Chapter 1122 Chart
"Morik, are there any results in the pilot room?" "
Your Highness, although the sea conditions are good, after the world changes, no matter how good the crew is, there is no guarantee that they can determine the route conditions as before. Unless... you agree to use prophecy magic here?"
"..."
"I believe in you, and I also believe that they can open up a path from the unknown and confusion. For prophecies, let's leave it to the big guys behind."
Bridge in the room above.
Claudia is having a conversation with her knight.
Her Royal Highness obviously does not want to send some negative information to her subordinates, but judging from the actual situation, both of them are aware of the difficulties they are facing in the current voyage, but no one said anything in the atmosphere of tacit understanding.
In mid-June, it had actually been less than a week since they left [Nikos].
But the difficulties of the long voyage began to really show up at this time.
As the owner of the maritime canal, [Nikos] is almost a watershed in national strength. As we sail further south, the level of civilization in many countries here plummets, and it can even be said to have fallen!
Although [Grader] also has charts of these areas and has even established several colonies.
However, due to such a backward environment, even the best sailors did not dare to be familiar with the Southern Hemisphere and its waterways.
There are very few ports with clear locations, very few people familiar with sea conditions, coupled with changes in the world, and poor communication links here.
The final result is a linear increase in navigation difficulty.
But this is what the fleet must face.
Because this voyage, apart from the name of conquering the remnants of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], the hidden purpose was to open up a waterway.
This is a difficulty that must be overcome.
Morik resumed his life and left. Claudia sat in her seat, looking into the distance through the glass on the bridge.
The sea was calm as usual, except that through the glass on the bridge, the color of the sight was slightly off.
To be honest, Claudia didn't like it very much.
Because of my position as a princess, the bridge here is actually decorated with stained glass that is not strong enough, and even requires special practitioners to maintain it.
It's ostentatious, wasteful, and doesn't look interesting.
If you can shift this kind of strange expense to really important projects, it will definitely be more reliable than decorating yourself.
"..."
"Your Highness, there is news from below that Mr. Ronald has left the second ship and is coming to us."
While Claudia was deep in thought, her knight interrupted the silence again.
After completing his mission, Morik returned to the bridge, bringing with him the latest news and questions:
"So, do we need to make some preparations?"
"Ronald..."
Claudia thought for a moment.
The Ronald in her impression was not a nobleman who only wanted to cling to the powerful every day, nor was he a socialite who liked to socialize with others.
This is a caster who is accustomed to being alone and quiet, and even the scope of interpersonal relationships is only maintained to a limited extent.
It is almost impossible for Ronald to go out of his way to find him without a reason.
There are certainly conditions that make this necessary.
Coming to a conclusion in her heart, a slight smile immediately appeared on Claudia's lips.
"Has Ronald had any contact with other people before coming here?"
Morik had already understood this, so he replied without hesitation:
"Mr. Ronald went with the holy priests of the church. After lunch, there was no interruption except for asking questions, and he came directly to us." After
asking and answering questions, Claudia quickly made a decision.
"Morik, you can go down below and continue the navigation work in a moment. Ronald and I will talk alone." The
loyal knight naturally lowered his head immediately and exited the bridge.
"Everything is as you wish, Your Highness."
...
Then Claudia asked the others to step back.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the bridge, and Claudia heard the sound and understood who it was.
Confident steps - this person is by no means a weakling.
Hard-soled boots - People on Ship 1 are almost all wearing standard clothing, and the type of shoes will not make such a sound.
It only took six steps from the stairway to the bridge—he was at least 1.77 meters tall.
The only person who meets these conditions is the expected visitor.
So before Ronald knocked on the door, Claudia confidently invited her:
"Ronald, come in, the door here is unlocked."
"..."
Ronald opened the door and came in. Looking around, Claudia was the only one on the bridge.
So he joked:
"If I remember correctly, I didn't knock on the door or introduce myself, right?" "
How did you know it was me?"
"This is a lady's secret." Claudia followed suit. It was a joke. The two people who had been friends for a long time didn't have too many twists and turns, so Claudia spoke directly, "Ronald, you don't seem like the type who likes to come to my place." "
That Saint Caihe A priest came to my place after dinner. He must have something to do, right?"
With no outsiders around, Ronald replied straight to the point:
"I do have something to do here."
"Claudia, are you here? Did you encounter problems on the voyage?"
"Difficulties do exist, but they are not problems yet." Claudia shook her head in denial, but her tone was firm, "Before setting sail, I already knew that this voyage would not be that simple. "
After denying this, Claudia still sighed.
The princess turned to look at the sea outside the window, and began to complain to her friend about her dissatisfaction:
"But to be honest, I never thought I would encounter so many things."
"Capone's sea monster, [La The ruins of [Qimont] and the raid by [Nine Rings Secret Society], these things happen in a reasonable way, and I can understand the cause and effect. But this frequency is really a bit high." Claudia's complaint,
and The mentality of Ronald, who has been involved in various incidents, is completely consistent. So when he heard the girl's dissatisfaction, he almost subconsciously sighed:
"It seems that it's not easy for you."
Claudia spread her hands like a lady:
"What can I do about this? Just treat it as a test for me by my mother. .”
Ronald followed the topic and took out the map he had prepared:
"Speaking of this, this is actually why I came to you. I can probably provide some help in navigation..."
Claudia looked at into Ronald's hands.
During this period, because of her exposure to maritime navigation work, she was very sensitive to charts and maps, so she immediately recognized what Ronald was holding with just a simple sweep.
"This is the map!!!"
Claudia jumped up unladylikely, and then directly snatched the map from Ronald's hand.
Then she lay on the table on the bridge to study the treasure. Claudia was barely distracted and asked Ronald:
"Ronald, what do you want, just tell me."
Ronald was very happy. Understand Claudia’s directness and attitude.
He happened to have something to do at the moment, so he spoke simply:
"Claudia, I have been writing a book recently..."
