The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Seagull Castle is the exclusive study of Countess Katis and also the exclusive office of the Earl!

After handling official business for a morning, Countess Katis rubbed her tired eyes and stretched her tired body lazily.

Knowing that there was no one else in the study, she finally yawned casually!

This state of total relaxation without the need for disguise made her feel extremely comfortable, as if she had returned to the carefree days of the past. It was really pleasant!

But thinking of this, Countess Katis seemed to suddenly remember something sad, so her originally happy mood was instantly replaced by this faint sadness!

So in the end, Countess Katis could only let out a helpless sigh!

……

Suddenly I glanced out the window. The sun was high in the sky outside and it seemed to be exactly 12 noon!

Countess Katis still remembers that when Soran came to see her yesterday, he reported to her that Magellan's [First Transport Fleet] would set off at around 12 noon the next day!

Feeling that the time was almost up, Countess Katis lazily stood up from the World of Warcraft leather chair and came to the study window!

……

This study is located on the second floor of Seagull Castle, about ten meters higher than the top of the coastal mountain range where Seagull Castle is located, and it is on the sea side!

Therefore, if you add the special geographical location of Seagull Castle at the top of the coastal mountain, then this is simply a great and ideal place to enjoy the most beautiful sea view!

Because from the study window, looking down, you can see a rugged coastal cliff.

Layer upon layer of waves from the bottom of the cliff rushed over and hit the coastal cliffs hard, making a loud "bang" sound and splashing a white mist!

The water mist floated up along with the sea breeze, and then under the sunshine, formed a colorful mist, hazy and like a fairyland!

Looking far to the front and right, you can see the boundless sea as pure as sapphire!

You can even feel the salty and humid sea breeze blowing towards you, and see seagulls flying in the distance against the wind. It is truly a beautiful scene of the vast sea and sky!

If you look far to the left, you can have a panoramic view of the bay where the port of Ganisse is located, including the city of Ganisse on the seaside and the port of Ganisse!

It’s just because the distance is quite far, so I can’t see it clearly, I can only see the outline of a city!

And the humans living in the city of Ganise are basically invisible!

However, if you have good eyesight or are very strong, you can still see carriages that are slightly smaller than ants running on the roads in the city of Ganise!

……

Countess Curtis silently admired the beautiful sea view for a while, and felt that it was almost time for Magellan to lead the [First Transport Fleet] to set off, so she took a small object out of her pocket!

This little object is a pure white glass lens!

And this was what Soran gave her personally yesterday evening, saying it was called a [Magnifying Glass]!

This [magnifying glass] is only the size of an egg, and it is thick in the middle and thin around the edges. It is a convex lens!

The [magnifying glass] is surrounded by a circle of gold bars as a border, and is also equipped with a gold chain, making it convenient for the owner to carry it!

Although the workmanship of this handicraft is rough overall, it can still be seen that the owner put a lot of effort into making it!

[Magnifying Glass] Soran had already told Countess Katis yesterday how to use it. And at night, she was in the study, studying this new gadget for a long time!

So Countess Katis gracefully made an OK gesture, pinched the [magnifying glass] between her thumb and index finger and put it on one eye, while squinting the other eye and began to observe the situation on the sea!

As she searched, she soon discovered that there were many small black spots moving on the sea surface in the bay!

Countess Curtis took a closer look and realized that this was Magellan's [First Transport Fleet]!

This fleet consisted of fifty or sixty ships, arranged in a line, and slowly sailed out of the calm bay where the city of Ganise was located!

Of course, if there wasn't this [magnifying glass], Countess Katis wouldn't be able to see any trace of this fleet here!

But now with the help of this [magnifying glass], she can even see the people on the ship!

However, these people still could not be seen clearly. They were so small, even smaller than ants. One could only see their blurry silhouettes swaying!

Countess Curtis observed Magellan's fleet with great interest. Seeing them sail out one by one, she felt really relieved and relaxed!

This [magnifying glass] was given by Sauron, and Magellan had also reported to her that the [compass] that could specify the direction was also given to him by Sauron!

One may be a coincidence, but two is not just a coincidence!

So from this point of view, Countess Katis has enough reason to believe that these two handicrafts were made by Soran himself!

It's even possible that he came up with these ideas on his own!

After all, no one has invented these handicrafts before!

Thinking of this, Countess Katis suddenly seemed to remember something!

So she quickly shifted the telescope's view to the port of Ganise City!

Then she saw a small figure standing on the embankment of the port of Ganise City, looking into the distance in the direction where the transport fleet left, and he did not leave for a long time.

Even though the magnification of this [Magnifying Glass] was too small, and even though the man was only a blurry little black shadow, Countess Katis recognized him at a glance. It was definitely Soran!

……

Over there, Soran seemed to sense something, and he also suddenly looked up in the direction of Seagull Castle!

Of course, with his strength, at this long distance, he could not see anything except the building!

The reason why he looked up was just to guess whether Countess Katis was using the magnifying glass he gave her to observe the [First Transport Fleet] sailing out to sea?

So the situation in this case is:

Although their eyes finally met in the air, he didn't know that she was looking at him, and she didn't know that he was looking at her!
