Chapter Seventy-Four: Judgment

Sailing on the sea is generally boring, and after looking at the constant scenery of the sea for a long time, you may even be confused about whether you are moving or not.

At this time, the Stoic had been on the sea for more than ten days, and the young people with no sailing experience had long since lost their initial excitement, leaving only boredom and boredom.

And boredom.

"Ah...... How long is it going, Laura, I'm starting to get bored. ”

A young girl with short black hair and Asian looks slumped in a chair and asked Laura, who was researching the literature.

"I don't know, Sanmantha, that sailing on the sea is so unpredictable, and besides, what we're looking for is the legendary Yamatai."

Laura lifted her head buried in the literature and replied to her good friend.

Sanmantha Nishimura, a British-American of mixed Portuguese and Japanese descent, is both college classmates and best friends with Laura.

Because Laura was desperate for an expedition, Sanmantha soon came to work as a documentary producer and translator for the expedition for her good friend.

She believes that Laura can make discoveries, and hopes that she can be there to witness and document it.

In addition, her identity is also a reason, she grew up listening to her grandmother tell the story of Queen Yamatai, and she naturally will not give up the opportunity to find her ancestors.

The two combined, and Sanmantha joined the expedition.

……

"I know, I know, I'm just complaining." Sanmantha fiddled with her camera and sighed.

"Hehe, young people just can't hold their breath."

A sturdy old man with a white beard came over with a smile, and he was the captain of the salvage ship, Conrad Ross.

After glancing around, Rose looked at Sanmantha again and laughed, "Little Laura and Xiao Xia Yu are both studying the literature, and I don't think they're bored." ”

"Both of them are archaeology majors, I'm not, I studied documentary filmmaking, and that's my specialty."

As she spoke, Sanmantha raised the camera in her hand and pointed it at Rose.

"Come, Captain Ross laugh, I'll shoot you wisely."

"Hehe, then I'll thank you in advance for the shooting."

Time passes slowly in a boring voyage, and after a few inconsequential rainy days, Laura gradually solves the mysteries in the remaining literature.

It was about the location of the Lost Kingdom's Yamatai, and while she was sure, she wasn't sure if anyone would trust her judgment.

After all, she's just a recent college graduate, but there's a prestigious Ph.D. on board.

James Whitman, an expert in both archaeology and anthropology, received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and has taught at several universities around the world.

He is also the host of the popular archaeology television show "Whitman's World" and has an unusual thirst for wealth and fame.

But Dr. Whitman's recent bad luck and the failure of his family and business led to an urgent need to find something new and appealing.

So he invested in the expedition and secretly hoped that the Endurance trip would bring new material to his new show, and that the record would bring a whole host of sponsors to please him.

With the prestigious doctor present, Laura doesn't know if anyone else will agree with her judgment, but she's confident that her judgment isn't wrong.

"Xia Yu, do you think I should tell everyone this judgment and even change our original course?"

The tangled Laura asked her boyfriend on the side, Xia Yu was also researching with her, so she was able to solve the mystery so early.

"Hmm...... Laura, you've done more research on Yamatai than any of us, and in my opinion, even that Whitman can't compare to you, he's just a villain who sells his reputation. Xia Yu put down the literature in his hand, looked up at Laura and said seriously.

"Here you go again." Laura replied helplessly, "Xia Yu, why do you have such a big opinion of Dr. Whitman, I quite like his documentary." ”

"I'm generally very accurate in seeing people, and that guy will definitely do something dehumanizing for his own interests."

In the game, Whitman is a selfish villain who uses everyone on the ship as "material" for his documentary, ready to use other people's tragedies to make his exclusive revelations.

He even betrayed his companions, took refuge in the enemy, and did not hesitate to fulfill himself at the expense of others.

It was only after that Laura got to see the doctor's true face, but later in the game, Whitman was cut into meat sauce by the enemy because of his lack of self-knowledge.

Now, because of Xia Yu's obvious dislike for Whitman, Laura doesn't worship Whitman so much, and only treats the other party as a senior in the industry.

After blackening Whitman every day, Xia Yu changed his words and spoke again.

"Laura, you have to trust your own judgment, I trust you, Ross and Sanmantha also believe in you, this is not comfort, but the truth."

"So, be bold and say your guess, and we'll definitely support you."

Hearing this, Laura was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm...... Thank you, Xia Yu. ”

The brief exchange soon ended, and the two were once again immersed in the ancient texts, the ship still moving slowly, without wind and waves.

The next day, the deck of the salvage ship.

Captain Ross and helmsman Greene are cheering on their respective teams in front of the radio, and Chef Jonah is preparing lunch.

The others sat at the square tables on the deck discussing the voyage, and when Laura spoke her judgment, Whitman was immediately dissatisfied.

"Laura, there is no evidence for your judgment, we all value this expedition, and even I put all my wealth into it."

"I know, that's why we should go east, not west."

Hearing this, Whitman said coldly: "Who would believe it, no one would believe that Yamatai would be in such an eastern place, there is no such thing written in the book." ”

"But the author of those books hasn't found Yamatai either......" Sanmantha interjected suddenly.

As if to be dismissed, Whitman was a little angry and said, "I can't risk my reputation for unfounded intuition." ”

"However, I discussed with Xia Yu and Ross that we should not follow in the footsteps of our predecessors, Dr. Whitman." Laura explained with some eagerness.

"Huh? So what do you mean ......"

"It seems that the famous Dr. Whitman is actually a coward with no adventurous spirit."

Just when Whitman wanted to continue to say something, Xia Yu also opened his mouth to mock.

"You little ghost, I'm the chief archaeologist on this ship, and I should be in charge." Whitman, who was being ridiculed, said with an ugly face.

If it weren't for his own show, he wouldn't have mixed with this group of people.

"But Doctor, if we continue east, we will be able to enter the Dragon Triangle directly, and that is our destination."

Laura wants to continue explaining, and her companions support Laura.
