Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Hans worked as a navigator on the ship.

That's Nami's profession in One Piece.

During the Age of Exploration in the Middle Ages, before setting sail, sailors would study nautical charts together with the captain and plan the best route based on monsoons, ocean currents, and other known information.

During the voyage, the ship's position was constantly determined and marked on the nautical chart. At the same time, detailed log entries were kept, including heading, speed, wind direction, water depth, and land features seen. These records became valuable navigational data.

If someone in this profession feels uneasy or suspicious, it means they've encountered something unusual.

Xu San, of course, wouldn't ignore this, so he walked up to Hans and said, "Brother Hans, what's on your mind?"

Hans looked at the starry sky, sniffed hard, and said, "The wind smells different. In my experience, the weather should be changing. Judging from my past experience, a storm should be coming soon."

Xu San also looked up at the starry sky, "Really?"

“I’m not sure!” Hans said, “but this starry sky doesn’t seem like it!”

"Why?" Xu San asked.

"It's so clean! There isn't a single cloud!"

After listening, Xu San also looked at the deep starry sky in the distance and felt that what Hans said seemed to make some sense.

Hans sniffed hard again, "It's almost here, almost here. If I'm not mistaken, the storm will be here in less than an hour."

Less than an hour?

"Hmm, maybe ten minutes, but no more than an hour." Hans looked at the starry sky again. "But I feel like there's something wrong with this starry sky too."

"What's wrong?" Xu San asked.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it always feels a bit off and awkward."

"Then that's it. She also said there's a storm ahead. If we just get through it, we'll reach the island." Just as the two were talking, Huanji suddenly appeared beside them and spoke. She!
Naturally, this refers to Queen Himiko.

That queen who seemed to be able to control the storm.

So, this means we're about to face a storm.
It might be related to this queen!
wrong!

As an atheist, Xu San naturally wouldn't blame the storm on the Queen.

"Ask her if she can still control the storm?" Xu San leaned close to Huan Ji and whispered in her ear.

"She said no, the ritual implements weren't with her."

"Where is the magic artifact?" As Xu San asked this question, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Huanji said, "She said it's in that person's hands."

Then, Huanji added, "That person is the first mate of this ship!"

"I knew it!" Xu San muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and began to weigh the pros and cons.

After a moment, he asked again, "What does that magical artifact look like?"

“It’s a black box.” Huanji said without hesitation, then gestured with her hand.

Square, a few millimeters thick.

Xu San's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "That weather-controlling machine, could it be a smartphone?"
Seeing Xu San's somewhat strange expression, Huan Ji asked, "Do you know what that thing is?"

"Hmm, maybe, probably, if it really is that thing." Xu San continued to frown. "If it really is that thing, I don't know what to say!!" (End of Chapter)
