Chapter 382: Wine and Treasure
Lu Xiu may never know that the real reason for the girl's anger is not how he abruptly behaved with the beautiful woman, but that he actually compares himself to the stupid big sword afterwards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info may not be a concern in the eyes of the little dragon people in Nene, there is no difference between these two things, but in Lu Yingying's heart, she has a strong sense of being offended.
Of course, that lightning and stone-like intimate contact was consciously forgotten by the two people in the blink of an eye.
Zhuang Du made a silent gesture in the cold light, which reminded Lu Yingying of the environment everyone was in at the moment. She glared fiercely at the dragonman, forced herself to retract her emotions, and looked around.
The eye is greeted by a long, low, narrow corridor that can accommodate at most three people, flanked by narrow compartments, and the interior of the hull is almost entirely made of solid wood, from the floor to the beam rafters. The surrounding planks exuded a strong odor, not like the musty smell of rotting wood, but like the smell of fragrant ash soaked in water for a long time, with a heavy and damp death intent. There was no sunlight inside the ship, and even the most tenacious moss could not grow, so only the wood grain was exposed, and a thick layer of floating dust had accumulated on the floor. The flame bags or other light sources that should have been placed on the lampholders along the corridor had already burned out all the fuel and turned into a handful of ashes. At this moment, someone passed by, and the dust that had been silent for many years was raised one after another, changing various shapes under the light of Baibei.
"This is the main corridor on the top floor." The scribe straightened his hair that had been messed up as he fell, and took in the glow to see him, "The command room should be in the direction of the bow of the ship, and the direction of the stern should be the common place for the captain, the first mate, the old sailor, and the hunter who is skilled in naval warfare. โ
"Where's the arsenal?" Zhuang Du asked.
"There will be no special arsenals on the ship, and weapons will probably be stored in separate compartments on the second floor near the edge of the hull." Zoning is a basic construction strategy used to ensure that a sea vessel does not sink during a long journey. High-powered weapons are stored separately, and even if a compartment explodes and catches fire due to improper storage, it will not have much impact on the entire ship.
"Do you have any specific information about that murderous treasure?" The little scribe asked nonchalantly, "Size and characteristics, etc., may help me determine its location." โ
"Nothing." Zhuang Du replied dryly. He reached out and pushed the door of a room beside him, the iron handle breaking in two without any suspense, "If there is news of this accuracy, we don't need to search aimlessly here." โ
"Be careful......" Lu Xiu reminded the man in black who was about to open the door.
"There won't be any danger, there aren't even light-phobic fungi and insects around here, and we're afraid we won't see any monsters for a while." The young master pushed open the door, and inside the door was a narrow bedroom, with only a low bed and an open cabinet, and bottles and cans and boxes of different sizes were stacked haphazardly, with little room to put down.
"It's just an ordinary sailor's quarter." The group followed the door and rummaged through the chaotic bedroom. Lu Xiu opened a seemingly delicate box, and the locks were already rusty and brittle, but the boxes were stacked haphazardly with brown glazed columnar pottery vases. Most of the bottles were empty, but two or three were still tightly sealed with corks and mud, and the boy lifted one and sniffed it fiercely.
"Wine!" Lu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he used his fingernails to pick open the sealing mud, and suddenly a fiery aroma of wine filled the entire room. No matter how inferior the sake is, if it has been sealed for hundreds of years, it will become the best product that drinkers are eager for. The little dragon man who first met the taste of it couldn't wait to put the narrow bottle mouth to his mouth.
"Don't want to live anymore?" Lu Yingying pushed away Lu Xiu's hand holding the bottleneck, and the young man trembled, so that he couldn't break the bottle by mistake. Without saying a word, the girl snatched the bottle and turned it upside down to the ground, but what flowed down for a while was not a liquor, but a large drop of resinous gelatin. The colloids showed a strange brownish-red color in the cold light, exuding a seductive aroma of wine, "Even ordinary white water may be poisonous if it is left for hundreds of years, God knows how the wine in the primeval period was made?" If you take a sip, you're going to die here in a daze. โ
Lu Xiu put down the other bottle of wine in his hand and avoided it like a plague and hid away from it. He didn't want to be the only hunter in the entire challenge festival to die because of greed, and if this was written in the commission record, I am afraid it would become the laughing stock of the entire Golden Feather City.
"There's no identification, there's no record of the boat, so I don't know if the people on this boat are too lazy or too cautious." Zhuang Du rummaged through the pile of debris in boredom, and there was nothing else to gain except to raise a stream of floating ash, "The dozens of bedrooms here must be like this, we are wasting our time." โ
"Not necessarily." After taking care of the little dragon man, the scribe looked around, her hand resting on a wall, her fingertips running over the rough texture of the wooden board, "Senior Bai, please take a look here." โ
Bai Bei held up the illuminator in his hand high, and everyone stepped forward to see the complex textures on the board wall, which were clearly artificially carved. The girl carefully recognized, "It looks like a simple ship structure diagram, with only the hierarchy and cabin structure marked, for the crew to find their way." โ
"There is no inscription on it, how do you know?" Lu Xiu asked.
"In the primeval period, writing education was not widespread, and a large number of crew members were illiterate, and even if they carved words, they could not read them." Lu Yingying smiled, "Look, this is the top floor where we are, each compartment is probably a sailor's room, and the largest one at the bow of the ship should be the command room." โ
"The ladder should be the passage between the floors, right? Lu Xiu's hand also pressed against the wall.
"It should be what Miss Lu said, the cabin where weapons are stored." Bai Bei said thoughtfully, "This amount...... I'm afraid there are more than a dozen of them. โ
"That's not as good as the bottom layer." Lu Yingying rolled her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised, "If you don't have any information about the fierce treasure, I would suggest that the two seniors go to the lower level to have a look." โ
"What's on the bottom?" Bai Bei asked.
"I don't know, but nothing is strange." The girl said with a smirk, "In order to stabilize the ship, the bottom layer is usually loaded with the heaviest things, and the crew's food and water, heavy crossbows and other bulk equipment are possible. But if you're sailing across the ocean to the New World, you're probably going to have a lot of gold, silver, and jewelryโyou know, buying the natives, building temporary dwellings, all of which require a lot of capital. Whoever went to great lengths to come to the New World would not allow themselves to beg here for a living. Even if you can't find the treasure, it's worth the trip to find a mountain of gold coins. โ
"Treasure?" Lu Xiu's mouth was wide open, and the delusion of a teenager was already ready to move.
"I'd like to go to the command room and see if all the paper material is gone, there may still be clues as to why the ship sank." The girl said to Bai Bei and Zhuang Du, "What are the plans of the two seniors?" โ
"I'll go to the bottom and investigate." Bai Bei said, "The sooner the murderous treasure is destroyed, the sooner order can be restored to this area." โ
"Then I'll try my luck at the arsenal on the lower level, if I look for it separately, the efficiency can be higher." Zhuang Du also nodded and said.
"Looks like we're going to part from here." Lu Yingying sighed lightly, as if she was relieved.
"What about me?" Lu Xiu still dreams of discovering treasures.
"Follow me, of course!" The girl's mouth pursed, "Do you want me, a girl who doesn't know how to hunt, to explore this dark ship by myself?" โ
