Chapter 108 The Compass Needle
Shurima Palace, treasure side hall.

After discussing the results, Galen and Carter confirmed that there was no danger around the side hall, and then placed Cassie in a relatively safe corner in the back, and then, the two began to search for treasures in the entire hall!

The two divided into two ends, and started searching from both ends to the middle.

However, the amount of treasures in the hall exceeded their expectations. After searching for a while, they each found a very small part.

A little discouraged, Galen turned over a pile of dusty gold utensils, and there was a flat thumping sound. The dust was raised, and Galen couldn't help covering his nose and sneezing a few times.

When the smoke and dust settled down, Galen picked up a cup that looked like it was used to hold wine, poured out the sand in it, shook it in his hand, and asked Carter at the other end of the hall: "Carter, what about the hourglass? What does it look like? It’s not a good idea for us to rummage through boxes and chests like this! You have to have a rough look to find it.”

Carter stood up from a pile of pearls that had turned yellow, threw the few pearls in his palm aside, and scolded angrily: "I haven't seen it before, how do I know, this place is not big, things Quite a few, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack!”

Galen sat down on the ground, heard Carter's complaint, and said with a smile: "Carter, do you know the sea, hey, let me tell you, I grew up by the sea, if something falls into the sea Well, it’s really hard to find.”

Carter walked up to Galen, kicked him angrily, and said with a smile: "You are quite cheerful, then you live by the sea, do you people by the sea have a good way to find things in the sea?"

"I don't know how to find things, but if you want to find directions, there is a way!" Galen said mysteriously.

"What way? You said it." Carter crossed his hands on his chest and asked condescendingly.

"Compass! With a compass, you can find the right direction!" Galen said, raising his head and gesturing with the compass pointer in his hand.

"Compass?" Carter tilted his head and asked in doubt.

"Yes, the compass! The compass can always point to the south!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense! What I want to know is why the compass points south!"

"..."

Galen scratched his head in embarrassment, then laughed and said, "Actually, I don't know, but I heard from the crew on the merchant ship that it seems that the pointer has some kind of connection with the south. I don't know the details."

"Some kind of connection?"

Speaking of this, Galen was suddenly stunned, and then Galen stood up suddenly as if he had discovered a new world, ran to Cassie who was lying on the ground, hugged Cassie, and ran to the center of the side hall , keep turning your body, walk around and look around.

Seeing this, Cassie quickly scolded: "Hey, Galen, what are you doing running around with my sister in your arms! Be careful to drop her!"

Galen turned around frantically, and said, "Compass! Didn't you say that Cassie can sense the hourglass? Cassie is like a compass. Just look at the reaction on her face, and you can know the approximate shape of the hourglass. Where is it!"

Carter was stunned for a moment, then thought, Galen's approach is not bad, but seeing Galen dangling around with Cassie with a snake tail in his arms, Carter couldn't feel comfortable at all.

"Hey, Carter, come and take a look, the pattern on Cassie's face is most obvious when it faces this direction, it should be here!"

"where is it?"

"It's here!"

"You put Cassie in place, hey, don't litter!"

"Eh, eh, eh!"

Galen settled Cassie properly, and hurried over to help Carter toss around in the determined direction.

With the exact direction, it is much more convenient to find it, and throwing away all the things that seem to have nothing to do with the hourglass is much more efficient than just now.

Galen, who finally became interested in looking for things, looked at Carter throwing away irrelevant things, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Carter, you look so much like we are picking and fighting back from the sea. Auntie of the fish, haha."

boom!
A wine jug was smashed on Galen's forehead by Carter, and Carter cursed: "You dare to say that I look like an old lady, don't die!"

Galen hurriedly separated the relationship and explained: "No, no, I'm not saying that you look like an old lady, I mean that we look like we are picking fish, the point is to pick fish!"

With sharp eyesight and quick hands, Galen caught another golden bowl thrown by Carter, and said, "I mean it, why don't you listen to it, hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm wrong!"

"How dare you say that I look like an old lady!"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Galen said hastily, protecting his head.

"Do I really look like Auntie?" Carter stopped his hand that was about to hit, and asked in a low voice with a slightly red face.

"How is it possible? There is no such beautiful aunt as you. If there is one, I would rather be an uncle!" Galen replied without thinking.

But immediately, Galen realized that he seemed to have said something that should not have been said.

"Well, Carter, I...I..."

"What are you, toad wants to eat swan meat, find it for me quickly!"

"Eh, good."

Galen continued to toss about disheveledly, and couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Carter. Carter caught a glimpse and threw another one...it couldn't be a chamber pot!
Carter turned his back, touched his hot cheeks, and then secretly looked back at Galen, who had mischievous eyebrows, and glared at him shyly.

This Galen couldn't take it anymore, his whole face flushed immediately, and he hurriedly buried his head and started to rummage through things.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Galen and Carter lowered their heads, pretending to be rummaging through things, but actually they were thinking about each other.

Galen was holding a golden bowl in his hand, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Carter who was beside him.

Carter seemed to sense Galen's gaze, tilted his head shyly, and looked at Galen in the same way through the gap of the drooping red hair.

Then, Carter smiled, lowered his head, looked at a gold cup in his hand, and smiled without saying a word.

The awkward atmosphere became a little more subtle.

But at this moment, a voice shook the entire side hall, and all the settled dust was shaken off by the sound.

"Shurima, your emperor has returned!"

Galen and Carter, who were in this shy and sweet moment, heard it, and the wonderful feeling in their hearts disappeared instantly.

Both of them shivered, raised their heads, and looked at each other. The laughter on their faces disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

"The ghost emperor is back!" Galen said earnestly, his blushing face suddenly returning to normal.

"Hurry up and find the hourglass!" Carter also put away his smile, turned around and quickly rummaged through the pile of utensils.

With a very simple dialogue, two people communicated a lot of meaning.

Seeing Carter's reaction, Galen was not to be outdone, pouted his buttocks and started rummaging hard.

Because time waits for no one!

 Chapter 2, I try to keep two updates.
