Chapter 1512: Chapter 721: I Really Didn’t Know that Lord Ma Had Three Eyes!

The Box was heavy, and it took Elijah Hastings and two others to lift it onto the deck of the yacht.

Sean Knight estimated that the contents of the Box weighed at least 100 kilograms—subtracting the 10 kilograms or so of the iron box itself, the rest was the Treasure inside.

"Boss, we’ve made a small fortune this time," Douglas Cooper said with a chuckle,

"Most of what’s inside is golden coins, along with some jewelry, gold and silver ware, and a few statues that look quite nice."

Lincoln Harrington and Elijah Hastings opened the Box on the deck while Douglas Cooper held a Flashlight for Sean Knight.

Sean Knight saw, indeed, nearly a thousand gold coins laid at the bottom of the Box, shining brightly. There were also a few tarnished Silver Coins. The golden coins bore the images of statues, resembling figures from a certain historical period.

Sean Knight casually picked up a coin and weighed it in his hand, approximately twelve or thirteen grams in weight, a bit hefty—gold’s purity wasn’t bad.

Of course, such coins naturally couldn’t be measured by the value of gold alone, as they counted as antiques.

On top of the coins, what caught the eye were several pieces of gold and silver ware inlaid with gemstones, including wine pots, wine glasses, dinner plates, and large bowls stacked together, some already deformed.

Sean Knight guessed that these items were likely plundered by pirates from some wealthy individuals.

Of course, in Sean Knight’s eyes, the most precious were two statues. One was a silver Jesus on the Cross, about thirty or forty centimeters tall. What surprised Sean Knight was that this silver statue hadn’t tarnished and still gleamed with silvery light.

Another was a thirty-centimeter-tall statue of a snake-headed, thousand-handed demon lord with a human body, made of gold and studded with many gemstones. From its appearance, it looked much more luxurious than the previous statue of Jesus.

Of course, what Sean Knight valued was not just the material of these two statues but that they both contained abundant faith-based Energy.

"Boss, this statue..." Douglas, being good at discerning value, naturally recognized the exceptional nature of the statue.

"Yeah, they’ve been worshiped for a long time and contain a Large quantity of faith-based Energy."

"But we tried when we took them out from the Cave Interior and couldn’t feel it!" Douglas Cooper said, puzzled.

At that time, Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington had also come over in their Diving Suits, and upon hearing Douglas Cooper’s words, they both looked at Sean Knight, waiting for his explanation.

"Because the faith-based Energy within has to be drawn out before you can absorb it," Sean Knight explained briefly, "Douglas, go change your clothes first. I’ll deal with these statues, and then you’ll be able to absorb the Energy."

Douglas Cooper happily left to change. Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington took out the statues and then set the Box aside.

Sean Knight stepped forward, sat between the two statues, pressed his hand on one, and began to guide the faith-based Energy within using his spiritual power.

The Energy inside was very pure, and Sean Knight was curious as to where the pirates had stolen it from.

In fact, Sean Knight’s action was straightforward: using his profound spiritual energy, he opened a "portal" in the two statues that contained faith-based Energy, allowing Elijah Hastings and the others to absorb it.

The two statues were like two bottles, each a whole entity. If the bottle’s "mouth" couldn’t be opened, the spiritual Energy contained within could not be absorbed.

With the current abilities of Elijah Hastings and the others, they were unable to open the "mouth," so Sean Knight had to perform this initial step for them.

"Alright, give it a try," Sean Knight opened a portal for the faith-based Energy, absorbed a bit to ensure it wouldn’t have any negative effects on Elijah Hastings and the others, and said,

"Each of you three should try it in turn."

He stood up and moved aside.

Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington exchanged glances, then each touched the statue closest to them.

Soon, a distinct expression appeared on their faces: indeed, the faith-based Energy!

Sean Knight smiled, stepped back a few paces, and looked around, ensuring safety for the two.

Not long after, Douglas Cooper approached, wiping the damp hair on his head, and said to Sean Knight in a low voice,

"Boss, did it work?"

"Yeah, you three take turns," Sean Knight replied.

"I’ll go pilot the yacht," Douglas Cooper said, "We can’t stay here long; shall we head back first?"

"Mm, let’s return to yesterday’s Port," Sean Knight pondered briefly. He wasn’t tired himself, but he thought that after Elijah Hastings and the others had been busy Underwater for so long, they needed a good rest. Then, after some replenishing, they could head back.

"Sounds good!" Douglas Cooper headed towards the cockpit.

At that moment, Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington both opened their eyes in turn.

"You two go to the Bedroom to absorb Energy," Sean Knight said, "It’s too conspicuous here on the Deck."

"Boss, we’ve absorbed Energy, so all the other items are yours now," Elijah Hastings said, "This Energy is far more valuable than gold and silver."

Sean Knight had previously demonstrated the power of Energy to them, and they could sense the changes in their bodies after absorbing the Energy themselves.

"No, no, no, the items were uncovered by you, so everyone should naturally get a share," Sean Knight thought for a moment and then suggested, "Since I provided the Treasure Map, I’ll take four shares. Each of you three will take two."

"Boss, that’s not acceptable," Quinn Harrington waved his hand, "We’ve already absorbed the Energy, which is like taking the lion’s share. To then divide the rest would be utterly shameless."
