Outside the porthole.
Ever since the privateer fleet left Hatrapha Harbor, the sound of rain had never stopped.
The weather in the rainy season was increasingly extreme in the Golden Sea. It wasn't too friendly for ships to sail.
In this season, only merchant ships and military warships with sufficient tonnage dared to go out to sea. The open sea had become a forbidden zone for small ships. If they were unlucky enough to encounter strong winds and waves, they would immediately be in danger of capsizing.
Of course.
For the Morning Star, which had a displacement of 2,340 tons, as well as the other three fifth-grade warships in the fleet or similar pirate ships — Gladiator, Wrestler, and Iron Bone — this wasn't a problem at all.
Right now, only Elvin and Milan were in the captain's cabin.
They were staring at the Secret Treasure of the Sea, Storm Bottle, which was constantly changing in the middle of the table, as well as the two round glass bottles that looked similar to the Storm Bottle.
It was raining in the Storm Bottle, just like the outside world. It was accompanied by a third-grade sea breeze. Clearly, this rain wouldn't change much in the next twelve hours.
It wasn't strange for this secret treasure to be able to predict the weather.
However, the strange thing was that the two bottles beside it were also undergoing the same change!
Precipitation and hazy liquid coexisted in the bottles. On the side, there was a 'Phenomenon and Weather Comparison Table'. An icon had been drawn beforehand to indicate that this situation represented the wind and rain.
The most amazing thing was that the precipitation and hazy level was completely consistent with the wind and rain in the Storm Bottle!
Clearly, for some unknown reason, a mystical connection had been formed between the bottles.
"What's going on?"
Repeatedly comparing the two glass bottles to the Storm Bottle, Milan's face was filled with disbelief.
Man-made items could actually achieve the mystical effects of the Secret Treasure of the Sea? Could the uniqueness of the Secret Treasure of the Sea be replicated?
"I don't know either.
I only used the alchemy solution to create two glass bottles and placed them together with the Storm Bottle.
Then one day, I suddenly realized that something was amiss.
They, which could only react to the temperature of the outside world, actually formed a mystical connection with the Storm Bottle.
It was no longer limited to the element of temperature. It also had the effect of indicating the weather. "
Elvin was also a little confused.
He had only followed the formula of the modern world, using distilled water, ethanol, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride, and camphor to make a toy-like "weather forecast bottle". It actually had the ability to predict the weather.
Moreover, after these days of observation, the accuracy of the comparison table drawn was extremely high. It was really incredible.
However, after some speculation, it was very likely that this was the unknown hidden ability of the "Storm Bottle, the secret treasure of the sea".
"That's why I'll need you to do another Spiritual Detection to determine what's going on with these man-made objects.
How reliable is it? How long could it last?
If it was really practical, then even during the hurricane season of May-October in the new continent.
Our privateers will be able to go out to sea with greater confidence, greatly reducing the possibility of encountering danger due to extreme weather. "
Although it was a little inconceivable, the truth was right in front of him.
Milan had already confirmed that this seemingly useless Storm Bottle was hiding a secret that she hadn't been able to discover in the first place.
If they could mass-produce this kind of bottle that could accurately predict the weather, it would be of great significance to the ordinary ships in the fleet and even the shipping industry!
However, when he placed the ritual candles on the table, dripped the laurel essential oil into them, and fully activated the Spiritual Detection.
However, the result was a mixed blessing.
The man-made Storm Bottle did have the same effect as the secret treasure Storm Bottle, and it could work independently in different areas.
This magical power was most likely from the Storm Bottle's contamination of "similar objects."
If it was placed next to a bottle of clear water or a solid crystal ball that had no changes to speak of, this invisibility ability would not work.
Secondly, the effect of these "man-made Storm Bottles" could only last for half a year. After half a year, they had to be placed together with the secret treasure of the sea to "recharge" for another half a month before they could be used again.
Most importantly, there was an upper limit to the power of the secret treasure of the sea. This kind of contamination ability could only last for about fifteen bottles at a time.
"This is already not bad. Although there's no way to promote it on a large scale, with the scale of our dragon cavalry, it's completely enough for a short period of time.
I'll hurry up and make a few more, so that at least the privateers within the dragon cavalry can use them. "
Elvin didn't feel that it was a pity. Even if he could only make fifteen "man-made Storm Bottles," it would make the value of the originally somewhat useless Storm Bottles soar.
Only a true sailor would know how important an accurate weather forecast was to a seafaring career.
It was especially important when faced with sudden and extremely strong convective weather, such as heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, gales, hail, tornadoes, and so on.
Being able to predict twelve hours in advance almost meant that the lives of all the people on the ship had been saved.
