Chapter 206: Magellan and Columbus

Hearing GLP's excited words, Yang Qinglan half-lowered her head, wanting to pretend that she didn't know him.

But it's clear that this can't be.

The captain brother next to her was already staring at her with very strange eyes.

After thinking for about two seconds, she calmly pulled her hood and replied to him, "Ho-ho, ho-ho...... Ho, ho, ho, ho. ”

The captain's brother's gaze was even more eerie.

However, GLP and Yang Qinglan completely treated the two of them as if they were not there, and kept communicating with various "hoho".

They use the Shark language, but because this is land, the Shark Clan's voice is not suitable for speaking in the air, so the pronunciation seems to be a bit ghostly, and listening to it continuously is a completely meaningless "ho ho".

GLP said, "How did you get ashore?" "Is it because you gave me the potion and were banished from the tribe?" "Is there a place to stay here? Stay with me! I'm in a big place here! "Ifimo hasn't heard from her yet, but I'm sure someone will help me find her."

Yang Qinglan replied, "If you want to go ashore, you will come up." "I wasn't evicted, or I left on my own initiative before the eviction." "That's what I came to you for." "You're smarter than I thought you would."

The two of them "ho-ho" for a long time to end this short conversation, and the captain brother next to him had already discovered that the two people were not really dumb, but the language used in the conversation was different from that of humans, in other words, the two of them were probably not ordinary humans.

A sorceress, a wealthy merchant who suddenly appeared, could kill both of them lightly, but they became insiders of the secret, and they were alone, with no followers around them......

The two looked at each other, and both saw caution and fear in each other's eyes.

After the conversation, Pros glanced at the two men who had been brought by "Ryussai" and asked her, "Is this your slave?" ”

"No, it's just two guides I'm looking for, but I'm not going to let them go right now."

GLP nodded indifferently, looking the two brothers up and down as if they were looking at two goods.

In his heart, human beings, especially men, are filthy creatures with a heart full of lies, and Ursey has already stabbed to death a man she once loved, and she will definitely not have any other feelings for male humans, so she is not the slightest wary of these two people, and only treats them as fish on two boards, the kind that can be eaten by washing.

Looked at by him with this kind of eyes, the two brothers were cold from head to toe, and they moved closer to each other, trying to gain confidence from each other, but they were immediately poured a basin of cold water by the behavior of the other party and himself.

GLP beckoned behind him.

An old man walked briskly from not far away.

GLP pointed at the two men, made a gesture, then waved his right hand, and then asked the old man with his eyes if he understood what he meant.

The old man nodded, faced the captain's brother, and said expressionlessly, "My lord invites you two in." ”

The captain's brother's feet didn't move as if they were nailed to the ground.

The old man's eyes narrowed, and his already small eyes immediately turned into a slit.

"Even though I used 'please,' it's not a request, you know."

As if to confirm the authenticity of his words, several big men walked out of the door and stared at the two of them, and the two of them were almost out of breath due to the strong air pressure.

With a wry smile, the captain and his younger brother followed the old man into the castle.

Behind the two, Yang Qinglan raised the hood upward, so that most of his face could be seen.

Pros's eyes widened as if to see her out of the flowers.

She had changed into a robe, a fact he had discovered at first sight, for the hood of the robe was smaller, and even if it was pulled to the bottom, the chin could still be seen, and the one she wore at the bottom of the sea was hidden in the shadows.

He hadn't seen her for years, his memories were blurred, and he had only seen her a few times since she became human, most of the time she wore a hood and hid her face tightly.

Just as he could see his thoughts, "Lursey" spoke.

"What are you going to do with them?"

"Uh...... Lock it up for now, and then let it go when Ifimo finds it. ”

"I have a building yì."

"Huh?"

"I know a little bit of where Ifimo is now, but it needs human help, and these two will be able to do it."

"Oh?"

……

The next day, the captain's brothers, who had spent the night at the Rich Merchant's Castle, returned to their lodgings unharmed, and the anxious first mate saw them and immediately greeted them.

"Captain! You're back, how are the plans going? ”

The captain's eyes were a little straight, staring at the void, his pupils were not focused: "The plan is canceled, get ready, we are going to set sail again." ”

was stunned: "Didn't we just dock...... According to the rules, it will take three months to set sail again after docking, and the ship has not been checked yet! ”

"Change the ship, someone will fund it, and we will change the ship."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do you mean? ”

"We're going to have a fleet."

"Huh?"

The first mate looked at the deputy captain in confusion, and found that he was also looking unrelenting, with super thick dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't have a good rest.

Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the vice-captain's eyes, but did not get any response, the first mate had to follow the captain's instructions to inform the crew to come back, and only returned to the city yesterday, and it should be convenient to find someone now.

That night, several ships left the port of Intramuros at different times and headed out to sea.

Early the next morning, the ships sailed back to the harbor together, and the flags hoisted on board proved that they were ships of a fleet, and looking at the dilapidated Cheng dΓΉ of the flags, it felt that they were returning from a long voyage, and did not look at all like a cargo ship that had left port yesterday.

There was a large fleet of ships docking, and the official in charge of the port management deliberately waited for the captain to appear at the docking, wanting to see if it was someone he knew, and if not, then he must make friends with him.

After several crew members stepped off the ship, a captain-like figure appeared at the bow of the ship.

The official greeted him and found that he had never seen this person, so he immediately smiled on his face: "This honorable captain, welcome your fleet to dock here, where are you from?" ”

The captain looked at him and asked, "Are you the official in charge of the port?" ”

"Yes I am, my name is ......"

The captain interrupted his introduction: "Please tell your king, my majesty, that I, Magellan, and my brother Columbus, are on a voyage around the world and want to see him." ”

"Mai... Magellan, Columbus? After reading the strange names of these two twisters, the port officer could not find out the bottom of the captain, nor did he dare to hold him accountable for interrupting his self-introduction, and after asking him to wait a little here, he trotted all the way to the king to inform him.

Running and running, the official's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Circumnavigating the world? World? Ring??? ”

After reciting the word several times, which had no meaning other than "surround" and "surround", the officer suddenly realized that the captain was either sick or a man of great things, and he could not be informed of the king, he had to go himself!

In addition, someone was found to receive the captain first, and arranged for the fleet to dock, and the official rushed into the palace as fast as his life, and informed the king of the news.

An hour and a half later, the king met the captain.

"Dear Captain, please give your name."

"My name is Magellan, and this is my brother, and the vice-captain of the fleet, Columbus, and we come from the far east, a country rich in spices and gold, and may in my lifetime His Majesty be able to visit my homeland, and our monarch will surely welcome you."

The terminally ill king grinned silently on his throne, glanced at his son-in-law, who was sitting at the bottom, and said, "I probably won't be able to wait for that day, but the next king may have this opportunity." ”

The prince smiled decently, but his attention didn't seem to be on the conversation.

The captain owed the prince: "If you wish, we can let you follow our fleet from the Western Sea back to the Eastern Kingdom to complete the remaining half of the journey." ”

Back to ...... from the Sea of the West The land of the East??

Everyone present was stunned.

The captain continued, as if he had not found it, "The world in which we are located is a huge sphere, as long as we keep going west, one day we will be able to return to the east, and then back to the beginning, and now that our journey is half complete, I believe that it will not be long before I will be able to return to my homeland." ”

The old king leaned out of his throne excitedly, his eyes widened: "What a ridiculous, how can the world be round!" ”

The captain replied calmly: "Have you ever noticed that after a ship has sailed a certain distance, you can only see the sails, and even the mast can be seen farther away?" That's one of the proofs. ”

"This is obviously a trick used by the sea god to cover the ship!"

"I'm sorry, but in our country, there is no god like the god of the sea who rules the sea, only the god of Buddha, and they are a symbol of the supreme goodness of the human heart."

"Heresy!"

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand what heresy means, does it mean that we have different beliefs?"

"Don't you have such a thing as a heretic?"

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, people have the freedom to believe in me, and there is also the freedom not to believe in me, and all living beings are suffering, so why should you be wrong?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do you mean? ”

Finding that he was obviously off topic, and that the things he had learned improvised from the magician were already stretched thin, and he could not explain what the Buddha God was, the captain immediately changed the subject stiffly: "I am not a missionary, just a captain, I have the Buddha God in my heart, but I see the world in my eyes, believe me, respected king, this world is round." ”

However, the king's interest in an unknown religion was far greater than that of science, and he put aside the argument that the earth is round, and asked only questions about the Buddha and gods, so that the captain's back was almost soaked with sweat, and he could not bring the topic back to the original position.

The co-captain who couldn't stand it waited for an opportunity to interject: "Sailing around the world is only our ultimate goal, while sailing, we also found several unknown lands, legend has it that there is a land rich in gold in the far west, if your majesty is interested, you can send someone to join us to find more gold in the new continent." ”

The king, who had just asked the Buddha and God to the bottom of it, immediately shifted the focus.

"A new continent? Gold? ”
