Chapter 492 [Church Death Squad]
Chapter 492 [Church Expendables]
Chen Daolin sat in the cabin.
The cabin is located at the highest point of the ship, with windows and doors open to give the view on the water.
Beside Chen Daolin, Sasha was looking at her new teacher with a frown. Seeing that the wine glass in front of Chen Daolin was empty, she quickly brought the wine pot to fill him up.
"Teacher, you've been sitting here for almost an hour." Sasha shrank her neck: "Is this scenery that beautiful?"
Chen Daolin glanced at her and said lightly: "Is it cold?"
"What month has it been, and who is opening the window in the middle of the night is blowing cold wind?" Shasha complained, "It's on the river again."
Chen Daolin was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from outside. McQueen and Lucius walked in one after another.
McQueen turned around and closed the door. This action made Sasha smile on her face. However, the Necromancer did not look at Sasha, but walked to Chen Daolin and whispered: "Teacher, those church people are resting in the cabin at the bottom."
Chen Daolin smiled and looked at McQueen and Lucius: "What am I telling you about?"
"It's done." McQueen answered immediately, but his face was a little confused and he whispered: "Teacher... do you have any other arrangements?"
Chen Daolin shrugged and said nothing.
In fact, this was really a temporary arrangement. Chen Daolin never thought that he would suddenly decide to accompany Lucius back to his hometown to save Governor Fritz. And he didn't expect that Heinx would send a group of subordinates to accompany him on the way.
Before boarding the ship yesterday, the Pope left after handing over the people in the church to him - as the Pope's Majesty, of course, it was impossible for him to go out to sea by himself.
However, Chen Daolin looked at the elites in the churches sent by the Pope, and no matter how he looked at the dead, he looked at them.
Without even guessing, Chen Daolin can be sure that in this era, half of these people will come back alive after going out. Even if it is a goddess, it is blessed.
Therefore, although Chen Daolin has never had any good sense of the clergy in the church, he was much more polite this time... If it weren't for anyone, he wouldn't deliberately be too scrupulous with a group of people who were obviously going to die.
Besides, Chen Daolin and the Temple of Light did not have any deep hatred. To put it carefully, the Temple of Light gave Chen Daolin a lot of help. Montoya and Ade, the two teams, were kidnapped by Chen Daolin from the church. When he escaped from the imperial capital, he was also hiding in the Temple of Light. Speaking of which, Brother Daling fooled many things in the church.
However, Chen Daolin did not really hide his own privately this time.
The last time the church sent someone to sea, Chen Daolin didn't know about it in advance, so that's fine.
This time, since we know that the church organized a sea-mounted expedition for the second time, no matter what the starting point was, Chen Daolin admired the feat of daring to take risks in this era.
Therefore, Chen Daolin really didn't hide his own private matters anymore. He basically said all the knowledge about the great navigation that he knew.
For example, in this era, the sailing level of the Roland Empire was no longer bad, and it had relatively mature sailing technology and shipbuilding technology.
The sea ships made by the Roland people can basically meet the needs of long-distance navigation. However, most of the sailings of the Roland Empire are near-sea navigation, and the farthest ones go to the South Ocean. There are countless islands along the way that can be parked for additional supplies, and the route is not too far.
And true ocean navigation, especially those that are likely to have to travel across almost half a planet or even further, have many restrictions.
For example, the first important key to ocean voyage is to determine the orientation.
The Roland Empire already had a nautical compass, which is something like a compass. However, during ocean voyages, positioning cannot be based solely on the compass. In the case of other interference factors likely to exist around it, the compass may not be accurate.
After all, Chen Daolin was the one who had almost ate all the libraries in the school before traveling through time.
When I was an otaku, I also spent all night playing related forums.
The astrology technique used by ancient people in the Celestial Empire was a bit too complicated and may not be suitable for this Roland world.
Chen Daolin provided a technique for these "Church Death Squads". It is a cross goniometer that Europeans used in the Age of Discovery in the real world: put the top of a vertical rod in front of their eyes, then pull the horizontal rod (or horizontal plate, usually several pieces) that are placed on the vertical rod, and finally make one end of the horizontal rod face the sun and the other end 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 higher-level education in this era, so it took Chen Daolin a day to teach them this principle.
Another confinement that restricts ocean navigation is...scurvy!
Simply put...it is... Long-term intake of vitamin C or diarrhea, vomiting, etc. can cause vitamin C deficiency, causing collagen to not be synthesized normally, leading to cell connection disorders, increasing the brittleness of capillaries, and thus causing skin and submucosal bleeding.
However, Chen Daolin certainly would not say this to the church people, otherwise, I was afraid that those clergy would see stars in their eyes when they heard 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 for a long time... Because in this era, because the technical level of food storage is still relatively backward, pickled fish is easier to store for a long time, and fruits and vegetables are difficult.
