Struggle in the Steam Age

"Why did he sell you things?" After Zhu Yan finished talking about his experience of obtaining treasure hunting clues, Lawrence asked his own questions about the stories he told, because he always felt that it was a bit too much for that person to sell things to Zhu Yan. Coincidentally. And any time too coincidental things often hide behind some unknown problems.

"Because I saved his father before." Zhu Yan said, "His father suffered from a serious illness a few years ago, which could not be cured with ordinary methods. After I found out that he encountered this difficulty, I helped him He introduced a great herbalist and lent him the cost of the treatment, and eventually his father was healed."

"In addition to this kindness, this engineer has also received a formal high school education and is not stupid. He knows that such things cannot be kept by ordinary people like him. I can't save my life. So I simply sold this thing to me who is very reliable in his eyes."

"If that's the case, then the news shouldn't be a big problem." Lawrence nodded. After all, ordinary people in this world where supernaturals appear in the world also know some common sense about superhumans, so the benefit may be huge in the face of this kind. But when the risks are equally great, the vast majority of ordinary people will still make more secure choices instead of taking risks with all their eggs in one basket.

After roughly ruling out that this was a trap set by some people, Lawrence asked the next question. "But now I'm still a little worried that the news will leak from him unconsciously?"

"Probably not. This person usually has a strict mouth, and when he found out about this thing, he came to me directly, and he didn't disclose the news at all." Zhu Yan thought for a while and said firmly. "Besides, the book he sold me at the beginning actually only recorded a set of simple meditation ideas, but after I got it, I realized that this book is not as simple as it seems. After careful inspection, I found that The information about the location of the treasure is recorded on the cover."

"At the same time, those information must use extraordinary means to make them appear." Zhu Yan finally said, "And this information is a standard one-time information, which will be completely destroyed after being activated. So I don't think it has been leaked. .”

"By the way, how should the harvest of this mission be distributed?" After evaluating the mission and making a decision, Lawrence asked straight to the point. Not only is this world not ashamed to talk about interests, but it is more popular among friends Before doing anything, discuss the issue of income distribution. So after deciding to take risks together, Lawrence raised the most critical question.

"Afterwards, the wealth found in it will be divided into 40 or 60 for both of us, you four and me six. But if you find any notes, records or knowledge related to the caster, it will not be included. These things belong to you, we Only one copy is required to be recorded. Besides, you can pick an item first when the property is distributed."

"Sounds very good." Lawrence felt that this distribution method actually got him more, if it weren't for the fact that spell casters must participate in this expedition and Zhu Yan's family couldn't get anyone out. He felt that he might not be able to pick up this bargain.

"But there is a small problem here." Lawrence asked after summarizing the existing information. "According to the information you just said, the place we are going this time should be underwater. How deep will the water be?"

"I have seen the map, and the water depth in that area will not exceed 15 meters." Zhu Yan spread out a map on the table, and then explained in detail, "Those people did not run around before they escaped. And the defenders found their traces, they can only choose a gentle beach to swim directly to the shore, and can't use extraordinary power in the middle. This means that they can't choose to escape in places where the water is too deep."

"How big is that part of the lower cabin?" Lawrence suddenly thought of a documentary about submarines that he had seen in his previous life, which once said about the connection between volume and hidden depth.

"The maximum width is 12 meters, the length is 35 meters, and the height is 7 meters." Zhu Yan thought for a while and said, it seems that he did a lot of preparatory work after discovering this thing. "This is the information I found in the archives after I got this information. This data was calculated according to the size of the big hole at the bottom of the base ship after it was sunk, but it is not clear whether there is any folding space inside. .”

Having said that, Zhu Yan looked at Lawrence with a puzzled look on his face. "Why did you suddenly ask such a detailed question? Is there any problem here?"

"Then why do you think a huge thing hidden under water less than ten meters deep has never been discovered for hundreds of years?" After hearing Zhu Yan's question, Lawrence immediately pointed out a very important question in his opinion .

This question suddenly made Zhu Yan frowned, because he really hadn't considered this matter before. Okay, Okita Sakura, who was sitting next to him, knew something about that place.

"I know the reason, because my hometown is near that place, so I happened to have been to a place very close to that sea area. To be honest, it is entirely possible for such a thing to be hidden under the sea for hundreds of years in that place .”

"Then hurry up and talk about it." Zhu Yan said hastily, and at the same time, everyone in the room looked at Okita Sakura curiously. Okita Sakura didn't hold back, but answered directly.

"Although the overall terrain of that place is relatively flat, except for a few areas, the water flow is also very gentle. But there are many sharp stones protruding from the bottom of the water.

Although the height of these stones is not high, and the top is five or six meters away from the water surface, it will not hurt the hull of the small fishing boat, but if you cast a net, it is easy to catch the fishing net. Therefore, the fishing boats in the surrounding fishing villages will not approach that place at all. In addition, there are many small islands around that section of coastline, which just block the sight of ships passing by from the open sea. "

"And there is no special place near that section of the beach, and there are no large settlements nearby. Therefore, there will not be many foreign ships approaching. At the same time, a nearby river empties into the sea and brings a lot of sediment to the entire sea area. The water became very cloudy, and even a target of this size would be impossible to spot without approaching."

"If this is the case, it will be fine, and the water over there is not deep, so we only need to prepare the boat and underwater activities in advance." Having said that, Lawrence scratched his head. "But I haven't mastered the [Water Breathing] magic—"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Yan said, "I have prepared six [Water Breathing] scrolls, which are enough for everyone to use."

Fortunately, New Kuaiji is also a port city, so this slightly unpopular scroll is not too difficult to buy. Next, everyone exchanged the materials they had prepared. After finding that the materials were all prepared, everyone decided not to delay and set off now.

After all, everything is easy to change after a long time, so Lawrence and the others also hope that this matter can start quickly to avoid any troublesome things in the middle.

After checking out the room and coming to the hotel entrance, Lawrence saw an ordinary carriage parked there, and a young man in a bamboo hat was standing beside the carriage and feeding soybeans to the horse. After seeing Lawrence and the others coming out of the hotel, the young man immediately opened the carriage door for them.

"This is the driver I hired temporarily." Zhu Yan explained after getting into the car. "He'll send us to the village closest to that coastline, and we'll walk the last part of the way by ourselves."

After hearing Zhu Yan's arrangement, Lawrence nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time, his expectation for the success of this adventure increased a little. After all, in an adventure, a reliable teammate is absolutely very important, and from the process of the last adventure and the arrangement this time, it can be seen that Zhu Yan is indeed the most reliable one.
