Atlantis!
The moment the trident reappeared in the world, not only Ye Long felt it, but also Li Yuan in the deep sea.
A strange sense of unease enveloped Li Yuan's heart. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice instantly pierced through the ocean and covered half the earth!
"Vespa, find that thing and bring it back."
That thing?
On the other side of the continent, Vespa, who was about to infiltrate the Nine-Tailed Fox headquarters to gather intelligence, paused for a moment.
What is that thing?
Li Yuan's voice came again, "It should be, a fork."
Ah?
Fork?
Nine-Tailed Fox Headquarters.
Qin Leng and the others frowned. "A fork... Could you describe it more specifically? What kind of fork?"
On the other end, Nairasojin said helplessly, "Negotiation with this dragon is really... difficult. The only thing we can be sure of right now is that it is an Ancient Relic."
"Its specific abilities are unclear, but it is directly related to dealing with things in the sea, and it is probably golden."
A golden fork.
Sequence 012 Lord of Flesh and Blood picked up a pen and quickly drew a rough outline of a fork on the paper.
"So?"
After seeing what he drew, everyone exchanged glances. "I don't think it should be a fork like this, right?"
"At the very least, it can't be a dinner fork."
"I really can't imagine what a golden fork should look like."
"Hmm, do you think it's possible that the description of the fork is actually used to describe a dragon?"
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, the fork is actually quite big for us."
"Like a trident, or a three-pointed double-edged sword?"
"That is indeed possible."
"Didn't you say that the dragon pointed out a general location? Could you ask him to provide more specific coordinates?"
Nairasojin shook his head helplessly. "This is difficult. We can send someone to go in the direction he indicated."
"As for expecting the dragon to provide us with specific coordinates, I suggest we don't count on it."
Qin Leng pondered for a moment, "Then let's go find it in the direction he pointed out."
Asia, inside a rented room.
Meng Qing placed the trident on the table and then took out a world map. "After careful calculation, this location forms a triangle with my previous home and the place where the clouds and mist gathered, which has the most stringent stability."
Okay, just kidding. Meng Qing just rented a house in a relatively remote location.
Meng Qing looked at the trident, on one of the tips of which was a row of characters.
The characters are winding and twisting, looking like snakes crawling.
Meng Qing couldn't understand it, but he had a mobile phone translator!
He took a picture of the trident with his phone, then extracted the text from it and translated it.
Strangely, the translation software couldn't translate the text.
Meng Qing tried several different translation software programs, but the result was still the same: the word was not in the dictionary.
Seeing that direct translation didn't work, Meng Qing changed his approach and started searching for similar text online.
The process did not go smoothly.
After searching for several hours without success, Meng Qing went to the internet.
Believe it or not, once he got to the internet, he actually found text similar to the trident logo.
It was a photograph of a stone tablet with inscriptions resembling those on a trident.
This is a photo posted by an external blogger, along with a caption.
Meng Qing translated it on his phone. "My friend and I found this stone tablet somewhere in Africa."
"We found a local Mauritania guide and had him translate the text on the stone for us."
"He said it was 'Guti language,' a script that can be traced back 10,000 years. I roughly compared a few words and characters with the local guide. Below are some pictures for your reference."
"Next, I'm going to talk about what everyone is most concerned about: the contents recorded on this stone tablet."
"According to the guide, this stone tablet is quite ancient, dating back more than 10,000 years. As a result, many of the characters on the stone tablet are difficult to decipher."
"I have listed the sentences that can still be translated below in order."
"The seas were navigable then, and a powerful army marched eastward, arrogantly attacking all of Europe and even Asia."
"Outside the Pillars of Hercules lies a region called Nessos, from which the army came."
"Above Nessos, there is a kingdom with great and wondrous power, called Atlantis."
Upon reading this, Meng Qing's fingers suddenly trembled. "Atlantis?"
As he looked at the Golden Trident before him, a nameless fear suddenly gripped his heart.
"Could this be Poseidon's weapon?"
Probably not.
Meng Qing suppressed a certain stirring in his heart and continued looking at the text-image translation provided below.
The text on the stone tablet was translated, and just as Meng Qing's finger slid to the bottom of the screen, he was shocked to see a set of words!
"Atlas..."
"Atlas?"
Meng Qing looked at the text on the trident and found that the text structure of the two was almost identical.
This confirms that the inscription on the trident means Atlas.
As for Atlas...
Meng Qing opened Baidu.
"Atlas was the eldest son of Poseidon, so this trident could also be the weapon of Child of God of Poseidon."
"So the question is, what does this have to do with me?"
Moreover, putting aside the relationship, Meng Qing didn't even know what the trident was for.
Apart from the name Atlas, there was nothing else that could be extracted from the trident.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand."
On Changbai Mountain.
Persuaded by Nairasojin, Ye Long and his companion went to the top of Changbai Mountain, because the city was too conspicuous.
"You mentioned the Old Days Temple earlier, saying that the fork came from there and was the key to calamity. Someone pulled out the key. Are you referring to Francis?"
Ye Long tried to sort out his jumbled memories, then exhaled a breath of stale air and said.
"Perhaps."
Perhaps?
"Okay, then let's assume that Francis took the key and released the thing in the sea. So, theoretically speaking, if we just put that thing back in, can we reseal the thing in the sea?"
Upon hearing Nairasojin's words, Ye Long's fragmented memories suddenly reconnected.
However, this only pertains to the part concerning the Old Days Temple.
But this very thought suddenly made Ye Long feel a sense of unease.
If Francis pulled out the key to disaster, then why is the trident still in the Old Days Temple?
Did those things in the sea take the trident back?
Isn't that digging your own grave?
If I were a sea monster, and the key to the seal were pulled out, I would definitely throw it far away, to a place where no one could find it, instead of leaving it in the seal.
After all, what if someone breaks in again and puts the trident back in...
