Chapter 566: Treasure Clue
Ring of Knowledge!" Old Belen recognized the item in Leo's hand at a glance, stepped forward with a new look of curiosity, looked at it carefully, and said, "There is no mark, it is a new ring of knowledge." As he spoke, he looked at Leo with curiosity like a child, and asked without hesitation, "What knowledge have you gained from it?"
"Something you don't understand?" Leo said casually, without giving the right answer.
"If you don't understand it, it's right. Old Belen didn't think that Leo was lying, he said with some excitement: "If you can understand, you will be able to know the secret of heaven, which is the secret hidden by the gods, and the secret of our origin." ”
Leo noticed an interesting little detail hidden in Old Belen's nervous nagging words, and immediately asked, "Is the secret hidden by the gods?
"Hey, hey!" said Old Belen, who did not answer Leo's inquiry, as if he was worried.
Leo didn't ask, continued to ask, and then said as if changing the subject: "Did you come to Skull Bay this time for the Pirate King's treasure?"
"No, my purpose is to go to the Guga Desert, and Skull Bay is just a stopby," Old Belen shook his head and said, "In addition, the Pirate King Treasure in Skull Bay is not very attractive to me. ”
While the two were talking, the Ice Queen had sailed into the armband harbor of Skull Island, and under the command of the old captain, all the sails on board were put away, and then the reins thrown up by the barge on the dock next to it were tied to the bow of the ship, and the barge was dragged a little closer to the pier.
"Why?" asked Leo, puzzled.
"What, why?" said Old Belen.
Leo asked bluntly: "Why are you not interested in the treasures of the Pirate King, you must know that there are five treasures of the Pirate King here, and there are countless treasures hidden, including a large number of antiquities that record the civilization of the Moisan Continent, why are you not interested in this?"
Old Belen pursed his lips and said, "Not interested, just not interested, there is nothing why?"
After saying that, he seemed to have lost interest in talking to Leo, and without saying hello, he turned around and walked off the deck, and went back to his cabin to prepare for going ashore.
Leo watched Old Belen's figure disappear into the deck, leaving an inexplicable smile on his face.
Although Old Belen denied it, Leo could see that the other party should be coming for the Pirate King's treasure, and it was not difficult to see from some previous clues that his interest in the Pirate King's treasure was probably due to Old Belen's secret inducement.
Leo thought about it carefully, and the reason why he was interested in the Pirate King was because of the statistical list of treasures, which the treasure hunters had taken out and put on the table.
At that time, the page on the list happened to be on the wizard of the tower's magic book, although many of the demonstration drawings on the cover of the magic book were problematic, but the origin of this magic book could still be seen, not to mention that there was a simple explanation under the magic book, even if Leo did not see the corresponding magic book record in Death Valley, he would be interested in this magic book.
At the time, I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, everything seemed to be my own initiative to become interested in the Pirate King's treasure, but now it seems that there are many loopholes in it.
The first is the statistical directory, although because of the boom in the treasure of the Pirate King, things related to treasures are very popular, among which the list of what kind of treasures the treasure is particularly popular, and there are more than 100 kinds of related versions,
However, the statistical directory that attracted Leo's attention at that time was obviously not the one that was popular in the market, and those ordinary statistical directories were almost all records of various treasures, but they did not involve any strange things with extraordinary powers, and only a few Dark World organizations had such a complete directory of the Pirate King's treasures.
If the ship's openly identified treasure hunters were transcendents and had joined some organization in the Underworld, it wouldn't be surprising to have such a list.
But the problem is that none of those people are extraordinary, and judging by their speech and demeanor, they are not even professional treasure hunters, just a group of rich people who see the news in the newspaper and come to join in the fun and experience a treasure hunt adventure.
It is absolutely impossible for this kind of person to have such a complete directory of the Pirate King's treasures, so that directory must belong to someone else, and from the degree to which these people don't attach importance to that directory, they casually throw it on the table and let Leo see it, I'm afraid they don't think that the directory is theirs in their hearts, and even their actions of putting the directory on the table just put things that don't belong to them back to their place.
Think of these people coming to the break room and seeing a list of the Pirate King's treasures on the table that they were interested in, so they picked it up and looked through it. Although there were many strange objects in the list, they did not know it, they just thought it was another version of the list, but it was not until they had read it that they put the list back in its place, next to the chair that Leo used to make.
As for the night when they spread out the directory in the magic book, it is clear that they are just placing the directory as closely as they did when they first saw it, which means that the list is spread out at the beginning and the pages are turned to the page of the magic book.
If Old Belen hadn't appeared, Leo wouldn't have been suspicious of that directory, but now Leo was almost certain that the list should be Old Belen's, and it seemed that only Old Belen was in a position to come up with such a special version of the Pirate King's Treasure Directory.
Old Belen obviously recognized Leo from the gambling game on the ship that day, and should have known Leo's ability from Old Man Rembrandt, so he prepared such a small bait, appeared in front of him again, and then waited for Leo to take the initiative to find him to participate in the search for the Pirate King's treasure.
Although Leo didn't know whether his inference was correct, he didn't particularly care about the Pirate King's treasure, and he wouldn't act according to Old Belen's idea anyway, he was ready to find it himself, and if he didn't find it, he would leave with the ship two days later, without delay.
Under the guidance of the towing boat, the Ice Queen docked steadily next to the pier, and under the greeting of the waiter on board, everyone got off the boat and got into several carriages that had been waiting there for a long time.
Leo didn't go with the car, but asked the old captain for the hotel he had booked, and headed for the pirate town below Skull Island.
The Pirate Town was converted from a former pirate house, and all the houses have maintained the original life of the pirates on the island, but the interior has been reinforced and some more convenient steam machinery has been installed.
