Mystery Comes to the Dragon Race

Chapter 467 Facing Fate
……

"guessed wrong?"

Chu Zihang frowned tightly, staring at Dawn firmly.

In fact, he has been relying on that small porthole for the past few days, observing the constellations at night.

He accurately found the Southern Cross constellation hanging in the sky.The Southern Cross is one of the constellations in the southern sky. Generally, navigators in the southern hemisphere use the Southern Cross to determine the direction of true south.The Southern Cross constellation, near the South Celestial Pole, is composed of four bright stars, shaped like a "ten", drawn from the bottom of this "ten" vertically until it is about 4 times the length of this vertical. One point is the South Celestial Pole.

Therefore, the direction indicated by the Southern Cross constellation is due south.

This constellation is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere, and areas south of the Troutus.This constellation is invisible north of the Tropic of Cancer.Usually, it is the North Star that determines the direction in the northern hemisphere, and this is also the North Star that they are familiar with.

In the southern hemisphere, the Polaris cannot be seen, so the Southern Cross can only be used for positioning. Therefore, the Southern Cross is very important in the southern hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, the constellation is only visible from areas south of the Tropic of Cancer.And it is only observable in the first half of the year.

But now it's the second half of the year.

Through the simple judgment of the Southern Cross constellation and time, Chu Zihang concluded that their current location is in the southern hemisphere.

According to the position of the Southern Cross constellation, and through the calculation method of the spherical triangle, Chu Zihang roughly calculated that they are between the Tropic of Capricornus and 30 degrees in the southern hemisphere.

But after that, the constellations in the sky did not change at all, they did not move at all.

Then he roughly judged that they might be advancing at a very high speed based on the degree of water splashing at the stern.

It is almost impossible to move forward at this speed without any changes in the stars in the sky.

Even if the latitude is only slightly deflected, if you move forward at the current speed, you will soon find a change in the astrology.But unfortunately, no, the constellations in the sky are like stickers, and there is no change at all.

The basic positions of the stars will not change, but the star map will change, because people observe the angular positions of the stars from the earth.

Unless people can rotate with the direction of the earth's rotation, that is, the east-west latitude, maybe the position of the stars will not change.But this premise is that the ship and the stars move at the same rate and travel completely in the east-west longitude.

But that's simply not possible.

The east-west direction is a relative position.

Unless the ship travels exactly from west to east and moves at the same speed as the stars on the star map, it is impossible to see the exact same starry sky.

And now they are located between the Tropic of Capricornus and 30 degrees.It is impossible for this place to have an absolutely east-west route. After all, there are many reefs and islands here. No matter how big the ship is, it may run aground if it is not careful, which is very dangerous.

It is precisely because of the above reasons.

It was only then that Chu Zihang deduced that their ship was basically traveling in place and out of thin air.

But Dawn's words made him slightly taken aback. He didn't know what Dawn was referring to. Did he guess wrong about his purpose or something else?
Chu Zihang was now completely sure that they were trapped on this cruise ship, but Dawn's attitude made him completely unpredictable.

Dawn's attitude can be said to be very friendly, even if he exposed his true face again, he did not become angry from embarrassment.

What is his purpose?
Originally, Chu Zihang thought that Dawn would trap them on this cruise ship because they had been to the mysterious place of Utopia.That magical and strange island is obviously the site of the Mysterious Church. According to the follow-up explanations of Old Tang and Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang also roughly guessed that Utopia is similar to the existence of the Nibelungen exclusive to the Fool.

Generally speaking, the Nibelungen does not allow other people to enter. Although it is not sure whether Utopia is exactly like the Nibelungen, it is obvious that it is a very mysterious place.

Although it was a coincidence that they entered there, if they leave, they must report the situation related to Utopia to Kassel College.

Chu Zihang originally thought that Dawn was worried about these things.He thought that the other party was very afraid that Utopia's secrets would be exposed.

But now this weird situation.

He couldn't grasp it at all.

"It's not because of Utopia." Dawn smiled as if he could see Chu Zihang's thoughts, "Actually, if more people can go to that place, it's not impossible. Originally, Utopia was created because of hope. More people are able to go and make that city a real city. Only more people interacting in that place can there be a city in the spirit world.”

"Although you may not understand it so much, I still welcome you to go there very much. There is a lot of my hard work there. Although it is a copy, it still does not lose the charm of the original version."

Dawn seemed to be proudly introducing his own Utopia.

This made Chu Zihang and the others even more confused.

"Then why do you want to trap us on this cruise ship?" Old Tang finally couldn't help asking, "Since what you said, you don't seem to be worried about the secrets of Utopia being leaked out."

"Of course, if there are more utopian legends in this world, I will be very happy." Dawn explained with a smile, "But you don't have to be nervous, although you have been locked up on a cruise ship these days On, but in fact I don't have much malice, I just hope that you can escape this fate."

"What do you mean?" Now even Lu Mingfei could tell something was wrong, "What do you mean by avoiding this fate? Is it possible that something terrible will happen to us next?"

"Hmm..." Dawn thought for a while, "I don't know if you have watched the Romance of the Gods. Generally speaking, those who grew up in China must have heard or watched the list of gods, or come into contact with other derived products. "

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang nodded quickly.

On the other hand, Old Tang and Constantine showed a confused look.

Old Tang grew up in the United States, and he couldn't even speak Chinese clearly before, let alone things related to traditional culture.As for Constantine, Constantine hadn't been out of the cocoon for a long time, so he didn't know these things at all.

