"Ga! That's impossible! "
This was a tall building in the harbor of the Emerald Dragon City, known as the 'Ocean Research Station.' At the top of the building, a group of Emerald Dragons were gathered together for a meeting.
Although this' Research Station 'was said to be researching the ocean, it was also doing a lot of other research. Recently, they were researching whether stars would fall. How to build a ship with non-wood materials? Where was the end of the world? The difference between electric dwarves and skeletal dwarves? Should seaweed meat be seasoned with salty or sweet seasoning?
Especially the last one, the discussion was particularly intense.
However, the main purpose of this research station was to use a small dinosaur called a 'messenger' to maintain contact with the ships on the ocean. This dinosaur could fly and had a strong ability to determine direction. Not only could they fly back from the distant sea, but they could also use the ship as a nest and fly out from here to find a moving ship.
The reason was unknown.
Because of this creature, the Emerald Dragons could maintain contact with all the ships. They had just received a shocking piece of news. The ship of 'Black Pepper Explorer' had been destroyed by a disaster?
This news was hard for them to accept, so the Emerald Dragons here had to give up their previous research and devote all their attention to this problem.
When the Emerald Dragons began to sail, many Emerald Dragons tried to build their own ships. However, most of the ships built by other Emerald Dragons could not go too far from the mainland due to their shape and other problems. Only a few ships built under the guidance of Susumi could reach farther places.
Many Emerald Dragons would lose their way because of direction and thus lose track of them at sea.
Black Pepper not only built a ship with a reasonable structure that was suitable for long voyages. It also invented a way to observe the stars to determine the direction. Its ship was also the ship that reached the farthest place.
Black Pepper's ship was mainly built with specially collected fragments of the Hometree. It was more than 40 meters long and about 15 meters wide. It could carry hundreds of Emerald Dragons and a lot of goods. It mainly used sails to move. Its reasonable shape allowed it to drift on the sea for a long time. It was named 'Dream'.
Black Pepper used this ship to expand the territory of the Emerald Dragon Country. Every time Black Pepper brought back news of a new island, many Emerald Dragons would cheer.
Now. It could be said that all the Emerald Dragons in the city were paying attention to its journey. Some of the dragons in the research station even printed Black Pepper's travel information on stone slabs and sold it for a lot of crystals.
Then Black Pepper suddenly died.
This kind of thing was unacceptable!
"It mentioned a thick fog in it." On the conference stage, the leader of the Emerald Dragons said, "Then, all the dragons inside died."
"They must have been killed by some kind of monster!" Another dragon said, "What should we do now? That way, our income will decrease by a lot! "
After discovering that it was profitable to sell information, the research station often sold navigation information of various ships, but Black Pepper still sold the most.
"We don't need to explain. We just need to fabricate the black pepper's voyage and continue to sell it," said the third dragon. "This way, we can guarantee our income, and no other dragon will suspect us!"
"But the King is also very concerned about this black pepper's journey" the first dragon said: "If he comes here to investigate, he might discover that something is amiss"
"Then what should we do? Don't tell me that if we announce that the Black Pepper Army is completely wiped out, then what about our income? "
"Compared to income, you should pay attention to the king. It seems to have a problem with us recently. It keeps saying that we are researching some strange things! "
"Then don't study sweet and salty all day long!" "But salty tastes better!" "What did you say? It's obviously sweet! "
The Emerald Dragons in the conference room started quarreling. Seeing this, the leader of the Emerald Dragons stomped on the ground and shouted, "Ga! All of you, shut up! I want accurate information about Black Pepper! I don't know what's wrong with it. What happened in the fog … "
"Ga!" Suddenly, an Emerald Dragon rushed through the conference room door and shouted, "There's fog on the sea!"
"Fog?" All the Emerald Dragons present were shocked. The leader of the Emerald Dragons was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said, "Fog on the sea is very common. What's so strange about it?"
"But …" The Emerald Dragon panted and said, "Many ships on the sea were attacked!"
"Ga?"
…
"This … What's going on?" The Emerald Dragons in the research station came to the port. The port of the Emerald Dragons was built with tall city walls, and below the city walls was the sea. There were many exits under the city walls, and many shipbuilding facilities were directly connected to the sea. The Emerald Dragons stood on the city walls and looked down, seeing a large number of wooden pieces floating on the sea.
It was obvious that they were the wreckage of ships.
The sea dozens of meters away was shrouded in a thick fog, and nothing could be seen clearly. A large number of Emerald Dragons stayed on the city walls and watched the situation outside. They also wanted to know what was going on.
"After the fog rose, wreckage kept floating out of the thick fog," the Emerald Dragon said. The Emerald Dragon from before said, "Also, there will be loud sounds in the fog. There will also be the sound of ships breaking."
"Could the monster that killed Black Pepper have come here?" an Emerald Dragon in the research station asked.
"How is that possible?" The leader of the research station said, "That place is very far away from us, but we were indeed attacked. Where are the soldiers guarding the place? Call them over! "
"Ga!" The Emerald Dragon ran back quickly.
The city walls were mainly to prevent Humerus Dragons from sneaking attacks on the sea. However, Humerus Dragons did not go into the sea, so there were no dragons guarding the place after a long time.
Boom! The sudden sound from the fog shocked the Emerald Dragons on the city walls. They looked into the distance and saw a large number of wreckage floating out of the thick fog …
The leader said, "The Humerus Dragons might be attacking us. Hurry up and blow the horn to get all the ships near the shore to return! I thought they had all run into the depths of the forest. I can't believe they attacked here … "
"Ga!" An Emerald Dragon in a research station immediately ran to a tall tower on the city wall. There was a horn made of a Horned Dragon's horn on the tower.
"Buzz —"
The low sound of the horn was heard from the port, and the echoing sound spread throughout the nearby sea.
In the thick fog, a few huge shadows could be seen.
"We're finally back … We shouldn't have suffered much damage now. Next, we can use the weapons on the city wall …" The leader heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the shadows. However, he soon became confused. "Wait … That's not our ship!"
The ships that appeared from the fog … They were all reflecting silver light. Floating astronomy.
