The energy emitted from the jade pieces was very cool. They would not have energy like that if they were buried underground. Therefore, Wilbur assumed that these jade pieces came from the bottom of the sea.
Haron found the jade collectibles from sunken ships, yet they had no scent of the sea, which meant that Haron was a cautious person. He probably held on to the batch of goods for more than a month before he traded them on the market.
Therefore, Wilbur was sure that Haron must have found the trade route that went to Terya from Rostead. Moreover, he must have found some sunken trade ships.
The seventh cauldron was probably from there. According to Dasha culture, they liked to pair collectibles, so there were probably two cauldrons on that ship. If his guess was correct, Wilbur believed that he would find the next cauldron soon.
However, it did not seem like an easy task. Kearson and Haron would be wary of him. He could only get to learn about the trade route slowly through Molton.
Since Molton was a sneaky merchant, the best way to manipulate him was to be on his side through profit and trade. Wilbur lied that he had a friend in the jade collectible business to bait Molton.
Just when Wilbur was observing the jade collectibles, he heard someone knock on the door. He walked to the door and opened it, just to see Molton and two men standing outside. Molton adjusted his clothes and said with a smile, "Mister Penn, I was wondering if you are free. I would like to invite you to dinner."
"How did you know I was staying here, Mister Molton?"
