Chapter 447. Return of the Expedition Team (3)
“Your kindness is impressive. But…
it’s going to be difficult if we don’t go northeast like this. That’s because the destination is that way.”
“…If it is in the right direction, it will be correct. For now, we are returning there.”
“Right! A human from that continent!
This is a waste of money!”
For some reason, he feels glad that the path is the same rather than the structure.
It can’t be that he’s a very rare man.
Sailors seem to be at a loss as to what to do now.
“hmm? Come to think of it, your outfit… are you from the east?”
Looking at the clothes the man was wearing, at least it wasn’t the clothes worn by people from the continent they visited.
In a way, it was similar to what merchants from the east wore.
“That’s it. Anyway, if you give me a ride, I won’t forget this favor.”
He made a strange gesture of overlapping his hands and fists.
Was it the way they greeted you?
“Even though it seems like this, I have been born many times, but I have never forgotten humanity. This grace must be reciprocated
.
Would you please leave it like this?
The sailor held out his hand, thinking it was a joke of its own.
Although his behavior is strange, there is no doubt about him.
“It was a useless joke. Get on it sooner rather than later.”
It’s the way back anyway.
Even if you take a man with a somewhat strange appearance, there will be no problem.
they thought so
And finally, finally, as I’ve been waiting and waiting!
The expedition ship carrying the flag of Ernesia Kingdom finally returned to the port.
Citizens cheering and welcoming them.
And even the aristocrats watching with expectant eyes from the VIP seats far away.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The older brother is currently having a sad conversation with the King of Felsen Kingdom, who is also present.
Maybe something else to talk about.
I guess you don’t get tired of it either.
I have no choice but to do it.
A ship that has explored a new area in the southern continent.
The Felsen Kingdom has no choice but to pay attention to that achievement.
There is also a position that rented a port, so it must have been wise to actively use it.
Since the reaction seems to be good, can we push forward with the work in earnest?
I, too, pretend to be calm in the VIP seat, savoring the tea, waiting for their return.
Unlike other people who are busy with politics, I am easygoing as a simple water owner.
Mmm, the tea is fragrant.
‘Cheltisten? I must have brought it properly, right?’
Maybe my thinking is a bit different from the others here.
There is nothing else in my mind.
Only ‘it’ is full.
call! la! me! radish!
Cola tree when you come!
I believe you!
What do you want so desperately? The ship is completely anchored in the harbor.
After dropping the anchor, the crew first goes into work to anchor the ship completely in the harbor.
After that, the mobile board for unloading supplies and personnel was lowered and installed, and finally the crew were dismounting one after another.
And at the forefront of them is Professor Celtisten.
Fortunately, he is in good shape.
Among the things I reported earlier, there was no big change in the number of people, so there must be nothing special.
My desire is second, and that is the most fortunate thing.
It’s because I have to finish this successfully like this again so I can continue running errands.
well come back
And don’t worry.
You’re probably thinking, ‘Shouldn’t we make the next plan?’ I’m worried, but I’ve already put it all together!
So don’t worry for now and enjoy the cheers of the people.
The event to welcome the returning expedition was held immediately.
Professor Celtisten, the captain who led the ship and crew, and some experienced sailors stand before the king and nobles as representatives.
Since they have already gone through a journey and returned, their shoulders are truly proud.
There is a subtle, if not overt, pride on their faces.
you’d be proud of yourself
They must have been confident that there were no other countries on the continent, including the Kingdom of Ernesia, who had sailed further than they did.
Although no country has generous support for my ship, knowledge, or this and that.
In the end, it takes their courage to step out.
So it would be good to rate it highly.
I’m admitting that too.
The reality is that there are more people who can’t do it no matter how good the conditions are.
That’s why everyone meekly praises their achievements.
“Your achievements will remain in the history of the continent. Good work!”
Praises and medals are given, and they bow down to receive them.
Yes, this place is important.
If you evaluate their courage and make an example of it, it will naturally follow that others are also laggards.
“Wouldn’t it be hard to go on a long trip?”
“no. Even now, we are full of energy to set out on another voyage.”
At Professor Celtisten’s joking words, my older brother smiled bitterly.
And the sailors watching this sight from afar said, ‘Oh, that’s not right.’ My pupils tremble slightly.
Don’t worry, it’s a joke.
“Even so, shouldn’t we give you time to brag about your achievements?
After this event, I have also ordered you to take care of sufficient rest for you.”
“It’s just embarrassing.”
In fact, after the welcome ceremony, a grand banquet was held over several days.
And the sailors will be given no small rewards.
The older brother also thought that he had to pay a certain amount, but it was because I begged him to do it more clearly,
‘because I can’t continue to lead the project on my side.’
