Outside the porthole.

The sound of the rain has not ceased since the privateering fleet left Port Hatrafa.

The Golden Sea, where the weather becomes more and more extreme during the rainy season, is a bit unfriendly for ships.

During this season, only merchant ships and military warships of sufficient tonnage dared to go to sea, and the open sea had become a no-go zone for small ships, and in case of bad luck in the event of strong winds and waves, there was an immediate danger of capsizing.

Of course.

This is not a problem at all for the "Daystar", which has already reached 2,340 tons, as well as the other three fifth-class ships in the fleet or the same kind of pirate ships "Gladiator", "Wrestler", and "Iron Bone".

At this time, there were only two people in the captain's room, Evan and Milan.

They were staring at the "Ocean Treasure Storm Bottle" in the middle of the table, which was constantly changing, and the two round glass bottles next to it, which were somewhat similar in appearance to the storm bottle.

It was raining moderately in the Storm Bottle as in the outside world, and it was accompanied by a level 3 sea breeze, so it was clear that the rain would not change much in the next twelve hours.

It's no surprise that this treasure can predict the weather.

But the strange thing is that the two round bottles containing the solution next to them are also changing!

The precipitated and hazy liquid in the bottle coexisted, and on a "Phenomenon and Weather Comparison Table" next to it, the pre-drawn icon showed that this situation also represented wind and rain.

And the most amazing thing is that the degree of precipitation and haze in it is exactly the same as the law of change of wind and rain in the storm bottle!

Apparently for unknown reasons, some kind of magical connection has been made between several bottles.

"What's going on?"

Repeatedly comparing the two glass bottles and the storm bottle next to him, Milan's face was full of disbelief.

Can man-made things achieve the magical effect of the Ocean Treasure?, can the unique absoluteness of the Ocean Treasure be replicated?

"I don't know.

I just made two glass bottles out of alchemy solution and placed them with the Storm Bottle.

Then one day I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Originally only reacting to outside temperatures, they have developed some kind of occult connection with the Storm Bottle.

It is no longer limited to the temperature as an element, but also has the effect of indicating the weather. ”

Evan was also a little confused.

I just follow the recipe of the modern world, and make a toy-like "weather forecast bottle" made of distilled water, ethanol, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride and camphor, and I really have the ability to predict the weather.

And after observing these days, the accuracy of the comparison table is extremely high, which is really incredible.

However, if you speculate, you also know that this is most likely the unknown hidden ability possessed by the "Ocean Treasure Storm Vial".

"So you need to do another spiritual detection to determine what is going on with these artifacts.

How reliable is it and how long does it last?

If it is really practical, then even in the New World in May-October hurricane season.

Our privateers can also have a stronger confidence to go to sea, greatly reducing the possibility of being in distress at sea due to extreme celestial phenomena. ”

It's a bit incredible, but it's true.

Milan has confirmed that the seemingly frivolous Storm Bottle is hiding a secret that he was unable to uncover in the first place.

If we can make this bottle in large quantities, which can accurately predict the weather, it will play an extraordinary role for ordinary ships in the fleet and even for the shipping industry!

However, when he set up ritual candles on the table, dripped in laurel essential oil, and activated his spiritual detection with all his might.

But it came to a mixed result.

The man-made Storm Bottle does have the same effect as the Secret Treasure Storm Bottle, and can function independently in different areas.

This magical power is most likely due to the Storm Bottle's infestation of "similar items".

If a bottle of water or a solid crystal ball with no change is placed next to it, this invisibility ability will not work.

Secondly, the effect of these "artificial storm bottles" can only last for half a year, and after half a year, they need to be placed with the Ocean Treasure to "charge" for half a month before they can be used again.

And the most important thing is that there is an upper limit to the power of the Sea Treasure, and this infecting ability can only last for a maximum of about fifteen at the same time.

"This is already good, although there is no way to promote it on a large scale, but in terms of the scale of our dragoons, it is completely enough in a short period of time.

I'll hurry up and make a few more, at least so that the privateers inside the Dragoons can be used. ”

Ai Wen didn't think there was any pity, even if he could only make fifteen "artificial storm bottles", it would make the price of the storm bottle, which was originally a bit chicken, instantly soar.

Only a true seafarer knows how important an accurate weather forecast is to seafaring.

Especially in the face of sudden extreme convective weather, such as heavy precipitation, thunderstorms and strong winds, hail, tornadoes, etc.

Being able to predict twelve hours in advance almost means that a boatload of lives has been recovered.

"By the way, it seems that the appointed time has arrived. ”

At this time, Milan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and reminded Aven.

