Chapter 479: The Treasure Tree and King Mansa Musa's Treasure Chest
In the early morning, the smoke of the campfire curls.
Olivia, curled up in Aven's arms, woke up and looked up to see her boyfriend with his head sideways and didn't know how long he had been staring at her. Although the girl was outgoing, her face was still slightly blushing and she greeted:
"Good morning, Aven!"
The accommodation conditions under the ban of the "magic pocket" are indeed simple, but the girl sleeps quite peacefully, at least her heart is solid and reassuring.
Olivia believes that as long as Evan is by her side, let alone a desert island in the wild, even if the sky falls, this man will help her resist.
Also have the ability to withstand.
"Good morning, Hirsie!"
Smiling slightly, he lifted the wide captain on his body, and the two people who slept in clothes last night officially got up.
Even if his arm was pillowed by the girl all night, the strong physical fitness of the third order made Ai Wen not feel numb or sore at all, which was enough to make ordinary people envious.
Regardless of whether the girl is really weak and can't help it, and whether she needs her own personal protection, Ai Wen knows that if she really chooses to sleep separately last night, she really deserves to be without a wife for the rest of her life.
Help Olivia smooth the wrinkles on her skirt, help her put on the crystal shoes that have temporarily lost the witchcraft effect, and hastily wash up after breakfast.
Hiss –
At this time, the "Thorn Crowned Sea Serpent", which had reversed its attitude and was extremely docile, had already put its flat head on the beach, allowing the two people holding hands to walk up calmly, and the smaller one jumped on Aiwen's shoulder.
"Pippi Snake, let's go. ”
If the wisdom is enough, the "Thorn Crown Sea Snake" will probably complain in his heart:
'I suspect that you are disrespecting me by giving me this name, even though I have no proof...'
Whoosh!Whoosh...
Then, the 30-meter-long giant snake rushed up to the island in the form of a sea monster, with reefs, grass and trees, low hills... In front of it, it was as if it did not exist at all, and the strong wind was rushing like flying.
Last night, even the two of them, who were deeply affected by the "blood of the adventurer", were not so reckless as to rush to set off overnight as soon as they heard the news of the treasure.
Since it is a treasure artificially stored here, it may have a guardian power that it does not know about in addition to the "Thorn Crown Sea Serpent", although this is not very likely.
Because for something like a treasure, unless it is placed under the nose of the peak powerhouse, others can see it but can't get it, the best way is to put it in a place where no one can find it, and any guard force can only play the role of embellishment.
After all, no matter how tightly designed the level is, there are people who can clear it without injury. As long as it is discovered, it is possible to conquer it!
At least in Aven's opinion, the eight forbidden effects on the island have been good enough, even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net? A "Thorn Crowned Sea Serpent" with the cooperation of the forbidden demon effect is also enough to deal with.
If it wasn't a coincidence when the shadows jumped? Even if you pass by outside the island, you will never find it.
All the way.
Soon they came to the side of a valley, where Aven finally found traces of human activity? Is that a footprint so faint that it's almost invisible? Look at the freshness of the traces at least half a year ago.
The subtropics are lush with vegetation, and what other subtle traces of it from the sea? It has long been wiped out by the forces of nature itself.
The snakeskin didn't stop here, and swam straight into the valley? Eventually, it came to a halt in front of an unremarkable weathered rock wall.
"Is this it?"
Looking at that tall, rough and even mossy rock wall? Whether using the "data-based field of view" or the "low-pressure pulse" observation, Ai Wen did not find the slightest anomaly.
If you do search according to the original plan, you may not be able to find this place even if you turn the whole pirate over it.
At that time, can you really only venture out to sea, through the whirlpool belt and the broken waves? Discover where the borders of this forbidden area are.
In the meaning of "Thorn Crowned Sea Serpent"? The treasure that humans had transported was behind the rock face, and what was in it was beyond its grasp.
Bang –
Pulling Olivia back a little further, he ordered Pip, who had been gloriously transformed from a watchman snake into a two-and-five-boy boy, to sweep the rock wall with a steel tail.
The camouflage on the surface is stronger than the defense, after receiving a heavy blow with a muffled sound? A huge black cavern has been revealed on the rock face.
The smoke cleared.
"No traps, click-click-pathfinder? Pippi stays behind. ”
Leave Pipsqueak, who is too big and doesn't have the ability to change shapes freely, outside.
Two people and a wurm through a strip without any decorations? The rock tunnel still retains rough chisel marks, and no polishing work has been done.
After a multi-pronged double-check to confirm that there are no physical traps? Evan pushed open the same rough stone gate at the end of the tunnel.
Stepping over a high stone threshold that is obviously used to prevent rats? Behind it is a stone chamber that resembles a buffer room in a dust-proof laboratory? There are a number of sacks of quicklime piled up in the stone chamber, and on the wall opposite the stone chamber is a second stone door separating the inside and outside.
Seeing this layout that was clearly for physical protection, Evan looked forward to what was coming next.
Pest-proof, moisture-proof, air-proof... The latter things are a little expensive, and may not be the gold and silver treasures that were originally imagined.
However, it doesn't wait for two people to take a closer look.
"Ah——!h
With a sharp roar, two human knights with illusory bodies and heavy armor in the style of Cyrius had already broken free from the opposite door, and swooped towards the two of them with a biting yin wind.
They were greeted by a blazing blue-white electric light.
Bang!
Ai Wen slowly withdrew his right hand that was still filled with electric light, although it was two powerful evil spirits that might have reached the limit of the second order, but after this blow, there was not even a grain of evil spirit dust left in place.
Push open the last door, and...
