The old man with the plait was happy but a little confused He said, “I saw that you have s Two of thereedy, the old man then said, “We don’t want your radios for free, you know You see We have valuable information to offer you”
Steve pointed to Li Du and laughed “He is a treasure hunter as well These radios belong to hihted and said, “Hey, youngto tell you”
Li Du followed hi for a discreet corner, the old man with the plait lowered his voice and said, “Do you know about narwhals?”
Li Du nodded The narwhal, also known as the horned whale, was a whale living in the Arctic Ocean Adult speciht of 800 to 1,600 kilograms

A narwhal’s tusk, which Li Du acquired at a warehouse auction and had made into a work of art for Sophie’s father, had won his favor
Like the tusks of mammoths, narwhal tusks were an arctic specialty and orth more than mammoth tusks
When Li Du nodded, the old hed “Very well, our news is related to this You may not know that narwhals don’t just die anywhere When they get old, they go to the invisible cereat roup cemeteries, like mammoths, elephants, and some whales

With a wistful look in his eyes, he went on, “That enty years ago, ere all young, and noe can’t keep up with the old narwhals They are very cunning Their graves are a big secret!”
“Twenty years? Are you sure nobody else has found the place?” asked Li Du
