Chapter 1004: Charts

Tian Xian can also be regarded as a foreign friend of Gustas, there is a relationship with Hongyan, and there is a last transaction, now Emperor Gustas is obviously much more polite to Tian Xian, Tian Xian is ready to listen to this old man talk about the black sea, but he took care of himself and made himself a pot of tea first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tianxian had to blink and watch, this seems to be a long story.

"When people are old, they are always thirsty before they speak. Seeing that Tianxian had been waiting there for so long, without urging for so long, Emperor Gustas smiled slightly apologetically.

"Please, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Although he said so, of course Tianxian was in a hurry, no one knew whether the Longyuan Empire would suddenly launch an attack, although the Holy Spirit Hall was a friend, but that was conditional, since he was peeking into the secrets of the black sea, then he might become an enemy at some point.

What a dangerous world...... No one can believe it.

Thinking about it messily, Emperor Gustas took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Actually, there are many legends about the black sea, we have lived by the sea for generations, and these legends have grown up with us since childhood, so ......"

"Wait......" Tianxian quickly stopped and said with a wry smile, "I want to hear it...... It's the facts, the real clues. ”

Even if you live in a mountain col, there will always be some legends of ghosts and spirits in the surrounding mountains and wastelands, and this is true everywhere, let alone next to such a legendary black sea.

Gustas must have had countless legends about the Black Sea, but now there is no time to listen to the legends, and there are millions of troops outside his house ready to fight.

Emperor Gustas smiled, "Yes, yes, the Grand Duke said that when you see that when you get old, you are easy to forget. ”

I can't cry or laugh when I'm idle, but it's easy to forget when I'm old, but this old gentleman is in good spirits, his eyes are shining, and no matter how you look at it, the older you get, the more refined you are.

Clearing his throat, Emperor Gustas thought about it this time, and said: "There are many legends about the black sea in the territory of Gustas, and no one can guarantee whether there is a real story in these legends, after all, no one has really explored the black sea, please forgive me for this." ”

Tianxian was full of hope, but after hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and he had hoped to hear something different here.

"However, there are many rumors about the existence of land in the black sea, and there is some circumstantial evidence. ”

Tianxian's eyes lit up suddenly, "Evidence! What evidence?"

Emperor Gustas smiled slightly, "Grand Duke, have you heard of the tide?"

"Tides? of course. "It's a little weird to be idle, and you have to ask people about this kind of thing.

Emperor Gustas was slightly stunned, and his expression became even more strange, "The Grand Duke is really well-informed, this kind of thing is actually known by few outsiders except us Gustas people." ”

Tianxian's heart moved slightly, and he instantly understood, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim that he was careless, and he actually said something wrong just now.

The tide is naturally not a rare thing, there is a sea tide, and it is very usual.

But that was in the original world, on Earth.

In this world, there is no sea tide!

The black sea is like an obsidian mirror, and there is not even a trace of ripples in the calm of a windless day.

The earth's seas will ebb and flow, but the black sea will always be peaceful, like a land of death.

"Although the black sea is calm and waveless, there are several tidal fluctuations every year, which is not a big deal, and it has never caused anything, and we Gustas do not have much contact with the outside world, so few outsiders know about it. ”

Saying that, Emperor Gustas sighed slightly, and seemed to be a little disappointed, "In the past thousand years, people's desire to explore the black sea has become more and more low, and we have fewer and fewer opportunities to meet outsiders......"

This is a bit helpless, and there is some regret, which makes Tianxian a little strange.

"Gustas has a long and narrow crossing, almost all of which are at the border of the black sea, and every time there is a tide, you can watch the tide from a very wide area, and when I was young, I used to travel all over the coastline and observe it myself, hehe......"

Speaking of his youth, Gustas the Great looked nostalgic.

Tianxian blinked, and found that the old man seemed to really treat himself as an outsider, and spoke casually, as if he had the meaning of pulling family routines.

"That'...... Does this tide have anything to do with the land in the sea?"

"Of course!" said Emperor Gustas's eyes, "no one has ever found land in the black sea, but the tide has brought us this message. ”

Tian Xian's heart suddenly became hot, "Found something else on land on the beach?"

Emperor Gustas shook his head, "It's in the shape of a sea tide, Grand Duke." ”

"Shape?"

"When the tide comes, the fluctuations of the tide can be observed almost all over the territory of Gustas, but in certain places, the shape and time of the tide are always different from those in other places. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Gustas took out another cup, poured a new cup of tea, and held it up to give to Tianxian.

Tianxian hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands.

