Ella's body sat up from the bed. She was possessed and touched her face. When she touched the black beard, she angrily pulled it off. Then, she lit the oil lamp beside the boat and looked at her appearance in a basin of clear water. The exquisite facial features reflected in the water made her very satisfied.
"I really don't know what the owner of this body thinks. He has to wear a fake beard with such a beautiful face."
She touched Ella's cheek, felt the soft skin with her fingers, and nodded with more satisfaction. Then she moved her hand up and touched Ella's hair. The sudden roughness made her eyes widen in disbelief. She touched all of Ella's hair, shaking her head repeatedly:
"Why is this hair as rough as a porcupine? Why is the King of Sweden so wasteful?"
She took a breath angrily. She simply couldn't stand hair like this.
"It's better to finish things quickly and return to Janus' body."
With this thought in mind, she hurriedly got dressed, went out and walked to the deck.
On the bow of the ship, the Maid of Liberty burned like a torch in her hand, shining brightly in the dark night. The pirates on duty on the deck were not very surprised when they saw Ella coming out - Ella always came to the deck early these days because of poor sleep.
In addition to the pirates on duty, Estrade and Ulf in the staff were chatting quietly in a corner of the ship. Seeing Ella coming out, they bowed slightly to greet her, and then walked towards Ella.
"King of Sweden, are you still awake?" Ulf, who was originally born as a centurion, said first, "Estrade and I can't sleep either, and we are discussing our future plans!"
"Plan?" the spirit asked, "Do you mean to deal with the spiny ray or the many-legged monster?"
"Spine-spine rays and many-legged monsters?" Estrade asked doubtfully, "Haven't we already come to the sea area where these two monsters are infested?"
"The sea area with many legged monsters has also come over?" Ella was surprised, "Then we are going to conquer the evil dragon next?"
Estrade and Ulf looked at each other.
"King of Sweden, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the potion given by Lübeck? Whether it's spiny rays, big sea worms or many-legged monsters, haven't they all been confirmed by you to be rumors? In this case, the same sea The evil dragon marked on the picture must not exist, right?"
Ella herself knows this, but this is the first time the spirit possessing her has heard of it. She had been moving around in the body of Janus, and all she knew was that the King of Sweden wanted to take a route to Vinland that did not go through Iceland and Greenland. As for the specific situation of the route, he only knew the information that the commercial spy got from Gotland - the route chosen by the King of Sweden had to pass through the activities of spiny rays, sea worms, many-legged monsters and evil dragons. sea area.
Lübeck did not have a sextant, so it was impossible to locate itself. None of the monsters in the intelligence showed up, and their sailors were already panicking. Now I suddenly heard that none of those monsters existed, so how could the spirit body not be surprised?
But he was surprised. The spirit soon realized that there was a huge gap between the information he had and the other party's. Seeing that Estrad and Ulf dared to take the initiative to talk to Ella, and claimed to be discussing future plans, she already knew in her heart that these two men were senior officers in the army. She decided to get all the information through these two people before implementing her plan.
"Of course I know these things. But as senior officers, you must know our current situation well." The spirit said, "Put everything you know now and what you plan for the future in front of me. Tell it again. I want to see how much you know about military affairs."
Estrada and Ulf looked at each other and thought to themselves that the King of Sweden's test was coming again. They still remember the fact that Dast was promoted to deputy chief of staff because he was the first to make suggestions.
Although Ulf was originally just a centurion, he was a student of the academy and had a wider source of information than Estrada, who was born as a general but had never been reused due to Ragnar. Estrade was still thinking, and Ulf rushed to answer: "I sorted through the information before our voyage and found that there were a total of three sources - Aztlan narratives, sea charts, and "Ideal" The account of Atlantis in "The Kingdom"."
Among these three sources of information, the spirit body only knew the sea map. She had never come into contact with the Aztlan people. Although she had heard of "Utopia", she did not bother to read such a useless book. She wholeheartedly thought that the destination of this voyage was Vinland. This was the first time she had heard of the term "Atlantis".
"What is Atlantis?" she asked, interrupting Ulf.
"It's the legendary sunken continent." Estrade seized the opportunity and replied, "If we want to go to Vinland, besides Iceland and Greenland, Atlantis is the third known transit point. We and Ulf were just planning how to quickly establish a base on Atlantis and incorporate it into the territory of the Pirate Kingdom. Although it has not been mentioned to us, it is not possible to leave the already mature Iceland-Greenland route. Let’s go and explore this strange sea. King of Sweden, you must have this intention, right?”
Only then did the spirit understand that Ella's purpose this time was not simply to trade in Vinland. When Estrade asked, she had no other choice but to pretend to know everything and nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Estrade's proposal was approved by Ella, Ulf became anxious and rushed to say:
"I analyzed the three sources of information: Atlantis was not originally marked on the sea chart. Since the monsters on it are not credible, they are of no use at all; Plato, the author of "Utopia", is also the author of "Utopia". The author of the chart has never been to the North Sea, and the content of the description is nine thousand years earlier than the author's own time. It is even more untrustworthy than the chart; the only thing that can be believed is the Aztlan people's narrative, They personally rested on an island, but even if that island exists, it shouldn't be an extremely huge continent like Plato said. I'm worried that it's just an ordinary small island, not enough to serve as a base for our group of thousands of people. A transit point for the military.”
"Small island? Does that mean that if we continue sailing like this, we are likely to miss this 'Atlantis'?"
The spirit seized the opportunity and said:
"In that case, then pass on my order: let the sailors of Lubeck return to their respective ships, and as an exploration team, spread out to explore the location of Atlantis for us!"
