Chapter 073 Pocket Watch

Lilith turned her head away, unable to bear to look any longer.

Gawain looked at it carefully for a few times and confirmed his guess. This must be the pollution caused by the mysterious catastrophe. This kind of pollution should not appear on ordinary people. Since it appeared, it means that the other party has been exposed to the mysterious and extraordinary, so he asked:

"When did the abscess appear?"

James quickly put on his cloak and lowered his head:

"Three or four months."

"Have you encountered any strange creatures?"

"Never."

"Have you eaten any uncomfortable food?"

"No."

"Have you touched anything special?"

"No..."

As soon as James opened his mouth, he was suddenly stunned.

Gawain nodded and said, "You are very smart. I think you have realized something. Can you let me see it? Don't worry, I will respect your opinion and will not force you."

James stretched out his right hand tremblingly, took out a golden pocket watch from his underwear, and said in disbelief:

"You mean, it's all... all because of it?"

Gawain looked at the pocket watch for a few times and found that it was more exquisite than many pocket watches he had seen in his previous life. Although he had not touched it personally, he knew that such a sophisticated object was definitely not something that ordinary people could make now, so he nodded and said:

"It should be right."

James stared at the pocket watch in his hand with a complicated expression, his face changing.

He wanted to throw it away, but he couldn't bear to.

This was what he fished out from a shipwreck when he was a child. He knew it was of extraordinary value and had kept it close to his body for 12 years and had never let anyone see it.

He wanted to keep it, but he was afraid.

It had already made him half-human and half-ghost. If he kept it, he would be tortured to death by it. Thinking of this, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

Gawain said with a smile:

"I'll give you a choice, are you willing to listen?"

"You say!"

"You can give it to me, as compensation, I will provide you with all the food and drink on the ship."

"......"

James was silent for a moment, his reason told him that this was the best choice at the moment, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he raised his head:

"Master wizard, what...what is this?"

"A certain wizard's creation."

"Okay, it's yours."

James let out a long breath, respectfully placed the pocket watch on the table beside him, took a few pieces of white bread and honey peaches and ate and drank in the corner.

Then he hurried away with ten honey peaches.

Gawain picked up the pocket watch with the hand of a wizard, summoned a stream of clear water to wash off the stained pus.

Then he reached out to catch it.

The pocket watch was golden all over, small and exquisite, and there were hollow carvings.

You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.

He touched it lightly with his thumb, and the cover opened automatically with a "pop". The dial was showing a simplified date, and the hands were jumping.

"17th of Spring Dawn, 1001 in the wizard calendar."

After a simple interpretation, Gawain got the correct time and said to himself:

"It is indeed a wizard's creation."

He observed it carefully and found that there were two small functions on it, one was pointing and the other was timing. Pointing can prevent getting lost, and timing is indispensable in experiments.

It is very practical for wizards.

Gawain tried to input a trace of magic power, and did not feel any resistance. A piece of information reserved by the maker was instantly fed back to Gawain's mind.

This pocket watch is called [Holy Light Pocket Watch].

It is a high-level magic item.

Not only does it solidify a healing zero-ring magic called [Holy Light], but it also has three rune buff effects: [Cleaning], [Recovery], and [Storage of Magic].

Among them, [Cleaning] is the most common, and it will be activated every 12 hours.

Remove stains from the wearer.

[Recovery] is quite powerful. It can not only increase the speed of magic recovery, but also speed up the recovery of mental power. It can be said to be very rare.

And the effect of [Storage of Magic] surprised Gawain even more.

It can convert and store 31 units of ownerless magic in the pocket watch by itself, of which 1 unit is used to maintain its own operation, and the other 30 units can be used by the owner at any time, which is almost equivalent to the heaven-defying effect of instantly recovering 30 units of magic, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary magic potions.

When fighting, it is almost equivalent to temporarily increasing the upper limit of magic by 30 units, and sometimes it can even turn the tide.

The preciousness is self-evident.

Not to mention, it also has a [Holy Light] for treatment, and its real value far exceeds the red rock magic wand of the same level.

"It's like a pearl covered in dust when it falls into James's hands."

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Gawain played with the [Holy Light Pocket Watch] lovingly, and suddenly his eyes fell on Lilith. He wanted to try the [Holy Light Spell] solidified on it, so he waved:

"Step forward a few steps."

"Mr. Gawain."

Lilith walked forward, stood up pretty, and blinked curiously.

She was wearing a black tights, with long black and smooth hair, tight skin, slender figure, and especially a black mask with a spider pattern.

It was both pleasing to the eye and mysterious.

Gawain raised his hand, locked Lilith with the [Holy Light Pocket Watch], and used a trace of magic to directly activate the [Holy Light Spell]. A white light fell from the sky and fell on Lilith.

"Ah~~~"

Lilith subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her, and screamed half a sound as if frightened. Then her tone changed and she let out a long final sound. Her body trembled and she collapsed on the ground, unable to even hold the dagger.

"..."

The atmosphere freezes instantly and you can hear the needle drop.

Gawain opened his mouth with an embarrassed look on his face: "Well...I didn't expect...you...that..."

Lilith reacted and hurriedly covered her blushing cheeks with both hands, feeling as if she was shameless in front of others.

"Sorry, let me help you up."

"No, no!"

Lilith waved her hands in panic, lowered her head, and her voice was as weak as a mosquito:

"I...I want to change my clothes..."

"well!"

Gawain suddenly understood, walked out of the cabin quickly, and closed the cabin door thoughtfully, then rubbed his chin and murmured:

"This Lilith...is a bit interesting."

...

Five days later, Gawain was reading the "Pharmacopoeia" when Lilith, dressed in black, suddenly pushed open the door and walked in with a look of panic: "Mr. Gawain, we seem to be in trouble."

Gawain put down the hard cover book and asked:

"What's going on?"

"The ghost ship is still sailing, but its direction seems to have changed."

"Come out with me and take a look."

Gawain did not dare to be careless, and quickly walked out of the cabin with Lilith, and soon came to the deck, only to see that the surroundings were filled with gray fog, making it impossible to distinguish the direction.

Lilith pointed to the sail: "Before, the wind direction was always towards the stern of the ship, but now the sail has shifted a lot."

Gawain observed it for a moment, but didn't see any clues.

So I took out the [Holy Light Pocket Watch] from my pocket, opened the cover, and gently moved the smallest pointer. I saw the pointer spinning slowly and finally pointing in one direction.

He compared it several times and nodded: "It used to be sailing eastward, but now it has turned north. It has indeed changed its course."

"Then what do we do?"

"Don't panic, today is our seventh day at sea. According to the ghost ship's fastest trip back and forth in half a month, we are definitely not far from the east coast. However, it is still difficult to reach it with our own strength. There is no other way now. You can only wait and see what happens.”

Gawain explained a few words, stopped going back to the cabin, and just watched on the deck.

More than half an hour later, a black spot appeared in the thick fog.

Then it got bigger and bigger.

"Island?"

Gawain was a little confused. Lilith's face changed slightly and she said in surprise:

"That can't be Kisame Island, right?"
