Chapter 337 The Ascetic of the Holy Temple
"Did you remember the coordinates?"
"Your Highness, I will never forget this and will personally deliver the message to Director Lin."
"Repeat my command!"
"Go to India and find Director Lin of the Development Administration Bureau. Have them assemble an expedition team to travel south from Aden, detour around the western part of the continent, reach 34 degrees south latitude, establish a settlement, and expedite immigration. We await His Highness's further instructions." Qin Mo's personal guard, Chen Ji, repeated the task Qin Mo had given him, his eyes resolute and fervent.
“Remember to tell them that the seas there are very rough. After you get around that cape and reach the west coast of the mainland, there is a good harbor at 34 degrees south latitude. There are natives there, and maybe... Westerners. Tell them to be careful.”
After seeing Giulio off, Qin Mo began to give instructions to his two bodyguards. Xu Ge escorted Leif to follow Giulio to prepare the ship and then go to Madeira Island to set up camp.
Chen Ji was given another task by Qin Mo: he needed to personally go to India to inform Lin Yongqian and deliver a message to him containing the flight route and coordinates from India to Cape Town.
It goes without saying how important Cape Town's geographical location is. The gold and diamonds of various colors on that land are also enormous wealth. Qin Mo has long coveted it, but he has not had enough manpower, and the navigation conditions in the Indian Ocean are not good. His men also need time to adapt, so it has been delayed until now.
"Your Highness, what if we get into a conflict with someone in the area...?" Chen Ji asked as a final question.
Qin Mo closed her eyes and carefully considered the matter.
South Africa in later generations was a country that was extremely close to the level of a developed country, but its racial discrimination was very serious. A small number of white people ruled the country, and black people were at the bottom of the country.
Later, the great leader Nelson Mandela led the Black people to seize power in the country. This was a great victory for the Black race. They finally reclaimed their land and became the masters of this prosperous land.
Then... South Africa transformed from a near-developed country into a developing country, and is now on its way to becoming an underdeveloped and impoverished one. Black people are unable to support the foundation of a developed country. South Africa's crime rate, unemployment rate, and level of 'government' corruption have reached alarming levels.
Qin Mo opened her eyes and said to Chen Ji, "If you encounter a conflict, don't hesitate, just... suppress it."
Qin Mo had absolute confidence in his subordinates' abilities. In this world, after the emergence of alien races, humans also obtained cultivation methods through ruins. These cultivation methods were mainly concentrated in the hands of a few royal families in Great Xia, the Holy Temple, and the Western Continent. India did not have a complete cultivation lineage, let alone that remote corner of the Cape of Good Hope.
Knowing that she was about to part ways with Qin Mo, and that she didn't know when she would see Qin Mo again, Leif clung to Qin Mo all night, even shouting until her voice was hoarse.
"Xu Ge will protect you all the way to Madeira, and then he will wait there until my people arrive. You will not be harmed again." Qin Mo stroked Leif's chestnut hair and comforted her softly.
"You're sending people to Madeira, so you'll be coming later... right?" Leif asked in a hoarse voice, overjoyed.
"Yes! I'll come see you, but... it'll be a while, you know... I'm quite busy!" Qin Mo felt a little flustered. She was indeed very busy. Several women she was connected with were thousands of miles apart, and in this age of sailing ships, she really couldn't be in two places at once! She must work on a steam engine when she has some free time, no matter how difficult it is.
"No matter how long... I'll wait for you!" Tears streamed down Leif's face as she boldly embraced Qin Mo, who in turn wrapped her arms around the slender, soft body.
In the end, the girl left. The carriage had already driven far away, and with Leif's eyesight, she could no longer see Qin Mo. But Qin Mo still saw her trying to lean out of the carriage window and wave vigorously.
"Your Excellency Qin Mo, now that you have no more worries, may we depart?"
Qin Mo knew from her cold words that Princess Heatherine was getting impatient... The thought of going on a mission with someone who was always so aloof gave him a headache.
St. Petersburg, located at the northeastern corner of the Baltic Sea, was once an important outlet to the Baltic Sea for the Russian Kingdom. As the orcs and humans fought continuously on the eastern front, St. Petersburg became a naval base for both the Russians and the orcs, and its status in the Russian Kingdom was second only to Moscow in the south.
After several days of traveling by day and night, Qin Mo and Heather finally arrived at the outskirts of St. Petersburg.
"Heather, you don't mean for me to just charge into the city with you, do you? I'm still so young!" Qin Mo couldn't help but complain to the saintess as she looked at the orc army coming and going in the distance and the crowded warships in the bay.
"Are you that young? I get the feeling you're more afraid of death than those old guys," Saintess Heatherine said sarcastically to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo had gotten used to it. After leaving Riga Fortress this time, Qin Mo suddenly felt that Saintess Heatherine had changed a lot. She was not as indifferent as before, and seemed to have become more down-to-earth.
"I...I'm really young, I'm only in my early twenties. What about you, are you thirty?" Qin Mo decided to make a sarcastic remark to Heather. In her previous life, asking a girl if she was thirty would have been practically asking for trouble.
“I… am twenty-six…” The saintess wasn’t angry. After a long silence, she told Qin Mo her age.
Qin Mo sensed that something was wrong with Heatherine's mood. She seemed lost and lonely, but she didn't want anyone to get close to her. She buried herself in a corner, bearing her loneliness all by herself.
