Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 217: Wild

The golden box surrounded by Lawrence and the others looked gorgeous. The surface of the box is inlaid with a large number of precious and semi-precious stone fragments to create beautiful mosaic patterns. At the same time, the exposed gold surface is also decorated with winding, pinching, silk, piles and other means. There is not a shred of space that is plain. of.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is a huge depression on one side of the box. This depression seems to be caused by some external force. It completely destroys the decoration on that side of the box and reduces the overall appearance and preciousness of the whole box.

"It's a beautiful box." Looking at the mosaic landscapes on the box that showed a three-dimensional picture through clever collage, the two ladies simultaneously uttered admiring voices. Lawrence and Zhu Yan also secretly admired the exquisiteness of this box and the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen who made it.

"Fortunately, those mermaids have rich fishing experience." Zhu Yan sighed after taking a close look at the golden box. "When they are salvaging, they will search the silt near the search location carefully with a thin steel drill to see what is there. The scattered things, if we go into the water, we will probably miss such treasures."

"It's really lucky." This time Lawrence once again deepened the idea of ​​giving professional matters to professionals, and then he released an appraisal technique to the box.

[Secret box, a special product of the advanced magic craftsman of the Peacock Empire, which can slow down the decay of the items in it to the greatest extent. At the same time, it has a strong anti-theft function, which must be opened by a specific method. 】

[This secret box is only covered and sealed, and the magic defense function is not activated, so you only need brute force to open it. However, the contents are probably destroyed. 】

"Open with brute force?" Lawrence muttered the last sentence identified in his heart, and then said to Syfiel, "The magic on this box has completely disappeared, so we forced the box to open through some method. "

"Is it necessary to destroy this box? It's a pity, but leave it to me." Saifei first showed a pity, then took out a dagger from his waist belt, and then The dagger was attached to the side of the gold box and slowly applied force.

But it is obvious that the gold on the surface of this box is likely to be mixed with some other metal to make the box more solid. So even if Syfiel's arm is hard, Lawrence can see her muscles bulge through the gap in the armor on her arm. But the enchanted dagger in her hand still only stuck a groove on the surface of the box, and didn't pierce the thin wall of the box as expected.

"Drink—" Saifei is naturally not the kind of guy who only relies on brute force. After a soft drink, a thin layer of glass-like transparent magic enveloped the dagger blade in her hand. Then with a bang, the tip of the dagger blessed by magic easily pierced the wall of the box and sank into the box.

After a few seconds, the entire box was cut in half as the tip of Syfiel's knife moved. But when she was cutting it, strands of rancid black smoke leaked out of the box.

After discovering that the smoke had penetrated, Lawrence and the others did not rush to open the upper part of the cut box, but put it on the ground and used a stick to open it. I have to say that his decision was correct, because after the upper half of the box was picked up with a wooden stick, a large amount of black smoke emerged from the box and then disappeared into the air.

Just as the black smoke came out, a smell made Lawrence and the others had to cover their noses, because the smell was like a broken egg. When the black smoke and odor dissipated, everyone looked inside the box curiously, hoping to see what would be inside such a precious box for the first time.

"What's this?" What was in the box surprised everyone, because what appeared in front of them was a pile of organic matter close to carbonization. It was completely different from the kind of precious treasures they thought should be put in this kind of box.

"Don't move." Lawrence stopped Zhu Yan, who was curious and wanted to touch it in time. Then I took out my medical box from the space bag, took out the tweezers and bamboo sticks, took out the mess in the box, and placed it on a cloth that was just spread on the beach, and then on the white cloth. Spread out this pile of things a little bit.

Although this thing rotted a bit badly because the magic defense on the golden box was not activated, the sealing of the golden box itself had a certain effect before it didn't turn it into ashes. As Lawrence opened a little bit, a fragment of tights with a headgear appeared on the beach.

"I always feel that this thing shouldn't be in the original gold box." After crouching down and taking a closer look, Saifeier said his own point of view, "I can see that this dress should be leather, but no matter what Is the leather processing still too rough, even I feel that the leather is not well tanned."

"This is a stealth suit made of wild quilt leather." As Saifei said, this suit is an emergency product made in a hurry, so Zhu Yan passed those who still maintained the original characteristics of the creature. Leather recognized what the dress was made of.

"Yezi?" Both Lawrence and Saifei can communicate in Sinian, but for them, because they are not their mother tongue, they don't understand some exclusive nouns.

"This is an extraordinary creature that originally lived in Yingzhou. We traditionally call these kinds of monsters." Okita Sakura saw Lawrence and the others puzzled, so she stepped forward to explain. "This monster habit called the wild quilt is a bit like a bat, a kind of social creature that likes to be active at night."

"But unlike bats, they look more like a pillow towel. Not only do they make no sound when they fly, but it is also difficult to find them in the dark."

"Among the monsters in Yingzhou, this type of monster that eats small animals and insects for a living is considered to be more friendly to intelligent creatures. Under normal circumstances, it will not attack large creatures or humans, and it can also restrain insect monsters. Overreproduction."

"That means this thing is only available in Yingzhou?" Lawrence asked after listening to Okita Sakura's introduction of the clothing materials.

"How is it possible?" Okita Sakura shook her head. "Our ancestors and Aurora people came here with these things on the first boat accidentally. It only took more than ten years for UU Read www.uukanshu.com This stuff appeared in many places west of the Great Mountain Range."

"In other words, this dress is probably made in this neighborhood." Lawrence said with a little excitement. "Do you think this dress was put in after the person who took the treasure took off the clothes and put it in? I thought that the explosion would destroy the corpses, but I didn’t expect this golden box to be found not only without being blown up.”

"It's very possible." Zhu Yan also thought of something after hearing Lawrence's words. "According to the information I checked, when the war broke out that year, there were patrols on the entire coastline to avoid sneak attacks by the small groups of the Peacock Empire. Although they could not achieve full defense, these patrols did exist. So if this If one wants to return to the coast without being discovered, it is absolutely understandable to prepare some protective gear for oneself."

"It would be great if we could find the specific locations of the production areas of these wild quills." Saifei grumbled as he looked at the torn clothes in front of him, "Maybe we can find any useful clues from there."

"It's a pity that even in that era, this thing was widely distributed. So you can't tell the specific location by relying on these furs alone." Zhu Yan shook his head with regret. It was hard to get clues but clues. The feeling of breaking off again is terrible.
