Aztec Eternals

v1 Chapter 769: Sailing in the extreme north, six tests

The sun is warm and warm, and the lake is calm and flickering. Under the warm and sunny sky, the two young divine priests imagined the gloomy cold wave and huge waves, and their expressions became dignified.

"Lord God! Go north at 50 degrees north latitude, thousands of miles away!... Is there the end of the world? What a terrifying appearance?!"

"Zuvaro, don't think about it yourself. You see, what the land of the extreme north looks like, His Majesty has written it in the prophecy!"

As he spoke, the knowledgeable Mickey showed reverence and chanted devoutly.

"...From the fourth leg of the voyage onwards, the exploration voyages are generally north of 50 degrees north latitude. You need to face extremely low temperatures, polar waves, channel ice fog, polar day and polar night, periodic freezing, cold waves and snowstorms. ..About six celestial tests of the main gods!..."

Hearing these unexplained and terrifying words, the second-level priest Zuvalo trembled all over his body. In his keen perception, he has already sensed that something is going to happen... But the matter has come to this point, with a heavy burden on his body, but there is no way out at all, he can only move forward with one heart!

"Witness of the Lord God! The first test is the extremely low temperature! The further north you go, the colder the temperature will be. Before you leave the ice-free port of 'Seattle', you must prepare thick fur coats and multiple preserved fires , there is still enough firewood and coal fuel... Well, there are multiple pieces of full-body cotton armor, which are on the fleet, and they can also be used for emergencies! As for more details...you can go to the local tribal people and learn from them ..."

"Of course, the best way is to spread the belief of the Lord God and form an alliance with the local tribes... Then, pull the local fishermen on board. These local tribes, who are familiar with the extreme northern climate and coastal hydrology, will be your best helper!"

"Huh? Extremely low temperature? How low will it be?"

Seeing this, Zuwaro's eyes showed doubts, and he thought about it. For those Prepeca people who were born in the tropical plateau, the lowest temperature imaginable is the ice and snow on the Yanfeng Mountain and the Star Mountain. And unless they experienced it themselves, they would not be able to imagine what the severe cold in the extreme north was like!

"However, the Lord God blesses you! How about recruiting local tribes... I have a lot of experience in this regard..."

"Praise the Lord God! I am willing to stand your test and never regret it until I die!"

The mind of the knowledgeable Mickey is much simpler. No matter what difficulties he faces, as long as he obeys His Majesty's revelation, firmly believes in the protection of the Lord God, and faces the difficulties, it will be fine! Thinking of this, Mickey's eyes sparkled, and he continued to read.

"The second test is the big polar wave. This kind of big wave is very big and high, even higher than the city wall of Qincongcan City! ...The reason for its formation, um, should be the collision of cold and warm ocean currents! As for the specific cause... you must learn to think for yourself and penetrate the fog of the world!"

"...In any case, don't be afraid when you encounter polar waves! Don't stay away from the coast and island chains, and don't go deep into the ocean! You should build more shelters on the route, use insulating wood and stone, or dig semi-underground The shelter, and then in the shelter, store food and fuel as much as possible... As for how to repair the shelter, I still say that, learn from the local tribes, or directly pull them on board..."

"Building docked shelters? Storing food and fuel?  …"

The second-level priest Zuvalo pondered in his heart. If the environment is really so difficult, I am afraid that the size of the fleet will be reduced in the second half of the voyage. Perhaps, two or three ships will be the limit of supplies. The other ships have to go back and forth from the rear to transport supplies.

"The third test is ice fog in the channel. During the second half of the voyage to the west, you may encounter ice floes on the sea surface and dense fog. The causes of these two should also be... well, cold currents It is related to the warm current... By the way, I remembered! When you go west, there should be a warm current going along, and the speed of the boat will be faster. Of course, when you come back, it will be slower... Well, This should be!"

"...Blessed by the Lord God! Our ship is relatively flexible and has a shallow draft. When encountering ice floes, we must avoid it as soon as possible, and when encountering heavy fog, we must stop as soon as possible... So remember! Again, do not leave the coast where you are instructed to sail and Island chain, build more shelters along the way, and bring locals who are familiar with the environment on board!"

