"Thank you for the compliment, Raphael. I have met your father, Viscount Castello, a few times, and you look exactly like your father. Antonio laughed.

"Yes, my father always said that I was the most like him of all the brothers." Raphael also laughed.

"You can see that your father must love you very much. How could he be willing to let you go to sea? Antonio asked.

"This is my dream and my pursuit. My father was not willing to force me to give up, he wanted me to voluntarily go back and inherit the family business. Raphael explained.

"I see. As an elder, I am willing to support young people in pursuing their careers, and if there is anything you need help with, just let me know. Antonio said generously.

"Thank you, Uncle Antonio. In fact, I do have a request. "Raphael beats the snake with a stick.

"Oh, you say." Antonio is not surprising either,

"I don't know if you've heard of the City of the Deep." Raphael asked.

Antonio's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said slowly: "What are you asking about there?" ”

Raphael chuckled in his heart, what is the connection between the Antonio family and the city of the deep?

But now that he had already said it, he could only continue to ask, and he thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I got a piece of information that there may be treasures in the Deep Sea City, which will help me pass through the Dead Sea." ”

Antonio's face did not stretch, and he asked, "What treasure?"

Raphael shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. ”

He wasn't lying, the "Blessing of Nereus" was just a name, and the specific shape and pattern were not recorded in Nemo's journal.

"Well, in this case, you can sleep with me for the night today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Antonio's expression was like asking, but his tone was unmistakable.

"Ah, then bother you. But I have to talk to my crew. Rafael said.

"Okay, you go first. I happen to have some business to attend to, so let's have a few more drinks in the evening. Antonio waved off.

Raphael exited the reception room and made his way to the antechamber.

"How?" Jack asked.

"Viscount Antonio stayed with me for one night, and I suspect he should have some kind of connection to the city of the deep." Raphael whispered.

"Do you want to—" Jack winked at Liu Zheng and Wolfheart.

"It shouldn't be, Viscount Antonio and my father have some friendship, so let's stay for one night and wait and see what happens." Raphael shook his head.

"The friendship of you nobles is no different from that of papyrus." Jack scoffed.

But he didn't say anything more, after all, Raphael was the captain.

After a night of nothing, Liu Zheng and the three of them went to Antonio's mansion to pick up Raphael.

There was no such thing as a cup of poisoned wine or a glass of smashing, Raphael came out intact, and even his face was quite ruddy.

"I drank too much last night." Raphael explained as he looked at Jack, who was smiling weirdly.

"Yes, yes, we believed. Let's get down to business. Jack interrupted him maliciously.

Raphael gave Jack a helpless look, and after the relationship became acquainted, Jack began to show his bad nature.

Liu Zheng and the heart of the wolf he didn't dare to provoke, so he liked to make fun of him.

"Viscount Antonio knows the approximate location of the Deep Sea City, but he has one condition." Raphael got down to business.

"On what terms?" Liu Zheng asked.

"To the east of the Summers Islands, there is a sunken treasure ship. He asked us to fish up a chest of gold and give it to him. Rafael said.

"Why didn't he go and fish it himself?" Jack wondered.

The area is all the territory of the Antonio family, and you don't have to wait for them to come if you want to catch it.

"It is said that it is because the ships sent to salvage before are all missing." Raphael said.

As soon as the words fell, the four of them looked at each other with different expressions.

"It seems that this guy is really uneasy and kind." Jack snorted.

"Whatever his purpose is, we can only say yes." Raphael said helplessly.

"Hmph, if he dares to play any tricks, let our Mars and Athena tear down his town." Jack didn't look like he was in trouble.

Mars is the god of war in Roman mythology, one of the twelve main gods of Rome. He was the most important of the gods worshipped by the Roman legions, second only to Jupiter in importance.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war in ancient Greek mythology, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus and one of the three goddesses of Mount Olympus.

Jack compared Liu Zheng and Wolf Heart to these two gods of war, and the level of compliment was already quite high.

But Liu Zheng could see at a glance that he was just joking, and kicked his ass.

Jack smiled and didn't take it to heart.

The world's Jack Sparrow is more cheerful and lively, much easier to get along with than the original Caribbean World.

However, their love of freedom and seafaring nature remained the same, and Raphael promised him a reward for redeeming his ship when he had completed his mission to explore the New World.

Therefore, his enthusiasm for work is still very high.

Back on the ship, Raphael asked Jenas to buy some salvage equipment and headed in the direction Antonio had said.

This time I was lucky, and I only encountered a strong wind on the way, and I arrived at the location of the wreck.

The work of salvaging the wreck was not handed over to Liu Zheng and Wolfheart.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and diving is not a matter of large lung capacity or good health, but you still have to let professionals come.

There were exactly two sailors on board the Legend, who were skilled in the water before they became full-time sailors, salvaging sponges and shells.

After observing for a while and confirming that there were no undercurrents or sharks nearby, the two divers put on their diving gear, sat on the anchor, and sank into the sea.

The development of diving equipment has gone through a long time, at the beginning of diving equipment is a rope tied to the waist, once the pearl diver has a lack of breath underwater, he must immediately shake the long rope to let the person on the boat know, and the person on the boat must quickly pull the pearl diver out of the water.

Due to the deep growth of pearl oysters, it is necessary to surface for a change of air every time they dive in a short time, and it is nothing in vain, and many times they will die due to suffocation, being swept away by undercurrents, encountering sharks, etc.

The inability to breathe at all times in the sea is the most difficult problem for pearl divers to overcome, and in order to solve this problem, the protective equipment for diving has been improved.

Since the Tang Dynasty, pearl divers in the South China Sea have begun to change from diving naked to diving in protective clothing and snorkels.

Protective clothing is a tight-fitting garment made of cotton cloth or cowhide, and there is also a hood, which can cover the entire head when worn, leaving only the eyes, nose, and mouth exposed.

The snorkel is a long, hollow tin tube with flares at both ends, one end covering the nose and mouth and the other end protruding from the water.

Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" of the Ming Dynasty clearly recorded an improved breathing and diving equipment: "The bent ring air pipe is made of tin, and its original defect covers the mouth and nose, so that the breath can be breathed comfortably, and the ears are not covered with cooked skin." ”

In this world, this diving equipment has spread to the West and is as widespread as the fire fold.

In addition, Western craftsmen also invented a breathing apparatus similar in appearance to a water bladder, but coated with a special mineral coating that greatly improved the seal.

When the diver is short of breath, the airbag can be opened to replenish oxygen.

Although the air storage of the airbag is not high and it is not convenient to use, it also greatly improves the efficiency of the diver's ventilation.

The sea is very clean, the water is as transparent as glass, and everyone can clearly see the process of the two divers sinking when they stand on the boat.

In order to ensure the safety of the divers, Raphael bought two ropes mixed with bark spider silk at a high price.

Bark spider silk is a local specialty, and it is extremely tough, and a bark spider silk as thick as a needle can lift a 100-kilogram iron block.

However, the processing process is very complicated, so it can only be produced in small batches, and Raphael still relied on Antonio's face to buy these two.

The two divers descended further and further until they were no longer visible.

After a while, both ropes shook slightly.

"Great, they found the wreck." Raphael said happily that this was a signal agreed in advance.

Pull once to find the wreck, pull twice to pull them up, and pull hard to mean that they are in danger.

"No, pull up!" Flio suddenly shouted.

A large ball of rope that was still left was quickly pulled into the sea, straight like a tug-of-war!
