Chapter 638:

"Come back from the other direction... what do you mean?"

Nathan and Edward noticed some strange words from Rogers.

"It's unbelievable. Is this really the case in this world?" Old Odd narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his pipe.

He smiled and said to the boy: "Haha, Roggins, come and explain to our guest."

The boy's face was full of excitement, and the previous fear of Nathan and others seemed to have completely disappeared.

"It's the Western Exploration Team! Do you know why they are called the Western Exploration Team? Because when they set off, they drove their ships to the depths of the western sea."

Oh, it turned out to be a fleet, Nathan and Edward knew it.

Wait, to the depths of the ocean to the west?

Edward's face was full of puzzlement: "Is it sailing from the northwest bay to the west?"

"Yes, yes!" Roggins replied immediately.

Edward continued to ask: "But there is only sea water in the west direction!"

As a former pirate leader in the Northwest Gulf, he knew exactly what was there. After passing through a few scattered islands, there was an endless sea.

Nathan on the side also showed a puzzled look.

Luo Jinsi said anxiously: "Yes! There is only the vast sea, but they came back from another direction! Uh...there is such a legend among the crowd, it should come from the mouth of the people on the boat."

"Another direction?" Nathan asked. "You mean, they came back from the East?"

"That's right!"

"How is this possible?" Nathan sneered, "Oh, I see, they must have circled south and then east, and then returned along the coast of the mainland after they circled the east."

"It's a big circle, but I don't know the kind of circle you imagine. Sir!"

Rawkins suddenly raised his voice, "Ahem!" He cleared his throat heavily again.

"Their return shows one thing—the land under our feet is a circle, and they circumvented this circle, so they returned to the Northwest Bay from the east."

While talking, the boy gestured with his hands, for fear that the guests might not understand.

Nathan was startled for a few seconds, and then burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He was out of breath laughing.

"You...what are you laughing at?"

Looking at Nathan who was laughing wildly, Rodgins frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.

Nathan grabbed Edward's shoulders and stabilized his wobbly body.

"Edward, listen, does this idiot know what he's talking about? He said... Hahaha... He even said that the ground under our feet is round... Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Nathan stopped laughing because he saw the seriousness on Edward's face.

"I said..." Nathan still had a smile all over his face, "You don't take what this fool said seriously, do you?"

Hearing Nathan call himself a silly boy, Roggins became even angrier, puffing up his cheeks.

"That... Nathan." Edward looked at his companion, "This kid... ah, your name is Roggins, right? What Roggins said may be true."

"What?" Nathan put away his smile, put on a puzzled expression, and shook his hand in front of Edward, "I don't remember you drinking today!"

"I'm serious." Edward said solemnly, "You know, I've been at sea all year round, and I've always had a doubt in my mind—why do ships sailing from far away always expose their masts first, and then reveal the hull below? ? If the sea is flat, it shouldn't be."

He spread his hands, "But if this is the case, the earth—together with the sea—is a circle, or a sphere, then it makes sense."

"Ridiculous!" Hearing his companion say the same, Nathan also became serious, and he seriously retorted: "Maybe the waves of the sea are blocking it!"

Edward shook his head, "But it's the same when the wind is calm and there are no waves at all!"

Nathan frowned and said: "I have heard of the so-called round earth theory, but I only need one question to prove the absurdity of the theory that the earth is round, that is - if the earth is really spherical, then when people When you are at the other end of the circle, wouldn’t you fall into the sky below? This so-called western exploration team, since they circled around, must have to pass the other end, right? So why did this fleet Didn't it fall?"

"This..." Edward's eyes froze, unable to refute. In the end, he could only say: "It must be the mighty power of the Lord of Light that is at work, right?"

"Cut!" Nathan scoffed at his explanation with the power of gods.

"I see!" He continued, "This so-called exploration team is a group of liars trying to make a big news to make themselves famous in history."

"Impossible!" Rodgins yelled, "They were sent by Master Graman to explore the world! They cannot be liars trying to gain fame!"

"Greman? Haha~www.readwn.com~ Is he the lord here?" Nathan said with a smile, "If he accepts the statement that the earth is round, he is either the leader of these liars or a Fool."

"you…"

Logins looked at him angrily, and was about to quarrel with Nathan.

"Okay!" Old Odd patted Loggins on the shoulder, stopping him from arguing with the guest.

The old man said calmly: "If the Western Expeditionary Team lied, it will definitely be exposed. After the news spreads, many explorers will try to repeat their feat. Let's see if they can succeed." , it’s impossible for everyone to defend the lie when they come back, right?”

Nathan looked at Roggins, who was still staring at him, and said with a smile, "Then let's wait and see!"

After confirming that old Odd and others were still unwilling to join the secret society, he and Edward left.

When they came to the street, almost everyone was discussing the return of the Western Expeditionary Team, and many people ran towards the pier to meet the great explorers.

"Tut tsk tsk!" Nathan looked at the excited people all over the street, shook his head, and sighed unceasingly, "Look, Edward, mortals are so ignorant that such an outrageous lie can make them believe it. ...Need to be educated, educated by a more advanced and powerful force. To be honest, a sense of mission suddenly appeared in my head, is this the reason why fate made me a spellcaster?"

"Although I agree with what you said... Edward said with an unhappy face, "But I also have doubts about the earth circle. When will your arrogance be corrected?" "

"Haha!" Nathan laughed out loud, "I didn't mean to offend, really."
