Chapter 1452 Ahahahaha! I, Columbus, Am Back Again!

Destiny is always connected layer by layer, mysterious and unpredictable, and the future is unpredictable. From countries to individuals, from nobles to civilians, who is the cobweb and who is the fire? Who is the moth and who is struggling?

All ultimate questions of fate can only be answered by time. And now, just two kilometers away from the meeting between the two nobles Bruno and Nuno, in the underground of Lisbon Prison, in a dark cell full of cobwebs and insects, two moths who were born from civilians and struggled desperately were also bright and dark. , the intersection began again...

"Columbus, dinner is ready!"

"Dear Sir!...This is?...This can't be?..."

When he saw a plate of barbecue, a plate of soft white bread, a can of milk, and a bottle of red wine brought by the jailer...Columbus, who was in ragged clothes, with a sallow face and a dull look on his face, suddenly trembled all over, and the emotion appeared on his face again. Deep fear!

During the first half year of being imprisoned by the Portuguese, he was very tough-talking, swearing at every turn, and was beaten with various lessons. By the second half a year, his whole body had softened, and even his harshest words could no longer curse. He could only mutter "Queen, save me" and "I am the great navigator who discovered a new sea route." But now, in this third and a half year, even if a jailer stood in front of him and said nothing...he would be shaking nervously and nodding respectfully!

This kind of long imprisonment can wear away a person's spine. If there is no true spiritual belief, all the edges and corners can only be smoothed away. It is obvious that Columbus has changed from the toughest duck to a frightened mouse. But can his stubborn edges and corners really be smoothed away? …

"Lord! No! I won't eat! I am a nobleman of Castile and a great navigator trusted by the queen! You can't kill me, you can't kill me!..."

"."

The jailer opened his eyes speechlessly, watching the frightened Columbus perform for a moment, and then said with a sneer.

"Columbus, this is not your last meal before you die! This is a meal that a big businessman took care of you and specially asked us to prepare for you!..."

"If you don't want to eat it, then I will eat it! You can continue to eat the moldy bread and drink the rancid water later!..."

"Holy Mother! Wait! What did you say? Someone gave me extra food?..."

Columbus was stunned, then suddenly took a step forward and snatched the plate of barbecue into his arms. Then, without caring about eating, he grabbed the plate of white bread into his arms and held it tightly. Then, he nervously raised his head again, looked at the jailer's mocking expression, and asked.

"These...are these really given to me by noble people? If you eat these, won't you hang me tomorrow?..."

"It was given by a noble man. I won't hang you!"

"You won't hang me the day after tomorrow?..."

"Won't!"

"The day after tomorrow, you won't hang me?..."

"."

The jailer was speechless again. With disdain on his face, he glanced at this Castilian noble who was greedy for life and feared death. He really wanted to take a few sips, kick over the other person's rice bowl and wine can, and turn around and leave!

However, orders have been passed down from above to lift Columbus' quarantine. In just one week, this annoying guy will be let go. But now, since there are big businessmen taking care of things inside and outside the prison, and he has also received a large number of gifts, there is no need to do everything possible.

What's more, once this embarrassed guy is released from prison, he might change his identity and turn into the "noble of Castile", "admiral", and "the queen values ​​​​most" he has been nagging about all day. "The Great Navigator". Even if it is a lie like a joke, after hearing this guy repeat it dozens of times a day, over the past year and a half, he has begun to doubt it... "Columbus, these are all yours, you eat them slowly, no one cares." You! If you finish eating today, there will be more tomorrow, I won’t hang you..."

"Again, this is an extra meal for you by a big businessman! He also asked me to pass on a message for you... that is, the debt you owe him will end at 2,000 gold coins when we last met. There will be no more Roll on the profits! Next time we meet, he won’t ask you for debt again. You can pay it back later when you get rich from sailing..."

"Ah? Debt? 2,000 gold coins? You mean... that Jew who deserves to go to hell... Eleazar?..."