Seeing this, Emperor Gustas couldn't help but smile slightly, "Grand Duke, the tide of the sea...... It's like this tea. ”

Tian Xian was stunned, looked down at his teacup, a cup of tea, there were a few unknown tea leaves floating in it, although this is the tea drunk by the emperor, but as long as he smelled it, Tian Xian knew that it was definitely not as good as the herbal tea in Fire Leaf City.

Emperor Gustas smiled, as if he was tired of speaking, and drank his tea.

Tianxian blinked his eyes, looked at his tea, and suddenly his eyes widened.

Slowly put the teacup on the table, and looked at the water surface of the teacup like a demon, and became excited for a while.

Emperor Gustas looked at Tianxian's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, knowing that he didn't need to say much.

In the water cup, a few unknown tea leaves floated there, the water surface was calm and waveless, and the tea leaves barely moved.

Gently, Tianxian blew the tea.

Sleep rippled, spreading in all directions, affecting the ripples of tea leaves suddenly changed, and the water surface was suddenly chaotic......

Tianxian raised his head, his eyes were already a little red with excitement, "You mean...... Judging from the direction and shape of the tide, there is indeed land in the sea!

Emperor Gustas stroked his beard, "The Grand Duke can turn the clouds and rain on the Human Continent, and he is really smart, you are right, after many times of verification by our ancestors, there should indeed be land in the black sea." ”

Tianxian jumped up excitedly, "Then why don't you say it!

Emperor Gustas smiled faintly, "What can I do, human beings can't even go to sea, what's the use of knowing the existence of a piece of land, and there is no precedent for this kind of thing, and all speculations can't be confirmed, no one may believe it, and it may cause unnecessary trouble." ”

I was stunned, but I didn't expect this.

"If it weren't for the Grand Duke's preconceived notions and having believed what I said, I'm afraid I'd have thought it was just a bad old man's delusion, and most of the others would think so, so this matter is not a secret in Gustas, but even if outsiders know about it, they will laugh it off, and no one will take it seriously. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Emperor Gustas smiled, "It's been hundreds of years, and this matter has not been particularly secret, but it has never been circulated outside of Gustas, and it's the first time the Grand Duke has heard of it." ”

Tianxian was secretly frightened, this kind of thing has not spread in the human continent for hundreds of years, which is also extremely bizarre.

In the past, this matter may not have been important, but now it has a different meaning, the power of the gods is awakening, and there is no good way to contain it on the human continent now, and the black sea is the ancient battlefield of the gods, and there may be some ancient secrets buried there.

Moreover, if there really is, then the crisis in Fire Leaf City can be temporarily lifted, Tian Xianzhen but some can't imagine if he can't tell the location of the land in the black sea at that time, then he has used all his strength to press on the outside of Fire Leaf City, what kind of violent thunder the Longyuan Empire and the Holy Spirit Temple will be.

"Emperor, I don't know where that land is?" asked Tian Xian excitedly.

Emperor Gustas took out a map, and when he saw this map, he couldn't help but burn his eyes, this is a map marked with the secrets of the world!

The map unfolded, and Tianxian was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

This is indeed Gustas's map, and half of the map is occupied by the black sea, which is dotted with circles and dots.

Numerous cities like human beings.

Tian looked at Emperor Gustas blankly, "These...... It's all land?"

"Not all. Gustas the Great smiled mysteriously. "After many years of observation that we have prepared, the black sea ......"

After a deliberate pause, the eyes of the old man with white hair unconsciously revealed a scorching light, "There are some creatures inside!"

"Creatures?" Tian Xian was dumbfounded.

"Look at the markers!" said Emperor Gustas, pointing to the map, "each circle represents a change in the path of a tidal wave in a piece of land, and according to the shape and size and direction, this is the position we have calculated.

There may be hundreds of large and small circles on this map! There is so much land in this black sea! Or so many islands?

"That'...... What about these forks?" Tian Xian pointed to the places where the forks were played.

This time, Gusta the Great's face glowed red, "Those represent the land that has vanished. ”

Tian Xian felt a dry hair in his mouth, and looked at Emperor Gustas and was speechless for a while.

Vanishing Land!?

How could the land disappear Tian Xian looked at Emperor Gustas the Great, whose face was full of red light, and even seemed to be a little fanatical, suddenly felt ...... Maybe it's really an old man talking nonsense.

Gustatius the Great's gaze was fully focused on the map, glowing with an unexpected heat, "Yes, gone! The places that were once marked as land are gone, and this has continued to appear for hundreds of years, and at the same time, new landmasses have continued to appear, and new ones have appeared, and so have appeared...... Do you know what that means? You know?"

