"Atlantis? You mean the Atlantis that sank into the Atlantic Ocean?" "That's right, Plato said this: 'In the ocean to the west of the Pillar of Hecules Strait, there is an extremely wealthy and powerful country called Atlantis with the golden Poseidon Palace as the center.' Heculius The pillar of the stone is Gibraltar in Greek, so the west of it is naturally the Atlantic Ocean. Doctor, Plato is a famous philosopher in ancient Greece." "Of course I know, but what does that have to do with that kid?" "Did you know that the Atlanteans also have another name - 'winged man'. I think humans may not be able to fly even if they have wings, so this name should refer to their very large shoulder blades, which look like Wings. How? Doc, do you think that child is worthy of research now?"

Polune was fascinated.Gold, precious stones, gentle and trustworthy races, these are not things that people imagined.How much is that golden Sea God Palace worth?If, I went to find those things... At that time, Polune was young and energetic, thinking that he could do anything as long as he dared to think. "By the way, there have been various legends about the location of Atlantis in recent years. Some say it's in the American continent, others say it's in the center of the Sahara Desert, and another says it's in Frobenius in the French Congo. " "Recently, the archaeological community has discovered the remnants of AL·IDRISI's monograph on geography. The author, Al Idriki, was an Arab geographer in the twelfth century. The remnants record some content about Atlantis. It is said that Asia The shape of the Translante Sea is very similar to that salt lake called 'Schott el Djerid' near Tunisia."

"In this way, Plato's so-called Atlantis should be near the Azores. But Al Idriki claimed that Atlantis was not in the sea, but inland. He said that Atlantis Just south of what is now Tunisia is the Salt Lake I just mentioned. That area is not simple, there is a mysterious no-man's land called "Dark Darkness". Doctor, have you heard of the legend of the "Red-headed Man"? ?” "The red-headed man!" Polune understood—Fries thought the child from yesterday was a red-headed man. The one with red spots on the neck is the "red-headed man", and the "big dark" is Atlantis.The child was what Fleiss called a "winged man."Both the money-greedy Polune and the purely research-minded Fries looked forward to seeing that weird child again the next day... but the child did not appear.

It's been almost twenty years since this happened, if you don't mention it, Polune will forget it.But now, he learned of the child's whereabouts through this girl named Stella. Polune looked at Stella who was lying on the bed, thinking about it. Hmph, what should come is still coming.God let me meet the sister of the Great Red Spot here, and this time I got more information, the Great Red Spot was picked up from "Dark Darkness".In this way, the so-called Atlantis is not groundless.There must be countless gold and precious stones there, as well as the golden Sea God Palace.That's a big baby.Alright, I'm going to meet this chick's brother.

The illusory legend has been confirmed by chance.Osden, who is covered with red spots on his neck, is an Atlantean and the legendary "red-headed man".If the "Dark Darkness" is "isolated" as the legend says, maybe those Atlanteans have lived there for five thousand years.Polune imagined the scene of excavating the relics. In the hot wind-ravaged desert, he led a photography team, an academic expedition team, and an automatic excavator to explore.He is the commander of the team.Polune, a realist, is also full of romantic fantasies at this time. After Stella woke up, Polune couldn't wait to ask her brother's whereabouts.Unfortunately, Osden ran away from home two months ago.Polune mobilized the power of the police to investigate secretly on Moxiang Street, a black street in Tunisia, but did not get any useful clues.It's a pity that everything is in order, but Osden's east wind is nowhere to be found.This annoyed Polune, who was eager to hunt for treasure.

Later, Stella found a job with the help of the mountain seat.She temporarily lives in Polune's house, but Polune fails to find anyone, so he turns his target to the beautiful Stella, intending to possess this beautiful girl.Stella refused and escaped from the magic den.The nurse working in the hospital told Yamaza Borune that he had bad intentions, and the savior Yamaza rushed out to find out Stella's whereabouts and save her from the fire. However, Polune was punished internally by the police for taking bribes on Moxiang Street, and was assigned to serve in a prison.The dream of treasure hunting in Atlantis was shattered.

Who knew that by chance and coincidence, Polune actually saw through the gestures made by the young Masai.The mysterious prisoner in the prison is the Osden he was looking for, and his long-extinguished dream was ignited again. God help me too!With a smile on his face, Polune stared greedily at the two people who were talking in sign language under the tree. Hmph, this boy Shanzao is really thoughtful.He even let the native boy to pass on the message, and he didn't have to show up, and he didn't let the other party find out his true identity.How should I think of a way to deal with you?What a wonderful move you made.

Oh!Polune's expression suddenly became stiff, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up the binoculars to observe their gestures carefully. Hmph, it turned out to be this trick. "Eat the Indian fig brought by this kid, and you will urinate blood tonight... It looks like you have Nigerian fever... When you are sent to the hospital..." Hehe, are you finally going to act? Polune got up and walked to the window facing the sea, where a sailboat was moored on the sparkling sea.That is the "Gan Xing" of Shanzuo.On the way to the ward for Osden pretending to be sick, Shan Zuo will lead his men to snatch him away.

