MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 57 : The man who conquered the sea (9) Years in a foreign land
(8) Suffering
I'm Popeye Martin, 20 years old, sailing south with my idol, the hero Lure, in February. In March, we met a terrifying five-headed sea dragon. The five-headed sea dragon chased us playfully for 4 months before leaving. At that time, there was only one ship left in our fleet.
Next, after the hero Lure calmed the unstable sailors, we began to sail southward under the leadership of the hero Lure.
Although the hero Lure and the people on the ship agreed to give him a month, but in such an endless place, the sailors on the ship are a little unstable.
Half a month after the sea dragon left, bad news came that the keel of the ship we were in began to shatter. Although it was repaired, no one could be sure how long the keel would last.
In this case, the hero Luer is worthy of being a weather-beaten great wise man. When the other Ziluo class on the ship was a little panicked, the hero Luer remained motionless, and commanded the sailors very calmly, and continued to the south. sail.
I don't know if it was the calmness of the hero Lure, but after seeing that the hero Lure did not panic, the sailors on the ship were restless because of the damage to the ship, and they calmed down for a while.
(9) Carnival
Half a month later, when the promised date was still a few days away, the land was discovered.
At that time, I was sleeping when I heard a loud noise on the deck. I, who have been very sensitive these days, jumped up from the boat immediately after the noise.
When they first heard the noise, the sailors were a little flustered, because some people thought that the boat could not hold up at all.
But no matter how strong the ship can be, in short, we have to get out of here and reach the deck first, otherwise this will be the first place to be submerged when the ship sinks.
After we went up, we found out that the noise was caused by the sailor on duty at the watchtower. After hearing the content of the sailor's loud shouting, we not only did not blame him, but we shouted happily together with him.
In the far south, new land has appeared, and we are saved!
At that moment, all of us were roaring wildly, thankful that we had survived this catastrophe, and every sailor was high-fiving each other, even me, even the few sailors who were particularly unpleasant to watch before. , With the discovery of the New World, I see their eyes are also somewhat pleasing to the eye.
At that moment, all our sailors seemed to forget the previous unpleasantness.
Seeing the sailors so happy, the hero Lull took out half of the rest of the food, let us eat as much as we want, and celebrate the rest of our lives this time.
After drinking and eating enough, although the body is exhausted after being overexcited, people are rolled up endlessly drowsy, but like all other sailors, I braced my body and watched the ships approaching the southern sea little by little. New World.
After the ship approached the New World, at this moment, except for the sailors who were on duty, all the people were lying on the deck and fell asleep.
(10) A strange country
When I woke up, I found that I had been tied up. At first I thought it was the Violet class on the ship, who had killed the hero Lure and was about to attack me, but then I found out that the hero Lure And that Ziluo class, they were also tied up.
And what tied us was a group of people dressed in strange clothes. It seemed that they were residents of this land. Judging from the attire of these residents, they were different from other places. Like Merami, they had a state.
It was not until later, when I could speak the language here, that I understood the situation of that day.
Our ship sailed directly to Fasaka, one of the six city-states in this country called Manada. As the most powerful six city-states in this country, there are 2 extraordinary legends in Fasaka, so we have no way to resist, and all of us were captured directly.
Luckily, the great saga of Fasaka, to see us on board, the insanely large boat - they had only fishing boats there, and instead of treating us as savages, they chose to take us back to their capital, and dedicate it to them Queen's Judgment.
(13) Queen Manada
In the previous chapters, I mainly talked about the scenery I saw along the way and the state of Sos, the capital of Manada, after I was bound and the entire fleet was pressed to the capital of Manada.
What impresses me most is that the nobles of Manada like to have piercings on their bodies. It seems that the higher their status, the more piercings they have on their bodies. It is difficult to understand their thoughts.
When I saw the queen, to be honest, I was very disappointed. The queen is in her fifties, older than Luer, and has many holes in her body. Although she looks beautiful when she is young, the years have already destroyed it. her looks.
Queen Manada was very interested in us foreign guests, and wanted to keep us as private slaves of the royal family, but Lure and another Ziluo class were too high-level, and the queen was worried and ordered to kill them.
Facing the queen to kill herself, the other Violet class was so frightened that she cried and begged for mercy in Bourbon, while the hero Luer held his head up and said nothing, maintaining the last dignity of the Bourbon nobles.
