"No, I refuse. ”

For a moment, Charlotte felt two eyes full of murderous intent fall on her body, as if they flashed, and disappeared without a trace in the next second.

"Charlotte, it is with great sincerity that we invite you to help us, and you are not doing things for nothing, after we find the secret treasure, we promise to give you a large sum of gold coins, enough for your living expenses for the rest of your life. Wright raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Charlotte.

"Please think about it. I don't know if it's an illusion, the last sentence Wright said hard.

Charlotte felt a little funny in her heart, she actually had to make a promise to a group of outlaws? Wright was really not joking with him?

Even if the two sides make a contract in black and white, it is not necessarily that this group of people will obediently abide by it, I am afraid that after the matter is completed, they will not hesitate to cut off their own heads and stain the entire contract paper with blood.

He asked himself if he was stupid enough to be that point.

However, this also gives Charlotte a big chance.

"You two misunderstood, it's not that I dislike the pay is too small, but the work of interpretation is really not easy to do. Charlotte touched her chin and said in a deep voice, ignoring the expressions of the two of them.

(Don't you like to blow each other?)

(Then I'll blow it too.) ）

"First of all, deciphering the 'ancient characters' on the treasure map requires a large number of historical books as a reference, and it is not an ordinary history book, but a historical book with a background related to the treasure map to have reference significance. Well, you may not know much, for example, the bird totem you just found was actually recorded in the history books, so I know the exact location of this mark. So even if I had a treasure map without a reference to these books, I couldn't do anything about it. ”

"You don't have to..."

"Secondly, it takes a lot of effort and time to decipher these 'ancient texts'. Wright had just opened his mouth when he was immediately interrupted by Charlotte, "I'll be honest with you, this kind of written language is even more difficult and difficult to understand than the dragon language and ancient elven language I know, even if I can read the words, it is extremely difficult to understand the meaning of the words, and it will take a certain amount of time." ”

"Do you think that deciphering these words is as simple as learning a lingua franca?"

(You want to set a time limit for me, right?)

"Of course not, but don't you see—" As if to be right, Wright smiled awkwardly and spoke.

But halfway through the sentence, he was interrupted by Charlotte again, "Finally, it may be the most difficult point for you two to accept. Since it takes a lot of energy and time to interpret the text, I need a very quiet space where I can concentrate on my work. ”

"There must be no distractions, otherwise the day's work will be wasted. ”

Wright was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning. In fact, Morey had consulted countless language books before he set out from the West Pole Continent, including the ancient dragon language and ancient elven language that had long been lost from history, but he could not classify the words on the treasure map as any known language.

Besides, if these 'ancient characters' on the secret treasure map were really so easy to decipher, they wouldn't have been tinkering for months without a clue, wandering around the waters around the Eastern Far Continent.

For a moment, Wright couldn't find the contradiction in Charlotte's words, so he had to frown and ponder, and from time to time his eyes glanced at Captain Morey, who was sitting across from his desk.

"I don't want to make empty promises that will lead to the final disappointment of the two of you, so I'd better spread out these things first. Charlotte said bitterly, as if this was a difficult thing for a strong man.

But he snickered in his heart.

What kind of language is Chinese, doesn't Charlotte have a little B in his heart?

Anyway, this group of people has been studying for so long, and they have not been able to find books related to Chinese, which shows that even the West Pole Continent, which is inhabited by many intelligent races, knows nothing about Chinese. Besides, the Chinese language does not belong to this world, so Charlotte can safely raise the asking price with the two.

The value of a commodity is not determined by the price at which it is marked, but by the value of the commodity itself, and how many people still have a demand for it. In the old world, Charlotte had seen such an advertisement and thought it made sense.

And now Charlotte is just learning and selling, since there is someone who needs it, then he will sit on the ground and raise the price.

"This..."After Charlotte spoke, Wright couldn't help but feel a headache, the three points he said were indeed unrelated to money, that is, no matter how big the reward was, as long as the three points proposed by Charlotte could not be satisfied, the interpretation work could not begin.

(Didn't you try to hit me with gold, I'll tell you that gold is not everything.) ）

"I say, you're not framing us, are you?" said Morey, who had been silent for a long time, in an extremely cold voice.

(As a captain, it's not so easy to deceive.) Thinking of this, Charlotte's heart froze, and she began to concentrate.

He looked at Morey with extremely tenacious eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My little life is in the hands of the two of you, is it possible that I will joke with my own life?"

"But what you said at the 'memorial' back then is a bit of a conflict with what you are proposing now, don't you think so?" Morey narrowed his eyes and said in a cold sarcastic voice.

The implication is that if you can't do it, why should you keep Charlotte alive.

When Charlotte heard this, she stood up and said angrily: "At that time, in order to survive, I had to reveal the things I knew how to interpret. But in the end, without the help of Vice Captain Wright, I would have been buried at sea!"

"Yes, I am indeed able to decipher the words on the treasure map, but you are unwilling to provide any conditions for me to do the interpretation work, please forgive me, you are making it difficult for a strong man! These are 'ancient scripts', not simple lingua franca! Without the conditions I just mentioned, I would not have been able to do it even if you put a scimitar on my neck!"

The boy's loud anger echoed in the quiet study, and Captain Morey stared at Charlotte without saying a word.

After a long time, he used his steel prosthetic leg to remove the tobacco in his mouth, and let out a puff of white smoke, the thick smell of which made Charlotte frown.

"As for books, Charlotte, you don't have to worry. Wright glanced at Morey's movements, as if he had received some hint, and deliberately said: "There are a large number of books stored in a certain cabin on our ship, they are all deliberately 'collected' under the orders of Captain Morey, I think most of them are related to the treasure map, I hope a few of these books can be helpful to you." ”

"Of course, the book collection is several times larger than that of this room. The vice-captain laughed.

When Charlotte heard this, she was a little surprised, a group of pirates actually played to collect books? It seems that Morey and Wright have made full preparations for this secret treasure.

"As for the other two, I think I need to communicate with the captain before we can make a decision. Why don't you go back and wait quietly for our news?"

At this time, Charlotte pretended to be deflated and sat down.

"Well, that's fair. ”

"But I have one last condition. ”
