Chapter 322: The Legend of Edo
"Treasure?" Li Tong's eyes flashed with a bright light, and his tone was subconsciously much higher, "There is a treasure around here?"
"Not only this vicinity, there are too many treasures in this sea! Almost every year, there are merchant ships loaded with goods capsized in the storm, every year! Of course, after the simple goods sink to the bottom of the sea, they cannot be wanted, but some, such as the gold ship, if they capsize on the sea, they will become treasures......"
Polk had been a sailor since he was a teenager, and now he has been a sailor for more than twenty years, and he has heard too many legends about this, so as soon as the topic is mentioned, he begins to talk endlessly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Let's just say that we just passed through the Shark Sea yesterday, and a large merchant ship capsized there due to a storm two years ago, and legend has it that the merchant ship was loaded with gold and silver artifacts, which were to be transported to the country of thunder with backward production technology to be sold......"
"There is also the northwest sea of the water country, where there is a sea of storms, and there are hurricanes and rainy weather all year round, I don't know how many ships have sunk there, and the earliest shipwrecks can even be said from a thousand years ago...... That was the time when large wooden ships first appeared......"
"Oh yes, I remember four years ago, in the north of Hanoshima...... You know the island of Waves, right? It's the island east of the Fire Country...... Just north of Ha Island, about 500 nautical miles away, someone found a shipwreck treasure from 300 years ago and obtained nearly 200 million worth of gold, but this gold was finally robbed by pirates......"
Li Tong listened and nodded from time to time!
I have seen it for a long time!
In fact, this kind of thing can be imagined, just take his previous life as an example, there are really too many treasures in the ocean!
Because in his previous life, there was the Age of Discovery, in that era, I don't know how many Western explorers dug and looted a large amount of gold and silver in the Americas, and used big ships to transport them back to their own countries, as a result, many ships capsized on the sea, so there are many legends about ghost ships!
"So, what are the treasures and legends in this sea area?" asked Li Tong.
"Here......" Sailor Poke glanced at the fishing boats in the distant sea, "they must be looking for the treasure recorded in Edo legend!"
"Edo legends?" Li Tong raised an eyebrow.
"That's right!" Poklian said, "It was six hundred years ago, when the ninja world was still in the period of a thousand clans competing for supremacy, and the Edo clan was a samurai tribe in the land of water...... At that time, the country of water was not what it is now, because the country of water was an archipelago country and was extremely divided, so at that time, only the main island of the current country of water was called the country of water, and the other islands, almost every island with a larger area, was an independent country!"
"The location of the Edo clan is the Edo Island in the land of water, which is now the land of water, and it was called Edo Province at that time! It was a small country ruled by the Edo clan, and the population of the whole island was only a few tens of thousands......
Li Tong nodded, now talking about a small country with tens of thousands of people, it is incredible, such a small country cannot survive, but six hundred years ago, it was not uncommon.
“…… The Edo clan has been defeated!" Polke still said, "The royal family fled overseas with all the contents of the treasury, intending to take refuge in the land of fire by boat, but at sea, they encountered pursuers, and it was the current Watermelon Mountain clan who pursued them!"
"They pursued and pursued all the way, and the great ships of the Edo clan sailed into this sea, and when they encountered a storm, and then there were pursuers, and they did not give up or surrender, but ventured into the storm...... Legend has it that at that time, the boat of the Jianghu clan had been seriously damaged, and the boat of the Watermelon Mountain clan was like this, and the Edo clan entered the storm circle by boat, and the Watermelon Mountain clan stopped and did not venture into the ......"
Legend has it that the Edo royal family was buried in the sea with countless pieces of gold and silver...... This legend has been widely spread in the land of water and the country of vortex, and to this day, I don't know how many treasure hunters have gone one after another, but they have not found this treasure that may not exist at all......"
"Why do you say it may not exist?" asked Li Tong.
"Because it's a legend!" Polk grinned and shook his head, "No one saw the Edo Imperial family die in the storm, no one saw their ship sink, and it is possible that they passed through the storm and arrived safely in the Land of Fire, and then went incognito......"
"Yes, yes!" Li Tong nodded.
"What's the matter, the little brother is also interested in treasure?" asked Pock.
Li Tong shrugged noncommittally.
"Don't think about it!" Poke waved his hand at Li Tong and advised: "There are so many legends of the treasures of the sea, if I tell you them one by one, I can't finish telling them for three days and three nights, but there are only a handful of them that can really be found! Many legends are not true!"
"You see, we don't encounter many of them on this route, if you set out from the Land of Water and take the few routes they took to the Land of Fire, you will find many, many treasure hunting ships...... Every year, I don't know how many treasure hunters die in the sea, the ocean is merciless, we can get all kinds of fish and shrimp from the ocean, fill our stomachs, we can find pearls and precious corals in the sea, and earn money, this has been given to the gift of the ocean, why ask for too much?"
Li Tong smiled!
He thought that Pock must be a philosopher who had been delayed by his career as a sailor!
"Pock, Pock, come and take the handle......" shouted from the middle deck.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Polk immediately agreed, and ran in that direction.
Li Tong turned around and watched Pok run away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an upturned arc!
He also stepped off his overtime, entered the cabin, and soon returned to his room.
The stamps are gone!
The next moment, Li Tong appeared in the sea, about ten meters away from the sea, and all around his body was seawater!
He immediately pulled out another card from the item space!
Treasure Cards!
Bite it in your mouth!
Crunch!
The guidance signal suddenly appeared in his mind, within a radius of two hundred kilometers, the most valuable treasure was forty-six kilometers away in the southwest!
"Walk you!"
Li Tong's body shook and began to swim underwater at a super high speed! Because it was only ten meters below the surface of the water, the pressure was not great, so he moved very fast!
Every five minutes, he will show his head on the surface of the sea, for a breath!
And so, twenty minutes later.
Li Tong came to the sea above the signal guidance position!
All around is the endless ocean, the merchant ship he was on before is too far away to be seen, and there are no other treasure hunting boats nearby.
He wasn't sure if this treasure was an Edo treasure, but he felt that it was very likely!
Although it has not been found for 600 years, in fact, this is normal, the difficulty of ocean treasure hunting is not only because the ocean is too big, but also because the depth, the ocean is too deep, the pressure below is too great, and the water is pitch black, in this era without metal detectors and other high-tech assistance, unless there is accurate information, treasure hunting is almost like hitting a big luck!
Li Tong stood on the surface of the sea, took a few deep breaths, and after the last deep breath, he plunged headlong into the water and went straight to the bottom of the sea!
