“Ten thousand miles?” Helen gasped.
“Yes,” Mr.
Xu nodded, “Ten thousand miles long.”
“What a vast territory!” Helen could not hide her amazement.
“Our king, who later came to be known as His Majesty The Emperor, decreed that my ancestors sail the seas in search of an elixir of immortality, so that he might rule the empire forever.
My ancestors, leading three thousand boys, girls and guards, endured perilous sea journeys and searched for countless years, yet have not found the elixir of immortality.
The emperor’s decree was if they did not find it then they should not return.
Consequently, my ancestors never dared to return to their homeland,” Mr.
Xu said with a hint of sadness on his face.
“Later, exhausted from many years of journeying, they led all the ship crew to settle on Chesang Continent, where they thrived till now.
But our dream to return to our homeland has never been broken, so even now every fifty years, we still send out ships and messengers in search of the elixir, in hopes of fulfilling the emperor’s wish and returning to our homeland someday.”
“Immortality?” Helen laughed bitterly and shook her head.
“Even among the Beamon, known for their longevity, no one can live forever.”
The muscles on Liu Zhenhan’s face twitched slightly.
This minimal emotional fluctuation was quickly concealed by him.
It’s impossible.
This world is not my world.
Liu Zhenhan said to himself with a bitter smile in his heart.
“A vow is a vow.
The oaths of our people are as solemn and noble as your Beamon sacrifices.
In fact, after a thousand years, even if the elixir of immortality is found, the emperor of that era probably has long since disappeared in the wind,” Mr.
Xu said with his back to the sea, a look of melancholy on his face.
The fierce sea wind blew his robe, causing it to flutter wildly.
“I indeed have not heard of any Yunqin Empire in the present Silk Continent of the Orient.
It seems the now strongest Eastern nation is called Tang Zang Empire.
It appears the eastern traders who come and go from the Aegean Continent are all from there.” Helen also became silent.
When vows and reality are like the horizon line that will never meet, the nobility of the vow becomes more evident.
At this moment, Helen was moved by the nobleness of this elder, who was journeying hard for an unknown future.
Liu Zhenhan didn’t speak all along.
He was merely watching this mysterious elder from the Orient.
His intuition told him that this old man was definitely not simple.
Liu Zhenhan saw a hint of evil deeply hidden in the elder’s wise and sage-like eyes.
The evil was something Liu Zhenhan himself possessed, and he found it very familiar.
“We are constantly learning the language of the Western Continent.
It holds a civilization beyond our imagination.
We have not given up our pursuit of the elixir.
As long as there is hope, we’ll never give up.
We are wandering among different seas, striving for this goal,” Mr.
Xu laughed freely.
“Sometimes, the pursuit itself is a pleasure.”
“I’m still confused, noble elder from the East.” Helen said, “Given the barbarism and power of the Sea Clan, how could they ever allow you to roam freely in their waters?”
“Hehe…” Mr.
Xu laughed.
“I forgot to introduce to you, when my ancestors left their homeland, His Majesty the Emperor selected the most loyal Panda Warriors from the Panta Clan in his vast kingdom to guard the ship.
The Panda Warriors, strong as bears, agile as panthers, with their spears thrown as powerfully as crossbow bolts.”
All panda sailors beside him stood at attention, their mountainous bodies straightened up.
Although there were only twenty of them, they exuded an overwhelming aura of deadly efficiency, which could match an army thousands strong.
“These Panta warriors are descendants of those panda guards.
Just now when they saw the bamboo raft of the two priests, they were very excited since they hadn’t had a taste of bamboo, their favorite food, for a long time.
We apologize for their behavior.”
“Did the Yunqin Empire actually conquer the Bimon Kingdom in the East as well?” Helen was even more surprised.
“Not only did our Yunqin Empire possess Bimon warriors, but we also had marine boundaries, and a navy composed mainly of powerful Aquatic Warriors!” The old Mr.
Xu couldn’t help showing pride: “At the time of the voyage, our escort included a navy.
Our Sea Clan escort, the mighty warriors from the Cardiel crocodile clan, made treaties with multiple Sea Clans using their bravery.
Wherever our medicine-seeking ships go, they encounter no difficulties.”
“That’s amazing!” Helen’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
The Bimon Kingdom also had a navy, but these were amphibious units, organized mainly with Frogmen and Turtlemen, with these two categories always protecting the southwestern borders of the kingdom along with the Swan Town of Smey Clan near the Sunset Swamp.
Other aquatic Bimon were either wiped out in the Sea-Land war two thousand years ago or were on the verge of extinction due to difficulties in reproduction after turning to the Sea Clan.
If one wanted an escort as formidable as the Cardiel Crocodile Warriors, it would be an extravagance.
Even the current king of Beamon, King Grecke Sar, only had four Bay Crocodile Warriors for his guard of honor.
