Chapter 472: The Giant City
Time passed little by little, and just as it was late at night, Willis, who was standing on the bow of the boat, suddenly saw a dense fog rising on the shore of the lake in the distance, and these dense fogs were slowly looking towards the lake little by little.
"Go ahead! When Willis saw the anomaly, he immediately reacted and commanded his men.
Soon after, Heel Bundy, who was under house arrest in the cabin, was brought to the deck, although he was not hurt or abused, but Heel Bundy's complexion was not good, in his opinion, he had offended the leader of the Wolf Gang anyway, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to run the Mines River route again, which made him worry about his future livelihood.
"I ask you, is the fog you mean over there?" Willis asked in a deep voice, ignoring Bundy's current mood as he pointed to the fog on the shore in the distance.
"Fog?" Bundy was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what Willis was talking about, and immediately turned his head to look at the shore, and when he saw the dense fog slowly expanding towards the lake through the moonlight, his face immediately became extremely pale, and he sat down on the ground with his feet, and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, it!"
After getting the answer, Willis didn't pay any attention to the heel Bundy, but shouted at the surrounding subordinates who were made to move by the moonlight: "Everyone is ready for Lao Tzu! Kill me to death later, if anyone has a little strength, I will go back and let him stay in the dog farm with those for a month!"
Hearing Willis's threat, all the Wolf Gang's faces changed, and then they all roared loudly, indicating that they would definitely go all out later.
Sitting on the ground, Bundy did not have the courage to be emboldened by the morale of the wolf gang, he had not seen werewolves, and he did not think that a group of ordinary people would make those fish-man monsters an opponent, what he wanted to do now was to find a place to hide before the fog spread, and then light a bonfire to escape this disaster, and he also vowed that after this incident, he would sell the ship, never run the line of the Mines River again, and would not even consider returning to Joshshire.
However, as Bundy crawled to the cabin, a figure appeared in front of him, and said in a very reassuring tone: "Don't leave yet, I have something to ask you." ”
Heel Bundy looked up and saw that it was the nobleman who was standing in his way, and behind him the proprietress of the Jungle Hotel and another noblewoman also walked out of the entrance to the cabin on the ground floor.
Seeing this, Heel Bundy couldn't help but show an extremely ugly wry smile, and said: "This lord, you better let me hide, it will be very dangerous here for a while, or you can hide with me!"
"No need! there's no danger here!" Leo smiled and shook his head, then walked to the side of the clutter pile to find a clean box and sat down, then patted the box next to him, and said, "Come and sit here, I have something to ask you." ”
Seeing Leo's attitude that he couldn't refuse, the smile on his heel Bundy's face became more bitter, no different from crying, but he didn't dare to have any objection, because when the three of them came out, the people who went down to the cabin had already been closed by a gangster, not to mention the sharp weapon bow and crossbow in the hands of the gangsters, the muscular body alone was not something he could resist.
Bundy got up from the ground with a trembling heel and walked to Leo with his head drooping, and did not dare to sit down, but stood aside and asked, "Master, what do you want to ask?"
Leo asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you used to make a living at sea, can you tell me about your experience at sea?"
Leo's request was a bit inexplicable, and Bundy thought that Leo wanted to ask about the fishman, but he didn't expect it to be completely unrelated.
Although he was dissatisfied with Leo's question, Heel Bundy didn't say much, but recounted his experience at sea as briefly and quickly as possible.
Like all civilians who leave Joshshire, Heel Bundy was introduced by his fellow townsmen to work as a porter at the wharf of a port, and then under the guidance of his fellow townspeople, he boarded a freighter on which he would have been a sailor until the day the contract ended, if there had been no accident.
But things often happen, as soon as the freighter he was on departed, he was confronted by pirates, and the whole ship was arrested, among which the owner and some wealthy people were quarantined, waiting for the families of these people to pay the ransom, while ordinary sailors were forced to become pirates.
After that, he spent several years as a pirate in the waters near the route between the Kingdom of England and the mainland of Mozambique, and on several occasions he almost died at the hands of the guards of the hijacked ships, or at the hands of the Navy of the Kingdom of England who came to clear the pirates.
However, his luck has always been good, often without danger, although there will be some injuries on his body, but fortunately they are not fatal injuries, and they will not cause any disabilities.
Originally, Heel Bundy thought that he might spend the rest of his life on a pirate ship, and might even lose his luck in a certain battle and die at the hands of someone else, but then something happened to them, which made him lucky to get rid of the pirate ship, and also got a sum of money, fled back to his hometown, and finally became the owner of the Lucky Star, and it is for this reason that he named his ship Lucky Star.
After heel Bundy quickly finished talking about his story, Leo immediately spoke: "You said that something happened to your pirate ship, and then you escaped from the pirate ship and got a lot of money, you were too vague about this experience, can you tell me what happened?"
"Huh?" Bundy immediately looked embarrassed, for it was one of his big secrets, and not even anyone closest to him had ever heard him say it.
When there was a hesitant look on his face, the Wolf Gang stood beside him and glared at him fiercely, although the Wolf Gang didn't know Leo either, but they knew that their heads seemed to be very respectful and fearful of Leo, so they would cooperate with Leo in some things.
In the face of the coercion of the wolf gang, Bundy naturally did not dare to resist, and could only talk carefully about what he experienced back then.
As he spoke, not only did Leo listen intently, but even the others stepped forward to listen carefully, and even Willis gave up staring at the slowly approaching fog for a while, and left the matter of staring at the fog to his subordinates, and leaned over to listen to Bundy's story.
The reason why these people are so interested in the story told by Heel Bundy is because it has some connection to the almost mythical story of the origins of the Kingdom of England.