Changing his calm tone with a smile on his face, Emperor Gustas spoke in a hurried tone, looking extremely excited, "Clever archduke, can you tell me what this means?"

Tian Xian looked at the map in disbelief, thinking about the words of Emperor Gustas just now, the answer was already coming out, "Could it be ...... The lands that always disappear and appear are actually some kind of creatures?"

"Yes!" said Emperor Gustas laughed, "it is that, based on our observation and calculations for so many years, there are some landmasses that frequently appear and disappear in an area, as if ...... Like a beast wandering its own territory, we are almost sure! There are creatures in the black sea, but we have never seen them. ”

Tian Xian felt that this was somewhat credible, but Emperor Gustas was full of red light, and he looked a little excited, and Tian Xian didn't know if the other party was a little too confident for a while.

"And!" said Emperor Gustas as he tapped heavily on one of the places on the map, "although most of the land is observed and speculated to be creatures of the sea, there are some places that have not changed for hundreds of years, and they should be the real land!"

It hasn't changed for hundreds of years! Tian Xian hurriedly looked at the corresponding location on the map, and sure enough, he repeatedly traced several circles with a pen there, almost turning into a black dot.

"The black sea is not as empty as humans think, there is land in it, there are living things, and there may well be more things, just like the lakes and rivers in the continent, but we humans don't know it yet. ”

Emperor Gustas gasped slightly with excitement, "As long as ...... As long as we can find a way to go to sea, as long as we can go deep into the black sea, human beings will definitely be able to change this world from now on!"

Tian Xianyan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at the excited old man, and a doubt suddenly rose in his heart.

Gently, Tianxian seemed to ask casually: "Does Gustas want to go to sea?"

"Of course!" replied Emperor Gustas categorically!

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Answering this sentence, Emperor Gustas seemed to think of something, looked up, and saw Tianxian's "so it is" eyes, and suddenly woke up, and the heat in his eyes quickly faded.

"Alas...... When people are old, they make the Grand Duke smile. Gustas the Great smiled bitterly, "We are guarding the border of the continent, with the sea as our companion, and we really can't survive without some rush." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Gustas pushed the map in front of Tian Xian with a stunned expression.

It's hard to tell how true or false this is true, but there is no doubt that Gustas, who is shrinking to the border of the human continent and has no quarrel with the world, is not without ambition, but is just waiting for the opportunity.

Maybe it's just to comfort himself, but it's more likely that Gustas must have pinned his hopes on the black sea.

It's just that I don't know how many points of this almost fanatical dream have passed since the founding of Gustas to the present.

Judging from the current situation on the human continent, it may be the best choice for Gustas to leave only the whole dream.

When I think of the uncontested scene I saw when I came to Gustas, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, free from war and calamity, and this peaceful country seemed like a paradise.

If you can go on like this, then what do you want?

Sighing slightly, Tian Xian observed the map for a while, and suddenly frowned, thinking of a ridiculous thing.

"This map...... It must be the result of hundreds of years of observation, right?"

"Not bad. "What he said just now seemed to drain a lot of energy, and Emperor Gustas looked a little tired.

"A creature that can change the shape and size of the tide...... Isn't that big?" Tian Xian looked at Gustas the Great a little blankly.

If a piece of land is in the middle of the sea, it will naturally block the current, and so will the larger islands, but if it is a living being, how big a living creature must be?

Even if it is a city-like behemoth like the bones of an ancient god, it is just a splash when thrown into the sea, and if you want to change the direction and shape of the current, it is simply so big that it is exaggerated, and it can't be said to cover the sky and the sun, just like the roaring clouds of the Moyun Mountain Range!

Looking down at the map, there are all kinds of circles and forks on the left, right, and right, and the black sea outside the Gustas Empire is simply the lair ......of the Monkey King!

Compared with the size of the map, Tian Xian frowned, according to the scale of this map, if the location is correct, then even if people can't see these places on the shore, but the dragon knight can always see it when he flies into the black sea!

There have been many times in history when dragon knights have entered the Black Sea to explore, but none of them have said they have seen anything.

The black sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the ancient wells are undisturbed! It is like a forbidden place laid by the Creator! This has never changed in the 2,000-year history of mankind.

The light in Emperor Gustas's eyes disappeared completely, he nodded silently, and said for a while: "This is also the reason why we have not announced these news to the public, because according to our observations and speculations, these things should be not very far from the coast, we can't see them, but the dragon knight who entered the black sea should see them clearly, but ......"

