"You even betrayed your companion ......"

"I'm not hiding the route map because of the story of the Mo family, as for those explorers...... It wasn't betrayal, it was slaughter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Why?"

Magellan smiled: "What are you asking?"

"Everything you did with that route map. The countess stretched out her hand and turned the glass, letting the blue flow through the room, "I know that Magellan is not afraid of the new world. ”

"No, while that's not fear, I really don't want to see a new world. Magellan thought about it, and finally decided to tell the countess about something he had never told anyone about, "I just want to get out of poverty, but those explorers want to change the world." That's exactly what I don't want to see, because of the new world that has emerged because of me. ”

"You mean...... Is there something the world is meant to be?"

The countess laughed, no doubt a joke.

"I don't belong to this world, ma'am. You can think it's a joke that the world should be the way it should be, but if I hadn't come to this world through the maelstrom......"

"You didn't come into this world through the maelstrom. The countess shook her head, "Even if you are an outsider, anyone has the power to change the world. ”

"What if that change is to plunge an entire continent into plague and war, and the end of the Holocaust?"

"You ......"

The Countess never imagined that the discovery of the New World would be like that, she imagined war and trade, but not plague and massacre, Magellan's description sounded like a civilized world invaded hundreds of years ago, a real apocalypse.

"If it weren't for me, it would still have happened, at least a few of my captain friends already knew it was possible, but I wouldn't allow it to happen sooner rather than later. ”

"And now, is all this going to happen in the original world?"

The countess frowned, put her left hand to her ear, and turned her face slightly.

"No, without that chart, no one would have the ambition to cross the ocean, and they wouldn't even be able to find a patron willing to fund their search for the Dragon Nation. ”

"When are you going to leave?"

"After your question has been answered. Magellan sighed, "I never promised anything to the Mo family, Francis...... He and the Holy See didn't come to me in trouble. ”

The countess laughed: "You know that's not what I'm asking. ”

Magellan shook his head helplessly: "I will stay with you until you let me go, ma'am." ”

......

The darkness is receding.

"Is this going to be the opportunity that won't come up until twenty-one days?"

"No," Francis said, glancing at the receding water, "it's the low tide that almost swallowed us up last time. ”

The eagleman who asked the question keenly saw the disdain on the faces of the sailors around him, he was not surprised, and even a little grateful that these people did not directly say anything ridiculous.

"And how do we know when that precious point in time will come?"

"Tides. ”

The first mate finally couldn't hold back his words, for it was a very rare and grave folly for a sailor not to know the tides.

"When we are sure that there is a cycle of more than a day, it will occur to any sailor that this dark action is related to the tides, which means that there is a safe time once a month. ”

Francis was in a good mood, so good that he was willing to repeat this most basic common sense from the beginning.

"And how long are we going to wait?"

The Hawkman was the only one of all the sailors who didn't stagger around with Rum in his arms, and he stood on the reef, looking like an eagle ready to fly.

"Eleven days to go. After the moon is gone, the low tide of the month should arrive, and on the eighth day after that day, the low tide will reach here. ”

"Interesting calculations, it sounds a lot like calculating on an airship when the wind will blow away the clouds and let the stars show. ”

"Hmm......" the sailors looked curious, "is there anything like that on an airship?"

In the end, however, Rum left no one among them to ask the answer to the question, and the rare cloudy day was drowsy, and the waves lulled people to sleep, and none of the sailors refused the invitation.

Francis got up and left with the Hawkman.

The eagleman returned to the ship, where he always slept on the lookout at the top of the mast, and Francis had another thing to do—the pious people of the Holy See wanted to see him.

"A friend of yours did something really remarkable. ”

"Ah," Francis was a little surprised, "what happened?"

"Magellan is moving eastward, and at that speed, there is no doubt that he got on the airship, and has now crossed the channel, perhaps his destination is Francie. ”

"Well......" Francis laughed, "isn't it true that the Holy See has found some of his friends?"

"Actually......"

There is an eerie silence in the building, and at the same time Francis and the pious discover that they know little about something so important.

"Who?"

"I don't know. ”

"Anyway, it's good news. ”

Francis was quickly relieved, but he did not convince the pious.

"Magellan could still be here at any moment, and although the complex air currents over this area make airships inaccessible, as long as he is determined to come to us, the trouble will not go away. ”

"There are only a handful of people in the world who have such a fast airship, maybe the king of the world, or the king of Britannia, Magellan has been convinced, otherwise he would not have gone that far. Francis looked at the map with a smile, "He's already in Franci, and the Magellan I know doesn't have that much patience." ”

"What if he's on an airship and jumping to die?"

Then he would jump and everyone would be surprised to find out that he was not dead. Magellan does not accept threats and never wastes time. ”

In the end, Francis convinces the devout with an irrefutable sentence.

"Whether Magellan comes here or not, all we can do is wait, don't we?"

"Hopefully everything will be as science wants......"

Science seemed to have really heard the prayers of the devout, and while Francis had sailed the sailboat into the narrow channel left by the receding darkness, Magellan still did not appear, and everything seemed to be going well, and even the sea breeze blew in the direction of their head, making the sailors raise their sails with great joy.

The sun slowly emerged from the middle of the clouds, as if it were dispelling the darkness beneath the surface of the sea with its light, and everything seemed to be bright, like the future through the eyes of sailors.
