Based on the large amount of evidence that Lawrence searched, everyone quickly determined the identity of the person who moved the boat. Obviously, the writer of the treasure record that Zhu Yan bought before wrote that he escaped only by himself.
I guess there should have been another transcendent who was much higher than him and escaped successfully.
That is to say, this escapee later returned to this place again, took away the things originally hidden in the mezzanine, hid the entire shipwreck in the mud of the river mouth, and blasted the cabin near the mezzanine for cover.
As for why the cabin was not completely blown to pieces, Lawrence thought it was probably because the man who moved the boat felt that he would have a chance to come back in a short time, and at the same time, he was alone and could not carry too many things. Therefore, he kept the lucky ones.
Psychologically keep the remaining wealth.
But now it seems from the results that something happened to that man, so he never returned here. That's why Lawrence and the others were still able to find so much wealth in the wreckage.
"It always feels a bit strange to just fish things out of the water after traveling thousands of miles away." Although Lawrence knew intellectually that adventures like this that don't take much effort but are very rewarding are the most important thing for every adventurer.
He hoped to encounter a form of adventure, but he always felt that something was missing from such an adventure.
Zhu Yan also looked a little regretful. For a person like him, pure wealth is not that attractive to him. What he really needs is to keep fighting in the adventure to gain further opportunities. Especially in the last astral plane.
After the trip, Okita Sakura successfully broke through the original level and became an official-level transcendent. This fact made him quite excited.
After a brief discussion about the things in the mezzanine and the whereabouts of the people who took such things away, time soon reached noon. Around 12 o'clock, a group of mermaids whose upper bodies were human and whose lower bodies had fish tails appeared.
On the coastline, a middle-aged mermaid turned his tail into legs and walked onto the beach.
Soon, Zhu Yan stepped forward to negotiate with the other party. Because the wreckage of the underwater ship had been basically discovered, and the dangerous traps above had basically been either removed or consumed by the monster's phantom.
.So this group of mermaids checked it out and then offered a low price.
"I thought they would ask a big price." Watching the mermaid move the treasures from the sea to the shore bit by bit, Lawrence said to Zhu Yan with a slight joking, "After all, ordinary people can't salvage them from the bottom of the water.
When something comes up, only they can do it quickly and well."
"But they will only charge reasonable fees, my friend." Zhu Yan said with a smile, "This is why this city is so prosperous and has so many people. But they have been able to monopolize the entire city for more than 100 years.
Reasons for underwater salvage operations in cities and nearby areas.”
"Sure enough, doing business must be based on integrity, no matter which world you are in." After listening to Zhu Yan's words, Lawrence nodded in agreement. These offshore mermaids are average in terms of strength and number.
And the only thing they can rely on to monopolize this relatively profitable business in the entire region is honesty.
But at this time, the mermaids did not start working but were waiting for something. Soon, a flat-bottomed barge sailed towards this place from the direction of the open sea, and the steam engine on the ship was still emitting wisps of white smoke.
"My family's boat is here." Zhu Yan said, looking at the small barge. "It is really difficult to transport those things by land in this area, so I simply asked the family to open a barge.
The boat will come over, and once the things are picked up, they will be put directly on the boat and transported away."
"That's a good idea." Lawrence nodded. Before, Zhu Yan only said that he would find someone to take this thing away. Lawrence originally thought that he would find a transcendent to take it away in a large space bag, but now it seems that their family
Indeed, the main force has been transferred to the north, so that now we can only rely on this ordinary method to transport items.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the wealth found this time mainly belongs to ordinary people. Therefore, even if Zhu Yan's family has emergency space bags, they will not be used for this.
"Now that the responders are here, we can withdraw." Zhu Yan said hello to the people on the barge, "Where are you going next? Do you have any plans?"
"Not yet." Lawrence shook his head. He came here this time to explore directly after receiving the letter, so he didn't prepare any travel plans. "If you have any good places to go, you can recommend them to us. After all,
This is our first time to the west coast of the New World."
"There are many interesting places in Xinzhou Republic." Zhu Yan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Even the interesting attractions near Xinkuaiji can keep you entertained for a month or two. I really want to recommend them to you.
If so, I don’t know which type of attractions I should recommend to you.”
After hearing that there were many scenic spots, Lawrence and Saphire became a lot more energetic. Although this adventure was not exciting enough for them, it would be a good choice if they could take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the exotic scenery. But they
Before he could say what kind of attractions he wanted to see, Lawrence's eyes suddenly focused on the hand of a mermaid who was coming ashore.
"In fact, you can go and see the Confucius Temple in Xinkuaiji. As a god, he is very benevolent and allows people to live or do business near his temple, and is willing to protect those who live nearby and abide by his creed, so Xinkuaiji
The area around the Confucius Temple in Kuaiji is the most prosperous place in the city—" Zhu Yan introduced the nearby attractions in a gushing manner, but as soon as he got to this point, he saw Lawrence staring directly behind him.
Feeling a little curious, Zhu Yan turned around and looked in the direction of his gaze, only to see Lawrence staring at a gold box the size of a briefcase held by a mermaid.
"Don't worry, brother, we will share the finances equally when the time comes." Zhu Yan put his hand on Lawrence's shoulder and said. When they rocked the boat and searched together before, the relationship between the two people became much more familiar, so they got along well.
It was a lot more casual at the time. "If you like this and this gold box, I'll give it to you when the time comes."
"That's not the problem." Lawrence walked over there and said to the few people following him, "I have searched all the cabins before, but I have never seen this thing."
"Is it because you didn't find it?" As soon as Zhu Yan said these words, Saifei expressed a different point of view. "No way, this gold box is so big and looks so conspicuous. Bookworm-
—It’s impossible for Lawrence to turn a blind eye to something like this. It would be possible if it was some gadget or something inconspicuous.”
"That's right." This reason was very reasonable, so Zhu Yan was convinced. Then he walked forward and asked the mermaid about the origin of the box.
"We found this around the wreckage, more than 20 meters away from the main body of the wreckage." As he spoke, the mermaid placed the box on the beach. Judging from his posture and the sound of the box falling to the ground, he knew that the shell of the box should be very thin, but because of its size
The question is not light. "If this thing were not made of gold and was heavy enough to sink into the mud, it would probably have been washed away by the current."
After the mermaid gave a brief explanation and went into the water again, Lawrence and the others immediately gathered around the golden box. Because the texture, size and decoration of the box all showed that it was extraordinary.
"This box looks like it contains some kind of valuables." Lawrence made a simple judgment after looking at the box for the first time. "Maybe this is one of the things lost in the mezzanine."
