Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Is your promotion ceremony over?" Seeing Liang En open his eyes, Joan of Arc who had been accompanying him in the room asked with some concern.

"Yes, the ceremony is over. What you said before is right. I really need to go all out when I upgrade." Liang En showed a smile at this time, and then lightly snapped his fingers.

In an instant, four baseball-sized spheres appeared next to Liang En and started to rotate around him. One of them was a water sphere, one was a fire sphere, one was a wind sphere, and the other was an earth sphere.

These spheres rotated around the room under Liang En's operation, looking extremely flexible, while Joan of Arc on the side found that these spheres were much stronger than imagined.

To give the simplest example, the fireball came close to the bed sheet many times, and once even almost brushed against the bed sheet. But the strange thing was that the bed sheet did not catch fire, and there was not even a trace of scorch marks.

"This is a transformation of some old skills in the past." After another snap of his fingers to disperse the spheres, Liang En said, "Compared with the past, the use of cards is much more flexible now."

This upgrade not only enhances the flexibility of the cards, but also other aspects, such as the integration of some skills. For example, Liang En can now use the shape shaping ability in the original [Rock Mastery (SR)]. Adjust the appearance of water, fire and wind.

In addition, Liang En can now cast spells without using materials and create some items out of thin air, but the corresponding monthly payment is twice the legendary power.

And if you learn new skills in the future, they will be integrated into these powers. But what it will look like and the final degree of integration will depend on how far Liang En's research level has reached.

All in all, purely in terms of spell-casting ability, Liang En feels that he can defeat at least ten of his previous selves. As for the degree of application of these extraordinary powers, it can be said to be two completely different levels.

"This is indeed a happy thing." After listening to Liang En explain what he had gained, a big smile appeared on Jeanne's face. "So I thought it would be a good time to celebrate tonight."

"Night? How long did it take me just now? After hearing what Joan said, Liang En looked out the window and asked curiously as the sky turned completely dark.

"About two hours." Jeanne raised her hand and looked at the time on her watch and said. "You have been lying there just now, and your breathing has become very slow. After an hour of this, you suddenly woke up."

"Is there no light, heat, or any other special movement?" Liang En asked curiously, because he could feel that his power level was significantly stronger than ever before.

"Really not. I have been staring at you during this time. If there was, I would definitely not ignore it." Joan of Arc shook her head firmly and said. "But one thing I can confirm is that your aura has indeed increased significantly."

As a historical follower, Joan of Arc naturally has a special connection with Liang En. For example, she can feel this extraordinary power that normal people cannot feel.

But other than that, she didn't feel any difference. At least from a normal perspective, Liang En just lay down on the bed and slept, and there was nothing strange about her.

"Okay, this can be considered a good thing." Liang En nodded. He also realized that turning into a human bulb was not a good thing at this time, otherwise it would be absolutely troublesome to explain. "Is there any more important news in the past two days?"

"Yes, according to your previous order, the White Knight team has arrived at the Manila port, and the ship will arrive tomorrow." Joan of Arc nodded and said, so we'd better get to the port as soon as possible. "

"So have we obtained the permit?" Liang En asked a key question. After all, although this time it is not in the territorial waters of the Philippines, it is in the other party's exclusive economic zone.

"I've already got it, a license of US$30,000 a month, no additional taxes required." Joan smiled and said, "Unlike salvage in the territory or territorial waters, salvage work in the exclusive economic zone is much easier."

"That's because ordinary people have no way to dig in the sea." Liang En took out a document and said. "For example, the location we want to salvage now is about 21m underwater, which is far beyond the normal salvage depth."

"That's right. With a water depth of more than 20 meters and a distance of more than 35 nautical miles from the coastline, it is definitely not an easy task to salvage in a place like this." Joan of Arc nodded.

"By the way, you are using this as cover this time. Which ship do you want to salvage? At least according to the information I have found, there are at least more than 150 Japanese transport ships sunk around the Philippines."

"Our target is a Type 1B cargo ship built by the Japanese during World War II." Liang En stood up from the bed and said.

"This ship was sunk by a US submarine in the Balintang Strait in the north of the Philippines in the second half of 1944. I found the information with great difficulty."

"The specific situation of this ship is unclear at the moment because the Japanese destroyed a large amount of information before the end of World War II, especially information related to the plunder of resources in Southeast Asia, so we don't know what was on the ship."

The Type 1B cargo ship is an ocean-going cargo ship with a gross tonnage of 4,500 meters, a length of 112 meters, a width of 15.8 meters, a draft of 9.1 meters, two No. 2 round tube boilers, a maximum power of 2,200 horsepower, a speed of 12.3 knots, and a cruising range of 8,000 nautical miles.

All of these ships were built by Uraga Shipyard, a total of 16 ships. Due to their larger sizes, 1A and 1B cargo ships are generally used to transport large cargoes between Southeast Asia, China and Japan.

Of course, because the Japanese navy broke down the maritime escort system during World War II, such large-tonnage cargo ships are naturally the best targets for American submarines. During World War II, Japan lost 80% of its merchant ships.

Therefore, shipwrecks like this can be said to be found everywhere on the seabed throughout Southeast Asia, and their tonnage varies in size. However, because most of them are filled with oil, rubber or tin, not many have been salvaged.

After all, it is expensive to salvage things that have sunk to the bottom of the sea in relatively deep waters. For such low-value goods that are likely to be scrapped due to seawater immersion and scrapping, the salvage cost is likely to be higher than the value of the goods.

For example, this is the case with the ship that Liang En and the others planned to use as a cover for the Golden Buddha. Many people knew about this ship, but everyone thought that the things on it were cheap and not very valuable, so no one salvaged it.

"Is that going to be dangerous?" Joan became nervous after hearing that it was a Japanese ship. "You know, these Japanese people really have no lower limit. If there are any biological and chemical weapons on the ship, they will be in trouble."

"You don't have to worry about this." Liang En smiled and said, "At least according to the records of the US Navy, this ship was heading towards the northern mainland when it was sunk."

"Considering the situation at that time, the precious tonnage was basically used to transport various raw materials from Southeast Asia to the north. It was impossible to transport those weapons and ammunition."

"That's good. I hope everything goes well for us in the future." After listening to Liang En's explanation, Jeanne nodded, "I hope we can get everything done smoothly."