Hearing this, Columbus's eyes widened in astonishment, and he even forgot to chew the roast meat and white bread that he stuffed into his mouth. He slapped his face in disbelief. It hurt. Didn't he dream? At this moment, even with his bone-deep self-confidence, he still thought he was hallucinating when he heard such outrageous words as "Jewish creditors treating him as guests".

"What?! That Jew who breaks a copper plate in half and squeezes out every last drop of water from the sponge...can actually run a prison and treat me to such a feast?!...Are you sure it's him? Not the Queen The messenger was sent to give me extra meals?…”

".The envoy of the Queen of Castile, in the prison in Lisbon, giving you extra meals? Haha! Ah haha! It really made me laugh to death!..."

The jailer laughed so hard that he could hardly stand upright at this hellish joke that only Columbus could have dreamed up. After a while, he stopped smiling, looked at the prisoner's head with pity, made a fool's gesture, and turned around to leave.

"Hey! Don't leave! Wait! Speak clearly!..."

Columbus clung to the rusty iron fence and shouted a few more times, but there was no response. After struggling for a long time, he sat on the stinking straw bed, smelling the aroma of wine and milk, like a rusty sculpture. But his cloudy eyes kept flashing, and even emitted brilliance bit by bit.

"Holy Mother! Was it really Eleazar, that cunning and greedy guy, who gave me extra food?... It seems that the jailer has no reason to deceive me, and he doesn't bother to deceive me!..."

"Lord! He does have this ability to penetrate everything... But why would he do this? He never gives a copper coin unless this copper coin can bring him a silver coin?... Yes! He gave me these foods to make me pay back his 2,000 gold coins, 20 gold coins rolled out of 2,000 debts!..."

"Wait, wait! I was imprisoned by the King of Portugal and have not contacted the outside world for a year and a half... In this case, how can I pay him back? The bag of gold I got from Sipangu and the cotton ball I got from the natives were all taken away by the Portuguese along with the ship!... Unless..."

"My Queen! Unless... this cunning Jewish merchant knew I was about to be released! He knew something! ...No, if he was just released, he would never be so friendly, would never stop the profit, and treat me to food and drink...Unless...The Queen sent an envoy to take me out of the Portuguese prison! The Queen is waiting for me, I will be the Queen's guest of honor, I will be the Queen's fleet commander again! Yes, it must be like this! ..."

"Haha! I understand! My smart Columbus finally figured it out! ...After being imprisoned by the cruel and cold Portuguese for a year and a half...A year and a half after the news of my shouting out the new route spread throughout the port of Lisbon...The Queen finally overwhelmed the King of Portugal, rode on that man, and forced the damn Portuguese to release me! ..."

At this moment, in the dim and dirty cell, Columbus suddenly raised his head, letting down his long and messy gray-brown hair, revealing only one intact ear. His blue eyes once again emitted a fanatical and confident green light.

At this moment, the 44-year-old Columbus shouted wildly like a four-year-old child. And the crazy laughter, familiar curses, and hysterical shouts once again sounded like crows, getting louder and louder, and repeatedly echoing in the cell!

"Aha! Vaffanculo! Merda! Minchia! Diamine!..."

"Ahaha! I, Don Christopher Columbus, the glorious Castilian noble, discovered the new route to the East and am the greatest navigator!..."

"Ahahaha! I am finally leaving, I am finally free! I will leave this stinking prison and come to my beloved queen to report to her my bravery, wisdom, fearlessness, piety and loyalty!"

"Ahahaha! God is my witness! I, the great and blessed Commander Columbus, will lead the navy of the Kingdom of Castile again, lead a real naval fleet, and return to Sipangu, which is full of gold and jewels, wealth and glory! For the queen, I will conquer the barbaric Kingdom of Sipangu, bring back endless gold and wealth, and become the supreme governor of the rich Sipangu!..."

"Ahahahaha! I, Columbus, am back again!..."
