Chapter 580 Are you really that short of money?
"Hey? Heather, do you think what Nelia said is true or false? If Saint Luna is really in danger, and Qin Mo insists on saving her, should we go and help her?"
"Filial piety is the most important virtue. According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty... if we don't go to help, it would be unfilial. The Great Xia Dynasty values this very much. But we don't know how far away that Elf Royal Court is... and our children are so young..."
Qin Mo wanted to ask Nelia about the Elf race, so he invited Heather and Shia out. Both women were a little uneasy and discussed their next steps.
The people of Xizhou do not value the bond between themselves and their parents as much as those of Daxia, but Xiao Shia had lived in Dayuan for a period of time and understood the importance of parents in the hearts of the Daxia people. Heather had also specifically researched many of Daxia's traditional customs for Qin Mo's sake.
Although Qin Mo's parents were not around, the two foreign wives still knew all the traditional Chinese sayings and etiquette, such as "There are three unfilial acts" and "The Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars".
“We’ll discuss this further after Qin Mo comes out. You’re in charge of so many things for the entire Sea Clan, you definitely can’t leave. If all else fails, I’ll leave little Harry with you for now, and I’ll go with Qin Mo!” Although Heatherine appears cold and doesn’t like to joke around, she is actually very kind-hearted. She is already thinking about how to help Qin Mo rescue her mother-in-law, whom she has never met.
However, Qin Mo was not so heartless as to make Heather leave little Harry, who was only two years old, whose body contained too many memories of a lonely childhood.
"I need to go back to Dayuan to confirm with Allen whether some of the things Nelia said are true. You two don't need to be nervous. Whether I go to the Elven Royal Court or not... is still unknown."
Qin Mo refused Hazel and Shia's help. Nelia's words seemed too fantastical even in this fantasy world; he needed to verify them with Allen. Hazel and Shia both had children with them, and they absolutely could not be allowed to participate in such a dangerous undertaking.
“Then I’ll take you back to Da Yuan! I don’t really have anything to do right now except raise little Harry!” Heather was still worried about Nelia, so she offered to take Qin Mo back to Da Yuan, and Qin Mo naturally didn’t object.
Qin Mo called a small meeting with Xu Liyan and the others, instructing them to continue suppressing the undead legion in the desert and wait for their helpless counterattack. With the enemy deprived of reinforcements, victory was only a matter of time as long as they fought steadily.
"Nelia, let your people return to the royal court first! You'll travel on my ship!"
"The royal court is in the west. Even if we go to the east to meet with Lord Allen, we will still have to come back. Just let them wait here!"
Qin Mo glanced at Nelia and said quietly, "We're not going from the west!"
"You... you want to go around from the east?"
"Hmm? You're right, we should go around from the east!"
"Although we have deduced that the earth is actually round, we don't know the route from the east to the royal court!"
"It's okay, I know the route!"
“............”
Nelia was truly shocked. Even Emperor Achilles had never been to that new continent. The route from Oslo to the western continent was only recorded in the travel books of the Elven race. Qin Mo had at most heard Achilles mention it, and probably didn't know the specific route.
And now Qin Mo actually claims that he knows the route from the east to the new royal court of the elves, when he doesn't even know the exact location of the new royal court of the elves!
"Qin Mo... little brother, ocean voyages are not something to joke about. Even the elven seafarers dare not be careless when crossing the ocean. You don't even know where the royal court is, how can you be sure you can sail there from the east? After all, the idea that 'the earth is round' is just a hypothesis, and no one has ever proven it!"
Nelia was very worried and helpless. Whenever she disagreed with Qin Mo's decision, the woman named Heather would stare at her coldly with disdain. Several times, she couldn't help but want to fight back.
That couple is really bullying us!
Qin Mo reached out and took out a piece of paper. While drawing, she asked Nelia, "According to you, the city where the royal court is located is in the center of the peninsula. The peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is still the sea less than a thousand miles west of the royal court, right?"
"Yes, but the ocean to the west is incredibly vast, and we have never detected any other continent... Uh... Is that... a map of the royal court?"
Qin Mo drew a rough map of Central America and pointed to the location of the Yucatan Peninsula, asking, "Is the royal court here?"
Nelia nodded blankly, her face expressionless. She was certain that she had not revealed the exact location of the royal court to Qin Mo, but the map in Qin Mo's hand had completely left her bewildered.
After the elves arrived in the new continent, various tribes explored and settled in all directions of the jungle around the royal court. It took more than ten years to fully explore the area within a radius of thousands of miles. By the time the coastline map of the entire elven-controlled area was drawn, more than ten years had passed. That map with the coastline was always a secret that only the elven high-ranking officials were qualified to access.
However, the map that Qin Mo casually drew was simple, but the coastline was incredibly accurate, just like the map treasured in the Elven royal court.
In the end, Nelia agreed to Qin Mo's suggestion and boarded Qin Mo's steamship "Da Yuan No. 1".
"This is your room. We will arrive in Taiyuan soon. If everything you said is true, we will set off within a month at most and arrive at the West Coast within three months!"
