In the end, Mores's status as the overseer of the contract between the two parties was accepted by everyone, including himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Taylor brought 125,000 silver coins as promised, and a dozen knights worked hard for a long time before they moved all the money onto the Peregrine Falcon.

This kind of currency is really inconvenient, and Luca didn't bother to count it, sighed and said to Mores: "Haven't you thought about making a banknote or something?"

"What is banknote?" Mores didn't understand.

"Forget it, even if you say it, you don't understand. Lukka waved his hand, but he couldn't say it at all.

A lot of things are like this, and they are used every day, but once you want to say exactly what it is and how it works, you can't explain it in a single sentence except for the short name.

This is true not only of the word "banknote", but also of the word "magic".

When the Peregrine Falcon sailed out to sea half a day later, Lukka dispelled the disguise, and the dhow changed its image in an instant, and when Mores asked how it worked, Lukka could only say the word "magic". And the principle of it, he really can't describe in words.

However, when the Peregrine Falcon sailed a hundred nautical miles east and stopped beside the Silent Death, Mores forgot to ask.

"Let's go!" Lukka pushed the stunned Knight Lord into the water ladder from behind, the room that was about the size of an elevator.

If he knew that he was the only person on the Silent Reaper other than the members of the ship, Mores would have stayed a little longer.

Sitting in the spacious lounge, Mores finally said the first thing he said after getting on board: "I finally understand how you bite the black sails like that!"

"Why doesn't this man look like a knight at all?" Daniel, you don't care!" Ollie had regained her original appearance, and it seemed that she had relaxed a lot in her own boat.

"What does this knight have to do with me!" Daniel didn't carry the pot at all.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Lukka said as he spread out the chart on the table and placed the compass on top of the wooden box. He didn't touch the compass directly, and the last contact was not a good memory.

Crete, as the ship's navigator, walked to the table and reached for the compass.

It seemed to be even more violent than the feedback when Luca made contact, and the compass instantly made a loud "bang" sound, bouncing his whole person against the wall.

Crete got up from the ground and rubbed his sore shoulder, giving an expression of wonder for the first time.

Luca's mentality is balanced, and it seems that he is not the only one who is excluded by this compass.

"Why are you all like this?" said Mores, picking up the compass from the table, and there was no movement. Not only him, but several of his high-ranking knights, Archon Taylor, and even the storekeeper of Nanfeng Song Island, all took the compass and looked at it carefully, and none of them would make such a move.

"Look through the box. Lukka said to Crete, "This thing seems to be aimed at the people on our ship!"

He didn't plan to investigate the specific reason now, you know, the academy and the knights of the alliance have studied it for so long, and they haven't figured out how this thing works, but they just summed up the completely untechnical experience of "it can point to the ruins".

Even Crete is at a loss for what to do with this thing, what can these few people figure out? Anyway, just find a place to investigate, go back to Taylor and get the money and leave. As a pirate, and not a scientist, Lukka didn't bother to care about that.

Crete carefully picked up the box together, and this time there was no mess. He recorded the angle of the compass, looked up and saw that Luca did not know why, so he had to explain: "The direction it points to is due east, if we sail north for a while, and then record the direction, we can use the three-point measurement method to calculate the direction of the target." ”

"Why don't you go straight east in this direction?" Ollie didn't understand why he bothered.

"Because we have our bearings, we can prepare a little bit in advance. Otherwise, would it be right to plunge headlong into the territorial waters of the Brohn Empire?" Lukka immediately understood.

Mores said suddenly: "Actually, there is no need for this, we have already positioned it." ”

After saying that, he walked to the chart, pointed to a gray dot and said, "Here it is, I hope you have a diving bell on board." ”

"What's that?" Lukka had never heard of.

"It's a bell-like container, with an opening underneath, and air in it, which can send people to the bottom of the sea for diving. Ollie said, gesturing.

"We don't have it, do we?" Lukka looked back at Daniel, who shook his head clearly, "Do you have to use it?"

Mores nodded: "I recommend going to the nearest port to buy one, because this place is a dark sand under the water." ”

"Dark sands, islands that don't show the sea, right?" Lukka had heard of the term.

"Yes, three of the five ruins we've excavated are also below the surface of the sea. This dark sand, according to the mark on the chart, should be about 20 meters underwater. Mores replied.

"Well, then I'll be relieved!" Lukka laughed, "I don't need to buy a diving clock, I'll take care of that." ”

"But it's going to be in the water! It's not very expensive...... "Mores couldn't figure out Luca's brain circuitry at all.

"Don't worry, the captain said it was no problem, then there must be a way. Ollie didn't look worried at all.

"Even if there is a problem, it will be too late to find a way when the time comes!" Nora agreed.

Mores had only one thought at this point: these people were really big......

"Oops!" Luca suddenly exclaimed, "I almost forgot, whether I buy it or not, we have to go back to the port of sails first!

"It was agreed on the first of January, and now there are twenty days left. "Crete remembers it well.

"Then buy a diving bell by the way......" Mores' voice was once again ignored.

......

On New Year's Day 1486, Luca waited for the new Haiping Line at Huifan Harbor.

Leon's trade route went well, and not only did he send Lukka a handsome amount of silver coins and gems, but he also added two three-masted merchant ships. Now, Lukka also owns a caravan.

After replenishing the mana for the chart, Lukka asked Leon to move a large sum of silver coins. Of the 125,000, Luca himself owns 40% according to the agreement. He continued to invest the money in the caravan, and others joined in, so that the caravan would soon grow in size again.

However, until he left to return to the port, Luca still did not buy the diving bell.

There was no way, Mores bought one out of his own pocket with a sad face.
