That Is the True Sealing Site!
No.
No, something's wrong!
Ye Long's gaze suddenly turned strange. He recalled the murals on the wall. The place where Francis pulled out the trident was not the Old Days Temple, nor even at sea.
Perhaps this doesn't prove anything.
But what about Kalen?
The fourth pirate, Pirate Kalen, has already entered the Old Days Temple and even obtained the Trident.
But he was running away!
Why run away?
Did he not know that the trident could seal monsters, or did he not know how to put it back in?
This assumption is impossible; Kalen found the Island of the Other Shore by reading his grandfather Francis's notes.
How could he not know about the information regarding the calamity and the sealing key?
In fact, that's why he came looking for the Trident.
Even under these circumstances, after obtaining the trident, he desperately ran away, not to put the trident back in a certain place.
So, there is one possibility!
That's where the key is inserted; it's not in the Old Days Temple at all!
Francis didn't draw the trident on the Island of the Other Shore at all; he drew it somewhere else!
However, the text also states that Francis visited the Old Days Temple once.
Ye Long felt that his purpose in going there was to remove the curse from his body, rather than to pull out the trident there.
As mentioned in the story text, Francis was cursed after pulling out the key.
This shows that he did not die after pulling out the key.
After the trident was pulled out, the monsters took it to the temple and sealed it away. Francis wanted to retrieve the trident to reseal the monsters and lift his own curse.
That was the last time, so he must have failed.
His descendant, Kalen, inherited his last wish and went to the Old Days Temple again, successfully taking the trident!
But he did not make it out of the temple alive.
If that's the case, then the clues match up!
The Old Days Temple was the cage that guarded the trident.
But if that's the case, then where is the real sealed location?
Ye Long couldn't recall any relevant information.
No, it should be that in his known memories, there was no information about the actual sealed location at all!
Thinking about this, Ye Long reconsidered and told Nairasojin about it.
Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox.
A group of researchers slammed their fists on the table. "What happened again? We just found a clue to the Island of the Other Shore, and now it's telling us that the sealed place isn't in the Old Days Temple!"
"If it's not in the Old Days Temple, then where is it?"
"It doesn't even know what kind of international joke this is!"
Is it making a fool of us?
Seeing the agitated researchers, Qin Leng cleared his throat twice. "Please calm down, everyone. At least we've found a clue for now."
"The fork is a Golden Trident, the key to sealing away calamity, and the place of the seal is not on the Island of the Other Shore."
The priest listened to this clue and pondered for a moment. "Sir, have you heard of a myth about Atlantis?"
Qin Leng looked at the priest and asked, "You're saying this has something to do with Greek mythology?"
"There's no harm in making bold guesses, is there?"
The priest smiled and said, "Now that Outer Gods and dragons have come, it proves that there is nothing this world cannot do, only things we cannot imagine."
"Continue," Qin Leng said, pouring himself a cup of tea and sitting down in a chair.
The priest stood up. "If we're talking about mythology, that's not very accurate. So let's talk about history. Atlantis is not a myth."
"It is possible that such a civilization existed more than 10,000 years ago."
"Let's sort out our thoughts from the beginning."
"The dragon said it had visited Old Days Temple, where a man holding Golden Trident stood."
"What do you think this proves?"
"Does that mean that person sealed the monster in the sea?" the Lord of Flesh and Blood said.
The priest nodded. "I also tend to agree with this hypothesis. So, who is the person wielding the Golden Trident?"
"I think it's quite similar to Poseidon in Greek mythology."
"If this hypothesis is true, then the real sealed land should be connected with the Poseidon."
"Question: What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of something related to Poseidon?"
"... Atlantis," Qin Leng murmured to himself.
The priest nodded. "Yes, it is Atlantis."
"Then the story becomes quite clear: those things in the sea were sealed by the sea god, and the trident was used as the key to the seal."
"Until one day, a man pulled out the trident and released the monsters. The monsters, fearing that someone was sealing them, took the trident back to the old god's temple to guard it."
"So the real place of the seal that we are looking for is Atlantis."
The priest's knowledge of mythology is beyond question.
However, they all knew that the monster's birth originated from that being.
But a long time ago, one of them had proposed another hypothesis.
Perhaps that person is simply trying to bring back something that has already passed away.
It's like the decline of a dragon age, forgotten by later generations, while someone pulls the dragon from ancient times to the modern era, bringing it back into people's view.
Everything already existed, but that great one made them, made the past reappear.
If that's the case, then the priest's speculation isn't entirely without merit.
"If the legendary Atlantis really existed, it should have been found long ago."
"Isn't Atlantis in the deep sea? Humanity's exploration of the ocean is still very shallow, and there are still too many mysteries to be solved."
"The fact that humans have not found Atlantis does not mean that Atlantis does not exist."
Listening to the discussion, Qin Leng suddenly frowned, "Perhaps, Atlantis isn't even in the sea..."
"Not in the sea?"
"Isn't Atlantis supposed to be a sunken city?"
"If not in the sea, where else could it be?"
Deep in the sea, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
He had another dream, a dream about the past.
He seemed to have traced back to ancient memories, and saw a magnificent and brilliant ancient civilization, in which there was a king.
This is how their people described the king.
"Our king came from the northern mountains, wielding a Golden Trident that symbolized power. He led us to build the world's first city on Nessos."
"As long as the oceans are still navigable, our country can reach any corner of the world."
"We built the central palace with gold, silver, brass and ivory."
"Our king resides there, and beneath that palace lies a horde of lemurs capable of unleashing a great flood; it was here that our first kingdom perished."
"At the end of that war, our heartland, our homeland, Atlantis, suffered a natural disaster."
"The earth rose up, pushing our kingdom into the sky; the flood washed everything away, and after that, there was no more Nessos."
Li Yuan's dream of this place once again confirmed to him the danger that thing posed to him.
Something still remains at the ruins of an ancient kingdom called Atlantis.
The fear at sea will end once Atlas's trident is inserted.
Li Yuan slowly rose to his feet. "Temporarily abandon the bait war in Asia. All Deep One and priests, set off to find Atlantis."
