Leaving the reception hall, Sinbad was waiting for him in the castle courtyard. .
"How is it, is the Warchief interested in your diving attire?" Sandman asked enthusiastically. After a week of getting along, the two got to know each other a lot, and they became half friends. "What's the reward for discovering the ruins? The title of explorer?"
Rex shook his head in disappointment, "He's not going to buy diving gear..."
"That's it," Sinbad reacted quickly, "but it's normal that the Kingdom of Greycastle doesn't need it. When the news spreads, the Fjord Chamber of Commerce will definitely notice your invention. The sea is a treasure basin, this is the You said it yourself, didn't you?"
He did say such words, and Rex thought to himself that since the King of Greycastle decided to summon them, he obviously attached great importance to this matter, then according to the terms of recruitment, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely. Whether it's the reward itself, or the title of Explorer, he can attract a lot of attention and talk, so that the reputation of diving attire can be heard in the Fiordland Islands.
But…
He smiled wryly, "Your Majesty's reward is a book."
Sinbad was stunned, "What did you say?" Sand Min lowered his head slightly, his eyes moved to the object in the other's hand, "Is it possible..."
"That's it." Rex nodded helplessly. The book is not thick, probably dozens of pages, and there is not a word on the cover, not to mention the beautiful borders and prints. Even if it was given by ordinary nobles, it still looks rather shabby, it really doesn't look like a reward that can be obtained.
Such a reward is unlikely to bring fame, and if you say it, it may attract ridicule.
"The Great Chief shouldn't be like this..." Simbadi stomped his feet. "Even I have been rewarded with twenty golden dragons. As the initiator of the salvage plan, you should have received more than me!"
The frankness of the fjords made Rex feel a little warm, but he knew in his heart that it was absolutely not worth using this kind of thing to question a powerful ruler because the other party had already offered him the conditions to fulfill his wishes. It's just that he's still hesitating.
At this time, a personal guard came over, "Your Majesty has prepared a residence for you, please come with me."
"Thank you." He hurriedly bowed, and then motioned Simbady to keep up with him. No matter what, he should go back and read the contents of the book first.
Not long after walking out of the castle area, Rex suddenly heard a strange humming sound.
It was like a series of dull thunders coming from the horizon, but it was even more crisp.
He whimpered softly and looked into the distance following the sound.
I saw a faintly visible black spot in the blue sky.
bird? He just came up with this idea, and quickly denied his guess. This distance is only a few miles away. What kind of bird can fly so loudly
Sandman obviously noticed this vision too, and his whole body tensed up, like a soldier on alert.
"That thing... is coming for us!"
"An enemy?" Rex asked in surprise, "In the Royal Capital of Greycastle?"
"I don't know... but it's definitely not a bird or something!"
"Take it easy," said the guard who led the way with a calm expression, "It's just a toy that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess loves. Although you may find it unbelievable when you first see it, you will get used to it if you stay here for a few more days. ."
"Princess's... toys?" The two of them found that they couldn't understand the meaning of each other's words at all.
"His Majesty also persuaded His Highness Tilly not to leave the test flight field as much as possible, but she thought that the field was too small to perform to the fullest. Apart from the residential area, the factory area and the whirlpool overseas, there was only the castle area left." The guard said, "But I always feel that she came to show off her skills to His Majesty on purpose."
Still can't understand.
However, even if he couldn't understand it, Rex caught a hint of pride in the other's expression.
In less than a few breaths of time, the black spot that was just far away in the sky was already in sight. In the roar that was like a roar, the people of the fjords saw the most incredible scene in their life.
The metal creation with two pairs of long wings swept over his head like a gust of wind, and its shadow was dozens of times larger than the largest seabird. Just looking at its shape made people feel extremely heavy, but it was precisely this one. The incomparably heavy iron beast is soaring in the sky at this moment. At the same time, he also saw the figure of a woman on the iron beast. Although it was not real, it was indeed carrying a person flying.
Fan…
The name suddenly popped into Rex's mind.
The Strange Objects Association is not a well-organized association, and he doesn't have much contact with the other party. He only watched it before the day when Feiyi was publicly verified. To be honest, he even hated Fan a little bit, because his unrealistic delusions made strange things with a low reputation even worse.
But now someone has accomplished this feat in a more exaggerated form.
Looking at the two-winged iron beast circling around the castle, a huge wave was set off in his heart.
…
The personal guard took the two into a hotel called the Diplomatic Building, left a sentence, "My name is Sean, if you think about it, you can come to the castle area and let me know the answer at any time" and then turned and left.
Sinbad was still immersed in great shock. He talked about the blessing of the three gods for a while, and then ran to the window to look out, not knowing whether he was afraid or wanted to see the incredible creature again.
Rex locked himself in the bedroom.
He stared at the featureless book in his hand, as if he wanted to see His Majesty's thoughts through it. After a full quarter of an hour, he opened the cover.
In this quarter of an hour, he made various assumptions, ranging from ordinary biographies and eulogies to the introduction of the customs of Neverwinter, or a lucrative contract disguised as a book, or even forcing the members of the Fantastic Item Society to move to Neverwinter. Threat Notice
But nothing.
On the first page there is only one sentence, the law of buoyancy.
An object immersed in a stationary fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, directed vertically upward and through the centroid of the displaced fluid.
At first glance, it seems very mouth-watering, but after reciting it several times in his heart, Rex gradually widened his eyes.
He quickly turned to the second page, which turned out to be a full-page arithmetic formula. Probably taking into account his comprehension ability, each formula is accompanied by detailed annotations, and the more he reads, the more difficult it is for him to look away.
Volume, density, buoyancy... These concepts are not unfamiliar and familiar, but at this moment, he is like seeing them for the first time.
Each word is no longer an abstract expression, but a number with a unit attached; whether an object is sinking or floating, and how much it sinks, you can know by picking up the pen and calculating.
In an instant, Rex thought of the big steel ship and the hydrogen balloon sold to the fjord, which seemed to become real and clear in his memory.
After that, it is a submersible that can rise and fall independently. Although it is only a conceptual diagram, it is undoubtedly feasible with the previous formula.
In the last few pages of the book, he even saw a peculiar large-scale ship, which could not only travel on the water surface like an ordinary sea ship, but also shuttle underwater like a fish. Its huge body is enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and even the most deadly wind and waves are not a threat to it underwater.
Rex was completely taken aback by this idea.
At the same time, there was also a sense of dullness in my heart.
It was as if he had finally taken a small step on an unknown road, and while he was rejoicing, others had already pointed out the whole path.
Thinking of the iron beast whizzing past, there seems to be more than one path like this in Neverwinter.
He already understood the meaning of the word "reward".
If he rejects the conditions of the King of Greycastle, then with the content in this book, he can definitely reach a new level in his diving and salvage career. It's just that the second stage is already the limit that an individual can achieve. As for the diving boat of the third stage, he basically misses him in this life.
If you agree to the invitation of His Majesty Roland, this book will become the most powerful means of persuading others, and the Strange Item Society will also be reborn.
