(46) Endless foreign lands

When the spring of 712 arrived, and everything grew, our surviving sailors spent two months stockpiling food before departure, and then began to return on foot.

After all, the hero Lul is our backbone, and as long as he is around, our team will not fall apart.

Walking by land was much slower and more tiring than at sea, and at least I, a sailor who was good at seafaring, was not accustomed to long journeys, so the daily pace of walking was much slower than we had first anticipated.

But fortunately, the place where we are is is a large plain, and there are no rugged mountain roads, which saves us a lot of walking experience.

(47) Man-eating swamps

We walked north along the shore for a month, and then we had trouble with a swampy wetland in front of us, although we knew from the beginning that this swamp must be very difficult to walk, but because we had to go through the swamp to go north, we had to go down.

However, after only three hours of trying to walk, we were in big trouble, and a violet-level demonic beast attacked us.

In our team, there is only one hero left at this time, and Luer is still at the purple carrot level. However, the hero Luer is now very old, and although he still has the realm of Ziluo, his strength is not as good as before.

However, for the sake of our safety, the hero Lul did not choose to escape by himself, but chose to cover us behind the palace. In the end, only one of the team's sailors, Braathon, was killed, and the rest managed to escape the clutches of the beasts.

After this attack, the hero Lul concluded that this swamp was very treacherous, and with our current ability, there was no way to pass through it, but to avoid it.

However, this swamp was blocked to the north, so our team had to take a long detour, first to the east to the end of the marsh, and then to the north.

(49) Conversation under the stars

I remember that on the third night of the north, I quietly asked the hero Lull while I was keeping vigil with him.

What if Myrami is actually in the south and we have already walked through? Or if this piece of land is not connected to Myramie, and when we reach the end, we can only see an ocean?

The hero Lul heard my answer and did not answer immediately.

He looked up at the starry sky, and the starry sky reflected the increasingly cloudy eyes, and after a long time, he said to me in a firm voice: "Go on, no matter what time, we can't give up hope first." ”

"I didn't give up when I was chased by the five sea dragons, I didn't give up when I was confined to Manada and the other party fired me from harsh conditions, I still didn't give up when I was stranded on the sea of Brayazon, and the ship was broken; no matter what, you can't give up on yourself first, if you get to that time, then nothing will be saved, if I had been shaken before, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by the five sea dragons. ”

After that, the hero Lul looked at me: "I am already a sixty-year-old man, and half of my body is about to be buried in the ground, and you are different, you are not yet forty, and you still have a long future." ”

(Editor's note, the following dialogues are only available in the oldest version and the latest version of the travelogue, and this dialogue has been deleted in the middle version.)

"Captain Lull, I have no future, as a sailor, the most golden time of my life has been wasted on this voyage," I couldn't help but sigh when I heard the hero Lul actually say such ridiculous words, I didn't expect the hero Lull to make such a mistake.

(Editor's note, as there were fewer and fewer Bourbon sailors, Luhr began to take good care of the remaining sailors, allowing them to call them by their first names)

"Why?" said the hero Luhr in surprise when he heard my answer.

"Captain Luhr, I don't even have a surname, I'm just an ordinary sailor, when I can't paddle, when my hands start to tremble, when my vision starts to blur, I can only go home to retire, relying on the funds provided by my sons, to spend the rest of my life," thanks to the hero Luhr for all these years of teaching, let me know how to use Bourbon modification.

"My second uncle, he was also a well-known senior sailor, when he did not die in the storms of sailing for twenty years, and was lucky to go home to retire, he couldn't stand this kind of life, and then committed suicide. ”

"We sailors have been adrift at sea all our lives, and more than half of our sailors will suffer from scuba disease when they retire, and all kinds of other curses that have been sailing for many years, and I was born into a sailor family, and I have seen this situation a lot since I was a child," I couldn't help but laugh miserably when I thought of the situation of the sailor's family.

The hero Lul heard what I said and did not answer.

So I continued: "Captain Luhr, and you nobles are different from us, you nobles who came out of the nautical academy began to sail at the age of twenty, without being a sailor, directly as an adjutant, and after a few times became a ship, and then worked until he retired about forty years old, and used his reputation as a seafarer to join the council of the city-state, and spent the last twenty years of his life in the council. ”

At this time, I remembered that it seemed to be 19 years since I was recruited by Fei's men, and at that time, that tavern, that group of sailors, was that how the hero Lull mocked?

However, at that time, he frantically worshipped the hero Luer, and often fantasized that he could be like the hero Luer, who discovered the New World and then turned over, and fought with them on the spot.

Now that I think about it, that group of people was the same age as I am now, all thirty or forty years old, about to be eliminated from the sailors' market, they have been smoothed by the years, and they are exactly the same as my father, who was only a sailor and a place other than the tavern.

I didn't know these things before, but when I was wandering away with the hero Lull all these years, I often heard other sailors muttering.

And my statement about the hero Lul is actually not my own statement, in fact, I don't have a second uncle at all. The man who said these words was Dammador, the one who remained in Manada to marry the queen's slaves.

When our sailors were invited by the hero Lul to leave Manada, Damadot persuaded us just like that.

Even though I was born into a sailor family, I vaguely understood that situation. However, at that time, I was only 27 years old, and my blood had not yet been extinguished, and I refused to calm down at all, and stayed in this distant country for thirty or forty years, and then I died without even seeing my children.

Therefore, I resolutely followed the hero Lul until today, 11 years later.