In the story of the royal family of the Kingdom of England, when the royal family led his people from the French Empire to the Ingge Islands, they encountered a storm, and in the storm they were lucky enough to find a rocky island, so that the ship could dock.
After that, they discovered a huge stone city on the island, and also discovered an arched passage deep underground.
Led by the royal family who led the team at that time, the soldiers on the ship formed an expedition team and infiltrated the stone island, and two days later the royal family returned alone, and brought the Poseidon Scepter, and said that the end of the passage was the Poseidon Staff, and he also became a mortal favored by the Poseidon, obtained the Poseidon Scepter, and was given the authority to rule the four seas of the Velonid world.
This legend is almost a household name in the Kingdom of England, especially in recent years, the parliament has gradually taken power, and the royal family has become the mascot of the kingdom, and the power has fallen, which makes some people in the royal family very unwilling, so some princes have sent literati to write some dramas and dramas about the royal family obtaining the authority of the sea god in order to show their orthodox identity.
Especially in recent years, after the royal family obtained the Poseidon Scepter, they formed a fleet to miraculously sail safely on the sea during the sea storm, which proved in disguise that the royal family was indeed favored by the Poseidon, which also made related and drama more popular.
And now what Heel Bundy said is similar to the legend of the royal family, and the pirate ship that Heel Bundy is on has also encountered a storm at sea, and they have also found a huge stone island, and docked at the edge of the island to escape the storm.
At that time, the people on the pirate ship also thought that this island might be the legendary island of the royal family, because they also discovered a huge stone city, so the pirate leader, who was delusional about gaining the favor of the sea god, led a team of men into the depths of the stone island to find the legendary arched passage to the underground.
Heel Bondi was not chosen by the pirate leader at the time, he stayed on the ship, and not long after the pirate leader entered the depths of the island, the first mate who stayed on the ship led the rest of the men into the stone city in search of something valuable.
However, no matter how much they searched, the stone houses they found were empty, not even a piece of furniture, except for the heel of Bundy, who stumbled upon a few well-preserved coins in a room.
Just as they were about to continue to expand the search area, the island under their feet began to tremble violently, and everyone fled back to the ship in panic, and then they saw the island slowly sinking, and it didn't take long for it to sink completely into the sea, and the pirate leader and others who had gone deep into the island before also sank into the sea with the island.
Everyone on board was terrified, and the storm outside had lost the island's shelter and the pirate ship was shrouded again, and the people on board had no choice but to tie themselves to the mast and barrels, and pray that the ship would survive the storm.
As a result, the pirate ship could not withstand the storm at all, and soon under the crash of the storm and the waves, everyone fell into the sea, and Bundy, who was knocked unconscious by a piece of broken wood at that time, and when he woke up, he was lying on the beach of a supply island on the outskirts of the Ingage Islands.
After all this experience, Bundy had no intention of returning to the sea, and on the way back to Joshshire, he took the old-looking coins he found in Stone Giant City to a reliable pawn shop.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the coin he found turned out to be a coin from the First Dynasty of France, and it was also a commemorative gold coin specially issued to commemorate the birth of the crown prince and only for nobles, but it was a pity that his coin was already in the late stage of the First Dynasty when it was made, and the production technology and materials could not be compared with the strong period of the First Dynasty, and the value was greatly reduced.
However, even the greatly discounted value is definitely beyond Bundy's expectations, and it is because of this money that he can become the captain of the current Lucky Star.
"Are you telling the truth? Have you really been to that city made of countless boulders?" asked Willis on the side after listening to Bundy's narration.
Heel Bundy lowered his head and said, "I don't know if that stone giant city is the one in the royal legend, I just know there, there...... I don't know how to describe it, but I can only really appreciate the scene after seeing it. ”
"Impossible!" Mira immediately gave her opinion, saying: "The city of gods cannot appear in the real world, I don't think the royal family of England really went to that megalithic city back then, because that city exists at all, and the reason why you say this is only because you want to buy your coins at a better price, after all, an antique coin found in the legendary stone city is far more valuable than the coin you grabbed, what do you say?"
Heel Bondi opened his mouth to refute Mira's questioning, but in the end he didn't say anything, but lowered his head and looked like he acquiesced to Mira's statement.
However, Leo didn't pay attention to Mira's reasoning, he just calmly looked at his heel Bundy and said, "Have you ever thought that the reason why you encountered those fish-man monsters one after another is because you took things that you shouldn't have taken, and those fish-man monsters are actually not Papa in the swamp at all, but from the huge city that sank into the deep sea?"
"Huh?" Leo's words immediately surprised Bundy, who was stunned by Sue, Mira, and Willis.
Although Leo's point of view is a bit abrupt, everyone around them unanimously thinks that this point of view is very likely to be true, because the legend related to Papa has been circulating in Joshshire for a long time, but even if the people in the swamp speak vividly, no one has ever seen a swamp monster like Papa in the real sense, and the situation of being able to directly face the fish-man like Heel Bundy is unprecedented.
And the most important thing is that during this time, only Heel Bondi will encounter such a thing, and other ships running on the Mines River will not encounter it, otherwise it would have spread inside Mines City, and it is impossible for Willis, as the leader of the Wolf Gang, not to know.
Heel Bundy pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, his face became unusually pale, and he had fully believed Leo's words, and he didn't care about the fear of the wolf gang, and shouted a little excitedly, "Why? Why do these monsters chase me for a few coins?"
"Maybe it looks like a few coins to you," Leo said, standing up, pointing to the fog that was already less than ten meters away from the side of the ship, "but something very important to them." ”
