Chapter 507: Far from Europe

"Follow me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows and said.

Out of the cabin, they boarded a small sampan and headed to the cargo ship stocked with dangerous supplies, where they took out a whole box of nitric acid for experiments, and transported it with diatomaceous earth to a ship with the least number of people, and arranged for everyone to be on other ships, leaving da Vinci alone.

In this way, in the event of an explosion, the damage can be minimized.

"Have you thought about it?" Zheng Fei put his arm on da Vinci's shoulder, his expression solemn.

"Hmm. Da Vinci nodded and joked with interest: "If I die, don't throw me in the sea to feed the fish." ”

"Remember me, for me, your life is more valuable than inventing anything, understand?"

"Thank you. Da Vinci's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

"I'll find a few people to help you later, and when you succeed in making powerful gunpowder, each of you will receive a large prize. ”

"I don't care about prize money, I just care about my work, and I want to be a person who can change the world. ”

......

Leaving da Vinci, Zheng Fei returned to the flagship.

Lying on a chair basking in the sun, he crossed his legs and turned his head to look at the boundless sea level, where not even a fishing boat was visible.

It's a really boring voyage, and the larger the fleet, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

When they first set off from the Atlanta pier, they only had one boat and dozens of people, and it was their hardest time, always worrying about possible storms, pirate attacks and other unexpected events, and more often, they were worried that they would be kicked into the sea by the captain to learn to swim.

However, they were happy at that time, because they shared hardships and sorrows, because they were simple and pure.

Now, with more than 2,000 ships and hundreds of thousands of people, it is simply a city on the sea, and there is no need to worry about any danger, and it is very comfortable.

And the novelty and excitement of sailing no longer exists, maybe this is the gain and loss.

Looking at the people who were playing, gradually, Zheng Fei fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was evening.

As the golden glow spreads across the Atlantic, sailors begin to pull up their nets and feast on the delicious seafood.

"Well, try the oysters, the oysters from Northern France taste great. ”

The day's voyage has probably come to an end here, and the same story will be repeated tomorrow.

After dinner, Zheng Fei went back to the cabin early, lay on the bed and held Britney in his arms, because he was too busy, he hadn't listened to Britney for a long time.

"Hey, you know what, today I heard a story about the Queen of Hearts...", she said cheerfully, clinging to his chest.

The sound of the waves was still there, the oil lamps in the cabin flickered dimly, and the fleet slowly sailed into the distance on the sea level shrouded in night.

......

Half a month, in a flash.

According to the data measured by the sextant, they have reached the sea near Portugal.

Today, Britney seems to be a little different from usual, standing alone in the bow of the boat, gazing quietly into the distance, the skirt of her skirt slowly raised by the sea breeze, evoking reverie.

Portugal was her homeland, Lisbon was her hometown, and in that westernmost city on the European continent, she was the daughter of a noble duke and was admired by all the men of the city.

Zheng Fei came to her side, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said softly, "Do you want to go back and see?"

"I don't want to. She shook her head, hesitant in her beautiful eyes.

"Let's go back, or you'll always have a knot in your heart. Zheng Fei smiled, gently stroked her long hair, and kissed her.

"Okay, take a look and go. She blinked whimsily.

Lisbon, docking.

The dock in Lisbon was not as big as London, and it would not be able to accommodate all the ships entering the port, so Zheng Fei only selected a dozen ships to enter the port, bringing thousands of Spartan warriors, and the rest of the ships were left ten nautical miles from the shore.

On the docks, the porters looked at them expectantly, hoping that the new merchant would be the master of the big deal.

After more than half a year, no one here seems to recognize Zheng Fei, although they all remember that there was a man who once stirred up Lisbon and caused a small war.

"Good afternoon, welcome to the Lisbon Marina, where we will charge you two hundred silver coins for berthing fees. The dock owner had a smile on his face and looked very gentlemanly.

"So expensive?" Santiago blurted out, grinning at the thought that he shouldn't pay for it himself anyway.

"Yes sir, because the Battle of Gibraltar has just ended, and merchants from many countries pass through here, the cost is naturally higher. ”

Zheng Fei didn't like to bargain with the merchant the most, so he motioned for the comptroller to pay, and then got on the carriage parked by the dock and entered the city.

Oh yes, the Comptroller is the one who manages the finances and buys and sells goods, handling everything related to money, and is currently held by Theresa.

Reese himself can't remember Zheng Fei, but he can definitely remember Britney, after all, she was the woman who made so many men dream of her.

In order not to be noticeable, Britney put on a veil and sat in the carriage quietly browsing the streets of her hometown for a long time, and the joy in her heart quietly bloomed.

"Teresa, look, this is what I often tell you about the tailor's shop, where all my dresses are made. ”

"Stop, park, I want to eat that ham!"

"Hey, how did Ambrosio's castle change?"

She seemed to be new to the city, with big eyes full of curiosity about everything.

As the carriage passed by the Santos Estate, her home, she tilted her head to the other side.

"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Zheng Fei put his arm around her shoulder.

"Don't go. She closed her eyes.

"It's hard to come back, let's go in and walk around, we don't have to be afraid of Sparta to protect us. Zheng Fei still wanted to persuade her again.

"Hey, don't push her. Teresa next to her waved her hand and smiled lightly: "I know why she doesn't want to go back, because I have a similar fate to her." ”

Zheng Fei twisted his eyebrows, wanting to ask why, but he still held back.

Women's affairs, let women deal with it, after all, there is a big difference in the emotional thinking of men and women.

The carriage only made a slight stop and left the Santos estate.

Unbeknownst to Britney, the owner of the estate had already changed.

Her father and brother had all been killed in the Battle of Gibraltar and had died at sea.

After a few hours of carriage travel through Lisbon, they did not stop any longer and boarded the boat before the sun set.

Standing on the deck, Zheng Fei greeted the sunset, thoughtful.

This time, it is really far away from Europe, and when it comes back, what will it become?
