Chapter 1370 It’s Not India, It’s the New World! (Added for Book Friend 201705102)

"The ancient Greek epic "The Odyssey"? Odysseus's Immortal Trek?...Phew! I am really impressed by this latest popular ancient Greek epic..."

The stars are brilliant, and the stars are like ribbons. Scholar Martin Beiheim stood on the bow of the ship, and the long burgundy feathers on the noble's slanted hat were fluttering in the hunting sea breeze. He stared at the boundless forest sea. The scene of cheating on the ship three months ago seemed like a distant nightmare, and it seemed that it was no longer so clearly visible.

Three months ago, he was frightened into going to the meeting alone by a letter from the other party. Then, with a glass of spiked wine, this noble-born scholar boarded an exploration ship with a narrow escape from death. And when he woke up, in the unforgettable dim cabin, he had a knife held to his neck and wrote a letter voluntarily going to sea...

It can be said that whenever he is reminded of this experience of an aristocratic scholar encountering a bandit navy, he will be extremely angry and regretful! Just one day ago, he was living with his beautiful wife in a gorgeous and exquisite aristocratic manor, lying on a soft cotton bed three meters wide. And one day later, he was put into a narrow cabin and slept on the damp and cold deck of the ship, without even a piece of wool to wipe his butt!

However, after three months of sailing, experiencing even more narrow escapes, and finally arriving in this vast new land, his mood did change. More importantly, his life is still in the hands of this bandit navy! When it’s time to let go, you still have to let it go in a timely manner! …

"Hey! Bruno, my old friend... This sailing exploration of the Atlantic Ocean is indeed thrilling and shocking to me! I never thought that after only two or three months of sailing, I would be in this originally blank place. In the deep sea of ​​the southwest, a real, vast, and brand-new new continent is discovered..."

"Haha! Far away from the mainland, deep into the helpless ocean, it is really shocking... Huh? Wait! Martin, what did you say?!..."

Bruno was suddenly startled! He was stunned on the spot, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he repeated in disbelief.

"You just said...this?...this is?...a new...continent?!..."

"Not bad! I'm pretty sure this is a brand new continent!..."

The noble scholar Martin nodded affirmatively. His eyes were somewhat deep, staring at the boundless forest sea. Then, he took off the long burgundy feathers on his hat, which was a gift given by the Knight of Silvera to the governor's son-in-law to please him. And he just pointed at the southern jungle with his bright long feathers and said meaningfully.

"This is a tropical continent that has never been recorded before! It's not like India, let alone Siris! Many of the trees here have never been seen before. And the birds and animals here are all brand new..."

"What's more important! After observing this jungle for more than ten days, I didn't see a single large animal! No elephants, no hippos, no lions, and no tigers! And that strange proboscis beast , which has never been recorded before!…"

"Deep sea land that shouldn't be there, birds and animals that have never been seen before, vast forest sea where no human beings can be seen... I thought about it, and after eliminating all impossible possibilities, there was only one answer that was hard to imagine, but could answer everything. ! That is, this vast and wild continent is a new continent! It is a brand-new continent between the East and the European continent that has never been recorded in the history books..."

"Ah! New World!!..."

At this moment, Bruno felt as if he was hit hard by an invisible sledgehammer. He was a little unsteady on his feet and staggered, leaning on the side of the boat. His eyes were a little dazed, and he murmured in a low voice, but he already felt a little confident.

"Yes! The New World... This is probably the New World! The New World between the East and Europe! This is news that will shock the entire Kingdom of Portugal, and even the entire world of God!..."

"In this way, the distance problem of longitude can be explained! And the circumference of the earth is indeed the same as what scholars have measured. There will be no contradictions!..."

"According to the 40,000-kilometer circumference of the earth, and the 20,000-kilometer distance estimated by scholars...then the route from Europe to Seris is also 20,000 kilometers! No, no!...If it is 20-30 degrees north latitude, then Not 20,000 kilometers... maybe only 15,000 kilometers..."

