Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 211: Message verification

"Why did he sell things to you?" After Zhu Yan finished his experience of obtaining treasure hunt clues, Lawrence asked his own questions about the story he told, because he always felt that the person selling things to Zhu Yan was a bit too much. By coincidence. And any time that is too coincidental, there are often hidden problems behind it.

"Because I saved his father before." Zhu Yan said, "His father had a serious illness a few years ago, and he could not be cured by ordinary methods. And I helped him after finding out that he encountered this difficulty. He introduced an extraordinary herbalist and loaned him the cost of treatment. In the end, his father recovered."

"In addition to this kindness, this engineer has also received a formal high school education, and his brain is not stupid. He knows that such things are not something ordinary people like him can keep. If they are known by some unscrupulous people, he might even He couldn't keep his life. So he simply sold this thing to me who was very reliable in his eyes."

"If this is the case, then the news shouldn't be a big problem." Lawrence nodded. After all, in this transcendental world, ordinary people also know some common sense about transcendents, so in the face of this kind of benefits may be huge. But when there are opportunities with great risks, most ordinary people will still make choices that are more inclined to be safe, rather than risk desperately.

   After roughly excluding this as a trap set by some people, Lawrence asked the next question. "But now I am still a little worried about whether the news will leak out of him unconsciously?"

   "Probably not, this person usually has a very strict mouth, and when he found this thing, he came to me directly, without revealing the news at all." Zhu Yan thought for a moment and said categorically. "Besides, the book he started selling to me was actually just a set of simple meditation thoughts. After I got it, I realized that this book is not as simple as it seems. After careful inspection, I found The information about the location of the treasure recorded on the cover."

"At the same time, the information must be revealed by extraordinary means." Zhu Yan said in the end, "Moreover, these information are standard one-time information, which will be completely destroyed after being activated. So I don't think it should be leaked out. ."

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

"Afterwards, the wealth found in it is divided into four or six, you four and six. But if you find any notes, records, or knowledge related to the caster, it will not be included in it. All these things belong to you, I Only one copy is required. In addition, you can pick one thing first when you allocate your belongings."

   "Sounds very good." Lawrence felt that this distribution method actually took more by himself, if it weren't for this expedition that a spellcaster must be involved and Zhu Yan's family couldn't get anyone out. He felt that he might not be able to find this cheap.

   "But there is a small question 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, right? How deep will the water be there?"

"I have seen the map, the water depth in that area will not exceed 15 meters." Zhu Yan spread a map on the table, and then explained in detail, "Those people didn't run around before they escaped, in order to avoid the search team. When they found their traces with the defenders, they could only choose a gentle beach to swim directly ashore, and they could not use extraordinary power in the middle. This meant that they could not choose to escape in a place where the water was too deep."

   "How big is that part of the lower cabin?" Lawrence suddenly thought of a documentary about submarines that he had watched in his previous life. It once said about the relationship 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 went to the archives after I got this information. This data is based on the size of the big hole in the bottom of the base ship after the base ship was sunk that year, but it is not clear whether there is any folding space inside. ."

   At this point, Zhu Yan looked at Lawrence with a puzzled look on his face. "Why did you suddenly ask such details, is there any problem in it?"

"Then you think a huge thing is hidden under water less than ten meters deep, why hasn't it been discovered for hundreds of years?" After hearing Zhu Yan's question, Lawrence immediately pointed out a question that he seemed to be very important. .

   Zhu Yan frowned at this question, because he hadn't considered this matter before. Okita Sakura, who sat next to him, knew something about that place.

"I know for this reason, because my hometown is near that place, so I happened to go to a place very close to that sea area. Seriously, it is entirely possible that such a thing can be hidden under the sea for hundreds of years in that place. ."

   "Then you can talk about it quickly." Zhu Yan said hurriedly, and everyone in the room looked curiously at Okita Sakura. Okita Sakura didn't sell it, but answered straightforwardly.

   "Although the overall terrain of the place is relatively flat, the water flow is also very gentle except for a few areas. However, there are many sharp rocks protruding from the seabed under the water.

   Although the height of these stones is not high, and the top is five or six meters from the water surface, it can't hurt the hull of a small fishing boat, but if you cast a net, it is easy to break the 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, just blocking the sight of ships passing by from the open sea. "

"Moreover, there is nothing special 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 surrounding river estuary brings a lot of sediment to the entire sea area. The water becomes very turbid, even if such a big target is not approached, it is impossible to be discovered~lightnovelpub.net~ If this is fine, and the water over there is not deep, so we just need to prepare the boat in advance Things that move underwater are enough." At this point, Lawrence scratched his head. "But I didn't master the magic [water breathing]—"

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

   Fortunately, Xin 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 ready, everyone decided that it should not be too late and set off now.

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

   retired to the hotel entrance, Lawrence saw an ordinary carriage parked there, a young man wearing a hat was standing by the carriage feeding soybeans to the horse. After seeing Lawrence and the others come out of the hotel, the young man immediately helped them open the door of the carriage.

   "This is my temporary driver." Zhu Yan explained after getting on the bus. "He will send us to the village closest to the coastline, and we will walk the last part of the road by ourselves."

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