The behavior of the hero Lure attracted the attention of the granddaughter of Queen Manada. The queen's granddaughter begged her grandmother for mercy. In the end, the hero Lure was forgiven, but as a price, he was bound to a magic circle that bound his strength. .
(19) Hope to leave
The previous article recorded that our visitors from Bourbon, we lived in Manada for 7 years, we learned the Manada language, and we went to watch the war that the Manada people conquered the Zira people.
During these seven years, some sailors have accepted their fate, accepted the marriage arranged by the royal family, and married other high-ranking slaves or Zira people. There is a sailor with a good mentality, Damado, who is already here. Have a child.
But the hero Lull, me, and some other sailors never gave up the idea of going home.
In the year 702 of the calendar year, the old queen of Manada abdicated, and her daughter was elected as the new queen by the parliament, and the new queen has a very good relationship with us. As I mentioned earlier, Damado, a wife is the new queen. The Queen's personal slave, so our minds are somewhat active.
Led by the hero Lure, we tried to propose the idea of returning home to the new queen.
The new queen was originally reluctant, but thanks to the eloquence of the hero Lull, and the factor that Damado helped me to intercede even though he did not want to go back, the new queen finally reached a verbal agreement with us.
We can't turn to Manada's strength, we can only rely on ourselves to build new ships and recruit sailors ourselves. Sailors can only be Bourbons or Manada nobles, and if Manada nobles leave with us, it means that he will automatically give up his inheritance.
And, after our ships set sail, they can no longer return to the Manada mainland, and can no longer receive supplies from Manada.
If all these can be done, the queen will agree to our departure, and will give us enough food when we leave.
After the hero Lull stated this condition, all of us looked at each other in dismay. You must know that we are sailors, not shipbuilders. Although we have some understanding of the structure of ships, we are still far from building our own ships.
The promise is to give us time to slowly build ships to accumulate experience. That's not impossible. The Queen said very clearly that once the ship goes to sea, it can't come back. In other words, we only have one experience.
In the face of such conditions, many sailors thought that the queen was deliberately making things difficult for us, thinking that staying here could eat and drink well, but returning to the voyage was a near-death experience, so many sailors began to retreat.
However, there are still some sailors, including me and the hero Lure, who insist on going home. Why the hero Lure insists on going home, I don't know, but my child was born for 7 years, and I have Haven't seen it yet.
I'm only 27 years old now, I still have a lot of time to try, how can I give up now? It's the hero Lure. He's 53 now. I'm really worried that he will die because of his age when he returns home.
(22) A vessel that symbolizes hope
To tell the truth, there is actually a Manada noble who is willing to abandon everything and go sailing with the hero Lul, which greatly surprised us. The hero Lure also likes this nobleman very much.
As for the shipbuilding process, to be honest, it was not smooth. First of all, it took 2 years to race the keel. In the past two years, we did not use the keel and built some model boats to practice our hands. After the keel was dried, we, a group of little whites, started to build the boat with the keel, and then it took another 2 years. shipbuilding time.
However, Lure was very dissatisfied with the boat that was built, but in the end he had no choice. All the keels were used up, so he could only pick the one he was most satisfied with and go for a ride.
If we continue to race the keel, it will take another two years, the shipbuilding will take another two years, and it will be another reincarnation, and it will be another four years. And Luer, who is getting older, can't wait for another 4 years.
There is no way, we can only make do with a ship whose safety factor is questionable. And that strange Manada nobleman really took his two slaves and embarked on the road back to Bourbon with us.
(27) Flexibility
Although the queen kept her promise with us and gave us a lot of food before we left, from the beginning of the voyage, we knew that we could not keep the promise with the queen.
Maybe it's because we were unlucky when we came, and we didn't encounter any sea monsters near the sea, but after we went out, we kept bumping into all kinds of sea monsters, forcing us to have no way to be like when we came. Crossing the ocean, you can only sail eastward around the coast of Manada, hoping to try your luck, and when you can find time to avoid large-scale monsters.
As for not setting foot on the land of Manada? After sailing east for a month, the city-state of Manada was no longer to be seen, and occasionally only a group of poor tribal barbarians remained.
So, even if we go ashore and make some repairs - which is necessary because the ship is badly built - Queen Manada has no way of knowing.
