Chapter 1829 Disguise Identity

"Lord Leo, where do you think we will be transported?" After the man in the cage was silent for a moment, another naval officer asked.

Leo didn't know anything about the geography of this world. Of course, it was impossible to know where this ship carrying a large number of prisoners would go, but he could tell from the look on the officer's face that the other party was interested in this.

He guessed that the reason for asking was just to confirm whether his guess was correct, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking me."

Hearing Leo's words, the naval officer also showed a look of relief on his face, smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems that our destination is really Ma Tau Bay."

Ma Tau Bay is obviously a strange place name to the people around it. They all looked confused. Although Leo didn't know where this place was, his face still looked calm, but

I was thinking about how to extract relevant information from the other party.

However, soon Leo didn't have to think too much, because someone had already asked the naval officer directly for him.

This naval officer did not hide anything, he told the information he knew about Ma Tau Bay, and later said that after everyone arrived at Ma Tau Bay, no matter what positions they were assigned, they must unite, otherwise,

Accidents may easily occur.

According to naval officers, although the coastline of the New World is very long, the already explored coastline is suitable for docking ships. There are not many places to build ports. Most places are only suitable for small boats to dock, and large ships need to dock on the coast.

In the deep sea area, small boats can transport various supplies and personnel.

As the name suggests, Ma Tau Bay is a bay in the shape of a horse's head. This is a natural deep-water bay newly discovered in the Kingdom of Lute. It is said that this bay was originally surrounded by a reef and rocks, making it impossible for ships to pass, but it is not known that it is due to seawater corrosion.

, or because of a certain earthquake, these reefs and rocks were shattered and sank to the bottom of the sea, thus exposing the natural bay of Ma Tou Bay, which was discovered by the passing fleet of the Kingdom of Root.

The Kingdom of Lute, who discovered Ma Tau Bay, felt as if they had found a treasure. They immediately built Ma Tau Bay, built a wharf, port and corresponding towns, and stationed a large number of soldiers there. The whole process was carried out in an extremely secretive manner.

The method was going on, and I learned that relevant rumors had recently spread to the Novat continent.

"This should be good news for us, right?" After hearing the intelligence about Ma Head Bay, a naval soldier couldn't help but said: "Since the Lute people have built the port and town, then we can go there

There should be no need to work as a coolie, carrying bricks and stones."

"You have such a beautiful idea. If possible, I would rather carry the bricks and stones." The officer glanced at the soldier disdainfully, then turned to look at Leo and said, "Master Leo, it wasn't just now.

Did you say that, those of us are likely to be incorporated into Root's pioneering group. Being a pioneering group in the New World is much more dangerous than being a soldier on the battlefield. Do you know why the Kingdom of Root tried its best to cover up the Ma Tou Bay

exists, but now you can't stop the message from being transmitted?"

Someone immediately thought: "Is it related to the pioneering group?"

The officer nodded and said: "It is said that Root organized a pioneering group of 7,000 people with the intention of clearing away the land around Ma Tou Bay. As a result, the 7,000 people entered the jungle and were completely wiped out. Even those who were later sent out to check the situation

The more than a thousand Ma Tau Bay garrison troops did not come out of the jungle again. Because the garrison force of Ma Tau Bay was greatly reduced, the people who were originally imprisoned there found an opportunity to escape, snatched the ship, and fled back to Novat.

Mainland China, then the news was passed on." As he spoke, he paused, swallowed dryly, and continued: "According to the information revealed by those who escaped, there are not only several people near Ma Tou Bay.

There are large indigenous tribes numbering tens of thousands, and there are also a large number of monsters hidden in the jungle. These monsters will sneak into Ma Tau Bay late at night to eat people. Even the high walls around Ma Tau Bay cannot stop those monsters."

After hearing the officer's words, there were only gasps of cold air all around, and everyone had ugly looks on their faces. Some people even sat on the ground dejectedly, feeling like they had fallen into some kind of despair.

