Chapter 893: The Island
Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, the black sea was once blue and had countless lives, but it was the war of destruction at the end of the Broken Age that destroyed the cradle of life, and since then the sea has been as black as ink, and there is no more life.

After rebuilding the world and naming their new homeland "Elda", humanity once tried to explore the Black Sea, which lasted for hundreds of years, and every once in a while, after the failed generation withered, the new generation once again rekindled the desire to explore this endless sea.
But neither the initial exploration, nor the subsequent intermittent follow-up, was fruitless.
No one had even walked a hundred miles away, because this black sea was like the land of the eastern kingdom and the glaciers of the northern ice fields, completely different from normal things.
The black waters are icy and heavy, but they are not buoyant enough to navigate the waters, and even most inland rivers are silent when they reach them.
This situation becomes more obvious the deeper you go to the sea, almost all the ships are fine when they set sail, but as they walk, the sea water does not cross the waterline, and the ships are destroyed and people die.
The farthest exploration of the Black Sea was the use of dragoons, which had been in the last three or four hundred years, and ten dragoons were sent to fly about a hundred miles from the shore, and only four came back in the end.
The other six dragoons were all inexplicably mad, and even the dragon was planted into the sea, and not even a big splash was stirred.
The four dragoons who came back also fell ill, and even their flying drakes became mad and furious, and they all died not long after.
It was the last time humans explored the black sea, but they still found nothing, and more than a hundred miles from the coast, there was still only a vast black sea.
When Tian Xian said the word black sea as if he was talking about something ordinary, it really made the hearts of the envoys of all countries chill.
That sea, like the great mouth of a demon that can devour life, is a lesson that humans have paid for with their blood.
"Why, you don't believe me?"
There was silence at the scene, and the envoys' faces were nothing but astonishment and consternation, and no one could answer the question of Tianxian.
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true, I can give a coordinate, no need for ships, just dragoons flying into the black sea, and in less than half a day you can see that place. β
This time, the messengers were simply frightened, and all of them turned pale.
The great knight forced himself to compose, but his voice was still trembling: "You...... You mean in the black sea, there is land!"
Tianxian smiled slightly and replied indifferently: "A small island is not considered land. β
"You...... How do you know?"
Tian Xian glanced at the big knight, "You don't seem to be old enough to forget, I just said very clearly, this is a revelation from the gods." β
"This ...... This can't be!" said the Grand Knight through gritted teeth.
Tian Xian sneered, "Is it possible, it's not the turn of the Holy Spirit Temple to judge, you have been claiming to be the descendants of the gods for two thousand years, but the miracles have not fallen on the Holy Spirit Temple, you say...... Could it be that the gods think you are too hypocritical to be there for you? β
"You!" the great knight's angry beard stood up.
Tian Xian didn't pay any attention to him, turned to the messengers and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have gathered here to find out what happened that day and what impact it will have on your country, and now I can answer your question directly, please listen quietly." β
Even if you don't say anything, no one is talking now, not even one panting loudly.
"What happened that day was just that I was being pursued by the guards of the ruins, and there was nothing special, but then I received a revelation from the gods, everyone! In the black sea to the south, there is an island with a treasure that we humans need!
"As to where this island is, I need to keep it a secret for the time being, for just yesterday I was shocked by your suspicions and ambitions, and I do not want this revelation of God to turn into a bloody battle for the treasure, and in the near future I will announce the location of this island to every nation in due course, and until then, please be at ease. β
"And...... According to the revelation of the gods, it is a thing that only we can play a role in the whole of humanity, and it is completely worthless if a person or a certain country monopolizes it, so before I announce the position, I ask all countries not to rush to the sea, the consequences will be ...... You actually know that. β
For thousands of years, no one who explored the black sea died well.
The messengers looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes, and there seemed to be something wrong with Tianxian's words, but they couldn't completely disbelieve it.
The problem is that whether this is true or not, it means that there will be serious consequences, if it is true, then the statement of the island in the black sea, this statement alone is amazing enough, as an ancient battlefield, there is a land in the black sea that can be reached by humans, then at least it is also a monument that no one has ever set foot on, and there will definitely be countless traces of the war of the gods, its value is self-evident.
And if this is false, it means that Tian Xian has hidden some extremely important secrets, that huge creature, and strange monuments, maybe he will soon do something that everyone did not expect and shocked the world.
It has only been a few decades since the truce on the human continent, and I didn't expect it to become stormy again so soon......
"There's one more thing I want to emphasize!" Tian Xian raised his voice, "yes...... About the Elven Fruit. β
The envoys suddenly became nervous.
Now many countries have to rely on elf fruits to survive and ensure that people are not starved to death, but during this time, the garrison is outside Huoye City, and such a posture of forced confession is inevitably not very good-looking.
If all the elves are withdrawn now, I am afraid that some people will starve, or even starve to death.
"I said before that no matter which country is what, let the elves withdraw, actually...... It's all for you to play. β
Amuse...... Teasing you guys?
The envoys couldn't help but be stunned, what is this called?
Tian Xian touched his eyebrows, "I don't want to get along with hungry people, they are innocent, as for those who don't have a good relationship with me, that's another matter, and I'm just a little duke in one city and one country, and I don't dare to hold grudges against you, so ...... As long as you welcome the elves and ensure their safety and dignity, I am happy to let the elven fruit tree bloom all over the continent, so that more people do not have to go hungry. β
These few words really touched many people.
Not every country is very strong, the strong countries are only a few, the vast majority of countries have limited land and poor resources, it depends on the face of the big country, a fairy fruit tree really solves a huge problem, this sent troops to Fire Leaf City are all hard-headed, and even made the worst plans, I didn't expect that in the end, this young Grand Duke would be so generous and merciful.
