Seeing this, the White Walkers blinked.

So, nothing happened?

Qin Leng put down the trident. "Relax, White Walker. He didn't do anything to it. You're being a bit too tense."

Meng Qing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this!

That's right!

He wanted to hand over the Golden Trident as soon as possible, but both of them were suspicious!

"Then, sir, may I leave now?"

Hearing Meng Qing's words, Qin Leng looked at him, "Let's go?"

"You can't leave."

Meng Qing: "..."

Well, as expected.

Qin Leng crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Tell me, where did you get this trident?"

"Would you believe me if I said I just picked it up on the street?" Meng Qing asked.

The White Walker frowned. "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise..."

Qin Leng reached out and interrupted the White Walker, "Stop, you said you picked it up on the road, can you provide the specific location and what happened?"

Meng Qing sighed.

He didn't even need to hide it; he really just picked it up casually.

Meng Qing recounted the whole story to Qin Leng.

"The trident fell from the sky and landed right in front of you."

"That's right."

Meng Qing nodded repeatedly.

Qin Leng pondered for a moment, "Let's set aside why the trident appeared in front of you, do you know what it is?"

"I..."

"Speak boldly, it doesn't matter. Whether you tell the truth or a lie, we won't let you go."

Meng Qing: "6".

"I don't know anything else, but I do know that this trident might be related to Atlas."

Atlas...

Child of God?

Qin Leng reached out and stroked the Golden Trident. "To know this information means you've really studied it carefully. Why don't you elaborate on your findings?"

Just then, the priest suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Chief Qin, let me ask."

The priest approached Meng Qing and said, "Child, don't rush, speak slowly. The Lord will forgive all your sins. Oops, sorry, I mispronounced my line."

"Child, we will not wrong any good person. We just hope you can provide us with some information."

For some reason, the moment Meng Qing saw the priest, he suddenly felt a strange sense of peace and tranquility.

He even felt a desire to confide in the other person.

Based on this sentiment, Meng Qing expressed his guess.

"There is a string of words on this trident. These words are in the Guti language. I translated them from information posted by a blogger on the internet."

"The inscription on the trident is Atlas, the Son of Poseidon in ancient Greek mythology."

"And in the information posted by that foreign blogger, I also saw some information about Atlantis."

"Atlantis existed many years ago and possessed a power that transcended time."

"The army of Atlantis marched eastward, arrogantly attacking all of Europe and even Asia. In the end, Atlantis was swallowed up by earthquakes and floods, becoming a place that ships could not reach."

The priest looked into Meng Qing's eyes. "Do you believe that Atlantis really existed?"

Meng Qing paused for a moment, "I think it should be..."

The priest nodded. "So, if Atlantis exists, where do you think it should be now?"

Meng Qing had previously consulted a map, and at that time he had already discovered some clues.

"Legend has it that Atlantis was outside the Pillars of Hercules."

"And I found the Pillars of Hercules."

Where?

"The Strait of Gibraltar is the Pillars of Hercules."

"Are you sure?"

"That should be it."

Strait of Gibraltar?

As Meng Qing spoke, he took out his phone and showed two photos to everyone.

"On a world map from more than 10,000 years ago, there was a pillar that served as a bridge connecting two continents, and it still exists today."

"It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the North Atlantic Ocean on the other."

The priest looked at the map he was given and fell into deep thought. "If this is the Pillars of Hercules, then where is Atlantis?"

"In many stories, Atlantis is an island that was sank into the deep sea by floods and earthquakes."

"And indeed, humans have discovered many relics of ancient civilizations in the North Pacific. So are you saying that Atlantis sank in the North Pacific?"

Meng Qing shook his head repeatedly.

"No, not the North Pacific, that's not a place ships can't reach!"

"In Plato's stories, it is mentioned that the oceans were navigable back then, and if it were the North Pacific Ocean, it would still be navigable today!"

"Moreover, in the materials I've reviewed, there's never been any mention of an island or a sinking. It's just that many people have fabricated stories that describe Atlantis as an island!"

"The only one that is mentioned repeatedly is that Atlantis is on a Nessos."

"While Nessos means island, it also implies being surrounded by wetlands, reminiscent of the water towns of southern China!"

Qin Leng looked at Meng Qing and said, "I've thought of a place for this, but I'd like to hear your thoughts first."

"Where do you think this Nessos they're talking about is?"

"Africa."

"The Sahara Desert."

Meng Qing answered decisively.

If the Strait of Gibraltar is the Pillars of Hercules, then Africa could indeed be the location of Atlantis.

However, this alone is not enough to prove anything.

Qin Leng turned on the large screen next to him and displayed a satellite image of Africa to everyone.

"Your speculation coincides somewhat with my assumptions."

"In the Sahara Desert, there is an Eye of the Sahara. From satellite images, it looks like a huge disc with regular, nested rings."

Qin Leng suddenly laughed as he spoke, "Moreover, besides that, we also discovered something quite interesting."

"Mauritania is a country in the Eye of the Sahara of Africa."

"They once had a king who was the richest man in the world, even Augustus Caesar, who ruled Rome at its zenith, could only rank second."

"Just how rich was that king? He paved the roads with whole carpets of gold and squandered gold in a lavish manner."

"At that time, their country's gold production accounted for more than half of the world's gold production."

"In modern times, the area where their country is located has about 1,200 tons of gold that has been discovered but has not yet been mined."

"What's even more interesting is that, to this day, the people of their country can still clearly say that their first king was named Atlas."

"It just so happens to be the same name as the Son of Poseidon in mythology."

I'll be away for two days, so there will be two updates today and tomorrow.
