Chapter 415: Just Bragging
"Tell me, what's the problem?" asked the Chihuahua.
Lukka half-crouched down in front of him and said solemnly, "Is the Guide Stone in your hand?"
"How is that possible?" the Chihuahua jumped up immediately, but looked back at Erha, who was stupidly looking at the scenery at the door, and the other kobolds who were still squatting on the ground and shivering, and said in a low voice, "Can we talk in a different place?" ”
Lukka was a little surprised that this Wang Xingren still had something unspeakable that he didn't want to be known about by his subordinates, and he nodded, and led the Chihuahua to an unused cargo hold on the lowest level.
"Say it. Lukka carried the Chihuahua onto an empty crate.
"You're asking about the Guiding Stone, one of the two treasures of the Boiling Sea, did I hear me right?" Chihuahua confirmed.
"That's right, your man, the husky, once told me that you got this stone and absorbed all its energy. Luca said.
The Chihuahua sits on a half-human-high wooden box, unable to touch the ground with its feet, and even if it tries to jump down and run, it is worried that it will break its little thin legs. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said honestly: "I was bragging to them...... If I had this kind of treasure, would it be necessary to run around between the two seas to work?
"Bragging?" Lukka asked, "and where did you get the ability to discern direction?"
"You wait until I'm done," said Chihuahua, "I've seen the Guiding Stone, but the owner of our Chamber of Commerce asked me to carry it, and I don't dare take it myself if I have a hundred guts." It was during the transportation that I couldn't help but lick the rock, and then I was able to tell the direction. ”
"Did you just lick it?" Lukka was a little surprised, if what the Chihuahua said was true, then the stone was indeed worthy of the title of "Secret Treasure".
"Really, just a moment!" the Chihuahua nodded heavily.
"And where is the Guide Stone now?" asked Luca.
"As I said, our boss asked me to transport it, and of course I handed it over to him. As for whether he collected it or sold it for money, I don't dare to ask. Chihuahua said.
"So, I really have to meet your boss?" Lukka really didn't have any affection for the black man behind the black market.
"Of course, aren't we here to pick you up?" said the Chihuahua.
"Okay, what island is your boss on? Luca said.
"I can't say this well. The Chihuahua hung her head.
"Are you going to figure out what's going on? Now that your boat is gone, you have to take my boat, and the location is going to be kept secret?" Lukka was a little angry.
"No, no, no, it's not that I don't tell you, it's that I can't figure it out. Chihuahua waved his hand again and again, "Our branch in the Boiling Sea is not fixed on a certain island, and every time the boss wants to see us, he gives us a message to go to him." ”
"Is that on the ship? Even then, he'll give you a coordinate to meet, right?" Lukka asked.
"No, the boss gave me this compass. As she spoke, the Chihuahua pulled out a compass and dragged it in her palm.
Lukka looked down, and at first glance he thought it was a pocket watch, different from ordinary compasses, this round wooden box, there were two hands instead of one, and there were no signs indicating directions and angles around it, but a circle of numbers with units not written on them. If you look closely, this thing doesn't look like a compass anymore, neither of the two pointers points to the south, but they are still turning slightly.
"What is this?" he asked.
The Chihuahua carefully held the compass, moving as gently as possible, and even the voice of the voice became much quieter.
"This is our boss's special compass, the short one indicates his current direction, and the long one indicates his distance. Now this scale, I see...... "he brought his eyes closer," he said, "is one hundred and fifty-six nautical miles. ”
"So close?" Lukka was a little unprepared, this distance, the Peregrine Falcon could reach full speed in a few hours, and the Silent Reaper was only a little more than a day's voyage.
"When I set off, it wasn't that close. The Chihuahua said, "The boss should be rushing this way." ”
Lukka was a little caught off guard, he had planned to make some preparations in advance before meeting with the black market boss, and at least make some magic items that could confuse people, maybe which could come in handy when bargaining.
Now it seemed that it was probably too late to do these things, the day before he was about to explore the Ruins Island, he used up all the glass blocks in his inventory, although it was better to make magic items out of gems, but Lukka was reluctant to do so.
"Prepare yourself, our boss's car is fast. The Chihuahua said as she put the compass back in her pocket.
"Wait, this compass, can you show me?" Lukka said in a discussative tone, but his tone was unquestionable.
Reluctantly, the Chihuahua shoved the compass into his hand.
Lukka flipped through and looked at it for a while, then gently touched it with the flow of mana, and the compass lay quietly in his hand, without a trace of magical energy.
It's not a magic item, it doesn't have the breath of divine power, what is the principle of this thing?Lukka was still puzzled, and glanced down, only to find that the pointer marking the distance had turned a little more. This speed is almost catching up with the Upper Falcon, and even if the Silent Reaper does turn around and run now, it will probably not be long before it will be overtaken.
"Go ahead and get ready, at this rate, the boss will be here by tonight." The Chihuahua tried several times to reach for the compass, but because of its short hands and legs, it was not possible even when standing on the box.
"Prepare something, I won't stop him if he wants to come, but don't take yourself too seriously. Lukka shook his head, put the compass in his pocket, and turned to leave, "I'm hungry now, I'm going to eat first." Even if he shows up now, he'll have to wait until I'm done eating. ”
No matter how fast the black market master's ship is, it is not teleporting, and there is still enough time to eat and sleep. But Luca's lunch was not stable, and now not only did the quarrel between the dwarf and the goblin not stop at all, but he also had to provide the food for the dozen kobolds, and the sound of "wooing" was constantly heard in the restaurant.
After lunch, Lukka asked Daniel to find a large empty cargo hold, and instead of making a bed, he casually spread a thick blanket on the ground as a temporary shelter for the kobold.
After arranging all this, all that remains is to wait for the other party to come to the door, but Luca always feels that he has forgotten something.
When it was almost time for dinner, Erha found him and asked with a sad face, "Captain Lester, have you seen our leader?"
