The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Uh..." Magellan's face instantly became stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Because he also knew that it was indeed as Sauron said, the value of the [Compass] was far beyond the scope of what money could measure.

Especially in the field of navigation, the compass plays an extremely important role and has epoch-making significance.

Of course, this is what Magellan thought without knowing that Soran could properly mass-produce the [Compass].

"Baron Soran, is this [Compass] an enchanted weapon?" Magellan asked with an obviously depressed tone.

After realizing that he could not possess it, Magellan could only continue to look at the compass with a sad face!

Since he can't own it, he can just look at it a few more times, which is at least okay!

"Uh~ It should be considered an enchanted weapon!" Soran said with a somewhat uncertain tone.

After all, when he made this [compass], he also used the magical metal material of magnet!

Weapons made of magic metal are enchanted weapons, and magic metal is used in the manufacturing process of [Compass]!

So rounding it off, [Compass] is an enchanted weapon!

The [Compass] was made by Sauron, so if we round it off, Sauron is equal to the Iron Knight!

Hmm~ the equation holds, nothing wrong!

……

"Alright! Alright! Magellan, quickly put away that nagging look of yours! It's too annoying!"

"Baron Soran has already said that he will lend us this [Compass] when we go out to sea to carry out our mission this time!"

"After we officially go out to sea, you can study it slowly!"

Looking at Magellan with a resentful expression, Sir Colbert beside him already had goose bumps all over his body!

So he showed a look of disgust on his face and shouted at Magellan in a bad mood.

When Magellan heard this, the sad expression on his face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look full of joy!

The speed at which he changes his attitude is even faster than turning the pages of a book!

"Really? Baron Soren? Is what Sir Colbert said true?" Magellan asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Soran nodded.

"Wow! Thank you so much, Baron Soren!"

"With the help of this [Compass], it will be much easier for us to carry out our mission this time!"

Magellan could hardly conceal his excitement and joy. He was as happy as a child who had received candy.

Because as the deputy leader of this sea expedition team, he can also know the specific mission content of this sea expedition in advance!

So he also knew that this sea mission was not easy!

……

"Magellan, do you want to get this [Compass]?" Soran suddenly asked.

"Yes!" Magellan answered almost without hesitation.

"Okay! Just what you want!" Soran sighed.

Then he smiled and said: "Magellan, if you can complete the mission successfully during this sea expedition, I may consider giving you this [Compass]!"

"Really? Baron Soran is kidding, right?" An indescribable look suddenly flashed in Magellan's eyes!

It seems to be a surprise, but also seems to be unbelievable!

"Really! I, Baron Sauron, never lie!" Sauron said firmly.

When Magellan heard this, he immediately became serious!

He first straightened his whole body and performed a very formal, standard and solemn knight's oath to Soran!

Then he solemnly promised: "Dear Lord Baron Soran, please rest assured that I will do my best to complete this mission excellently!"

Soran showed a satisfied smile and nodded slightly to show his approval: "Okay, Knight Magellan, I look forward to your performance! I wish you complete the mission successfully and return safely!"

Over there, Sir Colbert frowned unconsciously. He always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong!

So he could only wonder inwardly!

……

But in fact, when Soran expressed his intention to give the Compass to Magellan, there was actually a special purpose behind it.

Because from the moment he used the Arcane Spiritual Eye to see Magellan's special talent for the first time, Soran had already made up his mind:

No matter what the cost, he would bring Magellan under his command!

Even if Magellan is now Countess Curtis's subordinate, it won't work!

[Talent: Sailing and Exploration, Direction Judgment]

Perhaps only Soran knows about this special talent. Once he and others officially migrate to the sea, what great role he will be able to play!

And in the upcoming Age of Discovery, how brilliantly will he shine!

Maybe the Magellan of this world can also become the Magellan of that world!

Anyway, no matter what, this is a top talent that even a higher-level knight cannot exchange for!

Therefore, it is no wonder that Sauron wants to hold him firmly in his hands!

Even when he has no other choice, he would resort to such extreme measures as "humanely destroying it if he can't get it"!

..............................

A total of five ships were used for this sea expedition by the island expedition team!

These ships have a unique design and are overall long and narrow. They are about 20 meters long and around 3 meters wide.

Moreover, these ships still use the most primitive artificial power.

Of course, Sauron definitely doesn't know how to build a ship!

But Soran still knew some basic principles related to ships that used sails as propulsion!

So if he could pass on these basic principles to the master craftsmen in the shipyard!

It is also possible for those skilled craftsmen to manufacture this kind of ship that uses sails as propulsion!

It’s a pity that time is running out and it’s definitely too late to manufacture it now!

So everything can only be put on hold!

Let's wait until the shipyard is moved to the Antilles and stabilized before we deal with this issue!

It didn't take long before all the supplies the fleet needed were successfully loaded on board and the final inspection was completed!

The island expedition team was also ready to set sail!

Soran stood on the dock, waving goodbye to them and wishing them a successful mission and a safe return!

It is worth mentioning that Countess Katis did not come to see him off this time.

Because the latest news from the front line has come from the southern border of the kingdom: The Kingdom of Essex has begun to divide its troops into two groups, cross the border, and fight on two fronts, attacking the Kingdom of Midburg and the Principality of Glia at the same time!

As a great noble of the Kingdom of Midburg, Countess Katis is busy enough to be exhausted by the tasks of mobilizing troops, deploying strategies, preparing supplies, and ensuring logistics!

So how could she have the mood to come and see off the island expedition team!
