Sound could not stop his hearing, masks could not disturb his vision, Magellan could clearly distinguish everyone around him, and there was no Dantes Edmond among them.
......
The man, with a butterfly mask on his face and a well-groomed beard on his exposed chin, sat in the carriage and waited patiently.
Then Dantes Edmond was stuffed into the carriage, and she had just smiled and held out her hand to a lady in the carriage, and then she was pulled into the carriage.
It's like an adventure that suddenly starts and doesn't know where to go, the show that Carnival really should be.
"Hello. β
A cheerful sound came from the man's mouth, and he seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of revelry.
"Uh...... Hello. β
Dantès was a little overwhelmed, she didn't expect a man to be waiting in the carriage.
"I'm sorry," the man said suddenly, a little awkwardly, "we'...... Recognize the wrong person. β
"Ah," said DantΓ¨s, with a wry smile, as to why a man in the carriage made sense, "it was a pleasure to be with you, goodbye." β
Then she left the carriage.
The man left in the carriage sighed silently in his heart, Magellan is such a person, he himself means countless troubles, and this time the wrong person is simply because the man did not dare to go out to observe, but just let his companions pay attention to the person wearing a golden women's mask and a black gorgeous men's dress.
And the man does not dare to go out because he will definitely be recognized by Magellan when he goes out.
Just as he was thinking this, the man who had just left returned.
"You?"
"I'm Magellan. β
When this sentence is said in a woman's voice, there is a strange sense of comical, but the man really can't laugh.
This is Magellan, always more troublesome than you think.
"You're looking for me?"
"Long time no see. β
"Ah," Magellan leaned his upper body against the back of his seat, "long time no see, fur seal." β
The sad and joyless face on the golden mask was facing the man, and there was nothing in his eyes behind the mask, and the man felt that he had traveled back in time to the distant past, when he and Magellan were still companions.
"I didn't think to pull your companion in, my people were wrong. β
"Well, we're wearing the same masks. Alright," Magellan spread his hands, "that's the end of the greetings, is there anything to find me?"
"End the trip and go back to Britannia. β
Magellan was silent, he looked at the man with nothing, his mask covering all his expressions, making this already very dangerous man even more dangerous.
"This is the will of Venice, the merchant republic, and we will not allow explorers to meddle in the trade routes of the East. β
"We went to Arafa for an archaeological excavation, and if you represent Venice, you can't be unaware of that. β
Although the voice that came out belonged to a woman, the man knew very well that this was Magellan, who would never be swayed by others, but would only be opinionated.
"Don't think we don't know anything. Your trip is to fulfill a commission from the Explorers' Guild, and if successful, the explorers will flock to it. β
"The Explorers' Guild's destination will always be the New World, and the people who built it were originally determined to find reliable explorers to protect them from the New World. β
"When the explorers see that you have made a fortune in Alpha, they will follow you, and you know from that then, right? Because explorers are such a group of people. β
"So," Magellan's tone signaled that he had lost patience, "you blame the first wave because of your fear of the tide, and that is your freedom." β
"You don't want those people to go to the East, do you. β
The man was almost desperate, and he didn't know if Magellan would kill him because of this sentence.
"That's how it was then, you killed all your companions, just because we saw that chart to the East, and think about it, it was an innumerable explorer, who had no morals, only desires, even if it was a natural disaster. If they get to the East......"
"I'm not interested in explaining the past to you. Magellan put his hand on the door of the carriage, "Don't get in my way, fur seal, you won't have such good luck next time." β
......
"Welcome back. β
Chef Pico stood in the middle of the hall on the first floor of the inn, like an iron tower, reliably stopping the masked ladies who were following the countess as they tried to storm the inn.
"Their enthusiasm is truly ......"
Magellan's heart was palpitating, and when he walked into the inn with his mask on, the ladies outside almost rushed in and tore him to shreds.
"Charisma is the most often overlooked virtue, and having a passion for good things is the opposite. β
The countess's voice provoked even more maddened anger from the ladies, and at last the chef sent the three of them back to their room, where they had lunch, and then stayed in the room all afternoon.
"So, it is the whole of Venice that is hostile to you. β
Magellan told the countess about his encounter with a fur dog, and although Magellan didn't want anyone else involved, he felt compelled to warn Helen.
"Things are not as troublesome as you think, at least not all of Venice is our enemy. β
"I don't think there's a merchant in Venice who isn't afraid of explorers. β
Magellan never imagined that one day he would become an explorer again and get into trouble because of that status, but the reality is that it will always change faster than anyone thinks.
"But few of the merchants of Venice dared to be my enemy. The countess's self-confidence is not without reason," and any great power is inevitably exploited. β
"You mean," Magellan thought it was a little incredible, but it was rightly true, "that there were also Venetian merchants who wanted to take advantage of the explorers?"
"And they are our staunchest supporters. The countess decided to end the conversation, "Don't worry, this city is full of those people. β
So in the evening, the three countesses continued to wear masks to watch the fireworks.
......
The carnival continues, but the countess and Magellan have left Venice. Captain Ezio, who had planned to stay until the end of the carnival before departing, urged them to leave early, and they set out two days earlier than planned.
The Mediterranean is as calm as ever, and life on board is particularly boring, but Magellan is not without things to do because Dantès and Chef Pi hunt for all kinds of animals in the sea every day.
