Chapter 775： Looking towards the sea (2/2)

Victoria was a little puzzled for a while, but she quite agreed with the second half of Govin.

Those ancient and powerful races can come and go freely in the human world, but human beings can't take a step in front of the ocean, knowing that there may be a wider world opposite the sea, but they can only hide on land to guess what is there. This situation ... is indeed a little bit aggrieved.

Of course, an empire, especially an empire that still needs to be developed, ca n’t just start ocean operations regardless of cost for the sake of “unyielding”. There is no sufficient interest to promote it. A cause that does not see the future will also shake the foundation of the empire, but if it is only a certain degree of exploration and a certain degree of technological accumulation ... that's no problem.

She knew that Gao Wen meant the same.

On this basis, she seriously considered how to explore the open sea with the current strength of the Cecil Empire.

In thought, she slowly said, "Your Majesty, if you want to explore the open sea, then the northern coastline may not be a good 'starting point' ..."

Gao Wen frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"According to many records, starting from the northern coastline and crossing the sea passage formed by the Kingdom of Violet and the Principality of the Holy Dragon, there is an extraordinarily large permanent storm circle on the sea. This storm circle does not seem to weaken or drift throughout the year. On any safe route, a man-made ship should not be able to break through its blockade ... "

Gao Wen slightly opened his eyes in surprise: "Is there such a storm circle?"

Crossing the extreme north of the continent, crossing the "Going to the Peninsula" of the Kingdom of Violet and the Principality of the Holy Dragon, there is a dead corner monitored by his satellite lens!

"Yes," Victoria nodded. "In fact, there are not only ancient books, but when the weather is clear and the magic environment on the sea is relatively stable, you can see from the heights of the northern mountains to the ocean, and sometimes you can see it. The hazy 'cloud wall' surging on the sea is an indirect proof of the existence of a storm circle. "

"The cloud wall that can be seen directly with the naked eye in the north?" Gao Wen was really shocked this time. "How big is that thing?"

"If the ancient books are correct, if the Wilde family's observations and calculations for hundreds of years are correct, its effective range is greater than the entire northern territory, and even larger than the entire Violet Kingdom, enough to cover one-half of the Cecil Empire. ! "

Gao Wen: "..."

After a moment of astonishment, he couldn't help talking to himself: "How did this thing ..."

"No one knows that the existing magic theories and meteorological theories cannot explain, but there are many legends and stories about eternal storms on the ocean in the northern borders, but they are either paradoxical or paradoxical, or they are attributed to the gods Force, there is no reference value. "

"This storm circle is permanent?" Gao Wen couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Yes, the Wilder family has not seen it fade in any way for at least seven hundred years."

"Can you get around?"

"It ca n’t be bypassed from the north direction-it completely blocks the northern route. If the northern ring-continent route is successfully launched, it is possible to start from the west of the strait, bypass the west coast of the violet kingdom, and officially enter the ocean-but it is very difficult."

"Yeah, it's not that difficult," Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh. "Not to mention that the long voyage has been increased out of thin air, it is unknown whether the Violet Kingdom is willing to let our exploration ship make a large circle around their offshore ... ... "

As he spoke, he thought of another question:

North of the mainland ... There is a large and never-ending storm structure in the north of the mainland, so what else is there in that direction?

It seems that the dragon came from that direction ...

Will that huge storm be related to the dragon? Or rather ... was the storm created by the dragon to guard their portal?

If that's the case, then exploring the ocean from the north is really the next option.

Just then Victoria suddenly said again: "Your Majesty, if the northern route is not optional, we actually have another option ..."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "Another option?"

Victoria nodded slightly: "We're not just one estuary on the north coast. In the northeast corner of the east, near the border with the Principality of Shenglong, at the end of the cliffs and highlands, there is a small estuary ..."

"The Duke of Ice and Snow" spoke slowly, and the satellite map in Gao Wen's mind slowly adjusted.

He saw the estuary, an estuary that he had subconsciously ignored because it was near the border of the Principality of Holy Dragon and lacked clear landmarks around it.

Suddenly, he felt a jittery picture in his mind.

A little bit of fragmented memory emerged deep in his mind!

It was a memory belonging to Gavin Cecil!