Nearly half of the messengers bent down and silently bowed to the heavens.
Tianxian smiled helplessly, "Okay, I can't think of anything else for a while, anyway, after you drink these glasses of wine, go back and tell your master, now you should go back to China and recuperate, within a year I will announce the coordinates in the black sea in the south, and then you need to unite to achieve the goal, I hope that you will be stronger than now." β
Tian Xian didn't answer any questions again, and after three more glasses of wine, he turned around and left the venue.
The lion and the elven warriors surrounded the venue, and the messengers wanted to go to see Tianxian but could not move, so they had to hurriedly drink a few glasses of wine and leave.
After the envoys returned to the camp, they said everything that Tianxian had said, which shocked the monarchs and commanders of various countries.
And the number of lion and elf warriors also made everyone have to be a little more jealous of the Fire Leaf Country.
After sending away the envoys of various countries, Tianxian closed the Fire Leaf City, activated the defense array of the Hangu Tower, and no longer cared about the countries outside the city.
The garrisons of various countries outside the city stayed for about five or six days, and finally began to retreat one after another, during which there were no more disputes, although Tian Xian ensured that the elves would not withdraw, and would continue to teach humans to plant fruit trees, but everyone understood that this also showed that the choice was in the hands of Tian Xian, and if something happened, it would not be beneficial for anyone for the elves to really withdraw.
"They're finally gone......"
Tian Xianyan looked at the armies of various countries outside the city every day on the Hangu Tower, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw them begin to retreat one after another, "These guys are really not giving up, I thought they would have left a long time ago." β
"Whoever made you say something so scary, if it were me, I would certainly like to find out what the hell is going on if I have the chance. Long Si sat behind the small table behind Tian Xian, his head bowed and reviewing the documents.
Tian Xian has now moved all the government affairs to the Hangu Pagoda to deal with, and has also freed up some rooms for the officials to use, and Long Si, as the eldest sister of the internal affairs of Fire Leaf City, naturally occupies the circular room on the top floor.
"Do you think they believe it?" asked Tian Xian suddenly.
Long Si helped his glasses - Tianxian recently made a new pair of her, still looking at the document, "The ghost will believe it!"
"But they seem to believe it......" Tian Xian pointed to the retreating army outside the city, "and also withdrew." β
"You can't get anything, you can't even see anyone, of course you have to withdraw, do you want to stay here and wait for ......death," Long Si shook his head, "We said that the day we said that they stayed here and didn't leave because they were afraid of missing something, and they couldn't get what everyone could get, as long as they were appeased and let them know that they wouldn't get anything less than others, they would leave with peace of mind, and this is the case now." β
"Then the location of the island I said ......"
Ryusi finally raised his head, "Tell me, is there really that island?"
"Hmm......" Tianxian frowned and didn't answer.
Ryusi shrugged, "I've asked you so many times, and you don't say yes or no, what does this mean?"
"There should be ......," Tian Xian replied softly, which was the most certain answer in the past few days.
Ryusi's hand couldn't help but shake, "It should be...... Yes, you mean there's an island in the black sea?"
"Hmm!"
"But I'm not so sure, but when I was swimming in the sea, I seemed to feel ......"
Long Si looked at the sky for a while, his expression extremely stunned.
"You...... You just feel, and then you say what kind of human treasures, and ...... Publish the location?"
"Uh...... Of course, of course, do I say that there may be an island there, and there is nothing on it, and everyone should listen to my nonsense?"
Long Si opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer the words......
"Okay......" Long Si moved his gaze to the official document again, "Anyway, you said it, how can you make it up in the future, it's still your business, I, the internal affairs officer, will definitely cheer for my grand duke, although I think you are a little stupid, but you will definitely do a good job." β
"So what......" Long Si finished reading one volume of official documents, went to get another volume, and turned his head slightly and was startled.
Tian Xian didn't know when he rubbed to the edge of the table, lying there, looking at himself with a savior-like gaze.
Unceremoniously pushed Tianxian's face away, and brought the official document for review, Long Si said precautionarily: "Don't expect me to help you anything, I haven't been to the black sea, and I don't have your compassion for the world, I'm just a calculating little woman, and the big man's lies still have to be thought by the man himself!"
"Hey, how do you know I need a little woman to help me figure it out?" Tian Xian clapped his hands, "Have you already thought about it?"
Long Si was so angry, he took off his glasses and glared at Tianxian: "You bastard better stay away from me, I'm very busy now, because you casually said that the city is very chaotic now, and I have to make decisions about big and small things personally, if you don't help, forget it, if you still make trouble here...... Even a courtier is a little angry, my Grand Duke!"
"I'm tired!" Tian Xian smiled and leaned over again, pouring a glass of water for Long Si, "So take a break, help me figure it out, I've been thinking about this for the past two days, but I don't have any good ideas." β
"Fourth sisterββββββ" Long Si turned his head and shouted at the central stone pillar behind him.
The sound transmission formation on the stone pillar suddenly spread the sound of the dragon's four octaves high throughout the Hangu Tower.
"There's a nasty bastard harassing me!!"
Tianxian was full of grievances, "Look...... Look, you see, if you don't want to, just say it, don't say how I know you don't want to, you see you shouting so loudly, your voice will be hoarse, drink some water...... Oh yes, the fourth girl is going to accompany the eldest lady today, and I have actually discussed it with her, and now I want to hear your opinion. β
Ling's voice came from the sound piercing array at this time, "I've put the dragon spear behind the stone pillar, you can slaughter that bastard first." (To be continued.) )
