Shopkeeper Fu and the others hid him in the cabin of the ship, and used many baskets and other miscellaneous items to hide them...... Although most of the baskets in the cabin were empty, they could not hold up the many sea fish that had been in these baskets. The smell of the basket stained Firut's body, and the smell was naturally extremely sour.

"Oh, damn it......" Firut said, looking down and sniffing his sleeve lightly, before taking out a small bottle of liquid and spraying it on himself. Damn, I've spilled a lot of perfume, but I can't hide the weird smell......"

Unbeknownst to him, the smell of stinky fish mixed with the rich perfume made the smell on his body even more sour.

Shopkeeper Fu and Fang Maozi and the others looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this Rakshasa devil was really as sloppy as rumored, and they all stinked like this, and they didn't know whether to take a shower or twist a cloth to wipe it. They didn't know that not bathing was a custom of the Xiyi aristocracy today. Due to the rampant diseases in the West, Western medicine is in a very obscurantist period, and doctors believe that bathing will make the pores dilate, leading to the entry of poisonous gases, and it is a very dangerous thing to wash off the body dirt. Therefore, these Xiyi people will not take a bath easily throughout their lives.

However, the sour smell really lowered the demeanor of the aristocratic lords, so these perfume and incense powder and other things became their usual things.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally arrived at their companion's side, and Firut, who was very relieved, complained to Philip: "Damn the Ming court, all our ships and goods in the port of Hangzhou have been seized...... That's all the belongings we've gotten back and forth between Fengmingzhou and Daming in the past two years......" Speaking of this, Firut still felt a lot of pain.

"The country of the Ming people is too strong...... They are accustomed to saying the same, after all, he is like an invincible giant, and no country in the world can compete with him. Philip said. If we want to recover our goods, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. ”

The recovery of the goods is still secondary, the key is that once the Ming Dynasty refuses to communicate with them, their route to Fengmingzhou will be cut off. This is a route flowing with an endless stream of gold, and the thought of not being able to go to Fengming Continent to make money again makes Philip and Firut extremely depressed.

"Damn, God is too partial to the Ming Dynasty...... Let them be alone in the center of the world, give them such fertile land and civilization, but put Fengmingzhou to the east of them...... If our country wants to reach Fengming Continent, it has to pass through this overlord who dominates the center of the world. As long as they keep this place, they will always be able to grasp the route to Fengming Continent......" Firut complained.

"Maybe not." Philip said suddenly. "When I was in Fengmingzhou, I once met an official who was exiled by the Ming Dynasty......"

"The official said that King Zhou of the Ming Kingdom once said that this world is likely to be a round ......"

"Round?" Firut was stunned. "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Philip looked a little excited. "His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, you have also seen it. I hate to admit it, but God, that's definitely the smartest and most knowledgeable man in the world. ”

"It was he who proposed the existence of Feng Mingzhou before he discovered Feng Mingzhou, it was he who created the loom and made the wool into the warm clothes of the Chinese people, and he was also a great military strategist and an outstanding educator...... Although he is very young, he is the most famous wise man in the Ming Dynasty today...... We have to admit that there are far more wise people in China than in our hometown, and after learning Chinese, I realized how profound their wisdom is. ”

"I think it is very likely that the theory published by such a wise man is the reality. But it's a pity that the knowledge of the Guozijian is strictly guarded against us foreigners, and although we have bought it from many sources, we can only get these words......" Philip said.

Compared to Firut, he Philip was more of an adventurer, a scholar who aspired to be virtuous. Of course, his nature is still greedy, and the reason why he pursues knowledge is because he knows that knowledge can bring abundant benefits to himself......

"But even if the world is round, what's the use?" Firut still seemed uninterested. "What God has created the world is something that the church should be concerned about...... What does it have to do with us? ”

"Stupid! I didn't understand this! Philip said. If the world is really round, then as long as we sail west from our own country......"

"You will be able to bypass Daming's obstruction and arrive at Fengming Continent!"

Hearing that he could re-arrive in Fengmingzhou, Filut became interested. But after thinking about it, I was still a little frustrated: "What you said is just your guess." ”

"In case this is just the rumor deliberately released by the King of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty...... These Ming people are so despicable that each of them can flow pus enough to drown Britain. ”

"If it's just them deceiving us, we'll go all the way west and we'll only die on the surface of the sea......"

"So, I need to interrogate more Ming people to confirm this claim......" Philip said.

Firut was still not optimistic, interrupted him and said to himself: "Moreover, it is said that the fleet of the Ming Dynasty has also conquered India and Central Asia, occupying the entire sea route. In case we are not allowed to land and resupply ...... along the way."

"It's very difficult for us to even return to our home country!"

"I know." Philip nodded, but there was a fierce glint in his eyes. "So, I had a bold idea......"

……

Shopkeeper Fu only heard what the two Rakshasa devils were dancing and saying as soon as they met, he couldn't understand the language of the Rakshasa people, he only knew that the other party was talking about birds while muttering, and his eyes were fierce, obviously not playing any good ideas.

Then the red-haired man named Firut came and explained the situation to them, and then led them to begin to familiarize themselves with many things on the deck, wiping the deck, pulling the sails, and all kinds of affairs.

These White Lotus cultists, who were born as fishermen, quickly got into the work on the boat, and Shopkeeper Fu, Fang Maozi and others were also secretly familiar with the structure of the boat while doing their work every day. Just wait for this ship to dock someday in a foreign land far away from the Ming Dynasty, and find a way to seize the ship first.

Until this day, Fang Maozi secretly found Shopkeeper Fu when he was wiping the deck: "Shopkeeper, something is not right." ”

"Look at the course of these rakshasas in the past few days...... Not quite like you're heading west? ”
