Chapter 56 Changes on the Map
Jing Yu refused Ralph Stamford's request without hesitation. He believed that he should clearly tell the other party that there was nothing to do with him, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not.
So he wrote in his reply:
“Dear Mr. Stamford,
Since I was treated unreasonably at your estate, I have no understanding of your actions, especially since you have bribed my servant and intended to possess my personal belongings. However, even so, I will still clearly inform you this reply that the "Atlantis" you said has nothing to do with me, I have not known the name before, and now I have no knowledge of it. If you want to find this place, you can find another place and confirm again that I have no information to provide.
In addition, I cannot provide any information about your proposal to the manor, so I cannot accept it because I have not been able to provide any information. I hope you will deal with it separately."
After writing the letter, he put the envelope in and prepared to send someone to mail it. But now he only has two maids and a cook at home, and no one can go out.
In the past, there was naturally a personal male servant Henry in Jingyu who did these things, but now he didn't know where he went, so most of the things he went out later were done by Butler Andrew, but he had to take care of the things at home, so he became even busier.
Jing Yu now hopes to find a reliable person. He thinks it should be good to find a boy servant, but this kind of thing cannot be found in a short while. He has asked Andrew to search for it.
In addition, Jing Yu also planned to buy a world map and planned to carefully study the difference between this world and what he knew well. Is the "Atlantis" mentioned by Ralph Stamford the advanced civilization mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his own world that was destroyed in the flood tens of thousands of years ago?
It seems that there have always been Western historians, archaeologists and explorers in their own world to try to find this lost ancient civilization, but he did not hear any accurate information before Jing Yu traveled through time. Most people just regard "Atlantis" as an ideal world that Plato imagined.
But before that, he would receive another child, the boy named Livan before.
"Sir", he stood straight in the living room, and although he was wearing shabby clothes, his face was very serious.
"Mr. Levin, have there been any changes in Stamford Manor recently?" Jing Yu asked, signaling him to sit down and asked the maid to send some snacks.
Instead of eating first, he reported: "Yes, sir, the house you asked me to see seems to be preparing to move inside. I saw more than a dozen large boxes transported out of it and put on the carriage. I asked behind me that they all went to the London airship station, which seemed to be transported away."
"Okay, Mr. Liwen," Jing Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Please and your friends must keep an eye on it, especially to confirm whether a very fat man and his beautiful daughter have left the house, whether to go to the airship station after leaving, and whether you have to go to the airship or not, you'd better figure it out, because I need to know all of these."
"It's guaranteed that there's no problem," Levin said.
"But you have to be careful, but don't let anyone discover it." Jing Yu added that he must confirm whether Ralph Stamford has left London, otherwise he always feels that being stared at by the other party makes him feel uncomfortable.
"No problem, we are all veterans in this field and will not be noticed," he continued.
"That's good, this is your reward today." Jing Yu took out a bag of coins and handed them to him. There were more than a dozen shillings inside, just enough for these children to share.
"Your sister is already in school?" Jing Yu asked again.
"Yes, sir," he looked a little happy and said, "I have been sent to the boarding school. I have visited her before, but the school's supervisor did not allow me to go in, but I still secretly saw her."
"That's good, Mr. Liwen, when the next thing is over, you can go to school. After you learn to write, you can just write it for me every day, so that you don't have to come to me every day to talk to me in person." Jing Yu persuaded.
"But now, you still have to keep an eye on that house. By the way, is there still no one in the other house?" He added that for the little girl in a wheelchair, he also asked Liwen and others to see if there was someone inside every day. He planned to write a letter to thank him if there was someone there. It seemed that the other party didn't seem to like someone to disturb him at that time, so he didn't plan to visit him.
"Yeah," Living nodded, "Where we will check it out every day when we pass by. It's true that we haven't seen anyone for several days, and there are no lights at night, so no one lives in it."
"Okay, Mr. Living, but there is something you need to help now," Jing Yu suddenly thought of him, and he ordered, "Of course, you can finish eating first before going, that is, to buy me a map, which is the kind of map that is available all over the world. Don't just be from downtown London or some other place. Is it OK to ask for a world map?"
"Of course, sir, I'll go now."
"Don't worry, you can finish it, I'm not in a hurry to use it."
However, the other party still wanted to get up and leave. Jing Yu immediately gave him another pound and said, "I'll give you the rest of the map." Then he ordered the maid to pack the snacks and let him take them away.
About an hour after Liwen left and Jing Yu was still busy with other things, he came back with the map.
"Sir, this is the map you want. I found a lot of places to buy it," he said breathlessly, "This map is the largest and latest, only 12 shillings."
While speaking, he handed a cylinder to Jing Yu.
"Thank you, Liwen, please leave the remaining money." After Jing Yu took the cylinder, he found that it was empty, so he opened the lid of the cylinder at one end, pulled out the rolled map inside, and spread it out directly.
This map is about half a meter wide, and is one meter long after opening. It is drawn in light yellow, which is completely different from the brightness of modern maps, but the texture is still good, but these are not important, because after Jingyu opened it, he immediately found that the continent inside seemed completely different from the earth.
This is also the first time Jingyu looks at the world from such a macro perspective. In this map, the Siberian region of Russia does not exist at all on the map. Asia seems to have disappeared from Mongolia to China to Southeast Asia. Only the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Himalayas are still in its original location. There are only some scattered islands left in the east. India in the South Asian subcontinent has become a large island floating in the center of the Indian Ocean.
The three continents of Antarctica and Oceania are connected by isthmus. There is also a huge vortex painted on the entire Pacific region, with the words marked "Sea of Death".
In the Western Hemisphere, Europe has become more separate, and the original Eurasian plate has become beyond recognition from the earth. The American continent has completely separated into two independent lands, North America and South America, separated by a large ocean, and the area of the Arctic is even larger, as is Greenland.
Moreover, on the North American road, there are also large areas of water on the border between Canada and the United States, which looks like an inland sea, and the land is still connected but it is not as familiar as you.
Jing Yu had never thought that this world was so different from the earth he knew before. He always believed that this world was just history and that the country had been distorted, but the geographical location of the entire world was not much different from his own earth.
So he always thought that the electronic maps on his mobile phone were originally more accurate than this era, but the national administrative region was different from the world, but now he was shocked again.
"Sir?", looking at Jing Yu's stunning look, Li Wen said from the side.
"Ah", Jing Yu was called by him before he realized, "What's the matter?"
"Well, can I leave?"