It doesn’t matter if you sail in the ocean, but if you sail in the ocean, you will not be able to get fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins in one or two months, so you can basically wait to die at sea.
Chen Daolin reminded the people of the church this key thing - whether they understand it or not, Chen Daolin is only responsible for telling them that they don’t need to explain too many principles, but only telling them to pay attention to carrying enough fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, there are mages among the church, and as long as they bring a few storage rings and other equipment, this problem can be solved.
The only thing Chen Daolin reminded them was not to bring only one warehouse of fish and meat, just bring enough fruits and vegetables.
As for the others...
Leave it to fate.
Of course, Chen Daolin also made his own request.
He proposed a transaction condition for Heinx: If the church can successfully find the overseas continent...
"I need a navigation chart." Chen Daolin looked into Heinx's eyes and put forward his own conditions.
"Yes!" The Pope agreed to this condition without thinking.
"The navigation chart must be true, if it is a fraud..."
"We can sign a soul contract." Heinx is a very single at this point.
However, after signing the soul contract, the Pope looked at Chen Daolin with a complicated look before leaving.
"Your Excellency Darling, now I can confirm that you haven't told me the truth before... Maybe there really is the continent you mentioned overseas... But you have said before that you are from that continent... This seems to be a lie."
Chen Daolin just smiled.
"I have no intention of pursuing your origin." Heinx sighed and withdrew his gaze: "I just want to tell 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 never understood why you have such an identity, the divine power you showed in front of me that day could not be faked. Maybe you have many ulterior motives, but because you are the identity of the messenger of God, I remain silent and will not pursue it. I just hope that next time, you will not deceive me. God's servants may be fooled once, but if there is another deception, what you have to face is the anger of millions of God's servants in the Empire!"
...
"You said, will the teacher forget us?"
Dixon sneezes hard.
Captain Hook sat face to face with him, and the two sat in a hotel at the Imperial Capital Pier.
The seats leaning against the windows are outside the windows, and the scene of the busyness of the Imperial Capital Pier.
There are mixed together with dragons and snakes, and living here will not attract the least attention. Dixon and Captain Hook are dressed as merchants and have been living here for several days.
Just two days ago, the two received a note from Chen Daolin. It was sent by Chen Daolin with a small magic. A piece of paper folded into a butterfly and flew into Dixon's hands.
I opened it and read it. It was Chen Daolin's handwritten letter that allowed the two of them to live here with peace of mind and wait for him to come back.
Hook ignored Dickson's complaints, and the captain picked up the wine pot and took a sip. Looking at the boat moored at the pier outside... Hook's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"What's wrong? Do you miss it very much?" Dixon smiled.
"You don't understand." Hook shook his head: "The days at sea and on land are completely different worlds."
Dixon thought for a while, and the young magician said he could not understand, and then he shook his head: "Anyway, the teacher only asked us to wait here. He didn't give us any tasks... My captain, you said that we would be bothered by drinking and watching the scenery here every day. Since we are all in the imperial capital... Such a prosperous mainland's first heroic city and the emperor's wedding day, why not go out and have some fun?"
Hook stared at Dixon with wide eyes: "You...what are you going to cause trouble again?!"
Dixon immediately shouted, "Come in trouble? Hello! In your eyes, will my dignified Master Dixon only cause trouble?!"
Hook didn't say anything, just silently saying in his heart: Ignore him and ignore him and ignore him...
But at this moment, Dixon suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? Hook! Look! That person!"
Hook looked up and followed the direction of Dixon's finger...
Outside the window, a figure appeared on the edge of the dock.
A slim figure.
Although she was wearing a wide robe, she still could not hide the charming curves that were faintly visible under the robe. She had a hat on her head, but the sharp-eyed magician still saw that a few strands of soft hair fell from the brim of the hat.
Although it is just a back view, this back view...
"I recognize it even if it turns into ashes!!"
Dickson's eyes emitted light.
"Hmm?" Hook frowned: "Who?"
"A woman who was once very famous in low-level conditions." Dixon put down the wine glass in his hand: "Ms. Fiona, the head of the Tulips family's imperial capital!"
"So what?" Hook said in a deep voice: "The Tulips' people appear here... that's also someone else's business, you..."
"That's my dream goddess!" Dixon slid down from the chair, his eyes flashing: "Go, follow and take a look!"
Hook was about to stop him, but Dickson had already floated to the stairs. Captain Hook didn't dare to scream, so he had to chase after him...
...
Fiona stood at the dock, wearing a casual outfit and a hat to cover her gorgeous face.
She seemed alone, but not far from her side, there were always a few men with strong figures and strong figures in casual clothes wandering around her, with vigilant gazes flashing from time to time in her eyes.
Fiona looked at a full cargo ship in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The last one... I'll continue to order, and I must set sail tonight! Don't delay the family's major affairs!"
