infinite blood core

Chapter 438: Morning Prayer for Justice
morning.

The fleet of the dragon and lion mercenaries sailed on the sea.

The bow of the ship hit the tide, and the white sails were full of bulging.

Looking from a distance, the vast dark blue sea and the light blue sky interact with each other. Under the blowing sea breeze, the sailors are relaxed and happy.

Good weather doesn't just bring a good mood.

Navigating at sea, this means the most important one - navigation safety.

Two mercenaries stood on the side of the ship, and one of them threw a plank.

The plank was tied by a rope and slipped aft as soon as it fell to the sea.

The rope was also pulled by the wooden board, and it was continuously released.

The rope was unusual, with many knots tied in advance, equidistant and 23 feet 7.5 inches apart.

Another mercenary was holding an hourglass.

It takes 14 seconds for the hourglass to completely tip over.

Soon, 14 seconds passed, and the hourglass was dumped.

The mercenary counted the number of knots released on the rope, and found that there were 11 knots, with a little more distance.

With this data, they immediately ran to the captain's room and reported to the dragon man: "Master, the current speed is 11 knots."

The dragon man nodded and told them to back off.

He continued to bury his head in the table.

On the desk are common nautical charts, common compasses, starboards, scales and other nautical utensils.

"11 knots speed..." The dragon man dipped some ink with a quill pen, made some calculations on the parchment, and finally marked the position of the fleet and the current course on the ordinary chart.

The Dragon Man boy has been learning navigation for a while, and now he can use various testing methods and tools proficiently, and the calculation speed and accuracy have also been greatly improved.

"Look at the correct answer." The dragon man took out another map.

This is the magic item - the active chart.

This was bought by the dragon boy from the Double Eyes Island auction.

When the active chart was unfolded, he saw the mark of his fleet, advancing like a snail in a sea.

Regardless of the course, speed, and position, the difference is very small from what he calculated.

"My sailing skills should be considered qualified, right?" The dragon man smiled slightly.

With the activity map, the fleet can see key data such as position and heading at a glance, which is very convenient.

The compass in Cang Xu's hand is also very reliable, and can mark all directions in real time, including east, west, northwest, and so on.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish is the most convenient, with its own activity map and three detection methods. It is currently the most powerful reconnaissance unit for survivors.

Magic and alchemy are the most advanced technologies in this world.

But this did not mean that the basic navigation skills that the Dragon Man boy learned were useless.

Because in some special environments such as forbidden magic, these alchemy props will become invalid.Some hostile means will also interfere and mislead, and easily let the fleet sail into the ambush.

The navy of the Shengming Empire is equipped with active nautical charts as standard, but every measurement is still measured at the same time with basic navigation.

The dragon man put away the activity chart and started to eat breakfast.

Breakfast is very rich.

There are bread, milk, green vegetables, etc.

Because this is only the second day of sailing the outlying islands.

The food on board was still fresh.

After a while, the situation will get worse.

Fresh vegetables are basically difficult to preserve.

Magic and alchemy provide many ways to preserve food, and the most popular one is the fertile flower pot, a specialty of the Fertile Sect.

The soil in this pot is very fertile and can support the nutritional needs of vegetable cultivation in the long term.

Therefore, under the grand strategy of the empire's invasion of the wilderness continent, the Fertile Sect has developed a wave in the environment of the great development of navigation.

The second most popular is to create a cold environment to extend the shelf life of food.Some air-conditioning magic circles, frost magic circles, and some alchemy props refrigerators and freezers are all of this type.

One of the alchemy products on the Ice Sculpture Island that the Dragon-Lion Mercenary Group plans to go to is refrigerators and freezers. The effect has been well received by the market and is very popular. It is one of the major export commodities of Snow Elf.

But these two methods still cannot benefit the most seafarers.

There is only one reason - cost.

The cost of ordinary sea ships is spent on extraordinary seamen, navigation equipment, ship maintenance, etc., and enough food is enough.

In this regard, the investment cost, equipped with fertile flower pots, refrigerators, etc., will reduce the profit.

Captains or fleet owners don't choose that.

For this reason, the current situation is that after sailing for a period of time, most sailors will face the strange smell of fresh water covered with moss, the dry peas that they eat, and the dry bread that grows maggots after being damp and moldy.Sometimes caught bilge rats are a rare delicacy for sailors.

It is worth mentioning that none of the ships that the survivors secretly control have such means of preservation.

Ordinary sea ships will not have such expensive facilities.

The Tie Knot and the White Bandage are ships of the mercenary group, and they operate in the waters near Double Eyes Island.

Although the Deep Sea Monster Fish is as high as gold, it does not.

the reason is simple.

Even if the war monger uses this ship to sail the ocean, he also brings his own fresh ingredients.As a legendary mage, making water out of thin air and hunting on the spot can get the freshest ingredients, no need at all.

