Blind boxes are risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry. Obtaining the tortoise shell easily is both expected and unexpected. It is expected that the runes on the tortoise shell are too few to decipher much content. If they are cracked in time, they will definitely not get the desired secret. The representatives of the young and powerful forces did not speak. Personal wealth is limited, and the wealth of the consortium is terrible. 21,000 gold coins are a huge fortune for individuals, but for some consortiums, it is really a drop in the bucket. They didn't ask for a price, so it's definitely not that they don't have money. As for the reason, Dongfang Herring doesn't need to know anymore.
The tortoise shell is already his own, and other people can only watch the fun. The symbol on the tortoise shell is a triangle. If you look closely, it is not a triangle, but also a pyramid shape. There are some shallow lines on the sides. When connected, this is a three-dimensional pattern.
It was because of seeing this pyramid shape that Dongfang Herring made up his mind to get the tortoise shell.
Dongfang Herring himself is not good at deciphering things, but it doesn't matter, there are archaeological experts, and "Xuanwu City Group" has such a group of people.
Usually, you don't need to do other work, just study ancient books, maps, and inscriptions, and look for clues from these items to get treasures, wealth, or quests. Relying on these people, "Xuanwu City Group" has unearthed two S-level tasks, one A-level task, and more than a dozen B-level tasks.
This is a meticulous job, and the goods may not be received for several months, but once there is a clue, it can last for three years.
Dongfang Herring took the tortoise shell and the pyramid to this group of experts. He thought it would take a long time to get a clue, but he didn't expect the result to come out after only one night.
"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news." Wang Feiyan, the secretary, worked hard and went to get the results early in the morning.
"Let's tell the good news first," Dongfang Herring said.
"Don't most people listen to the bad news first?" Wang Feiyan said.
"That's an ordinary person." Dongfang Herring said.
"There happened to be an expert who studied the tortoise shell for a long time and saw such a pattern. It probably means that there is a pyramid under the sea. Inside the pyramid is hidden the secret of the creation of the world. The tortoise shell is the symbol of the top and the clue to guide into the pyramid. Or the route." Wang Feiyan said.
"Where is the pyramid? What does it represent?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"The pyramid is so mysterious that experts can't figure it out, but he guessed that it might be the key." Wang Feiyan said.
"What's the bad news?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"The symbol should be carved on many tortoise shells, and there is no way to find the route with only one tortoise shell." Wang Feiyan said.
"How many?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"5-11." Wang Feiyan said.
"Is this range too big?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"There is only one tortoise shell, and the amount of information is too little." Wang Feiyan said.
"If there are 5-11 tortoise shells, it will be troublesome to find them." Dongfang Herring said.
"What's more troublesome is the price. The price of the first tortoise shell is 21,000 gold coins, and the price of the later tortoise shells will only be more expensive." Wang Feiyan said.
"If you don't remind me, I'll forget about it. This is indeed a problem." Dongfang Herring nodded, and glanced at Wang Feiyan: "Since you mentioned this problem, you must have thought of a solution."
"I'm just your secretary, not your think tank." Wang Feiyan said.
"If the secretary can't solve the boss's problems, why should he come?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Division of labor!" Wang Feiyan said.
"Smart people do things outside of division of labor." Dongfang Herring said.
"I'm stupid." Wang Feiyan said.
"I'm kind-hearted, and I don't dislike you." Dongfang Herring said.
"If one day I become the boss, I will bully the secretary like this." Wang Feiyan said.
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to realize this injustice," Dongfang Herring said.
"Do you doubt me?" Wang Feiyan said angrily.
"No, no, no, I mean, it's hard for you to find such a stupid secretary for you to bully." Dongfang Herring said.
"We spread the word that the tortoise shell is useless, and the runes on it are a silly prank of the ancients." Wang Feiyan said.
"Does anyone believe it?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"I didn't believe it at first." Wang Feiyan said, "But you can muddy the water. After a long time, some people will believe it."
"Why?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"If the tortoise shell is a good thing, there must be good things happening around the tortoise shell. If not, it means that the tortoise shell is not a good thing. The longer the time passes, the greater the suspicion will be." Wang Feiyan said.
"It makes sense, but there is a problem. If a second tortoise shell appears in a short period of time, it will be troublesome." Dongfang Herring said.
Wang Feiyan's face froze, she didn't consider this.
"Just do it according to your method, first mix the water, and the rest will depend on the situation." Dongfang Herring said.
"Are you ready to go to sea?" Wang Feiyan asked.
"Didn't the Xiao Yi people say that the nearest islands appear frequently, maybe some kind of conspiracy is brewing again." Dongfang Herring said.
"I think Li Wenjian is looking for someone to suppress him. If you leave, no one can suppress him." Wang Feiyan said.
"Are you worried about his betrayal?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"The power is too great, how many people can maintain their original aspirations?" Wang Feiyan said.
"You're right, but if Li Wenjian thinks that I can be lawless if I don't stop, then he is not far from death. I have already said hello to "The General's Mansion", and my departure this time is also a kind of temptation. "Dongfang Herring said.
"As long as you are prepared." Wang Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that we can't be quiet today." Dongfang Herring sighed, and opened the flashing message, which was sent by Xiao Yiren.
"Pirates attack Hong Kong!"
There are only four words, but Xiao Yiren's anxious mood can be felt.
"After dealing with the sneak attacking pirates, I should go directly to sea. If you have anything to do, you can find me offline." When Dongfang Herring spoke, he was already striding towards the teleportation array.
"I see." Wang Feiyan trotted behind, she didn't need to send it.
"'Polar Bear' and 'Open Sesame' have been too quiet recently, you should pay attention to them a little bit, I reckon they are planning something big." Dongfang Herring said.
"Yes!" Wang Feiyan nodded.
"Also, there is a black sesame seed on your face." Dongfang Herring entered the teleportation array after speaking.
"Ah!" Wang Feiyan hurriedly wiped her cheek with her hand, and there was indeed a black sesame seed. He stomped his foot, angry and ashamed. The boss is too bad. People saw it.
Three seconds later, Dongfang Herring appeared in "East Seaport". In fact, using the magic teleportation scroll is the most direct, but in terms of cost performance, it is not worth it. A long-distance teleportation scroll costs dozens of gold coins, while the teleportation array only needs a dozen silver coins, a difference of hundreds of times.
Walking out of the teleportation array, deafening gunfire filled the entire "East Harbor", and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder...
