Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 338: search for

Since awakening Bai Zetu's ability, Lawrence has collected more than a dozen kinds of monsters. But the problem is that the combat power of these phantoms is a bit too horrible. For Lawrence, where they can defeat the enemy, it takes a little seriousness to easily kill it, and more often it is because of their low strength, and there is no way to participate in the battle.

So when Lawrence first owned Bai Zetu, the idea that a group of monsters and phantoms would emerge out of thin air and drown the enemy seemed impossible to achieve in a short time, but he also developed another way and developed Bai Zetu's. Another usage.

That is to let these monster phantoms use as their own eyes to scout, or as coolies to carry various things after the battle. And these phantoms can even achieve various unexpected effects after being used with Paper Man Magic.

For example, these monster phantoms can bring a stack of paper people to break through places that cannot be approached because the paper people are too fragile, and then release these paper people to conduct large-scale investigations of the surrounding environment.

And now, Lawrence and the others are standing on the Enterprise's deck while eating coconuts, while waiting for the results of the investigation by the paper men and monster ghosts.

Pirates tend to use their ingenuity when hiding things on the ship, hiding in various parts of the hull. If you only rely on manpower to find it, unless the ship is completely dismantled, it is easy for wealth to slip through the net in the search. For example, when Lawrence was in Eagle Castle before, he often heard from the workers who came to the tavern to drink. Rumors that the workers at the shipyard and shipbreaking yard found rings, gold coins and even gold coins from the cracks in the splints when they were dismantling old ships. It is a thick wad of money.

The pirates are no exception. For example, the paper people of Lawrence found all kinds of hidden wealth in the small spaces such as the cracks in the splints and under the barrels. Even Lawrence found in the sunken wooden ship that someone dared to make a hole in the ship board to hide wealth, and then used wood chips to block the hole.

As time went by, Lawrence slowly began to see a pile of loot in front of them. Part of it was the spoils just salvaged from the sunken ship, and it looked soggy. The other part was obtained from the two pirate ships still floating on the sea.

These trophies look a little messy, including various precious metal currencies, as well as the paper money of the Star Sea and even the economically stable countries of the Old World. There are even various precious metal fragments that are divided into small pieces due to cutting or other means, but it is quite in line with the habit of pirates to divide the loot.

Finally, dragged by a group of monsters Xuyin, the two safes were also dragged onto the deck of Enterprise by the group of monster shadows. Then put it together with the wealth found in various parts of the pirate ship.

After all the paper men and monster phantoms had returned, Lawrence and the others threw the empty coconut shell into the sea, and then walked to the captain's cabin of the two ships together. Because according to the paper people's return, the only place where wealth may exist is a cabinet in the pirate flagship captain's room that has been put on magic defense.

The safe of the sunken ship and the safe on the steam sailing ship that had just surrendered had been moved to the Enterprise, and the next job was handled by the first officer. According to the rules, 1/4 of the seized wealth that has nothing to do with the extraordinary will be handed over to the navy, and the remaining 3/4 will be distributed by all the non-superiors who participated in the war.

The wealth distributed by the ship’s personnel will be divided into many parts. One-eighth of the total wealth belongs to the commander and one-eighth to the management. The ship’s deputy captain, navigator, marine captain, and carpenter are equivalent to the company. The management team shares 1/8 of the total amount; 1/8 belongs to the backbone of the business; the doctors, pastors, and chief officers on the ship get one-eighth; 1/8 belongs to the secretaries, junior officers, Marine Corps non-commissioned officers, and doctors The assistants are divided equally into 1/8; the final 1/4 is redistributed by ordinary sailors.

However, because the Enterprise is relatively small, many people on board are part-time. So many people can get two or even three fortunes. For example, as an extraordinary combatant, Lawrence can only get trophies from extraordinary trophies in theory, but in this battle he also served as a commander, a doctor and a doctor’s assistant, so he can also get the money according to the rules. To part.

Of course, for Lawrence and the extraordinary men on the ship, although these worldly wealth made them shine, it was far less attractive to them than the extraordinary treasures in the safe on the pirate flagship.

After pushing open the door of the pirate group leader's room, it was as empty as everyone thought. However, because of the previous discovery, everyone simply bypassed the table where the treasure might be hidden or the wooden box locked at the foot of the bed, and finally came to a large closet.

"My paper man and the monster phantom just lost contact here." Lawrence pointed to the concealed cabinet door and said on the wooden floor outside the cabinet door there were seven or eight groups of humanoid ashes the size of a palm. .

These ashes are the traces left by the little paper figures and monster phantoms that Lawrence commanded just now after trying to open this cabinet. Of course, the ashes were only produced by the burning of the little paper people after being severely injured, and the monster ghosts did not leave anything after being defeated.

"Is there something abnormal on this cabinet?" At this time, the agricultural druid of the Church of the Agricultural Goddess asked curiously, because he didn't think there was anything wrong with the cabinet in front of him.

"There should be something abnormal, otherwise the paper men of my son would not be burned to ashes in an instant." Mr. Lambert naturally knew the characteristics of Lawrence’s paper man’s magic. After learning back, Lawrence’s paper man has climbed a larger step than before, at least in terms of fire resistance. If it is an ordinary flame, it will take 15 seconds to continuously burn before it can catch fire, like this kind of situation that burns to ashes in an instant. It must be abnormal.

As a priest of the Church of Knowledge, Lawrence's adoptive father, Mr. Lambert, seemed quite experienced in facing such a situation. He took out a magic prop made of brass and glass from his arms and held it in front of his left eye with his left hand. After carefully inspecting the cabinet, he tried to release some magic, then turned his head and said to others

"There are indeed some very dangerous magic set up on this, and it is very hidden. If I hadn't known it in advance, it would be more troublesome to touch than expected, and it may even be life-threatening."

"Father~lightnovelpub.net~ Is this thing really so troublesome?" Lawrence asked: "That person is just a black priest of the same level as you. There should not be enough level to set up such a powerful magic item. Right."

"You are right, the Black Priest itself should not have such a level." Mr. Lambert shook his head gently, then put away the magic props and stood up and said. "But the existence behind him that he served before should have such energy."

The black priest serves certain lower planes, and even certain evil existences in the astral plane. The power of these existences is very different, the weakest is equivalent to the level of a demigod, but the top ones are even comparable to the powerful gods.

And the existence behind this black priest should be equivalent to a **** of medium power, so it is normal for him to feel headaches for the Orthodox priests of the same rank for the insurance of his own black priest on the cabinet.

However, since that existence is mainly strong in privacy, I want to solve the above problem after being found to be abnormal. The difficulty is not too great. Only ten minutes later, with a sound of breaking glass from the cabinet, Lambert stepped back and nodded and said, "Okay, the magic trap above has been eliminated. Next, let's see if there is something inside. what."
