The equipment needed for star positioning is very simple, a sextant for navigation will do. It seems that sea navigation on the mainland should have originated in the era of the ancient Nethereal Empire of Magic, but the difficulty is worlds apart. After all, the former only needs to know the direction, while the latter needs to know the exact location.Of course, the main difficulty lies in the complex calculations, which even a fifth order magician would be helpless to solve, and a tenth order magician would get a headache just looking at them. But for the time traveler Christine it was no problem at all.The others gave the Baron their full respect as he scribbled and drew on the paper: "I can't read it anyway, so I'd better stay away."After all, they had already arrived at the scene, so it was much easier to observe and calculate within a general area. The results were ready in about two hours, and the laboratory was on the hill in front of them."Follow me," Christian ordered.I

Apart from the three large islands, the rest of the territory of the Duchy of Vende is a peninsula with a southeastern part connected to the mainland, the connection being even narrower than that of Brittany.The duchy has two major harbors. The port of Aarhus, located in the northeast, is a purely military port. The fleet anchored here is mainly used to intercept the scattered Orcs crossing the Öresund, and the fleet of the Benelux Duchy, which comes to support in times of war, also docks here.The Port of Esbjerg is located in the southwest of the Duchy of Vende and is a trading port. Since the orcs do not have the technology to build sea ships, it is impossible for their large rafts and canoes to reach here. The environment is very safe, and the duchy's capital is also located here.Of the three main islands, except for the island where the Fionnese Viscounty is located, which is relatively close to the mainland, the remaining islands, where the Stokkese and Roskilde Viscounts are

The carriage entered a mansion and stopped in front of the main building. Christian got out of the carriage.The servants, led by the butler, bowed and said, "Greetings, Baron Stewart.Lord Oliver Berger came over and introduced himself, "Baron, this mansion is rented by the Gold Coin Chamber. Please feel free to ask the butler for anything you need."It turned out that this mansion belonged to a hereditary honorary viscount. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce went to the door to rent it, and then renovated it and rented it to foreign nobles. The reason for not buying it was that the Church and its affiliates were not allowed to own more than the limit of land written in the "Pact of the Gods"."Okay, thank you, Lord Oliver." At Christine's signal, Elena handed over ten gold coins."Thank you for your generosity, Baron. If you need anything, you can find me at the port office. I'll be leaving now." Oliver Berger, having received his reward, left happily.Looking around, he saw that the

The Benelux countries lie to the north of the Kingdom of France. The two countries share a short land border. This country has a long coastline and an area of about twelve counts. Of these, Archduke Philip directly controls four counts and the rest are granted to more than 30 barons.Archduke Philip is of the divine bloodline of the Sea God. Therefore, most people in this country believe in the Sea God. The shipbuilding and maritime industries are particularly developed. Although it is a principality, it has a naval power not inferior to that of a kingdom, and it is also an important force against the orcs crossing the sea to the south.The principality's navy is very strong, with over 8,000 men. It has six four-masted warships, ten three-masted heavy warships, fifty two-masted light warships, and over a hundred single-masted patrol ships. As for the Principality's army, its main task is to maintain law and order.The principality relies heavily on maritime trade for its income, and f

Although Christine has recruited shipwrights since inheriting the title, they can only build dhows, coastal freighters, and fishing boats, let alone warships. For now, all they can do is cut down as many of the giant trees suitable for shipbuilding as they can, and then dry them to store materials for building larger ships in the future.The three-masted sailing ship in their hands can sail as far as the Principality of Wendel, but it is not safe because it is a merchant ship.There are fundamental differences between the design and structure of warships and merchant ships.The former are sturdy and can withstand minor collisions, while the latter have more space and can carry more cargo. The former emphasize maneuverability and mobility, while the latter can be controlled with a minimum crew. In other words, for ships with the same three masts, warships can sail much faster than merchant ships. That is why Christine hopes to find a warship, so that if they encounter danger at sea, th

Dominaria City, Mage Tower Keep, Main Building.Elena entered with a man and reported, "Baron, Randy Reed is here."Greetings, Baron," Randy Reed greeted with a bow.Although he was the second son of a noble, he was a commoner, so Christine did not have to respond to Randy Reed's bow."You said you had a treasure map to give me?" Christian asked directly."Yes, it's the one the thief stole," Randy Reed said, pulling out a map drawn on a monster skin."Since your brother was willing to hire a thief to steal it, I assume this treasure map is very valuable and you are willing to give it to me?"It turned out that the thief was sent by Randy Reid's brother, but as a wild professional, he did not fully realize the power of the Mage Tower like the Thieves' Guild, and thought he could escape immediately after killing someone."My Lord Baron, even though my brother failed to steal the treasure map this time, I don't think he will give up. Since I cannot decipher the secret of this treasure ma