"By the way, it seems that the agreed time has arrived."
At this moment, Milan took out her pocket watch and glanced at it before reminding Elvin.
Hearing this, Elvin waved his hand and put away the three bottles on the table before snapping his fingers.
Pa!
The spiritual barrier that covered the "Cursed Oil Painting" on the wall of the captain's cabin had quietly dissipated.
At this moment, the scene in the oil painting also changed simultaneously.
The originally sinking flute-shaped ship gradually turned into a curly-haired, middle-aged rich merchant with rings all over his hands. Although he was dressed in classic clothes, it was obvious that he was expensive.
Looking at Elvin and Milan sitting in the captain's cabin, the rich merchant didn't show the joy of being able to take a breather like the other personalities. Instead, he seemed rather impatient.
"I heard from that busybody Katarov that you have something you need my help with?
Everyone's time is precious. Show me the benefits first.
I've only counted the treasures in the treasury twice today. I still have to count them three more times before I can sleep! "
At this moment, the "Cursed Oil Painting" was a "Demonic Spirit in the Painting" with Wizard Simpson as the main personality and countless victims as secondary personalities.
Crazy strange old man, erudite noble artist, rich merchant who valued wealth as his life, clumsy thief … After so many days of observation, the total number of personalities recorded by Elvin might be around thirty-three.
After a long conversation with Katarov.
Elvin had learned that among the many personalities, the rich merchant Clifford, who valued wealth as his life, had also obtained control of Simpson's Shadow Treasury with his strong obsession with wealth.
And he was obviously the "fool" that Elvin needed to get his hands on the wizard's treasury!
Now that he heard what Clifford said the moment he appeared, Elvin knew that he had found the right person. He didn't even need to say much to him.
He opened his palm to reveal the three shiny golden lions in his palm. The rich merchant Ke Lifu's eyes were already shining as he threw them towards the oil painting.
"Ah, gold coins! They're all mine! "
He didn't care about Elvin's inexplicable actions at all. At this moment, his eyes were only focused on the three gold coins that were rolling in the air.
In the painting, a stubby finger with a ring stretched out and swiped in the air. In an instant, a black hole opened up on the surface of the oil painting.
It happened to swallow all three golden lions that were flying in line and then immediately closed and disappeared.
Clifford rubbed his hands and was overjoyed.
God knows how long it had been since new treasures entered his treasury while he stayed underwater and couldn't move.
"Ha! You gave these to me yourselves. I didn't agree to any of your requests. Goodbye, idiots! "
After laughing at the two of them, Clifford directly disappeared and the scene gradually changed back to the original scene of the sunken ship.
Clifford, who was in a hurry to admire his new wealth, didn't notice that when he opened the treasury to collect the three gold coins, a slender black shadow had already entered the treasury.
He didn't even know that what Elvin wanted him to do was to open the door of the treasury so that Kaka could enter …
"Although he said he was looking for a fool, this … this guy is too stupid, isn't he? He succeeded so easily? "
Milan was stunned when she saw Clifford's performance.
Elvin shrugged. He didn't know why such a greedy guy who "risked his life for small profits" hadn't been beaten to death by the other personalities.
Maybe he didn't need three gold coins. He could have achieved the same effect with one copper Folt …
(Clifford: "That's so insulting. At least … two!")
"Let's wait for a while. Kaka should be …"
Before Elvin could finish his sentence, a black shadow emerged from the oil painting and turned into a large black lizard.
"Kaka … Kaka …"
It shook its head and wagged its tail happily as it asked for Elvin's credit.
Obviously, it was a success!
Elvin's action was the same as Clifford's. He rubbed his hands together and couldn't wait to see what precious collection the ancient sorcerer of the Shadow School, Simpson, had.
He put his hand on Kaka and with its cooperation, he spread his mental strength into its shadow treasury.
"Wow, he's really rich!"
The large number of casting materials suitable for the Shadow School and Dark Witchcraft was secondary. Although they were priceless now, Elvin, who was rich, didn't care too much about them.
However, when he saw a crystal bottle surrounded by a pile of treasures, his heart raced.
He couldn't help but take it out of Kaka's Shadow Secret Storehouse.
After seeing it, Kaka, who was lying on the ground, was a little agitated. It wanted to get close to it but was also a little afraid.
"This is …"
The bottle was two-thirds filled with a dark red viscous liquid.
However, in the eyes of Elvin and Milan, it was like a shadow that had liquefied into a solid substance. Even after three hundred years, it still shone with a dazzling supernatural light in their spiritual vision.
Obviously, it was still very active!
They looked at each other and said in disbelief at the same time.
"The blood of the Shadow Dragon!"
