Chapter 74 Judgment
Sailing on the sea is generally very boring. After looking at the unchanging scenery of the sea for a long time, you may even be confused about whether you should move or not.

At this time, the Perseverance has been sailing on the sea for more than ten days, and the young people who have no sailing experience have long lost their initial excitement, leaving only boredom and boredom.

And boredom.

"Ah... how long until we arrive, Laura, I'm already getting bored."

A girl with short black hair and an Asian appearance was sitting slumped on a chair and asked Laura, who was researching documents.

"I don't know, Samantha, sea voyages are so unpredictable, and what we are looking for is the legendary Yamatai."

Laura raised her head buried in the literature, and replied her good friend.

Nishimura Samantha, a Portuguese-Japanese mixed-race Englishman, and Laura are both college classmates and close friends.

Because Laura was eager for an expedition, Samantha soon came to the Endurance to film and translate the documentary for her good friend.

She believes that Laura can discover something, and hopes that she can witness and record it all.

In addition, her identity is also a reason. She grew up listening to her grandma tell the story of the Queen of Yamatai, so she would not give up the opportunity to find her ancestors.

Combining the two, Samantha also joined the expedition.

……

"I know, I know, I'm just complaining casually." Samantha fiddled with her camera and sighed.

"Hehe, young people just can't hold their breath."

A strong old man with white beard and hair walked over with a smile. He was the captain of the salvage ship, Conrad Ross.

After scanning around, Ross looked at Samantha again and said with a smile: "Little Laura and Xiao Xiayu are both studying literature, and I don't think they are bored."

"Both of them majored in archaeology, but I didn't. I studied documentary filming, which is my specialty."

While speaking, Samantha raised the camera in her hand and pointed it at Rose.

"Come on, Captain Ross, just smile, and I will take a picture of you bravely and bravely."

"Hehe, then I would like to thank you for taking the photo."

The time passed slowly in the boring voyage. After experiencing a few insignificant rainy days during the period, Laura gradually solved the mystery in the remaining documents.

It was about the location of the lost kingdom "Yamatai". Although she was sure, she wasn't sure if others would believe her judgment.

After all, she is just a college student who just graduated, but there is a prestigious doctor on board.

James Whitman, an expert in the fields of archeology and anthropology, has obtained a doctorate from the University of Cambridge, UK, and has taught in many universities around the world.

He is also the host of the popular archeology TV show "Whitman's World" and has an extraordinary desire for wealth and fame.

But Dr. Whitman's recent bad luck, the failure of both his family and his business, made it urgent for him to find new and attractive subjects.

So he threw everything he had into the expedition, secretly hoping that the Endurance trip would bring him new material for his new show, and that the record would bring in a bunch of wooing sponsors. .

With this prestigious doctor present, Laura didn't know if other people would agree with her judgment, but she was also sure that her judgment was not wrong.

"Xia Yu, do you think I should tell everyone this judgment, or even change our original course?"

The tangled Laura asked her boyfriend on the side, and Xia Yu was also researching with her, so she was able to solve the mystery so early.

"Well...Laura, you have more research on Yamatai than any of us. In my opinion, even that Whitman is not as good as you. He is just a villain for fame." Xia Yu put his hands in his hands. Put down the documents, looked up at Laura and said seriously.

"You're here again." Laura responded helplessly, "Xia Yu, why do you have such a big opinion on Dr. Whitman? I quite like the documentaries he made."

"I'm generally a good judge of people. That guy will definitely do some dehumanizing things for his own benefit."

In the game, Whitman is a selfish villain. He regards everyone on board as the "material" of his documentary, and prepares to use other people's tragedies to achieve his exclusive revelations.

He even betrayed his companions, took refuge in the enemy, and did not hesitate to sacrifice others to perfect himself.

It was only after that that Laura saw the true face of the doctor, but in the later stage of the game, Whitman was finally chopped into meat sauce by the enemy because of his lack of self-knowledge.

Nowadays, because of Xia Yu's obvious dislike for Whitman, Laura doesn't admire Whitman that much, and only treats him as a senior in the industry.

After the daily blackmail of Whitman, Xia Yu changed the subject and spoke again.

"Laura, you have to believe in your own judgment. I believe in you. Rose and Samantha also believe in you. This is not consolation, but a fact."

"So, boldly speak out your own guesses, we will definitely support you."

Hearing this, Laura was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well... thank you, Xia Yu."

The brief exchange ended quickly, and the two immersed themselves in the ancient documents again. The boat was still moving slowly without any wind and waves.

The next day, in the cabin.

Captain Ross and helmsman Green are cheering for their respective teams in front of the radio station, and chef Jonah is preparing lunch.

Others sat at the square table and discussed the voyage. When Laura expressed her judgment, Whitman immediately became dissatisfied.

"Laura, there is no evidence for your judgment. We all value this expedition, and I even invested all my money for it."

"I know, that's why we should go east, not west."

Hearing this, Whitman said coldly: "Who would believe it? No one would believe that Yamatai is so far to the east. It's not written in the book."

"But the authors of those books have never found Yamatai..." Samantha interrupted suddenly.

Seeming to be refuted, Whitman said a little angrily: "I can't risk my reputation for an unfounded intuition."

"However, I discussed with Xia Yu and Ross that we should not follow in the footsteps of our predecessors' failures, Dr. Whitman." Laura explained eagerly.

"Huh? Then you mean..."

"It seems that the famous Dr. Whitman is actually an unadventurous coward."

Just when Whitman wanted to continue to say something, Xia Yu also sneered.

"You brat, I'm the chief archaeologist on this ship, and I should be the one to decide." Whitman said with an ugly face after being ridiculed.

If it wasn't for his own show, he wouldn't be mixing with this group of people.

"But doctor, if we continue eastward, we can directly enter the Dragon Triangle, which is our destination."

Laura continued to explain, trying to convince this stubborn nerd doctor, but Whitman still looked dismissive.

The other crew members are thus divided into two factions. Some think that the storm in the Dragon Triangle is too dangerous and it is better not to take risks. Others think that Laura's judgment has a certain basis and they can try it.

But in the end, the old captain Ross made the final decision and decided to change the course and sail towards the Dragon Triangle in the east.

Sail to the unknown stormy land.