After the dragon man finished his breakfast, he walked out of the captain's room, went down the stairs, and came to the prayer room on the second deck.

This cabin was not originally used for prayer. Considering that the young dragon man and Chi Lai are both righteous believers, they were temporarily modified.

This is a glaring privilege.

There are only two of them who believe in the god of justice.

Most sailors worship the goddess of the sea, the goddess of luck, the goddess of wealth, and so on.

Among them, because the Shengming Empire lacks orthodox sea gods, there are many human sailors who believe in foreign sea gods.

In this extraordinary world, choosing the right gods to worship is an important measure to increase the chances of survival, which should not be ignored.

Apart from this prayer room, the entire fleet has nothing else.

Sailors have to pray, only on the spot.

The only prayer room was used by the young dragon man and Chi Lai.

But no one complained or objected to the situation.

This is the world of the strong.

It is very natural for the strong to have privileges.

"Captain." At the door of the prayer room, Chi Lai was standing, and he had been waiting for a while.

The dragon man smiled at him: "Sorry, it took a little time to calculate the course and position."

Chi Lai stood up straight, full of military style: "Waiting for Shangguan is the duty of subordinates."

The two pushed open the door and entered the prayer room.

In the middle of the prayer room, there is a statue of the God of Justice.

The statue is half a person high and hangs in a large niche in the wall.

The statue depicts the image of the God of Justice. He is a middle-aged man with a national character face.

He was dressed in armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

They are the armor of justice, the square shield of justice, and the long sword of justice, all of which are artifacts of the god of justice.

In front of the alcove is an offering table with candlesticks placed on it.

On the walls, the holy emblem of the sect of justice is depicted.

The sunlight penetrated through the porthole and was shining on the statue of justice, making the statue show a mighty aura.

Whether it's a god statue or a holy emblem, they're all ordinary items, and they're all made temporarily.

"The conditions are limited, so we can only simplify everything." The dragon man sighed and said to Chi Lai, "We lack an excellent alchemist."

"The magic ship can't really be transformed into a prayer room, and the golden cannon is damaged and can't be repaired."

Chi Lai was very satisfied: "Lord Head of the regiment, it is a rare treat for me to have such an environment to pray in these years. I am already satisfied!"

"Let's do morning prayers together."

The dragon man boy and Chi Lai knelt down slowly, their knees on the cold and hard wooden board.

If it is a sect of wealth, believers will have soft cushions when they kneel.But the sect of justice promotes an atmosphere of hardship.

The dragon man boy lowered his head and closed his eyes, thinking in his heart: "God of justice, my lord, you are a great god, a god worthy of praise."

"You uphold justice, defy power, and avenge the weak."

"Humble believers ask for your revelation, ask for your guidance, please tell me how to walk in the way of justice..."

Both were in silent prayer.

When Chi Lai finished his morning prayer, he found that the dragon man boy was still praying.

From his point of view, you can see the profile of the dragon man boy, his frown, and the way his lips move slightly when he recites reverently.

At this moment, Chi Lai's heart surged again in favor of the dragon boy.

The same belief makes Chi Lai feel very close to the dragon boy.

Although he joined the Dragon-Lion Mercenary Corps later, as a slave, he already regarded the Dragon Man boy as the closest person to him.

He did not suspect that the dragon man boy was acting in a fake role in order to gain his loyalty.

Because it is not necessary.

In this world of universal belief, it is very taboo to believe in other gods for this purpose.

The price is too high to be worth it.

The performance of the dragon man in the double-eye island melee was also witnessed by Chi Lai. When he saw the dragon man and Er Guazi fighting recklessly, Chi Lai was shocked and made the latter admit the strength of the dragon man from the bottom of his heart.

Although Zong Ge's fighting spirit has a golden luster, it is considered a quasi-golden level, but in Chi Lai's eyes, his combat power is not comparable to that of the Dragon Man boy.

The only deduction item is the youth's dragon status.

The Shengming Empire is the most powerful country in the world, with the strongest strength, making people honorable and generally looking down on other races.

Therefore, the intentions of Duo Tong and Tan Mo to recruit tend to be more towards the human race lion flag rather than the dragon suit.

However, Chi Lai came from the bottom and was framed by the imperial powers. The more hardships he went through, the more stubbornness and prejudice he could break.

This aspect has little impact on Chi Lai.

The dragon boy's prayer finally ended.

The two slowly got up.

Chi Lai took the initiative to ask: "Master, you seem to be confused. As a church member, I really want to give you a little help, even if it probably won't solve the problem, it's trivial."

For Chi Lai, it is rare to take the initiative to help.

He was sold as a slave and changed hands many times.

Although the time he had been with the dragon man was short, Chi Lai had a sense of belonging and wanted to help the young man in front of him.
