    The three islands were discovered by members of the Sky Knights. They observed the small island shrouded in thick fog during their cruise.  The navigation technology of this era was not advanced, and the awareness of ocean territoriality was almost non-existent. In addition, there were a large number of intelligent races living in the ocean, so these scattered islands were not even marked on the kingdom map.  Under the guidance of the gryphon knight in the sky, Sun Shijie led ten team members to the island in a hover car.  They were very lucky and didn't encounter any dangerous marine life along the way.  According to Sun Shijie's visual inspection, the area of ??these three islands distributed in a Z-shaped pattern should be about 20 square kilometers, and the islands are connected by shoals.  An island with such a large area should be self-sufficient if anyone survives.  Moreover, the distance between here and the mainland is less than fifty kilometers, so it is not necessarily certain that the residents of the island have contact with the mainland.  The griffins in the sky have attracted the attention of the natives on the island, and many figures holding weapons appeared on the coast.  Sun Shijie observed with weapons and found that although these people were generally short in stature and had slightly red skin, they looked the same as mainlanders and wore clothes similar to those in mainland China. This made him feel relieved.  Since they wear the same style of clothes as the mainland, it means that at least they are not barbaric and ignorant, and can communicate well with language.  If he really encountered a group of naked guys with spears and guns, Sun Shijie would be in tears.  The people on the shore all held weapons and watched the griffins in the air and the approaching all-terrain vehicles with vigilance. Although their weapons could not even scratch the itch of the 7th Squadron, Sun Shijie still signaled the team members to be more vigilant.  Then drive the ATV toward the shore.  The all-terrain suspension vehicle dragged up the snow-white waves and slowly approached the shore. People on the shore aimed their weapons at Sun Shijie and the others. The young people stood at the front, with children, women, and the elderly behind.  "Who are you!? What are you doing here?" Guarded by bows, arrows and spears, a man looked fierce.  A tall old man with a scar on his face walked out of the crowd.  A look of caution.  Sun Shijie's first reaction when he saw the old man was that this was a pirate's lair, and the old man was the pirate leader.  "Sir, we are the seventh squadron of the Buist Royal Guard. I am the captain Sun Shijie. We have some things to ask you here." Sun Shijie stood on the chair and said to the old man with a smile on his face.  His experience and research in using words are not as good as Kidd's.  So I can only deal with it with full energy.  "We are not under the control of your queen! Go back quickly! Otherwise we will not be polite." A young man standing next to the old man raised a machete in his hand with a vigilant look on his face.  They just have no information.  The four words "Royal Guard" have meant the same thing since ancient times.  That is the powerful force that uses the country and royal power as its final backing.  "Don't be so heartless, young man. We are not here for occupation or taxation, so we won't cause you any trouble. We just have some questions to ask you and hope you can help us.  Of course, we will give you corresponding rewards and ensure that you are satisfied. And please put down your weapons? My subordinates and I are not used to being pointed at, of course you don't have to do that."  It is tepid, and the sentences are soft and hard.  He looked at the crude weapon pointed at him with a look of disapproval.  "What did you say!?" After hearing the second half of Sun Shijie's words, many young people with weapons were ready to take action. Their vision was generally low and they were unable to judge personal strength from temperament.  If one or two of them had some knowledge, how could they be indifferent to the murderous spirit of these team members?  "Put down your weapons." Just as Sun Shijie shook his head secretly, the old man spoke. He frowned and looked at Sun Shijie without blinking.  It was obvious that the old man's vision was much better than that of these young people. At least it was too strange for him to look at the hover car speeding through the sea.  "But Sir, they" The young man seemed a little unconvinced.  "Just do what you are told. They are the nobles of a country and they will not keep their word." The old man said majestically. The young man immediately fell silent and put down the weapons in their hands in twos and threes.  "This old man has a good vision." Eve whispered to Sun Shijie mysteriously, and Sun Shijie nodded.  The old man talked about the aristocratic status of the team members, and at the same time deliberately brought up the issue of 'talking the talk'. He was obviously trying to bully him with words so that he would do what he said.  "Come with me." The old man comforted the residents behind him and said to Sun Shijie.  Sun Shijie jumped off the hover car and followed the old man, and Eve also followed.  A group of local aborigines surrounded them enthusiastically, while the team members drove the hover car at the end. The griffin in the air chirped twice and slowly landed.  "Tell me, what exactly are you asking?" In a thatched shed on the shore, Sun Shijie and the others were sitting on the ground beside a fire frame.  A group of children looked at them curiously outside the pavilion. Their mother nervously protected the children and at the same time looked curiously at these so-called  noble gentlemen.  