Looking at the dilapidated three-masted sailboat he was in, Allen refused to believe even to death that the jewel in the crown of the Queen of Humanity was worth just this little.
Allen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't intend to expose it. He just smiled bitterly and said: "You don't think you can cross the ocean with such a broken ship..."
"Why not?" Columbus was very confident and said in a proud tone again: "I am a genius, but I have the blood ability of the elemental natural system... to control the storm!"
Sure enough, riding the storm...
Allen nodded. In fact, he had already guessed Columbus's bloodline ability. It seemed that this guy planned to use his bloodline ability to propel this broken ship on a long voyage. Allen did not intend to compete with him, but said lightly:
"Well... I wish you all the best and success in your dreams."
"Haha! Brother! Thank you!"
"Then take me ashore first. I have to go." Allen said noncommittally.
"How can this be done!? I finally met someone of the same kind." Columbus hurriedly advised.
"Who is your kind? I can't stand the long loneliness at sea." Allen shook his head and continued to refuse. He had other things to worry about. At the same time, Allen kept thinking in his mind, how to get rid of this person with a low IQ.
Negative guy.
"Loneliness is not a disease! It is the world that is sick!" Columbus suddenly said this for no reason.
"This?..." Allen was stunned for a moment.
"So, we need to find a brand new world!" Columbus said very confidently.
Allen was speechless after saying this. He put his hand on his forehead, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
"Come on, come on, big brother! Let me show you the things inside the ship. Let you have some confidence!" Columbus became enthusiastic again and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."
"Alan." Allen replied casually, but thought in his heart, forget it, this guy probably held it in for too long, so he reluctantly chatted with him for a while, so that he could gain more recognition and satisfy his desire to talk.
After that, he should part ways with himself.
Allen was dragged into the captain's cabin by Columbus. He saw that the small wooden room was filled with various boxes and odds and ends. In the middle was a large elm wood desk, with various boxes on it.
There was a pile of miscellaneous things, a pile of parchment, maps, books, and various tools that Allen couldn't understand.
Allen carefully looked at the somewhat crowded and messy room for a while. It was obvious that Columbus was alone and had not been tidied up at all.
"Look! This is a protractor. It can measure angles and determine the position based on the position of the stars at night." Columbus excitedly took one of the pieces and explained it to Allen. Then he took another piece and said: "
This is a sextant."
Originally, Allen was extremely distrustful of Columbus. However, after looking at the pile of things on his big desk, he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration. He picked up a piece of parchment and it was a pair of parchments.
Half of the map was drawn by hand, and there were various rough calculations written next to it. Allen changed a book, opened it, and saw that it was an astronomical star chart. This is a set of maps that use the position of the North Star to determine the latitude.
The method of positioning is also called star-finding, and it is also called astronomy and navigation.
Columbus was still talking endlessly about his thoughts, ideas, etc., and some of the content was really lengthy and too professional. Allen couldn't even listen to a word, and just flipped through the things on Columbus's desk.
Next to a retractable telescope, there was a simple-looking compass. Allen knew these two things. He opened the compass and saw that the pointer on the compass was rotating rapidly, and after a while, it stopped at a certain position.
Not moving anymore.
Allen stared at the compass silently, feeling a little weird, so he asked: "Is this compass inaccurate?"
"Ah!? That's it!..." Columbus snatched the compass as if he cherished it very much. After confirming that the compass was intact, he said in a mysterious tone: "This is an amazing thing.
ah!"
"Isn't this just a compass?" Allen asked strangely.
"Huh! This thing cost me a lot of money to get. Most of the money I got from the Queen's crown jewels was spent on this thing." Columbus said as if you don't know anything about it.
Tone seriously.
"Is it such an exaggeration?" Allen was surprised. He thought that this guy spent all his money on this broken ship. It seems that this guy is not completely stupid.
"Of course!" Columbus said excitedly, and then he seemed a little discouraged and said depressedly: "If it weren't for this thing, I wouldn't have been able to get this three-masted sailboat that was almost scrapped."
"So amazing? Tell me." Allen asked curiously. After hearing what Columbus said, he suddenly felt that this guy was quite self-aware. Allen quietly raised Columbus's IQ by one notch.
"Look!" Seeing Allen's interest, Columbus immediately held the compass in his hand and showed it to Allen as if showing off a treasure. He saw that the pointer on the compass slowly pointed north for a while, then stopped.
, and after a while it pointed south again.
"Is this!?" Allen was surprised. The pointer was obviously not driven by a natural magnetic field.
"Haha! That's awesome! This is called the wish compass!" Columbus said proudly: "It can point out the direction of what you want most in your heart at the moment!"
"Holy crap! There is such a thing!?" Allen was simply stunned, and then he searched frantically in his mind. Could it be ancient magic? However, Allen couldn't find any information related to it, and hurriedly
Asked: "Where did you get this?"
"I got it from a guy who claimed to be a pirate captain." Columbus said proudly.
"Awesome!" Allen was immediately impressed.
"How's it going? With this wish compass, we will never lose our way." Columbus patted Allen on the back, as if if you follow me, you will definitely not suffer.
It has to be said that Allen's impression of Columbus was instantly reversed. After looking at the pile of professional information and various tools on the big desk, as well as the magical wish compass. Although Allen has not verified it, he has
I'm starting to admire Columbus a little. This guy is not just a whimsical and daydreaming guy.
I really took action. Although there were some tricks and tricks, I was also doing serious research at the same time. Just the calculation formulas, written records, and half-drawn maps on a lot of drafts.
It is not something that ordinary people can do in a short period of time, and this persistence is evident.
"Oh, by the way." Columbus seemed to have forgotten what to say, and added: "I also built a blood furnace. Over the past month or so, the blood essence and blood I have refined is enough for the two of us to eat for more than half a year.
.I have calculated that it only takes a few months to reach the legendary East!"
"Ah? You've even considered this!" Allen said in surprise, this guy is really thoughtful!
"Of course!" Columbus said happily when he saw that Allen had some praise for him, but soon, his face turned a little distressed and said: "It's a pity that there is no shady chariot."
"Why?"
"Sigh... Because I have calculated that unless the tonnage of the ship is larger, it will not be able to carry enough blood to support the operation of the shady chariot. So, I simply won't bring it." Columbus sighed, as if this pair of
For him, it was an extremely unfortunate thing.
"But, it doesn't matter! As long as we have the Wish Compass, there is nothing we can't do?" Columbus instantly smiled playfully again and said, "Let's go! Our goal is the stars and the sea!"