Hearing this, Evan waved his hand and put away the three bottles on the table and snapped his fingers.

Smack-

The spiritual barrier that shrouded the "cursed oil painting" on the wall of the captain's room had quietly dissipated.

At this time, the picture in the oil painting also changed synchronously.

The flute-shaped ship, which was sinking, gradually turned into a middle-aged wealthy businessman with curly hair wearing rings on his hands and wearing classical clothes that were worth a lot of money at first glance.

Looking at the two people sitting in the captain's room, Evan and Milan, the rich merchant not only did not show the joy of being able to come out and breathe like the other personalities, but seemed a little impatient:

"I heard that nosy guy from Katarov, you guys have something to ask me for?

Everyone's time is precious, so show me the benefits first.

I've only counted the treasures in the treasury twice today, and I have to count them three more times before I can sleep!"

At this time, what existed in the "Cursed Oil Painting" was a "demon in the painting" based on the personality of the wizard Simpson and secondary to countless victims.

Crazy and strange old men, erudite aristocratic artists, rich businessmen who regard money as their lives, clumsy thieves... After so many days of observation, the total number of personalities recorded by Evan is probably around thirty-three.

After a long exchange with Katalov.

Evan has learned that among many personalities, the wealthy businessman Clifford, who regards money as his life, has also gained control of the Simpson's Shadow Treasury with his strong obsession with wealth.

And he's obviously the "fool" that Aven needs for the wizard's treasury!

Now hearing what he said as soon as he came out, Evan knew that he had indeed found the right person, and he didn't even need to say anything to him.

Spread out the palm of his hand to reveal the three shining golden lions in his palm, and in the eyes of the wealthy businessman Clifford in the painting, they had already thrown them towards the oil painting.

"Ah, the gold! it's all mine!"

He didn't care at all about Aiwen's inexplicable move, and at this time he only had three gold coins tumbling in the air in his eyes.

In the middle of the painting, a stubby finger with a ring stretched out and swiped into the air, and in an instant, a black hole opened on the surface of the painting.

It happened to swallow all the three golden lions that flew in line, and then immediately closed and disappeared.

The wealthy merchant Coliforma was overjoyed with his hands in his hands.

The devil knows how long it has been since there has been no new treasure in his treasury during the time he has been underwater and unable to move.

"Hah! This was given to me by you, and I didn't grant you any requests. Goodbye, stupid boys!"

After laughing at the two of them, Clifford disappeared directly, and the picture gradually changed back to the original shipwreck.

Collifers, who were anxious to appreciate the new wealth, didn't notice at all that when he opened the treasure house and collected the three gold coins, a slender black shadow had already entered the treasure house first.

I don't even know that what Evan wants him to do is to open the door of the treasure house so that Kaka can enter...

"It's said to be looking for a fool, but this... This guy is stupid, isn't he? It's so easy to succeed?"

Milan was stunned to see the performance of this Clifford from the sidelines.

Evan shrugged his shoulders beside him, and he didn't know why such a greedy guy who "died for the sake of small profits" hadn't been killed by other personalities.

Maybe you don't need three gold coins, you can achieve the same effect with one copper folle...

(Clifford: It's insulting, at least... Two!)

"Wait a minute, Kaka should be soon..."

Before Evan could finish speaking, a dark shadow had re-emerged from the painting, turning into a large black lizard.

"Click... Click..."

Shaking his head and tail, he happily shouted to Evan for credit.

Apparently the stealing has been successful!

Evan rubbed his hands together as he had done just now, eager to see what valuable collection the ancient wizard of the Shadow School, Simpson, had.

Putting his hand on Kaka's body, with its cooperation, it has already spread its spiritual power into its shadow vault.

"Wow, he's a rich man!"

The abundance of spell-casting materials for the School of Shadows and Dark Witchcraft is secondary, and although it is invaluable now, it is no longer too much for the wealthy Aven.

But when he saw a crystal bottle surrounded by a pile of treasures, his heart instantly raced.

I couldn't help but think about it, and I took it out of the Shadow Vault of Kaka.

After seeing it, Ka Ka lying on the ground was a little restless, both wanting to get close and a little afraid.

"This is..."

The bottle was two-thirds filled with a black-red viscous liquid.

But in the eyes of Evan and Milan, it seems to have liquefied into a shadow of substance, and even after three hundred years, it still blooms with dazzling transcendent aura in the spiritual vision.

Apparently still amazingly alive!

Glancing at each other, the two said in unison in disbelief:

"Shadow Dragon's Blood!"
