Chapter 116 - 36. Renie’s Self-Proof
Riding the electric car, Fisher slowly made his way back to his residential area in the evening twilight. The evening car was packed with gentlemen who had just finished work. Workers who couldn’t afford the fare could walk if they lived near, but those who resided farther would randomly find a spot to lie down inside the factory, borrowing clothes from other off-duty workers to use as bedding.
Exhausted, Fisher returned to his apartment, where Martha had just prepared dinner. The delicious aromas from the dining room instantly stirred Fisher’s appetite, and he couldn’t wait to taste the evening meal. A voice from the radio filled the room, as a melodic lady sang in praise of sailors setting sail.
"I am Captain Blake!"
"Through the seas and the mists, pioneering every corner of the world!"
"Gold and treasure are not my true desires; it’s the thrill of adventure that I yearn for!"
"Join me on board, my treasure, and together we’ll compose an epic poem of adventure!"
Fisher paused slightly as he sipped his soup, remembering that the song must be several decades old by now, a tribute to the first wave of adventurers who set sail to explore new lands.
The song’s protagonist, Blake, was a real person. While all humanity stood on the shoreline gazing out at the sea, he heeded the imperial command and piloted humanity’s first pioneer ship into the mysterious and uncharted ocean.
After more than a decade of adventure, he circumnavigated the entire Western Continent, accurately documenting the pirates and ocean currents around the continent; he traveled through the Southern Ocean and discovered the South Continent filled with gold and treasures.
Thus, Captain Blake was also known as "the first pioneer."
