"They had been living in the village outside the city until Dia married Dowling, and Gloria hinted that my place must be where they used to live!"

Subsequently, Rod took Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng to the outside of the city.

Leave the city north and follow the path to the sea to the west.

The three of them walked on the seaside, Ye Qing looked at the sea while walking, blue and deep, and in the distance stood a huge stone statue of the king of navigation, Corus, the boat under the stone statue, like a child's toy, and the people on the boat were so small that they were almost invisible.

The sound of the sea crashing against the reef echoed in my ears.

Ye Qing's heart couldn't help but rise and fall with the waves, and a sense of surging and awe arose.

In fact, in front of the ocean, what can human beings be?

And what will they experience when they come to the Nolan Continent this time?

Ye Qing had a hunch that they would gain a lot here.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at Zhuangzi, where Gloria and her mother Dia had previously lived.

"This is it." Rod did not take them into Zhuangzi, but in a separate earthen house outside Zhuangzi.

The house looks very dilapidated, surrounded by weeds, growing half a human height, pushing open the door, raising a thick layer of dust, Rhodes went in first, Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng went in after a while, and when they went in, there was a wooden table and two stools on the left side of the door, and on the right side was the bed, the fireplace, and the door to the cellar.

Rhodes opened the only window to let in the afternoon sun.

"You guys are right here, I'll go to the cellar first."

When Rhodes went to the cellar, Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng had already started to look for the nautical chart, the house was simple, whether it was furniture, walls, or ground, they had carefully searched for it, but there was still no trace of the nautical chart.

As usual, Gloria doesn't put something so important in a place where it's easy to be discovered.

Where did the nautical charts go?

Was it a map drawn on parchment, or was it engraved on some kind of object?

Unable to find the navigation chart, Rhodes was even more sad and even depressed than Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng.

Ye Qing sat at the door, watching Rod continue to check and rummage, and Hu Yingfeng went out.

A few minutes later, Hu Yingfeng's voice came from outside the house.

"Come and have a look."

Ye Qing and Luo Luo went to the back of the house, and Hu Yingfeng was standing next to a dry well.

"There's something down there?" Ye Qing walked over, lay on the edge of the well and took a look, and shouted: "Hey-"

Ye Qing's hearing is different from ordinary people, according to the echo, she can feel that the space under the well should not be just a little bit of what she sees in front of her.

"Did you bring candles?" Hu Yingfeng asked.

"I have." Rod took out the candle, looked at the bottom of the black well, and then looked at the two of them: "I'm afraid the candle won't work, I'll go find a torch first, you wait for me." ”

Rod went to Zhuangzi to borrow torches, leaving Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng.

"You're going down to see it?"

"This location." Hu Yingfeng walked to a meter away from the dry well, stomped his feet, and continued: "There is a small room made of stone, and there are many things in it, among them, there is a wooden doll that looks subversive of my imagination, and this should be Gloria's secret base. ”

"She's smart." Ye Qing exclaimed: "Their mother and daughter don't live here often, if things are stored in the house, even if they are well hidden, it is inevitable that they will be discovered, if they are placed in this dry well, especially where there is a human skeleton at the bottom of the well, who can go down the well when they are full?" ”

"According to Rod, Gloria is not only a living map of the sea, but also a very powerful samurai, and I really look forward to meeting her."

Hu Yingfeng had a piece of hay in his mouth and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing the Great Demon King Barrio, who is very good at cutting off his beard and bullying." ”

After a while, Rod returned, and the three of them went down to the dry well.

On the side of the dry well, there was a small hole, Rod got into it first, Ye Qing handed over the torch, and he hurriedly called the two of them in.

After entering, Ye Qing found that even if someone jumped into the dry well, if they didn't know that there was another space inside, they might not be able to find the hole, after all, the bottom of the well was too dark.

Enter the stone chamber, which resembles a small library.

In the Nolan continent, parchment can be regarded as a luxury, except for bachelors, basically only used in the royal family and nobles, because the process is complex, expensive, very few civilians will use, the role of parchment is to write, civilians do not even know words, there is no demand for parchment.

In the stone room, there were a lot of notes written on parchment, Ye flipped through them, they were all about navigation, such as ocean currents, wind direction, climate, etc., Gloria really spent a lot of energy in order to find her father, or realize her dream.

In order to come here to study and research, Gloria managed to dig a tunnel in the room of the Dowling Tavern.

After flipping through all the information, Ye Qing's gaze stopped at a page in the notebook, which contained a piece of parchment folded in half.

The parchment was folded in half twice, and when she opened it, a nautical chart appeared to her.

"Look, isn't that it?"

“…… This is Stewart Island, and this is Rose Bay...... Oh, this is Rose Bay! Rod was so excited that he even trembled: "It must be this nautical chart!" ”

Rod took the picture and looked at it carefully, but suddenly frowned: "I don't understand the mark on it, what does this star symbol represent?" What does this circle represent? ”

Just because you have a nautical chart doesn't mean you'll be able to find the Lost City.

Because no one knows where the Lost City is, the location of the Lost City on the nautical chart in Rhodes' hand is only a general direction.

Even if they know the direction, they need to know how to get there.

The annotations on the nautical charts are particularly important.

When Rhodes pointed to a special figure, for a moment, all three of them looked up.

"Table!"

That's right, the various signs on the nautical charts appeared under the table in Gloria's room in the Dowling Tavern, and they complemented each other, and Rhodes combined his own sailing experience and consulted a few elders, and cracked Gloria's nautical chart in a few days.

Once you have the map, it's time to assemble your crew and prepare your ships and other items.

On the one hand, the four Ye Qing, who have no sailing experience, can only play the role of passengers for the time being, and they can provide military support when necessary, in addition, Rhodes said that they also need gunners, sailors, handymen and a pharmacist.

In terms of materials, Ye Qingwei directly showed that they were not short of money, but Rhodes said that he had a way to make money.

In order to prevent the Caveyero family from coming to trouble again, Rhodes sent Maria and Manny to his grandmother's house on the island of Mass and put them on the ship, only to see that the ship disappeared into the sea before Rhodes returned.

Early the next morning, they went to Gambo.

Gambo City – Home to the largest and most luxurious casino in the continent of Nolan.
