Not a word.

In Lu Yu's mind, as if a time bomb had been detonated, it exploded with a bang!

It turned out that the final foothold of this world-famous thief was not King's Bay at all.

It's the Euredia of the South Pacific!

Staring at the black-and-white picture fed back by the drone, Lu Yu frowned, and seemed to be a little unable to accept this established fact for a while.

Back then, Avery joined forces with other pirates to attack Mughal ships, taking 2,000 tons of huge treasure.

The Mughal dynasty put pressure on the Ying authorities, and the Ying navy issued a wanted warrant for Avery.

But Avery was protected by the Governor of the Bahamas.

Set sail to Ireland.

Hearing this, the Ying Navy arrived and captured Avery's comrades.

But by this time, Avery had long since disappeared and became one of the few pirates who could finally escape hanging.

In all fairness.

I never expected that.

This thief really escaped here with the Fantasy?

Right now, whether it's the copper box found before, or the treasure chest in the cave.

All the evidence and clues point to this uninhabited island in the South Pacific!

If that's the case, will the huge treasure that Avery and Thomas have swept up here!?

It's not impossible.

The living conditions of Olidia are no less than those of any other island.

The island is rich in natural resources and freshwater resources, making it very livable.

If possible.

The utopia of the thieves' dreams is most likely built here!

But after thinking about it again, on the day he came to Olidia, Lu Yu had never been on the island at all, and he had never seen a trace of the existence of the "Lost City".

Could it be that Avery's plan ended up in vain?

Or maybe something happened?

After thinking about it, Lu Yu became more and more confused, and then explained:

"Brothers, we have to find a way to climb down from here. ”

"Look at what's in the chest. ”

"I don't know why, but I always feel that the contents of the box are probably the key to solving the mystery......"

The diameter of the cave.

More than one meter.

Crawling down on all fours shouldn't be a problem.

After speaking, Lu Yu turned around.

Hold the edge of the cave with your hands.

Then take advantage of the situation and lower your feet.

It wasn't until I completely stabilized my center of gravity that I used my limbs together and climbed down step by step.

The inner walls of the cave are very smooth.

Even with both hands and feet in battle, it is not easy to perfectly control the center of gravity.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Yu was so tired that he was sweating profusely and out of breath.

In the live broadcast room, only heavy wheezing was left, and it was endless.

"Spoilt welfare!"

The voice...... Mom, listen to me!"

"Although the body twitched, everything became tasteless!"

"This is not a car to kindergarten, I'm going to get off!"

"I'm wet!"

"Is it really okay for you to complain about the anchor like this?"

After climbing down for more than ten meters, Lu Yu supported his body with his limbs, looked at the barrage, and said with a wry smile in front of the camera:

"Brothers, don't laugh at me—"

"This kind of climb is more tiring than trekking five kilometers in the jungle......"

"Whew! The altitude of the Twin Mountains is about more than 300 meters, and although the dark river at the foot is inside the mountain, according to my visual observation, this section of the road is more than 200 meters, and it is really not an easy task to climb down. ”

Even if there is a river below, the consequences of losing your footing are very serious.

Minor fractures can be fractured.

In the worst case, it can be directly fatal.

Even if the river is deep enough, it is a life and death.

Therefore, the process of climbing down cannot be distracted in any way.

It is not only necessary to learn to conserve physical strength.

It's all about concentration and patience.

In the blink of an eye.

Stop-and-go along the way, stumbling and stumbling.

An hour passed in a flash.

At this moment, Lu Yu also descended eighty or ninety meters.

It is less than twenty or thirty meters away from the bottom of the cave.

Immediately after that, he climbed down for a while.

Lu Yu casually found a few rock spots, took a nap, and took a breath.

Being in the middle of it, looking back.

The whole picture of the dark river finally came into full view.

The deep river is like a bay of black ink, constantly struggling in the darkness.

Quietly flowing into the distance.

The current is very fast, and there is a lot of movement.

It seems that there should be a steep hurdle in the lower stream of the dark river.

It's probably an undercurrent waterfall.

After weighing it in his heart for a long time, Lu Yu also rested almost completely, said hello to the audience, and then continued to climb down.

With the decrease of height, the weathering and erosion phenomenon of the cave wall is getting smaller and smaller.

There are more and more rock spots.

It provides a lot of convenience for climbing.

One comes and goes.

