Extraordinary Sailing

What Venia was talking about was the reason for her travels.

And Aiwen's attention has been automatically placed on the great adventurer who leads the entire human world.

The pace of exploration has exceeded the limit of the known world map of mankind, which is the prelude to the dream of finding the end of the world by the father of this life, Furman Garriott.

"A pioneer adventurer from the Old Continent? How powerful and romantic it is to overcome all kinds of dangers and terrors in the sea, and take your wife to explore the borders of the known world!"

Venia was not surprised by the leisurely fascination on Aiwen's face, and continued with a smile:

"Hehe, that's right, that Mr. Zeros is indeed a powerful and charming adventurer.

But his wife does not seem to be an ordinary person, and she told me many secrets of the human kingdom. "

After a pause, Ivan, who was listening carefully, said a name that was almost like a thunderbolt to Ivan.

"That's a beautiful lady with the surname 'Falettis'. By the way, if I remember correctly, this surname should belong to the royal family you are loyal to, right?"

For the royal family of any country, the situation of taking the country as the surname will only appear in the contemporary king and his immediate family members, and the scope is actually not large.

"A beautiful lady named Phalitis who accompanied the great adventurer?"

Hearing Viniya's seemingly unintentional description, a shadow of a person popped up in Ivan's mind instantly, and he hurriedly asked: "May I ask, Miss Venia, what are the characteristics of that lady's appearance?"

"Oh, looks, lake green eyes, a very bright golden red long hair, and a beauty mole on the corner of her lips, she is a big beauty that even women will be fascinated by."

Hearing the appearance of the lady, Ai Wen instantly concluded the guess in his heart.

‘That’s right, that lady named Phalitis is most likely the princess who was rumored to have run away with the ‘wild man’! ! '

From the age and appearance similar to the second princess Liwena, this is the most likely guess.

As for the accidental death four years ago mentioned in the official bulletin, it is obviously just a smoke bomb released by the government, or a fig leaf?

The princess's operation six!

The time when she eloped with the adventurer should have been much earlier than the official announcement. It may be that when it was too late, the official was forced to announce her "death" four years ago.

Regardless of whether she is still alive or not, it means that she has bid farewell to the position of the crown prince of the Phalatis Kingdom.

'What impact will this news have if it is sent back to China?

Moreover, the second princess, Her Highness Liwena, is her lord. Is it necessary to inform His Highness that her sister is still alive?

What is their real relationship? Did His Highness know the inside story of the eldest princess's life before?

And it may be the adventurer who has made the fastest progress in exploring the world map at present!

How significant should it be to a country?

How much does the royal family know about the eldest princess's capable husband, Jelos?

I have a headache! '

However, the issue of the eldest princess can be temporarily put aside, even if there is any follow-up storm, the second princess needs to deal with it.

Aiwen has too many questions that he wants to ask this girl. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

The other side of the sea, the country that exists in the legend, and the borders of human exploration territory. Every noun makes the "adventurer's blood" in his body boil.

So he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Then nearly two hundred years ago, why did someone come out and make a deal with a group of adventurers about the 'Golden Compass'?

Do you know who that mysterious man came out of? What is his purpose? Are there any secrets hidden in the 'Golden Compass'? "

Hearing Aiwen's question, Venia smiled with great interest:

"Oh? Hehehe, Mr. Garriott asked about that person, what exactly do you want to do?"

Keenly noticed that the tone of "Garriott" in the girl's mouth was a bit heavy, Aiwen immediately realized that this girl might know more than he thought.

And is it possible that the person who can know the secret of the "God's Gift" in the long past is an ordinary mortal girl? Although he has already realized that Venia is not simple, but now Aiwen can't see her depth at all.

So his answer was also a lot more cautious, and after considering it, he said:

"As a descendant of a family influenced by the 'Golden Compass', I feel that I have the right and responsibility to explore the secrets behind this thing. I even want to see the mysterious person who made a deal with my ancestors."

Venia gracefully finished the last bite of creme brulee, and gently got up to greet Ivan:

"Let's go, let's go for a walk. In such a crowded place, even just talking about that name may have an irreparable impact on ordinary people here.

I do know the identity of this 'mysterious man', but whether you are qualified to meet him or not depends on your own ability. "

"Name? Him?"

Aiwen froze slightly as he stood up. In the Union language, the pronunciation of this title is different, and he easily distinguished the change of Venia's words.

He stood up solemnly and followed the girl out of the restaurant, and the two walked side by side along the bluestone trail by the river.

While walking, Venia also told Ivan the legend about "Him", or it was more like a fairy tale.

"Great gods have ruled the 'golden kingdom' for as long as time has recorded"

In Venia's narrative.

