Chapter 1173: The Saint and the Fan

"That's so unfair, according to what you say, isn't there the most Spanish, Portuguese, and French people in that paradise, what should the Nordics do? What should the Eastern Europeans do? As soon as you leave the house, you will be here in two days, and they haven't arrived for half a year, it's not fair!" Hong Tao had seen the appearance of Levin and Jim when they raised the bar, so he also wanted to embarrass Levin and bargain with him.

"Shhhh Come, take this, this is a sign of pilgrimage, one for each of us!" Levin was very cunning, he knew that he could not lift Hong Tao on this topic, so he quickly took out this cathedral of Santiago de Composte as a shield, and by the way, he picked up a cane and a scallop shell from a nearby table and handed it to Hong Tao.

"So that we will complete the path of St. James?" said Levin, the scholar of Hong Tao, hanging the scallop shell he wore with a rope on the hook at the top of his cane.

"Of course not, it's just the beginning, if you want to continue, pay 80 euros for both of us. Levin took a set as well, and then motioned for Singh to pay.

"Damn! A broken branch or a scallop sells for 40 euros, and you say that the church is not rich or not!" Singh didn't ask Hong Tao's opinion, and paid directly, she knew that she had to pay if she asked Hong Tao, and when she came out to play, Hong Tao didn't mind being pitted.

"This one with my name on it, 999 euros a piece, I'll have a copy first, I didn't want to buy it last time I was here. "Further on, there was a small room, which looked like a place to buy tickets at a small train station, and an old monk sat behind a desk. He handed Levin two sheets that looked like Chinese folds, and when they were opened, they were densely covered with stamps and postmarks.

"How much? 999 euros. A broken postcard is so expensive!" Hong Tao almost didn't throw the fold in his hand on the old monk's face, this Nima is too tricky, it's outrageous.

"Not a postcard, it's a pilgrimage passport, and a complete passport that completes the entire journey, not blank. You see, I'm from this ...... From Belgium. Oh, you're more religious than I am, you're from Denmark. Levin pulled Hong Tao out of the room. Hiding in the corner of the church, he began to explain to Hong Tao the purpose of this small piece of paper.

It turned out that the postmarks on the folds were not postmarks, but seals stamped by pilgrims to the local Catholic church every time they passed through a town. From these seals you can see where you started and passed through those towns to reach the Holy City. In addition, it has the function of being able to partially replace passports and move around Europe. Some hotels also offer free room and board. Of course, these hotels do not include the high-end tourist hotels.

This pilgrimage passport also has a Latin name called Komperstra. On the last page of Empperstra, there are a large number of Latin instructions, several of which need to be filled out by individuals, and are still empty. So Levin dragged Hong Tao back into the room, and waited for the old monk to review it. In fact, this is a scene, Levin said that this kind of pilgrimage passport is found in Catholic churches all over Europe. Blank for a few euros each, but to the Cathedral of Santiago de Composte. A few full copies of Holestra are sold every month, and the price is high, and it is a complete tourist souvenir, but it is relatively rare, and today is considered lucky.

But this is not a pure Comperstra, for the old friar wrote a phrase in Old Latin on it, which roughly means: Ah, may God save this poor heretic!

It cost 999 euros, and he is still a Nyima pagan! Levin's one is more pure than Hong Tao's, he chose religious purposes in the column of pilgrimage purposes, while Hong Tao chose other purposes. At this time, Hong Tao became honest, he really didn't believe in religion, he didn't believe in any religion, not even the Sun God Sect he created. Hong Tao actually respects religion very much, he himself does not believe in it, but he does not object to others believing it, and he will not use religion to lie to deceive people. The Sun God Sect was not so much a religion as a pyramid scheme, because it didn't even have a doctrine, and it was all up to Ouyang Qing.

After visiting the most famous attraction here, which is this cathedral, it is almost noon, Hong Tao plans to try Spanish food, but Levin said that he can't eat it, and if he wants to eat, he will have to wait until the evening, because the Spaniards and Greeks are somewhat similar, they eat 4 meals a day. Breakfast was very simple, milk bread, just make do with a little bit. Around 11 noon, there's a snack and everyone heads to the café for a bocabillo, a bit like a sandwich.

The real Spanish lunch starts at 2 p.m. and the food is simple, a food called taba. Taba is a bit like a Chinese snack, with a wide variety of dishes, both meat and vegetarian. After 8 p.m., it is the most formal and sumptuous dinner time of the day. At this time, all the restaurants are full, everyone wears beautiful clothes, first drinks and chats, and after chatting enough, all kinds of stewed pork, roast beef, roast mutton, and paella are served.

