Chapter Ninety-Eight: Drawing a Map (I)
"You're not drawing the right way!" said Karjana, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly.
Sean stopped and looked at the other man......
"What did you say was wrong?"
"You can't start like this. You're going to need to make this map smaller, in that case, you'll need to set the scale first. Karjana said, pointing to the location on the map.
"If you don't set the scale, you can't draw the whole map completely, like these...... You can't even draw it. She pointed to the larger houses on the map.
If you really can't put it down according to the proportions that Sean is drawing at the moment......
In fact, before starting to draw, Sean thought about determining the scale first, but in the end he chose to draw at random, because in his opinion, some maps were not so accurate, such as the sketches in the hands of those adventurers.
It is simply to draw a mountain and mark the name, draw a city below and write the name, specify the general route and direction, and some places do not even have a specific route marked, but they can still see it.
For example, Claude took out a map of the surrounding towns in the Skovey store earlier......
It's very simple, the center is Koga City, then the surrounding location is drawn with the mountains and rivers that should be, and finally the location and name of the surrounding town.
This kind of rough map Sean can't see the specific situation of the city, only the simple route.
That is, what to draw and what to see......
In my field of vision, it is a simple floor plan, at most there are mountains and plains, and the colors are different, and as for the city, it is only what it looks like in the picture, the only difference is that there will be an arrow representing your position, and you need to go out of the city to be able to clearly see the location move.
So Sean wanted to try to see if this rough drawing could show it.
He looked up at Karjana, who was speaking.
"You know this?" was a little surprised.
This little witch actually has a specialty in this area.
"Of course. The other party said confidently.
"Karyana was also a student at the Academy of Rietis. Frelia behind her stood up and said.
From the beginning to the present, she has been in a state of confusion.
It seems that this legendary witch who knows all kinds of magic and those mysterious organizations also has a field that she does not know at all!
"So you can draw?"
"That's it. The other party replied in the affirmative.
"Karjana, help Sean. Frelia, who was watching from the sidelines, added.
In fact, if you want to calculate it, Sean thinks that it is not difficult to draw a map, and it is better to draw it yourself in the future, otherwise it will be impossible to take people with you forever when you go to other places.
Hearing the command of her own leader, Karyana approached Sean's side.
"When you draw, you should first scale the scale to ......"
She took out the tools she had placed on the table and began to teach, with the demeanor of a teacher.
From the length of the entire map to the exact scale of each empty space, she had to write it down individually, and then mark the points on the vellum with a ruler before starting.
"I like to connect the outer frames before drawing the inside, if you haven't learned before, it's better to follow my method, it's easier to ...... By the way, another point is that your piece of paper is a little smaller, if you want to draw the whole map, part of the house will be omitted, it is best not to mark it separately, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of this map. ”
Listen to each other's explanations.
I couldn't see that this little witch was still such a learned person!
Looking up at Frelia, who had been standing in front of them watching the two of them......
She smiled.
"Go ahead while it's still dark. Frelia really didn't know anything about it, so she could only watch the two of them communicate with each other.
Of course she knew what Karyana was capable of, otherwise she wouldn't have sent the young her to stay alone in Bifeng City...... As for Sean, it was a bit surprising.
Not only is he an aristocrat who likes to study academics, but more importantly, Frelia can see that he understands something.
Because every time Karjana spoke, he was able to pick up a few words, thinking that the other party's identity was just a little baron in a remote area!
It's a pity.
Because it was already afternoon when the three of them set off from Bifeng City.
Soon after the flight, the sky slowly darkened, but fortunately, after crossing the city of Bifeng, there were many towns to rest on the way north, as long as you wanted, you could drive until you couldn't see the front at all, and then choose to stop.
And Frelia didn't use such an extreme way, as long as it was dark, she still found a nearby rest area to stop at the first time.
The rest area in the north is much larger than in the south!
In the darkness of the night, when viewed from above, there is a sea of lights. But Sean didn't have time to wander around, and after coming to the rest area, he stayed in the room and didn't come out, even bringing in dinner.
I've never seen Sean so serious.
So Frelia didn't bother him, but let the room work out how to draw a map......
It felt harder than expected, but it wasn't particularly hard.
It's just that it's cumbersome, and it does take a lot of effort to be accurate.
If you want to draw a map of the city yourself, then you can't carefully measure the size of the entire city and draw it according to a certain scale?
It's a hassle to think about it.
It's no wonder that the schematic map of Koga City has been missing for so long, and it is the Earl's Court that can have such a detailed estimate, and those specific data are not known to ordinary people, even if they are drawn by themselves, they are not so accurate.
Looking at the map of Telemian on the table, it had been drawn a little rudimentary, and most of it was drawn by Karjana......
I have to admit that her mapping ability is very good, and the overall lines are clean and standard.
Although it is only a corner of the Tellermian map, it can be seen that her skills can be seen, and it is estimated that if she is given some time, she should be able to completely simulate the entire Temian map.
In the smaller version, it is estimated that you will not be able to see many things in the block, and it may be difficult for pedestrians to distinguish clearly.
But the problem seems to have returned......
Do you really need to draw accurately? If it's shoddy, can it work?
Sean brought another piece of leather paper, and thought to himself about the places near Telemian that had passed along the way after the carriage had come out, and wanted a brief map.
First of all, Telemien...... Replace it with a village-like marker, and then in the mountainous area.
Finally, the road outside the mountains and several important rest areas on the way, then the inner city of Koga......
Very simple.
It's similar to the kind of map that mercenaries can easily buy.
After drawing, I took a closer look at the ......
There doesn't seem to be anything special.
This is...... Didn't work?
