Path of Light.

Chapter 80 81. Treasure Map

Except for the largest cell in the bilge, the rest are divided rooms arranged on both sides of the corridor.

There is only a layer of soft mud left in the corridor, because it is dry enough so it is not sticky to the feet. Under the illumination of the sacred light, the traces of sea water spreading on the wooden walls on both sides still remain, and some seaweed is still stained under the walls .

Roy came out of the bottom cabin where the Naga mermaid was detained, and tried to push open the hatches on both sides of the corridor. When the ship was picked up from the port, the bottom cabin was filled with seawater, and the supplies in the cabin had not been removed.

Many rooms are filled with shelves filled with large wooden boxes.

It is estimated that if there are no Naga mermaids imprisoned in the bilge, these rooms should be the place to store goods.

Roy stood in front of the shelf, asked Abbott for a dagger, and pried open a wooden box, which contained harpoon gun shafts wrapped with oiled paper wax seals, each gun shaft was black and shiny. , one end can be riveted together with the arrowhead, and the other end can be connected with the tail feathers.

The harpoon gun shaft made of this metal is very heavy, and it is obviously prepared for the spear gun on the bow ram.

There are three rows of shelves in the whole room, and there are four large wooden boxes on each shelf, which seem to be filled with this kind of metal gun barrels.

Sure enough, it was the warehouse on the ship. Roy went to look at the other two cabins. As expected, besides the gun shaft, Roy also found an arrow with countless spikes. foot.

The tail feathers of this kind of harpoon do not seem to be made of feathers, but look like a kind of fish fin, embedded in the metal rod, and there is a hanging ring connecting the hook line at the back...

Roy didn't expect that the elves at the port didn't enter the bottom of the cabin. They probably felt that the bottom cabin was filled with sea water, and it was impossible to store supplies in the cabin.

To keep these brand new harpoons.

The inside and outside of the wooden box are very damp, and every oiled paper bag is wet, so it is estimated that we must seize the time to dry it.

Not every bilge is stocked with supplies. Although there are many wooden boxes in the bilges near the stairs, the wooden boxes are empty, and there are obvious signs of being turned over. It should be that some elf patrols endured the foul-smelling seawater and went down to the bottom cabin to search for a few rooms. They probably thought that the wooden boxes in these rooms were all empty, and the bottom cabins behind them leaked like this.

Abbott looked at more than a dozen boxes of harpoons, and whispered to Roy:

"What are we going to do with these things?"

"Just put it here first... If no one mentions it, it belongs to us."

After speaking, Roy walked out of the cabin and closed the hatch that was deformed by the sea water again.

In fact, this ship has three floors, the bottom cabin is located on the second floor below the deck, and there is a closed cabin at the bottom.This layer is to ensure that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, the boat will not capsize, and the bottom is filled with rocks for counterweight.

Roy walked to a bottom cabin near the stern. The Naga Killer opened a hole through the ceiling of this room, leading him into the bedroom above which only captain-level crew members are eligible to live. Escape from this sea ship.

A beam of light shines through the hole in the roof. This cabin is the most messy, and the wooden frames leaning against the wall have collapsed.

However, when Roy walked away from the collapsed wooden frame, he found that there was still a painting hanging behind the collapsed wooden frame. The cabin has been filled with seawater for a long time, and the picture frame is about to fall apart, and the left frame has been completely separated.

"A lot of the wooden boards here are already rotten. If the bilge is remodeled in the future, these will have to be replaced."

With that said, Roy reached out and touched the picture frame on the wall.

Roy didn't expect that he just touched it casually with his hands, and the painting fell apart completely, and fell off with a 'crash'.

It startled Abbot next to him.

Roy walked towards the door and continued:
"The wooden boards outside the hull have been burned, and the surface has been painted with thick paint to prevent corrosion and insects. The shelves inside are not so strong, look..."

Abbott dragged the sacred twilight with his hands, and he had already walked to the wall, and said to Roy:

"Roy, come and see what this is..."

Roy looked back at Abt, and found that this guy was standing on the shelf, staring at the place where the picture frame fell, and there was actually a small hidden storage compartment exposed on the wooden wall.

Abt had already found out the dagger at his waist, and pried open the wooden board sealed outside the storage compartment, revealing a small space as expected.

Abt reached out and groped inside, and found a sealed parchment tube from inside. After handing it to Roy, he took out a leather bag from inside.

The rope of the leather bag had been completely rotted, and Abt carefully held it with both hands before taking it out. His eyes were both disturbed and excited, shining brightly.

