I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler - Chapter 811

Chapter 811 810. Windless Belt

Spread out on the slightly moldy tabletop is a map made of an unknown animal hide.

The dark yellow blueprint outlines the shape of a small area of ​​islands in the sea with ink and ink, and marks one of them. In addition, there are some suspected dirty spots in the corner of the map. The dots form a constellation-like pattern.

In addition to that, there are drawings of animals that look like they are marking danger.

It is very real at a glance, and it is identified as a treasure map.

In this era, there is no such convenient and efficient thing as satellite positioning in navigation, and the endless ocean is often unable to see even an island, so everyone relies on the positioning of the stars.

Compared with islands, reefs, and stars that may be deviated due to weather, they are the eternal map.

When the ship sails to the correct position, the stars in the sky will show the arrangement shown in this map, so this marking method is very practical.

“According to this drawing, we are about a week away from the location of the treasure. That sea area is not on the channel, and few ships pass by.”

The sailor in charge of navigation checked his chart and explained.

There are still many areas in this endless sea that human beings have not yet set foot on. Due to the factors of ocean currents and monsoons, most of the ship’s routes are fixed. In the waters outside the channel, there are either rocky reefs, unstable currents, or even sea monsters, which ordinary ships will not touch at all.

On Earth, most of the ships in the Age of Navigational Discoveries sailed along the edge of the continent, and few of them directly crossed the ocean. Those who dared to do so became the discoverers of the continent recorded in later history.

These unknown waters have also become a paradise for pirates. Many pirates will set up their nests and bases outside the waterway. Only the pirates know how to get there. It is for this reason that people like Captain Nagzheng want to hunt for treasures. .

“It’s just that that area is a windless zone, very dangerous.”

The navigators again pointed to their own charts.

This is where the island is different from the Earth.

The windless zone on the earth generally refers to the quiet wind area formed by geographical reasons near the equator and 30 degrees north-south latitude. Although it is said to be windless, there is still some breeze most of the time.

And the windless zone of Wajima Island is an area.

Some of these areas are only the size of a city, while others are vast. In these areas, there is not even a breeze. The air is absolutely still. Once a sail-powered ship strays into these areas, it will only lose power and eventually die in the sea. .

Therefore, most of the official nautical charts will mark the location of the windless belt, so that the ship can detour to avoid entering by mistake.

The location marked on this treasure map is in a vast windless belt, this area is even the end of the currently known sea area, and even the bravest adventurers have not visited.

In other words, the adventurers who dared to enter this windless belt have all been heard from and dead.

“I just said, there must be treasures in the windless belt!”

Changzheng was not discouraged by this, but became more and more excited.

“Ah Xiang, I said that there is treasure in Wufeng, right, you still don’t believe it, look at this treasure map!”

He said to his friend who was late and still had his mind on the fiddler crab, and patted his shoulder hard.

“But your treasure map is completely different from this one”

A Xiang spit out a sentence.

“What’s different!”

Changzheng took out the treasure map from his arms and compared the two.

His one, which looks like a child’s doodle, has neither the position of the stars nor the signs of the waterway.

Although these two treasure maps cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can also be said that they are irrelevant.

“Isn’t it quite similar!”

Changzheng is still stubborn.

“I paid a lot of money to buy this from an intelligence dealer. How could it be?”

“Listen, Nagamasa, even if this treasure map is real, why is it still here for us to find?”

A Xiang analyzed it again.

“This may be a trap. The sea area is too deep for ordinary ships to enter.”

“But doesn’t that mean these treasures haven’t been found yet?”

Changzheng asked rhetorically.

“If these treasures have been taken away, the treasure map will definitely be destroyed!”

“Uh, this”

A Xiang was at a loss for words.

“That seems to make sense.”

“Furthermore, aren’t we prepared for the windless belt this time!”

Changzheng said excitedly, and pointed to the pictures on the treasure map. Those creatures looked weird and didn’t look like ordinary sea creatures.

“Look, these monsters seem to be guarding treasures. You are also very interested, maybe you can become the first discoverer, and you can even name them!”

Hearing Changzheng’s words, A Xiang was also a little shaken.

He carefully looked at the drawings of the monsters, and although there were only a few strokes, he accurately drew the shapes of the monsters.

One of the monsters has many tentacles, like a giant squid, but under the tentacles there are crab legs and pincers.

The other is in the shape of a long snake, and its head is covered with bones, like a dragon.

The other one is like a sea urchin, full of spikes, but has an eye open in the middle of the body, giving people a creepy feeling.

These three monsters surround the island marked by the treasure point and seem to guard the treasure.

“Furthermore, Miss Shia and the others are very powerful, so we don’t need to be afraid of these monsters!”

Changzheng persuaded again.

aside, Lu Han and the others did not care about the disputes between the two, but focused on those monsters.

This monster looks a bit like the octopus that the leopard and leopard just squeezed out, but their appearance is definitely not what they can grow under normal circumstances, and they are obviously contaminated.

And there is no filth in Wajima, and the pollution level is not high. If such a cute-looking monster can appear, it must be a leakage of pollution.

Lu Kizuna’s mission is to witness the budding of the sakura. The sakura was planted to fight pollution. Therefore, wherever there is pollution, there is an environment for the sakura to grow.

What’s more, there are no familiar places in the charts that Lu Kian has seen. He has reason to suspect that Hejima has undergone tremendous changes before and after the planting of the gods, resulting in different areas where people live.

Therefore, no matter how the two quarrel, Lu Kian and Shia must go to the place marked on the treasure map to check the situation.

The big deal is to get a pirate ship and drive it by yourself.

As they thought, they also seemed to have come to a conclusion.
