Qin Mo had indeed done a lot of research, but that was in his previous life. He knew how big the Pacific Ocean was, but Allen and Nelia didn't. Sailing continuously for one or two months in an environment where you can only look out at water is extremely agonizing. When Magellan made his first circumnavigation, the immense mental pressure caused the sailors to mutiny several times.
"Qin Mo, it only took me twenty days to cross the ocean from the royal court to Xizhou, but this time you say it will take at least forty days. Is this ocean really that big? ...One against two."
"Oh! I think it's at least twice as far from Fusang to that new continent as it is from the new continent to Xizhou. A royal flush! One against three, I win! Money, money!"
Nelia and Allen each threw in a few gold coins as chips, then absentmindedly shuffled the cards.
Qin Mo's fleet hasn't started its steam engines yet, but it can still travel nearly 300 kilometers a day using only sail power. According to Qin Mo, it would take about 40 days of continuous sailing before they could see land. Wouldn't that mean tens of thousands of kilometers of water? Nelia and Allen found it hard to believe.
"Actually, there are a few small islands in the middle of this ocean, but they're not near the ocean currents, so we don't need to explore them for now. We can just mark their locations on the way back." Qin Mo said casually while dealing cards, indicating that he was extremely familiar with this ocean. "You can rest assured and follow me!"
"Xiao Mo, I want to ask you something... you knew all along that there was a new continent to the east, right?"
Qin Mo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Allen, are you resentful that I didn't go with you to find your mother sooner?"
The great elf did not speak, but neither did he shake his head in denial.
"I only know that there is a continent to the east, but I don't know where the royal court is. That continent is tens of thousands of miles from north to south. Allen, how many people do you think I would need to bring to explore it?"
“Now that Nelia is here, I’d like to ask, if Allen weren’t a Saint-level expert, and I were merely a Profound Realm cultivator, even if we found the Royal Court… how would the Royal Court treat us?”
"Of course we welcome you. Our Elven Royal Court welcomes all elves with open arms... Qin Mo, why are you looking at me like that?"
Qin Mo smiled and said, "If that were the case, Mother wouldn't have abandoned me to go back to the royal court to ask for the World Tree seed. Now that the royal court is in trouble, she naturally hopes that all the elves will return to the royal court to help. But what about before?"
Qin Mo touched her ear and said with a sneer, "In the past, would the arrogant royal court have given up a World Tree seed for a half-elf?"
Nelia: "........"
Allen remained silent for a long time before replying: "No!"