One or two native dogs were wandering around them, secretly looking at the gryphon not far away from time to time. The old man sat opposite them, using a small stick to stir the fire.  After the fire became a little stronger, he finally raised his head and said.  "Is there any iron ore on this island?" Sun Shijie asked suspiciously when he saw the pot on the fire shelf.  "No, is that what you want to ask me?" The old man looked at Sun Shijie curiously.  "No, I'm wondering how you meet the consumption of daily necessities? Are these made in mainland China?" Sun Shijie asked, pointing to the pot.  "Yes, we have a ship. We can take the opportunity to go to the mainland once a year, and there are also caravans coming to trade with us." The old man replied angrily: "What? Is there any problem?" "No, it's actually nothing.  , I just want to ask you. Do you know the story about the floating continent or any other information?" Seeing that the old man's attitude was a bit aggressive, Sun Shijie hurriedly asked him about his main purpose.  He probably didn't expect that Sun Shijie was asking these questions, and the old man was a little stunned for a moment.  "A floating continent?" "Yes, old sir, do you know anything? Whether it's a story or a legend, anything is good." "I'm not old yet." The old man touched his beard and thought seriously and said: "  Our ancestors have lived here for who knows how many years, and we do know the story of the floating continent. It is said that it floats in the sky day and night, and there are many people living on it. There are many fleets of ships with white sails coming and going in the sky every day.  . Very prosperous. But it is said that their prosperity attracted the jealousy of the evil god, and the evil god sent down a red fireball from the sky and shattered the floating continent. Then there were huge waves and storms.  Taking shelter in the mountains, the ancestors later found many dead bodies on the sea. They were all people from the floating continent. "The falling red fireball is very consistent with the characteristics of comets or meteorites passing through the atmosphere.  And tsunamis and storms.  It is also a disaster caused by meteorites falling into the sea.  Now it seems that the floating continent did not disappear, but was indeed directly hit by the falling comet. Sun Shijie found that the floating island was just a fragment of the original continent.  But this is a bit troublesome. If the compass of starry sky reflection is also destroyed by the meteorite, then Sun Shijie and the others will be doing useless work now.  "Do you know only this much?" Sun Shijie asked him. The old man nodded and said, "That's all. These are all things that are spread by word of mouth on the island." Although Sun Shijie was not satisfied with the result, Sun Shijie told the old man what he said  Still very sure.  This legend was passed down orally on the island, and it was not distorted or exaggerated. This is quite rare in a world where the use of words is low, especially since it took ten thousand years.  "Then thank you. This is your reward. Please be sure to accept it. And if you have any difficulties, you can consider joining the Buist Kingdom. The Queen will give you equal treatment." Sun Shijie took out a small bag.  He handed the gold coin to the old man and said seriously.  "Thank you for your generosity." Life on the island is very difficult. In order to improve the conditions of the entire tribe, the old man accepted it without saying anything.  Sun Shijie didn't get any valuable information, so he said goodbye and prepared to leave.  "Do you want to know about the floating continent?" When Sun Shijie and the others got in the car, the old man chased them and asked.  Sun Shijie looked at him curiously. The old man hesitated and said, "I don't know if this matter will be useful to you, but it's better to say it." What's the matter?  "Not missing any clues is the biggest criterion for searching," Sun Shijie suddenly became energetic. "We go fishing at sea, and from time to time we can also salvage items about the floating continent.  said the old man. "Really!"  ?  Sun Shijie suddenly became happy and grabbed the old man's clothes, which shocked the old man: "Let me see where those things are!"  ""Those are no longer here.  The old man broke away from Sun Shijie, rolled his eyes and said, "There is a caravan that often comes to the island to do business with us. They always buy the things we get at high prices. Thanks to them, we can barely have enough food and clothing now.  I think if you are looking for information about floating islands, they might be a good choice.  "    "Yeah?  Who are they?  What is the caravan called and how can we find them?  Sun Shijie asked eagerly. "They are a flying ship caravan that travels between continents. The name of the caravan is the Legend Caravan. They come here about once a month and bring some daily necessities to trade with us. Calculate the time."  , they are coming soon.  In addition, the sails of their fleet are white, which is very unique and easy to identify. They should often be seen on the waterway.  "The old man said. "Thank you, thank you very much!  Sun Shijie said happily. He jumped out of the car, took out his newly drawn map, and asked the old man to mark the salvage location. "By the way, have you seen anything like this?"  "Sun Shijie used holographic image magic to display the compass reflecting the starry sky in the scene, and asked the old man. The old man looked at it and shook his head hesitantly. "We have never seen anything like this.  "
