Outside the porthole window.

The sound of rain has never stopped since the privateer fleet left the port of Hatrafa.

The weather in the Golden Sea becomes more and more extreme during the rainy season, which is really not friendly to ship navigation.

During this season, only merchant ships and military warships with sufficient tonnage dare to go to sea. The high seas have become a restricted area for small ships. If they are unlucky enough to encounter strong winds and waves, there is an immediate danger of capsizing.

certainly.

This is not a problem at all for the "Venus", which has a displacement of 2,340 tons, and the other three fifth-level ships or similar pirate ships in the fleet, "Gladiator", "Wrestler", and "Ironbone".

At this time, there were only two people in the captain's cabin, Alvin and Milan.

They were staring intently at the ever-changing "Ocean Secret Treasure Storm Bottle" in the middle of the table, as well as the two round glass bottles next to it that were somewhat similar in shape to the Storm Bottle.

Among them, it was raining moderately in the storm bottle just like the outside world, and it was accompanied by a level 3 sea breeze. Obviously, this rain would basically not change in the next twelve hours.

It's not surprising that this secret treasure can predict the weather.

But the strange thing is that the two round bottles containing solutions next to them are also changing!

The precipitate and hazy liquid coexist in the bottle. On the "Phenomena and Weather Comparison Table" next to it, the icon drawn in advance shows that this situation also represents wind and rain.

And the most amazing thing is that the degree of precipitation and haze is exactly the same as the changing pattern of wind and rain in a storm bottle!

Apparently for some unknown reason, there has been some magical connection between the bottles.

"How is this going?"

Repeatedly comparing the two glass bottles and the storm bottle next to him, Milan was filled with disbelief.

Can man-made things achieve the magical effects of ocean treasures? Can the unique absoluteness of ocean treasures be replicated?

"I don't know either.

I just made two glass bottles with alchemical solution and placed them together with the storm bottle.

Then suddenly one day I realized something was wrong.

Originally they could only respond to the outside temperature, but they actually had some mystical connection with the Storm Bottle.

It is no longer limited to the element of temperature, but also has the effect of indicating the weather.”

Alvin was also a little confused.

I just followed the modern world's formula and used distilled water, ethanol, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride and camphor to make a toy-like "weather prediction bottle", and actually had the ability to predict the weather.

And after these days of observation, the comparison table drawn is extremely accurate, which is really incredible.

However, after some speculation, we know that this is most likely the unknown hidden ability possessed by the "Ocean Secret Treasure - Storm Bottle".

"So you still need to do spiritual detection to determine what is going on with these man-made objects.

How is the reliability? How long does it last?

If it is really practical, then even during the hurricane season in the New World from May to October.

Our privateers can also have greater confidence to go to sea, greatly reducing the possibility of being in danger due to extreme weather conditions at sea."

Although it feels a bit incredible, the facts are indeed before our eyes.

Milan has confirmed that this seemingly useless storm bottle also hides secrets that it failed to discover during its initial detection.

If such bottles that can accurately predict the weather can be produced in large quantities, it will have extraordinary significance for ordinary ships in the fleet and even the shipping industry!

However, when he placed ritual candles on the table, dropped laurel essential oil, and activated spiritual detection with all his strength.

But we got a mixed result.

The artificial storm bottle does have the same effect as the secret treasure storm bottle, and can function independently in different areas.

This magical power most likely comes from the contamination of "similar items" by the Storm Bottle.

If there is a bottle filled with clean water or a solid crystal ball that has no change at all, this invisibility will not take effect.

Secondly, the effect of these "artificial storm bottles" can only last for half a year. After half a year, they need to be placed together with the ocean treasures to "recharge" for half a month before they can be used again.

The most important thing is that there is an upper limit to the power of the ocean secret treasure. This kind of infestation ability can only be maintained at most about fifteen at the same time.

"This is already good. Although there is no way to promote it on a large scale, considering the scale of our dragoons, it is completely enough in a short time.

I will seize the time to make a few more, at least so that the privateers within the Dragoons can use them."

Ivan didn't feel it was a pity. Even if he could only produce fifteen "artificial storm bottles", the value of the originally useless storm bottles would rise sharply in an instant.

Only true sailors know how important an accurate weather forecast is to the navigation industry.

Especially when facing sudden extreme strong convective weather, such as heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, strong winds, hail, tornadoes, etc.

Being able to predict the situation twelve hours in advance almost means that the lives of a boatload of people have been saved.

"By the way, it seems the agreed time has arrived."

At this time, Milan took out his pocket watch, took a look, and reminded Alvin.

