Chapter 261: Beckett's Suspicions
I don't know if it's an illusion, Beckett always thinks that Mera looks at him strangely.
Especially at breakfast, Mera was no longer surprised by his usual astonishing appetite, and was replaced by an inexplicable ............ Distressed?
Beckett wasn't quite sure either.
Because when he asked Mera what he meant, she would smile softly, shake her head and say no.
And every time at this time, Woz, who is still constantly improving the "Mother Box Energy Impact Plan" in the bracelet space, will pretend to push the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and take out a serious copy of "General History of Love" to observe carefully.
The reactions of Mera and Beckett were recorded and corresponded to the descriptions in the book to ensure that the two men did not go the wrong way.
This is a book that Wadsy discovered when the library was connecting to the world's archives.
There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.
It's no wonder that Lord Sanos values knowledge so much, and Woz, who is reading more, thinks so.
Only by reading more books and absorbing more knowledge of this world can it better help His Royal Highness Beckett shine better.
Woz pushed his glasses, silently cheering himself on and encouraging.
"Wait Beckett! Where you go, where you arrive, here you are. โ
Holding the map that Woz handed him early in the morning, after following the map to the corresponding position, Mera hurriedly shouted out to Beckett.
"Here?"
Beckett, who turned around, was a little skeptical.
The house in front of me looks dilapidated and in disrepair, can this still be inhabited?
"That's right, the writer who collected all the lore about the Golden Trident lives here, as marked on the Wolds map."
As she spoke, Mera knocked on the door.
"Who's coming?"
The dilapidated wooden door was opened, and a man with a decadent face appeared in front of Beckett and Mera.
The messy stubble made it impossible for Mera to determine his true age for a moment. Hang'er's clothes give people a particularly world-weary temperament, and of course, the messy hair.
I don't know if it's a natural roll or a hot roll.
"Who are you?" The man who hadn't been a guest in his cabin for a long time put on his glasses, and only then did he see the faces of the two people in front of him.
He was pretty sure he didn't know.
"Montgomery?" Mera tentatively said the man's name.
"Who the hell are you? Why do you know my name? Montgomery suddenly panicked.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous Montgomery."
"Listen, we don't mean anything, we're just interested in the legend you've been investigating."
"Do you still have an impression? Years ago, you published a book at your own expense, "The Encyclopedia of Unpopular Myths", which mentioned Atlantis and the golden trident in ancient times. โ
Mera hurriedly raised her hand to show that she had no malicious intent, and quickly said what she meant?
"Atlantis? The Golden Trident? โ
"I remember, what's wrong?"
The decadent man wondered, as if he remembered something: "Wait, you don't want to prove that Atlantis really existed, do you?" โ
Montgomery sneered, using his self-righteous ruthless words to break the middle two fantasy of the beauty in front of him.
"Atlantis is just a mythโ"
"Get out."
The cold words rang out, the rambling voice stopped abruptly, and the rich killing intent pouring out of Beckett's body almost suffocated Montgomery.
"Woz, start scanning."
The erratic red dots on the blue screen directly identified what Mera was looking forโan old sheepskin painting and a sketch.
On the ancient sheepskin scroll, a man in golden armor holds a golden trident and steps on the sky-devouring beast, and the entire underwater world trembles at his feet, and the power is boundless.
"That's it, the first king of Atlantis!" The sharp-eyed Mera immediately recognized the figure on the scroll.
And the giant beast at the feet of this king of the sea is the legendary ancestor of the Trench Clan: Carlsen, a strange beast that has been passed down by word of mouth in the Seven Kingdoms under the sea.
As for the other sketch, the monster Mera painted on it also knows - a member of the Trench Clan.
"Where did you get these two things?"
The stakes were high, and Mera put away her thoughts about complaining about Beckett, and instead asked with the two paintings.
"It's, it's the ............ my teacher gave me"
The decadent little brother Montgomery was frightened enough by Beckett to tell him the origin of these two things.
His teacher was a fanatic of Atlantean lore.
As a well-known scholar, his teacher spent his life searching for traces that would prove that Atlantis really existed.
His teacher then found the parchment scroll and map left by the first Atlantean king on land.
Following the map, his teacher encountered not the king, but the monster on the sketch paper.
Since then, his teacher has gone completely insane.
"What about the map?!"
"Map, the teacher said that the map was destroyed by that monster...... "Mera's questioning made Montgomery cry in a hurry.
He stayed here for so long, and finally sent his teacher to the ground, only to meet two idiots who were obsessed with the legend of Atlantis.
"Ruined ............," Mera was silent.
"Why don't you just go find this Trench Clan?" Beckett thought Mera was strange.
This clearly shows that there is a problem with the Trench people.
Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence, people take the map to the map, lose someone and come back?
"You don't know Beckett, although the Trench Clan is also counted as one of the Seven Kingdoms under the sea, in fact, they have degenerated to the point where they live entirely on biological instincts."
"According to the records, after Atlantis was torn apart, the members of the Haigou Kingdom began to degrade due to the deterioration of the living environment in order to protect themselves."
"Now, one of them counts as a beast without reason."
Mera informed Beckett of the current situation of the members of the Haigou State.
Now the Haigou Kingdom has become a place of exile for the other six countries.
Atlanta, the former queen of Atlantis, was exiled there and has not been heard from since.
"What about it?"
Beckett raised an eyebrow, pointing at Carlson, the sky-swallowing beast on the sheepskin scroll.
"Carlson is said to have disappeared with the first king of Atlantis."
"So Haigou Country is now an unknown country that no one knows about?"
Beckett's battle instincts told him that there must be something wrong with this.
"Why do you feel that?"
"What would you do if you were going to die and not be worried that your weapon would be taken by a disappointing heir?"
Squinting his eyes, Beckett uttered a speculation that completely subverted the three views of Mera.
The first king of Atlantis was not optimistic about his successor, so he wanted to choose another heir.
But for unknown reasons, the second king of Atlantis knew what the first king had in mind, and secretly started a battle for royal power.
The preemptive second king severely wounded the first king, who fled to protect the golden trident and came to the country of Haigou, the country of his mount.
Carlson, the leader of the Maritime Hook Nation, is willing to sacrifice the future of the entire country to protect the Golden Trident from falling into the hands of thieves.
"You're serious????" Mera was dumbfounded.
"Otherwise, you give me a reason why the first King of Atlantis disappeared for no reason, and the entire Trench clan degenerated into wild beasts, turning the country of Haigou into a place of exile."
Beckett smelled of conspiracy and asked rhetorically.
Atlantis split into seven kingdoms, but the whole country of Haigou, where the first king's mount was located, degenerated into a beast?
The first king's power poured into the seven seas, and finally came to the conclusion of disappearance?
Are you kidding!
Beckett's rich combat experience told him that there was a lot of stuff in it.
