Chapter 23 Beacons

"Hey Fatty, please help me pull the sail up."

"Hey Fatty, please tie the cables for me."

"Hey Fatty..."

"Don't call me fat anymore! My name is Apius, you damn pirate, and why do I help you do that? I am a famous businessman, not a fishy and smelly sailor. Shouldn't these tasks be done by sailors?"

Apius finally couldn't stand being called by a pirate, and threw down the work in his hand and scolded loudly.

Apius had a reason to be unhappy. Since the ship started, Uller had called him around like a sailor. He was so angry that he didn't work much on weekdays. The fat man was not suitable for sailors' work. However, the guy who claimed to be a demigod had sat leisurely at the stern of the boat since he got on the boat, looking at a book written in strange words. Who knew what was written in the book, maybe it was a pagan evil spell or something. Apius was maliciously guessing.

Wule also looked at him unhappily, "Don't you know that a person cannot operate this ship!" The meaning in his words was already very obvious. He naturally did not dare to send Lin Tianyu, so he was the only one who could help.

"Hurry up, we'll get it done right away." Uller tried to persuade in a calm tone. Apius nodded helplessly, fucked the cable in his hand, but his eyes still aimed at the book in Lin Tianyu's hand from time to time.

The book Lin Tianyu read was naturally the book "The Guide to Time and Space Travel". Some of the contents he saw also gave him some insight.

It turns out that there are three types of gates of time and space, namely the gate of ancient times, the gate of parallel planes, and the gate of another world.

It turns out that there are as many as 10,000 different types of space-time worlds like this, which is also the origin of the name "Masonica for All Eternities".

It turns out that different gates may also lead to the same world, which means that when traveling in time and space, you may encounter other time and space travelers, and of course the chance is not very high.

In addition to these common sense knowledge, the most important thing is to let him know the existence of the Space-Time Administration.

According to what the book says, the Time and Space Administration is an organization established by the earliest group of time and space travelers. It is different from the current way that ordinary time and space travelers rely on the time and space gate to travel through time and space. The Time and Space Administration has other ways of traveling through time and space. They are more flexible, faster, and more powerful than ordinary time and space travelers.

The Time and Space Administration takes the slogan of maintaining the order of time and space, but its actual goal is to eliminate or incorporate all other time and space travelers to achieve the purpose of monopolizing and dominating all time and space. Therefore, when dealing with time and space travelers, it adopts an attitude of following oneself and prospering oneself and rebelling oneself against oneself. Any time and space traveler discovered by the Time and Space Administration will be ruthlessly pursued. Unless it can successfully escape, it will either surrender or die, and it is very difficult to fight against it, because the Time and Space Administration has strong regular force and rapid military deployment ability, which is far from being able to fight against ordinary time and space travelers in a mess.

On the contrary, the All-Eternal Freemason is an organization designed to allow all time travelers to move freely and not ruled by tyranny. They are selfless and sell the extremely precious time and space gates and their low prices to the time travelers, and will also provide the necessary help to the time travelers to the time and space management bureau. As for the origin of the All-Eternal Freemason, there is no introduction in the book.

From this book, this Masonic Masonic is simply an organization established by a group of saints, but Lin Tianyu did not fully believe it. After all, this book was published by the Masonic Masonic Masonic Masonic Masonic, so he would not deliberately touch himself. Of course, it is something nice to say. However, at least from the information he has been exposed to, the Masonic Masonic is friendly, while the Time and Space Administration is dangerous.

The book also emphasizes some details that time and space travelers should pay attention to.

The first is not to cause too much historical shock, that is, we cannot change history on a large scale, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of the Time and Space Administration and be hunted down.

The second is not to attract too much attention, nor should we look down on ancient people or people from other worlds too much. You should know that there are more time and space travelers who die in the hands of ancient people and people from other worlds than those who die in the hands of the Time and Space Administration.

In addition to this, there are many key points, so I won’t go into details here.

When Lin Tianyu finished reading this booklet, the sky had gradually darkened.

Wule took out some dried fish and dried bread from the box at the bow and gave it to the three of them for consumption. Lin Tianyu couldn't eat it after a few bites. This kind of crude food really tasted nothing good, but considering that he didn't bring much food, he still barely ate it and regarded it as an experience of life.

On the contrary, Apius was very enthusiastic and had a lot of effort after hunger all morning, which made him, a pampered guy who was usually generous and had a great appetite when facing this kind of crude food.

He took out a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, and sent the food that was choking in his throat. Lin Tianyu looked at the sun gradually sinking into the sea in the distance, but his heart was unprecedentedly calm.

Woo! Woo! Apius suddenly made a strange sound. Lin Tianyu looked at it and found that he seemed to be choking. He hurriedly handed the water bottle in his hand. Apius poured two sips of water before he recovered. When he wanted to thank him, he suddenly found that the water bottle in his hand looked very strange, as transparent as the purest glass, but soft and elastic. There were some strange patterns and many incomprehensible words on it. Just a drinking utensil is so exquisite and exquisite. He couldn't help but feel more curious about the black-haired and black-eyed alien man in front of him.

When the last touch of the sun disappeared from the sea, darkness dominated everything.

Unlike the nights on land, the isolation on the sea further deepens human fear of darkness, especially when it is still on a very small wooden boat, this fear becomes heavier.

Even Ule, who often goes out to sea, has become unprecedentedly silent. There is only the sound of sea water slapping on the side of the boat, making people feel so lonely. Although it is not cold, Lin Tianyu still tightens his windbreaker, as if this can bring him some sense of security.

Ull lit an oil lamp at the bow of the boat, illuminating a small circle around it, and also illuminating his dark face, his face full of worry.

"Sir, I think we're in trouble."

Lin Tianyu looked at him strangely, "Didn't you say you are a veteran of navigation? There is no problem with sailing at night."

Ule grieved, "But without stars, even the old sailors can't tell the direction."

Lin Tianyu said that it was the problem, and that was not simple. He pulled a bag containing trade goods and took out a compass from it. This is also a kind of trade goods.

He placed the compass flat under the oil lamp, "The direction of this red needle is south, and the direction of that blue needle is north. You just need to go in this direction."

Nawule looked at the magical little thing in surprise. He tried to turn the compass a few times, but no matter how he turned, the blue needle inside was indeed pointing in the same direction.

"Oh my God, what is this? It's so magical!" Both Ule and Apius showed a look of surprise.

"This thing is called the 'Athena's Beacon'. Theseus used this treasure to walk out of Minotaurus' maze (1).

Apiuschi said, "Didn't Theseus rely on the thread that Princess Crete gave him?"

Lin Tianyu smiled, "How can mortals know the secrets in many things? But no matter what, with this treasure, we don't need to be afraid of losing our way at sea."

As we were talking, the wind blew a thick cloud towards the east, and the moon exposed its face through the clouds. The moonlight shone on the sea, and the ocean surface was sparkling. The darkness finally subsided a lot. Although looking far away, you can only see a dark cloud, but at least you can see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Ull felt that this was a good sign. With the guidance of "Athena's beacon" and the moonlight, the sailing at night was not that scary, but Apius looked at Lin Tianyu, but he became more and more awe.

When the sunlight of the next morning fell on the bow of the boat, the three of them saw the Mediterranean coast from afar.
