Extraordinary Sailing

Becquer, the capital of Phaletis, St. James's Palace.

call out! call out!

In the martial arts field dedicated to the queen, two beautiful figures in shirts and trousers turned into afterimages and the battle was in full swing. The swift swords in their hands pierced the air like a snake, sending out the horrible neighs of a giant python.

But magically, they never met each other from beginning to end.

The seemingly gorgeous and grand court dance steps, under the confrontation between the power of the great knight and the [Rose Swordsmanship], are hidden dangers, beautiful and deadly everywhere.

Especially the female officials who were serving around were shocked and sweaty.

However, both sides of the battle obviously still have more power. Under the 100% control of the physical body by the third-order great knight, the two really performed an elegant duet dance, and no accident occurred during the period.

"Well, Wella, come here first today."

The neighing sword light converged, and both sides of the battle stopped, and the squally wind around the two of them swelled and scattered.

Livina, who was still far behind her mother after all, gasped and sighed after returning the sword back to the sheath:

"It's a pity... no matter how strong the swordsmanship is, we will never be on the battlefield."

Isabella took the towel from the court lady and wiped the sweat on her forehead, ignoring her daughter's childish thoughts. As a king, there is nothing wrong with "forgetting the battle and being in danger", but when it is the king's turn to fight in person, this country should almost die.

After becoming a great knight and gaining a long life, he still practiced his sword without embellishment. The most important thing is not to continue climbing the fourth-order titled pyramid, but to keep oneself in the spirit of martial arts.

This continent has been disputed since ancient times. The rulers of all countries have a consensus: a nation that fears war, closes the country, and covets peace and enjoyment, will definitely decline under the attack of other warlike and adventurous nations!

At this time.

A tall, middle-aged man with a tall coat and well-dressed coat of arms with a noble emblem embroidered on the neckline approached, and said respectfully after saluting the two men:

"Your Majesty, the latest information has been sent.

The drought within the Kingdom of Ilya continues to worsen, but taxes have not been reduced, and farmers who have lost their livelihoods have begun to flood the cities on a large scale. However, administrative officials at all levels have long been infiltrated by the commercial aristocracy, and the contradictions have unsurprisingly begun to intensify...

The civilian areas including the capital Viana have been completely occupied. These commercial aristocrats who have emerged from the third-class civilians are well aware of human nature, and a huge force has been completely organized. Even the religious privileges of priests began to be questioned, and the people began to indirectly question the legitimacy of the royal family to rule the country.

However, in the past few years, in order to help the core knights gather enough resources for promotion, the Ilya royal family did a little too much of the domestic search when the control of overseas colonies declined..."

The main body of the aristocratic coat of arms of the middle-aged person is: blue representing loyalty and truth, red representing the perseverance and fortitude of soldiers, white horses ready for the monarch, and the unique sunflower on the right.

This is the hard-core royal knight of the Kingdom, the Marquis of Hanse, and the highest person in charge of the kingdom's intelligence department.

"Until now, the old fox who was not doing business for Enrique II all day, didn't he mean to ask the Alliance for help?"

After listening to the report from the Chief of Intelligence, Her Majesty's concern was obviously different. She sat on the chair next to her and picked up the fresh juice prepared by the female officials and asked him.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been completely closed at the moment, and no news can be heard at all, and even the circumstances of your excellency'Raging Waves' are totally unclear.

It's just a combination of various intelligence and speculation, and the general judgment should probably be in August, but I think it is absolutely impossible for the Ilya royal family and the King to just sit and wait for death.

Maybe he still has something to rely on for not asking for help for the time being? Or even asking for help shouldn't be when all the contradictions have not completely erupted. "

"Well, from now on, let's draw the elite from the fleets. Don't be caught by Hilius by surprise like the Benin naval battle. By the way, remember to be concealed."

Isabella took a sip of juice and gave an order to mobilize.

"Yes, my majesty!"

The Marquis of Hanse bowed deeply.

The last battle against Dahomey made Falettis and Tyro almost monopolize the slave trade in the southern continent. In this situation, even Hilius, who has been promoted to the empire, had to pinch his nose to tulips. Send money.

While the kingdom’s finances were extremely wealthy, the top powers, including him, also made a lot of money.

The fifty-eight seats surrounded by Her Majesty the Queen, no, it is the fifty-nine members of Parliament who are the real masters of this country.

War is never the end, but the benefit is!

......

Eternal white land.

In the howling of the cold wind, Anita and Olivia in women's hunting suits stared at Aiwen, who was watching the sky.

It is easy for them to come to the deepest part of the eternal white land, but the question now is how to find the North Pole in this frozen world, which is the intersection of the planet's rotation axis and this ice sheet?

The bright star closest to the pole is called "Cynosure" in this world, which means: eye-catching focus, attracting the center. In fact, it is the North Star as understood by normal people.

But the place facing this star is not the pole but the distance is very close. Similarly, the geomagnetic north pole that Ivan can clearly feel by relying on the "Life Magnetic Field" does not coincide with the true pole.

in fact.

To determine where the pole is, the simplest and rude way is to measure 90° north latitude with a sextant, but the error of this method is about ±0.2°～±1°, which corresponds to tens of hundreds of kilometers in reality.

