Chapter 643

Nathan and Edward hadn't walked a few steps when Nathan, who was talking with his head tilted, was hit hard by someone and almost fell down.

He steadied himself and wanted to see which reckless guy it was.

The person who hit him was even more embarrassed than him and fell directly to the ground.

But the man immediately bounced up from the ground and started shouting to himself.

"It's round! It's really round!"

There was no pain on his face, but full of excitement, even crazy.

He danced with joy, like a drunk who had drunk all night.

"Since it is round, everything can be explained! The moon and the stars, all the doubts about them, now have answers."

"Woo woo woo! My teacher, how nice it would be if you were still alive now, how nice it would be if you could witness this moment in person."

The man laughed and cried, looking completely unreasonable.

Seeing the other party like this, Nathan and Edward consciously stayed away from him.

"Look, Edward."

Nathan looked at the madman with pity and sighed, "What a poor guy."

——

Cable is excited now.

He traveled thousands of miles by boat from Cape Bay to Northwest Bay. This trip is really worth it.

He has never been so excited since he became an astrologer... No, maybe he has been so excited before, but he has been so miserable these days that the good days before have become a distant memory.

As an astrologer in the Kingdom of Collins, he was taught by the long-established astrologer Viscount Brar. He had a bright future. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become a court favorite like his teacher in a few years, with wealth and status at his fingertips.

But a murder ended it all. Viscount Brar, who opposed the war, died inexplicably.

The reason given by the official investigation was ridiculous-Viscount Brar was suffocated to death by urine.

Feeling it absurd, Cable insisted on reinvestigating the cause of his teacher's death.

Then he fled under the reminder of a mysterious note.

Cable later found out that after he escaped, he was the murderer of his teacher. The reason for the murder was that he coveted the teacher's stargazing records for many years.

Cable was very angry about being wrongly accused in his hometown.

After escaping from Collins, he came to the Horn Bay Alliance and found a job as an accountant with his mathematical knowledge.

As for the original professional astrologer, forget it. How could the Horn Bay Alliance use a Corinthian as an astrologer?

I thought I could settle down temporarily, but as the contradictions between coastal countries and inland countries began to intensify rapidly, it became increasingly difficult for Corinthians like Cable to be in the Horn Bay Alliance.

He accepted the advice of his Aldo friend Lister and left Horn Bay before the war officially broke out.

Yes, after the war, if he was in an inland country, he would be arrested as a murderer. If he was in a coastal country, there was a high probability that he would be arrested as a spy for inland people, so he could only run to a place outside Horn Bay.

In this way, Cable boarded the passenger ship to the Northwest Bay of Aldo. After Lister's introduction, the Northwest Bay gave Cable a good impression, and there were a large number of people from the Horn Bay making a living there.

As an astrologer, Cable and his teacher, Viscount Brar, have always been supporters of the theory of the spherical earth, because many of the changes in the stars they observed can only be explained if the earth is round.

For example, some stars will rise higher as they go north, and some new stars will emerge on the northern horizon, while some stars will fall on the southern horizon.

For example, during a lunar eclipse, the shape of the earth projected on the moon is a circle.

Although there are various inferences, astrologers have always suffered from the lack of direct evidence.

And today, in this land thousands of miles away from the Horn Bay, Cable finally welcomed direct evidence of the theory of the spherical earth.

The people of Aldo actually took a boat directly around.

What other evidence can be more intuitive than this? It's great!

Cable was so excited that he didn't feel the pain and forgot to apologize after he accidentally bumped into someone and fell to the ground.

He ran towards the dock with all his strength to welcome the returning heroes! ——

"Look! They are all here to welcome us!"

The deputy waved his arms at the surging crowd and said loudly to Glenn.

"Yes, we are finally home!"

Glenn couldn't hide his excitement.

"The earth is round, we have proved it!"

"We have circled the earth!"

The team members around him kept shouting to the crowd, and each time they received a warm response.

When they drove the almost falling apart ship into the port and explained that they were the returning exploration team, people didn't seem surprised.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

After all, the other two exploration teams had returned before them, and Port Fulan had had several similar experiences.

But when they said they were the Western exploration team that was rumored to have been wiped out, and that they had returned from the East after circling the Earth, people who knew the news began to get uneasy.

Due to Alda's emphasis on education, most people here knew that there was a strange saying in the world, the theory of a spherical Earth. Although it was counterintuitive, it could indeed explain many phenomena.

In Alda's previous propaganda, the lord sent out the exploration fleet to verify whether the earth is round.

The lord attaches so much importance to it. If it can be proved to be true or false, it must be a great achievement - this is what most people think.

And traveling around the world is a great feat - this is what the other two exploration fleets have not done.

Now the locals can hold their chests high and show off to all outsiders: You bunch of bumpkins listen to me, the first person to travel around the world is Alda, and it also proved that the earth is round.

So the news spread quickly throughout the city.

People kept coming to watch. Ge Lan and others had been off the ship for a long time, but they were still stuck in the dock area and couldn't get out.

Shaking hands, hugging, waving, and even signing, repeating these actions.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The dense crowd was forced to make a path.

A team of police came to Ge Lan and others.

"Hello, Mr. Grant!"

The leader said to him with admiration, "The mayor invites you and your team members to the central square, which is very spacious. I think everyone is very curious about your experience, and you can tell the public about your adventure there."

"Thank you, I am very happy to do so!"

Grant took off his woolen shirt and greeted the sheriff in front of him.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the team members who were captured by the natives on another continent.

I hope God will bless them with safety.
