Golden Sea, Navidad Castle.
The garrison commander, Admiral Triviere, and the "Oathbreaker" Bradley, who was dressed in a general's uniform, were staring at the golden plate on the table with burning eyes.
The golden plate was exquisitely crafted with an obvious indigenous style. The outermost circle was surrounded by a large feathered snake. The second circle was filled with various astrological phenomena that even laymen could not understand. In the middle was an abstract human face with its mouth open, as if it wanted to say something.
But these two big shots were not archaeologists or scholars. They did not care about the secrets hidden within. They only cared about the golden plate, or rather, the gold itself.
Bradley's eyes flickered as he looked at the respectfully standing pirate and the scholarly old man beside him. He asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?
He asked in a deep voice, "Kellogg, are you sure this isn't the only thing in the Fog Sea? This gold is just the tip of the iceberg of a huge treasure? "
Obviously, as one of the pirate kings who had ruled the Golden Sea for more than ten years, even the Codex Keeper Edward had deprived him of the right to enter Shipwreck Bay and even denied his identity as a pirate king.
However, Bradley's tentacles in Shipwreck Bay were still deeply rooted.
"Sir, I'm very sure. In fact, everyone who participated in the Fog Sea's riot saw it.
You know, although the target of the attack has always been Shipwreck Bay, those distorted monsters came from the entire Fog Sea.
This means that somewhere in the Fog Sea, there might be a ruin full of treasures. It is very likely to be the last remnant of the Kumar Empire, the overlord civilization of the New World! "
"When Shipwreck Bay was established, it was already when the sea trade between the New World and the Old World began. At that time, the Kumar Empire had already disappeared from the mainland. No one knows where they went.
However, it wasn't entirely impossible for him to have entered this ancient sea of fog. At least from the specifications of this golden plate, the level of this ruin is extremely high!
Maybe we can even uncover the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of this civilization that far surpassed the Nimansterians in mathematics and astronomy. "
The combination of the pirate and the scholar analyzed the meaning behind the golden plate.
Although they looked at the problem from a different perspective from Elvin and the others, they came to a similar conclusion. Somewhere in the Fog Sea, there was indeed a huge treasure of the Kumar Empire!
As for why the Kumar Empire had mysteriously disappeared, and why these things had suddenly appeared today, it was not within the scope of Admiral Trivier and Pirate King Bradley's consideration.
After the rewarded pirates and scholars left in joy, Trivier looked at Bradley.
"The location is the Fog Sea, the home of the pirates. I believe that as the Pirate King, you won't disappoint His Majesty, right, Mr. Bradley?"
"Of course, Your Excellency."
Bowing slightly, the 'Oathbreaker' did not hide the ambition in his eyes. He was determined to obtain this treasure.
Hernando Cortés, who conquered the Aztec Empire, and Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Kashna Empire, were both given the title of 'Adelantado' (also known as Advance Officer) by King Hirus at the time.
They had political, military, judicial, and religious authority in the areas they occupied.
He owned a large piece of private land, monopolized trade, and did not pay any taxes. He also had the right to freely bestow land to his followers. He was like a feudal lord who ruled over a region.
If he could obtain the complete inheritance of the Kumar Empire, the significance would not be less than the previous two examples. Bradley's promise to the pirates was not just empty promises. He really wanted to establish a pirate nation in the New World from the bottom of his heart.
But it was not just to please the Blackwing God.
Because his goal was not only to become the only Pirate King in the Golden Sea, but also to become the king of a secular country!
Small kingdoms and duchies with a land area of less than 100,000 square kilometers were everywhere in the Source Continent. This goal was not too difficult to achieve in the vast New World.
Today's opportunity was the closest he was to his dream come true.
.....
In the following period of time, the treasures that were brought ashore by the demons were like a deep-water bomb thrown into the turbulent sea. It made the various factions in the New World restless.
Not only the pirates, but also the Sea Hunters who were also chasing after the treasures. The major factions in the Chaotic Region, Cabral, and even the regular armies of many kingdoms in the New World began to move.
While some were still quietly observing the changes, more people had already raised their sails and rushed to the Fog Sea.
As for why the treasures of the Kumar Empire would flow out from the territory of a great existence, as well as the possible risks behind it, they had long forgotten about it.
The only ones who appeared in front of people were his followers. For hundreds of years, they had never seen this existence leave the bottom of the sea. The barrier of the Fog Sea could prevent the navy from pursuing the pirates, but it could not stop them from thirsting for wealth.
Especially on the fifteenth day after the Fog Sea riot.
Suddenly, there was a colorful brilliance in the Fog Sea. It was not only near the Fog Sea, but also far away in the Black Sea and the Golden Sea could not be ignored.
Moreover, this brilliance that lasted for an entire day only appeared in the vision of Extraordinaires. On this day, as long as they raised their heads, they could see the straight rainbow in the sky. It had no effect on the world of ordinary people.
This meant that other than the boundless wealth of the secular world, the Fog Sea might have powerful secret treasures from the Extraordinaire World.
This also indirectly confirmed their guesses.
The ruins of the Kumar Empire in the Fog Sea had originally been sealed. Regardless of whether it was a shelter like Shipwreck Bay or simply a treasure trove, it had now been opened for some reason.
