"Hey! These strange pictures, these square characters...could this be a book written by an Indian or a Japanese?..."

"Ah, no! I remembered it! Marco Polo once said that the writings of the Khitan and Seris are exactly square!... God bless! This must be the writing of the Khitan! We have indeed arrived in the East!..."

"Ahaha! I, Columbus, the outstanding, wise, and brave commander of the expeditionary force! I am the first person to reach the East and open up a new sea route!...Ahaha! Who dares to doubt me? This is India and Japan, This book is a testimony! These natives are Orientals!..."

Villages destroyed by the Tainos burned in blazing flames. The corpses of the villagers who had been hacked and stabbed to death by the sailors were piled on top of each other and burned in the fire. In front of the fire that destroyed everything, on the shore where three ships were moored, Columbus, the commander of the expeditionary force, was holding high the blood-stained "Ali Sutra" in his hand, dancing in ecstasy and shouting excitedly!

"O Lord! The rich Khitan and Seris are indeed here, indeed so close!...Ah! How could you ignorant fools reach the East without me who is brave, fearless, wise and resolute? ?!...Ah! Praise my Father in heaven! He has blessed me to come here, and He has given me the wealth of the East!..."

The fire ignited and black smoke rose, devouring the bodies of the dead and enchanting the hearts of the living. Hearing Columbus's ecstatic announcement, the sailors on the three ships looked at each other, and their voices couldn't stop becoming noisy.

"Ah? These natives without clothes... are they the legendary Khitan people who drink milk and honey every day?..."

"Shit! We haven't arrived yet!... This is just... uh... ancient Japan in Sipan before Khitan?... Or... what India?..."

"Lord! That scary square book is really... what kind of Khitan book?..."

"Yes! It doesn't look fake! Look at Columbus...Commander's excitement! Look at Clerk Rodrigo!...He's already kneeling on the ground excitedly, crying like an orgasming girl, he's so excited fainted!…”

"Ah! Then let's go quickly! Find that Khitan quickly! ... Such a rich place, if we can grab a handful, that bright gold! ..."

"Coo! You know nothing! The thing that the Khitan people have in abundance is not gold, but that... silk! Porcelain!... Each of them is more expensive than gold!..."

The flames roared and transformed into mysterious smoke clouds, which seemed like a harbinger of fate. Soon, the ghostly screams and wolf howls of Castilian sailors could be heard on the beach on the shore. They were like a pack of wolves excited and excited, smelling the freshest lamb blood and flesh! …

“Praise the Lord! Praise my most holy King and Queen! I pray to you that this is the day of the Lord’s manifestation and blessing!…”

"O Lord! This is really the East, really the rich East!...Blessed Mother! We will all get rich, everyone will get rich!..."

"Ho! Make a fortune! Grab gold! ... And silk and porcelain! ..."

Crazy greed and desire appear on everyone's face. The cry from the heart resounds throughout the sea, sky and coast! At this moment, even the dullest sailor, in Columbus's constant shouting, knew the wealth and abundance of the East!

At the end of the 15th century, what does "the East" mean in the eyes of Europeans?

A piece of silk from Seris, worth ten times its weight in gold. Even if Columbus made a huge profit and owed a huge debt of 2,000 ducats, he could completely pay it off with only ten pieces of exquisite silk clothes! As long as a porcelain vase from the East can be transported to a European port for sale, a sailor on the ship can retire and live the rest of his life with no worries about food and drink! …

This is the new sea route, flowing with endless wealth! In the face of such astonishing and possible wealth, everyone in the fleet felt as if they were on fire, and even their eyes were shining with greed! …

"Quick! Raise the sail! Go to sea! Continue eastward!...Look for the big city of the natives and trade their gold!...Then find out the locations of Khitan and Seris from the native people here!...O Lord! We must find them Khitan people!…”

The sails are full and ambition runs like a wild dog. The Castilian fleet sped eastward, faster than all the Taino messengers! And Columbus once again sat at his desk in the captain's cabin, writing his diary desperately. He praised the Lord and the Queen, boasted about his wisdom and bravery, and also cursed the other two competing ships crazily!

"Vaffanculo! Damn the Pinzon brothers! These two greedy idiots actually dare to rob the plundered loot with the heroic commander of the expeditionary force! Even with thirty of their men, they want to share half of the property?...Ha! They It’s a dream! Mine! It’s all mine!… I’m the commander of the expeditionary force! Even if I encounter the Khitan people, the silk and porcelain are all mine! They don’t belong to those two idiots!…”

"Merda! Damn it! Damn those two caravels, they are faster than my ship!...I saw their greedy eyes, like wild dogs with red eyes that eat shit!...Do they want to leave me and go on their own? Trading with the Khitans?... Damn it!..."

"O Lord! I can't even imagine, I can't imagine! When I bring the news of the discovery of the Khitans back to the Kingdom of Castile and back to the world of God, what a sensation and shock it will be!...Haha ! The fat-headed Portuguese navigation scholars will definitely stuff their heads into the ewe’s **** in shame and never dare to raise their heads to look at me again!…Haha! The proud King Joao II of Portugal will also regret it to the point of bursting into tears. , I regret missing such a great exploration captain and admiral like me!…”

"Praise the Lord! Only the divine and beautiful Queen Isabella! Only she knows my talent as a wise man and my bravery as a knight!...Ah! I have found a new route to Khitan, can I be as captured as I am? Like the pagan sultan, summoned by the queen at night?...Ah! When I return to my hometown in the Apennines, I will be the guest of all the great nobles!..."

At this moment, endless longings and endless imaginations were racing through Columbus's heart, faster than the roaring sea wind!

This is the "charm" of the East, and this is the "value" of the East. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net In this gilded era of the Renaissance, "East" is the most dreamy "opera" among the Italian city-states!

"Brother-in-law! Commander!..."

In the sweetest dream of the commander of the expeditionary force, Alana, the newly promoted boatswain, hurried over. He banged on the wooden door, waking up the sleeping and drooling Columbus.

"Merda! Damn it! Alana, what are you screaming about?! I just dreamed of the holy queen...cough!..."

"Ah? Commander? Queen?..."

Alana touched her head and looked at her brother-in-law who was getting angry and holding the sword, and was startled in confusion. Then, he came back to his senses, pointed to the south, pointed to the newly emerged estuary on the coast, and shouted excitedly.

"God bless you! Look at the south! The south!... There is another river mouth there, and there is also a large native village!..."