There is no such thing in history!

Tian Xian shouted in his heart that he was deceived, and said for a long time, these are all things that are not scored!

"But......" Emperor Gustas mused, "I don't think our observations and speculations will be wrong, after all, this is visible and tangible evidence, and there must be some reason why we don't know how to find these lands and creatures."

Sigh at the time, whether it's the evidence or the reason, no matter what, but now I'm looking for land! It's land that can be seen, touched, and boarded!

No matter how much evidence there is, it is still useless to find it!

At that time, I went back and forth in the black sea, and when I came back, I said that I found land in the sea, and announced the location in a year, and I can't control the landing at that time, but if you can't really believe that there is such a land in the black sea......

The Longyuan Empire can't do anything to itself, but the Holy Spirit Temple will definitely not give up.

Tian Xian is now beginning to suspect that the reason why the spirit officer suddenly came to Fire Leaf City may also be related to this matter, if the spirit officer also has this level of thought, then it feels terrible to think about the consequences.

After thinking about it, I can't help but be at a loss.

The Black Sea can not only solve one's own urgent needs, but if you can really find something, then what benefits you can get may not be imagined.

About the war of the gods, about the broken era, there is still too little information, the records of human beings are obviously tampered with, the end of the broken era is a carnival of destruction of corpses, the truth is deeply buried by the gods, and now if you want to fight against the power of the gods who are slowly waking up, the best way is to understand what they did to this world in the first place.

But all the roads to the truth are full of difficulties, and there is simply no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

"What else...... Is there any other evidence?" Tian Xian slowly rolled up the map and looked at Gustas the Great.

Seeing that Tianxian put away the map, obviously not wanting to discuss it anymore, Emperor Gustas smiled bitterly, "This is already the closest thing to the truth, if the Grand Duke wants to hear some legends, I can talk about it for three days and three nights." ”

Tian Xian sighed, it seems that he can't get more news this time.

Unceremoniously put the map into his arms, anyway, Tian Xian knew that there would definitely not be only one copy of this thing.

"If there is no other news, then I will take my leave, everything you have told me will become a supreme friendship to Fire Leaf City, and when I return, I will definitely return the favor. Tian Xian stood up.

Emperor Gustas waved his hand again and again, "You don't have to be polite, Gustas has never had much contact with the countries of the mainland, in fact, people don't look down on us, the Grand Duke can treat us like this, Gustas is already deeply honored, it's just ......"

Tian Xian understood, and said directly: "Great Emperor, please rest assured, no one knows everything now, and no one will notice that Fire Leaf City has any dealings with Gustas, and the war in Fire Leaf City will not burn here no matter what." ”

Emperor Gustas nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"Then I won't bother too much, the situation in Fire Leaf City is urgent, I can't stay longer, please forgive me. ”

Emperor Gustas stood up slowly, "Archduke, please come to Gustas if you need anything in the future, although we are weak, we are actually willing to make friends." ”

Tian Xian smiled, "If you don't say that I will come, after all, my sister is here, oh yes, I heard her say that you gave her a lot of titles, she can't remember it herself, in fact, she is a person who has no utilitarian intentions, these false names will only affect him, if you want your daughter-in-law to live happily, these are free, let her have no worries about food and clothing, and it is enough to be sad for the palace certificate." ”

Tianxian's words can be said to be extremely straightforward, and in the depths, he is already interfering in the internal affairs of the royal family, but Emperor Gustas doesn't care, no matter how you look at it, this grand duke just wants his sister to live a carefree life.

The war on the continent will never burn Gustas is his wish.

"Don't worry, I will naturally take care of these. ”

Tian Xian nodded, "Thank you, if you have any special needs, you can send a letter to Fire Leaf City, although the soldiers are pressing, but we are also at ease, especially in terms of money, although we speak, although our city is small, we are never short of money." ”

Emperor Gustas's eyes lit up suddenly, but he still held back his action to speak.

Tian Xian couldn't help but be secretly amused.

What did Gustas lack?

Little Ash didn't want to come to this place where the birds didn't, because the monsters they caught were thinner than other places, there were no mineral deposits, no fertile land, no geographical advantages, inconvenient transportation, and only an endless and almost void-like dangerous sea as a companion.

The reason why Gustas is like a paradise is largely because this land is not worth fighting for, which of the countries of the continent is not aiming at the fertile and vast land to attack, what are you doing when you lay down a land that is so barren that you can't harvest anything, and even kill people here?

Barren, poor.

