Extraordinary Sailing

Bekele, the capital of Phalatis, St. James's Palace.

call out! call out!

In the training ground exclusively for the queen, two beautiful figures in shirts and trousers turned into afterimages and were fighting in full swing. The swift sword pierced through the air like a snake in their hands, and let out a terrifying neigh like a python spitting out a letter.

But miraculously, they never met together from beginning to end.

The seemingly gorgeous and grand court dance steps on the surface, under the confrontation between the power of the great knight and the [Rose Sword Technique], hides danger everywhere, beautiful and deadly.

Especially the female officials who were serving around were terrified, and all of them were sweating.

However, the two sides in the battle obviously still have enough energy. Under the 100% control of the body by the third-order great knight, the two of them seemed to have danced an elegant pas de deux, and no accidents occurred during the period.

"Okay, Wella, let's get here first."

The neighing sword light receded, and the opposing sides stopped in their tracks, only then did the gust of wind around them scatter away one after another.

After all, Liwena, who still has a big gap with her mother, panted softly after sheathing the sword and sighed:

"It's a pity. No matter how strong the swordsmanship is, we will never be able to go to the battlefield."

Isabella took the towel from the court lady and wiped the sweat from her forehead, ignoring her daughter's naive thoughts. As a king, it is not wrong to "forget the battle and be in danger", but when it is the king's turn to fight in person, the country is almost doomed.

After becoming a great knight and gaining a long lifespan, the most important thing for him to continue practicing swordsmanship is not to continue to climb the fourth-level titled Transcendent Pyramid, but to keep his martial spirit in mind.

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

At this time.

A tall, well-dressed, middle-aged man with a noble coat of arms embroidered on his collar leaned over, saluted the two of them solemnly, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the latest information has been sent.

The drought within the Kingdom of Ilia continued to intensify, but taxes were not cut, and farmers who had lost their livelihoods had begun to flood into the cities on a large scale. However, administrative officials at all levels have already been continuously infiltrated by commercial aristocrats, and the contradictions have begun to intensify as expected.

The civilian area including the capital Vienna has completely fallen. These business aristocrats who have risen from the third-level civilians are well versed in human nature, and a huge force has been completely organized. Even the religious privileges of the clergy began to be questioned, and the people began to indirectly question the legitimacy of the royal family's rule of the country.

However, in the past few years, in order to help the core group of great knights gather enough resources for promotion, when the control of the overseas colonies declined, the search for the country was indeed too much."

The main body of the aristocratic coat of arms on the middle-aged man is: blue representing loyalty and truth, red representing the perseverance and fortitude of a soldier, a white horse representing being ready for the monarch, and a unique sunflower on the right.

This is the Marquis of Hansa, the hardcore royalist knight in the kingdom, and the highest head of the kingdom's intelligence department.

"Until now, Enrique II, that old fox who has been doing nothing all day long, has no intention of asking the alliance for help?"

After listening to the intelligence chief's report, Her Majesty's attention was obviously different. She sat on the chair next to her and picked up the fresh juice prepared by the ladies and asked him.

"Your Majesty, at present the palace has been completely sealed off, and no news can be spread at all, and it is not even clear what is going on with His Excellency 'Raging Waves'.

It's just a guess based on multiple sources of information, and the general judgment time should probably be in August, but I think it is absolutely impossible for the Ilya royal family and His Majesty the King to just sit and wait for death.

He didn't ask for help for the time being, maybe he still has something to rely on? Or even asking for aid should not be when all the contradictions have not completely erupted. "

"Well, let's start to recruit elites from each fleet from now on, and don't be caught off guard by Sirius like the Benin naval battle. By the way, remember to be more concealed."

Isabella took a sip of the juice and gave the mobilization order.

"Obey, my lord!"

The Marquis of Hanse bowed deeply.

The last war against Dahomey allowed Phalitis and Tyro to almost monopolize the slave trade in the southern continent. Send money.

While the kingdom's finances were extremely rich, the top dignitaries including him also made a lot of money.

The fifty-eight, no, already fifty-nine members of the upper parliament who are surrounded by Her Majesty the Queen are the real masters of this country.

War is never the goal, profit is!

Eternal White Continent.

In the howling cold wind, Anita and Olivia, who were wearing women's hunting suits, stared at Ivan, who was looking at the sky.

It is easy for them to come to the deepest part of the Eternal White Continent, but the question now is how to find the North Pole in this frozen world, that 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: attracting attention, attracting the center. In fact, it is the North Star in normal people's understanding.

But the place facing the star is not the pole but just a short distance away. In the same way, the geomagnetic North Pole that Aiwen can clearly feel by relying on the "life magnetic field" does not coincide with the real pole.

actually.

To determine where the pole is, the simplest and crudest way is to use a sextant to measure 90° north latitude, but the error of this method is about ±0.2°～±1°, which may be dozens or even hundreds of kilometers in reality.

