675 Chapter 704: Henry’s Diary (I)

New Demon era, year 1145, April 11:

I finally applied for the right to explore this route. Of course, I had expected this result, so I wasn’t surprised…

Tanzania terraz was a place rich in mechanical alchemists. The scientific atmosphere was thick, but it lacked the adventurous spirit of an island nation. This caused the bounty to be issued for more than three months, however, there was still no corresponding call from the n.o.bles in the country.

As a member of the Alliance of Islands, it seemed a little uncooperative not to send a n.o.ble with weight to partic.i.p.ate in this matter. At that time, I smelled an opportunity, the n.o.bles with weight didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in such an adventure, but the empire had to give face to the alliance. In this country, they seemed to have some weight, but in reality, they were unimportant people, who else could it be other than myself, who had the royal bloodline but was ostracized?

May 7th:

Although I had started preparing three months ago, there was still not enough time. After various lobbying and exhausting all of my family’s wealth, I finally arrived at the victory and triumph, two large s.h.i.+ps with advanced equipment, i gathered enough supplies.

Of course, the sacrifices were great. Everything that could be sold at home was sold. The collectibles, the shares in the tobacco company, the land in Cyril, including my most profitable shops, i left my wife and children with almost nothing. I was like a gambler who had given up everything, but I believed that I would succeed. Today’s sacrifice was the necessary setback to make her a d.u.c.h.ess, i will not forget my wife’s sacrifice to me, including her spending time with that disgusting seafood merchant for me!

Oh, my G.o.d, that squid-smelling guy. Yatia’s sacrifice is so great… …

May 10:

After hiring enough people, my two s.h.i.+ps were finally ready to set sail. I hesitated for a long time that day. I even talked to Yatia about letting her sail with me, but she said she couldn’t risk the children. She decided to stay and raise those two children for me… …

I guess I must have saved the world in my previous life. Otherwise, how could I have married such a good wife. I swear, when I return rich and powerful, I will definitely make up for her grievances a hundred times over…

…

When they saw this, the group of people had strange expressions, especially doggie. He directly pointed at the virtual screen and said, “This doggie knew that he was a loser. I didn’t expect that he would even sell his wife. He still dares to keep such a shameful thing in his diary?”

The group of people nodded repeatedly…

Lei Xue Sighed and looked at the group of people. The gossipy heart of the world could really cancel out all the terrible things. Now that they were in such a situation, they were actually interested in whether someone sold his wife or not…

Then, she ignored the group of people and continued to flip through the rest of the content… …

The rest of the content was mostly about the boring daily life at sea and how this guy missed his family. Lei Xue frowned and quickly flipped through the content. Finally, in January of the second year, she saw what she wanted to see.

January 1, year 1146 of the new demon era:

This day was originally the revival festival in Tanzantritz. Tanzantritz, which started from agriculture, valued the spring revival festival very much. In order to maintain the mentality of the crew, I decided to hold a celebration to raise the morale. May the new year have a new beginning…

The celebration was set at noon. We were prepared to celebrate the whole day to vent out the boring days at sea. Of course, first, we had to get someone to clean up the p.o.o.p and urine on the deck. That would slightly affect the atmosphere. There was nothing we could do about it, the only people on the s.h.i.+p who could have independent toilets were the captain and the captain. Everyone else could only do it on the deck.

In order to make it more lively, the celebration was set for the triumph, which had a wider deck. I took out the sausage and my wine from the s.h.i.+p. Since it was a celebration, I tried to make it better.

As a result, as soon as we arrived on the triumph, someone reported that there was a large amount of floating ice ahead… …

The news extinguished my enthusiasm for the party… …

January 2:

We circled the ice for almost a whole day, but the size of the ice was beyond my imagination. It felt endless, and we couldn’t get around it until it was dark…

At that time, I even had the illusion that we were going in the wrong direction. This was the east, not the north and South Poles, right?

How could there be such a large ice floe?

Finally, I knew that we couldn’t go on like this. Because of the Detour, we were getting farther and farther away from the predicted route. If we were to Detour, it would probably take a long time to get back to that route.

Moreover, I had already been drifting at sea for more than half a year. Considering that there was still at least half a year to go before the forecast, the supplies would be a little tight if we were to make a detour. This included not encountering any other special circ.u.mstances.

Therefore, I proposed to directly cross this ice floe!

After this proposal was proposed, it met with a large number of people’s objections. The one with the loudest objection was the captain of the victorious return. He felt that this was too risky, and crossing this large ice floe was very difficult, once the propeller was jammed by the ice breaker, it was highly likely that the main engine power system of the s.h.i.+p would be damaged. This wasn’t the worst of it. If the temperature inside continued to drop, the ice floe would become a solid ice field, and they would be trapped inside, at that time, it would truly be a disaster!

I scoffed at his words. Sailing was a risky thing to begin with. How could you achieve anything if you always wanted to be safe. If the prince whom I had supported in the past had listened to my decisiveness, he might have had a chance to fight for it instead of waiting for his death…

After several arguments, both sides were unconvinced. However, as the s.h.i.+p’s highest officer, in theory, he could directly make the decision. In the end, Sean (the captain of the victorious return) suggested that they split up into two groups, the victorious return, which had a stronger ability to break through ice, would be in charge of crossing the ice domain, while the victory, which had a stronger power, would continue to make a detour!

This would at least guarantee the safety of a s.h.i.+p!

I initially opposed this proposal, but this was clearly Sean’s last resort. Although I was his commanding officer, I was from a poor royal family, and my prestige among the sailors was obviously not comparable to Sean, who had many years of sailing experience!

In the end, I accepted his proposal, but made a slight modification.

His suggestion was that he would lead the triumph to attempt crossing the ice zone, while I would lead the victory to take a safer detour.

The seemingly loyal decision gave me a whiff of conspiracy. I thought to myself: what if this ice domain wasn’t as serious as the other party said it was?

He crossed it easily and arrived at the eastern continent before me. After obtaining the information and the opportunity, perhaps all the credit would go to him. Wouldn’t I be doing this for others?

Of course, it wouldn’t be allowed for me to take the risk and have him turn back to operate the victory to go around the ice domain. Once the ice domain was really that dangerous, the victorious return wouldn’t be able to come out, and all my efforts would belong to him.

After much consideration, I decided to go on the victorious return to the ice domain with Sean. I made my trusted adjutant, Polly, the captain of the victorious return to go around the ice domain. I told him that if he wasn’t able to come out of the ice domain… He had to take care of his wife and daughter when he got back…

So, that day, I loaded more than half of my supplies onto the triumph. From tomorrow onwards, I would enter the ice. I hoped that the G.o.d of the sea would bless me and return safely. My family was still waiting for me to return in triumph… …
