Chapter 239 Golden Country (fifth update)
With a thought, Adrian turned into a ghost and walked towards the green island.
The other half of Gaya Island, which originally belonged to Gaya Island, has now been wrapped in a sea of pure white clouds. It is a rare bright green color in this world.
More than four hundred years ago, this half of the island was swept up to an altitude of 10,000 meters by giant upwelling currents from the sea below.
After more than four hundred years of wind and rain, sun and rain.
Most of Gaya Island seems not to have suffered much damage, and the island is still a vibrant and bright green scene.
Adrian slowly landed on the branches of a giant tree, quietly observing the surroundings, and found that this place was not much different from the common uninhabited islands in the sea.
Yet this island is so common in the sea below.
Here, it is regarded as a unique treasure by the residents of Sky Island!
The reason why Sky Island residents really value it is because of the "mud earth" contained on most of the islands!
On the ten-thousand-meter sky island where almost everything is made of white clouds, land is the most precious resource.
The residents of Sky Island have been fighting for more than four hundred years in order to seize each other's land...
While thinking about it, Adrian unknowingly came to the front of an ancient ruins.
The dilapidated ornate buildings and the green moss vines climbing all over the walls show that this place has gone through quite a long time.
In addition to stone materials, gold can be seen everywhere in this city. Under the blazing sun in the sky, the huge city is shrouded in dazzling golden light.
This is an extremely quiet ancient golden old city, containing a strong historical atmosphere.
"If the historians at O'Hara saw this scene, they would be so excited that they would be speechless, right?"
Looking at the ancient city buildings ahead, an inexplicable thought arose in Adrian's mind.
Subsequently.
He then remembered a "newcomer" who had just been admitted from Gaya Island below. He stretched out his hand and gently tapped the lead-gray pocket watch casing in his arms.
"Rumi, send out the man you just put in the castle."
With a ripple, Wenbrand Kulik was released to the ground.
Adrian uses his ability to wake up Kulik.
Accompanied by a harsh cough, Kulik finally opened his eyes. At this time, his face was red, and he seemed to be particularly uncomfortable with such a high altitude.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kulik. It may be a little too high here. You should get used to it first."
Adrian frowned slightly, but he didn't take this into consideration.
Since Sky Island exists in the Baibai Sea at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the air is also very thin at such a height.
People who come to the sky island from below will also be affected a lot. In severe cases, they may even experience a significant decrease in their athletic ability.
For Adrian, the ghost body allowed him to completely ignore this "little" difficulty, and he did not notice the slightest abnormality at all.
In the original work, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates hardly showed any side effects after arriving at Sky Island, and they were almost all lively and energetic.
This also made Adrian subconsciously ignore this matter. For those civilians with ordinary physiques on the sea, Sky Island is really not a good place to go.
At least that's the case until basic adaptability is acquired.
At this moment, Adrian frowned slightly again, thinking silently in his heart.
‘If Wenbulan Kulik, who has been trained in diving for many years, behaves like this. ’
'So can those ancient history scholars in O'Hara withstand such drastic changes in a short period of time? You must know that most of those scholars are industrious people! ’
‘What’s more, Dr. Kloba is already quite old, so it will be more difficult for the elderly to adapt, right? ’
‘Don’t think about this for now. ’
However, Adrian soon realized that he was not the nanny of O'Hara's historical scholars, and sending them to Xiaokong Island was the most righteous act of kindness.
‘Besides, the small Sky Island Visalia can rise and fall freely. If the scholars in O’Hara can’t adapt, they can control the clouds to descend to the appropriate height and slowly adapt. ’
"Ahem!"
Kulik finally reacted to the drastic changes in the atmosphere. After coughing a few times, he barely returned to normal. At least from the outside, it was no big deal.
"White Ghost, where are we?"
Kulik looked around in disbelief. His voice sounded a little excited and a little hoarse.
"Is this the Golden Land? Or is it Gaya Island?" Adrian threw out a few nouns at random, "I'm not sure either."
"According to legend, there once was an extremely splendid 'Glorious City' on Gaya Island called 'Sandora', which was also called the Golden City."
"However, under the erosion of a huge rising sea current, Shandola was washed up to an altitude of 10,000 meters. Some of the gold and silver treasures that originally belonged to Shandola were left on the site of the original Gaya Island, thus forming the 'Golden Country'!"
"Here, here..."
Kulik no longer cared about politeness at this time, left Adrian behind, looked around, and added at the same time.
"More than four hundred years ago, my ancestor Wenbrand Rolando accidentally came to Gaya Island to escape a storm, discovered this legendary 'golden land', and recorded its existence in the story. Spread around the world ”
"However, when the ancestors returned to Gaya Island, they found that the location that was originally the 'Golden Land' had mysteriously disappeared, and the original friends also disappeared along with the half of Gaya Island."
"Here! This is the original golden land!!"
Kulik knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and kept wailing.
"Vinbrand Rolando is not a deceitful talker!"
"My ancestor was a true explorer and a great botanist!"
"He once saved the lives of most of the people on Gaya Island! Why was he sentenced to death by the king at that time!!"
Kulik's cries seemed to be apologizing for his ancestors' injustice, and he also seemed to be venting the misery and sadness that had accumulated in his heart over the years.
At the same time, Adrian's task panel heard a notification that the task was completed.
[You have completed the mission [Golden Country]! 】
[You get 2 million experience points! 】
[You have received [Unknown Mysterious Reward] X1, do you want to claim it now? 】
Adrian glanced at Kulik, who was still crying over there, and decided not to receive the reward for the time being.
"Mr. Kulik, I know you are excited, but now, besides us, there seems to be a rather unfriendly 'aboriginal' on this island."
Adrian raised his eyes to look at the direction of the golden clock, and in the domineering aura that predicted the future, a huge snake figure came from the scene.
Thanks to "Dream Xiang Fusheng" for the 100 starting coin reward!
Thanks to "Wang Nao'er" and "Book Friends 20200923164436916" for the 500 starting coin reward!
