Chapter 996 The Sailing Diary of the Knowledgeable Man, the Mountain Giant in the Ancestral Island Chain!

"Lord God bless you! This is 52 degrees north latitude. Your Majesty's longitude cannot be determined. We are in the middle of the long island chain, on a very long and large island, perhaps the largest one in the island chain. I stand on the island and look at the vast ocean to the north, and the vast ocean to the south. I feel that the ocean in the north is lighter in color, is it because it is colder?

The vast ocean is wide from north to south, and long islands stretch from east to west. Shiny icebergs stand on the north side of the Big Island jut, while the south side is a concave, sheltered bay. At this moment, Mickey the Knower was standing on the hill by the bay, wearing a fur seal hat and a thick walrus fur. From a distance, he looks like a big gray "groundhog" standing on a hill.

The wind by the sea is very strong and cold, so cold that it brings smoothies. The knowledgeable Mickey was a little trembling, "ha ha ha" wrapped around his cotton palm. A circle of faint white mist drifted out from his mouth, like a ghost of cloud and mist in mythology. He rubbed his palms vigorously, jumped around for a while, then continued to pick up the charcoal pencil, and continued to write and draw on the parchment paper.

If you look carefully, a long island, a large bay, and an iceberg mountain range in the northeast have been drawn on this roll of parchment. Besides that, there is a small human mark on the island, and a long ship mark in the bay. The marks of the people and the marks of the ship are so close together that they are even connected together. But in the last iceberg, there is a mysterious leaf mark, and I don't know what it represents.

"Lord God! It's very cold here, really cold! It's the beginning of October, there have been several terrible snowstorms on the big island, and there have been strong winds that can blow people away! We even had a long boat blown away by the storm... God bless you! That long boat finally hit a rock and hit a reef. At least it survived, but it hasn't been repaired yet..."

"The island is full of strips of white snow, strips of gray barren soil, and strips of dark brown rocks... But there is also green on the island, although there are few, but you can really see green. The green is not big trees, and there may not be big trees on the island. It is low shrubs by the river, unknown short grass around the bay, and moss on the stone hills..."

The knowledgeable Mickey paused, and drew a circle around the bay, representing the range of grass, maybe potatoes can be grown? He was a little uncertain... Then, he stared at the marks of the ships in the bay, blinked, and then turned around to look at the natural bay twenty miles wide.

In this natural bay, the longships of the Three Kingdoms are moored at the moment, and they can vaguely see the dotted groups of "groundhogs" on board, and they don't know what they are busy on board. Think it's fishing and shrimping, or disposing of fur seal and walrus carcasses, or reinforcing a damaged ship's hull after a storm? …

Mickey the Great Knower doesn't know the answer, since these are managed by Captain Zuwaro. His task was to record geohydrology, draw topographical sketches, and write a voyage diary. As a result, he moved his eyes slightly to the west, and saw a small area of ​​low round-top sheds, and another group of "groundhogs" busy beside the sheds. This time, he clearly knew what these people were doing.

"The tall Unangax (Aleut Aleut) are relocating their short Barabara. There is still one month, maybe later, or a few days earlier? Anyway, it must be November, the terrible snow season and freezing period will come!... At that time, the terrible cold wave will come, and the blizzard will last all night! The dense darkness shrouded!...The days will become extremely short, and even the sun will not be seen. The nights will become very long, and sometimes there will be colorful flying cloud elves, drawing mysterious omen runes in the night sky...It is a terrible, cold, hungry and gorgeous winter, which is five months long!..."

The knowledgeable Mickey looked at the sky, at the dim sun, and was stunned for a while. He thought of the long winter he spent in the extreme north last year, and shivered violently, as if he felt the bone-chilling, frozen feet, severed fingers, and ear-losing cold again, as well as the smell of storms, ice and snow, hunger, and death.

"The lord god blesses! The lord god blesses us! He blesses us and survives the longest winter! He gives us light and warmth, and also gives us the strength to continue going west!..."

The knowledgeable Mickey held the pure gold sun amulet around his neck and prayed devoutly for a moment. In this remote, cold and mysterious extreme north, only the devout belief in the Lord God in his heart can bring him firm courage and determination to continue marching towards the prophesied end!

After praying for a while, the knowledgeable Mickey calmed down and continued with the unfinished content.

"Well... where did I write? Oh! The Unanga people are going to migrate to the holy spring under the snowy mountains in the north before the freezing, which is the position marked by the leaves! It is the only place on Long Island where you can see big trees. It is said that it is blessed by the goddess of spring. There is the only spring that will not freeze in winter. It is also the warm winter camp for the Unanga people.

