Chapter 1132 The Role of Rewards

After leaving the reception hall, Simbadi was waiting for him in the castle courtyard. .

"How about it, is the warchief interested in your diving outfit?" the sand people asked enthusiastically. After a week of getting along, the two of them have become quite familiar with each other and have become half-friends. "What is the reward for discovering the ruins? The title of explorer?"

Rex shook his head in disappointment, "He doesn't plan to buy diving attire..."

"That's... so," Simbadi quickly reacted, "but it's normal that the Kingdom of Graycastle doesn't need it. When the news gets out, the Fjord Chamber of Commerce will definitely notice your invention. The sea is a treasure basin, so this It’s what you said yourself, isn’t it?”

He did say such a thing, and Rex thought to himself that since the King of Graycastle decided to summon them, he obviously paid special attention to this matter, so according to the recruitment terms, he would definitely receive a generous reward. Whether it is the reward itself or the title of explorer, it can attract a lot of attention and topics for him, thus making the reputation of diving attire spread throughout the fjord islands.

But……

He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty's reward is a book."

Simbadi was stunned, "What did you say?" Sha Min lowered his head slightly and moved his eyes to the object in the other person's hand, "Is it possible..."

"That's it." Rex nodded helplessly. The book is not thick, probably only a few dozen pages, and there is not a single word on the cover, let alone the exquisite borders and prints. Even if it was given by an ordinary noble, it still looked quite shabby, and it really didn't look like a worthy reward.

Such a reward is unlikely to bring fame, and if you tell it, it may even attract ridicule.

"The Great Chief shouldn't be like this..." Simbadi stamped his feet, "Even I was rewarded with twenty golden dragons. As the initiator of the salvage plan, you should have received more than me!"

The fjord people's uprightness made Rex feel a little warm, but he knew in his heart that it was definitely not worth using such things to question a powerful ruler because the other party had already provided conditions for him to realize his wish. It's just that he is still hesitating.

At this time, a personal guard came over and said, "Your Majesty has prepared a residence for you. Please come with me."

"Thank you." He bowed quickly, and then motioned for Simbadi to follow him. No matter what, he should go back and read the contents of the book first.

Not long after leaving the castle area, Rex suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound.

It was like a series of muffled thunder coming from the horizon, but it was crisper.

He let out a soft sigh and looked into the distance following the sound.

I saw a faint black spot appearing in the blue sky.

bird? He had just come up with this idea, but quickly denied his guess. The distance was probably several miles away. What kind of bird could fly with such momentum?

The sand people obviously noticed this phenomenon, and his whole body tensed up, like a warrior on alert.

"That thing...is coming towards us!"

"Enemy?" Rex asked in surprise, "In the capital of Graycastle?"

"I don't know...but it's definitely not some kind of bird or beast!"

"Relax," the guard who led the way said calmly, "That's just a favorite toy of Her Royal Highness. 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... toy?" The two of them found that they could not understand the meaning of each other's words at all.

"His Majesty also advised Her Majesty Tilly not to leave the test flight ground as much as possible, but she believed that the ground was too small to fully display her skills. Apart from the residential areas, factory areas and the whirlpool overseas, the only route left was the castle area." The guard was not surprised and said, "But I always feel that she came here deliberately to show off her skills to His Majesty."

Still can't understand.

However, even though he couldn't understand it, Rex caught a hint of pride in the other person's expression.

In less than a few breaths, the black spot that had just been far away in the horizon was already very close. In the roaring sound, the people of the fjord saw the most incredible scene in their lives.

A metal creature with two pairs of long wings passed over his head like a violent wind. Its shadow was dozens of times larger than the largest seabird. Just looking at its shape made people feel extremely heavy, but it was this one. The extremely heavy iron beast was soaring in the sky at this moment. At the same time, he also saw the figure of a woman on the iron beast. Although he didn't see it clearly, it was indeed flying with people on it.

Fan…

The name suddenly popped into Rex's mind.

The Society of Strange Objects was not a well-organized association, and he did not have much contact with the other party. He only went to watch the flying wing on the day when it was publicly verified. To be honest, he even disliked Fan a little because his unrealistic delusions caused the rare items with a low reputation to become even worse.

But now someone has accomplished this feat in a more exaggerated form.

Looking at the two-winged iron beasts circling the castle, huge waves arose in his heart.

…

The guards took the two of them into a hotel called the Diplomatic Building, left a message, "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 huge shock. He was chanting the blessings of the three gods for a while, and then ran to the window and looked out. He didn't know whether he was afraid or wanted to see the incredible creation again.

Rex locked himself in the bedroom.

He stared at the featureless book in his hand, as if thinking of His Majesty's thoughts. 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 introductions to the customs and customs of Neverwinter, or generous contracts disguised as books, or even forcing members of the Society of Oddities to move to Neverwinter. threat notification

But nothing.

There is only one sentence written on the first page, 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 center of mass of the fluid displaced.

At first glance, it seemed very difficult to say, but after reciting it silently in his mind several times, Rex's eyes gradually widened.

He quickly turned to the second page, and there was a whole page full of arithmetic formulas. Probably considering his ability to understand, each formula was accompanied by detailed annotations. The more he read, the harder it became for him to look away.

Volume, density, buoyancy... these concepts are not unfamiliar, they can be said to be familiar, but at this moment, it was as if he was seeing them for the first time.

Each word is no longer an abstract expression, but a number with a unit; whether an object sinks or floats, and to what extent it sinks can be known by just picking up the pen and calculating.

Rex instantly thought of the steel ships and hydrogen balloons sold to the fjord. They seemed to become real and clear in his memory.

Further back, there is a submersible that can sink and float independently. Although it is just a conceptual diagram, it is undoubtedly feasible when combined with the previous calculations.

In the last few pages of the book, he even saw a strange large ship that could travel on the water like an ordinary sea ship and shuttle under the water like a fish. Its huge body is enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and even the most deadly waves pose no threat to it underwater.

Rex was completely stunned 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 just as he was rejoicing, someone else had already pointed out the entire 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 Graycastle, then with the content in this book, he will definitely reach a new level in his diving and salvage career. It's just that the second stage is the limit that an individual can reach. As for the diving boat in the third stage, he basically has no chance in this life.

If you agree to His Majesty Roland's invitation, this book will become the most powerful means to persuade others, and the Strange Objects Society will also be reborn.
