Chapter 54: The Man Who Conquered the Sea (6) The Continent on the Other Side

Three months after leaving Robbe, the exploration fleet began to sail westward, and if all went well, Lull could sail directly back to the Bourbon "mainland".

After a month of sailing, the long coast finally saw the end, and after passing through a narrow bay, the direction of the land finally changed again, changing to a north-south direction, which convinced Luhr that there was an oversized bay to the north of Myramie.

Although Lull was keen to continue sailing north, the crew's mood was beginning to become unstable, second, the reserves of fresh water and food were halfway depleted, and third, the ship's damage was getting worse.

In view of the above three points, Lull finally chose to sail westward to see if he could sail directly back to Bourbon.

It worked!

At the beginning of December, the expedition fleet returned directly to the route near Bourbon Island, encountered the familiar Bourbon merchant ships, and under the guidance of the merchant ships, the exploration fleet entered the Bourbon city-state of Bhutoka.

When the fleet opened Bhutoka and told the other party about their discovery, the entire port was shocked, not only because they celebrated the discovery of the exploration fleet, but because they were shocked that the Tenglong Continent was so close to them, so couldn't they become the second in Compolis?

The consul Bhutoka, who was excited, even waived the cost of repairing and collecting the fleet, and with a stroke of the pen, he gave the fleet a large amount of materials to express his joy.

After a few days of repairs in Bhutoka and bidding farewell to the elated Bhutoka people, Luhl's fleet returned to Campolis in early January of the following year, ending his third voyage.

Looking at the son who came back, Luer's father's eyes were a little relieved, although his son's personality has always been very eccentric, making people worry about whether he can take on heavy responsibilities, but with the successive discoveries, Luer's father understands that the matter of his son taking over his position in the future has been stabilized.

Lul may be a bit upright, but he's not stupid, and he's smart—he'll do whatever he likes.

After the third nine-month voyage, Lull knew that it would be at least a few years before he asked Compolis to pay for the voyage, because the old men of the council would not agree to give him any more money.

However, at this time, the amiable face of the big fat sheep, ahh

After staying at home for 3 months, Luer went to Bhutoka and told him that he could hire him to explore the Tenglong Continent opposite Bhutoka.

In the past few years, because of the successive successful explorations, Lul has already made a name for himself, becoming a very famous captain in the tavern, and with Lull's participation, it is too late for the consul of Bhutoka to be happy, of course he refuses to refuse.

When Compolis heard that Lul was going to participate in the voyage there, the council discussed it for three days and finally decided to cooperate with Bhutoka in the voyage, but the council only allocated a ship.

So, after a long period of preparation by Compolis and Bhutoka, Lul and his old men set out on his fourth voyage.

In February 683 A.D., Luhl set out again to continue his unfinished expedition, but this time his fleet departed from Bhutoka.

Compared with the last time, Lull went again, it was a familiar road, driving into the familiar waterway, and once again seeing the narrow strait.

However, Lull knew that the strait used to be the bay north of Myramie, and now he should sail north.

However, after sailing for some distance, Lul felt that Bhutoka would lose a lot this time, because if you go north, you will not be able to go thousands of miles of mountains, or the Black Forest with no end in sight, and it does not look like a place for people, and the plains that can really be colonized are still on the northern shore of the northern strait of Myramie.

However, it is the Bhutoka Council that needs to be considered, and the only thing that Captain Lul has to do is to explore forward until only four-sevenths of the food and fresh water are consumed, and then finish the exploration and start to return home.

This voyage was not as impressive as the last, and Luhr drove north for more than 2 months before seeing the plains. As the voyage continued, signs of human activity were found around the plains.

Seeing this sign, the crew felt a burst of joy and went ashore to search for it, and found a village, but to Lul's disappointment, the villagers did not even have a written word, and did not look like a man of the country like Mirami.

But at least the fleet has discovered that there are people on the land here, indicating that the Bourbons could live here. The ship's officer, who had been sent by Bhutoka as the first mate, ordered his men to kidnap a few children in order to get something to gain, and Lul did not stop them after being powerlessly persuaded to do so.

The voyage continued, and by the time the fleet passed a mountain range once more, and saw that the shore was forested, the crew of the fleet was already a little tired.

One of the barbarian children, who had been captured by the crew before, fell into the water in the process of escaping again, and now he can't find it, but fortunately there are still two alive.

Seeing the crew's appearance, Lul ordered to sail back, and in July of that year, Lull returned to Bhutoka, ending this voyage without much success.

In addition, the few barbarian children brought back by Lul still gave the Bourbons some surprises, but the Myramies had seen them, so this surprise was not very big.

