Nalant immediately became energetic and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor.
However, because he was not high enough on the deck, he naturally couldn't find anything.
"Jack, keep the course, wait for me to go to the mast and take a look!"
After saying that, Nalant couldn't wait to climb up the mast.
Although he had no experience climbing masts, it was extremely easy for Narant, who had fighting spirit.
He quickly climbed to the lookout platform at the top of the mast.
"Lord, the black spot is over there. I'm not sure if it's a real island." Seeing Nalant running up, the sailor became nervous.
Nalant nodded and looked in that direction and saw a black spot in the distance.
The next moment, he raised his telescope and looked.
Under the magnification of the telescope, the original black spot finally became much closer, and it was possible to distinguish that it was not black, but green covered with lush vegetation.
Although we can't see clearly yet, we can definitely determine that it is an island.
Nalant was immediately pleasantly surprised.
"Jack, sail southeast, there is an island over there! Let's go and take a look!"
"Yes, Lord!" After receiving the order, Jack immediately grasped the direction and headed southeast.
"Sir, have you discovered the island?" At this moment, the three women hiding in the cabin also heard the noise and ran out.
"That's right, we found an island. It looks like it's quite big!" Through the lush and spiky vegetation, Nalant was able to determine that the island was quite large, otherwise it would be impossible for such lush vegetation to grow.
"Wow! Sir, what do you think there will be on the island? Will there be endless fruits?" Shirley said.
"I think there must be gold on the island. The storybook says that there are pirates on the sea, and they will hide the treasure on the island!" Catherine said.
"Sir, do you think there will be people living on the island?" Vivian said.
Hearing the speculations of the three women, Nalant rolled his eyes. As a lord, he was not omnipotent. Even the outline of the island could not be seen on the deck.
"You'll find out later, maybe you have them all!" However, for the sake of the majesty of the lord, Nalant could only deal with it with all possible means.
Next, as the ship moved forward, Nalant and the three women stood on the deck and looked expectantly toward the southeast.
"Wow, I saw it! I saw it!" After sailing at full speed for about ten minutes, even standing on the deck, I could finally see the outline of the island.
Next, everyone is looking forward to it even more.
After sailing for half an hour, I could already see the size of the island.
"Wow! Sir, this island is so big, bigger than Maiye Village!" Little girl Shirley's eyes widened, as if there were endless fruits waiting for him on the island.
In fact, according to Nalant's estimation, this island is much larger than Maiye Village. A rough estimate is that the coastline on the side in front of them is at least four or five kilometers long.
"Lord, I saw a beach there, do you want to dock now?" At this time, Jack, who had been controlling the ship, asked.
"Jack, don't worry, let's go around the island first, and wait until we determine the topography of the island before we dock!"
"Yes, sir!"
Whether it was to prevent possible danger or to confirm the size of the island, Narant wanted to take a detour first to check it out.
Under his order, Jack quickly controlled the ship and began to patrol around the island.
About half an hour later, the ship circled the island, and Narante basically confirmed the shape and size of the island.
The shape of this island is close to a square, with a length and width of about four to five kilometers.
The island is surrounded by reefs and cliffs, with a drop of more than ten meters. Only there was a beach of several hundred meters in the direction they faced the storm leader.
At this moment, he could roughly confirm that this should be an uninhabited island, because when he went around the island, he saw no traces of human life on the island, and no ships were seen around the island.
"Jack! Get to the shore, let's get ready to land on the island!" When the ship returned to the beach, Nalant gave the order directly.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, the ship slowly moved closer to the island under Jack's control.
"Wow, sir, look what's on the beach? There are so many water jets!"
Just four to five hundred meters away from the coast, the women suddenly made a sound of surprise.
Narant followed his gaze and saw that there were small drops of water rising from time to time on the seaside, like small fountains.
"Narant was a little confused when he saw this, and immediately looked through the binoculars.
"It's actually a sea clam. Are there any sea clams that can spray water jets?"
Narant was a little surprised. He used a telescope to clearly see the cause of the water column. It was some sea clams that grew in diving. They absorbed seawater and then sprayed it out to a height of one to two to three meters. The scene was quite spectacular.
.
"Sea clam? Sir, you are so powerful, we can't even see clearly!" The three women had already discovered the strange object in Nalant's hand.
Shirley tilted her little head and looked curiously at the object in Nalant's hand.
"Little girl, if you want to see it, just say it. This is a telescope. Take it and have a look! With it, you can also see the distant scenery clearly!" Nalant knew what this little loli was thinking and immediately used the monocular telescope.
Passed it over.
"Thank you, Lord. You are the most kind-hearted person!" Shirley happily took the telescope after hearing this. She didn't need Nalant's instruction, but imitated Nalant and placed the monocular telescope in front of her eyes.
"Hmm!" The next moment, Shirley's little body trembled, "Sir... is this a magical technique? Why are all the distant scenery captured in this tube?"
Shirley was a little unbelievable.
"This is not magic, this is the power of science!" Nalant said with a smile.
"Sir, what is science?"
"..." Narant. "Science is..."
Narant was also a little speechless when asked. This was a concept that even primary school students had in the previous life, but in this world it has not even sprouted.
More importantly, it is quite troublesome to explain. After a pause, Narant said in popular language: "Science is to constantly explore the mysteries of the world. For example, wheat does not necessarily need to rely on green elves to increase its yield. It can also be used
Fertilizer to increase production.”
"For example, ice doesn't necessarily only appear in winter. I can make it using the ore powder, sir."
"Now, what you are seeing is called a telescope, and it is also science!"
"Well! Sir, you are really a wise noble!" Shirley tilted her little head and seemed to understand, but it did not affect her flattery.
But Catherine and Vivian understood it better. After all, the examples Nalant gave all happened in the Storm Territory.
At this moment, the two women looked at Nalant with admiration with their shining beautiful eyes.
"Sister Vivian, Sister Catherine, you should also take a look. This telescope is really magical, and it's also fun!"
Shirley was very sensible and handed the telescope to Vivian and Catherine after looking at it for a while.
In fact, while they were talking, the ship had already approached more than a hundred meters away from the island, and it could be seen clearly even without a telescope.
However, out of curiosity about the telescope, the two women still took it and took turns trying it out.
At first glance, the two women also had the same shocked expression as Shirley.
"Sir, the coast ahead is too shallow. We can only use small rafts to reach the shore!" At this time, Jack had already ordered the crew to anchor and lower the sail at the same time.
"good!"
Originally, all seagoing ships were equipped with small wooden boats, but there were no small wooden boats in Nalant, so I made a simpler raft and hung it on the side of the ship, which was just in time for landing on the island.
