Chapter 109: The Tricky Ship
"Boss Tan, maybe you didn't notice, it took us less than 2 days to complete this task, so we can complete our treasure exploration task in the remaining part of this task time, so that when we enter the next mission, the time is also appropriate. Lao Wang coughed a few times in embarrassment and explained to Tan Liang.
Tan Liang patted his head and suddenly realized that he had always acted alone, and he had never paid attention to the task time, so he didn't expect it to be a big deal for a while, but he was clicked by Lao Wang, and he naturally understood.
Boss Tan simply stretched out his hand and clicked a few times, and a blue light curtain appeared, according to the provisions of the contract, he officially and completely shared this world exploration mission with the invincible uncle team, and he had just shown it to the three of Lao Wang before, so Mary and Takenaka knew the approximate location of this mission, but they didn't know the details of it.
"The Invincible Uncle Team of the Selector Squad, through the sharing of Tan Liang of the Selector No. 89764, you have obtained the task 'Wealth in the Past'. β
"Quest 'Fortune from the Past': You have obtained a clue from a common tavern chat, and a frustrated old seaman has told you that he once followed the legendary pirate 'Skeleton Viking' in the Baltic Sea, and that he also holds the undiscovered treasure of the 'Skeleton Viking', and based on the clues he provided, you have been able to find this treasure.
Please note that this task is time-sensitive, and after accepting the task, you must also confirm the start task in order to activate the task and proceed with it.
If no decision is made to start the quest, all quest information and clues will be invalid.
In order to activate the mission, the Selector must sail to a special sea area north of Stockholm (detailed coordinates are embedded) in order to be eligible for activating the mission.
After activating the quest, you will have 10 days to complete the quest, if you fail to complete it by the deadline, the quest clue will become invalid again, and you will not be able to accept the quest again permanently. β
"That's it?" Although the introduction of this task is not short, Lao Wang still wondered: "No punishment, no reward, is it just to confirm the start of the task and have a 10-day time limit?"
"No, uncle. Takenaka said with a small face: "Think about it, what are the so-called punishments and rewards for this mission?"
"It's just that if you find the treasure or you don't find the treasure, I don't think it's anything, right?" said Lao Wang.
"It's the difference between finding and not finding a treasure, has Uncle ever seen that there is a deal in random space that is at a loss?" Takenaka asked rhetorically.
"Not really, what's the matter?" Lao Wang asked, but then suddenly realized: "Could it be that the space thinks that as long as we don't get this treasure, it will be a punishment for us?"
"Lao Wang, your reflexes are good, that's what you mean!" Mary walked to Lao Wang's side, leaned comfortably on the table in the captain's room, and generously put her head on Lao Wang's shoulder and said: "I said it more clearly, the space thinks that we get the treasure is enough to meet the reward, and if we miss it, even if it is a punishment, then what is the meaning of this extension?" Mary explained first and then asked, and handed the question to Lao Wang.
"It means that the value of this treasure is much greater than we imagined?!" Lao Wang moved his shoulders away without a trace, made an excited gesture, and slapped his palm on the table, shaking the shrapnel magnifying glass on the table and jumping slightly.
"A few people's brains are spinning really fast, I thought about it for a while before I understood this truth, now that I have said it, I won't hide it from everyone, if I am alone, I really don't have the courage to decide to start this task. Tan Liang smiled.
"Are you going to be bold now?" Lao Wang teased, patted the captain's table and said: " That's it, the white tulips are not heavily damaged in battle, the resources of our two ships are in one place, and there is no need to replenish them, the excess goods are worthless and take up a part of the place, all the enemy sailors are killed, and the soul of Skula is gathered, I will measure the position later, correct the course, the bamboo rudder position, Mary enters the lookout post, Boss Tan is still wronged to be my attendant, and the sailors and Ferdinand, just say that we will go to find an altar of Skula, needless to say very clearly, the more mysterious the better, now they believe in these more than us, they will not be suspicious, just like that, go to workγ β
With a clear direction of progress and the captain's orders, the White Tulip naturally quickly entered the state, and the king also distributed some gold marks captured in this battle to the sailors, so that the motivation of these fur seals was even more sufficient.
The White Tulip first headed south, circled Copenhagen without entering, passed through the island of Bernholm lightly, changed the rudder, changed the sail to catch the wind, and maintained a speed of 11 knots with the blessing of the transplanted Skula bow, and after three days, reached the vicinity of Swedish waters.
Although the month is still early, the temperature in the Baltic Sea has been slightly lower, the average is less than 10 degrees, and the coldest time can reach about 3 degrees.
On the evening of the fourth day, the White Tulip passed through the South Kvarken Strait and came to the designated sea area of the mission, which is the South Kvarken Strait on the border between Finland and Sweden.
However, a few days ago, with the official start of the trial world, the safety factor here is not easy to say, after all, in those legends and stories that all sailors are familiar with, this is the territory of one of the three lords of the Blue Abyss - the North Sea Giant Kraken, and Skulla also said that Kraken is what he did when he met, and he never asked the reason, but now the ships are all coming, only pray that he is the same as Skulla, and he can't come to the human sea for a long time.
Lao Wang and Tan Liang stood on the deck, the days in the northern hemisphere at this time were gradually shortening, when they were in Beihai before, they could enjoy more time of sunshine in the afternoon, but now, the sky is getting dark very fast, the sun has sunk to the sea early, and the curtain of the night full of stars has also been opened.
"Boss Tan, the information given by the old sailor is that it is near here, let's officially activate the mission, right?" said Lao Wang, patting Tan Liang's shoulder.
Tan Liang knew that Lao Wang was respecting him, and he didn't say much, he directly selected the task, and was about to activate the task and start it, when he suddenly heard Mary's voice coming from the lookout post: "Captain, pay attention to the starboard side, there is a ship shadow and lights, it is very weak, but it can be determined that there are other ships on the sea, look at the direction, they are coming towards us." β
Lao Wang reacted quickly, pressed Tan Liang's shoulder, didn't have time to speak, and directly signaled him not to start the task in a hurry.
Wang Mancang had already informed Mary and Takenaka in the team channel before, and made it clear that the mission was about to start, and both of them had promised.
At this time, they will definitely not interrupt this matter because of some unsalty reason, Mary will shout like this, that is, there is really a problem at sea, and she needs to let Tan Liang know it as soon as possible.
There is movement on the dark and cold sea, and it is still so coincidental that it is near him, and there is a great chance of being an enemy.
"Everyone's on alert, it looks like we've got friends again!" shouted the old king, his tone more and more like that of a 17th-century captain.
"Ferdinand controls the deck, Miss Alice, please come down from the lookout post and direct the shelling, my dear nephew, the ship will be. β
The white tulips suddenly bloomed on the dark sea and became busy, but the faintly lit boat saw that it was discovered, but it ignored it, and continued to lean up, not slow.
Takenaka took the opportunity to complete a measurement.
On the opposite ship, there are no pickers!
