April 11, 1145, the New Demon Era:

I finally applied for the qualification to explore the route. Of course, I had expected this result and was not surprised.

Tanzantrez is a place with abundant mechanical alchemists. It has a strong scientific research atmosphere, but it lacks the adventurous spirit that an island country should have. This reward order has been issued for more than three months, but no nobles have been calling for corresponding calls in China.

As a member of the Archipelago Alliance, it seems a bit uncooperative if you don’t send a heavy noble to participate in this matter. So at that time I smelled the smell of opportunity. The heavy nobles didn’t want to participate in this kind of adventure, but the empire must give the alliance a face. In this country, who seems a bit heavy but in fact irrelevant, who else can be there except for the guy who has the royal bloodline but is excluded?

May 7:

Although I started preparing three months ago, I still didn't have enough time. Through various lobbying and exhausting all my wealth, I finally arrived at the two advanced large ships, Victory and Triumph, and collected enough supplies.

Of course, the sacrifice was quite large. All the things that could be sold at home were sold, collectibles, equity in tobacco companies, and the fields of Sicilyril, including the most profitable shops in my life. I almost didn't leave anything to my wife and children, like a gambler who gave all his money, but I believe I will succeed. Today's efforts are to make her the necessary setbacks of the Duchess. I will not forget my wife's efforts to me, including her accompanying the disgusting seafood merchant for me!

Oh my God, that guy with a squid smell, Yetina's efforts are really too great

May 10:

After hiring enough people, my two ships were finally ready to set sail. I hesitated for a long time that day. I even discussed with Yetina to let her sail with me, but she said she could not let the children take risks and decided to stay and raise the two children for me.

I guess I must have saved the world in my previous life, otherwise how could I marry such a good wife? I swear that when I return from wealth, I must compensate her for her grievances a hundred times a thousand times

When I saw this, a group of people looked strange, especially Goudan, who pointed to the virtual screen and said, "I Goudan knew that he was a loser. I didn't expect that he would even sell his wife. How dare you remember such embarrassing things in your diary?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly

Lei Xue sighed and looked at everyone. The world's gossip can really offset all horror things. Now you are in this situation. You are still interested in caring whether others sell their wives.

Then he ignored everyone and continued to read the contents below

Most of the contents afterwards were some boring daily life at sea and the guy’s longing for his family. Lei Xue frowned and quickly flipped through it, and finally saw what he wanted to see in January of the following year.

January 1, 1146, the New Demon Era:

This day was originally Tanzantrez's Recovery Festival. Tanzantrez, which started with agriculture, attaches great importance to this spring recovery festival. In order to keep the crew's mind, I decided to hold a celebration to increase morale. I hope the new year will have a new beginning.

The celebration was scheduled at twelve noon. We were preparing to have a party all day to vent the boring days at sea. Of course, we had to clean up the feces and urine on the deck, which affected the atmosphere a little. There was nothing we could do about it. The only ones who could have independent toilets on the ship were the captain and Dabi, and everyone else could only solve it on the deck.

In order to make it lively, the celebration was set on the wider deck of Triomphe, and I took out the sausages and my wine on the boat. Since it was a celebration, I tried to do it better.

As a result, as soon as we arrived at the Triumph, someone reported that there were a lot of floating ice in front of us.

This news immediately extinguished my enthusiasm for hosting a banquet

January 2:

We went around this floating ice domain for almost a whole day, but the size of this ice domain was beyond my imagination, giving people a sense of boundlessness. We couldn't get around until dark until it was dark

At that time, I even had the illusion that we were going in the wrong direction, is it the east side or the north and south polar regions?

How could it be that there would be such a large ice field?

Finally, I knew we could not continue like this because we were deviating from the predicted route. If we were going around, we would probably take a lot of time to go back to that route.

Moreover, I have been wandering on the sea for more than half a year. Considering that the prediction is about half a year, the materials will be a little tight if I go by, including not encountering other special circumstances.

So I suggested crossing this floating ice domain directly!

After the proposal was put forward, it was opposed by a large number of people. Among them, the captain of the Triumph was the most opposed. He thought it was too risky. It was very difficult to travel through this large ice floating domain. Once the propeller was broken by the ice blocking card owner, it was very likely that the power system of the shipbuilding master would be damaged. This was not the worst. If the temperature inside continued to drop and the ice floating domain became a solid ice domain, they would be trapped inside. At that time, it would be really not effective!

I scoffed at his statement. Sailing is a risky thing. How can you achieve success if you want to be safe in everything? If the prince I supported before could listen to his decisive wave, maybe there would be another chance to fight for, instead of waiting for death there slowly.

After several arguments, they both said they were dissatisfied with each other, but they were the highest commander of the ship, and in theory they could make a decision directly. In the end, Sean (the captain of the Triumph) proposed to divide the troops into two groups, and the Triumph, which had strong ice breaking ability, was responsible for crossing the ice domain, and the Victory, which had strong power, continued to detour!

This will ensure that at least one ship is safe!

I initially opposed this proposal, but this was obviously Sean's final bottom line. Although I am his commander, I am a down-and-out royal family and my prestige among sailors is obviously not as good as Sean, who has many years of experience in sailing!

Finally I accepted his proposal, but made a little modification.

His suggestion was that he would lead the Triumph to try to cross the ice domain, and I would lead the Victory to take a relatively stable detour route.

The seemingly loyal decision made me smell the scent of conspiracy. I thought to myself: What if this ice domain was not as severe as the other party said?

He easily traveled over and arrived in the Eastern Continent one step ahead of himself. After obtaining information and opportunities, he might have all the credit. Wouldn't he be a wedding dress for others?

Of course, it is not allowed to change it to let himself take risks and let him turn back and operate the Victory detour, because once the ice domain is really so dangerous, the Triumph cannot come out inside, and all his efforts will be owned by him.

After much thought, I decided to take the Triumph with Sean to the ice domain and take risks, and let my trusted adjutant Poly act as the captain of the Victory, telling him that if he fails to come out of the ice domain, he will remember to take care of his wife and daughter after he returns.
Chapter completed!
