“Should I dump the treasure?” Adam asked as they flew towards the cave where they’d parked their airship.

“No, we need those as the distraction,” Emelia said. “The Whale Eaters teamed up with Fallow’s Fallen, so we can use the treasure to get their attention.”

“How much do you think we’ve got?”

“Altogether? At least 1500 Doubloons’ worth.”

“Is that a lot?” Adam asked, having no clue what value the currency had.

“We could buy two normal ship upgrades with that, or one really powerful one. It’s also enough to buy an Epic Relic from a vendor.”

As they reached their airship, Adam dropped the chests onto the main deck, before shaping the barriers into claws to grab them with and turning them upside-down. The Doubloons and jewels spilled out onto the deck, making it quite clear just how much had been inside the chests.

Carrying this without barriers would’ve been quite a challenge, he mused. There’s gotta be like 80 kilos or more between the two chests.

While he’d prepared the bait, Emelia had started manoeuvring Thunder Rider out of the cliff-side cave, barely speeding up the propellers so as to not make their movement obvious. The Golden Slug was still on the horizon, but it was coming towards them with quite a lot of speed.
