Chapter 896 Arrival! Seattle Grand Bay

The autumn night in October is cold, and the wind in the north is also humid. The rainy season is approaching, and the geese have already migrated. The sky is vast, the cape is billowing, the night falls earlier, and the Milky Way is clearer.

It was late at night, and the two captains of the fleet sat cross-legged in front of the firepit, silently watching the swaying bonfire, as if they wanted to see some sign of fate.

The old hunter Jing Hai smiled, drank a cup of herbal tea, and went to the smoked meat farm in the fishing village. Before resting, he had to carefully check the handling and preservation of the whale meat, and arrange for hunters on duty overnight. After all, this is the entire tribal village, enough food for one or two months!

"Mickey, what do you think?"

The exploration captain Zuwaro took a sip of tea, watched the old hunter walk away, and then asked softly.

"Is what he said true?"

"The Lord God bears witness! Zuvaro, there is no need for him to lie to us. And as a whaling hunter who goes to sea all the year round, these distant experiences should be his personal experience, not hearsay..."

The knowledgeable Mickey touched his chin, thought for a while, and then made a judgment.

"So, the big bay predicted by His Majesty may not be a suitable settlement for the current fleet!..."

"Yeah. We thought the same thing."

The exploration captain Zuwaro nodded, without any waves on his face. His eyes flickered for a while, and then he spoke in a low voice.

"Mickey, don't you think this whaling tribe is very suitable to be a sailor in the fleet?"

"Uh... huh? Zuwaro, what do you want?"

Hearing this, the knowledgeable Mickey was startled. He stared at his friend's face and said in a deep voice.

"The Lord God bears witness! The further north you go, the more dangerous the waves will be. The sailors in the fleet must volunteer to board the ship to be reliable!..."

"Haha! We think the same thing..."

Expedition Captain Zuwaro smiled awkwardly, then his expression became solemn.

"The Lord God bless! Mickey, I am going to set up another port of the kingdom here and build a new settlement!"

"Huh? Here?"

Hearing this, the knowledgeable Mickey was startled for a while, calculated in his mind for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"That's right! It's about 800 miles away from Beigang... It's time to build another supply port! However, this is the territory of the Whale Department. We have to seek the consent of the tribe first... It is best to reach a blood relationship with them. Sworn covenant!..."

"Well. We have the same idea... I am going to leave a boat here with fifty people. Let my clan brother, the priest Zuyu, come and sit here!"

"Level 1 missionary priest Zuyu? Okay, he is indeed more reliable. Then let him!"

When the entire expedition fleet went north, the source of the priests on board was very complicated. Some were from the old nobles of the kingdom, some were from the commoners of the kingdom, some were from orphans adopted by Shenqi, and some were squeezed in by relatives. From the perspective of the priests of the entire kingdom, participating in the exploration fleet is a path of promotion with great risks and great opportunities, but it is open to everyone! Aristocratic priests with good backgrounds might not appreciate this path, but for others, it can be said to be invaluable...

At this moment, only Xiulot and the people who participated in the exploration know: how many savage tribes waiting to convert, how many undeveloped lands and minerals, and how many unknown possibilities and opportunities exist on this vast north and south continent! …

The bonfire flickers, reflecting people's hearts. The knowledgeable Mickey pondered for a moment, and suddenly noticed what Zuvaro said just now.

"Zuowaluo, you just said, leave a boat? ... That means, we still have to go to sea from this cape? ... Where are we going? The big island in the northwest, or the big bay in the east?"

"Witness of the Lord God! Go to the Great Bay!"

The exploration captain Zuvaro looked serious and made a decision.

"No matter what, we have to take a look! Take a look at the place His Majesty predicted! ...Even if, after reading it, we will leave..."

"Good! May the Lord God bless you!"

The two longships stayed three days in the cetacean of the Maka. During these three days, some mutual trust was initially established between the knowledgeable Mickey and the old hunter Whale. Mickey looked frank, and gestured while talking, telling the old hunter the purpose of the fleet.