Seeing His Majesty's instructions, Zuvaro thought for a while and asked.

"Mickey, the wise man, in the whole world, is there a ship with a draft deeper than the long ships of our kingdom?"

"Ah? If our longship is fully loaded, the deepest draft can be two meters... In the whole world, it should be the deepest draft!"

The knowledgeable Mickey thought for a while, and added another sentence.

"However, His Majesty received divine revelation, and must have seen a deeper ship! What His Majesty said is naturally true!"

"Uh... Praise to Your Majesty, praise to God!"

The second-level priest Zuvalo bowed his head and prayed. Then, impatiently, he looked down again.

"The fourth test, polar day and polar night. This is a strange celestial phenomenon! You have all learned the calendar of the alliance, and know that from spring to autumn, the days are longer, and the longest is in the polar summer; from autumn to spring, the night is longer. Longest, the longest time is in the extreme winter... And the further you go north, the greater the difference between day and night! Even, when you reach about 60 degrees north latitude, you can be in the "extreme summer", Seeing all daylight, there is no darkness. And in the 'extreme winter', seeing all day darkness, there is no light at all..."

"Don't panic, don't be afraid! The Lord God testifies that no matter the extreme day or the extreme night, it's just a strange celestial phenomenon, which recurs in the extreme north every year! Its cause is... well, the sun god's periodic patrol, from the northern From the sky to the southern sky...Oh, if you are lucky, you can still see the colorful aurora at night! Scattered in the air like ink, it is extremely beautiful..."

"And what I want to tell you is to try to start the most difficult westward voyage from spring to autumn, March and April to September and October! Because you need vision to go along the island chain... Similarly, there is another crucial reason, which is the cycle freezing that I will talk about next..."

After reading this, the knowledgeable Mickey and the second-level priest Zuvalo looked at each other, both of them were shocked. In the mythology of the alliance, the celestial phenomena always correspond to the human world, heralding the fate of the respected ones! And what does the extreme day and night, and the colorful aurora indicate?

"This is the test of the Lord God, and it is also her attention. At the end of the world, waiting for God's revelation!"

The well-informed Mickey sums it up succinctly. Whatever these celestial signs mean, it should not come out of their mouths.

"Praise the Lord God! She has infinite power, even if she is thousands of miles away, even in the nine heavens!"

Second-level priest Zuvalo also prayed aloud. Then, the two nodded, and when they looked down again, they felt more of the awe and caution of the myth.

"The fifth test is periodic freezing. The sun brings warmth, while darkness brings coldness. During the second half of the voyage, there will be periodic freezing along the coast, which is similar to the change of day and night, roughly from autumn to spring... As for the specific You should ask the local tribes about the time. Your exploration should be from spring to autumn, when the days are longer, the weather is warmer, and there is no freezing season! And the shelter is built to let you, when it is freezing , there is a place to shelter from the cold and keep warm, and to supply food...Remember, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com don't rush, take your time, and make enough preparations!..."

"As for the last test, the cold wave and snowstorm. This is due to the cold air suddenly descending southward in the extreme north... well, it is the northern continent, and a terrible disaster has come! In one night, the snow can even be as high as a person, and the vegetation Everyone will be frozen to death, and those who are exposed to the outside will freeze to death... And the time for this climate to come is roughly at the same time as the freeze. Therefore, it is up to you to store enough fuel and food to survive the long winter life and death!"

After reading this, both of them gasped at the same time. The second-level priest, Zuvalo, closed his eyes and prayed from the bottom of his heart for a while before mustering up his courage again. And the knowledgeable Mickey gritted his teeth, and looked at His Majesty's final warning with sincere faith.

"...Remember! In the second half of the voyage to the extreme north, you will encounter a lot of terrible weather that you have never seen before, or even unimaginable! The test of these main gods is likely to exceed my revelation and everyone's. It is expected. And the best way for you to deal with it... is to convert the local tribes, save their souls, and let them join the fleet!..." "The Lord God bears witness! The tribes in the extreme north are our earliest separated brothers. They have gone through thousands of years in the test of the Lord God! The experience they have passed down from generation to generation will definitely save your lives, and make this difficult and unusual search for divine revelation possible to succeed!"
