Chapter 742: A sensation is about to blow Europe
The sea breeze is blowing, the blue sea and blue sky, and the sky and the sea seem to be connected from a distance, which confirms the sentence that the water and the sky are the same. With a breezy sea and no rough seas, the scenery is the most enchanting. Especially when people are on a high place overlooking the sea, that magnificent scene can make people's hearts open-minded, and the depression will disappear with the wind. The sea has this charm.
The sight of this scene is nothing in the eyes of the old sailors who have been at sea for many years. They may have been at sea for many years, and they may have had this curiosity at first, but when the boring days of racing have come, even the beauty of the sea has lost its charm in the eyes of sailors. What's more, the sea is also known for being fickle; Its moodiness may be beautiful in the last moment, but in the next second, it is wind and rain, and stormy waves and stormy waves come one after another, making people surrender to its feminine power.
But at this time, for the sailors who escaped, they were looking at the vast sea in front of them with great joy.
"Is it the Atlantic?" A sailor asked in disbelief. Afterwards, some veteran sailors who had been running the sea for many years replied with intoxicated expressions and voices, "That's right, it's the smell of the Atlantic Ocean!" "My home is in the Azores, I grew up familiar with the smell of the Atlantic, yes, this is the Atlantic Ocean and we are back," he said. ”
"Oh!!"
The sailors cheered, took off their sailor's hats and threw them into the sky. Everyone carnivals in their own way, and who can escape from the wind and waves that are rare in a hundred years like them. Not only that, but they have also come to a mysterious fantasy kingdom, the realm of elves. Moreover, they had been there for a few days, witnessing the elves and having more contact with the elves. If it weren't for the cargo in the full cabin, they themselves would not have believed that they had found the legendary elf on a voyage to sea, although they did not find China!
Everyone knows very well what awaits them once they return to Europe. Naturally, they will be treated like heroes and honors, and each of them will be the guest of honor of the kings and nobles of the continent. At that time, there must have been a great number of nobles who invited them to various gatherings and asked them to tell what they had seen from the elves.
Compared to China, the elves are clearly more interesting to everyone. Because the two, in the legend, are different races, one is a human and the other is an elf. They will use a more fanatical pursuit than they do with China, and then chase after the elves, then this shipload of goods will be sold for a sky-high price in Europe!
Therefore, at this moment, they are eager to return to Europe at once; Then, let his name spread throughout Europe thoroughly, and let his deeds and experiences be recorded in the annals of history. Mankind will sing their praises, and all sailors will remember them and be proud of them! Perhaps, they will also take this opportunity to be sanctified in one fell swoop. There is a 'saint' hanging on the front of the name, haha, it makes people's blood boil when they think about it!
"Boys, let's go home, the golden knighthood and the beauties are waiting for us!" First mate Smith raised his arms and cheered, and the sailors echoed his cheers. Now, they are desperate to return to Europe and tell the world about their legendary sailing experience. And they, too, will become enviable broadmen with a boatload of elf goods!
Even if the gold was provided by the royal family, they still had a share of the cargo of this ship. Because this is the condition that has been negotiated with each other at the beginning.
Enthusiastic sailors climbed the ropes, lowered the sails, the helmsmen fine-tuned the direction, and the sea breeze blowing, puffing up the full sails to officially set sail and return to Europe! It took them half a month to get a distant view of the continental coastline of Europe. Because of the elven commodity factor of a ship, everyone is very careful to steer the ship, for fear that the ship will have an accident. However, the sturdy sailboat that has undergone the transformation and repair of the elven technology is so strong that this is not possible. However, from the captain to the ordinary sailors, they still drove cautiously, for fear that the sailing too fast would ruin the goods purchased from the elves.
Therefore, the sailing ship that sailed at an extremely slow speed along the way took half a month to reach its destination. When they saw the clearly visible coastline of the mainland, everyone was excited. Then, the sails were all lowered to catch as much wind as possible, and then the streamlined bow broke through the waves and sailed towards Seville in Castile.
History in parallel time and space has changed at the very beginning; The existence of the New World was learned from the discovery of the Caribbean islands and then a glimpse of the Americas. Instead, they leapfrog the Americas and discover an elven realm that shouldn't exist. However, there is no doubt that the age of the Great Voyage will come.
Closer to the coastline, more and more merchant ships and navies of countries along the way were found in the waters where the Agalites traveled. There are Tang people goods embroidered with Xuanyao patterns and written 'Tang' on the mast. There were also ships flying the flags of European countries, and their destination, of course, was only one, and that was the Tang country in the Mediterranean. Today, it is the economic center of the whole of Europe, the center of trade, and the final meeting place of East and West. Every day, on that large and prosperous island, the goods and gold and silver handled by the various ports were staggering, enviable to the point of envy.
However, the dense number of warships patrolling back and forth on the Mediterranean Sea made countless people only envious, and they did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step! Now, when their elven modified 'white ship' sails to Seville. Every merchant ship that passed by looked at their white ship with a look of amazement, a type they had never seen before. At first, I thought it was a merchant ship from another country. However, when they saw the Castile flag fluttering on the mast, they knew that this elegant and beautiful white ship belonged to Castile.
Therefore, every captain muttered in his heart, how Castile shipbuilding skills, everyone knows. It was impossible for them to build such elegant and beautiful white ships, their shipbuilding technology was not well developed. In the whole of Europe, there is only one first-class country in terms of shipbuilding technology, and that is the evil dragon in the Mediterranean, those Tang people. Their shipbuilding technology is the best, and even the merchant ships and even warships of European countries are built in the style of the ships of the Tang people. It's just that when did Castile, a country suppressed by the Moors, actually build such a beautiful white ship? This is the answer that every captain wants to know most urgently.
Agalit, and each of his sailors, stood proudly on deck with their heads held high, enjoying the gaze of the crowd. Everyone's heart is dark, and this kind of attention is so enjoyable. Later, when their ships were called into port, the port officials recognized them, apparently not expecting them to return so quickly. Moreover, what the ships looked like when they went out, the officials knew very well. It's just that they didn't expect that when they came back again, the ship would change dramatically. This made the officials very curious, so he asked them, but the answer he got made his mouth open wide!
"You didn't find China, but you found the elves?" When officials first started, the first thought that came to their minds was that they were lying en masse. "Captain Agalit, elves don't exist, they only exist in legends. And you have been hired by His Majesty to explore the route to China for him, not to let you go to sea for sightseeing, and then make up a non-existent spirit to try to deceive His Majesty. ”
"Sir, in my cabin, there are goods from the elves. I think you can see that they are made differently from China. Moreover, I have brought with me many books of the elves, whose writings I don't think you know either. But, for sure, and I believe, that no human nation can make the goods in my cabin. Although, this is not enough proof for me that I have been to the elves, however, I think they are worth enough. ”