Most of the people who lived in Pirate Town wore the characteristic costumes of the time, and their behavior imitated the pirates of the time, and even their speech was the same as the pirate language of the time, which was a combination of Sigma and English at that time, in short, to restore the scene as much as possible.
In order to allow visitors to integrate into this environment more realistically, the town government also set up a free clothing changing point at the entrance, so that visitors can choose clothes that match the style of the time for free, so that they can fully immerse themselves in the environment at that time and experience the life of a pirate.
Of course, not everyone likes this immersive experience, and some people want to leave it as it is, so at first glance, Pirate Town looks like a world intertwined with time and space, but it adds a bit of a different atmosphere to the place, which is also a major feature of the place.
After Leo entered the town, he asked directly where the liveliest tavern was, and went straight to this tavern, and soon he entered the liveliest and largest tavern in the town.
As the kid who gave him the way had said, it was indeed the liveliest tavern, and it was overcrowded, with every table full of people, and some of the people sitting on the floor that looked less like a tavern than a public lecture by some academic master.
Leo casually pulled a tourist and asked the reason, and the man said a little impatiently: "Later, the three-legged people will come to announce the scope of the sea area they are searching, and we scattered treasure hunters can go to other sea areas at that time, so as not to conflict with the three-legged people." ”
Without much thought, Leo could already hear that this three-legged organization was probably a local organization dedicated to finding the treasure of the Pirate King, and this organization seemed to be very powerful, and there was even the shadow of the local government and navy behind it, otherwise, it would not be possible to do such a thing as blockading the sea.
At this time, I saw several men dressed in pirate costumes walking in through the other door of the tavern, and the people in the tavern immediately gave way when they saw the comers, and then they saw the people, took out a map, nailed it to the bulletin board in the tavern, and then turned around and left without saying much.
After the men left, the other people in the tavern immediately stepped forward, looked at the map carefully, and then let out a curse full of dissatisfaction, but they could only curse a few words, and did not dare to really clash with the three-legged man, and after cursing, they drank two sips of wine, and then they all dispersed.
The moment Leo hung out the map, he could clearly see the mark of the sea area above, and I have to say that the three-legged people did a bit too much, because nearly half of the sea area of Skull Bay was marked by them, and it is not difficult to hear from the words of the people around him that they are all sea areas that have not been explored on a large scale, and it is very likely that the treasure of the Pirate King is located.
Similarly, the scattered treasure hunters in the tavern did not dare to question the division of the exploration sea area by the three legs, because the three legs not only had the support of the Skull Island Town Council behind them, but the three people who made up this treasure hunt organization were also unusual, namely Sigma, The organization formed by Inge and the retired generals of the United States and Galica is not called Three Legs, but the United Sea Exploration Company, which is mainly focused on salvaging shipwreck treasures, because the three founders only have one leg, so they will be nicknamed Three Legs by those who don't like them.
The strength of the three legs is very strong, and it has mastered twenty large and small ships, all of which are converted warships equipped with the latest steam engines, and the members of the organization are all retired soldiers of the navies of the three countries, and their equipment is probably not comparable to even the average small country navy.
Leo didn't inquire seriously about the three-legged matter, he was more concerned about the treasure, so he asked for a glass of wine and sat in a corner of the tavern, quietly listening to the complaints of some treasure hunters in the tavern, and listening to the rumors that some good people heard out of nowhere.
Soon Leo hears some useful news, such as the fact that Three-Leed has recruited a scholar from the Sigma Kingdom Oceanographic Academy who specializes in ocean currents, and he deduces the approximate location of the treasure based on the location of the fisherman's discovery of the chest, as well as the currents at the time, and the time of the earthquake.
In addition, there is a hidden pirate base found on Bignose Island, and judging from the items and facilities left there, it should belong to the pirate king Redbeard, who happens to be the owner of the treasure found by the fisherman, and Bignose Island is right in the middle of the current route deduced by the current scholar.
Interestingly, although the three legs demarcated the sea area they explored, they did not say that Big Nose Island was included in it, which made the treasure hunters on Skull Island feel that they had found some opportunity, and now they are discussing what to prepare to go to Big Nose Island to explore.
Leo didn't plan to go to Big Nose Island like the others, and the place he chose to explore was actually Little Nose Island, which was not far from Big Nose Island, the island in the middle of the three-legged sea.
The reason why Leo made such a judgment and chose Little Nose Island was not based on any useful clues, but because he was speculating on the intentions of the three legs.
It's impossible for the three-legged news network not to know about the base built by Redbeard on Big Nose Island, and they didn't have an interest in Big Nose Island, probably because they had already explored the island, and they knew that there was nothing special about that island, so they would say that it was not allowed to be explored.
But Little Nose Island is different, according to the people around it, the sea area around Little Nose Island has been controlled by three legs for a period of time, although the scope of the middle sea area is constantly changing, and the exploration rights of some islands are also changing from time to time, but the exploration rights of Little Nose Island have always been under the control of Three Legs, and even Three Legs rented a pirate castle on Little Nose Island for the convenience of exploring the surrounding sea areas, so that a large number of people were stationed there.
Although the three-legged work is very secretive, there are still many people who have some careful thoughts about Little Nose Island, and Leo has some ideas from the conversations of some of them.
For Leo, time was running out for him, he could only try to find the Pirate King's treasure tonight, and if he didn't find a useful clue tonight, he was ready to stop and stop getting involved.
Because in his opinion, it doesn't matter if other people find the treasure, what to pay attention to is the magic book of the wizard of the tower, as long as the treasure is found, the magic book will definitely be taken out, and when the time comes, he has a way to talk about the magic book in his hands, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the treasure, it can be used as a small game on a trip. /7_7913/
