129 - Merchant Marine Gems
"Alas!" Wei Er casually conjured up a few torches, "You can light it with a wave, you wait first, what if there is no oxygen down there?" ”
"Oxygen?" Hierro took the torch, "What's that?" So saying, he ignored Ver and walked straight inside.
"There's no problem down here, Will, let's go down too...... I'll take Pease, and we'll split up and look for it. After speaking, Boris took Pease's hand and walked down.
Standing on the deck, Wille looked at the quiet waters and fog around him, shivered, lit the torch in his hand, and walked down.
Although the air is a little humid, there is no smell of rotten wood here, on the contrary, a faint woody aroma comes over, mild, gentle, and seemingly absent.
The torch illuminated a small area in the cabin, and the light in Boreth's hand illuminated not far away. And in the depths, with a few moving sounds, came the voice of Hierro. "It's all flooded in the back...... Well, it's blocked, it's these rooms here. Let's start looking. ”
"Captain Hierro, if you see something that looks like a log, please keep an eye out for it." Boris's voice came.
Boom! The door panel was pushed open by force, "Good! Hierro's words came with a churning sound.
"Bores, look inside, there's something painted on the door." Pease, who followed Boris, also said a word. "Huh? Great, this is the library. Let's go in and see. ”
With the sound of a knock on the door...... Again...... Boom! Boris also entered the door.
"Okay...... They're all watching over there, and I'm watching it here. Vere went in the opposite direction, and this side was upward, leading to the highest point above the water in the bow.
Within two steps, Wille found a wooden wall, with a wooden door in the center, and looked left and right, and found that on the top of the wooden door, there was a shrunken symbol carved on the bow of the ship.
"Look at this, it seems to be an important place for the ship...... "Wille guessed correctly, the one that can carve the Chamber of Commerce logo on the door is usually a place, the captain's room.
He pushed the door, as if it was locked from the inside, or something had pressed it from the inside, and this downward slope could not be kicked open by Veil in a forceful and violent way. What if something slips out inside...... As Ver was thinking, he pulled the door slightly, and it opened outward. The wooden door hung outside, swaying back and forth, making a screeching sound of latches.
"Oh...... The door is open outward...... "Vere looked at the door, and then looked behind him, but fortunately no one saw his appearance, and the room behind the door was very dark, and Vere took a deep breath, held the torch, held the door, and walked into the house.
"Lampholders, cabinets...... Table ......" Wille picked up a fork from the large table in the center, and it was slammed into the thick red tablecloth, with several holes in the fine wood table.
The red silk cloth was already mostly hanging on the floor, and as soon as Vere pulled out the fork, the entire tablecloth slid off the table. Some plates and other cutlery were piled up in the lowest corner of the room.
The chairs appeared to be anchored to the floor, but some of them still fell to the ground, and the legs of the chairs had punctured holes in the planks of the floor.
When Wiel looked closer, he saw that the floor was actually a double plank.
Wiel went first to the corner where the plates were piled up, and there was a shelf of 'candlesticks'...... It's just that the light source is the kind of lampstone. The broken plates were piled up in the corner, and Weir flipped through them, and was suddenly stunned. "Huh? A key? A brass key was buried at the bottom of the pile, and Weir took it out, "Looks like there's still a lock in this room." …… Hmm~ Where will it be? ”
Wiel put the keys in his pocket, crutched the side of the boat, and pushed himself up. Bang dang! One of the frames fell off and smashed into the crumbs of the plate.
"Oh! Oh my God~" Will took a closer look, only to find that the picture had blurred, "Huh? How did it feel as if something had just happened? ”
"Cabinet...... Let me see...... Wine? "Wiel opened a cabinet and found bottles neatly stacked inside, but it was covered with dust." Not...... It's good stuff. Vere uncorked the bottle and sniffed it gently, revealing a pure, fruity aroma. After thinking about it, he took out two bottles and put them in his backpack.
"Hmm~ where do I need the key?" Veil searched the room, but couldn't find a place to use the key.
At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door. "Boy, did you find anything?" Captain Hierro walked in.
"I didn't find anything, just a pile of garbage, could it be that all the valuables here have sunk to the bottom?" Will is still looking, "What about you, what did you find?" ”
"Gunpowder, a lot of gunpowder. I really don't understand, why is there a lot of gunpowder in this ship? But fortunately, it didn't get wet. ”
"Oh, by the way, there's some alcohol there." Ver pointed to the cupboard, then ripped off the cloth that was fixed to the bed at the top, and knocked on it, and there was nothing like a secret door on the bed. "You found gunpowder in the back? A merchant ship with gunpowder? ”
"It's not unusual to bring some, but they have three full rooms! …… Oh?! This is...... It's a great wine! Hierro opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of wine, Hierro couldn't wait to pull off the cork, wiped the dust from the mouth of the bottle with his hand, and looked around, "At this time, there will be a cup......" Hierro's eyes first looked at the table, then found the broken cup in the corner, looked at the painting that fell on the ground, and rubbed his eyes, "Forget it, enjoy it first." He then tilted his head and poured the drink into his mouth.
"Hahaha! That's great! Hierro leaned back against the cupboard in revrieve, one foot on the chair, and watched as Wer banged on the bed.
"Boy, what are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a box with a lock or something." Wiel said as he searched for it, holding the key behind his shoulder and looking at it, "This key was found in this room, and there should be a lock that can be opened by it." But I couldn't find the lock. ”
Hierro looked at the key in Will's hand, "Well~ it's not a sea ship...... Is there anything else you haven't looked for? Obviously, it also piqued Hierro's interest.
"I've looked for it all...... Even the dark grid has thought about it. ”
Hierro's eyes rolled, "No, there's still a place you haven't seen." ”
"Where?"
"Here." Hierro kicked his chair, "There's a mezzanine down there." ”
Wille suddenly said, "What you said makes sense, I'll try." ”
——
Sure enough, after lifting the plank under the chair, a space about the size of a box appeared in front of the two of them, "I thought this cabin was a two-story plank." ”
"It's really good to hide." Hierro also laughed, "However, it seems that the owner of this ship will enjoy it more." ”
In the middle of the mezzanine there was a half-sized chest, from which Ver took it out.
A keyhole is facing the shape of the key. "Open it and see?" "Open it and take a look."
Vere took out the key, laid the box flat, reached into the keyhole, turned, click!
Will put his hand on the lid of the box and calmed down, "Hierro, what do you think will be in here?" ”
"Gems, I think they should be gems." Hierro pressed one of his fingers against the box, "I told you in advance, I can say that half of the gems in this are my ......"
"Thirty percent." "Fifty percent" and "forty percent", and some of them will belong to Boruisi. "Hahaha, you're also a greedy guy...... Deal...... Who told you to find the key. "Deal."
Slipping the torch into the gap between the legs of the chair, Vere pushed hard against the lid and opened it, and Veil saw a light illuminate the darkness and come out of the chest.
Hierro looked into the box, where Wiel's hand was on the lid of the box, his expression incredulous. And the painting next to it is still standing quietly.
