Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Xu San and Huan Ji left the cabin and closed the door.

The entire cabin corridor was pitch black, with almost no light. A few scattered people held onto the handrails in the corridor and looked out at the night view through the windows.

Actually, it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing good about it. Even with Xu San's superb night vision, he couldn't see very far.

"Is the power outage related to you?" Xu San also gripped the railing, looking out the window. His voice was soft, barely audible, but he knew that Huan Ji should be able to hear him clearly.

"Hmm~ I discovered something strange, so I used some methods." Huanji said in the same voice, while she turned her head and gripped the railing, looking outside side by side with it.

"What strange stuff is it that you can get something out of it?"

"There may be benefits, but there will definitely be troubles."

"What trouble?"

"Yamatai," Princess Genki uttered softly, referring to a specific region.

Yamatai was an ancient Japanese regime recorded in the historical book "Records of the Three Kingdoms: Book of Wei: Biography of the Wa People". It existed around the 3rd century AD and was located in the northeastern part of Kyushu Island.

This place is not well-known in China.

However, it is very famous in island nations, and various legends about it circulate among the people.

Among them, Queen Himiko was the most outstanding.

"In 239 AD, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Cao Wei and received the title of 'King of Wa,' along with a gold seal and purple ribbon." Xu San pondered for a moment before revealing the truth.

Actually, he didn't know much. He knew about this place because he had once received a script, and a small part of the plot was about Yamatai.

Based on his principle of dedication to his job, he took the opportunity to look up some information.

After hearing Xu San's words, Joaquin looked at Xu San in surprise, "You even know the year, do you know something else?"

“239 AD was during the reign of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei, with the reign title Jingchu,” Xu San said calmly. “That should be the Three Kingdoms period, not the Han Dynasty. I’m familiar with it because I particularly like that period of history.” Huan Ji nodded, “I like it too.”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Xu San asked.

"Yes, it's a magnificent work. My brother enjoys reading it too."

"Are you reading the Japanese version?" Xu San continued to ask.

"Yes, I also read the original Chinese version later." Huanji said softly, "The original Chinese version is still better. After the translation, I always feel that something is missing."

"It seems your Chinese is quite good!"

"It's alright, you'll get used to it after a while." Huan Ji's voice remained calm and expressionless.

A woman carrying a candle emerged from a nearby cabin. Xu San shifted his position to make way for her.

After the woman left, Xu San continued, "I don't remember which year Yamatai sent envoys to China again. By then, the Three Kingdoms period had ended, and the Jin Dynasty was in a dominant position. After that, Yamatai disappeared from Chinese history books."

"What a pity!" This time, Huanji's words were tinged with regret.

"Sixteen hundred years ago, if it's related to this ship, then it's very likely to be the tomb of Queen Himiko," Xu San said, offering his guess.

"What are you guarding?"

"Europeans, you know, pirates, they have a special affection for other people's graves."

"A legacy issue from the Age of Exploration, perhaps?"

"It seems you're quite good at history," Xu San said with a smile.

"I'm an outstanding graduate of Waseda University." (End of Chapter)
