Chapter 141: An Equal Opponent!
In a rental house.
There was a whiteboard in front of Meng Qing. Although he said he didn't know what the trident was used for, now that it was in his hands, he had to figure out all the relevant information.
"This trident must be a key prop. If I want to take the initiative in the next development, first of all, I must ensure that I have enough information."
"So, what is Nessus and what is the Pillars of Hercules?"
Meng Qing browsed the information on the Internet and finally found a map.
The most primitive world map was finally drawn by Herodotus, the father of Greek mythology, who visited various parts of the world and consulted ancient priests.
Meng Qing stared at this map for several hours, and finally he saw a noun on the easternmost edge of the map!
"The Pillars of Hercules."
It was a cylindrical plate surrounded by two oceans, connecting two pieces of land like a pillar.
And when Meng Qing slid his fingers down the Pillars of Hercules, he suddenly saw a noun below!
"Atlantis."
Meng Qing tried to compare it on the current world map, but it was too difficult to find its prototype just by simply comparing it.
It is a map that was drawn orally from people more than 10,000 years ago.
To correspond to a modern map, it is certainly possible to find similar locations, but that is just a similarity, it is not necessarily a reality.
Meng Qing looked at the whiteboard in front of him. In addition to this map, he also found a lot of relevant information.
First, Atlantis existed 11,600 years ago.
Second, Nessos means island in ancient Greek, but it also means surrounded by wetlands.
Third, Atlantis holds some powerful power that transcends time.
Fourth, the king of Atlantis came from the North Mountain and was named Atlas. He was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
Fifth, there are many Nessos around Atlantis, including more than ten kings, who rule countries with the same advanced power across the ages as Atlantis.
Sixth, Atlantis launched an arrogant war. On the day they were about to destroy ancient Athens, Zeus, the king of gods, destroyed their arrogant country with earthquakes and tsunamis.
It became a place that the 'ship' could not reach.
Meng Qing turned the pen in his hand, his brain running rapidly. He read many stories, many of which had one thing in common.
That's what they all mentioned.
“The ocean was navigable then.”
"The current Atlantis is a place that cannot be reached by 'ships'."
"But most stories say that Atlantis was an island that was swallowed up by earthquakes and tsunamis and sank to the bottom of the sea."
"But if it sank to the bottom of the sea, why is it said to be a place that ships can't reach?"
"Does it mean that the ship cannot dive?"
"Not necessarily, because as mentioned in the previous article, the ocean 'at that time' was still passable."
"The ocean at that time..."
"The boat cannot reach places..."
"Could it be that... Atlantis is actually on the ground?"
Meng Qing quickly wrote this hypothesis on the whiteboard, "If Atlantis is not in the sea at all, then people have been looking for the so-called Atlantis under the sea. How can they find it?"
"And if it's land, then the location of the Pillars of Heracles..."
Boom, boom, boom.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the rental house.
"who?"
Meng Qing tentatively shouted to the door.
"Check the water meter."
A voice answered from outside the door.
Meng Qing frowned when he heard this, subconsciously grabbed the golden trident and retreated to the window, "Why don't you check next door first?"
"The next door check is over."
After hearing this, Meng Qing opened the window without saying a word, turned over and jumped out!
He deliberately chose a second floor, and the window on the second floor faced the street, so he could escape immediately in case of an emergency!
And at the moment Meng Qing jumped down, the knocking on the door began to become more intense!
bump!
Following a loud noise, the door of the rental house was kicked open!
A man in black robes walked into the room, but there was no one in the room.
Seeing this, the man in black robe suddenly opened his mouth and let out a weird scream.
"Got you."
After saying that, the man in black robe instantly rushed to the window and jumped onto the street.
He looked in one place as if he had a direction, and at the same time, he galloped out with force under his feet.
In just a few steps, the man in black robe saw Meng Qing, who was running away with his trident in his arms!
Meng Qing also noticed the man in black robe, "This speed?!"
Either a vampire or a fishman!
It’s definitely not human anyway!
"The weird scream just now... is probably 80% likely to be from a fish-man!"
Why are they looking for me?
Is it for this trident?
Just when Meng Qing was confused, the man in black robe immediately caught up with him!
Meng Qing reacted, stopped immediately, and turned around to hold up the trident with both hands.
"Look for this again, here you go."
Vesper was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He was indeed looking for the Trident. He received the order from Neptune and also received the coordinates provided by Neptune.
But facing Meng Qing's attitude, Vesper took a step back with concern.
He was a little unsure about Meng Qing.
This person was able to escape as soon as he arrived, so he must not be an ordinary person.
"Now that he has taken the initiative to present the trident, I am afraid he wants to retreat in order to advance, first show weakness to make me relax, and then hit me by surprise. This killer move is hidden, and he is very scheming."
Vespa also often uses this trick, showing weakness to lure the enemy first, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Now facing the same situation, if it were him, how could he not be suspicious?
A safe bet is a long-term ship.
"Throw it on the ground."
Meng Qing said nothing and threw the trident on the ground with his hands.
Still retreating?
Vespa frowned, "He is retreating like this, but he is fearless. I am afraid that there is something wrong with the trident itself. I am afraid that I will be hit if I take the trident. So that's it, what a good plan!"
Meng Qing blinked, "What is he doing there?"
Meng Qing certainly didn't hide any killer moves, he just wanted to give the trident to Vespa
Because for Meng Qing, the trident is undoubtedly a hot potato, he is eager for someone to take it!
"No, I gave him the trident, why is he still looking at me, isn't he thinking about how to kill people to silence them?"
Thinking, Meng Qing carefully stretched out his foot and slowly kicked the trident to Vespa's feet.
Vespa retreated immediately after seeing this!
Ah?
What do you mean, big brother?
Aren't you here to take the trident? Go ahead and take it!
Vespa was already sweating profusely at this moment, "What a sinister boy, the task assigned to me by Lord Aquaman is not that simple."
As a legendary fishman, Vespa has been carrying out tasks of increasing difficulty since his debut.
His tasks were difficult from the beginning, and they became more and more difficult later!
How could it be simple this time?
"...I was not so nervous when I broke into the Serpent's Hand headquarters. The opponent this time is really terrible."
