Casting spells

From the quantity and quality of the items salvaged today, she can almost be sure that nearly one-third of these items are property looted from the Incas by the Spanish colonists in the early days, and many original gold and silver crafts have not had time to melt. It was directly shipped to the Iberian Peninsula in this way.

"Okay! It seems that finding something in the vast sea is not as easy as I imagined. X, continue to use those marine creatures to monitor the situation in the surrounding sea area, and notify me immediately if there are new discoveries." Zhang Cheng gave the artificial intelligence an order rather helplessly. Order.

Now he finally realized what a terrible pain it was not being able to use divination spells.

If you switch to a mage specializing in prophecy, you only need a few preconditions to easily locate an item and find it directly.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. From the moment he opposed the prophecy magic, Zhang Cheng was doomed to never use any prophecy magic in his life. The only thing he can do now is to use the powerful search ability produced by the combination of technology and magic. Little by little to find the flame queen sunk in the depths of the ocean...

Chapter 700 The Legend of the City of Gold

Knowing that the sunken ship being salvaged was not the Flame Queen he was expecting, Zhang Cheng completely lost interest in it and let Yelena deal with those messy things.

Especially the heavy naval guns pulled up by the boom, each one is extremely heavy, and they are not worth much, and I don't know why Mansha is interested in these crap.

Most importantly, according to a statement on the ownership of shipwreck cultural relics in international waters signed by William Jefferson Clinton, the No.40 second president of the United States in [-], the U.S. government recognizes the national ownership of all other countries, including the U.S. No matter when and where the ship sank, no matter how long it has passed, its ownership still belongs to the original country.

This also means that if all the salvaged items are confirmed to be Spanish treasure ships, even if they are brought back to the United States, they will eventually be awarded to the Spanish government by the court.

However, law is one aspect and international politics is another aspect.

As long as it is killed by one bite, these things are not the goods on the treasure ship.However, the Spanish side could not provide corresponding evidence, and the final result can only be attributed to the discoverer.

After all, Spain is no longer the European power that dominated the sea in the [-]th century, but a third-rate country with little military presence and a poor economy that is known as one of the "Five Stupid Pigs".

Of course, Zhang Cheng himself didn't care much about these useless precious metals. What really caught his attention was the Flame Queen, which also sank nearby.

Only on this ship did it hit the golden mural with mysterious power.

While he was hiding in the captain’s cabin alone, staring at the huge three undersea projections in front of him, far away in a high-end restaurant in Paris, France, Faust was continuing to pretend to be a member of the European Supreme Council under the false identity of John. Sitting in front of one of the tables, enjoying the delicious meal carefully prepared by the chef, he said without looking up: "Where is our little ally who can always bring surprises?"

"He's already gone to sea to search for the sunken ship named Flame Queen. Why, what do you need from him?" Lavern asked with a half-smile while sipping expensive high-end red wine.

"No, it's nothing, I just want to ask him some knowledge and skills about raising black dragons. You must know that my two little guys have grown to nearly one meter now, and their personalities are becoming more and more fierce and irritable. Besides the master, other servants may be attacked if they get a little closer." Faust explained rather annoyed.

Because in the past month, six of his subordinates have been killed by dragons, so he had to feed them himself, wasting a lot of time and energy.

"Hahahaha! It sounds like good news. At least in terms of combat awareness and talent, they are all worthy of being the top magical creatures in the age of mythology, aren't they?" Laverne laughed and joked.

Faust shrugged helplessly and sighed: "Indeed! I can't believe it. In just a few months, they are smart enough to use the environment to create traps to catch their prey. If they live for hundreds of years , I am afraid that few people will be their opponents."

"Hundreds of years? I guarantee that, except for a very few, it won't take long for these young dragons to die from various accidents. Do you know? Those guys from the Wizarding Association are trying to contact all the people who bought dragon eggs in the past, and want to establish Form an alliance and control all the young dragons in your own hands. As far as I know, there is a guy who sternly refuses. The young dragon he raised suddenly died inexplicably half a month ago. I believe he will find him soon You." Laverne warned meaningfully.

"Hehe! Dear old friend, I guarantee that anyone who dares to slam my dragon will die a terrible death. The Wizarding Association has existed for too long, maybe it is time to let it be history."

While saying these words, Faust's eyes shone with a cold and biting chill.

Perhaps for others, destroying the Wizarding Association is just an impossible lie.

But for him, who slaughtered the entire Vatican's angelic legion alone, and completely bankrupted the plan of heaven on earth that had been brewing in heaven for a year ago, it is entirely possible to make it a reality.

You must know that although those top wizards are powerful, they belong to a very small number of people, and there is no way to protect everyone in the association.

As long as Faust lowers his posture and frantically hunts down the members of the Wizarding Association, then this ancient organization that cannot even protect his own people will soon split and perish.

Lavern is undoubtedly very aware of this, and comforted with a smile on his face: "Relax, the matter has not developed to that point yet. Regarding the Wizards Association, I think we should be a little more cautious, maybe they still have some powerful powers. artifact."

"Artifact?" Faust curled his lips in disdain. "Huh! It's not that I haven't seen it before! Forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things, tell me how long it will take for our little allies to find the key to open the city of gold? According to the lunar calendar of the Incas, the agreed date will come soon." It's almost here, and if you don't open it in time, you'll have to wait another 1000 years."

