack us, now we can only pray that Tang'er is waiting for us on Tofu Island." She had some suspicions in her heart that Tang Zhi deliberately created an enemy in order to exonerate Tang Er. But this enemy also makes sense.

Tang Zhi nodded: "The goddess will protect us." ”

......

The next day, the Conquest and the Poseidon set sail, and they did not linger any longer. Set off in the morning and rush to Tofu Island in the evening.

Stop the boat, release the dinghy, and ten Adepts take two dinghys led by Dolly to Tofu Island. Fang Shi and Zhang Ming also took a dinghy to Tofu Island.

But no one saw Tang Er, nor did they see Huang Ye.

The Tofu Islands are sixteen neatly arranged square islands, and there are many islands in the eastward direction. Those who are more familiar with the Windless Lands will definitely choose to go ashore in the Tofu Islands rather than go to the outer edge of the Windless Lands and enter the islands.

After searching overnight, Fang Shi saw the murderous light in the east, about ten to twelve nautical miles away from the Tofu Islands. Next, the best scientist appeared, maybe not the best, but Fang Shi admired it very much.

Scientist: "Suppose the windless land is a circle, a circle made around some kind of energy. The known conditions are that the position of the ship in the windless land is five nautical miles from the edge of the circle, and the Tofu Islands are twelve nautical miles from the edge of the windless land......"

Twelve nautical miles was the next morning, and at the suggestion of scientists, it took a day to measure the distance.

Scientists draw a circle on a nautical chart using the most rudimentary tool: "This area is a windless place, and there are errors, but not very large." ”

The scientist found the center of the circle again: "This should be the place of energy...... The windless land covers an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, with a diameter of about 380 kilometers, more than 200 nautical miles, and a radius of about 100 nautical miles. According to one of the Adepts, the Guardian Knight traveled more than two hundred nautical miles, and if it was a straight line, it should have reached the eastern edge. ”

Gamble respectfully presented the chart of the C-line and explained the coordinates of the C-line to the extreme south, and since the C-line is a straight line, the scientist circled it according to the scale of the map and replied: "The eastern edge of the windless land is about 100 nautical miles away from the nearest route of the C-line." ”

Line C is dangerous, but Line C is a route, which means that the non-route area is more dangerous than Line C.

Dolly: "Luke. ”

Luke replied: "I'm not sure if it's a straight line, after the ship sank, we just spread out our minds and marched on the sea, and when we were tired, we lay down on the sea to rest." We are traveling according to the sunlight projected onto the surface of the sea. As for how many nautical miles traveled, we did not measure, but only a rough estimate. For example, we can walk five nautical miles in one hour, and fifty nautical miles in ten hours, according to this standard. ”

Gamble said: "There is no straight line on the sea, and once there is no island reference and compass, you can't walk in a straight line." This is also a reason for folk ghosts to hit the wall, because of the reason of the left and right main hands, people walk in a straight line in a place without direction, will slowly tilt to the left or right, and finally return to the original point, this situation is called ghost hitting the wall.

Dolly said, "Luke, you're so lucky to be back. ”

Luke nodded.

Gamble: "Dolly, what about your decision now? If you want to stay, the Poseidon will pick up the scientists. ”

Dolly was a little embarrassed.

Luke said, "I have a suggestion. ”

"Say it. Dolly said.

Luke: "There are only two people who can enter the windless land right now, Fang Shi and me. I don't know when the Guardian Knight will return, and it's not a way for the supply ship to stay near the windless land. I suggest that I be provided with enough supplies, and I will take them to Nameless Island and wait for the guardian knights. "Nameless Island is the island that the Pathfinder team is exploring, and it's only two nautical miles from the Windless Land.

Dolly nodded slowly: "This proposal is fine, but you ...... alone" The three Adepts of the supply ship were killed.

"I'm confident in my own strength, and I keep emitting smoke every day for people from afar to see," Luke said. There is fresh water on the island, and I just need to bring food. ”

Dolly said: "It seems that this can only be the case, after this return, I will gather the guardian knights as soon as possible and come to the windless land to pick you up again." "This route is familiar, there is no problem, and there is no need to be accompanied by the Poseidon.

Luke nodded.

Dolly said: "The Conquest is going south again to join the supply ship, can the Poseidon wait for us for two days?"

