Chapter 156 - Valuable Cargo (Part 2)

The cabin that Thea had picked out, of all the cargo holds on this level, did look the most like the one with good stuff. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The doors of the other cabins are casually closed, and the locks on them are the most common kind. It is also unlikely that this warship will carry a lot of cargo like a merchant ship, and these holds are mostly loaded with necessities such as grain, which, although important, are really not very valuable.

The gunpowder cabin was on the other side of the ship, and there were some soldiers guarding the doorway, but there were several decks from it.

The cargo hold at the end of the corridor had a large lock on the door that was much more complicated than the one in the intelligence room, but it was not guarded by any soldiers.

Of course, this lock couldn't stop Thea, she picked up the hairpin, and the action of unlocking the lock was more skillful than putting lightning.

There wasn't much cargo in the cabin, except for a small box about half a meter long on the floor in the center, and an intricate silver lock hung from the box.

Lukka was also interested, and the small box in the bilge reminded him of the first time he boarded the Silent Reaper.

However, the chest was not sealed by any magic or divine power, and Thea was able to remove the silver lock from it in a few clicks.

"Gold!" she cried out excitedly as she opened the lid.

It was indeed a shiny gold nugget, but unlike ordinary gold, the surface of this nugget was not smooth, but was full of square crystals, and it was clearly not smelted and purified gold.

"Natural gold. Crete came over and took a look and said.

Luca had heard of the term as a naturally occurring gold ore, and it also had a not-so-elegant name called "dog's head gold", which was said to mean that when a meteorite fell from the sky, all other impurities were burned and consumed, leaving only gold, the most stable metal.

This kind of thing is already extremely rare, and this piece in Thea's hand is even more unusual. On this heavy gold nugget about ten centimeters in diameter, the naturally formed lines formed a clear pattern, which looked like a long sword and a spear intersecting, almost exactly the same as the emblem of the Brohn Empire.

"No wonder William Kaflin wants to send this to the Imperial Palace!" Ollie picked up a card from the ground next to the box, which was tossed aside as Thea eagerly opened the lid.

"What did you say up there?" Lukka asked.

"It was found on the southeastern island of Panya and sent to be presented to Carlyle IV. Ollie replied.

"That's not right, if it's such a valuable thing, why didn't the earl send someone to take it, and there was no guard or anything. Lukka asked, confused.

Shut up and flew over, took the card away with his paws, and looked at it a few times: "The date on it is the night before the wedding, and probably William Kaflin will let you step on the picture before he can tell him about the gold nugget in Daddy." ”

"It's mine anyway!" Thea said, reaching for the nugget. Although it was only ten centimeters in diameter, the weight of the gold was unclear, and Thea, in human form, tried her best not to let the nugget slip to the ground.

"It's yours, can we go?" Lukka looked at her and tried to reach out to help, but was glared at by the silver dragon and retracted his hand.

By the time they had left the original window, the weight of the gold would no longer pose any problem for Thea, who had been transformed back into a silver dragon. She carried five smaller men and a parrot on her back, and with gold nuggets in her claws, she flew faster than when she came.

"I should fly more!" said Silver Dragon, stretching aboard the Peregrine Falcon, "I've been walking on the ground with my legs lately, and my wings have stiffened a little. ”

She didn't change back into human form, and the movement was not small.

"Who?" a lantern flickered on the docks, and the port security team was far more professional than the navy soldiers in night patrols.

"It's okay, it's okay, the child is disobedient, it's being educated!" Lukka hurriedly fooled over.

"It's a big night, can you live in peace, the situation is so tense now, don't make a mess for us......" With this series of complaints, the lantern flickered away.

The next day, the departure formalities were carried out on the shore, and the Peregrine Falcon set sail with great swagger.

Successfully passing the two-tier Imperial Navy's check, leaving Silver Fir Island and the surrounding fleets far behind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Nora was so excited that she threw out four or five balls of living flames, flying back and forth in the air.

"Don't burn the ship again!" cried out Shut Up, and every now it felt powerless that everyone was drunk and I was alone.

Among the members of the ship, only Kate stood silently at the stern of the ship, looking far away in the direction of Silver Fir Island, which had disappeared from sight.

Ollie didn't bother, she knew how much effort her sister had spent there over the years.

However, Kate quickly recovered from her sad mood and took Ollie's hand and walked into the laughter of the crowd.

"Captain Lester, thank you for taking care of my sister. Kate said, bowing to Luca.

Lukka hurriedly returned the salute, spilling more than half of the ale in his hand on Shut Mouth, the parrot was nibbling peanuts on the railing beside him.

Kate then said, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help with on this ship?"

She knew very well that her lordship was nothing more than a sign of ransom for pirates. Lukka obviously wouldn't do that now, but after all, he can't always keep an idler. Kate originally wanted to help with some work such as settling accounts, but after seeing how quickly Thea sorted out the ledger a few days ago, she also gave up on this plan.

"There's no rush for this, you get used to it first, anyway, Ollie's salary is enough to cover the expenses of the two of you. Lukka replied as he wiped the wine stains from his body.

"yes, you don't have to worry, let's take a look first. Ollie said, tugging at Kate's arm.

"Captain, where are we going next?" said Daniel, who staggered over and was filled with a lot of wine. In the matter of fighting for alcohol, he was defeated by Thea every time without any suspense. However, Daniel's wine is good, and he is determined, he has been defeated repeatedly, and the dividends he usually gets are basically used to buy wine.

"Well, I've planned it for a long time. Lukka said, leading everyone to the captain's room.

The magic map, which had not been used in a long time, lay out on the table again, and the highlights of the only large source of mana left in the Sunset Islands flickered on it.

"Let's go to Tata Island, my staff needs to be repaired. Lukka said, pointing to the island where the bright spot was.