The monsters at the bottom of the sea might have unintentionally passed by the treasure trove and accidentally brought some of the items to Shipwreck Bay, which was also in the Fog Sea. Then, they were obtained by the pirates.
"Quick, set off!"
"The treasures are ours!"
"Our hope of advancing further on the path of Extraordinaires might be there."
Originally, only a small number of people knew of this secret, but now, everyone knew about it. Even the most reserved and cautious group of people were unable to sit still any longer, and they organized their forces to charge towards the Mist Ocean in a formidable array.
Of course, the Dragon Knights were no exception.
As they did not know what kind of situation they would encounter, other than the necessary personnel left behind in Port Hatrapha, the fleet had all been mobilized.
Whoosh …
Riding the wind and breaking the waves, a stretch of thick fog that stretched for several kilometers moved rapidly on the surface of the sea.
In the depths of the thick fog, in the captain's room of the Morning Star, which was the leading ship of the pirate fleet.
"Beautiful flowers, sweet nectar, attractive fruits … and the predators hidden under the leaves. Don't you feel that this scene is somewhat similar to those carnivorous plants that prey on insects?
The more bait there is, the more abnormal it is! "
Through the mental network, Elvin observed the large number of ships that were sailing in the same direction along the way, as well as the fanatical sailors on the ships. He looked at the few people beside him and said these words.
Sister Anita, Olivia, Milan, First Mate Boris, and Gary … The extraordinary powers in their hands could be said to have all been mobilized. The werewolves and sharkmen added up to a total of 34 people in the Draped Men army were also distributed throughout the fleet.
In fact, the lower-level members of the Dragon Knights Pirates were the same as the sailors from the various major factions who were rushing to the Fog Sea. They had already fallen into a fanatical state.
However, it was rare for the upper echelons to still be able to maintain their rationality and diligently search for the secrets behind this situation.
In particular, Elvin had a few golden bulls in his hands that could continuously squeeze out gold. He was not that enthusiastic about this kind of one-time treasure trove. Even if the adventurer's blood in his body was already stirring, at least he did not lose his rationality.
Hearing his words, Milan, as a "prophet" who was very sensitive to danger, nodded gently in agreement.
"If there isn't an old monster at the bottom of the Fog Sea who has lived for who knows how many years, I might believe that this is completely a coincidence. However, 'Never believe in something that has thoughts unless you know where its brain is hidden' is a maxim of the Extraordinary World.
Do you still remember my previous prophecy? The vanished kingdom will reappear here. Known throughout the sea, endless treasures or endless sins … The beginning is already very obvious.
Although I don't know how everything that happened here is related to the turning of the Spirit Tide, and I still can't decipher the prophecy after that, some kind of danger must exist.
So, according to our previous discussion, if they want to search for treasures, let them go. We just need to turn on the 'Fog Silver Lamp' and wait outside for them to come out with the treasures. Well, it doesn't matter if they don't come out. "
Elvin nodded. The words of an experienced and prudent person were exactly what he was thinking.
.....
With the help of the [Secret Treasure of the Sea — Ocean Current Horn], the pirate fleet moved very quickly.
Although they set off after the brilliance appeared, they were much later than many people. But even if they sailed against the North Belt's current, it only took them thirteen days to reach the periphery of the Fog Sea, the position closest to the brilliance.
The fog released by the 'Misty Silver Lamp' merged with the natural fog of the Misty Sea. No one thought that there was a fleet hidden in the dark.
Here, Milan performed another divination. Of course, the target was only a person or a ship in the fleet to avoid the influence of the superior existence to the greatest extent.
"In my prophecy, there should be new changes in the Fog Sea in the second fifteen days."
They were not prepared to go in, so they were very patient.
Elvin had also used the mental network to investigate, but even the spiritualized seagulls couldn't see through the situation in the Fog Sea. Even if they sent the seagulls to venture deep, they would soon disappear without a trace.
Unsurprisingly, they saw the "Oathbreaker" Bradley's "Chiseltooth", "Undead Bones" Rudolph's "Pterosaur", as well as the warships of many countries, including the Tulip Family.
It was only because there was no sign of the treasure. Although there were all kinds of people, they could still maintain restraint for the time being.
And although the major forces coveted the treasure, no one rashly rushed into the Fog Sea. Over the years, countless people who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth had used their own bones to build the fierce reputation of the Fog Sea.
The major forces with conditions used various divination methods, and most of them came to the conclusion that the second fifteen days were beneficial for exploration. The small forces that were prepared to fish in troubled waters were the best at observing people's expressions. If the major forces did not make a move, they would not make a move.
Two days passed in a flash. During this period, many ships arrived. The black mass stretched out, and the total number of people might have reached tens of thousands. It was much more than the number of people who participated in the naval battle of Benin.
However.
At noon on the second fifteen days, what they waited for was not another revelation and direction given by the ruins, but …
Whoosh —
The Fog Sea was like a giant creature that had suddenly awakened. The dense fog suddenly expanded. One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers … Until all the ships that were gathered here were swallowed by it.
Looking at the white fog that completely swallowed the entire fleet, Milan, who was originally full of confidence, was left with a dull face.
"This … is not the prophecy I wanted! Eh, why did I say 'again'? "
