Chapter 521: The Splendid Civilization of the Americas
"Surely you have heard the doctrine that came from Florence? The wise men claim that the ground beneath our feet is a ball, and that it is possible to reach the East by sailing in a circle to the west!"
......
The people made bold guesses, their faces filled with excitement like never before, and they began to run on the deck, raising their arms and cheering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There was even a man who took off his clothes and jumped into the sea, confidently claiming that he was going to swim over, but after a few swam strokes, he obediently climbed up.
"Why did you coax Jamison, aren't you a good swimmer?"
"I... Belch... I stepped on a shark. ”
"Hahahaha!" Hearing this clumsy excuse, the crowd burst into laughter.
But this did not affect the excitement of the people in the slightest, and they still huddled on the deck, watching with anticrative expectation as the New World approached them little by little.
But they were disappointed, and did not reach the land until nightfall, which seemed to be there but could not be reached no matter how they went, like a mirage.
The American continent is really too vast, and when that green comes into view, don't rejoice too soon, because you are far away from it.
Amid the cheers one after another, Zheng Fei walked away from the noisy crowd to the stern of the boat, leaned his neck to drink the whiskey in the kettle, and then threw it into the sea with all his strength, looking at the sky and roaring happily, beating his chest like a gorilla.
This is the real beginning of the grand plan to develop the Americas, and these hundreds of thousands of people will become the first European immigrants, who will create wealth for him Zheng Fei alone.
Oh no, no, Zheng Fei's most valuable wealth is actually all of them, and for Zheng Fei, tons and tons of gold and silver are far less important than a group of die-hard followers.
Being followed is the most wonderful feeling.
"Look, I'll just say there must be a continent on the other side of the sea. ”
Halreddin, with his temples and white spots, came to his side, sighed long, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Is this the fulfillment of your wish?" Zheng Fei said with a smile.
"No, this is only the beginning of my wish, I hope to find the Fountain of Youth, take it back to youth, and then continue to explore, I believe that this world is far more than Europe, Africa and this continent, there must be other undiscovered places. ”
"Yes, the secrets of the world are always reserved for adventurers, and I wish I could have figured them out one by one. ”
"Oh~ Speaking of which, how is the research on the information I gave you?"
"Almost, but we have to go to an unusual place, and I'll talk about it when I've settled everyone in. ”
"Can you take me?"
"Of course not, your age... Well, I'm sorry I didn't mean anything else, but you're not physically fit to follow us on an expedition. ”
"And what if you find the Fountain of Youth, and enjoy it yourself?" said Heleddin, half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"That's a pool of spring water, I want to drink it, can I finish it?" Zheng Fei teased.
"Haha, too. ”
At this time, everyone in the fleet was smiling, except for one person.
He was a teenager, or more precisely, a little younger than a teenager.
His name was Christopher Columbus.
Little Columbus opened his big eyes and stared quietly at the intoxicating emerald green in the distance, his eyes full of shock, but also a hint of surprise and a hint of confusion.
When Zheng Fei went back to the house to pour wine, he saw him inadvertently, stopped and hesitated for two seconds, and walked over.
"What's wrong with you, Columbus?" he gently touched little Columbus's head.
"I feel like I've been here. Columbus muttered, his gaze still fixed on the emerald green.
"That's right, we first came to America about a year ago, didn't you come with me then?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Little Columbus shook his head like a rattle: "I have a very strange feeling that this land... I seem to have seen it in a dream. ”
In the dark, it is fate.
"It was a magical dream. Zheng Fei smiled, took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into his pocket, and walked away.
The glory that belonged to the great navigator Christopher Columbus has been taken away by him Zheng Fei.
Why does the captain always have candy in his pocket? Because there are always little girls pestering him to ask for candy, and it is Britney's big sister who is to blame.
The evening quickly faded away, leaving the silent night of the world.
Amidst the sound of waves and noise, Zheng Fei returned to his own cabin and sat down at his desk to spread out his nautical diary.
"I'm excited to be back in the Americas. Is it just excitement? Of course not, it's more melancholy, sounds weird, right?
Why melancholy?
Although I am a sailing enthusiast, I know nothing about the history of the Americas in the Middle Ages.
I thought that there were only a few indigenous tribes living scattered on this continent, but from the information given to me by Hayreddin, I found that the Americas of this era were actually controlled by a very powerful force, its name was the Aztec Empire, and it was it that created the splendid American civilization.
According to sources, the inhabitants of the Aztec Empire were the most fierce warriors, and their belligerence was almost equal to that of Sparta.
There have been three of the most famous warlike arms in history: the Mongol cavalry, the Spartan warriors, and the Aztec cavalry.
What worries me is, if they really have the terrible fighting power of Sparta, how will they be able to deal with it? It seems that they can only use warships and artillery.
I don't want to slaughter innocent indigenous people, for for whom I am the aggressor of all evils. I want to be a peaceful American, not a colonial leader with a bloody debt......
Oh yes, and I also get sad about the information that doesn't belong to the current era.
Is there really a prophecy? Or maybe someone deliberately arranged all this?
I couldn't figure it out, so I just didn't want to solve the puzzles one by one, and the most important ones now were the Fountain of Youth, and Bermuda.
Only when I find the Fountain of Youth, can I have enough life to continue to uncover those secrets, those truths hidden under the tide of history.
What is under the vast deep sea?
......】
Writing and writing, maybe because the light was too dim, Zheng Fei felt sleepy, yawned, pushed open the door and walked out of the cabin.
The noisy people had gone back to sleep, and only a few people were left on the deck chatting, and the gentle sea breeze was very comfortable on the deck.
Looking up, the starry sky of the Middle Ages is so pure and so peaceful.
This tranquility alone makes people reluctant to let go.
Couldn't help but curl the corners of Zheng Fei's mouth, drank the last sip of wine in the jug, and this time he didn't throw it into the sea, but into the sky.
Smack, it hit the man on the watchtower.
", which one doesn't have long eyes... Uh, it's you. Santiago clutched his head, a look of resentment.
"What are you doing up there?" Zheng Fei asked with a smile.
"I'm looking to see how far I can get to the Americas, I don't remember it took that long last time I came. Santiago couldn't wait to get on land, and he missed the taste of meat.
