Chapter 88: The Guardian of the Treasure (Part II)
"Only then, when this corridor, as well as the captain's quarters, will definitely be the weakest in defense, and we will have the opportunity to go to the captain's quarters and escape directly using the catapult device. Charlotte scowled.
"After that, if we are successfully catapulted to the surface of the sea, what will await us after that? ”
"Eagles, as I said before, the 'sea god' has never left this sea area. Charlotte shook her head, "Back to me first, what would you do if you were Morey and faced a god-tier creature who couldn't win head-on?"
Faced with the inexplicable question, the man touched his chin and thought for a while, and said half-puzzledly, "Lure it out of this sea area, enter it again, and escape after directly obtaining the secret treasure?"
"That's right, as long as it's a little more normal, it's going to do it. Even Captain Morey, who has an immortal body, will do this in order to prevent the Fu Lisan from sinking. ”
"But let's suppose again, I mean that if the existence of the 'Sea God' is actually to protect the treasure, then what kind of action will the 'Sea God' do in the face of the Fu Lisan that is approaching the island where the secret treasure is located?"
"Of course it was a mad attack on the ship... But is this possible?" the man became more and more puzzled, "Alphadreid, the god of the sea, is the guardian of the treasure?
"It's just my instincts, my speculation," Charlotte said as she pondered, "Although the Grewin Empire has only been an empire for a short time, before it became an empire, the country of Greven had a fairly long history of kingdoms, at least a thousand years. ”
"And in this thousand years, the kingdom of Craven has not been subjected to any disasters or threats, and has developed and survived on the calm sea..."
“... It wasn't until the appearance of the Duke of the Star Creator that there was a change..."
"And more importantly, when the empire was in trouble, the duke, who was known as a miracle, disappeared..."
“... As the book says, 'the stars never shine'. ”
That's right.
As it says in the book.
The Duke of the Star Creator must have disappeared before the destruction of the Empire, and then suddenly the appearance of the sea god Alfrete ruthlessly destroyed the Empire.
If Poseidon were to destroy the Grewin Empire, it should have acted long before the country became an empire.
Yes, only the traverser has this possibility.
It was he who created the god of the sea, Al Verre.
It was he who destroyed the empire that had given him everything.
But why?
Why did he do it?
Charlotte shook his head, and a sharp headache pulled him back to reality.
(Have you been overusing your brain lately?) secretly laughed at himself in his heart.
"In short, I trust my instincts, in order to protect the legacy of the Duke of the Star Creator, the god of the sea will never let the Fu Lisan swagger close to the island where the secret treasure is located. ”
"When this ship was attacked by the sea god, it meant that Fu Lisan was already quite close to the island where the secret treasure was located. ”
Eagles was silent, touching his chin and not knowing what he was thinking.
Eventually, a snort broke the silence.
"So, at the end of the day, we still have to pray for the blessing of the goddess of light, can the catapult device catapult us onto the island where the treasure is located?"
"Hmph. I really doubt that it was the right choice to give my own life to you, a madman. Eagles snorted, more like self-deprecation, "But..."
“... We don't have a choice, do we?"
"Tell me, what's next?"
The boy looked up and looked directly at Eagles.
He always felt that the man in front of him seemed to have changed compared to before.
As for which point, I can't tell.
Charlotte nodded vigorously and pointed to the blueprint on the table.
......
Half an hour flew by.
After Charlotte explained the plan, the two discussed it for a while, adjusting and refining some of the details of the plan.
"Don't worry, those points are all wrapped around me. Eagles patted the dust off his thigh and stood up, "It's almost time, and I already have the general details in mind." ”
"By the way, and the 'Mermaid Tears Song' I brought, and the parchment on the cover was something I got when I was looking for a design. But for some reason I copied it down and replaced it. ”
"Replace?" Charlotte was a little confused.
"Yes, that's what I'm curious about. When I infiltrated the captain's quarters, I found on the shelves another 'Song of Mermaid Tears', probably in the form of a journal, quite different from the other book in the form of fairy tale poems. ”
"And there's one more thing you and I wouldn't think of. ”
"What is it?"
"These two 'Mermaid Tears Song' are almost the same color and size, and they are also the 'keys' to open the escape device in the captain's room. ”
"In order not to be noticed by Captain Morey that there is a book missing from the shelf, I replaced the one on the bookshelf with the fairy tale poem I found the blueprint, which is the 'Mermaid Tears Song' on the table in front of you. ”
"Time was of the essence, and I couldn't see any eyebrows, so I'm going to show you if I can find anything. Hmm, what's wrong with you?"
Sensing that Charlotte was staring at him without saying a word, he asked confusedly.
"No... It just feels like you're a little different. I'll take a closer look at this parchment scroll and the 'Mermaid Tears Song'. ”
Eagles snorted, "It's nothing, I'm more than a full circle older than you, and if I choose to back down, I'm afraid I'll never see my daughter in my life." ”
"Charlotte, you have to remember clearly, even if an ordinary person like me, whose strength and bloodline are 'mortals', still have the right to pursue the last hope. ”
"Even if you are facing a desperate situation like this, even if you lose your life because of it, you will never stop. ”
The boy laughed.
"You will, Eagles. ”
"You'll definitely see your daughter again. ”
The emaciated man smiled, undoing the effect of the Celestial Stone, placing it back in the barrel's compartment, picking it up and walking towards the door.
Before leaving, he whispered something to Charlotte.
"Thank you. ”
The wooden door was closed again.
After watching Eagles leave, Charlotte exhaled.
He patted his face vigorously, and after a few moments of soberness, he returned his gaze to the totemic notes on the table.
"So, what's next..."
"On the colorful and twisted plains, the waters of Erripa swallowed me. ”
"What does this mean exactly?..."
“... My time-traveler senior, what do you want to express?"
......
Three days later...
The waves were getting higher and higher, constantly lapping against the hull, and even though the ship had long since stopped, the shaking was more intense than when sailing, and the dark clouds in the sky had been hidden for days, but there was no sign of retreating, and the whistling of the sea breeze seemed to be becoming more and more manic.
At this time, a burly man stood on the bow deck with a man.
"My esteemed Captain Morey, the sea is starting to rage. I just want to ask you..."
"You, are you ready to face the 'Treasures of the Star Creators'?" Wright asked calmly, looking at the horizon in the distance.
Morey didn't speak, closing his eyes to feel the manic sea breeze.
Half a moment later, he opened his eyes.
"From more than a hundred years ago, at that time..."
"I was ready for a long time. ”
"Report!"
A pirate hurried over and knelt down on one knee behind the two.
"Report to Captain Morey and Vice Captain Wright! A huge smoke has been found on the horizon to the east, and the sailors we sent out have successfully fired a huge smoke cannonball, please order it immediately!"
"Did the seduction succeed?" Wright smiled, "It's time, my esteemed captain." ”
"Report!"
"The cleaner didn't have anything to gain in Charlotte's room, please instruct!" another pirate ran over and also got down on one knee behind the two.
Morey heard this, and turned to look at the pirate behind him.
The eyes, like sharp scimitars, rested on the necks of the two of them.
Cold sweat gradually broke out on the two pirates, from their foreheads, necks, shoulders, and arms, and their whole bodies seemed to be stiff and unable to move.
"Leave him alone. Eventually, Morey spoke. The two pirates were relieved and secretly relieved.
"All crew obey orders!" his voice was more manic than the sea breeze at this time, and it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
"Anchor and set sail!"
