"Gedi City-state? Where is that place and how do you know it?" I asked in confusion.

"My friend who is in the antique business told me that they seem to have a natural sense of smell for treasures. Even if they can't dig it themselves, they still have to inquire about information from many sources. According to him, in recent times,

For more than a hundred years, many explorers have been looking for a city-state in Africa, called the city-state of Gedi. Among them were the Arabs, the Portuguese, and the Dutch.

and the British. The reason why these people were looking for the city-state of Gedi was that they got the same news, that is, there were one hundred barrels of gold coins hidden there. There was no direct evidence that these one hundred barrels of gold coins were transported by Ibn Sultan.

Yes, but I think there should be no such coincidence in the world. They are all on the same continent, probably in similar locations, and have the same number of treasures." Asan said.

"Then has anyone finally found the so-called Gedi city-state?" I asked.

"It is said that there is not yet. There is news that the city-state of Gedi is more than 100 kilometers north of Mombasa, Cameroon, because there is a legend from there. It is said that a group of Arab pirates broke into this place more than a hundred years ago.

, the city-state carried out a large-scale plunder, with the purpose of finding the treasure of one hundred barrels of gold coins. But in the end, they failed." Asan said.

"That is to say, the city-state of Gedi only appears in legends. So, can't it be finally confirmed whether there is such a place?" I asked.

"No, boss, this place exists. Gedi was once the richest city on the east coast. The construction of Gedi City can be traced back to BC. The earliest builders were the Bantu people before the arrival of the Arabs. AD

Around 1100, the Arabs anchored off the coast of Kenya in their "Dachau"

After landing, a commercial immigration area was established here. Soon, extensive commercial relations were established between Geti and India, Persia, and Venice, making the place suddenly prosperous and possessing a large amount of spices, wood, gold, gems, and ivory.

.During the 15th to 17th centuries, the Arabs built luxurious

residences, many exquisite mosques, and huge buildings such as the Governor's Palace covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters. However, I don't know when a tribe called Gala Oromo suddenly invaded the land and gave this city-state

It brought a complete disaster, all the houses in the city were destroyed, and almost all the residents

They were all killed or forcibly expelled. After that, the prosperous city-state of Gedi disappeared and was gradually covered by the virgin forest. From then on, the richest city in East Africa disappeared into the barrier formed by green trees. In the next few hundred years

"No one seems to know where the ancient city of Gedi is." Ah San replied.

"I understand, the city-state of Gedi once existed and prospered, but now there is no trace of it. Many legends are not groundless. Since there are such stories, there must be corresponding reality as a basis. It seems that we will also need it in the future

Have you looked at the interior of Africa, right, Xiao Ai?" I said.

"Well, no problem, Ye Fei." Xiao Ai said easily.

Right now we are still trapped in this unknown place, and we are not even sure if we are in Kenya. Whether we can leave here safely is still unknown. As a result, I actually made a whimsical plan for the next adventure. Damn, it’s really a bit

Er Xian's balls hurt.

If Asan is right, then the dragon ball that Kumar Ali Darvich took must have been hidden in Gedi City State. But we still don’t know where Gedi City State is. For hundreds of years, since

Countless explorers have gone there and returned without success, so they must also lack a key to open the door. For example, the Kanas Lake monster has existed for thousands of years, but no one has seen it. As soon as I went,

Caught alive.

I still don’t know which dragon ball that dragon ball belongs to. It is very likely that the person who killed the shark that attacked me in the sea was a dragon child, and the dragon ball is also very likely to belong to him. But I don’t understand.

, why is it still hiding and not showing up? Is it because it is worried about the organization's sneak attack? Unlike the previous two, who would have some mental communication with me, this dragon son actually did it quietly, without leaking any flaws.

Come out. It seems that it itself feels the sense of crisis around it and does not want to take risks easily.

No matter where you say it, I am actually the real treasure in the eyes of the organization. If they lose me, they will also lose the key to unlock everything. Although a lot of information now implies that I am not the only one, but at least I am the one who is

I have proven that I have the ability to find all of this. A large part of the credit for the two dragons captured by the organization belongs to me. Although I was forced to do so, my role cannot be ignored.

