Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2368

Skermann was located by the Gulf Coast that was riddled with war all the time, and the dozen or so countries surrounding it had been going at it for decades now. Thus, the wealthier citizens and businessmen would usually put their trading resources in Skermann.

That basically made Skermann the central hub for all its neighboring countries' resources, which explained why it was far more developed than other nations in comparison. Skermann being a part of the Gulf Coast should have made it one of the warring countries, but that was not the case. The neighboring countries needed somewhere to store their resources, and the people of Skermann were also avid advocates for peace and heavily disliked engaging in war. Thus, Skermann had somehow become an important neutral nation on the Gulf Coast.

The conflict between the surrounding countries was usually over profit and gain, and the endless wars that happened on the Gulf Coast only further proved this point. Wilbur was far from interested in being a part of those wars.

He headed to the docks upon landing in Beklaven, then rented a speedboat, which he took to Wendis at top speed.

It was three in the afternoon when Wilbur arrived in Wendis. Upon docking, he began searching along the coastline but was unable to find the scene he had seen through the fourth dragon cauldron fragment after an entire day of searching.

Sitting in a hotel room, Wilbur frowned and muttered to himself, "This fifth dragon cauldron fragment has to be in Wendis, but why can't I find the scene that I saw in the fourth fragment?"

Wilbur fell deep into thought. He even suspected that he had been searching in the wrong place. Maybe the fifth cauldron fragment wasn't even in Wendis, to begin with. Upon doing some simple comparisons, however, Wilbur was able to confirm that he was in the right place.

He had definitely seen Wendis in the fourth cauldron fragment. However, he could not find the scene in real life. It was as if the place had… disappeared.

Wilbur thought about it for a long time before coming to terms with the idea that the people here may have built more roads and tourist spots to boost the economy here. This was probably why the scene he saw in the dragon cauldron fragment was nowhere to be found. It was probably altered beyond recognition.

Wendis was a tourist hotspot, and the townsfolk told Wilbur that the roads here were bound to change every now and then. Yet when Wilbur asked them if there had ever been a road leading to the sea, everyone shook their heads saying that they had never seen anything like that before.

After all, coastal areas were prone to getting hit by hurricanes and tsunamis. If the roads were facing the sea, the damage would be ten times worse.

No matter how the roads were reconstructed, there was no way they would lead to the sea like what Wilbur had seen from the dragon cauldron fragment.

"I've lived here for almost sixty years, Mister Penn. Trust me when I say that everyone you ask will give you the same answer. There would never be a road facing the sea here."