A more precise 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 stars in the northern sky when the planet rotates.

The center of the concentric circles is the "north pole of the sky".

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

But now the polar circle happens to be in the polar day period. When they avoided the severe cold of minus 70° in winter, they also avoided the polar night and the sky full of stars, as well as the ultimate romance in the eyes of many people-the aurora.

but.

For Aiwen, who has a "digital vision", things are not that troublesome. He just looked up at the sun and determined the position of the North Pole.

Holding my sister with one hand and holding Olivia with the other, I activated [Robot Shift].

Sa——

In the blink of an eye, he had come to a place twenty kilometers away in a straight line.

"Ivan, is this the North Pole you mentioned?"

Olivia looked at the ice cap, which was basically the same as other places, and couldn't feel the slightest abnormality.

"Well, at least for now, yes."

Because the ice sheet is always moving, it may take a few days for this large block of ice to cease to be the pole. This place is almost meaningless, just like seeking a sword in a boat.

But Aiwen didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to verify what Jeros's words meant. In his view, no matter what kind of person is going to do something, there must be some kind of driving force.

For state-sponsored adventurers, overseas interests and the king's orders are the driving force, but what about a powerful wizard like Jeros? It can't be purely for hobby, right?

That "unexpected gain" may be one of the driving forces.

Bang——

Aiwen took out a stone tablet engraved with the "Tree of Life" from the [Witchcraft Garden] and stood it on the ground. "Setting up monuments" is a common practice for all adventurers, and it is also a ritual for conquering unknown regions.

Suddenly, Ivan slapped his head and thought of something.

Gently raising his hand, the five-meter-thick ice beside him quietly opened a big hole. A stone ball weighing one ton engraved with "I come, I witness" and the names of three people was thrown into the sea water.

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

because.

At this moment, with the help of [real name], the "key" that is deeply connected with the root of the world, he suddenly felt something inexplicable, illusory, and crazily longing for something around his body. .

Aiwen, who has been in contact with many high-end energy "powers", spiritual sources, and names, knows very well that this is not a high-level world source that can enhance spirituality, but a power that is closer to the awe of all beings like "Nation Destroyer".

It's just a different object, which is the attention from "the will of the world", and even using an oriental term to describe it can be called "the attention of the world"!

This is the unexpected gain that Geros said.

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

The expression on Ai Wen's face was wonderful, and there was a flash of light in his heart, and he thought of many, many things for a moment.

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

For example, in the perception of all the people in the Old Continent, the whole world is the Nimmansters and Peacock Islanders on the land under their feet.

Then, with the opening of the Age of Discovery, the concepts of geographical territory and human beings were successively extended to the Anuma people in the Southern Continent and the Atrians in the New World.

And in this process, every development seems to be the sea power overlord Cyrus rushing to the forefront.

"Supreme Knight", "Steel Furnace", "Fire of Thorns", and "Bonebreaker Hammer", except for the "Supreme Knight", the ancestor of the royal family of Sirius who created the supreme sword technique, the remaining three are all in the great voyage After opening, it rises like a comet.

Because of the characteristic that "titled knights" can gain power from their names, they or the officials behind them have never been stingy about the great achievements of "titled knights", and they are special books.

It is not difficult to find that both "Fire of Thorns" and "Steel Furnace" have the experience of great navigators, and even the most inelegant title of "Bonebreaker Hammer" has the experience of traveling across the world as a sea hunter.

If it is said that there is no relationship at all, I would not believe it if Ivan was killed.

Many scholars have once researched a question: Since they are all Nymansters, they must have similar innate endowments. Why do the Cyrus claim to be invincible in melee combat and become the overlords of the age of sailing?

In the past, Aiwen, like most people, believed that in addition to the advanced training methods and management concepts, the most important reason was that they searched for resources from all over the world to support their troops.

With a sufficient supply of resources, even if the population base of Sirius itself is not dominant, it can continue to cultivate supernatural beings of all levels far exceeding the number of other families.

However, it is indeed applicable to use resources to accumulate below the third level, but under the thin population, four titled knights have been produced, which cannot be explained by resources.

Judging from this kind of "world favor", in fact, the greatest benefits of the great geographical discovery have been eaten by them!

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

While the church and wizards were fighting endlessly, a group of demigods sprung up like mushrooms after rain because of human's desire for "Renaissance" and "mind liberation".

Some of them were born directly from human beliefs, and some were promoted from the peak of extraordinary people. There were even more demigods in just two hundred years than in the past few thousand years.

Human belief is certainly one aspect, but a more essential explanation should be: "Push the trend, and the world loves it!"

Looking at Anita and Olivia, who were also aware of it, but far less keen than the previous wizard, Ai Wen murmured: "It seems that we must be adventurers in the future!"