This is the truest portrayal of Gustas, even a princess like Hongyan is usually coarse cloth clothes, although the robe on Gustas the Great is now more casual, but if it is in other countries, the fabric is naturally expensive and the workmanship is exquisite, and this piece is only a unique style, and the fabric can only be regarded as so-so.

"Speaking of which, my sister is already a mother, and I haven't sent a congratulatory gift yet, but I'm going to return to Fire Leaf City now, I'm afraid it's not easy to come again, and this matter will be Emperor Lao. ”

Emperor Gustas was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while, but his mind turned slightly, and he suddenly understood, and his face suddenly smiled.

"The Grand Duke is really a sister and brother, don't worry, I will tell you about this matter soon. ”

What is the congratulatory gift? It's very simple...... It's money!

That's a lot of money!

Emperor Gustas understood in an instant, this money was actually given to Gustas's empire, this kind of good thing must not be missed, the last transaction has allowed Gustas to complete a feat that has never been done since the founding of the country! This time it is a huge amount of money, even if it is for the sake of the people, he must agree to it.

Money has no concept at all for the current Tianxian, who only knows how much gold weighs, but he doesn't know how much a piece of gold is worth and how many things he can buy.

Tianxian only knew that there was an endless amount of gold in the desert in his backyard.

After getting this map, this time it was not considered that there was nothing to gain, and when Tianxian turned around to leave, Emperor Gustas suddenly seemed to think of something: "The Grand Duke stays!"

Tian Xian looked at him strangely, "Is there anything else going on with the Emperor?"

Emperor Gustas sat down slowly, looking a little strange, maybe the gold coin can make people's memories come alive, Gustas pondered, and said uncertainly: "There is one thing, maybe the Grand Duke can listen to it, and I am not sure if this matter will be useful to you." ”

Tian Xian smiled, the most important news was already in his arms, presumably this emperor had no ink to pour, but Tian Xian was still willing to listen to it.

You say. "Sit down in the day, and treat the elderly with the least respect.

Gustas the Great pondered, "Speaking of observing and measuring ocean tides, it has been a long time in Gustas, in fact, we have a special agency to do this, and report the results every year, hundreds of years, this is the case, this map." ”

Tian Xian smiled, "The emperor is so generous, Tian Xian is grateful, this time I will go back ......"

Emperor Gustas hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, don't think that I'm asking for money from you, although Gustas is barren and desperate for money, he doesn't make money like this." ”

Tianxian's face turned slightly red when he said this, didn't he think that this old man was hinting that he was sending more money......

"Our institution is called the Sea Viewing Hall, and there are not many people in it, but they all have something to do with our royal family, after all, this map is not something that anyone can read. ”

Emperor Gustas touched his eyebrows, and his tone began to become a little strange, "I want to say that there is a young man named "Evra", he is a member of our royal family, although he is only the last title, and his observations have been different from others over the years. “

In fact, there is a lack of interest in listening to the sky, whether it is the emperor or the young man with the title of small lord, this method of observing the tide does not seem reliable now, this is the most important thing!

Although the map is very exquisitely drawn, it turns into nonsense after a little scrutiny, is this kind of thing worth verifying?

Tian Xian really wanted this emperor to tell him some other information, but it seemed that this was just an extravagant hope.

"Hmm...... According to his observations. Gustas the Great paused for a moment, "These lands are actually very far from the coast. ”

Well?

What does this mean?

Gustas the Great continued: "Our methods of observation have been used for hundreds of years, and have been verified in many ways, but this young man does not seem to agree with it, and has drawn a map based on his observations, of course he is the only one who has done so, and at the same time has no evidence to prove his method of measurement, but ......"

Tianxian is bright in his heart, but the results of other people's calculations look more reasonable!

If all of this land is offshore, it will definitely be seen, and the only possibility is in the distance!

"Where is he!?" asked Tianxian excitedly without waiting for Emperor Gustas to finish.

"If the Grand Duke wants to see him, he can naturally meet him immediately, I just ...... It's just a matter of saying it, I hope you don't have too much hope. ”

We have to fight for a glimmer of life, let alone now.

Tian Xian immediately asked to see someone, and Emperor Gustas was not ambiguous, and he didn't need Tian Xian to look for it himself, so he directly ordered to go down.

After about half an hour, Tian Xian saw this obviously depressed young man in another side hall.

Efra was yellow and thin, and he didn't look like a royal family pampered at all, and he had a scruffy beard and messy hair, and if it weren't for the robe he was wearing, he would have looked like a beggar.

"You...... Are there different charts?"

Tianxian said a word, and Evra's eyes suddenly lit up

Make up for what you owe