The "Golden Kingdom" is not in the old continent that the ancestor Garriott once thought; it is not in the Peacock Islands at the border of the eastern sea; it is not in the new continent that is being developed in full swing in this era.

It's not even in countries that have just begun to explore the Broken Star Sea full of countless mysterious islands, secret lands, mysteries, and extremely active mysterious forces.

It's at the end of the star sea further west of the broken star sea, where the storm route starts. It is also the last hurdle of the boundary between the humanized world and the natural world, between the known and the unknown!

It still maintains the most primitive style of human civilization tens of thousands of years ago, where humans and gods live together.

God made a covenant with man.

The great gods are the rulers and guardians of the country, and human beings are servants, who believe in gods and worship gods.

This relationship has been maintained for a long time enough for the history books of the Old Continent to be dated several times.

Among them, there are two gods who rule the "golden kingdom".

One is the sky goddess "Kurutina", she is a born spirit of the wind, the god of freedom who can never be bound.

One is the Ocean Goddess "Thetis" who shoulders a natural duty. She has guarded the ultimate secret of this world since her birth, and is also bound by this secret at the same time.

The "Golden Compass" is convenient for this Ocean Goddess.

After guarding the secret for a long time, He hoped that there would be a suitable person who could crack the secret and get the "answer" while freeing Him from this extremely heavy duty.

So in the early days of the great age of human exploration, Thetis came to the old (source) continent with the largest population, the most prosperous economy and culture, and the most representative of human orthodoxy in this world, and sent his own credentials.

When a compass has traveled far enough, the exploration progress of the world has reached the requirement. After crossing the New World and entering the Sea of ​​Broken Stars, it will guide its master to a path to the "Golden Kingdom".

In addition, according to Venia.

In fact, the real number of "Golden Compass" is thirteen. The first great navigator and adventurer to reach the "Golden Country", the husband of the eldest princess, Jeros, holds one.

The rest are scattered all over the world, held by explorers and powerful forces.

When thirteen golden compasses gather, a door can be opened.

Through the "Golden Kingdom" to enter another realm, there may be the same world that humans have never set foot in after the "World Wall" in the center of the old continent that blocks things.

As for whether there is really the world's greatest secret in it, Venia doesn't know.

Because even the god "Thetis" who guards the secret has never been there.

However, even though it has been nearly two hundred years since He sent the first compass.

But the gods have enough time and patience to wait for an answer that can only be answered by the scale of history or even civilization.

However, compared to the Goddess of the Ocean who puts the secrets she guards first, the Goddess of the Sky is more concerned about whether ordinary people living in this country will have their peaceful lives broken by outsiders.

Under the will of the goddess, Venia's trip to the mainland took place.

After Venia finished what she wanted to say, no matter how much Aiwen asked about the remaining secrets, she would never speak again.

"Mr. Aiwen, there is only so much I can tell you, maybe you can explore the rest yourself.

However, that Mr. Geros is already on the road to collect thirteen golden compasses, so your time is running out.

In front of the two goddesses, his strength may not be much, but he is an existence that you are far from being able to resist now! "

The girl stood on the viewing platform connected by a stone bridge in the middle of the river, and turned to face Aiwen:

"This is the last piece of advice for you to answer my doubts. I will soon return to my hometown, the 'Golden Country'. However, I regret not being able to visit Phalatis, the hometown of you and that lady. , that was supposed to be the last stop of my mainland trip."

Ai Wen was anxious, and blurted out: "How about going now?"

Venia smiled and said:

"Do you want me to stay?"

It's just that there is no trace of charm in the tone of the two of them, they both understand the meaning of each other's words.

Aiwen is not someone who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. What he seeks is Vinia's understanding of the world, which is clearly ahead of everyone in the Old Continent.

It is conceivable that a modern person who has a deep understanding of the world map does not need the title of doctor or professor, even if he is just a junior high school geography teacher or even a world geography enthusiast.

Back to the era of great geographical discovery in the 15th to 17th centuries on the earth, new lands, major shipping routes, world-famous large gold mines, and ocean currents, according to the map, the pace of exploration and colonization of the world will advance at the speed of light!

This kind of knowledge is simply invaluable to the continental countries that are paying a huge price to explore the world!

Venia naturally also understands that to be honest, the two of them are just "strangers" who have met twice, and she approached him at first because she felt the breath of the "golden compass", and her purpose was never pure.

Now, I have told him so many secrets of the "Golden Kingdom".

It is impossible for any ambitious person to turn a blind eye to his own value.

However, "Vinya" is obviously confident.

The faint charm between the young men and women disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