The existence of monsters in the New World is not a rare thing in Novat Continent. More than ten years have passed since the discovery of the New World. A total of more than fifty coastal kingdoms of various sizes organized various fleets and corps to exonerate the New World.

, but more than ten years have passed, and each kingdom can still only linger along the coastline of the New World, unable to expand to deeper inland areas.

The reason is that in addition to the indigenous tribes and the dense jungle environment of the New World, what is more important are the mysterious monsters that inhabit the New World. Nearly 90% of the pioneering corps established by governments and private chambers of commerce died in these mysterious monsters.

After being attacked by monsters, the remaining layers died due to attacks by indigenous tribes or diseases such as malaria caused by the environment. Therefore, monsters in the New World have become synonymous with death, and basically all you encounter is death.

However, the place where this ship is going now turns out to be a monster activity area in the New World, and it is very likely to be assigned to a dangerous organization like the Pioneer Corps. How can these people in the cabin who know the situation not feel despair?

.

The emotional changes of these naval soldiers in the cabin cage were naturally noticed by the guards at the entrance and exit of the cabin. They didn't know why these Behrend naval soldiers were chatting easily one moment, and looked like they were about to die the next moment.

expression.

However, they knew very well that these Behrend navy soldiers were very important to the kingdom's expansion into the new world. Nothing could happen to them, at least not on the ship. If anything happened, it would have to wait until the handover was completed, so they immediately sent someone to inform them of the situation here.

The captain and first mate.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, the captain and first mate were stunned. Then they saw the captain turning towards the first mate who was responsible for prisoner management and said, "Are you going to threaten them again?"

"No, I haven't gone since you gave the order last time." Although the first mate is much bigger and younger than the captain, he still seems a little timid when facing the old captain.

, shook his head quickly.

Upon hearing this, the captain turned to look at the guard captain in charge of the cage cabin and asked, "Have you deducted their daily meals?"

The guard captain hurriedly said: "Of course not. I am completely following your instructions to provide those guys with food so that they will neither be hungry nor too full."

The captain frowned, was silent for a moment, and said: "Observe their movements secretly. If they do anything bad, stop them immediately, take them to the deck and tie them to the mast, and let them dry in the sun for a day or two."

The guard captain quickly said yes and turned to leave. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. As if he remembered something, he turned around and said to the captain: "Sir, they seem to know where we are going?"

"What?" The captain didn't understand for a moment and looked at the guard captain in confusion.

The guard captain immediately said in detail: "I mean, they seem to know that we are going to Ma Tau Bay, and they are planning to incorporate them into the pioneering group."

"How do they know these things?" The captain was stunned, and immediately turned to look at the first mate and asked, "Did you tell the truth?"

The first mate quickly denied: "Of course not. I have never mentioned anything about the route and purpose in front of those Behrend people."

The guard captain also explained: "No, it wasn't what Mr. Cabot said, it was their own speculation. There seems to be a scholar among those prisoners. He guessed the destination of our trip and where they would be."

These two things are related to joining the pioneering group."

"Scholar?" Both the captain and the first mate asked in surprise: "A scholar from the Behrend National Academy?"

The guard captain nodded.

The captain and the first mate looked at each other for a long time, and then the first mate asked first: "Did you know that there is a scholar from the Behrend National Academy imprisoned in the cage on the ship?"

The captain looked at the first mate with a strange expression, as if to say, "Isn't this nonsense? If I had known, I would still have this expression."

Although the national academies of Rutte and Behrendt have always been at odds with each other, and they have publicly stated more than once that the other's national academies are a garbage dump and a maggot nest, in fact, regardless of whether they are scholars from the two national academies,

Ordinary people in both countries know very well that the academic level of the other side is no worse than their own.

Therefore, even though the relationship between the two countries is extremely bad and has almost reached the bottom of incompatibility, both sides still respect the scholars of the other academy and also respect the aristocratic status given to the scholars by the other party.