"Blessed by the Lord God! I have never been to that holy spring, and I have never seen the big tree on the island. But according to the description of the Unanga people, it should be a hot spring that both the Alliance and the Kingdom have? So, on this desolate and cold island in the extreme north, there is also the divinity of the Lord God buried in the earth, and the volcanic hot spring bestowed by the Lord God?... Really! It really makes me curious! Since we traveled westward along the island chain, this is already the fifth big island that has hot springs. Almost every big island has tall icebergs and Hot springs that don't freeze!…”

"Could it be that the divinity of flames is hidden inside those icebergs? Or, is this the place where the Lord God inspired us to continue our westward route?...Ah! Praise you, the Supreme Lord God! We will follow your divine revelation and follow this divinely inspired hot spring island chain to reach the new western continent!!..."

After writing this, the knowledgeable Mickey held the cold amulet again and prayed devoutly. He knew that potatoes could definitely be grown around those hot springs. Next, he carefully added an emblem of the main god next to the mark of the Leaf Hot Spring, and then picked up the pen again.

"The Lord God is a witness! Our big ship brought flint for heating and plenty of food. The Unanga people welcomed us very well and were very friendly. They strongly invited us to join their winter camp and live in their 'Balabala'..."

"Oh, 'Unanga' is what they call themselves. According to the words of Unanga's guide, they are 'really tall people'! They are really tall, generally a head taller than me...I sometimes wonder why they are all descendants of the Glue Man, but they can migrate to such a remote place, grow so tall, and be so frost-resistant?...Could it be that they also encountered the gift of the Lord God during the migration, and thus gained the divinity of resisting the cold and becoming taller..."

"By the way! 'Balabala' is a small domed shed where they can migrate. It is very short, very short, and even the tall Unanga can't stand up in the shed. This kind of shed is a skeleton made of small trees and shrubs. It is said that some skeletons have been passed down for dozens of generations. It is the most precious inheritance of the tribe... Well, it is because there are no big trees on the island, and there are few small trees...As for the outside of the shed skeleton, it is filled with layers of seabird feathers, various fish scales, and thick Seal skins, walrus skins... and finally thick mud..."

"Well, I feel that their craftsmanship in building sheds is not bad, but the huts they make are worse than those of the people of Slaus. After all, there is still a lack of wood and fuel on the island. I see them busy every day, collecting withered grass and shrubs for the winter. But how can those things compare to the flint we brought?...So, every time winter comes, it is a test of life and death for them, and they will take away fresh life!"

"Under this cruel winter test, there are only more than 200 Unanga people on such a vast island. And this is already the largest Unanga tribe that we have seen all the way!... Every day of their lives seems to be preparing for the harsh winter. They store food and fuel every day, and they are busy all day long. When the terrible winter comes, they can only hide in the shed, hug each other from morning to night, pray for the protection of their ancestors, and reduce all activities as much as possible to survive the long time. Lightless winter night! . . . "

"This dark and cold thing has lasted for thousands of years, and it has never changed until our arrival! Until we were guided by the Lord God, sailed thousands of miles, and brought them the Lord God's light! Praise the Lord God of light!..."

This long record ends with a long section of praise to the Lord God. Then, the knowledgeable Mickey stopped writing and prayed devoutly again. His flushed face was full of pride in preaching!

Along the way, the fleet came along the island chain and encountered many small tribes of Unanga with tens of hundreds of people. And as long as the fleet donates flint and food to these small tribes... these small tribes will not hesitate to wear the amulet of the main god, follow them to recite the name of the main god, and "pray" with "excited" faces. The speed of conversion and the agility of these small tribes in the extreme north completely exceeded the imagination of the knowledgeable Mickey. Even in the entire fleet, many strong and tall Unanga (Aleutian) sailors were recruited, most of whom were exchanged for food and fuel from local tribes! In fact, without these Unanga people who are adapted to the extremely cold climate, the fleet would not be able to reach here at all!

"Blessed by the Lord God! We sailed all the way west along the thousands of miles of island chain... Finally, at the beginning of October, we arrived at the largest island we have ever seen! I discussed with Zuvaro and planned to build a real supply port here, but I haven't decided on the name of the port..."

"By the way! According to the local Elder Unanga's chanting, His Majesty's god-inspired "Island Chain to the West" is called the "Island Chain of Ancestors" by them. And every island on the island chain is said to be a dead ancestor giant who sank into the sea... and this largest island is located in the middle of the entire "Island Chain of Ancestors". ka), 'true giants of the mountains'!"

Note: There will be "Balabara" shed and "Atka" island locations in the easter egg chapter.
