Chapter 405: The Beginning of Cooperation

As soon as Gavin turned around, he found that Ollie and Daniel were stumped by the box containing the silver coins, and hurriedly trotted all the way back and said, "This box doesn't need to be lifted." ”

He reached out and pressed on a corner, and the bezel at the bottom of the box immediately popped up, revealing two rows of metal wheels.

Gavin adjusted the height of the wheels and inserted an iron rod into the buckle on one side of the box to form a handle.

"You can push or pull it, but unfortunately I didn't have time to add the crystal nucleus engine, otherwise you wouldn't have to do it. Gavin said.

"Let's push it to the safe first, and then go back and count it. Lukka had wanted to carry the box directly to the captain's quarters, but gave up due to the size and weight of the object. Fortunately, the Silent Death has a water ladder that runs automatically, so there is no need to push this box to climb the stairs, otherwise it will be a hassle to go up and down the stairs.

The so-called safety cabin, also known as the valuables compartment on ordinary ships, is actually just an ordinary cargo compartment with a lock. On the Silent Death, even the most complicated lock is nothing in front of Thea, and on this hatch is Luca's own magic seal.

He didn't really have anything to guard against, and he had prepared such a cabin mainly for his unfinished magical creations.

It's not that he's afraid of being stolen, it's more to guard against Phil's indelible curiosity, he always can't help but want to analyze everything in his own way, but sometimes, half-finished magical creations are far more dangerous than ordinary people think.

Of course, Gavin didn't know that there were various classifications in the cabin, and in the corridor on the second deck, he grabbed Luca's sleeve and asked, "Human Captain, arrange me a bedroom." ”

"On the ship, it's called the cabin. You live in ......," Lukka said, looking up, and saw that Daniel's eyes were round again, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

He coughed and said seriously, "Although our ship is relatively large, the number of cabins that can really be inhabited is very limited. You see, now that Phil and Lind are on board, and Mayor Finch is on board, there are no more spare cabins for you. ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't have much space, I can squeeze anyone I want. Gavin didn't notice Luca at all.

"It's easy to say that," Lukka tried to hold back a laugh, "then you'll share a cabin with Mayor Finch, neither of you will take up much space." ”

"What?" "No!"

Goblins and gnomes screamed at the same time.

"With him, I'm not going!" Mayor Finch said, turning to leave.

Lukka said slowly behind him, "Do you want to swim back? ”

Finch rushed to the porthole to take a peek and asked, "When did you set sail?"

As soon as he got on board, the sails were lowered. Lukka said, pointing at Gavin.

"Then you send me back to shore!" Finch exclaimed.

"Yes, just tell me the coordinates of the ruins. Lukka looked him in the eye, "If you want to repent, don't tell me where the ruins are, that's fine. I'll leave the punishment for breach of our agreement to the black market. ”

"Don't, don't!"

Finch couldn't hear the word "black market", he hesitated, but finally compromised, turned to Gavin and said, "Draw a line in the middle of the room, no one is allowed to cross the line!"

"Would you like to be with you dwarf?" Gavin was furious, but he knew that it was useless to trouble the gnomes, so he could only run to Lukka to discuss, "Can't you really change the cabin for me?"

"Don't ask for so much for free, okay?" Lukka shook his head.

"How can I be considered a free boat, I will bring thirty thousand silver coins!" Gavin retorted.

"One yard to one yard, that box of silver coins is Daniel's reward for taking your assault team out of the collapse area, not your boat fare. Luca said.

"Okay, President, you can make do with it, anyway, on the ship, you won't sleep in the cabin as a whole, just rest for a few hours at night, bear with it. Phil also seemed to be kind to persuade him, but the expression of frowning and winkling betrayed him, and this bear kid obviously wanted to see jokes too.

"Hmph!" Garvin glanced angrily at Mayor Finch, "I want to measure the dividing line myself, you dwarfs love to rob other people's houses!"

Finch rolled up his sleeves without showing weakness: "You green-skinned bandit!"

The two of them didn't realize that this unpleasant conversation was the first negotiation between the gnomes and the goblins after years of strife. Years later, Boiling Sea historians called the conversation "the starting point of an epoch-making collaboration."

Lukka dragged one of them apart in one hand: "You two will quarrel later, Mayor Finch, tell me a general direction first, or the ship will not be sure which direction to go." ”

"Okay. "The direction is 32 degrees east-north, and the distance is about 600 to 800 nautical miles, and our navigator had diarrhea last time he went, and he didn't figure out the distance, anyway, the direction should not be wrong, even if there is an error, it will not exceed 90 degrees." ”

"Ninety degrees, do you know what ninety degrees looks like!" Lukka grabbed him by the shoulders and told him to turn right on the spot, "Do you have a spectrum for how long it takes to sail with such a big deviation at sea?"

"Don't worry, it's not just the direction, I remember that the island where the ruins were located was in the middle of the line between three coral islands of the same size and a very conspicuous volcanic island. ”

"With this marker, plus those charts that shut up and copied, it should be possible to determine the location. Crete, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, and it was his job as a navigator to find directions.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Luca said.

"Then we can go draw the line!" Gavin said, staggering.

"Still no, you stop the meeting first, I will be dizzy," Luca held him down, "go get some money first." ”

Thea's eyes lit up at the mention of the silver coin, and although the others were not so wealthy, they were happy to follow along to feel the atmosphere of the harvest, so they walked down the two decks together to the door of the safe cabin.

The safe was divided into two layers, the inner and the outside, and Lukka only opened the outer seal, but covered up the magic gems, enchanted glass blocks, and other things inside. If these things were to be seen by gnomes and goblins, who knows what would happen?

Although there was a lock on the box, it was not locked, and Lukka gently pushed the lid open, and the contents made him speechless for a moment.

"Is this a silver coin?" he said after a while.
