Chapter 49. Ghost Ship (Medium)
Lin Hao's eyes swept around the room, but he didn't find anything valuable, his palm grabbed those clothes, and these items that had been placed for I don't know how many years instantly turned into a pile of fragments, but at this moment, several round things fell from them, and then, a crisp sound sounded in his ears.

With his eyebrows raised slightly, Lin Hao leaned over and picked up the shiny gold coins on the ground.
Compared with the gold coins commonly circulating on the Western continent at present, the gold coins in his hand are completely different in terms of weight and the patterns and patterns engraved on them.
The gold coins in his hand were all engraved with a lifelike dragon pattern, as if they were about to break through the illusion and fly out of the gold coins.
"This kind of pattern ......" Seeing the hideous dragon pattern engraved on the gold coin, Lin Hao always felt as if he had read it in a certain book, but for a while, he couldn't remember it at all.
Quickly searched for his past memories in his mind, and his mouth kept chattering, suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the darkness, and Lin Hao's originally confused eyes suddenly became brighter.
"By the way, it's the Tulip Empire."
The empire, whose name does not seem to be domineering, fell more than two hundred years ago, but to this day, there are all kinds of legends about the country.
As the only overlord on the Western Continent more than two hundred years ago, and today's four empires each occupy a region, the Holy See of Light is hiding in the shadows to watch, and the elves, dwarves, orcs and other major races have risen one after another, in that era, nearly two-thirds of the entire Western Continent was occupied by this behemoth, and as for the other races, under the huge pressure of this huge empire, they can only live in a corner. Even the Bright Holy See, whose power is now more than all over the Western Continent, did not dare to face its edge at that time, and could only stay in their "Holy City" honestly.
But this empire, which was so vast that it could not be comparable, suddenly collapsed at its peak.
One night more than 200 years ago, the sudden death of Henry Chad in the palace of the last king of the Tulip Empire began to spread like wings.
On the same day that Henry Chad died, the top governors of dozens of provinces under the vast empire declared their independence.
At the same time, the empire's most powerful and bloodiest and most violent institution, the Imperial Military Department, also underwent drastic changes in silence, and in the midst of the bloodshed and killings that ordinary people could not reach, this most iron-blooded and powerful organization also began to degenerate little by little.
And in addition, behind that layer of darkness, there is too much darkness and killing......
Overnight, this behemoth of the past had become shattered, and then completely collapsed.
Of course, this is only one of the theories about the sudden demise of the Tulip Empire, and to this day, it remains a mystery how this huge empire, which has ruled the continent for more than a hundred years, suddenly collapsed overnight.
And after the collapse of this "giant", the people of the entire Western continent also ushered in the darkest, most tragic and crazy era in the past thousand years.
After the fall of the Tulip Empire, his influence was like a twelve-level sea storm on the calm sea, and the ships around it were drowned by the monstrous waves it set off without even having the slightest time to react and have no chance to escape.
After the fall of the Tulip Empire, all of a sudden, the hidden forces of all parties came out of the background, and at the same time, the major races that were forced into the barren land also seized this once-in-a-century opportunity and launched a crazy counterattack.
And within human beings, the struggle between various forces is even more bloody and cruel than words can describe.
The forces of all sides are fighting each other, but they are suffering the people at the bottom. Every day, countless human lives are lost, bones are covered with the wilderness, and blood stains the entire land like flowing water, but it still cannot extinguish the ambition in the hearts of some people.
In such a cruel environment, a series of unimaginable cruel incidents such as eating children and eating human flesh raw have never stopped.
Therefore, for this crazy and bloody era, later historians called it the "**** era".
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and after decades of chaos, four young people are like divine help, in this vast sea of people, and then they have created their own powerful empires, these four young people who were still unknown at first are the founding ancestors of the four empires of today's "Sword and Rose Empire", "Sugeria Empire", "Willanda Empire", and "Saint-Gerlia Church".
After the formation of a four-legged situation, although there was constant friction between the four empires, and wars broke out from time to time, wars like the kind of war fought by the power of the whole country never happened again.
After decades of recuperation, the entire Western Continent slowly regained its vitality, and then after decades of development, the Western Continent has today's prosperity and prosperity.
Lin Hao looked at the ancient gold coins in his hand, and he was also a little emotional for a while, looking at the domineering dragon pattern engraved on the gold coins, he seemed to be able to imagine how powerful and confident the tulip empire was more than two hundred years ago.
However, more than 200 years have passed, everything that once was gone has also disappeared, and the empire that was extremely powerful in the past is now unable to find any trace of it, and people may only be able to imagine the grandeur and power of the empire in the past in those history books.
Lin Hao didn't expect that the ship he stepped on was an ancient product more than two hundred years ago, but this can also explain why the equipment on this ship is so backward. But at the same time, another question also formed in his mind, that is, how could this ancient ship appear in this nameless land, could it be sucked in by that strange black fog like himself?
The reason for all this, of course, he has no way of knowing.
Putting a few gold coins on his body, Lin Hao turned around and pushed open the second wooden door not far from here, just like the previous room, this room was still a sailor's room, and there was nothing of value in it.
