Chapter 87: The Guardian of the Treasure (I)
Two weeks after revealing the plan to Eagles, the silence of the room was terrifyingly quiet, except for the creaking of the ship's rocking.
A young man covered in bandages sat at his desk, staring intently at the two secret treasure maps on the table, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered an intractable problem.
"No, I don't understand it at all. He picked up the drawing notes that were placed next to him, and on them were all the totems marked on the treasure map, along with their names and the meaning of the translated back to Chinese characters.
For example, the blue tinch totem found on the 'mud shark islands' is pronounced Ryise_Caiontlion in lingua franca, which means blue bird.
But just looking at this group of words can't see any frowns, the key is the words in the middle of the words.
Se_Cai, color. A word that can be read in Chinese.
Just a few days ago, when Charlotte was researching information about the owner of the secret treasure, she inadvertently discovered that these totems were not only signposts to guide the treasure, but also seemed to hide Chinese characters.
Out of curiosity, Charlotte arranged all the totems, categorized them into 'totems passed by pirates' and 'totems passed by themselves', and then cracked them out with Chinese pronunciation.
The work of cracking is only a moment or two, but the resulting sentence is a sentence that is difficult to understand.
Is it the key to the Treasure, the secret to enter the island, or the true route to the Treasure?
Charlotte didn't understand that even if she tried her best to decipher and read about the deeds of the Star Creator Duke during these boring days, she couldn't come up with any useful information.
Although it can't be explained, considering the identity of the owner of the secret treasure, that is, Zheng He, this sentence that can be read through in Chinese must have hidden some secrets.
sighed, and had no choice but to put it down temporarily.
Judging from the magnitude of the ship's swaying, there has hardly been much difference in the past few days.
It seems that the nautical drawings drawn by himself have been successfully handed over to the two men.
Cluck.
The wooden door was suddenly opened, and the emaciated man walked into the room with a bucket, closed the wooden door casually, and then took out a few things from the hidden compartment of the barrel and placed them in front of Charlotte, and activated the 'Heavenly Stone'.
"Eh, didn't anyone tell you that the same trick didn't work against the Saint Seiya?" the young man shook his shoulders helplessly.
The man looked at Charlotte as if he didn't understand, but didn't speak.
"Well, it's okay, it's just a joke. So what did you find?"
"There are a few things I care about," Agus said, taking out the magic paper and handing it to Charlotte, "First of all, this is the design drawing of the Fu Lisan, and I copied it with the magic paper. β
"Wow, you've found it, this is magic paper? Charlotte clutched the magic paper in her hand, feeling that it was much heavier than ordinary parchment, and the surface was extremely smooth.
"Lightly, I risked my life to get my hands on it. β
When the boy heard this, he spread out the magic paper, and a complete design of the giant ship came into view.
βBingoγ The corners of the boy's mouth gradually rose, "Eagles, do you know what we can do unexpectedly when we have this picture?"
"We are clenching the heart of the Fu Lisan. β
"Shouldn't I remind you that there are only two of us in the 'we', and it's thank God that we were able to get off this ship alive. The man sighed, pointed to the captain's cabin on the drawing, and continued, "Look, as you said before, there is indeed an ejection device behind the captain's room, which is most likely used by Morey in a pinch. β
"I've seen it with my own eyes. β
"Uh, have you ever seen for sure?" Charlotte didn't know if she had misheard, and looked at Aguezes in disbelief, "You're not crazy, are you?"
"Probably. Because there are so few opportunities to meet, I want to make sure before we meet whether your guess is correct. β
"Besides, we're pretty close to the treasure, aren't we?"
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Well, the ship stopped a week ago. I suppose they should wait for the hurricane to disappear before approaching the island where the treasure is located?"
"That's right, for some reason, they got the route map you drew for the voyage, searched for a few totems, and then sailed straight to this area until they anchored a week ago. "But it's strange that a lot of gunpowder and raw meat have been removed from the ship in the last few days, and a week ago I was lying in the vent and heard Morey and Wright talking about Hurricane and Poseidon, are they going to do something?"
"You're tempting, aren't you?"
"Lure, lure what?" was Eagles, puzzled.
"Have you ever heard of the name 'Poseidon'?" the boy smiled mysteriously.
"Poseidon ?... I think of a name that I have in mind, 'Areverd' the seagod, the nightmare of the sailors of the world," replied the man, after a moment's thought.
Charlotte nodded, "Yes, 'Poseidon' Alfred. 'The thick tentacles of a tornado cover the sky above the sea, and each sucker has a bloody mouth that clings to and feeds on all living things that come near it...' the legend says. The boy gestured to the book beside him.
"And the waters where it haunts are at your feet and mine. β
"What... Isn't that an ethereal legend?"
"If this is false, the treasure is nothing more than a bubble that bursts at the touch of a button. Charlotte picked up the two treasure maps on the table, "These two treasure maps are the best proof of this. β
"It exists, as one of the main culprits that once destroyed the Greven Empire. β
"Destruction... Imperial... Isn't that something that only a god-tier can do?" Eagles still swallowed in disbelief, "Boy, I think you should tell me the whole plan..."
β... Before we die in this sea. β
"Well, I'll tell you. But first of all, you have to know that although the 'Sea God' is the main culprit in the destruction of the empire, it rarely appears in other seas. β
"According to legend, since the destruction of the empire on the sea, the 'sea god' has not left the sea where the empire once stood. β
"That is, the sea beneath our feet. β
"I can't tell why the 'Poseidon' has been in this area for thousands of years, but that's not the point. β
"And the point is that our friend is trying to lure it with cannonballs and raw meat, what are the consequences of this?"
"I see," Igus took a deep breath, "so your plan was to escape from the ship when the 'Poseidon' attacked the Fu Lisan?"
"You're insane. β
