214 Harvest and Doubt

"I don't think we need to go into the water for the time being." Seeing Zhu Yan and the others' expressions of bitterness, Lawrence glanced at everyone and raised his doubts, "Don't you think something is wrong?"

"Where -" Zhu Yan was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped as if he thought of something. Then he took out the notebook recording the information about the remains from his arms and compared it with a map Lawrence had just drawn.

"What's wrong?" Okita Sakura asked after seeing Zhu Yan's movements. "Did you find something?"

"Yes, right here." Zhu Yan put together a map he had drawn based on the contents of his notebook and the picture Lawrence had just drawn, then looked at Lawrence and said. "You are right,

There is indeed a big problem here.”

After speaking, he pointed to the two maps and said to the two ladies who were still confused: "Look, what is drawn on this cover is the location where this section of the cabin was abandoned here, and on the map Lawrence just drew

But the entire cabin is a few hundred meters to the west."

"According to your statement, hundreds of years have passed since this cabin sank." Saifei looked a little puzzled after hearing Zhu Yan's explanation. "The sea cannot be as calm as the artificial lake in the park.

So is it any wonder that the wreckage shifted due to the impact of ocean currents?"

"Safir, you may not know this if you don't live by the sea. Although the currents in the sea are very powerful and can easily wash away everything, they have rules." Sakura Okita carelessly put her elbow on Sai.

On Phil's shoulder, he then raised his other hand and pointed to the mouth of the river in the distance and said. "For example, in a place like this, after the river enters the sea, the impact is likely to extend thousands of meters into the sea -

—”

"I understand." After listening to Okita Sakura's words, Saifei lowered his head and glanced at the changes in the ship's position on the two maps, and then a clear expression appeared on his face. "Because of the impact at the mouth of the river, that

Even if the wreckage is affected by the current, it should be far away from the river's mouth, rather than close to the river's mouth like this."

"Yes." Lawrence nodded. "And I am ordering those phantoms to clean up the mud at the break of the wreckage, and try to see if we can enter the cabin through the break to find more clues."

What followed was more than an hour of busy work. The four monster shadows cooperated with Nola to clean up a fracture and entered. Soon, they discovered valuable gains.

But when the things were fished out of the water, everyone else on the boat looked puzzled. Because the large package brought out this time contained a lot of various rusty and even overgrown marine life.

Besides the debris, there was a twisted and damaged iron door.

"Those guys from the Mauryan Empire were really rich back then." Zhu Yan first looked at a few research vessels that were in good condition but were completely rusted into a ball due to the destruction of the ship and being soaked in sea water for too long. Then he took it from his waist.

He took out his bayonet and scratched the surface of these things, then made a sighing sound.

"Indeed, this is good news for us. It means that our expected harvest this time will be more than imagined." Lawrence nodded, because Zhu Yan scraped off part of the rust layer attached to the vessel, so Lawrence

They discovered that these magical instruments were inlaid with a lot of gold and silver filaments for decoration.

After checking the salvaged things, Lawrence began to introduce what he had just discovered on the seabed. He first pointed to the iron door and said: "This is the most important discovery just now. My monster phantom and constructed doll took a lot of time."

It took a lot of effort to remove this thing from the fragments of the hull."

"Look here -" Lawrence pointed to the deformation on the iron door and said, "From the iron door and the fractures in the wreckage, we can see that the fractures in the shipwreck were not the ones that protected the ship after the magic power disappeared in the sea water and time.

It broke naturally under the attack, but it was exploded by a very precise internal blow."

"You are right." As a magic gunner who deals with explosives all day long, Zhu Yan quickly saw the problem from the door, "Obviously, this door was destroyed by the explosion, and the power of the explosion

It comes from inside the cabin. At the same time, the fractures of the wreckage that were just cleaned up look a little too neat."

"——In other words, someone has been here before us." Lawrence explained to the two ladies who were still confused. "Now we just don't know who this person is and who was taken away from here.

What."

"But don't worry, we still made money from this adventure." Zhu Yan said, picking up the rusted metal block. "Obviously the person who blew up this wreckage did not empty out the wealth in this wreckage.

, I found that these salvaged equipment used a lot of precious metals and even magic metal raw materials when manufacturing them. Even just recycling them can make us a lot of money. Now I just don’t know how many similar things are there.

."

Zhu Yan's family is famous for manufacturing various weapons, and the research and smelting of metals is naturally indispensable. Even the most important wealth of this family is neither the special steel smelting plant nor the gunpowder factory, nor the famous weapons and weapons.

These weapons are inherited by the magic gunners and machine masters, but they are the clan members of the family and their research institute that studies various material formulas.

So he naturally knew that if he could find enough of this kind of thing from the wreckage, it would be a lot of money to bring it to the family factory, and he would make back his capital with profits from this adventure.

In fact, in real adventures, at most 1/3 people can achieve the goals they want. Many times, not only do they fail to gain profits, but they also put money into it. Therefore, people like Lawrence and others who seem to be taking risks this time are taking risks that are expected to make a profit.

The results are considered to be relatively good.

After thoroughly understanding the situation, Lawrence and the others first rowed the boat back to the shore to eat some food and take care of the housekeeping. Then they rowed back and Lawrence controlled the monster phantom to search underwater.

Perhaps because the Habbit has the priesthood of the river god, Nora is also very interested in going into the water, especially when the water is at the mouth of a river. At the same time, Nora also found that she can control fresh water underwater.

So with her help, the cleanup work became much easier, especially after Zhu Yan figured out the general situation underwater and took out a lot of explosives that could be used underwater to help with the demolition, which greatly accelerated the cleanup.

.

When night fell, Lawrence, who had completed the investigation of all cabins in the ship, climbed out of the ship with the help of Zhu Yan. After all, summoning and controlling the phantoms of these monsters for several hours was really mentally taxing for Lawrence.

It's such a huge consumption that even if the magic power can hold it up, people can't hold it back.

However, the overall search was quite fruitful, because the bottom hold used as an escape cabin was the lowest level on the ship at that time, so it contained a lot of things. After removing some dead animals, rotten food and possible

In addition to timber, ropes and some tools used to repair the ship, they found eight cabins containing potentially valuable items.

Three of them are warehouses containing various utensils. Except for one, which contains various high-value props and precious metal vessels used for alchemy and magic experiments, the other two contain various exquisite pottery and glass.

Utensils. According to Zhu Yan, these items are very popular antiques on the market and can be sold for a good price.

The other four warehouses are basically filled with various raw materials. Due to the soaking in sea water and the passage of time, most of the things inside have completely lost their effectiveness, but there are still some things that can still be used.

The most important warehouse was located in the center of the wreckage and was reinforced with steel plates. Lawrence found a lot of tableware and utensils made of precious metals inside, as well as two small boxes of more than 2,000 Mauryan Empire silver coins.
