Chapter 1050 Map
Chapter 1050 Map
Not long after Chen Cheng walked out, Jelinek chased after him.
Because she is a half-elf, her figure and appearance are impeccable, and living by the sea also gives her a wheatish complexion.
So when she ran towards Chen Cheng, she looked like a mature and sexy woman.
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute, guest."
Hearing what Jeremy said, Chen Cheng stopped. She ran up to him and apologized.
“I’m sorry, sir. Sasha and the others may have startled you. I heard you were asking about ocean voyages, and I happen to know a little about it. If you don’t mind, please sit down and listen.”
Chen Cheng felt that these words sounded so familiar. The Sasha sisters had just said the same thing, and then, as they sat there, they almost became heartless men.
However, this village chief, Jeline, is probably not that kind of person. After all, the fluctuations of her cultivation level are quite strong, and she is at least a late-stage epic-level expert.
Upon arriving at the village chief's house in Jelina, the first thing you see when you enter is a world map of this world.
This was the first time Chen Cheng had ever seen a world map of this world; in the past, he had only seen maps of parts of the world.
Standing before the map, Chen Cheng examined it for a moment, then asked:
"Where did you get this map? Is it still available for sale? I'd like to buy one to carry with me."
He discovered that this world map depicted the world's major mountain ranges, rivers, and ocean currents in considerable detail; at least the Southwood Mountains and the glaciers of the North were quite accurate in his knowledge.
Jelinea brought over a bowl of tea, and as she placed the teacup down, she said:
"This is not for sale. This map was compiled and drawn by our village over the years based on inquiries from maritime trade caravans from various places and records from some elven sisters who returned from their travels."
And this isn't even a complete map. If new caravans have different geographical information, we'll inquire repeatedly, and we'll also ask our traveling elven sisters to calibrate it for us.
Chen Cheng truly never expected that the half-elf from this small port village would actually think of drawing a world map.
This was not Chen Cheng's arrogance. If it were a map of the ocean currents of this world, Chen Cheng might be able to understand it, but this was a world map that included the continent.
This doesn't seem to have much impact on their production and daily life. On the contrary, in this era, drawing an accurate world map would require a long time and a huge amount of money.
Chen Cheng voiced his question, and Celebena smiled and replied:
"The guest's considerations are truly profound. I don't know why he drew such a map in the first place, but I do know the reasons behind it."
Although it takes a long time and a huge amount of money, the elven sisters who set out from here can gain a general understanding of the outside world.
Our map doesn't need to be very useful. Its greatest purpose is simply to remind the elven sisters who are going out that there are dangerous places, to provide them with some assistance, and to help them complete their travels smoothly.
Furthermore, we also produce separate nautical charts for these ships, which we can sell to passing merchant fleets.
The two chatted for a long time and became quite familiar with each other. At this moment, Jelinek pulled out a slightly yellowed and brittle nautical chart from the house.
Unfold the nautical chart, and you'll find a very detailed world nautical chart.
This is different from that world map, which only has an overview of ocean currents and nothing else about the world's oceans and distant seas.
Detailed geographical markings are only found within a few hundred nautical miles of the coast.
This nautical chart, however, records the world's oceans in detail. At the center of the chart is a huge icon resembling the eye of a giant tornado.
The icon is labeled with a name – Qu Jing.
With such an eye-catching icon, Chen Cheng, being of sound mind, spotted it immediately.
"What is this curved landscape? Could it be a huge storm zone in the world's oceans?"
Although Chen Cheng didn't understand much about it, he had heard of it in his previous life. It seemed that super typhoons were given a code name.
Looking at the ocean current markings here, it's clear that this area is where ocean currents from all over the world converge, and where powerful ocean currents collide, that's where huge typhoons and storms are formed.
However, Jelinek shook her head and said:
"There is no wind here; in fact, this is the calmest place in the entire world."
A realm of curvature is a special existence; it could be a door, an island, a continent, or even a world.
As long as ocean-going ships encounter a curve, they can quickly cross the world's oceans and reach the other side of the world.
Upon hearing Jelina's introduction, Chen Cheng was immediately interested.
He's currently short of time, and if he could use this winding path to quickly cross the World Sea, that would be ideal.
However, Jelinek's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
"But for thousands of years, no ocean-going ship during the imperial era wanted to encounter Qu Jing, because he would only leave the ship behind and take everyone on board with him."
"Someone checked the ships that came out of the Curved Realm, and nothing inside was touched, nor were there any signs of violence. It was as if people were busy on the ships just a moment ago, and then everyone disappeared in the next instant."
It is precisely for this reason that many people believe there might be a new world within the Curved Realm, and that the sailors were taken to that new world where they lived a blissful, paradise-like life.
Hearing words like "disappearance," "new world," and "paradise" gave Chen Cheng goosebumps.
Because these words combined together make you lose sanity the more you look at them, don't you think?
"Alright, alright, you can stop now."
Chen Cheng took a deep breath and then continued to ask:
"If we don't go through the winding path, and instead travel at full speed on the magic ships here, I wonder if we can cross the World Sea in a month and a half?"
There were only a little over two months left before the House of Representatives, and this month and a half was the time Chen Cheng had set for himself to travel.
He had initially thought of using the teleportation array, but the church later taught him a lesson.
Therefore, we can only rely on sea travel for the time being.
Jelinea had never undertaken a long-distance voyage across the World Ocean, since the Empire had sealed off the World Ocean by the sea creatures.
Then Chen Cheng saw Jelinek take out a bunch of professional nautical charts and rulers and begin to make calculations based on the old nautical chart.
Looking at her final result, Jeline shook her head and said:
"Even if we travel at full speed day and night, it would still take at least half a month, and that doesn't even take into account the possibility of a large-scale attack by the sea creatures."
If we encounter sea creatures along the way, the journey will take even longer.
