Chapter 640：

"Didi-di-di-!"

Amidst the resonant sound of the trumpet, the guards of the Lord's Mansion who served as the guard of honor stood upright in two rows on both sides of the gate.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd in Huxin Town, the commander of the Western Expedition Team, Ge Lan, walked to the gate of the Lord's Mansion step by step.

Paul led a group of staff from the Government Affairs Council to greet Gulen and several of his deputies at the door.

When Grant approached, Paul stepped forward and hugged the explorer tightly.

"Please forgive me for telling the truth. Before I heard the news of your return, I always thought that you would never come back!"

"It's understandable, Lord Graman, if it were me, it would be hard not to have such thoughts."

Paul took Grant's hand and entered the Lord's Mansion until he reached the hall.

A sumptuous banquet has been laid out here, specially set up to welcome the adventurous heroes of the Western Expedition Team.

After everyone was seated, Paul raised his glass and shouted loudly: "I propose, let's toast the great achievements of Mr. Gulen and his companions."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, responded to Paul's proposal, and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"Everyone!" Paul blushed, showing his high spirits.

"I can affirm that the discovery of the Western Exploration Team - the direct proof that the earth under our feet is round - will be one of the most important discoveries in human history, which will greatly reshape our worldview, And profoundly affect the course of our future history."

】

"Until now, I still find it unbelievable." Hansel echoed, "The ground under my feet is round, and it's hard to imagine what kind of situation it is."

Paul looked at Grant, "Then, please invite Mr. Grant to tell us about their strange adventure."

Of course, the experience of the western exploration team will be written into a detailed report for him to read, but he can't wait for the day when the official report will be formed.

"Master Graham." Grant asked first, "The other two exploration teams... how are they doing?"

On the way to Huxin Town, Glenn already knew the news that the Northern Expedition Team and the Eastern Expedition Team had returned, but he didn't get the latest news about them. Was it disbanded? Or was it given another important task?

"Oh, by the way, I should tell you about their latest situation first! Haha."

"Stanford, and the members of the Northern Expedition Team, they have now gone to the north of Rocky Mountain again, where several trading posts have been opened, and they have started trading with the local aborigines. You don't know, the output there The quality of fur, medicinal materials, and minerals is excellent. And we will promote advanced agricultural technology there, build new farms, and attract indigenous people to work on our farms."

"As for Nigel and his eastern exploration team, they discovered a new land in the southeast of the mainland, and the natives living on it turned out to be the legendary elves. I have sent Nigel and his subordinates again Went there, and tried to make friends with the elves, there is a mineral that attracts me very much."

"Elf?" Grant's eyebrows twitched.

"Yes, elf!" Paul exaggeratedly raised his hand, "I said, since you came back from another direction, didn't you encounter it on the way?"

"Master Graman, please allow me to recount our experience from the beginning..."

Grant began to narrate his adventures.

"In the beginning, we headed all the way to the depths of the sea, which was so vast that we thought the rest of the world was sea water except this continent where our home was. But when we were discouraged and prepared to return , but came across a small archipelago covered with forests, plants, and animals."

"We obtained supplies from these islands. The Lord of Light may have blessed us wanderers. We found a magical tree on the island. The fruit of the tree is large and round, and after the fruit is roasted, Like bread, we call it the bread tree for now. Then we got some meat through hunting."

"The discovery of the island gave us new confidence. If we continue to sail, we may encounter larger land? So we continued to sail. Fortunately, we discovered an ocean current. With the help of the ocean current, we sailed Faster! Then we discovered a series of islands one after another, and the supplies obtained from these islands supported us to continue sailing."

"Finally, after four months of wandering, we finally encountered a continent, not a large island, but a real continent!"

At this time, Gren's eyes widened, and he looked around at everyone present.

"My lords, do you know what is on that continent?"

Unsurprisingly, he caught everyone's curious eyes.

"Orc!"

"Orcs?" Paul asked in surprise, "There are also orcs on the opposite continent?"

"No, not our kind of orcs here!" Grant explained: "We call those races on the other side of the Rocky Mountains Beastmen because they are savage and unreasonable, and they are furry and look like beasts. But strictly speaking, In reality there is no beast that can match them."

"However, on another continent, we found an indigenous race with a cow-like head on top of a humanoid body."

"Oh—!" There was an exclamation at the banquet, and everyone's eyes were full of shock.

"Tauren?" Paul said the title without thinking.

Grant nodded, "It can be said so, Master Graham. From the mouths of these natives, I know that there are not only them with heads like cows on that continent, but also those with other animal characteristics. other races. The social forms of these races are quite primitive, and they live scattered on the continent in the form of tribes."

"Then we also learned that there is another continent to the south of this continent, and there is only one race on it—the sheep people!"

"The civilization of the sheep people is more developed, and several real countries have been established..."

Paul interjected, "Does it have a sheep's head?"

"No!" Grant shook his head, "They look exactly like us humans, except that they have goat or sheep-like horns on their heads, and their limbs are also hands and feet, not hooves. Because they have more advanced Civilization, the natives on the northern continent call them the upper race in awe."

Paul smiled, "Interesting."

He suddenly thought of creatures like succubi.

But Glenn's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Lord Graman, unfortunately, when we visited the port of the Goatmen, they... detained some people!"