"Patience! You have to believe that he can bring us surprises and miracles. Don't forget, that piece of gold mural is not an ordinary thing. Any non-Inca who comes into contact with it will hear an inexplicable voice, tight Then in just a few days, a large amount of clear water will be sprayed from the mouth and nostrils to drown alive, even vampires who do not need to breathe can not escape."

"Bachuai, the ancestor goddess in the myths and legends of the Musca people, was originally a god who came out of Lake Guadavida. It is not worth making a fuss about having some special abilities on water. What really interests me is that the legend Is the city of gold in the book used to worship the sun god that all American Indians believe in, or is it the exclusive domain of the goddess of the lake." After finishing speaking, Faust put down the knife and fork, and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"I personally think it should be the goddess of the lake! The sun god is the common belief of almost all American Indians. If it really exists, it should be a very powerful god. In theory, it is impossible to sit back and watch its followers be massacred by the invaders. Even if he doesn't need faith at all to maintain his own strength. Most importantly, the entrance to the City of Gold is in the depths of Lake Guadavida, which is not at all something a sun god would do." Lavern didn't panic Not busy giving his own analysis.

As a descendant of God, he has a lot of knowledge about God in his mind from the moment he awakened, so he still has a lot of say in this regard.

"In this case, I will wait and see, and hope that our little ally will not disappoint too much. After all, this is related to the transformation from mortal to immortal. Especially for you, divinity means power, means The almost never-aging body and soul mean the support to attack the throne of the gods..."

"We will succeed! No matter who the owner of the City of Gold is! It's impossible for the three of us to be opponents!"

Chapter 7 and One Storm Warning

As we all know, the Atlantic Ocean is not like its neighbor the Pacific Ocean. Whenever June enters, it is very easy to form terrible extreme weather conditions, such as tropical storms and hurricanes.

Including the east coast of the Americas, the Caribbean islands, and the west coast of Europe, there will be more than seven or eight tropical storms and hurricanes.

This is why far more ships have sunk in the Atlantic Ocean than in any other waters of the world.

While Zhang Cheng was constantly searching for and salvaging sunken ships in the surrounding area, he suddenly heard an early warning notice issued by the Meteorological Center. It was said that a strong airflow had formed in the Atlantic Basin, and it might develop into a deadly tropical storm at any time.

"BOSS! We must return!" Yelena walked into the captain's room immediately, reminding her with a serious expression.

After all, no matter how strong a modern ship is and how strong it is against wind and waves, it is weak and weak in the face of nature.

Even those sea giants with a displacement of [-] tons can easily be overturned by huge waves one after another. Therefore, when most ships receive a storm warning, they will choose to return to the nearest port immediately. No one would take their own life as a joke.

"Okay! Let's go to San Juan to avoid the limelight." Zhang Cheng nodded reluctantly.

Although in recent days, the fleet has salvaged four more sunken ships from this sea area, but none of them is the legendary Flame Queen.One of them is a frigate traveling with the Flame Queen, one looks like a pirate ship that has been refitted for gang-jumping, and the other two are standard Dutch armed merchant ships, which makes the treasure in the cargo warehouse at the bottom of the yacht a lot more. few.

In particular, on the armed frigate, several Spanish noble swords decorated with precious gemstones and carved patterns were found. There are even noble badges on the swords, which are quite valuable for archaeology and collection.

"Understood! I will immediately notify the captain of the salvage ship to adjust the course."

Seeing that Zhang Cheng did not insist on staying, Yelena was obviously relieved, and turned around and walked out.

Not far away, Mansha, who was lying on the table carefully cleaning an original pistol, suddenly asked without thinking: "Why San Juan?"

"Is there any need to ask? Of course, it is because Puerto Rico is relatively close and belongs to the autonomous state of the United States. It is the best choice in terms of distance and security environment. In addition, San Juan is a relatively developed seaport in the Caribbean region. In the city, at least the hotel will be very comfortable to live in. Don’t tell me that you like to live in those dangerous places where you need to open one eye even to sleep.” Zhang Cheng gave the answer as a matter of course.

There is a famous saying throughout Central America, South America, and the Caribbean that is too far from heaven and too close to America.

Since the rise of the Monroe Doctrine, the United States has regarded the Americas as its absolute sphere of influence, infiltrating and controlling the economy, military, and culture of independent countries from all aspects, and does not allow anyone to intervene.

On this point, the Cuban Missile Crisis is the best proof.

Due to the endless greed of large American companies and conglomerates, except for Canada, a traditional ally in the north, no country in the Americas can escape the status quo of poverty and chaos.

Because only poverty and chaos, the decadent ruling classes of these countries need the intervention of powerful external forces, and only need a stable and powerful country to support themselves at critical moments.

Of course, the price is that the economy and law and order are extremely poor. Drug lords and gangsters in many places are even more arrogant than the police and the army. Murder is a classic repertoire every day.

"Shet! I admit that what you said makes sense! It seems that San Juan is our ideal safe haven." Mansha said helplessly.

Through the news media, she has a general understanding of the security situation in Central and South American countries, and understands how dangerous these countries are.

Take Mexico, its southern neighbor, as an example. It is a place like a nightmare. On average, more than 10 unlucky people are kidnapped every year, and more than 200 people are kidnapped every day.