"Come on, go to the deck..." Roy felt that the place was a bit dark, and it was not suitable for opening the sealed paper tube in his hand.

But whether it is a parchment tube or a leather bag, since it can be hidden in this hidden grid, it must be worth hiding.

The two ran up the stairs one after the other, and when they saw Jasper still sitting at the head of the boat in a daze, they called him over...

I don't know how long this guy has been sitting on the bow. Obviously Tiffany didn't come.

"Where did you two go?"

Jasper asked curiously when he saw the two people crawling up from the cabin below the deck in a dirty state.

Abt smiled, and showed off to Jasper: "We just re-examined the bilge of the ship, and found these in a dark compartment behind a shelf..."

As he spoke, he tore open the leather bag in front of the three of them.

Roy leaned his head over, and there was a black stone the size of half a pocket of walnut inside, and the skin had wrinkle like walnut.

I remember that the remuneration given to Jasper by the second officer Nelev was this kind of black stone.

"Oh my god, it's actually a bag of magic cores!" Jasper exaggeratedly exclaimed, "We've made a fortune..."

Abbott also said with a smile on his face:

"Haha, I was still worrying about where to get some money to repair this big ship yesterday. I didn't expect to find a bag of magic cores today. Roy, Roy, we sent..."

"Is this thing valuable?" Roy didn't know much about magic cores.

Abt and Jasper nodded again and again.

Jasper said happily, "Of course, there are magic spars hidden in this thing. Do you know how much Kohler can be exchanged for one magic spar?"

Abt immediately echoed: "One magic spar can be exchanged for five baekiles."

Roy looked at most of the magic cores in his pocket, and said with a click of his tongue, "Wow, that's really worth a lot of money!"

"Roy, hurry up and see what's in the paper tube?" Jasper urged.

Abt, who was sitting on the side, smiled, and then said: "I hope there is a treasure map inside, which records the wealth left to us by the captain of this ship..."

Roy didn't talk nonsense, directly put the paper tube in his hand on the deck, and picked up Abt's dagger, cut the wax seal on the edge of the paper tube, pried open one end of the paper tube with the tip of the knife, and opened the inside things fell on the deck.

It was a dilapidated parchment roll, the surface was not only yellowish, but also blackened in many places around the edges.

But when Roy opened the corner of the parchment, Abbott and Jasper raised their hands at the same time, howling like wolves.

Because the pattern drawn on the parchment is a nautical chart, and a nautical chart that is eligible to be hidden in a paper tube, what else can it be if it is not a treasure?
Roy was also a little excited, his hands trembling a little.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing...

After fully unfolding the parchment, a treasure map appeared in front of the three of them very clearly.

In the middle of the treasure map was wrapped a half-foot-long golden key, which was heavy in the hand. This key was in the shape of a standard clover, and the other end was a golden round tube with some complicated patterns carved on the wall. Those patterns are carved very deep and very delicate.

Roy did not go to pick up the golden key, but looked at the nautical chart on the somewhat worn-out parchment. The nautical chart was fairly complete, but the parchment itself was not square. Some islands were hand-painted on it, and the handwriting was also blurred. It was very scribbled, and Roy couldn't understand many things.

"Is this a treasure map?" Abt leaned over and asked excitedly.

"Maybe." Roy said, pushing the sheepskin treasure map in front of him.

Jasper also came over, holding the golden key in his hand, and said excitedly:

"In my opinion...we might as well use this money to repair this sea ship, and then drive this ship to sea to find this treasure..."

Abt looked at the 60-meter-long big ship, and reminded Jasper:

"Even if the big ship is repaired, I don't think the three of us will be able to drive it out of the port. It's better to find a flying fishing boat on the dock, at least the three of us can drive it."

"Yes, then let's rent a flying fish boat!"

Roy rolled his eyes, and reminded the two whimsical trainee priests:

"Both captains, it's the rainy season now, and there are often storms at sea. It should be fine for the flying fish boat to go around the sea, but I'm afraid it won't work if you go far away..."

Abt stared at the parchment chart, suddenly realized something, pointed to the treasure map and asked Jasper and Roy:
"By the way, do you guys know where this is?"

Jasper narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, finally looked up at Roy, and asked expectantly:

"Roy, didn't you study sailing at the Elven Academy? You should know!"

Roy said very speechlessly:

"Both... please note that I have just taken classes at the Elven Academy for three weeks, and I have taken courses in elementary martial arts, geography of the elf continent, and modern history of elves, so I can only be sure that this place will no longer be stuck. Near Seldon Harbor!"

"Oh……"

Jasper and Abbott immediately sat down with disappointment on their faces.
