Although every time you go to sea, you are fighting against the sky and fighting death, once the fight is successful, you will have gold and wealth in minutes and your social status will change greatly in minutes. Therefore, Europeans have a special liking for the maritime industry and are willing to take risks for this.

It’s not okay to just have ideas, you have to be prepared, otherwise it would be in vain to lose your life.

He ordered people to fill the ship with stones, and ordered people to connect several ships with ropes. After doing these tasks, Tim ordered the fleet to proceed in the direction of the Cape of Good Hope.

It was really not easy to pass the Cape of Good Hope, and Tim also made sufficient mental preparations and route planning for this.

Every time he goes forward, the soldiers will report the specific sailing distance to Tim, and then Tim will make a corresponding estimate of the route and distance based on his perception.

"The wind and waves are getting heavier." Looking at the water vapor ahead, Bruno said sadly: "This scene is like the arrival of the doomsday."

Tim ignored him, just kept looking at the land and the map to choose the right location and enter the Cape of Good Hope. Cape of Good Hope is a very famous headland at the southwestern end of Africa. The so-called headland refers to an angled land protruding to the sea. It is often a part of the mountain that is flooded by sea water, or a part of the mountain that has not been eroded by sea water. There are many more areas of rocky shore areas, peninsulars, islands and headlands.

The wind and waves are even more urgent at the headland, and the land is looming, so if there is a slight problem, it will hit the land. Therefore, ships usually avoid it from afar when passing through this place.

As the location was almost the same, Tim then directed the fleet to turn around and sail eastward.

According to the route chosen by Tim, the fleet should enter the 200-meter-isometric sea area in the southern part of the Cape Town Peninsula, that is, sail along the coast of South Africa, and then sail northeastward to enter the Indian Ocean.

Judging from the ocean currents at this moment, this voyage happened to be smooth sailing, and it was winter again, with almost no strong westerly winds, so sailing along the shallow waters of South Africa is a better safe choice now.

"Order everyone to block the earplugs." Seeing that the ship was about to enter the west wind drift, Tim quickly ordered Bruno, and then quickly entered the cabin.

Once the westerly drifts, this means that the ship will enter the Cape of Good Hope with the ocean current. In the Cape of Good Hope, due to the rapid flow of water, the wind and waves will burst into loud rumbling sounds.

These sounds will undoubtedly give people the strongest shock, especially these Europeans who have narrow vision and particularly worship gods and superstitious beliefs. They will be even more afraid of this natural phenomenon, so Tim ordered people to prepare earplugs in advance to block their ears to reduce the penetration of sounds.

"The speed of the ship has increased a lot." In the cabin, Tim felt that the navigation speed had been much faster as soon as he sat down. I thought it had entered the west wind drifting, but the sound of the waves here was too loud. Tim only felt dozens of cannons bombarding in his ears.

Bruno frowned and said loudly, "Your Majesty, what's going on with this strange sound? Why is it so noisy? Is it the Lord angry?"

"No, this... this is the Lord's praise for us." Tim originally wanted to say that this was a very normal natural phenomenon, but he soon thought that it was the Middle Ages in Europe, and scientificism had not yet developed, and people's thoughts and vision were still in an early state of ignorance. Therefore, using scientific methods to explain natural phenomena to them is undoubtedly playing the piano for cows. It is not as realistic as the belief of gods.

Bruno was stunned: "The Lord is praising us?"

"Yes, our trip this time has broken the original boundaries of the European continent. It can be said that we are opening a new era. Therefore, the Lord is praising us. He appreciates our spirit of hard work, so he made such an excited voice." After explaining this statement with great difficulty, Tim only felt his old face blushing, and he couldn't even believe this lie!

When Bruno heard this explanation, he immediately turned his worries into joy: "Is it really the Lord happy? It turns out that when he is happy, he can make such a loud noise. I will tell others this good news. It is rare for the first time that we are so close to the Lord."

After saying that, he ran out.

"Hey..." Tim opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but found that the silly man had already run out, so he could only sigh helplessly.

This lie was made up by himself temporarily and could not stand firm anyway. As a result, this fool spread the news. What if the soldiers asked themselves, where is the Lord, and how should they answer?

Thinking of this, Tim was crying but couldn't cry, and he felt like he had dug a big hole for himself.

Soon, many people gathered outside Tim's cabin, and they all looked at Tim with a gaze.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bruno just said that you have met the Lord, is it true?"

“Is the Lord really happy for us?”

"Is this sound really made by the Lord?"

Bruno rubbed his hands and walked to Tim: "Your Majesty, please tell them the truth quickly. When I told them the news just now, they didn't believe it, but I had no choice but to bring them to you."

Tim took a deep breath and calmed his mind: "Yes, the rumbling explosion was indeed from the Lord, and he was happy for us. And I really saw the Lord just now."

Even though this is a lie, Tim can only continue to lie, because these people have a spiritual pillar in their hearts at this moment. If they tell the truth and the spiritual pillar of these people collapses, it would be too deadly. Besides, this is what he said in person. Once he overturns his own words at this moment, his authority will soon be questioned, so both public and private, they can only continue to lie against their conscience.

But how do you answer the question "Where is the Lord?" Tim suddenly remembered a fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes". In that fairy tale, the scammers did not make new clothes after receiving the money, but the two scammers said that new clothes exist, and only the most honest and loyal people could see new clothes. Therefore, in the end, everyone said that they could see new clothes because no one was willing to admit that they were dishonest and unfaithful, and could only follow the crowd and say that they also saw new clothes.
