Chapter 14 The Sea of Yearning
"Fountain of Youth, can you really be young forever after drinking it?" asked Donna, her eyes wide and curious.
She didn't have much to look forward to, because she was still young enough.
Erlan didn't answer immediately, forked a slice of fried fish-man side ribs, bit and swallowed it in two bites, and then took a sip of Sunia's blood wine.
"The sweet taste completely dilutes the greasy taste of frying......," he said, half-closing his eyes, in the style of a gourmet.
After a few seconds of reflection, he slowly answered Donna's question:
"I don't know if there is a 'Fountain of Youth' or if the 'King of the Immortals' Agaritu drank its water, but I only know one thing, and that is that when I was very young, I heard the legend of this pirate king, just as Naster, the 'King of the Five Seas', seemed to live forever. ”
"Their beards must be long, long and go over their chests!" Denton said.
"In fact, Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas', whose beard only reaches below his neck, sits on the deck, wearing a magnificent robe with silver trim on a black background, and a minaret crown twice as tall as his head, looking down on everything around him like a god......" Erlan's tone gradually deepened, as if he was stuck in a quagmire of memories and could not break free.
"Uncle Captain, have you seen the 'King of the Five Seas'?" Donna asked excitedly.
This is the most legendary of pirates, whose name is known to even the children of the port city.
Whole generations have grown up listening to stories about him!
In a sense, in the minds of many, Nast is the true pirate king...... I remember that one of the conditions for the promotion of the "Black Emperor" was to link his name to the title of 'Emperor', which penetrated into the hearts of the people...... Is this an attempt at the rudimentary version of the rudimentary version? I don't know how long the "King of the Five Seas" has reached the sequence...... Although Klein focused on tasting the fried fish and human meat, he was still stirred by the topic of the crowd.
In the face of Donna's question, Erlan sighed and said:
"I was very young at the time, serving aboard the Wilhelm V, and on one occasion our fleet was trying to cross the Scourge Strait in the Raging Sea, where we encountered the Black Emperor.
"In those few minutes, everyone, including the captain of the fleet, lost the will to resist, but luckily Nast did not give the order to attack us. ”
"Cool!" complimented the boy Denton, his eyes lit up.
Erlan didn't continue the topic anymore, and smiled:
"As for the 'Immortal King' Agaturi, I have not actually seen him, but I know that he is a middle-aged man with a pale face on the bounty order, how pale is it? ”
When Donna and Denton heard this analogy, they subconsciously glanced at the merman's corpse, which was already riddled with holes, and unconsciously squirmed their throats.
"Of course, the point of the bounty order is not the looks, but the amount, and in Rune alone, Agaturi is worth 100,000 pounds, and he is the lowest bounty among the four kings. "We continue the story of the treasure, and in third place is 'The Legacy of Solomon's Empire', in the Quaternary Age, when that vast empire was dismembered and destroyed, its royal family boarded ships with treasures that were the envy of the gods, and sailed into the depths of the misty sea, waiting for the opportunity to rebuild the dynasty, but five hundred years passed, a thousand years passed, and fifteen hundred years passed, and they never appeared again. ”
"It is said that Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas', inherited part of the legacy of the Solomon Empire, and no one knows if he is a descendant of the real Black Emperor. Cecil added with interest.
"The Misty Sea, the west coast of the North Continent?" Donna thought back to her geography knowledge.
"Yes. Cleves replied succinctly.
The north continent is surrounded by the Misty Sea to the west, the Sunia Sea to the east, the Furious Sea to the south, the North Sea to the north, the east and west sides of the South Continent are similar to the North Continent, and the south is the Polar Sea.
Backed by the Honaches Mountains and the inland Sea, the Kingdom of Rune is bordered by the Sunia Sea to the east and the Gulf of Dessi to the south, occupying several excellent outlets to the "Furious Sea", but does not involve the Misty Sea.
"Well......" Donna was not interested in the treasure that was too far away, and asked instead, "what about the fourth treasure?"
"It belonged to Trenthorst, the last empire of the Quaternary Age, and it was rumored that they had built a huge ship equivalent to a city, and transferred all their treasures and treasures to it, but ironically, their evasion did not work, and none of the intended passengers and crew reached the port in time, and none of them survived.
"However, the ship disappeared on its own, and to this day, it is often claimed that on a foggy night, the huge ship passed silently, and it was called the 'Ghost Empire', and it haunted the Sunia Sea, well, from those stories. Erlan looked up at the red moon in the sky, with a bit of mockery in his tone, and a yearning that was difficult to hide.
