Chapter 660: Information From People From Afar
"Meet a living person so soon?"
In the cabin, Li Goudan and his group looked curiously at Henry who was wrapped in a towel on the boat, and then looked at the testers aside in doubt: "Didn't it mean that this route is expected to be deserted for thousands of nautical miles?"
The testers also looked puzzled. Although this data is more hypothetical, it is based on the historical records of the Gangwu Empire for thousands of years.
After all, ever since the east coast was discovered, there has never been anyone from overseas, whether it is a pirate or a passerby, the fishermen who have lived here for thousands of years have never met anyone from overseas.
Although Henry's clothes are a little tattered at this time, it can be vaguely seen that the clothes are of high quality, made of noble silk. If an island country with this kind of civilization is nearby, it is impossible for thousands of years to not have noticed the Eastern Continent, which is currently the largest. land?
"His complexion is not very good, has he been fed?" Li Goudan asked.
to feed
Lei Xue's face twitched, feeling like picking up a dog.
Wang Ye, the first mate in the shape of a poke ball, replied: "He is not in very good condition. He has not taken food or water for at least ten days. In this situation, we can't give him food immediately. We gave him a small bottle of mild nutrition."
"Wow, can you live for ten days without drinking water? Yes!" Goudan looked at the other party and said.
Looking at a group of people looking at him like a rare thing, Henry felt quite uncomfortable at the moment, but fortunately, the girl at the head looked so beautiful, so she shouldn't be a bad person
After he regained his senses, he began to vaguely remember the experiences of these days.
Since the last time he abandoned his crew and escaped alone, he has been drifting on the sea by himself for an unknown number of days, because he was almost so hungry and thirsty that he had hallucinations, so naturally he was not in the mood to remember the days
But he was indeed lucky. After so many days in the vast sea, he didn't encounter any big waves. Otherwise, the wooden boat would have hit the street long ago.
After an unknown number of days, he saw the Goudan moored on the sea, and he swore that he had never seen such a strange ship in his life!
The entire hull is like a steel castle. What technology is used to manufacture such a large ship? And just the steel shipbuilding thing shocked him a lot!
Since the appearance of steam-powered ships, some alchemists have fancifully tried to use steel to build the hull, but this idea has failed after many experiments.
Because there are many problems, the first is that the steel material is easy to rust. Secondly, with the passage of time, parasites such as sea oysters tend to adhere to the bottom of the ship, which affects the speed of the ship. Third, if a large number of steel materials are used on the ship, it is easy to produce a magnetic field effect, which will affect the accuracy of the magnetic compass. Finally, the extensive use of steel materials will cause the air inside the ship to be humid and cold, which is not conducive to keeping warm and the health of the crew.
The Holmeston Kingdom, the most proficient in shipbuilding in the Western Archipelago, has not solved the problem. Why is there such an exaggerated steel ship in the East China Sea?
What was even weirder was the movement of the ship. He clearly remembered that the ship was completely at anchor when he saw it for the first time that day.
This is a deep sea area, how can a ship park without a fixed anchor?
It was night again, and suddenly seeing such a big ship standing upright on the sea like this, I am afraid that anyone would find it extremely strange, but Henry's state at that time was abnormal.
Suffering from hunger and cold, when he saw this ship, he seemed to grab the last straw. At that time, he thought in his heart that he would recognize it even if it was a ghost ship, as long as he could give him a mouthful of fresh water to drink! !
But the situation depends on the time. After he drank the nutrient solution and solved the instinctive problem of the body's desire, the subsequent worries began.
But fortunately, the people on this ship seem relatively normal, and the surrounding temperature is also normal, so it shouldn't be something like a ghost ship.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a khaki-yellow creature with two huge fangs walking over with a glass bottle filled with green medicine: "The medicine is ready."
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wah wah wah wah wah wah wow what the hell is this?"
The person who came was the troll Perkins. Seeing this kind of reaction from the other party, the troll whose expression was still mild suddenly turned gloomy, glared at him unkindly and raised his middle finger: "What the hell are you!"
Henry was taken aback by this common language with a strong local taste, and there was another strange burst of panic.
Does this monster speak the Common Tongue?
After all, Goudan and the others were still communicating in Sichuan dialect just now
"Don't be afraid, this is the doctor on our ship," Lei Xue comforted in a gentle tone.
"Doctor? A doctor with wild boar teeth?" Henry, who was still out of control, retorted subconsciously.
"Do you believe that this pair of wild boar teeth will be able to pierce your ass in no time?" Perkins' tone became more and more hostile.
"Okay." Lei Xue sighed helplessly, and comforted him: "The outsider has never seen you, so don't argue with him. Isn't John looking for you to play billiards? Let's go there first, and let's explain here." "
"Hmph!" Perkins snorted dissatisfiedly, handed the medicine to Lei Xue and left angrily.
"Where are you from?" It was Li Goudan who asked the question this time.
Seeing the ugly monster leave and the beautiful girl questioning again, Henry's frightened mood gradually eased, and he began to communicate normally under the guidance of everyone.
An hour later, Henry gave a general description of his situation, explaining the purpose of coming here from his identity, but in order to improve his image, some places were omitted and some places were directly deleted.
For example, he slightly modified the fact that he was a down-and-out royal family who couldn't get along, and became a young and promising member of the royal family. He left behind his beautiful wife and children and resolutely joined this expedition.
Of course, he directly dismissed the incident of the undead ship leaving the crew behind as a shipwreck.
"So you are a royal nobleman from the Western Islands?" Li Goudan asked in surprise.
Of course, what surprised her was not the other party's royal status, but that the other party came from the Western Islands. This means that the other party has a new route that is about to be released, and this mission may be completed much earlier! !
"So, the countries of the Western Archipelago believe that the Gangwu Empire has a coup and blocked the port of Xihai, so they organize to open up new routes to search for information?" Lei Xue asked after sorting out the other party's words. Surprisingly, Lei Xue was much calmer, and was slightly suspicious of the other party's intelligence.
Henry nodded cautiously, wanting to see the attitude of the other party. At this time, he named himself a very important person in the Western Islands not only for bragging, but more importantly, to let the other party fear and treat him because of his status. Outsiders like them are not welcome, at least they will regard him as a valuable figure as a more favorable weight, and they will consider trading them back instead of chopping them up and throwing them into the sea to feed the fish.
Of course, saying this directly is to obtain information as soon as possible, because judging from the attitude of these people, they seem to be quite friendly, although the monster just now was quite scary
"Having such a great ship and looking so beautiful, you must be a nobleman with noble status?" Henry looked at Li Goudan cautiously and asked, "May I ask what happened to the Gangwu Empire? Why? To seize our ships? Is there really a coup? Or is there some other reason?"
Hearing that the other party regarded him as a nobleman with high status, Li Goudan immediately straightened his back, and then said solemnly: "Well, you guessed it right!!"
If Wang Goudan is here, he must be able to tell that someone's deception is about to start again!
