After waiting for a while, the Conquest commander radioed, "I'm the only one now...... Gamble, we all know that the Poseidon has been in and out of the Sea of the Gods a lot over the past few decades, and it's definitely not for fun. Also, your crew doesn't always have a lot of mouths. ”

Gamble asked, "What do you mean?"

The commander said, "Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for you and your ship. The Pinocchio family has been exploring the Sea of the Gods for a long time, and one of your crew members drank too much and was talked out of by a woman. It is said that the Poseidon often goes in and out of the sea of the gods, because the Poseidon found a large number of shipwrecks in the sea of the gods, from the beginning of the maritime century to the present four or five hundred years, there are countless ships buried in the sea of the gods, and there is no shortage of pirate ships carrying treasures, during World War II and World War III, the sea bacteria of the hostile sides have made articles around the sea of the gods, and the sunken ships are countless. ”

"Long story short. ”

The commander said, "If the windless land is the place where the treasure is hidden, I promise here that we have no interest in the treasure. And you are also well aware that our ships are not capable of salvaging sunken ships. There are not many ships on the planet capable of salvaging a shipwreck here. It's just that we say it privately, and if it's because of the treasure land, I think it's still possible to let scientists enter the windless land. ”

Gamble said: "I've been very honest with myself. ”

The commander said: "We often stop boats on this voyage to collect samples and go to the island to observe the ecology. I sorted it out, if the Poseidon went in and out alone, it would take about five to six days to reach the vicinity of the windless land. And the seaman said to the woman that in five or six days he could reach the Treasure Trench. Or is the Treasure Trench not in the windless land, but nearby?"

Gamble threw the radio: "You tell him that Lao Tzu wants to kill people now." "Push open the hatch and go outside to breathe.

Fang Shi said: "Hello, I'm the deputy captain Fang Shi, and Gan Bo doesn't want to say it anymore." I promise Gamble is telling the truth...... I don't recommend the scientists to go, can you send two people who are not afraid of death to check on the situation first? They always have a better chance of surviving than the scientists...... By the way, Luke is on the ship, right? He's a good ......."

Anna knew about the grudge between Fang Shi and Luke, and covered her mouth vigorously so that she would not laugh out loud.

Zhang Ming waved his hand unhappily, Fang Shi nodded and apologized, and said, "We are very much in favor of entering the windless land, if you must enter...... I personally admire this scientist, and it is because of this spirit that human beings will explore the unknown in various ways. You'd better convince the scientist that the stakes are really high. ”

The commander said, "Okay, please stop the ship for the time being, I have a meeting here, and I will inform us of the final decision as soon as possible." ”

"Okay. Fang Shi said to Lei Lei: "Stop the boat." ”

The boat stopped, and Gamble stuck his head into the cockpit: "Water ghost, let's take a look at the edge in the helicopter." "It's impossible not to wonder what the windless land has to offer.

......

Two helicopters from the Conquest, plus one helicopter from the Poseidon hovered over the edge of the windless land. You can see a clear edge, and the waves of the sea outside the windless land are very irregular. The water in the windless land is very smooth and close to the shape of the lake, and the two are in stark contrast. Overall, the edge of the windless land is like the coastline.

The target island is two nautical miles away, the island is about five or six square kilometers, fat cross-shaped, you can see a large area of green plants on it, and you can see and distinguish it with a telescope, which is a common plant in the temperate and subarctic zone.

Gamble put down his binoculars and asked, "What do you think?"

Fang Shidao: "Scientists are right about one thing, this area is relatively sunny, so the plants are similar to those at the same latitude. Could it be that we have a misunderstanding? The island is fine, but the sea is problematic. I want to go to the bottom of the sea and touch it. ”

Gamble said: "Absolutely no crossing the line." ”

"Well, I'll just look at the edge. ”

......

Fang Shi returned to the boat after diving for more than an hour, bringing a piece of bronze, a very corroded bronze vessel by the sea.

The bronze was only the size of a palm, apparently part of something.

Zhang Ming said: "At the beginning of the Maritime Century, it was impossible for ships to use bronze. It's like bronze. You say, could this be a bronze before the collapse of the Southern Hemisphere in antiquity?"

Fang Shi said: "Although I didn't go to a serious university, I think if I started soaking in seawater in ancient times, this bronze should have been soaked, right?"