"Maybe tomorrow night, no, tonight, we'll see it pass by!" Donna thought expectantly and excitedly.
Crane packed up the rest of the food, took a sip of black tea, and listened with interest as Erlan told the rest of the treasure:
"The fifth is 'Lost Neus', and it is rumored that at the bottom of the misty sea, there is a civilization that belongs to intelligent beings. The navigators and adventurers of that sea often find strange objects, all of which point to Newnes in ancient times, but the members of this civilization have never appeared, as if they have long disappeared from this world. Erlan took a sip of the remaining Sunian blood and said, "It's a legacy left by a civilization, and the richness is absolutely unimaginable. ”
Erlan paused for two seconds, put down his glass, and laughed:
"Actually, the treasure that I yearn for the most, and the treasure that is actually more than legendary, is the 'Sunken Laurel', which was loaded with gold jewels and various valuables that the kingdom had obtained from East Bailang more than a hundred years ago, but because it deviated from the course and sank in the Raging Sea and the Sunia Sea somewhere, it has not been found to this day.
"It is said that the items on it are worth millions of pounds in total!"
"How many million pounds?" the figure made Donna blurt out in shock.
As the daughter of a businessman who had been educated for several years, she had a vague idea of what the number meant.
In Rune, millionaires are the absolute rich, second only to the top nobles and tycoons!
Mrs. Mary, who let me join the Kragg Club for free, is a member of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee, the majority shareholder of the Coim Company, and her net worth is only tens of thousands of pounds, and even so, she is rich enough in the circle of aristocrats and businessmen, and is quite a popular divorced lady, and even has the children of nobles asking for marriage...... Klein quickly found a place to compare.
Erlan sighed with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"If I can find the Sunken Laurel, then I will no longer be a captain, I will go to Beckland, I will become a philanthropist, I will buy land, donate to a political party, and get a hereditary knighthood!"
I've heard Talim mention that the Lord, that is, from the Baron, is about £300,000, and the Baron is about £800,000...... If you salvage the treasure, the viscount, or even the count, is conceivable...... Millions of pounds! Klein mentally helped the other party refine the plan.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be like this, I'm going to buy a big estate. Cecil also began to imagine what life would be like after harvesting the treasures, "I will have to hire many servants and servants to plant large fields of wheat and build vineyards to make wine for myself...... Also, the large room where you can bask in the sun, the cows, sheep and horses that move leisurely, and the bread from the house mill are as beautiful as a painting......"
Erlan laughed when he heard this:
"Ma'am, do you know how much such a manor is worth?"
"No, I don't know. Cecil shook his head.
"It's only a few thousand pounds, and you can buy a thousand similar estates as long as you salvage the 'Sunken Laurel'!" Elland illustrated the value of the treasure with concrete figures.
A thousand manors?Cecil couldn't help but pick up his cup and take a sip of black tea.
Before that, she knew that a few million pounds was a lot of money, but she didn't expect it to be so much!
To soothe the shock in her heart, she looked at Cleves:
"Chief, if you found the Sunken Laurel, what are you going to buy, no, what kind of life are you going to live?"
Cleves was silent for a moment and said:
"Go home, hug my wife and children and tell them I don't have to venture out to sea anymore. ”
Nice guys...... Klein nodded slightly.
Donna looked at him curiously:
"Uncle Adventurer, what about you?"
Crane replied expressionlessly:
"Tell yourself, don't sleep anymore and wake up quickly. ”
Burst...... Donna squirted out the sweet iced tea she had just drunk, and luckily, the fried fish on the table had already been eaten.
At this time, Klein sighed in his heart:
Although I knew that it was basically impossible to find the treasure, otherwise so many strong people in the major churches would have completed it long ago, but when I discussed the corresponding topic just now, I still couldn't help but feel a little warm, this is the charm of the treasure! Even if it is just a legend, it can attract many adventurers!
Donna wiped her mouth and sat down like a lady, as if it wasn't her who had lost her temper just now.
The little boy Denton asked intently:
"Are there any other treasure legends?"
Erlan looked at Cleves and motioned for him to answer.
Cleves took a sip of black tea unhurriedly and said in a low tone:
"The treasures of the sea are never counted, the hidden settlements of the elves, the pirate ships that are lost in the depths of the mist, the underwater city that seals the mighty monsters, the last vault of Russell the Great, etc., etc., etc. ”
The Emperor has reached the level of leaving treasure legends for others...... If so, will there be a blasphemy card in it? How many will there be? By the way, the legend of the "Death Key" may be able to help Mr. Azik recover more of his memories, so write to him later...... Crane thought curiously and expectantly.
