Magellan felt that he would never get used to being squeezed in the center of a crowd because he would not encounter this kind of thing a second time.

Then the "ceremony" arranged by the Royal Society to complete the commission arrived as scheduled.

Magellan was taken by the countess's carriage to the Society of Explorers, and as the countess had told him in advance, there were already countless explorers gathered here.

"Is it really good to let everyone know that this is arranged?"

Magellan asked this question, in fact, simply because he couldn't stand being squeezed in the middle of the crowd and staring, and he knew as well as the countess that this was the best arrangement.

"Now all explorers already know that the Countess has received something of great value, more than anything they could have imagined, so no matter how ostentatious the reward we arrange for you, it will only make the flame of greed grow stronger, and this is an essential step in the true formation of the Explorers' Guild. ”

"Why do you use the word pompous?"

Magellan sighed helplessly, and he began to wonder if the countess had come up with another unexpected idea.

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

The smile on the countess's face was plain and sincere, which made Magellan feel danger from the bottom of his heart.

Then the carriage stopped.

"Anyone?"

Magellan was well aware that they had not yet reached their destination.

"Yes, from here, you can only walk through. ”

The countess opened the car door, and when Magellan stepped down, he understood what Helen was talking about.

The streets were already crowded with explorers, and at least the carriages would never be able to move on.

"Luckily, not everyone here knows me......"

Magellan suddenly had a little hope that the countess would go with him, but Helen, who saw through his thoughts, refused without hesitation.

"There can only be one protagonist in this drama, and that is the explorer. ”

"Are you laughing at me?"

Magellan glanced at the countess, and there was only a perfect smile on her perfect face.

"Yes. ”

After saying this, the countess boarded the carriage and left.

Magellan turned around, sighed at the crowd, and began to struggle.

Fortunately, most of the people here didn't know him, so at least the journey didn't evolve into a crowd of people who didn't want to get out of the way, and Magellan's mobile clothes were standard for explorers, so they didn't look conspicuous.

But the second half of the road is getting tougher.

The explorers were getting denser and denser, and there were ordinary citizens among them, and Magellan was even a little surprised why these people didn't fight.

Everyone huddled with strangers, and the smell of the air made Magellan wonder if they had lost the ability to think, and in any case, the drama had to have a grand ending.

Then Magellan came to the door of the Explorers' Guild.

The shabby two-story building was crowded in front of a number of people who made people's scalps tingle, but in front of the door, some invisible force pushed away the crowd with terrifying force, leaving a small semicircle.

The sight made Magellan's throat dry.

The air was filled with a low hum, like a prelude to some kind of loud burst of sound that never seemed to end.

Magellan sighed silently and stepped out of the crowd.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him, making Magellan feel like an insect in the focus of a magnifying glass on a sunny day.

There was a commotion in the crowd, then a quick silence, and everyone silently followed Magellan, keeping a distance, and squeezed into the Explorers' Guild.

Here Magellan saw the staff who were just as nervous as he was.

At first, he was a little surprised, because most of the time the Explorers' Guild would not have staff, and the tasks and payments were done on machines, and then Magellan understood in an instant why.

Gold coins are piled up in the center of the hall.

It was a mountain of gold without any exaggeration, with the top touching the ceiling and taking up most of the hall, leaving only a little space for Magellan.

Then a terrible chaos struck.

Magellan didn't know when the frenzied crowd tore down the entire wall of the building against the street, or when he was carried out into the street by the frenzied crowd.

Although he could have escaped, Magellan eventually cooperated with this pompous performance.

......

"Welcome, Grand Explorer Magellan. ”

The Countess could always do whatever she wanted, as now, and the flat smile on Helen's face made it impossible for Magellan to tell whether she was mocking or not.

"I'm not ......"

"No, you are. ”

Sir Cook made no secret of his excitement, it was an internal gathering of academics, and Sir had no reason to be restrained.

"I just ...... according to the arrangement"

"There's no way the academy could have arranged for you to find a relic of a god," Sir Cook's smile looked almost like he was about to retire, "and that's a miracle." ”

"That's what Professor Helen discovered, and I'm just an entourage, like in the story, who doesn't understand anything, just carrying luggage on the road. ”

Magellan was serious, but it seemed like everyone here thought it was a joke.

"Now that you're a great explorer, the Guild is up and running, what a great thing......"

"No, I will not sign Professor Helen's paper. ”

Now everyone knows that Magellan is not joking.

"No, I'll add your name. The countess took it for granted to dispel all the astonishment, "I have the right to judge, and you are nothing more than a retinue. ”

Magellan froze for a moment, then sighed.

"Okay......"

......

What followed was a leisurely period of time.

Magellan hid in the Royal Academy every day, leaving only when he went to the Sherlock Holmes house, and every time he hid for fear of being discovered by explorers everywhere.

"Ah, Magellan the Great Explorer, welcome. ”

Arthur said in an exaggerated tone, lying motionless on the couch, which had become a phrase he would say every time he met Magellan since that grand drama.

"We're seriously discussing your expulsion, you're no longer fit for the Baker Street Club. ”

"What's that?" Magellan sighed as he lay comfortably on the couch, "Have I ever joined?"

"There's someone who wants to find you, Professor Magellan," Holmes mocked Arthur in a serious manner, "and that undoubtedly upsets Arthur greatly. ”

"Who?"

"A sailor who claimed to have discovered a route to the East. ”

Magellan smiled and sighed.

"What's his name?"

"Columbus. ”

Magellan smiled.

The countess was going to India, and Magellan was going to make a detour to the Land of the Dragons to make peace with her in the Forest of Brahman.

The captain that Helen prepared for Magellan was Columbus.
