Chapter 643
Nathan and Edward had not taken a few steps when Nathan, who was talking with his head tilted, was hit hard and almost fell down.
He steadied himself and wanted to see which rash guy it was.
The person who bumped into him was even more embarrassed than him and fell directly to the ground.
But the man immediately jumped up from the ground and started shouting.
"It's round! It's really round!"
There was no pain at all on his face, but instead he was full of excitement, even crazy.
Dancing like a drunkard who has been drinking all night.
"Since it is round, everything can be explained! The moon, as well as the stars, all the questions about them now have answers."
"Boooooo! My teacher, how wonderful it would be if you were alive now, how wonderful it would be if you could witness this moment in person.”
The man was laughing and crying at the same time, looking completely unreasonable.
With the other person's appearance, Nathan and Edward consciously stayed away from him.
"Look, Edward."
Nathan looked at the madman with pity and sighed: "What a poor guy."
——
Cable was in an excited mood now.
I traveled thousands of miles and took a boat from Cape Bay to Northwest Bay. This trip was really worth it.
He has never been so excited after becoming an astrologer... No, maybe he has been, but these days have been so bitter that those beautiful days have become distant. memories.
As an astrologer in the Kingdom of Collins, he was taught by the long-famous astrologer Viscount Brar. He originally had a bright future, and if nothing else happened, he would become a teacher like him in a few years. Like a court favorite, wealth and status are at your fingertips.
But a murder ended it all. Viscount Brar, who opposed the war, died inexplicably.
The reason given by the official investigation is very ridiculous - Viscount Brar was suffocated to death.
Cable, who found it ridiculous, insisted on re-investigating the cause of the teacher's death.
Then he fled after being reminded by a mysterious note.
Cable later found out that after he escaped, he became the murderer of the teacher. The reason for the murder was that he coveted the teacher's stargazing records for many years.
Cable was very angry at being wronged in his hometown.
After he escaped from Collins, he came to the Horn League and used his mathematical knowledge to find a job as an accountant.
As for the original professional astrologer, forget about it. How could the Corner Bay Alliance use a Corinthian as an astrologer?
I thought I could temporarily settle down, but as the conflicts between the coastal countries and the inland countries began to intensify rapidly, it became increasingly difficult for the Corinthians like Cable who were in the Horn Alliance.
He accepted the advice of his Aldo friend Lister and left the Horn before the war officially broke out.
Also, after the war breaks out, if he is in an inland country, he will be arrested as a murderer. If he is in a coastal country, there is a high chance that he will be arrested as a spy for inland people. Then only I can now run to places other than Kakuwan.
In this way, Cable boarded a passenger ship to the northwest bay of Aldo. Under Lister's introduction, Cable had a good impression of the northwest bay, and there were also a large number of Cape Bay people making a living there.
As an astrologer, Cable and his teacher Viscount Brar have always been supporters of the theory of a round earth, because many of the celestial changes they observed can only be achieved if the earth is round. It can only be explained below.
For example, some stars will rise higher as you go north, some new stars will appear on the northern horizon, and some stars will set on the southern horizon.
For another example, during a lunar eclipse, the shape of the earth projected onto the moon is a circle.
Although there are various inferences, astrologers have been suffering from the lack of direct evidence.
Today, in this land thousands of miles away from Cape Bay, Cable finally received direct evidence of the round earth theory. Aldo actually took the boat in a circle.
What evidence is more intuitive than this? So great!
Cable was so excited that after he accidentally hit someone and fell to the ground, he felt no pain and forgot to apologize.
He ran towards the dock with all his strength to greet the returning hero! ——
"Look! They are all here to greet us!"
The deputy said loudly to Gulen while waving his arms towards the surging crowd.
“Yes, we are finally home!”
Glen could not hide his excitement.
“The earth is round, we have confirmed it!”
"We went around the earth in a circle!"
The team members around them kept shouting to the crowd, and received enthusiastic responses every time.
When they sailed into the port on a ship that was about to fall apart and explained that they were a returning exploration team, people didn't seem surprised.
After all, the other two exploration teams have returned before them, and Port Fulan has had several similar experiences.
But after they revealed that they were the Western exploration team that was rumored to have been completely wiped out, and that they had returned from the east after circling the earth, people who knew the news began to become uneasy.
Due to Alda's emphasis on education, most people here know that there is such a strange theory as the round earth in the world. Although it is counter-intuitive, it can indeed explain many phenomena.
In Arda's previous propaganda, the lord sent out an exploration fleet to verify whether the theory of a round earth was true.
The lords have paid so much attention to it. If they can prove whether it is true or false, it must be a great achievement - this is what most people think.
And traveling around the world is an amazing feat - something the other two exploration fleets have not accomplished.
Now the locals can puff up their chests and show off to all the outsiders: Listen up, you bumpkins, the first people to travel around the world were the Ardaans, and they also proved that the earth is round.
So the news spread quickly to the entire city.
People kept coming to watch. Grant and others had been off the boat for a long time, and they were still stuck in the dock area without getting out.
Handshakes, hugs, waves, even signatures, these actions are repeated constantly.
“Get out of the way! Get out of my way!”
The dense crowd was squeezed out of the way.
A team of police officers arrived in front of Gulen and others.
"Hello, Mr. Grant!"
The leader said to him with admiration, "The mayor invites you and your team members to the central square, that place Very spacious. I think everyone is very curious about your adventures. You can tell the people about your adventures there. "
"Thank you, I would be happy to do so."
Glen. He took off his hair and greeted the police chief in front of him.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the team members who were captured by the indigenous people on another continent.
I hope Heavenly Father will keep them safe.