"Doctor, Prisoner Fronte No. 72 says he's not feeling well. His urine is red..." As planned, a guard came to report. "Really? I'll go and have a look later and let him lie down first." Polune intends to use his tricks instead of exposing Osten's tricks.Beyond the five-mile-long coastline is virgin forest, where the roar of hyenas and wild boars can often be heard.Temperatures drop sharply at night in the tropics.Polune felt a little sleepy. Just let that kid out, and then I'll go treasure hunting with them.Shan Zuo must have brought him out for the treasure of Atlantis.Hehe, Yamazuo, do you think your plan is seamless?Who would have thought that I, Master Polune, would have seen through your little trick.I really got lucky.Just wait, when the time comes, I will let Lao Tzu join your army.

So Osden was successfully released from prison with the help of Shan Zuo, and Polune immediately handed over the resignation form to the prison.As we write this, we turn the stage to Tunisia after April. "It's so hot. Fleiss, are you there? The excavation permit has finally been issued." Yamazao took off his helmet and threw it away, yelling as he walked towards the balcony. The German Fries, who was an intern in a Paris hospital twenty years ago, later switched to archaeology.In 1917, he was very active in the excavation of the remains of Atlantis. Unfortunately, Professor Behrman's excavation ended in failure, but he was the only one among his colleagues who did not give up hope.Later, Fles was fortunate enough to know Shan Zuo, and got funding from Shan Zuo to continue searching for Atlantis.

After hearing Stella's story about Osden's life, Fleiss proposed to rescue Osden. "Thank you. How is it? Governor Sharpley didn't bother you, did he?" "It's really a character. I think the governor's attitude is a little strange. Hey, what sound is that?" The roar of the sea cannon was heard not far away, and the shells roared on the sea, shaking the windows of Stella's room. "Oh, that was the Italian fleet maneuvering near Pantelleria Island. They planned to attack Tunisia. Now the warships are parked at the border of the territorial waters. The situation is so serious, but Governor Chapriai is not disturbed. Italy is so arrogant, he I didn’t protest, I just sat there and touched the female secretary’s ass. This is really strange, I think it has something to do with this expedition?” "Why do you think so?" "The sixth sense told me. It's probably my imagination. Expeditions and wars have nothing to do with each other. But...but..." A sad look appeared on Shan Zuo's face, and Fries was also worried. "Did the governor make it difficult for you about the excavation permit? For example..." "That's not true, Xia Priai is a man of knowledge and understanding." Yamaza suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, I want to ask you a few questions about Atlantis. How do you explain the strange things that happened in the 'Dark Darkness'?" "Well, I only believe what I see. I don't believe in the legend of the meat-eating rock, but Professor Behrman and I did indeed see a lively hairtail on the hot sand. It's more scary than amazing. Are we all crazy? Seriously, I really thought something was wrong at the time. But in retrospect, I think there is a canal in the 'Darkness' that communicates with the sea. Then we can fly a plane and search carefully." "Well, it is necessary." "Be careful when flying low, there is no open space for a temporary airport, there are sharp stone corners everywhere. There is a valley in the center of the place, and there is a freshwater waterfall in it. It is a hell to find sea fish next to the freshwater waterfall. " "Hey, don't rush to sigh, okay? Did Osden remember anything?" "Don't mention it!" Speaking of Osden, Fleiss looked very anxious. "How to ask him, he said he didn't remember. But he can't blame him. Stella said that when her father picked up Osden, he was only three years old. It's strange if he can remember. But we can only rely on him In order to get more information. He seems to be very good at spending money recently, and he seems to often go to Moxiang Street..." Osten became an employee of the Italian Consulate under the arrangement of the mountain seat.It is not what it used to be, and now he can walk on the streets of Tunisia with dignity. There is an enemy hiding in the dark frequently tempting Osden.The identity of this person is unknown, only that he is from Moxiang Street.After Osden came into contact with him, he became very good at spending money, and the pocket money Shanzao gave him was not enough. "In short," Fles said, breaking the silence, "the primary goal of this expedition is the 'Great Darkness'. And our purpose is to solve two mysteries. One is the hairtail in the desert, and the other is Atlantis. .Maybe the two mysteries have the same answer." "Well, but the main thing at the moment is Osten. It seems that someone is secretly contacting Osden. Is he an enemy against us, or is he just a small role who just wants to knock him off? Before the expedition set off, I'm afraid we'll have to get to the bottom of this character first." Shanzuo came to Moxiang Street that night.The streets were smelly, with low eaves and uneven stone roads everywhere.Strangely dressed Arab women peer out of hashish dens.Yamaza came to the smokehouse where Osten was.
