Chapter 12: The Entrance to the Dragon's Lair
Knowing the name alone wasn't enough to solve Douglas's current predicament.
Counting from the news of the disappearance, Wright's life card has not disappeared after four days, and it can basically be confirmed that he was not caught in the storm, but coincidentally passed through the wind wall and entered the dragon's den.
So the godfather's ultimate goal is to find a safe way to get in and out of the dragon's den and rescue his own family members.
But to achieve this goal, it's not enough to know a name...
After all, this is just information gathered from various intelligence traffickers, and if the name Charles can be relied on to easily find the scholars of the year, the exploration operation thirty years ago will not end without a hitch.
As it stands, this legendary figure is either deceased or completely changed incognito, and in either case, it may not be so easy to find him by ordinary means.
Fortunately, in addition to the name, from what I learned about Charles Murphy. Douglas can still summarize more information about the whole incident related to Forberu and the Dragon's Den.
And based on the personality model stitched together by these fragments, Douglas has already made a preliminary plan in his mind...
A day later.
A merchant ship passing through the waters near the three islands of Longwo rescued a teenager who had been shipwrecked.
This was not an unusual thing, but according to the description of the rescued, the child claimed to have come from the inside of the dragon's den!
At this moment, the gossip about the storm in the dragon's nest suddenly exploded nearby.
At the same time, the navy stationed nearby also dispatched in time, not only sending an advance team to anchor at the port of the three islands of Longwo, but even showing signs of further manpower investment on the island.
… The scene is reminiscent of the legendary exploration that took place thirty years ago, and the course of events is exactly the same.
In the eyes of most ordinary people, the rapid movement of the navy is to prevent chaos similar to that of the past, so it is simply one step ahead to prevent outlaws, including pirates and thugs, from approaching the dragon's den at this point in time.
As for the child who brought out the news in the first place, as the most critical person, it is said that he has been managed and protected by the officials of the world government, completely isolated from the outside world, and no news has come out.
This kind of itching feeling in the boots makes the well-intentioned people who covet the large treasures in the dragon's den scratch their ears and cheeks, but according to their ability, they simply do not have the courage to attack the government dignitaries when the navy is in full swing.
… Of course, all of the above is just a superficial situation.
In fact, the mastermind behind the scenes knew very well that the boy who suddenly appeared in the sea was named Leonardo, and the merchant ship that was rescued was originally carrying out the business of the Golden Rose, and as for the government official who provided protection for the boy, it was naturally Douglas himself.
He did not hesitate to set up this trap, gambling on a possibility.
Douglas watched the show quietly behind a curtain that no one was paying attention to, quickly weeding out the ineligible candidates until a cricket fisherman came into his field of vision, and it wasn't until Douglas noticed the complicated look in his eyes that he smiled victoriously.
- He was right.
Looking back and thinking about it, if the incident thirty years ago is from the perspective of the scholar himself, he can actually interpret more about Charles. The content of the Verberu.
Compared to the people who flocked to the Scholars after they successfully traveled back and forth to the Dragon's Den and brought back the cherished ore, Charles, who had faith in delving into the secrets of the Storm Circle, was clearly not blinded by money.
… If he was like those stupid people who were bent on pursuing treasures, he would not have announced the news about Dragon's Nest Island at all, after all, a monopoly operation is the fastest way to accumulate wealth.
What's more, after the exploration of Dragon's Nest Island went out of control, Charles changed his mind and chose to disappear on his own initiative, which generally ended the chaos, showing that he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and good intentions.
Based on the above two points, Douglas guessed that even if he hid his whereabouts thirty years ago, he would definitely not be far from the waters of the Dragon's Den... Because even if he can guarantee that he will never reveal the method of entering and exiting the dragon's den in his lifetime, he is also deeply worried that someone else will reveal this secret.
And once this conjecture is true, the next arrangement is logical.
Ordinary people think it's easy to deceive one person, but it's hard to deceive most people, but in fact, really clever deception is often the opposite.
History has proven more than once that the eyes of the people are never bright, and the lonely wise man is often able to see through the contradictions in lies.
Taking this situation as an example, even if everyone clearly admits that the Dragon's Den is a maritime forbidden area that is absolutely impossible to enter and exit, when the navy and the government joined the incident one after another, providing strong public credibility to provide evidence, people should have overturned the previous common sense and reasoned along the logical chain arranged by Douglas.
Driven by this social trend, those wise men who originally scoffed at fallacies also began to succumb, and finally, for the slightest possibility of nothingness, they fell into the trap of the godfather.
Douglas: "See the fisherman with the hat?" ”
Renard: "Yes, Godfather. ”
Douglas: "Send someone to follow, find out the address, and we'll wait at his house first." ”
Renard: "Yes! ”
