    Chapter 106 [Cape of Storms] The storm area at the southern tip of Africa.  Diaz¡¯s three sailboats led a fleet of NPCs and players, marching hard in the wind and waves, risking being swallowed by the sea at any time, and groping forward bit by bit.  Dias tied himself tightly to the boat and carefully observed the front and surroundings on the rough boat.  Suddenly, Dias saw a black horn-like thing blocking the sea on the left.  "What is that? Is it the edge of the earth? Or a monster in the sea? It can't be a mirage, right?" Dias was extremely shocked.  "Brother! Look over there, I seem to see something!" On Dias's voyage this time, only his brother and four familiar companions were familiar with sailing. The rest of the sailors were recruited temporarily.  It was even the first time to go to sea.  "Where is it? Let me see!" Diaz's brother hissed. He was not far from Diaz, but in the violent storm, it was difficult to transmit his voice.  "It's right over there, look!" Dias pointed in one direction and shouted loudly. Today's fleet navigation relies entirely on eyesight, and telescopes have not yet appeared.  "That's land! That's land! We finally succeeded! That's a sharp corner of the land!" Diaz's brother has much better eyesight, and he can tell that it is a piece of land at a glance, "We succeeded, hahahaha  " Dias heard his brother's words and shouted to the busy sailors: "Turn left! Get closer to that corner!" Everyone on the boat looked very nervous, because the sharp corner looked more like a monster than a piece of land.  .  The sailors did not carry out Diaz's order. They were hesitant and worried about the consequences of going there. Some sailors knelt on the boat and prayed for God's blessing and prayed that God would not send them into the bottomless abyss.  Diaz became angry and shouted: "Are you going to rebel? Move forward - get closer to that corner -" The sailors saw that Diaz was angry. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then prayed for God's blessing.  , while carrying out the orders issued by Dias.  After seeing the sailors carrying out his order, Diaz said to himself: "We must get close to it, maybe go around it, and then we can go around Africa and reach the east! The ship should move forward."  The people, from Dias to all the crew members, worked hard to make the ship change course and sail towards that mysterious corner.  However, Dias's three ships not only failed to move forward or approach the corner, but were still moving backwards, retreating further and further away. The wind direction in the storm area changed. Not only did Dias's three ships  Ships, all player ships, and NPC ships that sailed into the storm area all moved backwards.  The anxious Diaz took matters into his own hands, sometimes sailing, sometimes ruddering, then directing, sometimes shouting, sometimes getting angry But, they all failed.  ¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Dias was very unwilling and tried again.  Tried again, failed again.  Try again, fail again Click!  The sound of a mast breaking came from the ship next to it. The mast of a ship was broken, and the sail was half hung on the broken mast. The direction of the entire ship was completely out of control, and it began to spin in the strong wind and waves.  There is a risk of being overturned by strong winds and waves.  Bang!  Click!  The spinning ship hit another ship, poking a huge hole in the other ship. Water gurgled into the cabin, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.  After many failures, Dias was inevitably a little discouraged and felt that there was no hope of getting close to this "Cape of Storms"!  "Cape of Storms!" Dias roared angrily!  He knew that once he got there, he could successfully open up this route.  "No, we can't give up!" Dias gritted his teeth, "If we try it again, we will definitely get there! Everyone, listen to my command!"  "Ding dong!"  World Announcement: The first phase of the large-scale epic mission [Route to the Kingdom of Gold] has been completed, and the Diaz ocean fleet has successfully reached the southernmost tip of Africa - Cape Storm Mossel Bay.  The epic navigator Bartolomeu Miu Dias decided to return to report to King Joao II of Portugal.  The epic navigator Vasco da Gama is determined to continue eastward and continue to explore the golden, prosperous and prosperous Eastern Paradise mentioned in Marco Polo's travels. The system announcements made three times in a row announced to all players that the route has been opened.  The progress has come a long way.  At Cape Storm, Dias and the others have successfully landed on the southernmost land of Africa. They have carved the name of King Joao II of Portugal, as well as the Portuguese coat of arms, cross, etc. on a cliff to commemorate this discovery.  "Vasco da Gama, you??Be careful when sailing!  "Diaz said to Vasco da Gama on the coast: "This is a guess I had about the Eastern Empire before," Dias said and handed a chart to Vasco da Gama. "We have passed the most difficult part of Africa.  If you go all the way east-north along the coast, you will definitely reach the golden east recorded in Marco Polo's travels.  Dias said that this was a bit melancholy, "In order to break through the storm area this time, my fleet ships were seriously damaged. I need to return to Lisbon first, report to the king, and then form a new fleet to go to the east!"  " "Sir, please rest assured, this voyage in the storm has given me a lot of experience in dealing with storms!  Vasco da Gama looked forward to it, "I will definitely be able to reach the Eastern Kingdom!"  " "This way, I can rest assured and be careful all the way here!  "Diaz sent Vasco da Gama to Vasco da Gama's flagship, and stood on the shore waving goodbye to Vasco da Gama. The two NPC fleets separated, and the players participating in the mission were also divided into two groups. Some players were killed on the American route.  When it opened, they wanted to go to the Americas to pan for gold. Some players had their ships severely damaged during the voyage and could no longer continue. They could only return to Europe from here and wait for Dias to sail again, and then follow the big players.  The fleet headed to the East. When Dias was about to return, players in Europe who had not participated in Columbus's opening of routes in time had not only completed their maritime courses during this period, but had also accumulated a lot through European trade.  When the system was announced, they started to form a small fleet of three or five ships, buying a large amount of trade goods, and preparing to go to America for trade. Even if it was bartering, in the ignorant and backward American continent, it would definitely be a problem.  You can exchange low-cost goods for several times the profit. In addition to orthodox merchant players, some players are determined to colonize and invade. They spend a lot of money to buy firearms and swords from weapons merchants, and prepare to go to the Americas to plunder.  Not only the players are taking action, but there are also undercurrents among the NPCs. Through the players, they also know that Columbus successfully reached the continent on the other side of the sea. It is said that the continent is full of gold treasures. This rumor is rapidly spreading in several European countries.  The news spread across the empire, and the whole of Europe was agitated by the news. "Did you listen to those adventurers?  Columbus was so beaten in America that he jumped into the sea and escaped!  "Haha, I have seen that boy Columbus, and I already knew that he was not a fighter!"  Those hands are whiter than women's hands, and I can't even hold the sword steady!  " "I think Columbus was very brave. He put you on that vast sea. You couldn't see the land for a long time. You would have died in the sea!  " "Good news!  Good news!  The palace just made an announcement!  Recruiting a crew to sail to the New World!  "A person outside the crowd shouted quickly. "Did you hear it?  "When the man who was shouting ran away, the crowd gathered together again to discuss. "Nonsense, he shouted so high, of course we can hear him!  "A man with freckles rolled his eyes and said. "Strange, why is the king preparing to leave for the New World so soon?  Columbus hasn't come back yet, and he's heading to the New World so recklessly without even getting the nautical charts?  " "Now we are recruiting sailors, and they should be training for a while. I definitely want to wait for Columbus to come back and immediately form a new fleet to go to the New World!  " "It makes sense, it makes sense, then do we want to participate?  " "Go, why don't you go, I can't afford a boat, so I'd better go with the fleet. Maybe I can find a lot of gold in the New World, and I can buy a boat when I come back!  " "Haha, it's just like what I thought. Let's go together, go together!  " "I have a ship here. Do you want to join my ship? Let's go to the New World to make a fortune together!  "A fat businessman-looking NPC said. "I'll come, I'll come, I want to join!  "A young man in shabby clothes raised his hand and shouted that he wanted to join. "Okay, okay, okay, anyone who wants to join can come with me!  "The fat businessman walked towards the dock, followed by a group of people who wanted to go to the New World to pan for gold. Just when the players and NPCs were undercurrent, a system announcement shocked all the players. "Ding dong! World Announcement  : Player ;
