Chapter 4: Legends

The door to the cabin was pushed open, and Douglas sent away the crew who had come to deliver the meal, continuing to study the materials that had been hastily sorted out before departure.

… Regarding the Dragon's Nest, although the vast majority of people in the West Sea who live on the sea have heard of it, there is not much really accurate news.

In addition to the fact that the reasons for its formation are unknown, even the exact location of its location is disputed.

Most seafarers only use the adjacent three islands near the Dragon's Nest as coordinates, and avoid the sea area encircled by the three islands when sailing, and if they want to specifically point out the location of the Dragon's Nest, few can say clearly.

And that's not all.

Due to the complexity and danger of the currents near the Dragon's Den, ships traveling to and from the surrounding islands often have to choose a relatively fixed route, which gives some sinister pirates the opportunity to snatch it.

It is precisely because of this that many pirate groups have taken a fancy to this, so they have been entrenched around the waters of the Dragon's Den all year round, wantonly plundering.

Douglas set off alone this time, and did not take the ships of the Young Army with him, so it was even more difficult to hire a ship willing to explore the waters of the Dragon's Nest.

However, in addition to these negative factors, there is also a part of the information gathered about the Dragon's Den that is of great interest to Douglas.

INTERVIEWER Although there is no empirical evidence, there is a rumor about "Treasure Island" circulating in the nearby islands.

Legend has it that within the wind walls of the dragon's nest, which can be called a natural disaster, there is a small island isolated from the world.

The island not only has a simple and prosperous life, but also is rich in all kinds of rare minerals, which can be regarded as an ideal country for speculators.

Helplessly, the towering wind wall is too terrifying, even if many people know that there is a treasure hidden in the eye of the wind, few people have the courage to explore it.

Thirty years ago, there was a scholar who claimed to have found a way to get in and out of the Dragon's Den, and because of his appearance, the Dragon's Den exploration set off a craze, but in the end it turned out to be a hoax.

Most of the fleets heading for the Dragon's Den were swallowed up by the invisible sea, except for a few small boats that survived, and the scholar has been missing since.

… Douglas himself was skeptical of this record.

In this chaotic sea, technological and cultural limitations have prevented many natural phenomena from being rationally explained, and countless legends have evolved as a result.

Just like the previous "Golden Underground Palace" incident, the young godfather just slightly embellished the fairy tales in the children's books, and after reasonable operation, he easily deceived the vast majority of people's audio-visual hearings.

This is enough to prove that as long as you have a strong heart, it is not difficult to create one or two unsolved mysteries.

But for the same reason, Douglas read too many deliberately vague and evasive details from this story, which only cast a veil of mystery over this absurd legend.

- Generally speaking, this kind of treasure hunt adventure story often focuses on the process of exploration.

It's like the rumors of Sandora, the golden country.

Although the "upwelling current" is a strange way to reach the Golden Country, it is at least mentioned in the deeds of the braggart king Rolando.

However, in the legend of exploring the dragon's den, there is no explanation from beginning to end as to what method the scholar intends to use to break through the wind wall, and it is even as if he is deliberately concealing it.

In addition, the time of this incident was only 30 years ago, but there is no record of the name of the scholar, which is even more worthy of speculation.

"It seems that we have to go to the field to collect information."
