Chapter 533: Golden Country
The meal was probably enjoyed by both the host and the guests.
Anyway, Zhang Da and his team were very happy, and the several chefs hired by the navy were also very happy. Although they earned a lot of money.
Smoker was not seen at the party, but Tina said Smoker was fine, and judging from her appearance, he shouldn't be in any serious trouble.
After carefully observing Misaka Sister, Vice Admiral Gion silently gave Misaka Sister a normal evaluation in his heart.
She tried to find out some information about the weapons used by Misaka sisters, and Misaka honestly told Gion that the model of the gun was F2000R, nicknamed the Toy Army.
The problem is, knowing the model number is useless! Lieutenant General Gion continued to inquire about the origin of the gun. Misaka only said that it was a gun specially made for Academy City and there was only one left. She hid the violin case behind her in a cute way, saying that although the big sister looked very kind, this gun could not be given to her.
Now Vice Admiral Gion gave up hope. Since it was specially made, it should be difficult to manufacture, and the quantity was scarce and the cost was high, so it was unlikely to be mass-produced by the navy.
Come to think of it, if a country could mass-produce such weapons , it would definitely be a military power, and Academy City would not be so unknown.
As for the special way of speaking of Misaka sisters, it hardly attracted the attention of Vice Admiral Gion, because Tina beside her spoke almost the same way, and often liked to add "Tina this and that" at the end of the sentence. It was just a verbal habit, so there was no need to pursue it.
It would be better to ask something more important than worrying about that: "Tatsuya-chan, will you stay here for a while?"
Zhang Da also shook his head: "It's hard to say. Next we want to go to Sky Island, but we still need to investigate the activity patterns of the Jidi Cloud and Chongtian Ocean Current."
"Ride the Sky Current to the Sky Island?" Vice Admiral Gion didn't doubt the existence of the Sky Island, but was surprised by their method. "Isn't this method very risky? Even if you..."
She was worried that if something unexpected happened, even the Amber Tour Group might not be able to guarantee that everyone would survive.
"That's why we have to investigate to make sure everything is foolproof." Zhang Da also said, looking at Gion expectantly. "Speaking of which, you have been stationed here for a long time, right? Do you have any information you can share?"
"We don't have much information. We only know that the Jidi Cloud is a very thick cloud that doesn't produce rain. It's so thick that it blocks out all sunlight. Whenever the Jidi Cloud passes over us, the day here suddenly turns to night."
“Are there any more strange clouds like this?”
"Is that Sky Island up there?"
Curious Vivi and Perona chirped and asked.
Lieutenant General Gion said to them kindly, "I don't know if there are any sky islands up there, as I've never been there. Some say that the Sekiei Cloud is a fossilized cloud. But since Tatsuya-chan asked, it must be there."
Zhang Da also said, "It should be up there. What the Jidi Cloud is is not important. The key is how often it passes through the sea area prone to surge currents, how often surge currents appear, and how large they are."
"Tatsuya-chan, you raise a really interesting question..." Vice Admiral Gion patted his forehead. "The tidal current is actually caused by underwater volcanic activity. Strictly speaking, it's a natural disaster. Everyone avoids that area when sailing. Who would deliberately risk such a huge risk to observe it?"
"Ah... then we can only rely on our own research." Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's cat head, "Luckily, we have professional divers here."
Tom bit off a corner of a square biscuit and chewed it with a crunching sound. After a moment, he realized that his master didn't want him to observe an underwater volcano. The biscuit in his hand suddenly lost its fragrance.
However, everyone else thought that Zhang Daye was talking about Shark Chili, and they didn’t understand why Tom suddenly dropped the biscuit and hugged Zhang Daye’s thigh and cried. Was the biscuit very spicy?
Tina seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of diving, there's a strange man living on the eastern peninsula of Gaya Island. He dives every day, as if he's looking for something on the seabed. He might know something about the Tou Tian Current."
Zhang Da also remembered someone and asked, "Who is it?"
"I think his name is Montblanc Kulik. He came here with the expedition ship of the Kingdom of Lubnir in the North Sea. Back then, it was still the Virgo Jun..." Tina paused for a moment before continuing, "Anyway, after arriving here, he left the expedition ship and stayed alone, diving day after day . I heard he's a descendant of the legendary Big Liar King Nolando."
"Exploration ship? Isn't it a pirate ship?" Zhang Da also had the impression that this man should be a pirate.
"I have you to thank for that," Vice Admiral Gion continued. "Since you became famous, many people have formed tour groups, expedition teams, and even bounty hunters and treasure hunters. Many of them have obtained permission from their own countries, or simply sailed under the name of the kingdom. Fewer people have been so impulsive as to simply fly the pirate flag and sail."
Zhang Da was also a little relieved. It seemed that he had influenced quite a few people without his knowledge.
Weiwei heard an unfamiliar word: "Excuse me...what is a treasure hunter?"
Gion looked at the little princess and patiently explained, "They are people who go out to sea specifically to search for treasure. They often snatch treasure maps from pirates and follow pirates who enjoy treasure hunting, then rob them when they find the treasure."
Gion added, "Of course, there are also some people who will do anything for treasure. They are called treasure hunters, but in fact they are no different from pirates. They are also a more difficult type of people to deal with."
Zhang Da was also puzzled. "Wait, the increase in tour groups and bounty hunters is probably due to our influence, but why are the expedition teams and treasure hunters also blamed on us?"
Gion said helplessly, "Because it's rumored on the sea that the Amber Tour Group has obtained the treasure of the 'Golden Pirate Wu Nan'. It's said that you guys have even admitted it yourself, that your travel expenses were financed by that treasure. Is that true?"
More than just admitting it, they spread the news themselves, partly for fishing and partly to protect that unfortunate little village.
"Ah, that's right." It had been so long that Zhang Da almost forgot about it. The main reason was that it had been a long time since any pirates had bothered him because of this matter. He thought he had been discovered.
"Because you found the great treasure, many people have come out to search for it after consulting various sources. Recently, someone even came here to look for the Golden Country that Nolando mentioned," Vice Admiral Gion said. "That Mont Blanc Coulee probably came here for the Golden Country as well."
