Doomsday Code

Chapter 1051 Preparations for Setting Sail

Hearing Jelena's explanation, Chen Cheng frowned. At that moment, Jelena rolled up the old map and said:

"If the guests are really in a hurry, they can ask the elders for help. Perhaps by paying a price, they can get the major powers to provide assistance with the ancient teleportation array."

Jelinea was unaware of Chen Cheng's situation. She simply assumed that something serious had happened to Chen Cheng's family, and that the journey was too long, which was why he was planning to cross the World Ocean to get back.

Chen Cheng simply smiled upon hearing this, offering no explanation, and then stood up, saying:

"I have a favor to ask. I can figure out a way to handle the safety issues, but I would like to ask for your help with navigating the ship on the open sea."

None of Chen Cheng's team members knew how to sail. Without a skilled captain and navigator, even with their great abilities, they would likely get lost at sea.

It might sound counterintuitive, but with no shelter on the open sea, how could anyone possibly get lost?

However, the reality is that the ocean is vast, and it is not land; it has ocean currents. As ships sail, these currents also move the ships.

At the same time, because the world is a sphere, due to curvature, once it deflects even slightly, it will be completely off-center.

Jelinek is also an adventurous person. The land route, which has been cut off for hundreds of years, has now been opened up. If she can open up the world sea, which has been closed to navigation for hundreds of years, then history will definitely record her achievements.

So Jelinek agreed without even thinking.

"Well, there's one more thing. Sasha and Lina are both on my crew, so I'm afraid..."

"It's nothing, just don't blame Sasha and the others for leaving without saying goodbye."

Chen Cheng certainly wouldn't make things difficult for anyone in this matter, so he set the nature of the situation first to avoid any misunderstanding from Jielina.

After receiving Chen Cheng's agreement, Jelinek extended her hand and said:

"Then wish us a safe voyage."

Chen Cheng shook hands with her and returned the gesture.

After setting the time for the sea voyage tomorrow, Chen Cheng came out of Jielina's room.

As he was about to leave, Jelinek went inside and retrieved the hand-drawn world map, then handed it to Chen Cheng, saying:

"Here's a map for you; consider it a return gift for hiring us."

"Don't be shy, just take it. I can always draw another one after this voyage. And don't forget the packing list I gave you; make sure you have everything on it ready before you set sail tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Chen Cheng stopped being coy, took the map, said goodbye to Jelina, and then found Noah and the others, telling them that he had found the captain and the sailors.

Then Chen Cheng took out the list that Jelina had filled. Fortunately, they were in a port village, and the half-elves in the village often went out to sea, so many items could be bought from the villagers.

The only thing missing might be the magic crystals that Jelinena listed.

These magic crystals are not only fuel for ships, but also essential items for certain sea creatures.

Chen Cheng had previously acquired a lich space ring containing many magic crystals, but after a trip to the Northern Territory, he left many of them with the Great Wall Army when he left.

Therefore, Chen Cheng can only borrow this part from the elves for now.

Fortunately, the elves also hunt down the magical beasts that trespass into the Moonlight Forest, and they don't use the collected magic crystals much, so they still have some in stock.

Chen Cheng and his team spent the entire afternoon gathering all the items on the list, while the thousands of elves had already boarded their ships and headed north.

Standing at the port, looking at the ships that were suddenly mostly empty, Chen Cheng let out a long sigh of relief.

He has done what he considers to be the best he can in the North; now it's up to him.

Just as he was about to return to his resting place, Chen Cheng realized that Melos and Sfit had not left with the fleet.

"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you have already boarded the ship?"

At this moment, Emil, who was standing to the side, smiled and said:

“We never said we were going to the North. Don’t forget that we elves also received an invitation from the Council.”

"What about Fiesri? I just saw her board the ship."

Upon hearing this, Ireland stuck out his tongue and said:

“This trip to the North is her coming-of-age journey, and at the same time, her status as a saintess will prevent any trouble from happening to the group.”

Chen Cheng had forgotten that the Elven race had an adult traveler. He thought that Fiesri had already returned from her travels, but he didn't expect that several years had passed and she still hadn't set off.

Actually, Chen Cheng forgot one thing: nominally, he was still engaged to Fei Sili. He was still a minor before, and although Fei Sili had passed the coming-of-age ceremony, she couldn't be considered a true adult until she went out to travel.

Chen Cheng is almost sixteen years old now, just the right age to come of age. If Fei Sili goes out to travel at this time, she can marry Chen Cheng after she returns and her cultivation level improves.

However, Chen Cheng had not considered this aspect.

Sfit and the others were somewhat uneasy, afraid that Chen Cheng would think they were a group of scheming people.

Chen Cheng, on the other hand, was considering the benefits of what Melos and the others had done. Indeed, those thousands of elves had left their homes, and with the saintess Fiesri present, it would truly put their hearts at ease.

"Don't worry, Elder Shuiluo went with her. She will protect Feisili."

Sfit spoke up at this moment.

Chen Cheng nodded, then smiled and said:

“That’s perfect. I was just thinking about how to ask the other elders for help. I’ll have to ask Elder Melos for your guidance this time.”

The safety issues that Jerina mentioned before should now be resolved.

Melos, Lyfia, and himself, whose combat power is comparable to that of a legend, make up the three legendary-level beings. Then there are Noah and the others, who are epic-level beings.

With this lineup, unless they encounter a true god, they can surely overcome even the most dangerous situations.

The next day, while it was still barely dawn, everyone had already gotten out of bed.

After a quick wash, they inventoried the items they had collected the day before, packed them into their spatial bags, and then the large group of people arrived at the harbor.

Meanwhile, Jeline and her sister Sasha were already on the boat doing their final checks before setting sail.

"Where are the elders? Haven't they arrived yet?"

Noah looked around but didn't see Melos and the others that Chen Cheng had mentioned, so he asked curiously.

At that moment, Ireland emerged from the cabin and waved to them:

"Get on board, the ship is about to depart."