And Fei, who is good at words, heard some clues from the words of these children.

Fei found that the language spoken by the children (barbarian relatives of the Ingona people), although the pronunciation was somewhat strange, was somewhat similar to the Myrami language, and it was only a little similar, and it was not possible to speak to them in the Myrami language.

Unfortunately, Fei had no way to continue to test this conjecture, and after a few years on Bourbon Island, the two children's words became more and more Bourbon sounds, and later they forgot how to say their original words.

In the years that followed, instead of exploring new seas, Lull made several more re-runs, using his identity and reference to the sailing records of others in the past, to draw the most accurate chart in the world in the year 686.

At the annual meeting of Boris in 687 A.D., Lull went to the meeting as a representative of Compolis, at which he put forward his opinion that Bourbon was probably an island compared to the continent of Tenglong.

Well, thanks to Leng Yi, thousands of years ago, the names of all the continents and large islands in the world were prescribed, so now the Bourbon and the Merami people call the place where the Myramie is located, "teng-long-da-lu".

It is precisely because of this that the Bourbons, who do not understand Chinese, do not hear the size of the land they are in from the pronunciation of the "teng-long-da-lu" and "bo-pang-dao" they always call.

However, because Luer has not yet sailed the entire continent of the Tenglong Continent, everyone at the annual meeting did not fully agree with Lull's inference, but for the nautical charts contributed by Luer, the current consul spoke highly of Luhr and awarded Lull the Navigation Medal.

In November 687, the 38-year-old received his first order from Boris.

The Archon ordered Lull to be the captain of the ship, and to work with the northernmost Uttana to check whether there was a new land on the north side of Bourbon Island in February of the following year, like Compolis.

Lul, who had long been idle, naturally agreed to this request, and took the sailors of Compolis and immediately went to Uttana.

In February 688 of the Great Calendar, Lul set out from Utda to begin his fifth voyage.

Seeing that Luer was heading all the way north, Leng Yi had to take another step to guide, otherwise heading to the northwest, the voyage that could have been reached in ten days would be made into a four-month voyage by Luer because of the north.

Faced with the sound of appearing at the junction of sea and sky again after 22 years, Luhr's heart couldn't help but stir, and Luer knew that it was God's guidance, so he changed direction and sailed to the northwest.

Within a few days of sailing, Lull discovered a new land, and the continent of Middle-earth was thus unfolded in front of the Bourbon exploration fleet, and another continent was revealed by Lure in front of Bourbon.

As mentioned earlier, the eastern part of Middle-earth is a map of East Asia, and the current location of the Luhr fleet, corresponding to East Asia, is in southern Vietnam on the Indochina Peninsula.

Looking at the newly discovered land, the atmosphere on the ship was suddenly very lively, at least everyone knew that they had not come in vain this time, and they would definitely be able to send it when they returned.

After so much preparation before the voyage, it has been less than a month since the voyage was set out, and it was impossible to return now, so the fleet decided to continue exploring the land, and after a few months of exploration, it was considering returning home.

Remembering that at the place of sailing, the gods appeared in the northwest to prevent him from sailing north, so Lul subconsciously felt that the north was not safe, so he commanded the fleet to explore west.

Seeing Luer's choice, Leng Yi couldn't help but regret it for a while, and even wanted to go down to guide Luer, but in the end he still restrained his urge to cheat.

Because if you sail to the north, in about six or seven months, Myramie's fleet will be able to come into contact with Laventika and see another civilization.

As for the west, Olini is on the southern coast of Middle-earth, and the problem is that Olini's location is so far away from here that it is separated by a dragon continent, so it is strange that he can sail there in one voyage.

Exploring the coast to the west, to be precise, to the northwest-southeast, Luhr was very satisfied with the exploration, because along the way, Luhr found that there were many excellent havens along the coast, which were very suitable for Bourbon immigration, but it was not clear whether there were any magical species like argonon flowers on this land.

And in this land, there are still many primitive tribes without a country. As on the previous time, on the return voyage, the flotilla brought several members of the tribe aboard, not only children but also adults.

Finally, in December of the same year, Lull returned to Uttana, announcing that there was also a new fertile land in the north of Uttana, and when the news broke, Uttana and Bourbon were again cheering, and the cheers marked the beginning of more exploration of the energetic Bourbon.

However, Luer, who will be running for four next year, does not care about the things that those businessmen are interested in, he just wants to discover more land and realize his value before his body ages.

However, at this time, Lull did not know that the sixth voyage of his life, the most thrilling voyage of his life, was about to begin.