".The Lord God guides us and bestows divinely inspired prophecies!...We will continue to go to the northwest, to the cold extreme north, to find the prophesied brand-new continents, as well as new plants, animals and tribes...to completely change The whole world!..."

"The Far North...the Far Northwest...storms, tides and ice..."

The old hunter Jinghai stared at Mickey's expression, pondered for a while, and then sighed softly.

"Brave longship shaman! Your prophet's prophecy...is really not an easy road to walk! May the ancestors bless you!...As for your other requests..."

Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on the face of the old hunter whale.

"Our tribe's land is very large, and we share it together. It is enough to accommodate fifty strong men! Your longship is also very large, and can be used as the first boat to go whaling with us! And this sea and land, It is also very big, it can accommodate us and you, it can accommodate two tribes that form an alliance and help each other, and it can also become one in the future..."

"So, I can make an oath with you! Just in front of the tribe's totem pole, I swear to my ancestors with blood! However, the totem god you mentioned wants to be enshrined by the tribe... we must see it clearly!..."

"Okay! The great Lord God spreads the light! He will bring crops that can grow here, as well as tough weapons and tools, as well as cotton cloth and flint to keep the whole tribe warm..."

The knowledgeable Mickey nodded solemnly and made a promise.

"The Lord God will bring you changes, all good changes! And after witnessing all this, the change of your beliefs will also be sincere!"

"Well... I will watch carefully and wait patiently..."

Two days later, the sacred alliance ceremony was held in the village of the Whale Department. The wise Mickey represented the kingdom, and the old hunter Whale Sea represented the Whale Department. The two swore on blood, drank all the blood wine, ate raw whale meat, and became brothers. Subsequently, the exploration fleet set up the Kingdom's new settlement, Whale Harbor, next to the village of the Whale Department. The other longship in the fleet was left behind, and the crew built shed cellars, stored whale meat, and participated in the whaling of the Maca...

So far, there is only one solitary flagship left in the huge exploration fleet. It carried fifty people along the high coast to the southeast of the Great Bay.

The continuous snow-capped mountains once again appeared in the south of the long boat. And the rivers flowing down from the mountains also flow into the coast in turn. The long boat headed eastward and southward, and traveled nearly 400 miles in the calm strait, and once again saw the mouth of the bay more than ten miles wide. And driving south from this wide entrance, a boundless bay suddenly appeared in front of everyone!

"Lord God! This is really... this is really!... Your Majesty's prophecy has come true again!"

Although everyone had already prepared in their hearts, when they saw this prophesied big bay with their own eyes, the indescribable shock still rose in their hearts!

This vast Seattle bay is even bigger and longer than Jinshan Bay! It is four to five hundred miles long, with no end in sight from north to south, and many tributaries from east to west, like an endless winding blue snake. And countless large and small lakes, with shimmering waves, are like the dazzling scales on a giant snake, and like the tears of the goddess of life, bringing life to the earth!

"The orange sky, the shimmering lake. The clear bay, the dense pine forest. The green forest, the white distant mountains. And... the tribal camps and cooking smoke that can be seen in the distance!"

Exploration Captain Zuvaro narrowed his eyes and became vigilant. It was time for dinner, and there were several billows of cooking smoke rising from the three sides of the long boat. And this kind of tribal density was rarely seen when they traveled all the way.

"Go! Towards the nearest cooking smoke, take a closer look! Be vigilant!..."

Soon, the long boat approached a village of a local tribe. The knowledgeable Mickey moved his eyes, stopped for a while at the wooden longhouse in the middle of the village, and then looked at several pumpkin fields that had just been harvested. After pondering for a while, he came to a conclusion.

"Zuwaro, this tribe should have at least a thousand people! ... There seem to be many tribes in this area, just like what we saw when we were in Jinwan!"

"That's it... a tribe with a thousand people at random, as many as Jinwanshi! But..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro looked at the village with flickering figures, looked at the densely packed shacks, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Lord God! When we were in Jinwan, we had ten long ships and more than five hundred warriors and sailors, capable of defeating any tribe head-on! Now, we only have one ship and fifty men... with such strength, But it's very different from before..."