Today, I am almost forty years old, if I go back like this, and no one takes care of me, I have disappeared for twenty years, and I have no popularity in the sailor market at all, what will I do at that time?

I panicked, I really panicked, as the years went by, my age increased little by little, and Damador's original words were not only not like words engraved on the sand, but were engraved deeper and deeper in my heart.

[Why don't you eat minced meat ?—— give Lul Gomez, the cold game that has not appeared for a long time floats by]

After a long time, the hero Lul replied to me: "You have been with me for so many years, how could I forget you?"

Listening to the promise of the hero Lull, a tired smile appeared on my face.

[This kind of passage, if it is not deleted by the later nobles, there will be ghosts, how can these cruel facts be used to break the group of small freshness and beautiful illusions of ancient navigation in later generations?

(50) Encountering a native in a foreign land—the Maisica people of the south

After that, we walked east for more than ten days, and finally we saw the end of the marsh, and we could continue to the north.

However, it didn't take long to go north before we were drawn into a battle with a group of barbarians.

The battle between the two barbarians was chaotic, and the number of people on both sides combined was less than fifty, and the highest level was only Jade.

Although the physical condition of the hero Luer has seriously declined, as a purple carrot, he can easily suppress the battle of a group of jadeite and barbarian tribes who are not jadeite.

And when I was talking to the barbarians, a long memory suddenly came to my heart, and the words of this group of barbarians were no longer as completely unfamiliar as Manada and Brayason, as if... The language of the Maisica people of Myramie!

However, after all, I have been away from Myrami for more than twenty years, and even more than twenty years ago I can only listen and not speak much of Myrami's language, so I was not sure at first.

So, when the hero Lul was talking to them, I said to them with the mentality of trying, "Maisica?"

To our surprise, the other party actually reacted to the syllable "Maisica".

So I, Lull, and the other remaining Bourbon sailor were all excited, and we hugged each other and cheered for the sight of the Maisica, which meant that the land of the Mairami was not far from here.

After that, we were brought before the "King of All the Misicans", who treated us well and gave us a place to live and something to eat, so that we could recuperate and learn the language of the Misica during this recuperation.

The Maisica are a confederation of tribes, but the reign of King Maisica is extremely unstable, and rebellions are rife, and the Maisica seem unwilling to have a common leader.

In short, the inhabitants of my land this time do not even owe it to a true tribal union, let alone a nation.

(54) The king's agreement

It was here that a few months had passed, when we were able to speak in the Maisika language, that King Maiska summoned us.

I asked us some information about Myrami, but because we have been away from Myrami for more than 20 years, we don't know much about the current situation of Myramie, so we can only pick and choose some that I still remember from the past.

Of course, we don't know much about Myrami as much as the hero Lul.

The hero Lul was a nobleman after all and knew a lot of things, what Myramie split into the eastern and western capitals, and Myramie set up a caste system, all of which he told King Maisika.

And when he knew that our purpose was to go north back to Myramie, and then return to our homeland through Myramie's ship, even though we knew that there was an endless jungle ahead, we would not change our original intentions, King Maiska laughed and made a pact with the hero Lur.

King Maisica can offer the hero Lul, who has already explored the map of the jungle and will send a team of guides to help us traverse the jungle, but in return, the hero Lul will have to find a way to send the guides back to his tribe.

Faced with this agreement, the hero Lul agreed, and despite my resistance, he drank the poison that King Maisica gave him, which meant that the hero Lul must return to Maisica within ten years to obtain the antidote.

Finally, in the presence of the gods, the hero Lul and King Maishka exchanged agreements, so we first went to the plain in front of the jungle, and finally in the autumn of 713 A.D., after bringing enough food, we began to try to cross the jungle.

The journey through the jungle was very dangerous, and it took us half a year for a team of more than 20 people to cross this nightmarish jungle and reach the border of Mikul, the eastern capital of Myramie, and at this time, only three of our team survived, the hero Lul, me, and a Maishika guide.

When I was walking through the jungle, I often regretted that it was better to fight scuba disease and cross the sea, because the jungle is an environment that hurts the hero Lul's body more.

But the hero Lul didn't care much, and smiled and said that since he had already chosen, he would go on, how could he die so close to home if he didn't die in the five sea dragons, Manada, Brayathon, and Maisica?

(69) Migul, who has been absent for a long time

Then, it took us a few more days, through the jungle and many obstacles, and finally reached Migul, the eastern capital of Myramie.

We met the ambassador there at Mikuol's Bourbon Hall, and as for the Maishika guide, we made him pretend to be our slave and qualified to wait outside the city.

I will probably never forget the faces of the people in the Bourbon Hall when they heard that the homeless man in front of them was a Bourbon legend, a living legend, Lul Gomez.

Although the people in the guild hall thought the news was too outrageous, we were also Bourbons, and after Lull pawned them the amulet his wife had given him, they reluctantly contacted a carriage to take us to Napoli in the south.

In Naples, to the south, the hero Lul found the merchant house that Fei had cast in his name and entered it to inform him of his arrival.

Because the news was too shocking, it took several months for the merchant hall to determine that the old man in front of him was Luer, who had been missing for more than 20 years, and finally, under the leadership of Fei who came in person, we got on the boat that drove Bourbon in Napoli.

We're finally going home.

(70) Homecoming

In February 695 of the year 695, at the age of 20, I took part in the sixth voyage of the 46-year-old Luhr, which is twenty years.

In January 715 of the year 715, at the age of 40, I and 66-year-old Luel Gomez finally returned to Campolis after a twenty-year absence, and I was the only Bourbon to follow Lure to the end.