After hearing this, Aiwen waved his hand to put away the three bottles on the table and snapped his fingers.

Snapped--

The spiritual barrier that shrouded the "cursed oil painting" on the wall of the captain's cabin has quietly dissipated.

At this moment, the scene in the oil painting also changed simultaneously.

What was originally a sinking flute-shaped ship gradually turned into a curly-haired middle-aged wealthy businessman with rings all over his hands and a classic but valuable outfit.

Looking at Alvin and Milan sitting in the captain's cabin, the wealthy businessman not only did not show the joy of being able to take a breath like other personalities, but instead seemed quite impatient:

"I heard that nosy guy in Katalov say, you have something to ask me for help?

Everyone's time is precious, please show me the benefits first.

I only counted the treasures in the treasure house twice today, and I have to count them three more times before I can sleep!"

At this time, what exists in the "cursed oil painting" is a "demon in the painting" with the personality of the wizard Simpson as the main character and countless victims as the secondary ones.

A crazy old man, a learned aristocratic artist, a wealthy businessman who regards wealth as his life, a clumsy thief... After so many days of observation, the total number of personalities recorded by Ivan may be around thirty-three.

After a long exchange with Katalov.

Alvin has learned that among the many personalities, Clifford, a wealthy businessman who regards wealth as his life, also gained control of Simpson's shadow vault by virtue of his strong obsession with wealth.

And he is obviously the "fool" that Ivan needs in his plot to plot the wizard's treasure trove!

Now after hearing what he said as soon as he appeared on the stage, Alvin knew that he had indeed found the right person, and he didn't even need to say more words to him.

He opened his palms to reveal three shiny golden lions in his palms. In the eyes of the wealthy businessman Clifford, who was already shining brightly in the painting, he had already thrown them towards the oil painting.

"Ah, gold coins! They're all mine!"

He didn't care at all about Ai Wen's inexplicable behavior. At this time, he only saw three gold coins rolling in the air.

In the painting, a stubby finger with a ring on it was stretched out and swiped in the air. In an instant, a dark hole opened on the surface of the oil painting.

It happened to swallow all the three golden lions flying over in line, and then immediately closed them up and disappeared.

The wealthy businessman Clifford rubbed his hands with great joy.

Who knows how long it has been since I was unable to move under the water without any new treasures being added to my treasure house.

"Ha! You gave this to me yourself, and I didn't agree to any of your requests. Goodbye, stupid boys!"

After mocking the two of them, Clifford disappeared directly, and the scene gradually changed back to the original appearance of the shipwreck.

Clifford, who was anxious to appreciate the new wealth, did not notice at all that when he opened the treasure house and collected the three gold coins, a slender black shadow had already entered the treasure house.

He didn't even know that what Aiwen wanted him to do was to open the treasure house door so that Kaka could go in...

"Although I said I was looking for a fool, but...is this guy too stupid? He succeeded so easily?"

Milan was stunned when he saw Clifford's performance from the side.

Ivan shrugged beside him. He didn't know why such a greedy guy who "ran for a small profit" hadn't been beaten to death by other personalities.

Maybe you don't need three gold coins, but can achieve the same effect with one copper fur...

(Colliford: It's so insulting. At least...two!)

"Just wait a moment, Kaka should be here soon..."

Before Ivan could finish his words, a black shadow emerged from the oil painting again and turned into a large black lizard.

"Kaka...kaka..."

Shaking his head, wagging his tail, and shouting happily, he asked Alvin for credit.

Apparently the theft has been successful!

Ivan rubbed his hands in the same manner as Clifford just now and couldn't wait to see what precious collection Simpson, the ancient wizard of the Shadow School, had.

Put your hands on Kaka, and with its cooperation, your spiritual power has spread into its shadow vault.

"Wow, he is indeed a rich man!"

The large amount of casting materials suitable for the shadow school and black magic is secondary. Although it is worth a lot of money now, it is no longer taken too seriously by the wealthy Alvin.

But when he saw a crystal bottle surrounded by a bunch of treasures, his heartbeat instantly accelerated.

I couldn't help but have a thought and took it out directly from Kaka's shadow vault.

After seeing it, Kaka, who was lying on the ground, was a little restless, wanting to get close but also a little afraid.

"This is..."

The bottle is two-thirds full of black-red viscous liquid.

But in the eyes of Alvin and Milan, it seems that the shadow has liquefied into substance. Even though three hundred years have passed, a dazzling extraordinary aura still blooms in the spiritual vision.

Apparently still maintaining amazing activity!

The two looked at each other and said in unison with some disbelief:
Chapter completed!
