Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 19 The Thief in the Treasure Island Story

The little girl who got a new name finally finished drinking a full bottle of milk in the old housekeeper's arms; interestingly, until she fell asleep again with a burp, Minerva's eyes never left Lin You, as if she wanted to remember this "enemy" who made her cry twice.

The old housekeeper got the right to take care of the baby girl as he wished. When he left with the little girl in his arms, he kept muttering that he would arrange "Miss Minerva" to the baby room where the young master lived when he was a child.

Lin You himself didn’t even know there was a “baby room” in his home; when his consciousness “arrived”, this body was already seven years old and he had never experienced childhood at all.

However, Lin You did not go to see the so-called "baby room he had lived in" with his own eyes, because the solar system model in the laboratory was calling him; someone was contacting him. It was not until this time that he remembered that he was supposed to contact God tonight to inquire about the results of the investigation of the Treasure Island world.

When I entered the laboratory, I saw that the figure of God appeared on the solar system model.

"The world of Treasure Island has no intersection with the big world in either time or space." God's tone was calm, but one could hear a hint of worry hidden in it.

"So, it's not caused by natural factors, but man-made?" Lin You sat down in the chair. Going to the Saint Seiya world was tiring and exhausting.

"I think so, but it's better to confirm it again."

"How to confirm?"

"Go to the Treasure Island world." God looked at Lin You and said, "Take the treasure map from the Treasure Island story and compare it with the treasure map found in the big world. If the contents of the two maps are the same, it means that this incident is not a natural coincidence."

Lin You sighed and collapsed on the chair, not wanting to move at all; "You are God, you can see through the entire Treasure Island world at a glance, why do you want me to make another trip?"

"You should know that in order to reduce the impact on the story world, the gods rarely descend into story worlds that do not belong to them - especially those worlds where gods do not originally exist. I don't want to completely change the properties of the Treasure Island world just for a picture."

"But I also know magic! There is no magic element in the story of Treasure Island." Lin You wanted to continue finding excuses to be lazy.

"But your soul is still a human being after all." God would not listen to his nonsense. "Of course, you should be as careful as possible when you go there. Even if your magic is exposed, it is best to let the locals think that you are just a lousy magician or something like that."

"Fuck you, crappy magician." Lin You cursed, but he knew he couldn't avoid this job; after all, the premise for him to enjoy life was to help the gods solve the difficulties encountered in the process of world integration.

They have already received their salary in advance.

The eight-year-old boy stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch the top shelf of the bookcase, and finally touched down a box more than a foot long. When he opened it, he found a black gloomy wood wand in the box.

The shape of this magic wand is quite unique. The handle is like a dead vine twisted into a shape of a dragon, but the head of the wand is as sharp as a thorn. Combined with the hard texture of the dark wood itself, even if it is not used to cast spells, it can be used as a dagger for close combat.

"This is the first time for me, a lousy magician, to use the magic wand heirloomed in my family." Lin You joked to himself as he walked into the portal opened by God.

Similar crossings have been carried out countless times in the past year, and both sides are familiar with it.

Coming out of the portal, there is a beach where you land. The sound of waves is heard in your ears, and the salty sea breeze blows, which makes your whole body wet and sticky in a short while. Lin You looked around and saw a small bay not far away, with a small fishing port in the bay. Behind the fishing port is a towering cliff with lush greenery on it. There is a faint path winding up from the gap in the cliff.

The tide had just receded on the beach, and the sand had become soft due to the seawater, so that Lin You's two feet were completely sunk into the sand. He looked down and found that he was still wearing the exquisite dress he wore during the ceremony, which was out of place in Central and South America in the 18th century.

In the distance, women and children from fishermen's families were walking on the beach, picking up seafood brought by the tide. Lin You didn't want to be seen, so he waved his wand and cast an illusion spell on himself before entering the fishing port.

In this story, which does not contain any supernatural powers, an Disillusionment Charm is enough to meet the need for invisibility.

Lin You vaguely remembered that the story of Treasure Island began in a small country hotel on a cliff by the sea, so his goal was clear and he didn't worry about finding the wrong place; because with the passenger flow of the small fishing port and the village, the nearby area could not accommodate two hotels.

After passing the fishing port and following the path up to the cliff, you can see the small hotel at a glance; in front of the hotel is a road leading to nearby villages and towns. The hotel is built in this location to cater to both sea and land travelers.

Standing against the wall of the hotel, the eight-year-old boy stood on tiptoe and looked into the window.

A tall, strong and sloppy man with a locked suitcase was about to stay in the inn. He told his name and asked the inn owner's son, who was a handyman, to help him keep an eye out for a man nicknamed "One-legged Sailor".

Seeing this, Lin You knew that the treasure map that led to the whole story was now in that big box.

The timing is very coincidental, as it is right at the beginning of the story, and most of the relevant characters will not appear for a long time, which can minimize the possibility of accidents.

Of course, this can also minimize Lin You’s influence on the world.

The sturdy sailor who called himself the old captain seemed like a man who couldn't sit still. After putting away his luggage, he only stayed in the hotel for a short while and then went out for a walk in the bay. His eyes moved back and forth, vigilantly and secretly looking at everyone who came into his sight.

This action actually made it convenient for Lin You. Relying on the Illusion Spell, he broke into the hotel directly, entered the room silently, opened the box with an unlocking spell, and took out the oilcloth bag containing the treasure map.

Didn't alarm anyone.

Lin You was even very careful to shine a strong light on the treasure map to prevent himself from missing any secret layers. When he was sure that the treasure map was just a normal parchment, he used the copy spell to copy the map, and then restored the oilcloth bag and the box to their original state.

When leaving the inn, Lin You couldn't help but feel a little emotional; no wonder wizards always despise Muggles. If we ignore the powerful collective power brought by social organizations, Muggles are no different from blind and deaf people in front of wizards.

The whole process took less than twenty minutes, and Lin You returned to the laboratory of the Big World without even breaking a sweat.

The two maps were spread out on the table at the same time. The patterns on them could not be said to be exactly the same, but they were exactly the same. It was as if they were copied using a copying spell.