Moreover, "Fengshen Yanyi" is a novel written by people in the Ming Dynasty. Although some myths in it have prototypes, many of the contents are edited by later generations.

And Old Tang was still asleep in the cocoon in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the confused eyes of the two brothers Bronze and Huo, Dawn didn't explain anything in particular, but just continued talking.

"If this is the case, then you must also know that when the Conferring Gods List comes, the great battle between Shang and Zhou will be a catastrophe, even for those who have attained Taoism and become immortals. Therefore, before the catastrophe of conferring gods, Master Tongtian specially took care of them. My disciples don't go out, retreat and concentrate on cultivation, otherwise they will be involved in disaster."

"And the situation you are facing now is similar to the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods."

Dawn sighed, "If you return to Japan or Kassel College, you will encounter various dangers or troubles. In the eyes of Mr. Fool, you are equivalent to him. Apprentice, I want you to stay on this secluded yacht, away from the source of danger."

"This sounds so dangerous..." Lu Mingfei couldn't help muttering.

What kind of catastrophe is the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods? All the gods in it will be involved for various reasons, and in the end they all end up dead on the list.Even the saint's Tongtian leader couldn't be saved in the end.

Among them, Shen Gongbao's sentence "Fellow Taoists, please stay behind" can be called the number one killer of Conferred Gods, and all fellow Taoists who have been called out are on the list.

Lu Mingfei felt that he was so virtuous and capable that he could be compared with those legendary gods.

Is what this person said a little too exaggerated?

Chu Zihang pursed his lips and did not speak.

He didn't know why, but he actually kind of agreed with this point of view in his heart.Especially when Dawn said that they were equivalent to Mister Fool's apprentices, he was a little proud and happy.

This is what makes him a little confused.

Although he knew very well that there was a high probability that he had something to do with the Church of the Mysteries before, and he might have joined the Church of the Mysteries, otherwise, those gray fogs would not have appeared in front of his eyes.

But the current situation is indeed that his personal freedom is restricted.

Is it just because Mister Fool doesn't want them to participate?

"But in the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, even those gods who were ordered to join the battle of the Conferred Gods in the end, did they not escape the fate of being on the list?" Chu Zihang was very calm He said calmly, "If you say that we will be in danger on the way ahead and that it is the guidance of fate, then no matter what, even if you lock us up here, there is nothing you can do, isn't it?"

"That's not true." Dawn said calmly, "There is a sentence in the name of my lord, the beacon of fate. And your fate can be changed. You just need to wait, after the drama of fate is over, You can go back."

"How long will it take?" Lu Mingfei raised his hand suddenly, "You have to know that staying here has neither a game console nor an Internet, and you can't watch anime online. It's so boring. So how long do we have to wait before we can wait?" go back?"

"It will take about a few months." Dawn said with some uncertainty, "If the guests are bored, there is a special library on board, which houses all kinds of precious materials and books."

Because he really didn't know how long Adam's plan should take to advance.

Lu Mingfei revealed a look of despair.

A few months of isolation from the world, let him die.

This is simply a disaster for otaku.

As for Old Tang scolding him, it doesn't matter, although he is also an out-and-out homeboy.But don't forget that he is still a long-lived species. When he was Norton, he was still in the ancient times. In that era, there was no such thing as the Internet, and the only entertainment he could do was to fight and sleep, so he came here as usual. up.

A few months is nothing to his lifespan of ten thousand years.

And until now, he hasn't completely digested his past memories. It would be good if he was given a few months to slowly digest his ten thousand years of memories.

Not to mention Constantine.

And Chu Zihang is very interested in the library on the cruise ship.

Because of this, the only person persecuted in the audience was Lu Mingfei.

Maybe it was because Lu Mingfei's desperate expression was too obvious, so Collet walked to Lu Mingfei's side with a serious face, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I will come over to play with you occasionally."

"No!——" Lu Mingfei let out a shrill howl.

"Even if we are locked here, can you give me a computer or a game console?" Lu Mingfei looked at Dawn eagerly.

"Yes, yes, but you can't connect to the Internet." Seeing Lu Mingfei's pleading expression, Dawn agreed, "You can't have any interaction with the outside world, and other than that, I can agree to your requests. You can choose any game console, game cassette or any kind of food you want.”

Hearing such a generous offer from Dawn, Lu Mingfei felt shamefully moved.

He was just about to say yes.

But Chu Zihang coldly glanced at him, shut up and didn't speak.

Old Tang also shook his head at this time, and said with sharp eyes: "Thank you Mr. Dantès for your kindness, no matter what we have to go back."

"Even if the fate ahead is difficult and terrifying, it can't stop me from moving forward."

At this moment, Old Tang revealed the pride of belonging to the Dragon King.

Even if this trip will encounter danger, he will not be afraid at all. Anyone who escapes is just a coward, and everything, even fate, will be torn apart.

It is precisely because of this that he created the Seven Deadly Sins back then, with the purpose of pointing the sword at his brothers and sisters.

But now, it would be a joke if he hesitated just because of an illusory fate.

"I will never bow to fate." Chu Zihang also replied coldly at this time, "After that rainy night, I have already made up my mind."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and looked at Old Tang and Chu Zihang with firm expressions and strong aura.

Sighing suddenly, he scratched his head vigorously.

"Senior brother, what you said is so handsome, Old Tang, why are you like this..." Lu Mingfei shook his head vigorously, and his expression also became firm, and he looked at Dawn seriously.

"Although I think it seems good to be on this ship, I don't want to hide here just because of an illusory fate."

"I really want to make a change!" Lu Mingfei shouted forcefully.

He also chose to face fate head on.
