The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 32 Is this a coincidence?

After that, the first thing Mu clicked on was a golden treasure punctuation mark.

Following the system's guidance, after two days of sailing, they came to an unfamiliar sea area.

This time, the elves found out soon after they went into the water—because there was a sunken ship at the marked point.

"The shipwreck is also related to the cold current?"

Uncle Jim, the navigator, looked at Mu with a smile that was not a smile.

As a person who has studied, he is naturally not so easy to fool, but judging from his expression, there is no intention of asking a teacher for a crime.

Anyway, he helped to hide it in the logbook, so naturally he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

Mu just pretended to be stupid and didn't answer.

Then everyone's elves worked together to fish up the remaining cargo on the sunken ship.

Most of them are special products of the New World. It seems that this is a cargo ship going to the New World for business. Before that, it sank here for some reason.

Not all the cargo boxes that were picked up were useful. Most of the spices, tea leaves, and tree fruits were soaked in water for too long, and they were all rotten. Only a few boxes of stones that looked like ores were still well preserved, but these stones were still not treasures identified on the Mu system panel.

Until the later stage of salvage, an elf brought a small box from the water, which looked like a personal belonging of a crew member on the ship.

When the box was presented, the distance figure in Mu's field of vision finally shrunk to the extreme.

It means that the treasure that is really marked by the system is in this small box.

Opening the box, inside was a roll of soaked whitish silk cloth wrapped with a golden bead.

"what is this?"

Everyone looked at Jim again as usual.

"It seems a bit like... electric beads?"

Jim replied uncertainly.

"Oh~~~~"

Everyone excitedly dragged out a long tone.

Electric beads are legendary treasures formed by absorbing the power of lightning. Long-term contact with electric elves can absorb the electric energy in them to steadily increase their strength. They can be carried with electric elves during the breeding period. There is also a chance that newborn cubs can directly comprehend powerful skills such as volt attack and thunder.

It is a very valuable baby!
This time it was another trip full of rewards.

It's just that it's inconvenient to share the spoils of the treasures caught this time, and it's not sure whether the bead is an electric bead or not. It needs to be taken back for identification, so the harvest from this trip is temporarily piled up in the captain's cabin.

Mu has no objection to this. After more than ten days of contact, he has fully integrated into the atmosphere of this ship. I believe that when the day comes, Siegfried will definitely not lose his share.

After picking up the things, before Mu could bring it up, a group of people surrounded him enthusiastically and urged him to continue quickly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let you go to the sea with your almighty dragon to look for it, and we'll go get him another vote!"

Immediately afterwards, Siegfried greeted the first mate Hermo.

"Er Mozi, bring me your fucking big bird, labor and management are going to write a letter to postpone the return flight!"

Dabibird, the final evolutionary form of Bobo and Bibibird in more places, is a large raptor-like elf with plenty of physical strength, capable of supporting ultra-long-distance flight, and can catch food by itself at sea, with excellent battery life.

The two consecutive treasure hunts were a hit and the harvest was full. I feel that Siegfried is better than Mu at the moment, and he started planning to postpone the return flight before he broke the anchor.

Mu Gang wanted to persuade Brother Fei to forget it, but when he turned his head the next second, he saw that the first mate, Hermo, had already recruited Bi Diao with a smile, and started to tie a letter post around its neck.

"..."

What else can he say...

Just keep looking for the next marker.

After two treasure hunts, Mu made a conclusion. He felt that the punctuation color on the panel should not be a symbol of the treasure's level, but more likely to be related to the attribute.

If the color represents the classification of the category, then this level is too detailed, and there are a bunch of different colors in white, blue, red, purple, blue, green, and black on the map of my system.

The guess of the opposite attribute may be more realistic - the first time I chose cyan punctuation, I picked up an ice-type crystal pearl, and the second time I chose golden yellow, I picked up an electric-type electric bead.

From this point of view, white is mostly normal, green grass, light blue flying, dark blue water...

Now one of the punctuation marks that are closer to him is black, and the analogy probably represents evil treasures, which are not very attractive.

The other is bright red, with a high probability of fire. Mu is very curious about how there are fire treasures in the sea, and thinking about it, it may be related to submarine volcanoes. It feels very dangerous...

Also passed.

In the end, there is a relatively light red punctuation point, which may be super power or fairy type. Considering that some skills of these two attributes can also be learned by riding a dragon, and there is another girl with ice + super power on the boat, so Mu finally clicked on this punctuation point.

As usual, he made up a plausible reason and fooled the helmsman to go on the road.

The reason is still the same as always, but, who cares?
The first mate, Bi Diao, all set off with a letter. Does the reason matter?

It's just that there was a little accident in the middle of this time.

On the third day of the voyage, Mu suddenly found that punctuation mark on the map——it moved!

When Mu opened the treasure hunting module at the beginning, he actually noticed that some punctuation marks could move, and he didn’t know if it was because the markings were living creatures or because the treasure was being led away by other creatures.

Originally, he was deliberately avoiding these running punctuation marks, but this time he didn't expect that the punctuation marks that didn't move at first suddenly moved in the middle.

What's the point of this?

Mu felt a little embarrassing for a while, but he couldn't tell others about it, so he could only pretend that nothing happened and continue to direct the helmsman to drive in that direction.

At least go see the situation, he thought.

If they were only moved by wild elves, they still had hope.

Fortunately, the speed of movement after punctuation is not fast, and the direction of movement and the direction of their return occasionally overlap.

So sailed for two more days.

The distance numbers in Mu's field of vision are getting closer and closer.

The truth is about to be revealed!

However, at this moment, on the watchtower above the mast, Cornings suddenly gave a loud warning——

"There is a ship on the starboard side ahead!! Can't tell the camp!!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound.

Soon Siegfried walked out of the captain's cabin and came to the deck, unfolding a telescope to look into the distance.

Not long after, he personally found the ship of unknown origin on the sea surface—with black sails, and a few elves flying in the sky at all times. On both sides of the hull, there were many muzzles clearly protruding from the hull, and there was no emblem on the hull to indicate the camp.

Such an excessive firepower configuration does not look like a serious merchant ship at first glance.

And on the sea, if it is not a merchant ship, and it is impossible to distinguish the camp, it is either a smuggling ship or a pirate!
Encountering pirates can be regarded as one of the repertoires of going to sea in this era. In the era of sailing warships, no country has the ability to spread order across the entire ocean. The vast sea can always find space for pirates to survive.

At this moment Siegfried's expression suddenly became serious.

"Let the flying elves fly into the air to signal and ask the other party to identify themselves!"

Both smuggling ships and pirates belong to the targets of the Navy's attack. This is an opposing position and cannot be reconciled.

It's just that at this moment, Mu standing behind Siegfried has a slightly subtle expression——

Because the ship in the distance happened to be on the extension line of the treasure hunting arrow in his field of vision, and the calculated distance was just right.

In other words, most of the treasures marked by the system are on the distant ship!
Isn't this a coincidence?