Now from the mouth of the guard captain, we know that a Behrend scholar is imprisoned in the cage. The captain and others must take it seriously. Even if they cannot revoke the prisoner's identity, they should give the other party the treatment that a scholar deserves.

For example, providing a separate room, providing better food, etc.

When the guard captain just walked out of the captain's cabin, the captain suddenly ordered: "Bring that scholar here, I want to talk to him."

Not long after, the guard captain was seen taking Leo to the captain's room. Perhaps because of Leo's disguise as a scholar, the guard captain did not put handcuffs or other torture instruments on him.

After Leo entered the captain's cabin, the captain and first mate looked at Leo. First of all, Leo's clothes made them a little confused, because Leo's clothes were similar to those of Behrend and Root.

There is a big difference, but from the perspective of the cutting and matching of clothing, it is a mature clothing style. The two of them did not pay too much attention to this. After all, scholars’ thoughts are too divergent and they often have some fantastic ideas.

He also designs some strange clothes by himself, so no matter how weird his clothes are, they have seen them, but Leo's clothes are pretty good.

Secondly, when they saw Leo for the first time, they immediately believed in Leo's status as a scholar. Although Leo's body shape made him look more like a warrior, his overall temperament made him look more like a warrior.

Anyone who sees him will think from the bottom of his heart that he is a scholar, or that a scholar should have such a temperament.

The captain stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Leo, and introduced himself: "Buffy, the captain of the Speargun."

Leo also reached out and shook it, and responded: "Leo Dodd, an oceanographer from the Behrendt National Academy."

"Ocean scholar?" The captain was stunned.

This is the first time he has heard the name of such a scholar. Although the coastal kingdoms have entered the era of great sailing adventures, there are no corresponding subjects in the national academies of each kingdom. Only the military academies of each kingdom have specialized subjects.

Navigator training.

"This is a new subject I founded," Leo seemed to have seen through the captain's thoughts, and said: "It mainly studies marine climate, tides and marine life. It has not been recognized by the academy yet. I originally planned to go to sea to study some results this time.

, and then go to the college to apply for subjects and degrees. Now..."

Leo smiled bitterly and said no more.

Although Leo's words were just made up at random, neither the captain nor the first mate in the room doubted each other. After all, the temperament of the other party had already engraved the identity of a scholar on their consciousness from the beginning. The current explanation

This only makes the two of them respect Leo even more, because in their understanding, a scholar who can create a new subject is definitely an extraordinary great scholar.

"Who is your mentor..." the captain asked curiously.

"Professor Ferrance, specializes in the study of species in the New World." Leo said a name. This name was the scholar mentor in charge of leading the team on the silent ship. He knew this from an officer.

"Professor Ferrance, I've heard of his name." Before the captain didn't know the identity of the name, the first mate took over and said, "He is the leader of New World species research at the Behrend National Academy. I

I once received a commission to get some plant seeds from the New World, and it is said that they were sold to him."

"I think you won't be able to receive commissions from him in the future," Leo looked at the first mate and said solemnly: "A few days ago, the ocean-going ship he and other scholars and students were on was destroyed in that naval battle.

Your country's warship was sunk, and in the end I was the only one left alive."

Hearing Leo's words, the captain and first mate's expressions changed greatly, and they asked in unison: "What did you say? The ship of an academy scholar was sunk?"

Leo could tell that something was wrong between the two of them now, so he followed the other's thoughts and said, "Yes, you two can go down below and ask the prisoners, they should all know."

Neither the captain nor the first mate had any intention of sending anyone down to inquire, because they had already believed Leo's words, and their expressions turned ugly. The captain even punched the table hard, and gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder

Those guys would be so willing to hand over this ship to me, and also give me the task. It turns out that they are in trouble and want to make me a scapegoat. Damn it, damn it! I should have thought that those guys have no good intentions.