"And the distance we sailed is probably less than 7,000 kilometers. We haven't sailed half of the distance before we arrived at this new continent of unknown size... Then, from this new continent to the west, we will reach the new route in the east. …There’s at least another half, at least three or four months left!…”

"Lord! If this is the case, then what is the origin of the so-called 'Ancient Japan of Sipan' discovered by Columbus, and the aboriginal kingdom he encountered? Why do they have books from the East, with the East that His Majesty determined Word?!…"

Thinking of this series of difficult questions, Bruno's heart felt like a ball of tangled yarn that could not be untangled no matter what. He doesn't have the great wisdom to cut through everything with a sharp sword and see all the mysteries clearly!

At this moment, he frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he was still not sure whether his inference was true or false? Not to mention, he rashly wrote a voyage report and reported it to His Majesty João. And to understand all this, he still needs to sail further, see more, and hear more information about the natives!

"Boss! Captain! We asked!..."

"Well, what's the question?"

"We asked for information about the prisoners!"

At this moment, Bosun Haroldo came to Bruno with a smile on his face, and brought Quartermaster Mattim with a cold face. The two looked at each other, and Mattim waved his hand, letting Haroldo, who was good at speaking, speak first.

"God bless! It's unimaginable... Columbus captured this native guide 'Azu' from the Bahamas, and he could have a barely understandable conversation with the natives captured alive in this southern rainforest! ... "

"That's right! Captain, if the results of Columbus' interrogation are not lies...that is, the Bahamian natives at 25 degrees north latitude actually have a very similar tribal language to the rainforest natives at 8 degrees north latitude! But there are probably several miles between them. Qianli, right? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to be related..."

"That's right! Boss...the newly captured native captives couldn't stand the interrogation and cried out to confess! What do they call themselves 'Lokono'? They have always lived in the woods and have never been to anything. Island! Their tribe is not far away, it is hidden in the south of the rain forest, about a few days away. Their tribe is also very small, and the surrounding tribes are very small, usually only ten to thirty palms, fifty to fifty. One or two hundred?…”

"Yes! Captain, we can be sure! There is really no powerful big tribe behind this tribe! They have never seen iron weapons, only wood and stone weapons, let alone armor. As long as we can find their village, it will be easy to defeat them ! ...However, they are also very poor and have no valuable belongings, not even clothes, let alone shiny gold... Well, women can have a good time, but they can't bring it on board, so it's not worth it. Running so far in the woods..."

"Yes! Boss, I have asked this prisoner repeatedly! He has never heard of any devil's curse, let alone the symptoms of fever, chills and death! They also don't have any devil priests, only some with plants, trees and stones. The wizard who communicates doesn't sound like he has much magic power... The natives here don't seem to have experienced the devil's curse in the southern continent. It's really strange! I don't know if they are lying to us..."

"That's it!... Captain, the prisoner said that they had never thought of attacking us. The reason why they approached quietly was just to see if we were some terrible 'Caribs'?... It is said that they were a group of The powerful rowing barbarians are running around on the western coast and the northern islands, plundering and plundering..."

Boatswain Haroldo and quartermaster Mattim took turns speaking, and they spoke to each other, vividly depicting a wild scene of a savage tribe in the forest in front of Bruno. After listening to this narration, Bruno pondered for a long time before he captured two key points.

"The 'Caribs' who rowed and plundered were very ferocious and powerful? Is this powerful barbarian tribe that the natives said was the 'Sipangu natives' who also rowed and attacked in Columbus's mouth? If it is true, what about the next voyage? , we must always be vigilant and have the eight-pounder guns and iron bullets ready..."

"Islands in the north? He means that there are islands in the northern sea that are not mainlands? So where are these islands and how big are they? What is their relationship with the Native Islands where Columbus arrived? Are they not far away? , next to each other?…”

"Let's go! Take me to the bottom of the cabin! I want to torture this native prisoner in person, and let Asu translate every sentence obediently and carefully! Once the translation is done, I will reward him with meat, and he will be used in the future!... Well, He is indeed useful! Remember this, even if there is a shortage of food again, don’t try to take advantage of this guide!…”

"Blessed Mother! I have a strong premonition that those powerful 'Sipan Ancient Natives' and the 'Kingdom of Natives' with connections to the East are right in front of us!..."