Hong Tao was hungry for most of the day, and finally stayed up until the evening, and finally ate authentic paella. What does it taste...... But the seafood rice here is indeed very rich, there are at least ten palm-sized shrimps, and the green scallops or mussels are also full of plates, and they don't even go to the shell, so they just put them on the rice and burn them together, and when they are served, there is still soup coming out of it, and the smell is very tempting.

After dinner, the Spaniards are about to start their nightlife. Just find a bar, there is a band playing and singing in it, and the people here are unrestrained in their bones, standing at the door of the bar, holding a bottle of beer, a few people can jump. From this point of view, many countries in South America are indeed deeply influenced by Spanish culture, and even their living habits are similar to those of the Spaniards.

After staying in San Diego for two days, Hong Tao also found a very interesting little detail, and the reason why he was able to find this detail is related to one of his habits. Whenever he goes to a place, the first thing his eyes look at is whether there are beautiful women around him, and if there are, he immediately has to carefully look at them from beginning to end, and then make an evaluation. There are quite a few beautiful women in Spain, who can be found in bars and cafes, and they always have a small folding fan in their hands.

At first, Hong Tao didn't think too carefully, but after observing for a day, he found that only women could hold fans, and no man had ever held a fan in his hand. So he asked Levin again, and he really got an accurate answer, this fan is indeed not taken at random, only unmarried women will hold it. Generally, it will be taken out when meeting with men, and men cannot take it, and they will be laughed to death.

So what is this fan for? It is very useful, and some of its movements can determine whether a couple of sons and women can continue to have a relationship. It is said that Latins are more enthusiastic and unrestrained, but the girls who have their teeth extracted from the West have to make a shy and subtle way of expression outside their enthusiastic and unrestrained hearts, according to Hong Tao's understanding, this can be regarded as pretending!

When a man comes into contact with an unmarried woman, if the lady puts the fan on the table, it's over, it means that people don't want to talk anymore, and the sensible man quickly finds an excuse to leave, don't wait for the family to blow away. If the lady opens the fan to the chin, then congratulations, this lady has taken a fancy to you, at least she likes you very much, and there is a possibility of continuing the relationship. At this time, hurry up and strike while the iron is hot, make an appointment for the next meeting, and make an appointment.

Hong Tao also tried it himself, but he was almost not beaten out by the bar owner, what did he do? As soon as he came up, he borrowed the lady's fan, held it in his hand and did not return it to others, and opened it to his chin, so that the lady was frightened to think that she had encountered a nervous disorder, and it seems that this habit is indeed true.

After getting the permit, get out of the house immediately, Hong Tao would rather see a lot of gold coins and gems than playing with a fan to tease girls, so the Mouse Superman left the port overnight and headed for Vigo Bay. Didn't it mean that the golden fleet did not enter Vigo Bay? Then why should they go to Vigo Bay? The Puyol brothers have already planned the areas to be explored, starting from the Chase Islands at the entrance of Vigo Bay in the south to the island of Salola at the entrance of Asaro Bay in the north, and the sea area in the middle is 50 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide.

There are no landmarks and markers to refer to in the sea search, and the search area must be divided into pieces on the chart, marked with numeric symbols, and then the GPS positioning system is used to plan, and then go to the next after searching an area, so that there will be no omission.

500 square kilometers! It is not easy to search for a few wooden boats that have sunk for hundreds of years, covered with sediment, overgrown with marine life, and covered with calcareous layers at an average depth of more than 50 meters, full of reefs, strong winds, and complex terrain. It's hard to say whether these ships are or not, and whether the chests are scattered. Even with advanced detection instruments, this is a very complex and tedious task, because the instruments can only tell you in the abstract what the seabed looks like and whether there are metal objects. They can't tell you which terrain is most likely to harbor shipwrecks, and they won't tell you definitively whether the metal object is modern trash or ancient gold coins.

So what to do? Jim's approach was to cast a wide net and focus on harvesting. Specifically, the sonar scanning device and seismic wave feedback device on the Mouse Superman were used to walk through this sea area kilometer by kilometer, and the model of the seabed was established first. Then, according to the seabed topography, ocean currents, reefs, water temperature, seasons and other aspects, find a few key locations that may cause the ship to sink on the reef and be stored on the seabed, this step lasts about a week.
