Chapter 364 Right of Preference
In the captain's room, Danitz and the others looked at Xifa one after another, not knowing why he wanted to look at the portrait of 'Warren Singais'.
Edwina's expression remained unchanged, she nodded slightly: "Yes."
She stood up, walked to a cabinet, and took out a picture scroll from it. She called Danitz to help, and the two opened the scroll, which contained a bust.
The man in the painting has the outline of an obvious Southern Continental race, with some mysterious symbols tattooed on his face, golden spikes pierced through his ears, and the left side of his lower lip is cracked, as if he was injured by a sharp object.
He is decorated with feathers, gold bracelets, and his eyes are firm. It seems that no difficulty can defeat him.
Sifa's breathing was slightly heavy.
really!
When he heard the 'compass' just now, Xifa had a feeling that the adventurer he was looking for in the iceberg was the 'compass' he was looking for. It is likely to be the mummy he found in the tomb on the unnamed desert island, as well as the funerary objects found in the coffin.
At that time, Xifa also saw the spirit body of the mummy, which looked exactly like the man in the portrait. Except that after turning into a spirit body, Varun's originally dark face became pale, his eyes became hollow, and the area around his eyes became dark.
In this way, the 'compass' that Edwina was looking for is in my hands, in the treasure chest of the spirit world. Xifa adjusted his mood, looked at Lieutenant General Bingshan and smiled: "Captain, there is no need to look for it, that The 'compass' is here."
Immediately, Jodsen and other 'high-level officials' stood up and looked at Xifa in disbelief.
Surprise flashed in Edwina's eyes, but she didn't lose her composure. After a while, she put away the scroll and said, "Really?"
"I've seen the person in the painting. To be precise, it's his spirit body." So Xifa told about what happened to the tomb in the mountain. Of course, he didn't mention anything about the "Breaker" at all.
After hearing this, Edwina asked calmly, "Who else knows about this?"
After all, this matter is related to the 'Death God's Treasure', so naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
And if anyone knows, she knows one day earlier, so she can make preparations one day earlier.
Be prepared for competitors to emerge.
Xifa shook his head frankly: "No, I am the only one who knows about this. However, that compass keeps spinning, maybe it is broken."
Edwina's eyes suddenly lit up: "It seems that you have indeed found it, you have found Varun's compass. The compass will only react when it is in the correct place, otherwise, it will keep spinning .”
"Can it still be like this?" Xifa was very surprised, the thing didn't look like a magical item, it seemed that it had been transformed by Varun.
"Can you give me that compass." As the most powerful Extraordinary on board, Edwina hoped to protect this thing personally.
"Of course." Xifa shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, I have one condition."
Lieutenant General Bingshan nodded imperceptibly: "You say."
"After discovering the treasure, I hope to get the 'priority right'." Xifa said what he just thought of.
Before boarding the ship, Vice Admiral Bingshan said that if they found treasure, they would share the proceeds according to their contributions and positions on the ship. Xifa believes that his contribution to handing over the compass is definitely not small.
Lieutenant General Bingshan will not play tricks on this matter. At that time, if he can really find the treasure, he will gain a lot.
The problem is that he can't choose what he gets when the time comes.
That's why he wants a 'priority option', he hopes to get something that enhances his strength, not just treasure.
After thinking about it for a moment, Edwina agreed, "Yes, but you have to choose carefully."
"It's best not to pick something you can't afford."
It's a crime to be pregnant, I know. If I insist on taking things that are too expensive and that I have no ability to protect, it will only bring disaster to me in the end. Xifa nodded: "I have a measure."
"Please allow me to resign temporarily, I put the things in the room."
Danitz whispered: "You just left such an important thing in the room?"
Xifa looked at him: "Before that, I didn't know how important it was. If it wasn't for its golden shell, exquisite decorative pattern, and relatively rare exotic style, I would have sold it instead. Not to keep around as souvenirs."
"Shit." After finishing speaking, Danitz quickly covered his mouth, and glanced at Vice Admiral Bingshan. Seeing that she didn't respond, the boatswain heaved a sigh of relief.
Xifa returned to the room, took out candles, set up a simple altar, and summoned the spiritual treasure chest.
Taking out Varun's compass from the puppy-like treasure chest, looking at the golden case with a compass with a feathered snake pattern on the lid, Xifa smiled, never expecting that the previous unintentional gain could be put to great use now.
He returned to the captain's cabin with the compass and handed it to Edwina.
Lieutenant General Bingshan carefully put away the compass, and when Xifa returned to her seat, she said, "Now that we have the compass, the only difference between us and 'Death's Treasure' is the next part of the riddle."
Xifa raised his hand and asked, "What riddle, Captain."
"The riddle left by Varun, as I said just now, before that, we found the code he left behind."
"The kind of password he created is to find the corresponding text in the designated book according to the number displayed in the password, so as to obtain the secret information left by Varun."
Edwina continued to cut her fried fish: "The book that Varen specified is "Journey to the Great Sea" that he had written. We found this book in Intis's museum, but only half."
"In this book, we got a riddle, in which we got two important pieces of information, the 'compass' and 'the waters near Sonia Island'."
"But this riddle is complete. We must get the second half of "Journey to the Great Sea" to obtain the complete riddle and the final information."
Xifa frowned and said, "If it's a book, more than one book should have been published, right?"
Jodsen picked up his glass and sipped, ""Journey to the Great Sea" is a manuscript, and Warren originally planned to use 'Death's Treasure' as the last story of the book. Although he discovered the treasure, he never excavated it. Recorded the relevant information and hid the secret in his manuscript."
Edwina put a piece of fried fish into her mouth. After chewing and swallowing, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "We already have clues to the second half of "Journey to the Great Sea."
"but."
