"It was just a matter of luck, when I received the invitation, I thought it was the postman who sent it by mistake, and then they contacted me and I was sure about it. Rushed to the port to board the ship, everything was panicked, desperately in a hurry, and I didn't have time to contact you on the way, I'm really sorry. But I think you've also received an invitation to be the best candidate for the school's graduation exams, unless you don't want to. The man turned, a smile on his face, "O Venitez, just standing on it can feel a different feeling. ”

"After all, it is a giant ship used for ocean exploration, and it can be explored overseas for decades, and all supplies are obtained from the ocean by itself, and it is normal to have some indescribable aura on it. I heard that I had only returned to the port of the church a few years ago, and I immediately carried out a huge overhaul and refit work. With the technology and manpower of all kinds of engineers in the country, it took so long for it to sail again, and its reliability and its own scientific and technological content can be guessed if you think about it. ”

"By the way, Galtrezzi, I think you're also interested in other continents, that's why you boarded the Venitez, right? I heard from my family that this mission seems to have been given by the Pope himself, and the three knights cooperated. Although we have only been on a mission to train ourselves, our destination is a giant country on the Houxiang Continent, and we should be able to see a lot of new things. The woman's eyes were full of interest, like a child seeing a toy that she had never seen before.

Galtrezzi glanced at the woman, and then looked at the sea in front of him: "I think it's more dangerous, that continent is far more chaotic than the Sect, we can have the opportunity to follow the past, the purpose is to help and train ourselves." There are many people like us on this ship, all with the same purpose, hoping to have the strength to deal with before the war comes. At worst, it's not an exaggeration to think of it as an assessment, but it's just a very long assessment. ”

The woman nodded, walked over to Goltrezi, and looked with him at the sea. Both are students who graduated from the same school in the mainland, and they have many of the same life nodes, so they can become friends, but there are still many differences between them.

Around them, the people pouring out of the conference room were already piled up on the huge deck of the Venitez, each talking about something of interest. Although they are all selected from the schools and institutions in the country, they are all young, and so far, many of them have visited only within the country. Sailing to other continents on a giant ship has an unusual meaning for each of them. Because in their impressions, this incident happened more than half a year ago, but it was a trip to the Far Sea Commons under an exchange system, and the meaning is not the same.

"Nonosca, does this scene sound familiar?" In a room on the island, Nonosca, who was watching intently outside, was drawn by the voice, "Hilarily, Chilman." Nonorska nodded, and then looked back on the deck, where long white sprays could be seen emerging from the tail of the Witnes, recording their long trail.

"It's very familiar, the scene more than forty years ago is exactly the same as it is now, it was also such a sunny day, after the meeting, a large group of young people poured onto the deck, looking at the sea that they had only seen in textbooks, everything was full of wonder and exclamation. We were one of them, just like these young people now, who didn't know what it meant to sail away, but just thought it was new. ”

"It's so similar, but the purpose is different, and the direction of the way forward is different. Chilman, with a bag of sunscreen and a pair of the latest sunglasses, said, "I wanted to go to a quiet place on deck to soak up the sun, but now they had to cancel their plans." ”

Spreading his hands, Chilman tossed the bag onto the table behind him and went to the cabinet to rummage through the wine. Hilarily smiled and shook her head, and came to Nonosca's side, following his gaze.

"They're not young anymore, you shouldn't be envious of them, right?"

"Of course not, but I think I need to remind them during the one-month period after arriving in the Xiangda Continent. You won't forget the time when we sailed on the Witnes, it's not been a few years. ”

"How could it be forgotten. An operation led by the Holy See, said to be in search of a new continent in the endless sea. At that time, I was still young, and I was always attracted to this kind of thing. If the memory is too deep, it will be easier to forget. It's only been a few years since they returned, and everyone is actively adjusting to life away from the Venitez, meeting acquaintances, and no one wants to talk about the more than thirty years anymore. The newly planned route, riding the reverse current of the central current belt, has indeed reached places that have not been visited before, but no new continents have been found, and there are many island communities, but they are still too far from the goal. ”

"Alas、、、" Hilarily sighed heavily, "the super-large fleet with the Witnes as the flagship, and the airships and large and small ships at the time of departure, there are more than one hundred and thirty ships in total. But in the end, it was only the Witnes that returned. All of them sank and crashed on the way due to various things, and even the Venitez only carried more than 40,000 people on it. Now that I think about it, we only met each other when we were transferred to the Venitez from other ships. It's so lucky to be able to come back alive together. ”

"I'm very lucky, and hopefully it will last forever. Otherwise, I don't know how many of the people in this boatload will make it back to the church alive. In the years since I left the Venitez, I realized that I was clearly out of touch with the environment inside the Church. Compared with the natural environment and the harsh climate, it is we who are more dangerous. Thirty years of living away from the mainland have taught me one thing, the Holy See's dominance will not be a good thing. Nonoska said self-deprecatingly.

He looked at Hilarily as if to justify: "I have investigated the previous information, and the results of events in the past have been similar to those of our expeditions. ”

Hilarily laughed, and Chilman finally found the good wine hidden at the counter and walked over to the two with his glass.

As he poured his wine, he asked the two of them, "By the way, we haven't seen each other for a few years since we got off the Venitez?" Celebrate first and be able to meet old friends aboard the Venitez. ”

After each of the three of them drank a glass of wine, Chilman continued: "I was in a hurry to get off the boat, and then because of various trivial matters, the contact was almost cut off, and the communication、、、 you know, there must be someone watching at all times. Now that I finally have time, this question has puzzled me for a long time. The head is relatively stupid, and although he has also read and written down the information collected by the exploration, he still can't get satisfactory results. ”

"You are all smart people, do you think that the continent group in ancient history really exists?"