Speaking of which, what is the connection between the map, the portrait, and the mysterious treasure? At least I feel that the Dragon Ball and the portrait are not connected. It seems that there are some omissions in my imagination, but it should not be the case now.

While I'm worrying about this, there are still many important things waiting for me.

"We have come to an end with the matter about the city-state of Gedi. The main purpose now is to study how we can get out of here. I found that there is actually no information worth remembering here. Ah San, in fact, if your father had left this place very early,

Just tell me this information, why do we go to all the trouble to get here?" I said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, there is nothing I can do about it. If the soul of Ibn Sultan does not rest in peace, the curse of our family will still continue. Please forgive me for being selfish in my heart. This is also for Asan's future.

Consider it." Ah San's father's sincere apology made me feel that this old man should not be blamed.

"Yes, boss, please forgive my father. By this time, he should no longer have to lie to you." Although Ah San was still dissatisfied with his father for deceiving him, after all, he had good intentions and was his father.

Why bother clinging to temporary injustice?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's consider how to leave first." I said.

"Dad, how did you leave here back then?" Xiao Ai asked.

"I was much luckier then than I am now. At least I still had enough food and a broken boat. What we lack most now is actually a boat that can sail on the sea." Asan's father said.

"Can we build one now? Because I think there are enough materials here." I asked.

"But we don't have enough tools. We can't chop down huge trees with this thin water saber alone. We need at least a dozen tree trunks before we can make a raft. And it's a simple raft, which is suitable for all kinds of things on the sea.

The situation is difficult to cope with. To be safe, we would build a wooden boat, but building a raft is already very difficult, let alone a wooden boat." Ah San's father seemed to feel that there was little hope.

"We shouldn't give up, even if it's a raft, who can be sure that there will be bad weather these days? As long as we work hard, we won't be resentful like Ibn Sultan if we die here.

"I said.

"Well, Ye Fei is right. The ghost of Ibn Sultan has broken a lot of wood just now. We worked together to transport those trunks, which can save a lot of time." Xiao Ai is always so careful.

, why didn’t I think of those broken logs just now?

Ah San seemed to see some hope and quickly said to his father: "Father, we are not facing death yet. I hope you can use your many years of sailing experience to guide us in building a wooden ship."

Ah San’s father felt a little sorry that the three young men hadn’t given up yet, and that he, the old man, had pulled the plug first. So he nodded and said, “Since you have said so, what can I, the old man, say? I have already

You are old and you don’t have many days left. You are still young and you should have such thoughts."

Ah San was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that his father's knot was relieved. He said to me, "Boss, I should thank you no matter what. You have lifted the curse on our family."

"It's just an unintentional move. In fact, I myself am also under some kind of curse. Now I just want to get out of this life and return to my original peace." I sighed, thinking about the possibility.

Not big anymore.

"Ye Fei, we shouldn't give up hope no matter what, right?" Xiao Ai encouraged me.

I don’t know how Xiao Ai survived such cruel training. What I can predict is that she must have suffered much more than I do now. My little experience is nothing more than the

Under other people's arrangements, I would go through the motions, and they would not let me really encounter any danger. But Xiao Ai was different. If she was not careful, she would be in danger of losing her life, and in the organization, she was also the kind of person who would give up when she was told.

chess pieces.

What kind of world is this that has changed our originally peaceful life? If it weren't for these encounters, I would still be running business in that company, living my life, and one day I met and fell in love with a girl on a blind date.

Then get married, have children, and live out this life in an ordinary way

.Is that the life I want? Animals like humans often don’t get the best. A mediocre life makes me look forward to an adventure. After I really fell into this dangerous situation, I

I started to miss those three-point and one-line life. This is so fucking dramatic.

I think my story has probably just begun. There are still many things waiting for me to solve the puzzle, but if I still go through the motions according to the organization's arrangements, I will still know nothing about it a long time later.
Chapter completed!