A more accurate method is to take a camera and expose it to the starry sky near the north pole for a long time, and you will find that the photo is a circle of concentric circles. This concentric circle is the star track, which is the track left by the northern star when the planet rotates.

The center of the concentric circles is the "North Point of the Sky".

Then, stand on the sea surface and ice surface near the pole to measure the altitude angle of the "sky north pole". When the altitude angle reaches 90 degrees, the location of the station at this time is the north pole of the planet under your feet.

But now the polar circle is just in the polar day. When they avoided the freezing of minus 70° in winter, they also avoided the polar night and the sky full of stars, and many people saw the ultimate romance-the aurora.

but.

For Aiwen, who has a "data-based vision", things are not so troublesome, just look up at the sun and have determined the location of the north pole.

Hold your sister with one hand and hold Olivia with the other hand, and start [Translocation of King Car].

Sa--

The blink of an eye has come to a place twenty kilometers away in a straight line.

"Ivan, is this the North Pole you are talking about?"

Olivia looked at the ice sheet that was no different from other places, and couldn't feel the slightest abnormality.

"Well, at least for now."

Because the ice sheet is always moving, this large block of ice may no longer be the extreme in a few days. This place is almost meaningless, just like Kezhouqiujian.

But Ivan didn't have any other thoughts, he just wanted to verify what Jeros meant. In his concept, no matter who is going to do anything, there must be some driving force.

For adventurers funded by the state, overseas interests and the king’s orders are the driving force, but what about a powerful wizard like Gerlos? It can't be purely for hobbies, right?

That kind of "unexpected harvest" may be one of the driving forces.

Bang--

Aiwen took a stone stele carved with the "Tree of Life" from the [Witchcraft Garden] and set it on the ground. "Establishing a stele to record merits" is a common practice for all adventurers and a ritual to conquer unknown regions.

Suddenly, Ivan patted his head and thought of something.

Raising his hand gently, a large hole was quietly opened by the five-meter thick ice cube next to it. Another one-ton stone ball carved with "I come, I witness!" and the names of three people was thrown into the sea.

Afterwards, Ivan clapped his hands, turned his head to look at Anita and Olivia, and was about to ask them if they noticed anything abnormal, but his body suddenly stiffened.

because.

At this moment, with [real name] this "key" which is deeply connected to the root of the world, he suddenly felt something unclear, illusory, and crazily longing for spirituality in his body. .

Aiwen, who has been exposed to many high-end energy "powers", spiritual origins, names... but it is very clear that this is not a higher-level world origin, but a power that is closer to the awe of sentient beings like the "destroyer".

It's just a change of object, that is the attention from the "will of the world", and even to describe it in an Eastern term, it can be called "the world's favor"!

This is the unexpected gain that Jeros said.

"There is such a good thing? Is this because it conforms to the trend of great navigation? Great navigation! Great development! Great geographical discovery!"

The expression on Aiwen's face was wonderful, and the lightning flashed in his heart, and he thought of many things in a moment.

The meaning of Rogers' words should not only be to explore a barren land without human beings, but also to expand the concept of human beings as a whole, so that matter and spirit can blend together.

For example, in the original perception of everyone in the Old World, the entire world is the Nemansters and the Peacock Islands.

Then with the opening of the great nautical era, the geographic territory and the concept of human beings were successively extended to the Anuma people in the southern continent and the Atrian people in the new world.

In this process, it seemed that Sea Power Overlord Hilius rushed to the forefront every time he opened up.

"Supreme Knight", "Steel Furnace", "Fire of Thorns", "Bone Shattering Hammer", except for the "Supreme Knight", the ancestor of the Supreme Swordsmanship founded by the Royal Family of Sirius, the remaining three are all sailing After opening, it rises like a comet.

Because the "titled knights" can obtain power from their names, they or the officials behind them never begrudge the "titled knights" for their great achievements, and it is a big book.

It is not difficult to find out that both "Fire of Thorns" and "Steel Furnace" both have the resumes of great navigators, and even the most inelegant "Bone Fragment Hammer" has the experience of being a sea hunter.

To say that there is no relationship at all, I don't believe that I will be killed.

Many scholars have once verified a question: Since they are both Nemansters, their innate endowments must be similar. Why do the Hilius claim to be invincible in close combat and become the overlord of the sea age?

In the past, Ivan, like most people, believed that apart from the fact that training methods and management concepts were really advanced, the most important reason was that they searched the world for resources to support their troops.

With ample supply of resources, even if the population base of Hilius itself is not dominant, the source of energy is endless to cultivate extraordinary people at all levels far exceeding the number of others.

However, the use of resources for accumulation below the third level is indeed applicable, but under the thin population base, four titled knights have been produced, which cannot be explained by resources.

Looking at this kind of "world favor", in fact, the greatest benefit of Geographic Discovery has been eaten by them!

Aiwen also knows that in the last trend "Renaissance".

While the church is fighting endlessly with wizards, a group of demigods in their back garden have sprung up because of human desire for "Renaissance" and "mind liberation".

Some of them were born directly from human beliefs, and some were promoted from the pinnacle of transcendents. In just two hundred years, more demigods appeared than in the past few thousand years.

Human belief is one aspect, but what is more essential is: "Push the trend, and the world favors!"

He was also aware of the side, but far from Anita and Olivia, who were keen high-level wizards. Aiwen murmured: "It looks like we will be an adventurer in the future!"
