Chapter 0109 - Five Big Boxes
East Coast.
When the tide recedes, the beach soaked in the sea water is full of seashells, starfish, crabs and other seafood, and fishermen have already begun to come to catch seafood.
Liszt rode on the back of a Lilong horse.
Watching a large group of people busily bare feet on the beach, they were busy connecting ropes, finding almost all the ropes in the town and twisting them into a single rope.
Costor dived to the location of the wreck and put the rope on the keel of the wreck.
Swim back and wave to everyone: "Pull!
Dozens of serfs, like slender men on the Volga, took heavy steps, and instantly tightened the ropes. Under the command of Galtai, they shouted slogans and exerted their strength: "One, two, three!"
One, two!
Three!
Slogans rang out one after another.
The rope tightens their shoulders, soothing, tense with the rhythm of their bodies. One step at a time, sink your feet deep into the yellow sand. Some of them are half-centenarians, some are young teenagers, doing the same job. His clothes were in tatters, his face was dark, his hair was against his forehead, and sweat was dripping.
They really resemble slender men on the Volga.
But they weren't.
Repin's famous painting "The Slender Man on the Volga" was read by Liszt and found in Chinese textbooks. In the painting, the slender man tugs a boat by the river all the year round, and life destroys them with insensitivity and indifference. These temporary workers in Flower Town have a smile on their faces, even though the sun is blazing overhead.
Because of this trip to the slender man's work, everyone can get a copper plate income.
The lords who came here from the Great Tulip Castle were generous and merciful, bringing them plenty of food and tinkling copper plates, even silver and gold coins!
Life has never been so hopeful.
"One, two, three!"
"Hard!" Galtai yelled from the side, "you lazy fellows, haven't you eaten!"
On the surface of the sea, Costor kept diving and surfacing and shouting: "Pull it up, the hull of the ship has been pulled out! If you push harder, you will pull the bow out!"
Several slogans landed.
Costo shouted again: "It's done, the wreck has been pulled out of the silt and sand!"
After pulling it out, the slender men became more and more calm, and easily dragged the tattered wreck all the way to the beach. The wreck, overgrown with green algae, could no longer be seen in its original appearance, and only one mast remained, and it was still broken. The hull is full of holes, and from time to time crabs crawl out of it.
"Your Excellency, the shipwreck has been salvaged!" said Galtai excitedly.
Costor also leaned over: "The old-fashioned brig, looking at this shape, should be a ship from a hundred years ago." Lord Lord, this is supposed to be the ship of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, a hundred years ago only the Grand Duchy could build a brig. ”
Liszt rode on his horse and circled the shipwreck: "Was it a shipwreck a hundred years ago, then, is it a merchant ship, or is it a war ship?"
"It should be a merchant ship, the hold is sealed, and it is used for transporting goods. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, Mr. Galtai, let this hundred-year-old cargo ship be dismantled, I want to see if there is anything left in its hold. ”
"As you wish!"
It was difficult to build a ship, but it was quickly dismantled, and after a few moments, the cabin was smashed open. Patrolmen got in and pulled out some cloth that had been soaked in the sea, as well as some grain wreckage. It was presumably a merchant ship that trafficked cloth and grain, which somehow sank.
"Could it be that the treasure of the shipwreck, such a small thing?" said Liszt, who did not believe it.
Sure enough.
One of the patrolmen suddenly shouted: "There are boxes, there are several boxes here, intact, the lock has not been opened!"
"Get the box out!"
"Give me the hammer, the box is stuck in the keel, and I need to hammer the wood off. ”
After some tossing, a total of five large boxes were dragged out of the wreck cabin and placed on the beach. Costor looked around the box for a few moments and came to a conclusion: "My lord, this should be a redwood wood, strong and durable, and obviously waterproof, it must be a valuable item in the box." ”
Liszt smiled: "In that case, carry them to my castle...... By the way, everyone who participated in the salvage this time paid double the remuneration. Captain Costor found the shipwreck, then, reward him with a gold coin. ”
He hadn't looked at what was in the box.
Immediately began to distribute rewards, with the aim of encouraging the people to discover, explore, and contribute more good things to him. At the same time, this gold coin also encouraged Costodo to recruit sailor apprentices to see if he could really pull up a group of qualified sailors.
......
Five large chests, each the size of a desk, were neatly arranged in the halls of the castle.
The lock is presumably cast in brass and has rusted.
Carter guards the chest, forbidding servants from approaching.
Therefore, the maid and the manmaid could only squeeze at the door of the hall and look at the boxes curiously.
"Debbie, what do you say is in it, will there be a mermaid?"
"Maybe it's the Song Demon, there is a Song Demon on the sea. ”
"The box has been around for some years, and even if it contains mermaids and song demons, it has already become a bone. ”
"Not necessarily, I heard that mermaids can live for hundreds of years!"
"I guess it's all gold, no, it's dragon coins! a box full of dragon coins could buy the whole of Flower Town. ”
"Jim, think about it with your brain, the entire Flower Town, including you and me, can't sell a few dragon coins! A box of dragon coins can buy the entire Coral Island!"
Carter turned around and yelled at the chattering servant, "Have you forgotten the etiquette of the nobles, do your own work, and don't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with you, understand?"
Mrs. Mawson also came down from the upper floor, glanced at several maids, and fixed on Maisie: "The hygiene of the master's study is not up to standard, and there are crumbs in the corners, Maisie, this is your dereliction of duty, you need to clean it again." ”
"Yes, Mrs. Mawson. Maisie nodded yes and hurried to get the cleaning tools.
The two butlers reprimanded, and all the servants did not dare to make a mistake, and returned to their posts one after another. Only Carter and Mawson were left in the hall.
"Hasn't the master come back yet?"
"The lord went to the nightshade field, and the nightshade in the field is not very good, and the lord is trying to find a way to solve it. ”
"I've been to see that nightshade, and it's not going to be good, Mr. Carter, do you think it's going to come back to life?"
"I'm sure I can. Carter smiled slightly, "Because the lord will save it, the knight glory favors the town of flowers, and even more favors the lord." ”
Liszt didn't know that his butler trusted him so much.
At this time, he was looking at the nightshade whose vitality was almost cut off, frowning and thinking about how he could help it condense its magic power: "In the mission, it was said that 'the magic power that is as warm as water' is draining, does it mean that the nightshade needs to replenish the water attribute magic? Only me and Marcus in the town have attribute fighting energy, but they are fire attribute and wind attribute. ”
Suddenly.
A flash of inspiration.
He thought of the black pearl, in his gem space, but there were fourteen black pearls with water attributes: "Perhaps, I can grind the black pearl and sprinkle it on the root of the nightshade, so that it can absorb the magic of the water attribute by itself...... I don't know if it's the right idea, but that's the only way to do it at the moment. ”
A dead horse was a live horse doctor, and he immediately took out a black pearl the size of a fist, ground it and buried it in the root of the nightshade.
"Dead or alive, look at Nightshade's own creation. He got on his horse and galloped to the castle, where there were still five boxes with treasures, waiting to be opened.
