Chapter 715 Precious Bird Droppings

"Education can make people's thinking quick and easy to accept new things. In view of this, I suggest..."

Paul Graman, the newly promoted Marquis of the Kingdom of Ordo, was writing at his desk, and a thick stack of papers was already piled up on the right side of the table.

He was considering what he could say and what he couldn't say in his mind, and his hands turned what he could say into words on paper.

Sometimes he would be troubled by how to express himself, and from time to time he would cross out a sentence he had already written, or simply crumple the whole paper into a ball.

Although this was written for the king to see, Paul subconsciously regarded this behavior as a kind of book, which might be published in the future. The Marquis didn't want people to see even a sentence of elementary school grammar in his book.

Just when he was stuck on a certain paragraph for a long time and rubbed his temples to decide to end his morning work, the servant came to report.

"Captain Glenn requested to meet with you. There is good news. He brought back the previously captured members of the exploration team."

"Glenn?" Paul jumped up from his chair. "Are they in Jingyao?"

"Yes, the fleet is still resting in Fulan Port, and Mr. Glenn is riding the flagship south to find you."

"Please invite them to the reception room."

A year ago, the Western Exploration Fleet completed the first feat of circumnavigating the world in the history of civilization on this planet.

They discovered another unknown continent, inhabited by various strange races, some with bull heads, some with cat heads, which seemed to be the real orcs compared to the orcs on the old continent, but there was also a group with faces that were no different from humans, but with long horns like sheep on their heads. They called themselves the Cirdan, and their civilization level was far superior to other races on that continent.

But unfortunately, the exploration team was attacked by the Cirdan, and five members were captured.

After Gran led the fleet back to the Northwest Bay, he took a short break. With the support of Paul, he immediately replenished the ships and manpower and headed to the other side of the ocean, vowing to rescue the captured team members.

Now he is finally back.

Paul hurried to the reception room. There were not many people, Gran himself, a few deputies, and the five people captured by the Cirdan.

"Thank God, you are all right!" He knew Vito among them.

After a warm greeting and greeting, Gran, as the leader of the exploration team, introduced the experience of this voyage to Paul.

"We have reached the land again. As I told you before, there is a strait in the middle that divides them into two parts, north and south."

"The fleet followed the route of last time and went straight to the port of the Cirdan people. The officials who manage the port were very friendly to us and even apologized for what happened last time. To be honest, I thought they would go to war with us right away."

"They said that their queen had ordered us to be treated with courtesy if we appeared again, and invited us to visit the capital."

"Out of caution, we did not agree immediately until they sent Vito and others over. Our team members are in good condition, look sleek, and have not been abused. But according to them, at the beginning, some Cirdan dignitaries did regard them as slaves, and it was these people who planned the last attack. But after they were sent to Queen Cirdan, the ruler restored their freedom."

Paul nodded, stretched his brows and said, "It seems that she is a good person."

At this time, the members of the exploration team exchanged glances with each other, and Paul saw the strangeness in it.

"What's wrong? Is there something difficult to say?"

"Ahem!" Glenn cleared his throat and continued, "After some consideration, I decided to go to the capital of the Cerdan people to meet the queen. Then..."

His eyebrows were raised, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I met her. You would never have thought that the queen looked exactly like someone around you."

"Who?" Paul became interested. Since it was the queen, she must look like a certain woman.

"Ms. Ladi Gerard Setia." Glenn exclaimed.

Paul frowned, "Ladi? Oh, this is really a wonderful thing, hahaha." Then he asked, "How similar can they be?"

Glenn said solemnly, "As I said just now, they are exactly the same."

Vito next to him also added, "Face shape, eyes, hair color... As long as you can notice the details, you can't tell them apart. Oh... except for the horns on the queen's head."

Paul couldn't help laughing, "You don't have much contact with Ladi. When it comes to details, maybe you should take a closer look."

He looked at the servant guarding the door, "Please ask Ms. Setia to come."

The green-haired female consultant quickly came to the reception room and was stunned when she saw the people in the room.

"Good news, the Western Exploration Fleet is back. This is Captain Gran, you know him."

"And this is Ms. Ladi Setia"

Paul introduced each other. Except for a few people like Gran and Vito, not every guest had seen Ladi.

In unison, almost everyone immediately looked at Ladi.

"Exactly the same!"

No mistake, just look at the 6-9 book forum!

"Really, exactly the same!"

"Just now I thought I saw Her Majesty the Queen again."

Faced with such a high-intensity bombardment of eyes and exclamations one after another, the female consultant blushed for a rare time. She didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Paul a little awkwardly.

Paul asked: "Now that you have looked carefully, do you still think it's the same?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Well, this is an interesting thing." Paul explained to Ladi: "According to them, a queen on another continent - actually the Cirdan, you know, the race with horns on their heads - looks exactly like you."

"Is there such a thing?" Ladi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her identity as a wizard was exposed.

The female consultant sat down at Paul's signal, "There are many people in the world who look similar, there is nothing to be surprised about."

"But..." Vito couldn't help but say: "You and her are simply twins, no, they are copies."

Ladi smiled politely and said nothing.

Paul knew that the female consultant didn't want to attract too much attention because of her other identity, so he changed the topic, "Talk about something else?"

"Queen Cirdan expressed goodwill to us, allowing us to purchase a property in the port as an inn, and promised that if we can go to trade, she will protect our merchants according to her country's laws."

"This is a good thing." Paul expressed his approval. Transoceanic trade requires larger merchant ships, and the shipyard in the northwest bay should be strengthened.

"We left a small fleet to survey along the coast, and when they return, they will be able to bring detailed nautical charts and hydrological data."

"Also, we brought back the mineral deposit you mentioned - a mineral deposit made from guano."

Paul exclaimed: "Yes, yes, that's it! How much did you collect?"

Glenn opened his right hand, "Five ships in total."

Marquis Graman stood up and walked around the floor happily.

"Send a message to the State Council immediately and ask them to organize experiments. If this mineral deposit is really a rare natural fertilizer, it will greatly promote agriculture."
