Chapter 177: Manny's Mission (Recommend!Subscription!)
Goverly Manny walked nervously on the road, and today he planned to go to the Duke's palace one last time to ask to see the Duke of Sakura, and if he still did not see the Duke of Sakura, he would leave the island of Öland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, he doesn't want to leave this island, although most mainlanders have a sense of rejection of everything related to the sea, but Manny is the opposite, he likes the sea, he likes everything related to the sea, because every time he sees the blue water, he will feel a breath of freedom from it, he likes freedom, he is born for freedom!
Of course, the reason why he likes Öland is not only that, the most important thing is that he really feels the breath of freedom and sunshine on this island, just like the feeling brought to him by the sea, if there is a choice, he really does not want to leave this free and beautiful island!
However, he has no choice, he has his mission!
When he was not yet 17 years old, he formed a fleet with his like-minded friends, and they simply built a sailboat, and at first, they just wanted to see what was on the sea, to see what was on the endless sea, and to feel the sea breeze, but slowly, they went farther and farther...... The farther and farther you go......
One day, they discovered the first unknown island in their lives, and they landed on it with trepidation and anticipation.
On that island, they found a group of people who had lived there, who looked a little different from them, and whose complexions were different, but who treated them with great hospitality, who entertained them with a lot of good food and drink, and who told them to come back next time before they left the island.
They continued their voyage, and soon, they found the second, the third, and the fourth...... More islands, big and small, with different landscapes, some inhabited and some uninhabited! But this was just the beginning, because it didn't take long for them to discover more on the different islands!
Resources including ores, medicinal herbs, rare metals, and more!
Those resources that are very scarce on the mainland, such as the purple mother, such as the magic crystal, such as the Qihong fruit, which is regarded as a miracle medicine in the pill world, abound in these islands in the sea, and many islands even have a variety of these resources at the same time, and there are quite a few of them, but the mainlanders don't know anything about it.
Because the mainlanders have never liked the sea, the whole continent is almost blank in the field of navigation technology, and although Manny and his friends can barely build a ship with enthusiasm and a spirit of not admitting defeat, the performance of that ship can be imagined.
As they made more discoveries, the number of companions who traveled with Manny became smaller and smaller.
After each voyage, at least ten lives were lost on that sea, and although he felt sad, Manny thought that maybe that was the price they had to pay if they wanted to be free, so every time he wiped away his tears and continued on the next voyage!
On each voyage, he would write down in detail what he had seen and heard, and the resources he had investigated, and he would regard them as more important than his own life. Except when he was taking notes, he would seal them in a waterproof sealed bag.
Once, Manny and his friend were sailing at sea when they encountered a storm overnight, and his fragile sailboat was on the verge of capsizing, and Manny's first thought was to save the notebooks he had in his possession. If they hadn't been out of danger, Manny was sure he would have thrown the notebooks in the waterproof bag overboard before he was completely submerged, so that maybe one day they would be picked up and found by the mainlanders.
At the time of Manny's first voyage, there were dozens of them, but by the time of the fifth voyage, there were fewer than eight of them, including Manny.
Manny knew that they couldn't sail any longer, and they couldn't sail anymore!
Looking at the thick stack of notebooks in his hand, Manny's heart was filled with satisfaction, it was not his wealth alone, but the common wealth of a group of people who longed for freedom and had the courage to explore!
Thinking of the friends he had lost on his voyages, Manny decided to make his discoveries public, and let the mainlanders know that there was so much more to be tapped beyond the mainland of Ceylon. If the entire continent prospered more because of their discovery, they would be the benefactor of the entire continent, which Manny had thought so proudly more than once.
At the end of the voyage, Manny's first choice was his own country, a small and ordinary country on the eastern side of the continent bordering the Noah Sea. Although he wants to benefit the entire continent, people are emotional animals, and when he really makes a choice, he will definitely give preference to the one who is closer to him, which is human nature!
Manny, however, had a hot face on his cold ass, and when he went with his notes to ask for the king of their country, the guards beat him away as soon as he took out a few tattered notebooks, without even giving him a chance to speak!
Manny then went to other countries bordering the land of his home country, where he was treated in much the same way as he had suffered in his own country.
Seeing that he was dressed in tattered clothes, everyone treated him like a beggar full of nonsense, and even if some kind guards were willing to give him a chance to speak, when they heard him mention the word "sea", they all instantly lost patience with him.
Manny was not willing to give up, and after visiting more than a dozen countries to no avail, he finally lowered his standards, and instead of asking to see the king, he began to visit the territories that were divided by various countries, and asked to meet the lords of the territories!
It is indeed much easier to meet the lord of a land than to ask for a king, Manny has walked more than thirty territories, large and small, and finally has the privilege of meeting three of them, but the result is still the same.
The three lords may have decided to give Manny a chance to meet, and one of them slammed the door and left after Manny told him what he meant. The other two listened to what Manny had to say, but one of them was visibly careless, while the other, while listening to Manny, sneered at Manny from time to time, and the whole time, none of them offered to see the notebooks and drawings that Manny was holding.
