"I'm the captain of a ship, and I'm my sailor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Although Magellan said this, these people did not show disappointed expressions, and their leader stepped forward to introduce himself with a smile.
"So, Mr. Captain," Magellan's tone was airy, with a hint of self-righteousness and sarcasm, "what is your plan?"
"Keep going. ā
Magellan laughed, he was so drunk that he wanted to laugh or cry almost all the time.
"Forward...... Okay, let's go. ā
Magellan rubbed shoulders with the group, walking into the path they had carved out in the bushes when they came, and making their way on.
The sailors, led by the captain, followed, and without saying a word, they just buried their heads in the way, and followed whatever Magellan went, even in circles.
Time passed slowly, and when Magellan returned to the place where he had set out for the tenth time, there was one more Satie.
He was a half-sheep man like no other, for there was not a hint of a smile on his face or eyes, and his demeanor was not ridiculous, and a man who looked at him would not laugh.
"A drunkard leads a group of professional murderers, well, the combination that Bacchus likes, maybe he personally brokered ......"
"What's your name, Satie?"
Magellan spoke in a lazy tone, with a kind of unprovoked indifference.
"My name is Thinker. ā
"Then Mr. Sati, thinker, I am a messenger sent by the god of wine, and you must need help, speak. ā
Satie laughed, but there was no exaggeration at all, only real ecstasy.
"Some things are great as long as they exist, and even as long as they have existed. But I can do more than that," said the half-sheep man as he walked excitedly, "I'm sure Bacchus will understand how crazy this is, so he'll help me and thank the gods......"
"I have a plan, and I must live until that plan is completed, because I am the only one who ......"
While Satie was in the middle of his game, his speech was interrupted.
A group of centaurs burst out of the dense forest and surrounded the place. The earth shook to the sound of horses' hooves, and the warrior's cry was like a thunderbolt.
Then everyone laughed.
Because every centaur has a half-sheep man lying on his back.
The only one who didn't laugh was the thinker, who seemed to be lying in front of Magellan, grabbing his arm and begging, "Help me, or they will kill me." ā
"Satie kills?" Magellan laughed.
For some reason, the laughing Magellan believed the thinker, he turned around with a smile and whispered in the captain's ear: "Run." ā
Then the captain and his sailors ran.
Two sailors carried Magellan, and two thinkers, and they passed the centaurs and half-sheep who had collapsed to the ground laughing maniacally, and rushed into the forest.
Magellan didn't know where the captain was going, but he wasn't worried at all, the world was like clouds flowing in the wind, glowing beautifully in the sun's rays.
When the sailors stopped, Magellan looked around and found himself on top of a small hill.
"Hey, are you soldiers?" the thinker noticed this earlier than Magellan, and with a serious and excited face, he walked up to the captain and said excitedly, "This is the best place in the dense forest, you can detect all the movements in the forest in advance, you have chosen this place, you must be a general!"
"Ha, a Satie actually knows so much. The smile on Magellan's face was a mixture of arrogance and mockery, which was unpleasant.
"It's a joke. The thinker said dryly.
Then Magellan and Satie laughed together, laughing so hard that they collapsed to the ground.
"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, you're a Satie. ā
The captain and his men did not smile, but he saw the smiles on their faces as the sturdy warriors hurried past Magellan.
"We'll have to spend the night here, the centaurs should catch up soon......"
Magellan spoke suddenly, interrupting the captain, who was giving orders.
"Follow me, the scenery is better at night. ā
The captain was stunned, and before he could make a decision, the thinker let out a wail, rushed up to him, hugged him, and began to pray: "Don't listen to this drunken madman, the centaur will crush us!"
As if to prove that he was right, no sooner had the thinker finished speaking than a loud noise was heard in the distant woods, and a group of centaurs went on a rampage, leaving a mess behind them.
"Let's go. The captain was succinct and to the point, and then he followed Magellan, who was walking towards the centaur, and behind him, the warriors set up the half-sheep with a desperate face, and followed closely.
"It's not the same place as it was when I first came," Magellan said drunkenly as he walked, "because then I thought I was sober, and now I know I'm drunk." ā
"It's a pity that I'm unlikely to see with my own eyes what you're talking about, it takes a lot of effort to get here," the captain said, and there was a lot hidden in his tone, "I'm unlikely to have the chance to come again." ā
"Anything that happens in this forest can be the same," Magellan said, accidentally tripping over a branch on the ground, "and the god of wine likes it." ā
"That's a mighty god, and his power is awe-inspiring. ā
The captain spoke sincerely, but the thinker scolded: "It is indeed a powerful god, but he has nothing to fear!"
Except for Magellan, everyone who heard this, even Satie himself, who said it, was startled and looked around in horror, as if the divine punishment of Dionysus was about to fly out from behind the trunk of some great tree.
"You don't know what such a crazy place means, not even Dionysus himself can guarantee that his family Sati will not be killed!
"But that doesn't sound bad, the immortal body ......"
"Ha, yes, so a Satie who has been crazy enough in a hundred years, because a centaur gets drunk, has to start from scratch and turn back to all the stupid Sati when he was born. Do you know how obsessed Dionysus is with true madness, and yet he can only watch as his closest relatives to success are gone, and nothing can be done!"
"If you want me to say, it's remarkable that you've lived for hundreds of years," Magellan tripped again, "but it has nothing to do with you, it's not you who is great." ā
"That's why I'm going to live!"