Lei Lei said: "This is not necessarily, it depends on the hardness of the bronze and various specific circumstances. ”

Fang Shi nodded and said, "Personally, I think the Windless Land seems to be a formation, a magic array, or a domain. ”

"Think?"

Fang Shi nodded again: "I think there is energy. ”

Zhang Ming agrees: "If you turn the sky and the sea into two different situations, there must be some kind of energy. This is the case with the Sea of the Gods. "The Sea of the Gods is different from the ordinary Sea, and the Sea of the Windless Land is even more peculiar compared to the Sea of the Gods.

Fang Shi: "Huang Ye said that the sea area of the gods is a special area formed by the energy of the channel, which probably means that the passage of the other world passes through the sky above the sea area of the gods and becomes the sea area of the gods. ”

"Huang Ye can say such ethereal words, it seems that this person is not reliable. Zhang Ming came to a conclusion very arbitrarily: "Looking at it now, it seems to have something to do with the goddess and the ancient period." ”

"There's scientific equipment on board the Conquest, and if we send this bronze over, they should be able to tell us how long the bronze has been soaked in seawater," Gamble said. ”

Anna said, "I'll go." ”

Gamble nodded: "Looking at the attitude of the Conquest, they must explore the windless land, and at least once on the island." Since we can't stop it, we will find a way to provide them with more information. ”

"Understood. Fang Shi and Zhang Ming replied.

Gamble added: "There is one premise, don't put yourself in it. ”

"Understood. ”

......

The bronze piece was delivered to the Conquest, and after another three hours, the Conquest asked Gamble to move the Conquest to discuss something very important. Gamble asked Anna and Zhang Ming to take over the ship, and he went to the Conquest with Fang Shi. Bringing Fang Shi is because listening to the tone is very important, and if a decision needs to be made, Gamble wants to discuss it with Fang Shi.

In the combat conference hall on the second floor, four commanders, including Dolly, were in the queue, and all seven scientists were seated, and there was no one else. The active Commander of the Putton Family ordered the Psychic Powers of the Puton Family to guard the gate of the War Hall, and no outsiders were allowed to approach the War Hall.

This attitude made Fang Shi and Gamble feel wrong, and Fang Shi and Gamble were even ready to break through.

Commander Purton waited for everyone to sit down and asked, "I hope that this meeting will be based on the premise of candor...... First of all, let me ask you, where did this stuff come from?"

Fang Shi said: "At the edge of the windless land, under the deep sea, there is a reef about fifty meters away...... I carried a metal sensor in the water, and that's what we did. The bronze was dug out of the sand beneath the reef. ”

"Sell Dr. Meng. The commander said.

A man with glasses in his forties walked up to the projector, operated the computer, and the bronze piece salvaged by Fang Shi appeared, and the man introduced himself: "My name is Meng, I am a professor in the Department of Archaeological Research of the Fourth Branch of Union University, and I am also recognized as a world-renowned archaeologist. I won't talk about the title, I'm not showing off, I just want to tell everyone the authority of my conclusions. First of all, we have to talk about a historical case. ”

More than 300 years ago, a goddess assassinated the cardinal of the kingdom with a crossbow, and the cardinal, who was likely to be the future bishop of the Holy See, caused a huge storm...... For safety, important members of the Holy See wore an inner garment called Yar, which was no different from the normal clothing of the Holy See, except that there was an iron sheet from the back to the chest, which was also the earliest bulletproof vest. The bishop requires all dignitaries of the Holy See to wear yar for their own safety.

After more than ten years, the two sects slowly lived in harmony, and because Yar was extremely inconvenient, and the heat weapon appeared, Yar's short career came to an end.

"That is to say, Yar's clothing is a sign of high-ranking personnel of the Holy See, not only can they wear it, but they must wear it, but it is also caused by the specific background of the incompatibility of the two factions at that time. ”

After listening for more than ten minutes, Gamble asked impatiently, "What does this have to do with the bronze piece?"

