Chapter 641：

"Are some people detained?"

Paul had a bad feeling in his heart.

Glenn was full of apologies, and his voice was lowered a lot, "We visited the Goatmen port on the southern continent and carried out supplies there. At the beginning, the port officials there were very friendly and provided us with a lot of convenience."

"However, just as we were resupplying and leaving the port, the other party suddenly attacked us with a galley. We chose to fight back with artillery and got rid of their galley, but unfortunately, a The tugboat that could not be recovered in the future was seized by the goats. A total of 8 team members became their prisoners."

Grant stopped narrating, and there was no sound in the hall. No one expected such depressing news to come out of the banquet that was supposed to welcome the return of the adventurous hero.

It was Paul who broke the silence, and his face remained calm, "Great undertakings are always accompanied by sacrifices, which are unavoidable, and the same is true for the northern exploration team led by Stanford, who were killed and injured by the epidemic in the extreme north half. As long as they died for a positive cause, they will always be remembered by us."

"Lord Graman!" Grant said, "I think it's too early to talk about their sacrifices. My team members may have just been captured by the goats as slaves. According to what I got from the tauren tribe in the northern continent Information, the Goatman kingdoms in the south seem to be very keen to capture slaves in the north recently."

"Ah, they're still alive?" Paul twitched his eyebrows, "It's good news after all."

"Master Graham, if they are still alive, I think it is my duty to rescue them. I hope to lead the fleet to that new continent again after I am fully prepared."

Paul was silent for a while, and then said after a long time, "What do you need?"

Without waiting for Gulen's answer, he immediately said, "If it's a large-scale armed fleet, I'm sorry I can't provide it. It's too far away, and we can't take the risk of sending the fleet there. But if it's a gunboat for self-defense, That's still fine."

Grant seemed to have put down a big stone in his heart, "Lord Graman, I am very grateful that you have not completely given up on them. I don't need a large fleet, I just need a few boxes of gold coins. The kingdom of the goatmen is the same as ours. Using precious metals as the currency of circulation, if we exchange gold coins for our team members, they should agree."

"I don't think anyone would refuse a shiny gold coin," Paul said, "but you have to keep yourselves safe."

Grant nodded, "If we get there again, we will stop the ship in the open sea and send people to negotiate with them."

"Another point..." Glenn looked at Paul with an extremely serious face, "We also discovered that the goats can...magic!"

There was a clang, and Paul's hand touched the dishes in front of him.

"This... this is a bit too incredible!"

He subconsciously glanced at Radi Setia who was sitting not far from him. The witch was sitting upright, but with a curious look on her face.

"Are you sure they use...magic?"

"Specifically..." Glenn recalled the scene at that time, "They called this ability [God's Power]. The description of the tauren race in the northern continent and their performance when they attacked us fully conformed to the legendary magic characteristics. , You didn’t see the scene at that time, I just watched those goats make some strange postures from a distance, and flames were formed out of thin air and launched towards us.”

Next, Glenn told everyone the ancient myths and stories he heard from the priest Gebert of the Daxiliu Tribe.

"Interesting!" Paul stroked his chin, thinking slowly.

Two arms, four legs, a demon with steel claws?

The legendary centaur? What happened to the steel claws?

Wait... A flash of inspiration flashed in Paul's head, and the image of a human knight holding a metal lance and riding a big horse appeared inexplicably.

Uh... maybe it's just a coincidence.

The emergence of magic has aroused heated discussions among all present.

"Since they openly use magic at the port, so magic should be legally used there."

"If the Jiaowan Church finds out about this continent, it must be very happy. There are evil wizards everywhere, and someone will be caught."

"Being able to use magic and arrest people for no reason, the goatman must be an evil race."

After the discussions at the banquet subsided, Glenn continued to tell everyone present about their adventures after escaping from the Goatman port.

"We rounded this continent, and on the other side there is a wide ocean, and then continued westward. This journey across the ocean must have been much shorter than the last time. It took us less than a month. We arrived at another continent, went ashore to investigate, and a huge surprise came to us."

"This time, we encountered the human kingdom, and the human kingdom here is the far eastern countries on the continent under our feet. From that moment on, we finally proved that the land under our feet is round, and we Starting from the western end of the continent, sailing westward, but arriving at the eastern end of the continent, is there any clearer evidence than this?"

"Seeing humans again, we wept with joy, UU reading strong homesickness troubled everyone in the expedition team, so we set sail immediately after getting supplies, trying to follow the southern edge of the continent Back in Aldo, we sailed south, but we came across an isthmus, which connected a smaller land in the south, and according to the locals—the elves live there.”

"Yes, Lord Graeman, as you just asked, we have also encountered the elf race encountered by the Eastern Exploration Team. But the sad experience in the goatman port made us no longer want to communicate with creatures of other races." So we went south and bypassed that piece of land as soon as possible, and only briefly went ashore to replenish fresh water and food, but we never dealt with the natives there, so we went around and returned to the land under our feet again. On the southern edge of the continent, we have been sailing along the ocean line, and the landscape we have experienced is becoming more and more familiar, which means that we are getting closer and closer to Aldo."

"Finally, we arrived at Horn Bay, where a fierce war is taking place, and the coastal countries and the inland countries are fighting each other. Oh, do you know this?"

Paul nodded, "Of course I know this. We also sell a lot of things in the Northwest Gulf."

"Okay." Grant continued, "That's it, we started sailing northward from Jiaowan, and arrived at the long-lost port of Fulan yesterday."
