Chapter 135: The ancestors were once wide
After such a back and forth, in the evening the clipper returned to Trek Harbor.
At this moment, kerosene lamps have been lit here in the evening, and occasionally torches are lit in some bad conditions, and candles are extremely luxurious.
When the old Turtledove, named Indian, arrived at the port, the laughter stopped in an instant.
After all, the threat of death is like substance, you can mock him, but you must also be afraid of him.
At this time, one was wearing a top hat, and a graceful goose feather was stuck in it, and there was a not very thick beard on his cheek.
The man was about 175 centimeters tall, not very tall among the white and dark skins of Trek Harbor, and his skin was dark and unusually rough due to the constant exposure to the sea breeze.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, his hands were calloused and somewhat thick at the joints, and a European stabbing sword hung from his waist, and two muskets were hung from his waist in a position that was easy to pull out.
Although the clothes worn on the body are not luxurious, they are not ordinary goods, and the fabrics are of the highest quality.
However, although this dress is very clean, it should be seen that it is some years old.
The man also had a medal on his chest, and interestingly, it was actually a gold medal with the head of a middle-aged man looking like a king.
This kind of dress really said to the two, don't look at the difference between the master now, but the master was also wide back then, and he was once a person who was rewarded by the king.
This kind of dress, Meng Haoran knew that this was a broken household, and he belonged to the kind of character whose ancestors had been wide.
Welcome to Trek Harbor, where I'm the hereditary governor, Cromwell. Edward.
Meng Haoran raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that this ancestor is still a ****, and he can actually have the right to be a hereditary governor, and the surname Edward is also extremely noble.
Meng Haoran forcibly squeezed out a look of respect on his face, Respected Governor Edward, I don't know who your ancestor is?
Cromwell. Edward coughed deliberately, and then said in a serious way: "Father Hawkins. Edward, who served as Commander-in-Chief of the United Kingdom Expeditionary Fleet.
He was awarded the title of noble duke by His Majesty the King.
Meng Haoran was a little clear when he heard this, it seemed that Cromwell's father was indeed a doer, and he was also awarded the title of duke.
But why did it get to this point so miserably?
The story is hard to describe.
Cromwell. Edward struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "I wonder if going to the Cave of the Damned is rewarding, and if there is anything the governor can do to help?"
Meng Haoran gave Li He a look at this time, and Li He comprehended that he would point to the branches and vines all over the mountains, as well as the world tree behind everyone that had grown like a giant tree like Fusang!
At this moment, the magical World Tree has taken deep roots in the Crazy Mountains, and its roots continue to dig into the deeper rock formations.
Not only that, but the other part of the root system actually went deep into the ocean, along the beach and deep into the continental shelf, and its root system grew for thousands of kilometers in a day.
It wasn't until this thick root system penetrated into the soil that it was reassuring that a new aquatic plant was formed in the water.
The underwater part of the World Tree is also like the surface of the water, and the old trees that adapt to the underwater environment have grown, and the green leaves emitted by the branches and buds that grow here are not used for photosynthesis.
If you look closer, you will see that the underwater part has many tiny holes, which are extremely small, like the suction cups of an octopus.
How small are the holes in these leaves?
They are smaller than nanometers, and they are an additional energy-absorbing system independent of photosynthesis.
Used to absorb free matter from the ocean!
Li He said: Mr. Governor Cromwell, this place is mine now.
You can try to destroy this tree by any means of force, and see what the outcome will be for you.
Cromwell. Edward looked up in embarrassment, where there were already more than a dozen corpses, trying to attack the towering tree.
But they were greeted by sharp vines piercing through their chests, these vines were extremely sharp, and even the black stones on those hard crazy mountains could be as direct and easy as cutting tofu with a knife!
And the corpses that were pierced by the green vines are now like skeletons, and some of the first ones to be pierced into the body have now digested even part of the bones.
When Meng Haoran saw this terrifying situation, he also looked at Li He's eyes suspiciously, as if to say, where did you get this terrifying thing from?
Meng Haoran knew that Li He had already used a powerful deterrent method, and he had to show his gentle side, otherwise it would be easy to push people into a desperate situation.
Meng Haoran said: Could it be that Governor Edward is planning to let us stand outside and chat all the time?
Cromwell. Edward smiled awkwardly at this time and said: The atmosphere was too tense just now, and my heart was inevitably a little uneasy.
Cromwell. Edward, along with Meng Haoran and Li He, entered a room that was not particularly spacious, which had been converted from the cabin of a large cargo ship.
It was quite clean and tidy, except for the smell of dampness that had not changed for 10,000 years, there was no familiar smell in the air, and there was no smell of tobacco.
Although it doesn't have a light fragrance, the overall taste is still pleasant.
Three chairs have been deliberately placed here, there is no frills here, only a table, and the rest of the place is made into a bookshelf with a lot of books.
Surprisingly, there is also a rough globe here, which is the first time Meng Haoran has intuitively seen the terrain of this world.
Cromwell. Edward seemed to notice that Meng Haoran kept looking at this globe, and proudly introduced that this globe was designed and manufactured by his father and the greatest navigator of the United Kingdom, Mr. Magellan the Great, after experiencing a great voyage around the world.
The globe is made of pure copper and is about a meter in diameter, which my father said was designed to scale.
Interestingly, Meng Haoran saw that this globe was not a perfect circle, even a little ellipse, and the body was not smooth, just like an elliptical sphere full of wrinkles.
Could it be that there are already people in this world who have carefully observed the shape of the earth from the outside of the earth?
Even more interesting is the topography of this world, which is divided into three continents, which are named Middle-earth, Tamriel, and Ferentos.
The entire ocean is divided by these three continents, with Middle-earth in the middle, reaching the continent of Tamriel to the west, and continuing west to the continent of Ferentos.
Each continent runs north and south, but these roads are not monolithic, there are many straits running through them, and this terrain is called the isthmus of the continent!
Interestingly, there are three of them, each with a number of huge straits connecting to the vast oceans.
In this way, the terrain of the continent here is narrow from east to west and long from north to south. But why did it become such a place, like the three American continents that this planet has?
There are also huge ice sheets in the North and South Poles, but on this map, it is only a rough representation of the North Continent and the South Continent, and it seems that it is still an untouched area.
Meng Haoran looked at this globe and praised it sincerely: It seems that your father has left you a great fortune,
If you have a strong fleet, then with the detailed nautical route map on this globe, then Cromwell. Edward, you should be able to achieve a great thing.
