The cold sea wind howled over the galleon, pushing it swiftly across the water with its powerful gusts.
From time to time, Yue Yun would check their latitude and sailing speed, then mark the ship’s exact position on the sea chart.
Since they left the estuary and sailed into open sea, Yue Yun had been comparing the coordinates along the route. This journey was a test from Xiao Ming—to see if they could navigate and reach Dengzhou using only their knowledge of navigation, even far from the coastline.
“Your Highness, we should be about ten li away from Dengzhou.” After three hours at sea, Yue Yun entered the cabin.
The galleon was designed with all the living spaces inside the cabin.
Having rested for a while in one of the rooms, Xiao Ming rubbed his eyes and got up.
He glanced at the chart Yue Yun brought over. Yue Yun had been marking the route with dashed lines during their journey, and now they were about to reach Dengzhou from the estuary.
Although Yue Yun’s understanding of navigation was crucial, the detailed sea chart provided by Xiao Ming was equally important.
Even the Western world at this point in time couldn’t produce sea charts this accurate.
“We should be close to Yutai Village, right? You better treat me to some fresh fish when we get there,” Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Sailing on the sea was rough. The wind-powered warship rocked violently with the waves, making it hard to keep anything down.