Selling Meng enlarged the bronze piece, with faint notches visible on it, and selling Meng said: "This is not a bronze piece, this is the iron sheet of Yar's clothing." I came to several conclusions, the first of which was that more than 300 years ago, high-ranking members of the Holy See appeared in this vicinity. Dr. Zhang, a professor at Huaxia University, believes that the iron sheet is severely corroded, not purely seawater corrosion, but due to its age, it is impossible to draw a conclusion. The mass spectrometer has already given the result, this is not bronze, this is the iron sheet, and at the same time part of the engraving has been restored. When the pattern is so deep that it almost penetrates the iron sheet, some of the engraved patterns that are restored can certainly be part of the Holy See Rose logo. From this, I deduce that the iron sheet you found is the iron sheet of Yar's costume. ”

Fang Shi said: "It may be something else from the Holy See." ”

Selling Meng Dao: "After comparing cultural relics, the proportion of the engraved pattern and the proportion of the pattern are the same. ”

Commander Pupton: "Thank you for selling Dr. Meng...... Now you know why I'm summoning you, it's clear that someone from the Holy See has been here three hundred years ago, and we have always thought that the Holy See has never been in or out of the Sea of the Gods. Let me ask you, why is the Holy See here?"

Dolly raised her finger and asked, "Could it be that this windless land has something to do with the goddess?"

Commander Purton nodded, "I'm inclined to that...... Now I would like Commander Donnell to explain. ”

Commander Donnell asked rhetorically, "Explain what?"

Commander Purton said: "Tang Er has been following the Poseidon and left the ship yesterday, I don't think it will be a coincidence, right? ”

Commander Edward said, "I think it might have something to do with the Blue Hole?"

Commander Donnell looked left and right: "Since it is a matter of the four major families, the Poseidon should not appear here." ”

Commander Purton said: "The problem is that we are now stuck in a windless land, and as the current captain of the Conquest, I don't think the Poseidon should be hidden. ”

Fang Shi had a question in his heart, Commander Puton's answer was very far-fetched.

Commander Tang Nai looked at everyone, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I only know one piece of information, Tang Er's destination is the Goddess Temple. I don't know if it has anything to do with the Windless Lands...... We have had the route map of the Poseidon for a long time, and we have found some documents that record the temple of the goddess, and the location is based on the beanflower-like archipelago where Tang Er disembarked. I don't know exactly which direction to go, where the temple of the goddess is, or what is in the windless land. At the same time, I believe that Tang Er will not know much. ”

Commander Purton transferred the chart from his computer to a large-screen projector, with a dozen square islands at the edge of the chart. "We have been on these islands, and they are not very large, and the strangest thing is that they are very similar in size and neatly arranged, so I deliberately put them on the nautical chart as a reference for sailing. ”

Commander Purton said, "Thank you...... Now that the situation is very uncertain, I personally believe what Gamble said about the fact that there is a risk in the windless land. At the same time, judging from the clues that are now in possession, the people of the Holy See have known this secret for a long time, and it is likely that they have entered the windless land. The Windy Lands should be associated with the most important goddess temple of the goddesses we believe in. From a scientist's point of view, they are very much looking forward to being able to enter a windless land. ”

Dolly asked, "Just say what you mean?" ”

Commander Putton nodded: "I need a death squad, a twelve-member death squad formed by the four major families, divided into two groups: response and pathfinder. ”

A simulated chart appeared on the big screen, and Commander Purton said: "The pathfinder team will land on this medium-sized island to conduct a comprehensive search, and the response team will cruise nearby, and maintain some contact with the pathfinder team as much as possible." Both groups were armed with flare guns, and we conducted a comprehensive survey around the island, which was expected to take four days if all went well. ”

Commander Purton said, "I will let the Purton family abilities draw lots to select two people to participate in the mission with me, and if no one is in doubt, I am willing to serve as the leader of the pathfinder group." By the way, I'm a goddess guardian knight. As a guardian knight, I can't tolerate the fact that the Holy See has a head start on the Temple of the Goddess, so even if I die, I must go. ”

There was silence, everyone mainly looked at Dolly, the Pinocchio family was the leader of the four major families, and Dolly's status was on par with the patriarch Xin Hai. Dolly said after a long time: "I was supposed to go to explore the way as the team leader, but ...... I agree, and I'll draw three Pinocchio Abilities to join the mission as well. ”

The other two families agreed, but no one was the leader of the cruising group.

Dolly said: "It's not that I don't want to take it, none of our four families have similar talents, and the leader of the receiving team must be familiar with water patterns, good at boating, and have an incomparable understanding of the sea." The more important thing for the receiving team is to give early warning, and once it finds that something is wrong, it must send a signal to ask the pathfinder team to retreat. She probably understood why Commander Purton had invited someone from the Poseidon to the meeting, and that no one with any supernatural ability could surpass someone from the Poseidon in terms of familiarity with the sea.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Commander Purton said, "Captain Gamble, can you send a seaman to accompany us into the windless land?"