We should take this opportunity to properly light the fire.
Only then will there be a group of admirers and followers.
So if we set an example for each other, wouldn’t it give me a chance to broaden the things I will use?
If possible, rather than me intervening, I want the people here to actively lead.
….so that I can rest comfortably.
yes it is by the way
In order to play and live with my cute daughter, I have to solidify the frame properly.
While watching so heartily, the welcome party of the expedition continues.
And about ten days later, I personally called Celtisten.
“It’s nice to see you like this in person.”
“I don’t say anything…
” “No, I welcome you from the bottom of my heart. It’s more fortunate than anything else to come back like this.”
Only this is sincere.
Okay, come back well, won’t you bring me what I want?
“Everything is Your Majesty’s trust. And thanks to Arel’s support, heh heh heh heh.”
“That’s right.”
Cancer is not true. Give thanks three times a day.
“So, did you achieve the results you dreamed of?”
“I had some income. Approximate shape of the southern continent and distribution of flora and fauna. It’s still the first exploration, so I’ve only figured out this much. Even that would not have been possible without Arel-nim’s support.”
The reason he wanted to go anyway was because of his personal passion for learning.
It seems that you have satisfied your own desires.
Even though the eyes are lacking.
“We need to continue exploring further.”
“…Are you talking about that already?”
“It’s not that I want to go right away. That is what it means.”
he chuckled.
After all, other continents remain.
Perhaps this is a task that he will not be able to finish even in his generation.
So it must be earnest.
“Next time, I plan to bring my disciples along as well. When I came back, I looked at her condition and she was very weak.”
“I’ll go and consider that then.
I will also leave the number of people to take with you.”
I prayed for the rest of my students in advance, because in the first place, hell follows a professor.
don’t complain
In any world, disciples will weep.
I just need to post results.
“Cheltisten than that? I want to hear from you about the request I entrusted you with.”
“of course.”
He nodded readily and placed the plant seedling he had brought in front of me.
yes i wanted this!
By now, other messengers would be bringing seedlings and seeds to the Mana House, which we use for seedling improvement.
“For now… I brought it based on the data that Arel-nim gave me.”
Celtisten blurted out his words as if he didn’t know.
I’m a little concerned about whether what I want is right.
I have supported you so much, but I think you are worried about disappointing me.
I’m worried about nothing.
Because you got it right.
“Whoop, whoop, that’s right. I got it right.”
The moment I saw it, it just came to me.
I am deeply moved.
yes it is you
I’ve been looking for you
I was looking for you who may or may not exist.
Look at this beautiful plant?????? Afterglow…!
Well, the halo is an illusion that can only be seen by me.
I’m so thrilled that I see nothing.
sniff
“Are you even shedding tears?!”
“When people are thrilled, they tend to shed tears.”
I’m a professional who usually doesn’t cry, but tears come out all the time.
To be honest, I gave up halfway through.
I was assuming that even if we sent an expedition to the south, maybe it wouldn’t be there.
But you keep me from giving up
“That… is this plant that important?”
“huh!”
I need it to satisfy my taste buds.
However, Celtisten is frowning deeply between his brows as if he still doesn’t know the true value of this.
“I hear they don’t take advantage of this.”
“Oh yeah?”
At least I thought it would be used as medicine? I’m surprised
“It was said to have been used as a stimulant in the past, but recently it has been said that it is no longer used as medicinal materials have been improved.”
“I see…
South. Has it also developed on its own?
Come to think of it, the report said there were several countries.
….Actually, I was distracted by the cola tree, so I read it roughly.
A three-line summary would suffice for that much information.
“When I said I would take this, the shaman there also made a complicated expression.”
“shaman? Oh, did you say there was someone like that? I read the report once.”
Come to think of it, was it the person who intervened so that the expedition could contact amicably?
I’ll have to do a case later.
Shall I send you a present?
Or, these days, Fry’s children raised in the manor have laid eggs. Should I send them at least?
Griffins are useful if they can be tamed.
Recently, a separate area was set up for Aye Fry and her children to stay.
I’m going to keep the griffon raised there and use it later.
“There is a letter from the priestess to Arel personally.”
Correspondence?
I was puzzled, and Celtisten handed me a tightly sealed letter.
As far as I can see, there is no sign that it has been opened secretly.
“It is said that these are letters sent to Your Majesty and Arel respectively.”
“Why do you do this to me?”
My brother can do that because he is the king.
For future exchanges, you can send words with the meaning of strengthening friendship.
But why are you sending me this?
“I don’t understand…
” “Is that so? But wasn’t Arel-sama the one who devised the iron wire?
Unlike me, Celtisten didn’t seem to have too many questions.
Really?
