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

Chapter 173 The Age of Discovery ([-])

"Before Dia married Dorian, they lived in a village outside the city. Gloria hinted that my place must be where they lived before!"

Afterwards, Rhode took Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng outside the city.

Go north out of the city and follow the path west to the sea.

The three of them were walking on the beach, Ye Qing looked at the sea while walking, it was blue and deep, and in the distance stood the huge stone statue of the king of navigation, Corus, the boat under the stone statue was like a child's toy, and the people on the boat were even smaller almost invisible.

The sound of the sea hitting the rocks echoed in my ears.

Ye Qing's heart couldn't help but rise and fall with the tide, feeling surging and awe spontaneously.

In fact, in front of the ocean, what can human beings be?

And what will they experience when they come to Nolan Continent this time?

Ye Qing had a hunch that they would gain a lot here.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at Zhuangzi where Gloria and her mother Dia used to live.

"That's right here." Rhodes didn't bring them into the Zhuangzi, but in a separate earthen house outside the Zhuangzi.

The house looked very dilapidated, surrounded by overgrown weeds, which were as tall as half a person. When the door was opened, a thick layer of dust was raised. Rhodes went in first, and Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng went in after a while. Go in and have a look. On the left is a wooden table and two stools, and on the right are the bed, fireplace, and door to the cellar.

Rhodes opened the only window to let in the afternoon sun.

"Just stay here, I'll go to the cellar first."

When Rhodes went to the cellar, Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng had already started to look for the nautical chart. The room was simple, no matter the furniture, the walls, or the floor, they searched carefully, but there was still no trace of the nautical chart.

As usual, Gloria wouldn't put something so important where it would be easy to find.

Where did the nautical charts go?
Is it a map drawn on parchment, or is it engraved on something?
Unable to find the nautical chart, Rhodes was more sad than Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng, even depressed.

Ye Qing sat at the door, watching Rhodes continue to check and search, and Hu Yingfeng went out.

A few minutes later, Hu Yingfeng's voice came from outside the house.

"Come and see."

Ye Qing and Rhodes went to the back of the house, and Hu Yingfeng was standing beside a dry well.

"Is there something down there?" Ye Qing walked over, lay down on the edge of the well, took a look, and shouted: "Hey——"

Ye Qing's hearing is different from that of ordinary people. According to the echo, she can feel that the space in the well should not be just the spot in front of her eyes.

"Have you brought a candle?" Hu Yingfeng asked.

"I have." Rhodes took out the candle, looked at the dark bottom of the well, and then at the two of them: "I'm afraid the candle won't work, I'll find a torch first, you wait for me."

Rhodes went to Zhuangzi to borrow a torch, leaving Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng alone.

"Did you go down and see?"

"This location." Hu Yingfeng walked to a place one meter away from the dry well, stomped her feet, and continued: "There is a small room made of stones, and there are many things in it. Among them, there is a wooden doll whose appearance subverts my imagination. Here It should be Gloria's secret base."

"She is quite smart." Ye Qing praised: "The mother and daughter don't live here often. If something is stored in the house, no matter how well it is hidden, there is a possibility that it will be discovered. If it is placed in this dry well, especially There is a human skeleton at the bottom of the well, who can go down the well after eating enough?"

"I heard from Rhodes that Gloria is not only a living map of the sea, but also a very powerful warrior. I really look forward to meeting her."

With a piece of hay in her mouth, Hu Yingfeng said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing Bario, the big devil, he's very good at cutting beards and bullying."

After a while, Rhodes came back, and the three went down to the dry well.

On the side of the dry well, there was a small hole, Rhodes got into it first, Ye Qing handed over the torch, and he quickly told them to go in.

After entering, Ye Qing realized that even if someone jumped into the dry well, if they didn't know there was room inside, they might not be able to find the hole, after all, the bottom of the well is too dark.

Enter the stone chamber, which is like a small library.

In the Nolan Continent, parchment can be considered a luxury. Except for bachelors, it is basically only used by the royal family and nobles. Because the craftsmanship is complicated and expensive, few commoners will use it. The function of parchment is writing. Commoners can't even read, and they don't even need parchment.

In the stone room, there were many notes written on parchment. Ye Qing flipped through them. They contained information about navigation, such as ocean currents, wind direction, climate, etc. Gloria, in order to find her father or realize her dream, It took a lot of energy.

In order to come here to study and research, Gloria found a way to dig a tunnel in the room of Dowling Tavern.

After flipping through all the materials, Ye Qing's eyes stopped on a page in the notebook, which contained a piece of parchment folded in half.

The parchment was folded twice, and when she opened it, a nautical chart appeared in front of her.

"Look, is it this?"

"...This is Stewart Island, this is Rose Bay...Oh, this is Rose Bay!" Rhodes was so excited that he even trembled: "It must be this nautical chart!"

Rhodes took the picture and looked at it carefully, but suddenly frowned: "I don't quite understand the mark on it, what does this star symbol represent? What does this circle represent?"

Having a nautical chart does not necessarily mean that the lost city can be found.

Because no one knows where the Lost City is, the location of the Lost City on the nautical chart in Rhodes' hand is just a general direction.

Even if they know the direction, they also need to know how to get there.

Markings on nautical charts are particularly important.

When Rhodes' finger pointed to a special figure, all three of them raised their heads for an instant.

"table!"

That's right, the various signs on the nautical chart have appeared under the table in Gloria's room in Dorian's Tavern, and they complement each other. Rhodes combined his nautical experience and asked several elders for advice. , Deciphered Gloria's nautical chart in a few days.

With the map in place, it's time to assemble the crew, then prepare the ship and more.

On the one hand, the four members of the crew, Ye Qing, who have no sailing experience, can only act as passengers for the time being. They can provide military support when necessary. In addition, Rhodes said that they also need gunners, sailors, Handyman and a pharmacist.

In terms of supplies, Ye Qing couldn't directly show that they were not short of money, but Rhodes said that he had a way to make money.

In order to prevent the Caballero family from making trouble again, Rhodes asked Maria and Manny to go to their grandmother's house on Missa Island, and sent them to the boat. Rhodes went back when the boat disappeared at sea level.

Early the next morning, the group of them went to Ganbo.

Gambo City - has the largest and most luxurious casino in the Nuolan Continent.
