”Gah! This is impossible!”
Here is a tall building on the harbour of the Emerald Dragon City, known as the 'Ocean Research Station'. At the top of the building, a group of emerald dragons are gathering together for a meeting.
Although this 'research station' is said to study the ocean, it is still doing a lot of other research. Recently, they are studying: Will the stars fall?How to make ships with non-wood materials?Where is the end of the world?The difference between electric gnomes and skeleton gnomes?Should the salamander be added with salty seasoning or sweet seasoning?
Especially the last discussion was particularly intense.
But the main purpose of this research station is to use a small dinosaur called a ”messenger” to keep in touch with ships on the ocean. This kind of dinosaur can fly, and has a strong ability to confirm the direction. When you fly back, you can also use the ship as a nest, and fly out from here to find the moving ship.
The reason is unknown.
Because of this kind of creature, the Emerald Dragon can keep in touch with all the ships. They just received a shocking news just now. The ship of 'Black Pepper. The Explorer of Exploration' was actually destroyed by disaster?
This information made them unacceptable, making the Emerald Dragon here have to give up the previous research and all invested in this problem.
When the emerald dragons started sailing, many emerald dragons tried to build their own ships, but most of the boats built by other emerald dragons could not leave the mainland too far because of shape problems and other problems. Mi personally directed the construction of the ship to reach farther away.
And many emerald dragons will be lost because of the direction, and thus will lose track on the sea.
Black Pepper not only built a ship with a reasonable structure suitable for long-distance navigation, but also invented the method of observing the starry sky to confirm its position. Its ship also reached the farthest place.
Black Pepper's boat is mainly made of specially collected home tree fragments, with a total length of more than 40 meters and a boat width of about 15 meters. It can carry hundreds of emerald dragons and a large amount of cargo, mainly using sails to move, reasonable The shape can make it drift in the sea for a long time, and is called ”dream”.
Black Pepper used this boat to expand its territory for the Emerald Dragon Kingdom. Every time Black Pepper brought back information to meet the new island, there would be many emerald dragons cheering for it.
Now, it can be said that the emerald dragons in the whole city are paying attention to its journey, and even some dragons of the research station have printed the travel information of black pepper on the stone slab and sold them to make a lot of crystallization.
Then the black pepper suddenly went out.
... this kind of thing is unacceptable!
”It mentioned a thick fog in it.” Said an emerald dragon headed above the conference table; ”then all the dragons inside died.”
”They should have been killed by some kind of monster!” Said another dragon: ”What should we do now? Then our income will be much lower!”
After finding that selling information can make a profit, this research station often sells sailing information of various ships, but black pepper can sell the most.
”We don't need to explain, as long as the voyage of fabricated black pepper continues to be sold and sold.” The third dragon said; ”This can guarantee income, and no dragon will doubt!”
”But Wang is also very concerned about this black pepper journey.” The first dragon said: ”If it comes here to investigate, it may find something wrong.”
”Then what should we do? Is it declared that the black pepper is completely extinguished, what about our income?”
”Compared to income, you should pay attention to Wang. It seems to have a lot of opinions on us recently. It is always said that we are studying something strange!”
