Chapter 645
“Detained some people?”
Paul felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Glen was full of apologies and lowered his voice a lot, "We visited the Goat Port on the southern continent and carried out supplies there. At first, the port officials there were very friendly and provided us with "Many conveniences"
"However, just as we were leaving the port after finishing our supplies, the opponent suddenly attacked us on a galley. We chose to fight back with artillery and got rid of their galley. , but unfortunately, a tugboat that could not be recovered was seized by the sheepmen, and a total of 8 team members became their prisoners.”
Grant stopped narrating, and there was silence in the hall. No one expected that such a depressing news would come out of the banquet that was supposed to welcome the return of the adventure hero.
Paul broke the silence, his face remained calm, "Great careers are always accompanied by sacrifices, which is inevitable. The same is true for the northern exploration team led by Stanford. Half of the people in the North were killed or injured by the epidemic. As long as they sacrificed their lives for a positive cause, they will always be remembered by us."
"Lord Grainman!" said Grant. It's too early to talk about their sacrifices. My team members may have just been captured by the goatmen as slaves. According to the information I got from the tauren tribe in the northern continent, the goatmen in the south seem to be very enthusiastic about it recently. Go to the north to catch slaves."
"Ah, they are still alive?" Paul's eyebrows jumped, "In any case, this is good news."
"Master Graiman, if they are still alive. If I am alive, I think it is my duty to rescue them. I hope to lead the fleet to the new continent again after being fully prepared.”
Paul was silent for a while, and then said: "What do you need?"
Without waiting for Grant's answer, he immediately said: "If it is a large-scale armed fleet, I'm sorry I can't provide it, it's too far away. We can't take the risk of sending the fleet there, but if it's a gunboat used to protect our own safety, it's okay."
Glen seemed to have a big stone in his heart, "Lord Grayman, I'm very grateful that you haven't given up on them completely. I don't need a large fleet, I just need a few boxes of gold coins. Like us, the kingdom of goatmen uses precious metals as its currency. If we use gold coins to exchange for our team members, They should agree."
"I don't think anyone will refuse the shiny gold coins," Paul said, "but you have to ensure your own safety."
Glen nodded. "If we arrive there again, we will stop the ship in the open sea and send people to negotiate with them."
"Another point..." Glenn looked extremely cautious and stared at Paul, "We also discovered something, the goat people can...magic!"
There was a clanging sound, and Paul's hand touched. The dishes arrived in front of me.
"This...this is a bit incredible!"
He subconsciously glanced at Ladi Setia, who was sitting not far away from him. The witch was sitting upright, but her face was A curious look appeared on his face.
"Are you sure they can use...magic?"
"To be specific..." Grant recalled the scene at that time, "They call this ability [God's Power]. The description of the tauren race in the northern continent and their performance when attacking us are completely consistent with the legendary magic. "Character, you didn't see the scene at that time. I just watched the goat people making some strange postures from a distance, and flames were generated out of thin air and fired towards us." Next, Grant helped everyone again. It tells the ancient mythological stories heard from the Gerbert priest of the Big Stream Tribe.
"Interesting!" Paul touched his chin and thought slowly.
A demon with two arms and four legs and steel claws?
The legendary centaur? What happened to the Steel Claw?
Wait... An idea flashed in Paul's head, and an image of a human knight holding a metal lance and riding a big horse appeared inexplicably.
Well... maybe it's just a coincidence.
The emergence of magic aroused heated discussion among everyone present.
“Since they openly use magic in the port, magic should be a legally used power there.”
“If the Church of Corner Bay knew about this continent, they would be extremely happy. , there are evil wizards everywhere, there are really some to catch.”
"Being able to use magic and arrest people for no reason, the Goatmen must be an evil race."
After the discussion at the banquet subsided, Grant continued to tell everyone present about their escape from the Goatman Port. The next adventure.
“We bypassed the continent here, and there is a wide ocean on the other side of the continent, and then continued to sail westward. This journey across the ocean must be much shorter than the last time. We used We arrived at another continent in less than a month. When we went ashore to investigate, a huge surprise came to us.”
“This time, we encountered the kingdom of humans, and the kingdom of humans here is. From that moment on, we finally proved that the land under our feet is round. We started from the western end of the continent and sailed westward, but arrived at the east of the continent. End, is there any clearer evidence than this?”
“We cried with joy when we saw humans again, and a strong sense of homesickness troubled everyone in the exploration team, so we obtained After replenishing supplies, we set sail immediately and tried to return to Aldo along the southern edge of the continent. We sailed all the way south, but encountered an isthmus, which connected a smaller landmass in the south. According to the locals, ——Elves live there”
"Yes, Lord Grayman, as you just asked, we have also encountered the elven races encountered by the Eastern Expedition Team. But the sad experience at the Goat Port has made us no longer want to interact with creatures of other races. We wanted to deal with each other, so we continued south and bypassed the land as quickly as possible. We only went ashore briefly to replenish fresh water and food, but we had never interacted with the indigenous people there. In this way, we went around and returned to the continent under our feet. ’s southern edge, we sailed along the ocean line, and the scenery we experienced became more and more familiar, which meant that we were getting closer to Aldo.”
“Finally, we arrived at Cape Bay. , there is a fierce war going on there, and the coastal countries and the inland countries are fighting. Oh, do you know this?"
Paul nodded, "Of course I know this, we are in the northwest. The bay also sells a lot of things there."
"Okay." Grant continued, "Just like that, we started sailing north from Cape Bay and arrived at Fulan, which we had been away from for a long time. Hong Kong.”