In the dark space, a golden treasure chest was generously placed in front of them.
"Is it that simple?"
"Is it easy?"
"Is it easy?"
"Single?"
"What?"
There was no warning of the spirit, and after confirming that there was no danger, after muttering to himself, Ai Wen was about to step forward to check, when he suddenly heard a continuous echo, and immediately raised his hand to release the arc of electricity swimming in the air.
I saw the wider space in the darkness behind the treasure chest, and I also saw what was in the dark space.
It's better to say it's a treasure trove than a large warehouse.
There was nothing else, just piles of wood, mountains of "iron oak" that had been processed, and it was not ordinary iron oak, but a dazzling and extraordinary material!
"It's... This is the treasure tree!"
As the manager of the "Treasure Tree Bay", Evan has certainly seen what the real treasure tree looks like, and even personally admired the rough work temporarily stored in Tedadisburg.
He was very sure that this was the extraordinary material from the "Treasure Tree Bay" - the Treasure Tree.
Stomp Tread...
Evan stepped forward in disbelief, stroking the sparkling wood, he almost thought he was dreaming.
This is because when wood is wet, it expands, and when sunlight evaporates, it shrinks, even if it is a transcendent material.
No matter what kind of wood is in the process of expanding and shrinking for a long time, whether it has been treated with antiseptic treatment or not, it will cause deformation and cracking.
It must be stored in a specific way.
In order to prevent the growth of fungi and insects, it is necessary to reduce the moisture content of logs to 25% or less, and to reduce the dryness and cracking of the wood, measures such as rough peeling (bast preservation), shading, and overall waxing are taken.
In addition, the ventilation system is obviously designed by famous artists, although it is on the island, the wind that comes in is neither too humid but not too dry, and the natural environment is used to create a physical condition that is like a high-standard laboratory constant temperature and humidity.
This ensures the proper preservation of these precious and extraordinary materials.
Between the electric sparkles in my mind.
For the first time, Ai Wen had already thought of the goods that the Steel Knight had mysteriously gone to sea with three large cargo ships to transport all the way south.
At that time, the south of Cape Agulhas had not yet entered the winter storm season, and it was entirely possible to come here and take the ship's materials.
As for the vortex, it is not difficult to pass through, there are two possibilities: the first vortex belt only appears in certain seasons, and the second steel knight has the means to cross the vortex belt.
At least Evan knew that the Thorn Crown Sea Serpent possessed a certain ability of [Flat Waves], and was born to calm whirlpools and giant waves.
"Then why didn't the Syrius people get their share from the 'Treasure Tree Bay' and return home, but stay here nearby?"
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't figure it out for a while, but preliminary visual results showed that these raw materials were enough to build the world's largest first-class ship, and there was still a surplus.
You must know that a first-class ship built of ordinary materials also needs 50,000 golden lions, and a fourth-class ship that can be called a battleship only needs about 13,000 golden lions, which shows the big gap between them.
What's more, these are extraordinary materials, which cannot be multiplied by ten on the basis of the price of ordinary wood.
Moreover, all the best quality tree parts here are probably reserves that began after the countries fought for the "Treasure Tree Bay" and Hilius determined the share of fifty percent of the treasure trees.
"Aven, come and see this. The source of the forbidden has been found!"
The girl's voice of surprise suddenly came, and Olivia, who was obviously more interested in the treasure than in a pile of wood, had already checked the golden treasure chest.
It's not really a treasure, but it's a magical treasure of the sea!
The information is open-ended, and the effect is clear at a glance.
【Treasure of the Sea: King Mansa Musa's Treasure Chest】
Effect: In addition to being able to freely open and close [Forbidden Demon Barrier], [Immune Divination], [Hidden Trace], [Direction Confusion], [Blocking Presence], [Forbidden Domain], [Spiritual Isolation], and [Shadow Realm Forbidden].
It can also bind a treasure guardian and two guardian spirits, which can be manipulated in the form of [Secret Contract], and [Secret Contract] can be a token, a piece of music, or a sentence, all of which can make Guardians obey unconditionally.
King Mansa Musa was a famous monarch of the Southern Continent a hundred years ago, a devout follower of the "Bright Starry Night", and controlled 50% of the world's gold production capacity at that time.
Legend has it that a worship event with his entourage of 7,000 people caused the price of gold to plummet in Heymar's sphere of influence, and the impact lasted for twenty years.
After Evan checked it, he casually turned off the forbidden ability of this sea treasure.
In an instant, the psychic network was restored, the magic element around him began to be active, and Kaka returned to the shadow, and the "magic pocket" restored its function... All restrictions are gone.
When the ancestor Galliot returned from completing the feat of opening up the route, he suddenly encountered a storm and followed behind a huge "Thorn Crown Sea Serpent" under the guidance of the "Golden Compass", and successfully escaped.
The "Thorn Crowned Sea Serpent" was also regarded by Galiot as his lucky star and guardian saint, and finally became the family crest.
Last time, the steel knight who was about to come here and take all the accumulated ship materials was blocked halfway. Because it was killed too quickly, I didn't get a specific address.
And now, under the leadership of another "Thorn Crown Sea Serpent", Ai Wen has found this batch of "treasure trees" that are enough to build legendary warships.
I can only say: "The treasure should be destined for me." ”
When the forbidden effect wore off, Aven's first reaction was:
"Click, don't keep a piece!"
After Kaka transformed into a shadow wurm, the volume of the [Shadow Vault] was no smaller than this cave, and even if it would have the disadvantage of shadow element erosion, it would be no problem to store it for a short time.
Hmmm-
The shadows spread out, and the entire cave was engulfed in swamp-like shadows.
