Chapter 186: The Age of Discovery (9)
"If this isn't Reiki, what is it?"
"The Soul of the Sea."
Shi Zhen continued: "The Nolan Continent was created by a great achiever, and after he died, his body turned into countless fragments and sank into the sea, those fragments contained the divine power that the great master once had, and the energy emanated from the bottom of the sea, and the seawater, fish and shrimp, and even the air, all gave birth to his people on the sea. β
"No wonder their physical fitness is unusual, the fragments you are talking about are still at the bottom of the sea?"
"Yes, there are records of fragments in the history of the Nolan Continent, they call it sea crystal, but no one has ever obtained sea crystal."
"Why?"
Shi Zhenxiang stretched out two fingers: "First, Haijing is in the deep sea, they can't go down, even if they can dive into the deep sea, no one knows the specific location, it is not easy to find a needle in the bottom of the sea; Second, there is a kind of divine beast near Haijing, Hailin, which used to be the patron saint of Dacheng. β
"Hailin......" Ye Qing flipped through the records about the divine beast in her mind, but she couldn't find any Hailin, she looked at Shi Zhenxiang and raised her eyebrows: "Is it difficult to deal with?" β
"I don't know."
At present, the mission route is very clear, the temple that Ye Qing and the others are looking for should be in the Lost City, and the person who led them to the Lost City is Rodriguez.
Rodriguez's mother's illness has been cured, and his uncle's matter has been resolved, Ye Qing doesn't know when he is going to leave, perhaps, she should push it.
When Ye Qing and the others returned to Rodriguez's house, he found Ye Qing and asked them their plans first: "Do you plan to stay in Ebins, or go somewhere else?" β
Ye Qing was thinking about how to speak, and Rodriguez continued: "Your kindness, I really don't know how to repay it, Ye, I have sworn that I will follow you for the rest of my life, and when you are in danger, I will sacrifice my life in exchange for your safety, but before that, I still have one more thing to do." β
"Are you going to save someone? I'm sorry, but I heard your uncle say something inadvertently. β
"I'm going to save Gloria."
Rodriguez didn't hide anything, he told Ye Qing the whole story.
Rodriguez's father and Gloria's father are brothers who can give each other's backs, and many years ago, the people who followed Rodriguez to find the Lost City naturally also had Gloria's father.
However, her father's disappearance did not prevent Gloria from inheriting her father's talent, and she became a living map of the sea, even if there were places she had not been, she could determine the location of the ship according to the direction of the ocean, signs of wind and clouds, shore reefs and vegetation, and lead the ship out of the misty sea, the black bay, and several major navigation routes, which was even more precious to her.
Two years ago, Gloria secretly left Ebins' home and embarked on a voyage in search of the legendary royal city, the Lost City.
According to legend, Corus put all the gold, silver, jewelry, and otherworldly treasures he had collected in his life in the Lost City, and in addition to that, there were also gifts from the god of the sea in the Lost City.
The god of the sea, that is, the founding god of the Nolan continent.
"Walk through the labyrinth of the god of the sea, step into the dazzling golden temple, wash your hands, pray sincerely, open the shrine of worship, and have the power of the god of the sea." Rodriguez hummed a folk ballad.
"Anyone has been to the Lost City?"
"No, no one has ever found the Lost City for more than three hundred years, but ......" Rodriguez stopped suddenly, closed the window and door, and beside her, whispered, "We have seen the apparition of the Lost City!" β
"For a long time, everyone thought that the Lost City was just a legend, but it was just a legend, how could Gloria and I see the Phantom of the Lost City appearing on the sea?"
Ye Qing understood that what Rodriguez was talking about was a mirage.
When Gloria went with the men to find the Lost City, three months later, Rodriguez was asked by Dia to find Gloria, and when Rodriguez found her, their ship had been trapped in the fog for half a year.
ββ¦β¦ Winds, lightning, waves, their ship was swept into the sea, and only Gloria boarded our ship alive, strange to say, after Gloria boarded the ship, the fog suddenly disappeared, and a ruin appeared on the sea. β
"How do you know it's the Lost City?"
"The labyrinth, the Golden Palace, I've seen them all."
At this point, Rodriguez fell into memory, and the lost city seemed to reappear before his eyes.
"And then?" Ye Qing asked.
"We're running out of fresh water, we're going to find a place to dock, the ship needs to be repaired, we're going to go to Rose Bay, but we're going to a place that no one knows about, and on the map, it's just an ocean." Rodriguez paused and said, "Actually, it's an island, it's a very small island, and there's a cave in the middle of the island, and it's full of gold!" β
"We moved the gold that the ship could bear, and the way back was very smooth, until we ......" The expression on Rodriguez's face became complicated: "A crew member betrayed me, he told Barrio about us, and Barrio led people to the sea near where you found me, snatched the gold, killed all the crew, and captured Gloria. β
"Barrio?"
"Barrio Cawayello Luna." At the mention of the name, RodrΓguez clenched his fists: "He is the second son of the current patriarch of Carvaiello, because my father once defeated his father, and from a very young age, he began to hold a grudge against me and find someone to bully me. β
"And how did you survive?"
"I survived because Gloria knocked me out of the boat when they were about to feed me to the sharks, and before that, she said she had always liked the wooden doll I gave her."
Ye Qing saw a light flash in his eyes.
"She didn't like it at all when I gave her a wooden doll."
"And what is she hinting at you?"
"You're so smart!" Rodriguez analyzed with her: "Why did Barrio kill everyone, but he wanted to keep Gloria, because she is a living map, and Gloria was originally going to find the Lost City, because she determined the general location of the Lost City from the navigation notes left by her father. β
"Ye, Barrio needs Gloria to take them to the Lost City."
"And on Gloria's third birthday, I gave her a wooden doll, and she threw it away, saying it was a toy for the noble ladies, and I asked her what she liked, and she said nautical charts."
Ye Qing asked, "She left the map?" β
"Yes, it's at her house."
"So, I'm going to find the map of the Lost City, get the best ships, gather the best crew, I'm going to find Gloria, I'm going to find the Lost City!"
"When are you leaving?" Ye Qing had a smile on his face: "Can we board your ship?" β
"The voyage is going to be dangerous, no one knows what we're going to go through, and, Barrio...... He became very powerful. β
"We are partners, we trust you, Rodriguez, let's witness the legend of the Lost City together!"