Gamble: "No problem. ”

Dolly said: "Please also ask the Poseidon to pay more attention to the information of Tang'er and Huang Ye." ”

Gamble: "We will, scientists?"

The four scientists looked at each other and said, "Let's just stay in the Tofu Islands for three days and take comprehensive samples." ”

Dolly: "Then trouble the Poseidon." ”

Gamble: "No. ”

......

The Conquest returned, the Poseidon anchored near the Tofu Islands, they did not relax, Fang Shi, the panacea, went to the Tofu Islands to be responsible for the safety of the scientists, and Ganbo, Anna, Zhang Ming and Su Jia were divided into two shifts to be responsible for surveillance near the sea area.

The sky is not beautiful, the first day of the majestic heavy rain, this rain outside is rare to see in ten years, the rain is either short, or slow long, this rain is urgent and long all day. It made four scientists suffer. Not to mention sampling, they can only nest in tents, and it is difficult to even solve them. Fortunately, there are people with special abilities who bring them food and drink.

The rain showed no sign of stopping, and the next morning, although the rain had decreased, it was still raining heavily. The scientists would not give up so easily, rejected Fang Shi's proposal to return to the ship, and insisted on nesting in their tents and waiting for the rain to stop. As an anomaly, the size of the rain is also related, usually use the telekinesis into a raincoat, the rain is too strong, in order to resist the invasion of the rainstorm, the telekinesis is consumed.

Fang Shi carried the items from the boat, set up a pergola on a tofu island, closed on three sides, Fang Shi lit a fire in the pergola, grabbed some fish and barbecued on the spot, and slowly boiled up the time.

At noon the next day, when the rain still didn't stop, Su Jia brought food from the Poseidon, first went to the scientists' tents, brought them blankets, and then brought food to Fang Shi on the next island.

Fang Shi helped take the food out of the food box, Su Jia kept observing Fang Shi, Fang Shi squinted: "What?"

Su Jia slowly closed her eyes: "Aren't you worried about Huang Ye?"

Fang Shi said: "Are you worried or not...... He's old, and he's prepared, and if something really happens, it's his own fault, and I can't help. I guess there must be a lot of excitement around the temple of the goddess. The four guardian knights, Tang Er, Huang Ye, and the man who killed the crew of the supply ship. ”

Su Jia: "What else?"

"How do you know there's more?"

Su Jia said: "I saw your actions of killing fish on the Poseidon, and I knew that you were thinking about things. ”

Fang Shi smiled: "It's hard to say...... I wanted to discuss it with Zhang Ming, but I felt very embarrassed when I said it. ”

Su Jia was curious: "What?"

Fang Shi said: "I think Luke has a problem. ”

"Oh?" Su Jia understood why he lost his position, the Poseidon knew that Fang Shi and Luke did not deal with each other, and if they wanted to guess Luke's black side, everyone would laugh again.

Fang Shi said: "Luke's initiative to stay on the island is the first suspicion, Luke's return alone is the second suspicion, Luke does not have a high-profile style this time, and the third suspicion." It may be that I am suspected of stealing the axe, and I have always believed that Luke is a villain, so all his actions are villains. ”

Su Jia objected: "Villains will think like this, you won't." ”

"Oh?" Fang Shi was a little shy: "I'm not a villain?"

Su Jia said very seriously: "Just look at the attitude of the scientists escorted by the Poseidon this time, I don't think you are villains." ”

Fang Shi said: "But I'm still worried about revenge." ”

Su Jia said: "There is a saying in Huaxia that repays grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue." If you don't hold a grudge, I think you are a villain, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and dare not hold a grudge against Luke and the sword riders. You and Bith killed May, and I think you guys were very courageous. If you and Birth don't dare to mention it, don't dare to talk about what happened six years ago, I'll think you're just because the enemy is not easy to mess with. ”

Fang Shi: "That's what you say...... I still like people to think I'm a bad person. ”

"Why?"

"Because I occasionally do a good deed, people will say that this person still has a bit of a conscience. People think I'm a good person, and once in a while I do a bad thing, people think I'm a really insidious big bad person. ”

"Haha. Su Jia grinned.

"Hey, don't laugh, I'm so embarrassed. ”
