Chapter 239 The Perfect Creature
Facing the obvious deterrence, a group of restless sailors also secretly let go of their thoughts, and stayed in the cabin respectfully until Tang Zhao and the main force successfully merged.

After all, this is different from the modern world. Tang Zhao can rationally understand the motives and behaviors of these people, and is absolutely disgusted rationally. No modern normal person would like the existence of human traffickers. For these human beings, Tang Zhao didn't have a particularly good attitude towards these people.

Basically, they are placed under house arrest on the few cargo ships in the middle of the fleet, and the food and water supply is only above the horizontal line, so they will not die of starvation.

As for Tina, she seems to have more moral integrity than Tang Zhao, who is half a modern person. After learning about the mermaid, she righteously expressed her deep hatred, her eyes were red, she looked extremely angry, and almost didn't attack on the spot.

The classification of dragons is not just interesting, it has practical significance. The characters and positions of dragons of different races are very different.

The real body of this person in front of him should be a silver dragon, and his sense of justice is obviously stronger than that of blue dragons and green dragons. Although he is probably quite greedy for money like all dragons, he can always say "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way". They will not rob and plunder casually, and will even actively resist such behaviors.

After repeatedly persuading Chen Lihai, he managed to save all the sailors from Yinlong. Tang Zhao called the previous captain and looked at him calmly.

[My promise, I have already fulfilled it myself, the next step is up to you, there is no need to bargain, you must know the rules of the sea better than me. 】

It can be clearly felt that the captain's heart is quite entangled now, but there is no way, now they are just meat on the chopping board, without the initiative, they can only follow Tang Zhao's requirements.

Back on the dilapidated ship, the captain took out a long scroll of sheepskin from the interlayer of the lower deck, and showed it to Tang Zhao respectfully.

"In addition to the technology of the guys, this is our biggest reliance. It is said that it is the old sea chart of any country in the past. We are right. Most of the content on it is still correct today. You can use this map to circle around. Sail across the continent."

This man was cautious, for fear that Tang Zhao would kill the donkey, but Tang Zhao didn't do that.

[I will check bit by bit, I hope what you said is true.The matter of Haitu will be written off with the fact that your men were rescued by me first, and neither is owed.Next, call out all your navigators. I need someone who is familiar with astronomy and geography to help me with something. I will provide compensation, such as a ship to go home, or a customs clearance document to go home through the inland. 】

The southwest direction of Tang Zhao's territory is the territory of the dwarves, and the dwarf territory is a distance to the west, bordering the empire, and basically under the control of Tang Zhao and his allies along the way.

So as long as Tang Zhao thought about it, they could indeed go home safely, but as long as he didn't want to, there was a possibility of accidents on the way.

The captain from a country thousands of miles away must not know so many things, but it didn't prevent him from letting out a sigh of relief—at least for now, his life was saved.

After getting the chart, the first step is of course to compare and verify the navigators on your side. Both humans and dwarves lack experienced navigators, but fortunately, elves have good sailing experience, and there are still many experienced navigators left. At least, this time Julia hired several elves to sail with the fleet.

After researching for a long time, I probably came to the conclusion that the sea chart should be real, but it is still not a detailed map of trade routes. It did not mark the location of every hidden reef, water source, and food source. Just a rough idea is far better than nothing.

Judging from the various details in the footnotes on the map, the elves believe that this is a map from the end of Ostia, made by humans, and certainly not a real antique with a history of more than 1000 years. It is probably reprinted somewhere in later generations.

It doesn't affect the use, and Tang Zhao doesn't care about the specific origin of the map, it's a good thing if it can be used.

Next, Tang Chao is only responsible for making suggestions and implementing them, and he does not decide on major matters.

Tina asked the administrator beside her: "How long will our supplies last?"

"Water can be solved by magic, and food can last for two or three months."

The elves gave Tang Zhao the technology to make elf bread, which can also come in handy at this time. A piece of bread can supply a soldier or sailor’s needs for a day, just like compressed biscuits, a food that saves space and is rich in energy. And the taste is not bad.

"Lanbas (the official name of bread) don't move. Afterwards, we will go to the shore to rest and exchange supplies with the nearby mermaids. Let's solve the problem first by combining the exchanged food with the catch."

After giving an order, she looked at Tang Zhao with great interest: "You had friendship with the mermaid before? That's just right. I haven't been here to see it. It's a special experience."

……

Their purpose is not to do business and trade, so there are not many high-value trade goods in reserve, most of them are survival materials, but they can still gather a lot of things for trading.

Mainly iron weapons and healing potions, as well as a small amount of paper and fruits, which are very valuable here, because the fundamental purpose of sailing is not to make a profit, so the fleet is very generous, and the price is very random. Get some sea specialties and survival supplies.

The amount is not large, and Tang Zhao regards it as a gift to each other and a symbol of friendship.

After solving the slave trader, the leader of the mermaid kept his promise and invited Tang Zhao to the celebration banquet.In addition to myself, there were also Tina and the dwarf messenger, etc., and there were five or sixty people in total.

The banquet showed the sincerity of the other party—it was not held below the sea surface, but held on the island, with bonfires and various delicacies full of specialties: shellfish, fish, crustaceans, unique plants and fruits of the island, and even some Seabirds can be regarded as doing their best.

Tang Zhao's attention was naturally focused on food first, but unfortunately, lizards' sense of taste is quite different from that of humanoids. They usually use their sense of smell rather than taste to perceive taste, and their sense of taste is far from developed.Therefore, when he eats, he has a slightly tasteless feeling. There is no rich flavor stimulation, he is just eating, mainly to fill his stomach, and secondly to accumulate energy for evolution.

He suddenly felt a little envious of Tina, and seeing her calm and unhurried appearance, he knew that the dragon's sense of taste was quite rich, so there was no problem.

The giant dragon is such an unfair creature. It is almost perfect from multiple angles, and it seems to exist only in imagination. Apart from personality flaws, Tang Zhao did not find any substantial shortcomings in this creature, from appearance to ability. It's not enviable.
