Chapter 10: The Discussion of the Three-Headed Dragon
Four people are seated. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Uncle Ao spoke first. After all, he was the one who made the three of them run halfway around the world to find him.
"I'm calling you here because we discovered it some time ago in the people in charge of smuggling tobacco from South America. Uncle Ao pulled out a black-and-white photo.
"Smuggling?" Lily frowned.
"Our Blue Dragon is not as generous as those guys in the Red Dragon, but we have to have some means to make a living, so we formed the Green Dragon Gang and did some smuggling in private. Uncle Ao said with a smile, "We have a history of hundreds of years in this business. ”
"I really didn't expect us to cooperate with the gang this time, but I've also worked with warlords, not to mention that this gang belongs to the Blue Dragon clan, so it seems to be a lot more reliable. Matt said with a smile as he calmed Lily, who was about to get angry.
The next episode ended without a hitch. Serious matters.
Van Helsing and the others hurriedly leaned over to look at the photo, this is a blurry photo, the photo is a picture on the sea, in front of the photo is a sea area covered with dark clouds and fog, from the blurred state of the photo, a huge black shadow hidden in the fog can be faintly seen. It looks vaguely like an island.
"Is this an island?" Van Helsing guessed.
Take the map. Uncle Ao ordered his men to take out the map, and he spread it flat on the table in front of them.
"You see, this is Midway in the Hawaiian Islands. And this is Wake Island. Uncle Ao continued, "My subordinates found this one in the sea between these two islands and took this picture. ”
"But there are no islands between these two islands?" said Matt, looking at the map, "Could it be that this island grew out of thin air?" Matt asked with some doubts.
"You're a clever kid and get to the point. Yes, there are no islands here, and I only believed it after listening to the reports of my men. At that time, after buying tobacco from South America, our group was on our way back with the goods, and we rented the hold of a passenger ship to load our goods, but we did not expect that the passenger ship would go to this route, passing through the waters between the two islands. Uncle Ao sighed after speaking.
"And then?" Lily was intrigued by the story.
Then the island suddenly rose from the surface of the sea, and the huge waves and the fog on the island made the whole passenger ship shake violently, and lost its way in the fog, and the compass was out of order, so the ship sailed in the fog, and as he walked, suddenly the captain found that they could already see the island in front of them, and the island loomed in the fog, and a huge palace could be vaguely seen on the island. However, with a loud bang, the hull of the ship began to shake violently! The hull made a screak of metal twisting! The propeller that was pushing the ship forward stopped spinning with a click!
Then, after a few seconds of calm, the entire passenger ship was torn into two sections with a bang without warning!
Hundreds of passengers on board rushed to the lifeboat in a panic, the whole ship was obviously about to have a big problem, but it was too late, the ship sank to the bottom of the sea as quickly as if it was pulled by something in a few seconds, and hundreds of people and goods on board were buried at the bottom of the sea. Uncle Ao said with a somewhat unbearable expression. It seems that the failure of this business has cost him a lot.
"Why do you know so much, and is there any connection to our mission?" Van Helsing asked.
"Because there was a dragon from our Blue Dragon clan on that ship, he instantly turned into a dragon at the moment of the shipwreck, and only escaped the catastrophe, and it took him nine deaths to bring us back this important photo, and we only learned the truth, and after knowing this matter, you came back here, didn't you?" Uncle Ao said with a smile.
"Alright, you've sold enough, now it's time to tell us that this time we hurriedly notified the archbishop and called the church's most elite demon hunter angel team over to investigate the cause of the shipwreck. Matt said that it seemed that he missed the days with Lily in Siberia, on the condition that it was a little harder, but at least the days were not in contention.
"Really. Uncle Ao replied, he said with a smile. "But that's just one of the reasons. “
"I'll just say that you don't care about your own interests, you won't be so anxious," Van Helsing patted Uncle Ao on the shoulder and teased, his smile was a little cheap, as far as he knew, Uncle Ao This guy is actually very stingy, if a matter does not touch his interests, even if it is a major event like the destruction of the country, he will not even pay attention to it.
"So you're really letting us go to that island?" said Matt.
"Yes, but it's not that simple. Uncle Ao continued to add, "Have you heard of the Dragon Palace?" Uncle Ao said with a mysterious face.
"Dragon Palace? Do you mean the Dragon Palace? I heard the older generation in the group mention that in the past, when the Dragon Clan was at its peak, they had to enter the Dragon Palace every once in a while to worship and participate in trials, and every year the coming-of-age ceremony of the Dragon Clan youth would be held in the Dragon Palace. But hasn't the Dragon Palace been gone for hundreds of years?" Lily suddenly thought of something and said, for the word Dragon Palace, when she was a child, she had heard adults tell the story of the Dragon Palace, and the story of the dragon clan flourishing when the Dragon Palace was there.
"You're right. For you two young people, the Dragon Palace only exists in the stories you hear, but for people like me who lived through that prosperous era, the Dragon Palace is the symbol of the Dragon Family. Uncle Ao remembered the passionate years of his youth and said excitedly.
"It's just a pity, because of a disaster that year, the Dragon Palace disappeared without warning, and it hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. And the location where the Dragon Palace used to be is here!" Uncle Ao said vigorously as he pointed to the empty sea area between Midway Island and Will Island.
"This is this mission, investigate the Dragon Palace?" Van Helsing heard Uncle Ao's words and thought for a while.
"That's right, this time I just asked you to investigate, and I can't be sure that the island is the Dragon Palace, but when the ship sank, I heard the description of the person who escaped death and the defense mechanism of the Dragon Palace is very similar, so this time I want you to investigate first, if it is really the Dragon Palace, I am doing my best to occupy it." Uncle Ao said.
"If it's really the Dragon Palace, it must be very dangerous up there?" said Matt with a smile.
"Of course, if it weren't for the danger, the church wouldn't have sent you, the team with the most powerful combat experience, wouldn't it?" Uncle Ao said, his tone a little provocative, "Are you afraid?"
"Why be afraid?" Matt replied with a smile, for Matt there was nothing he looked forward to more than the adventure of a lifetime of death, otherwise he wouldn't have been a close friend of someone like Van Helsing, who was often born and died, would he?
"Well, then, I wish you a triumphant." After the introduction, Uncle Ao looked at Van Helsing and his party firmly.
"So, my parents went to the Dragon Palace?" said the countess.
Uncle Ao nodded, "Do you still want to listen to it?" The following incident is exactly how your parents were killed. “
"Siha. The Countess took a deep breath.
"Go on. ”
