Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 172 The Age of Discovery ([-])

Gloria's room is very small and can accommodate up to three single beds. There is only one bed, a table, and a wooden box under the bed containing a few clothes. There are two candles and a knife on the table. .

After all, the room was only that big. Ye Qing and the other three quickly searched the place, but unfortunately, they could not find the navigation chart that Rhodes mentioned.

"Are you sure you are here?" Hu Yingfeng leaned against the wall and watched Ye Qing and Rhodes continue to search for the map: "There is no smell of parchment here."

The two ignored Hu Yingfeng, they carefully inspected the wooden box, removed the bed board, and studied the wall with candle light, finally, Ye Qing stayed on the table.

"Perhaps, she recorded the map in other ways."

Ye Qing picked up the small knife, the blade was small and sharp, suitable for engraving, turned the heavy table upside down, and she really found something.

Although not a nautical chart, it should have some specific meaning.

"Rod, do you know what this is?"

"Oh...this..." Rhodes frowned and looked at it for a while, and finally shook his head: "I only know that this symbol represents the wind direction, I don't know what the other symbols and patterns mean, and these numbers. , I seem to have seen it somewhere, it’s such a pity, I can’t remember where I saw it now.”

Hu Yingfeng said: "We can't find the Lost City just by relying on these things that have nothing to do with us so far."

"Rhode, tell me what happened that day again, let's think together, is Gloria implying something else?"

"That day..." In front of Hu Yingfeng, Rhodes told them about Barrio catching them and then executing him: "She said that she had always liked the wooden doll I gave her, and then, she I crashed off the boat.”

"Those people didn't catch you? Did you just let you float away like this?"

"They killed other crew members and attracted sharks." Speaking of this, Rhodes buried his face in his hands.

"Then you..." Ye Qing couldn't help but think that the gift given to Rhodes by the Sea Soul should not only be the ability to improve his physical fitness, but maybe he also has other abilities.

Not only sharks, there are many creatures in the sea that will eat human flesh. Rhodes was injured at the time. Once the wound touched the sea water, even if there was only a drop of water, it would spread rapidly in the sea water. Sharks have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. How could they Let Rhodes off?

What kind of luck does Rhodes have to escape from the sharks and float to the sea where Ye Qing and others live?

At that time, the sea was full of sharks, and Gloria pushed him down. It seemed that there was not much difference between being eaten by sharks and being killed by Barrio. Anyway, the ending was death.

Unless Gloria knew that Rod would not die, he would definitely be able to survive among the sharks.

Rhodes released his hands and looked at Ye Qing: "The shark won't eat me."

"why?"

"When I was seven years old, I was pushed out of a boat. At that time, a shark swam in the sea. They drove the boat away and left me soaking in the sea. I was very scared and thought I was going to be bitten to death by the shark. I had already I have heard about the most powerful killers in the sea - sharks, killer whales, and giant squids. No matter who it is, they will definitely die if they encounter them! I don't expect the shark to let me go. I just pray that the shark can swallow me in one bite and not torture me too much. Me, but the shark, just swam around me and then he was gone.”

"After that, I always thought that sharks were very kind."

"Until Gloria and I were thrown into the sea by pirates, I saw how the shark cruelly tore Tom's arm and how it bit off Phillips' thigh. I hugged Gloria tightly and prayed for Poseidon. Protect, just like I did when I was seven years old.”

"The Sea God still takes good care of me, Gloria and I."

"Gloria said that it must be because of the shell-like thing I ate when I was young that the creatures in the sea did not hurt me. She said that thing might be a sea crystal."

"Haijing?" Ye Qing looked back at Hu Yingfeng, and there was also doubt in his eyes.

Prime Minister Shi Zhen said that the sea crystals are at the bottom of the deep sea!
"According to legend, the sea crystal contains the power of the sea god." Rhodes continued: "Many years ago, there was a sea earthquake in the sea near Ebbins. At that time, I was picking up shells washed ashore on the coast. I wanted to find pearls and take them. I went to the market to change money and accidentally found something that looked like a shell but was not a shell. It felt hard, but when I put it in my mouth, it disappeared instantly."

"How did you remember to eat it?"

"Barrio heard that I was on the shore and wanted to deal with me. He told me to swallow a piece of shell or he would beat me to death."

"It's Barrio again..."

Rod didn't want to mention anything about Barrio, saying, "That's it."

"Tell me about Gloria again, we may have missed something."

Rhodes thought for a while and then told Ye Qing and the others about Gloria: "She is like my sister..."

Gloria's father and Rhodes' father are like brothers and sisters. They set foot on the ship to find the lost city - the Conqueror, but this ship has been sailing for ten years.

Some people said that they were attacked by pirates, who robbed all the supplies on the ship and killed everyone. The ship plate with "Conqueror" engraved on it floated to Naples Island; some people said that they encountered a storm, the ship capsized, and people Dead; some said that they encountered a fog, and the fog on the sea was like a maze, with the living entering and the dead emerging; some said that they landed on an isolated island, inhabited by cannibals, who were eaten alive...

It is even said that sea monsters from the southern seas swallowed the entire ship, so no one has actually found any fragments of the conqueror.

Either way, no one says they've found the Lost City.

Perhaps they lost their way on the way back.

Or, they stayed in the Lost City to serve the Sea God in the Golden Temple.

"Gloria believes that they must have found the lost city."

Gloria is firm that her father will come back, but her mother Diya can't hold on. A woman with a daughter has to bear the burden of the family and be blamed by the family members who set foot on the Conqueror but failed to come back. The look in her eyes showed that she was too tired.

Dia married Dorian when Gloria was ten.

Gloria never complained about her mother's choice.

Remarried to Dorian, she left him with three sons, which made Dorian feel a little better about Gloria.

Compared with Dorian, the three half-brothers have done more things to Gloria's words.

"Her eldest brother Duke, while she was not at home, set fire to everything related to navigation in her house, including the navigation notes left by her father."

"The wooden doll was also burned?" Ye Qing asked.

"Oh my god!" Rhode stood up suddenly and patted himself on the head a few times: "I'm so stupid! Gloria is not talking about this at all!"