The speed at which Lu Yu descended was also getting faster and faster.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Three meters.

Soon to the bottom of the cave.

Holding his body, Lu Yu observed the places around him where he could stay.

After finding his position, he very decisively let go of his hands and jumped to the shore.

Sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Lu Yu moved his sore limbs twice, then stood up and went straight to the treasure chest.

"Alright, let me see, what's hidden in here-"

The ornamentation and engraving of the treasure chest are very exquisite.

Aside from the patina on it, you can tell at a glance that it is a precious artifact.

It's just that now, it's long gone beyond recognition.

Only the balance mark on it is still clearly visible.

Standing in front of the box, Lu Yuzai studied it carefully, and then put his hand on it.

The box is unlocked.

But because of the rust is terrible.

It is difficult to open it by manpower alone.

Lu Yu tried twice, but it didn't work at all.

I had no choice but to take out another stone axe in the end.

"Whew, honestly, a little nervous......"

"Alright, brothers, no more nonsense, please keep your eyes open and wait and see—"

"Bang ——!"

After that, Lu Yu raised the stone axe, and against the gap in the box, it was a heavy axe!

A loud crash resounded through the cavern.

Extremely clear.

Then, the treasure chest opened, and a lot of objects rolled out in a hurry.

Among them, the most conspicuous is more than a dozen shiny gold bars.

As for the vast majority of the rest.

Most of them are typical Indo-style utensils and jewelry.

A large box full of them.

After seeing these gold, silver and jewelry, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded all of a sudden!

"I'll go!"

"Gold bars!"

"Awesome, I'm really rich this time!"

"I'm Nima, what's going on?"

"The streamer won't really find the treasure, will he?!"

"Feather God: Brothers, small scene!

……

The reference of the balance symbol on the treasure chest is already very obvious.

That's what Avery built to build the utopian city of his dreams.

As for the artifacts inside, it is likely that they are treasures from the Mughal treasure ship.

But the question is, why did the treasure chest end up here?

Could it be that this cave is where the pirates hid their treasures?

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu picked up a gold bar from the ground and examined it carefully.

The shape of the gold bars, nothing special.

The portion is also sufficient.

There is an inscription on the back.

It records the provenance, time, and weight of the bar.

The text of the inscription is not Old English.

Rather, it is Old Persian.

The history of the Mughal dynasty is recorded in the Master's Guide.

Therefore, Lu Yu recognized it at a glance, and the top line of the gold bar inscription reads: Mughal Dynasty, 1702.

As for the latter part, it should be some of the words and phrases in the scriptures.

It's tedious.

I don't understand it at all.

After adjusting the lens of the drone, Lu Yu pointed it at the inscription of the gold bar, and then explained:

"Brothers, this is Old Persian. ”

The Persian word in the top line means Mughal dynasty, while the bottom line shows when the gold bars were produced. ”

Therefore, there is no doubt that this treasure box should be the treasure of the Mughal Empire's treasure ship intercepted by Avery back then. ”

The Mughal Empire, with a long history, was a Turkicized Mongol, a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India by Babur, a descendant of Timur.

After the collapse of the Timurid Empire, Babur, a descendant of his royal family, led an invasion of the South Asian subcontinent and established the Mughal Empire.

The empire declined during the reign of his son Humayun, and then reached its heyday under the third emperor, Akbar.

During this period, a policy of cultural integration and religious tolerance was practiced within the Mughal Empire.

But this policy was abandoned due to rebellion during the reign of the fourth emperor, Jahangir.

By the time of the fifth emperor, Shah Jahan, the Mughal Empire was stronger than ever.

However, due to internal disputes due to the construction and taxation of Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son Aurangzeb in 1657.

The Mughal Empire was at its height during Aurangzeb's time, but a series of problems left over from the Shah Jahan period led to the decline of the Mughal Empire.

At the height of the Mughal Empire, its territory included almost the entire South Asian subcontinent and Afghanistan.

The earth-shattering heist that Avery committed took place at this time.

After the decline of the Mughal Empire, colonial empires such as the British Empire, the French Colonial Empire, the Dutch Colonial Empire, and the Grape Bud Colonial Empire competed for colonies in India.

In the end, Yingguo won.

Make the Mughal emperor a puppet.

It was not until 1858 that Queen Victoria of Ying was awarded the title of Empress of India and established Ying's Indu.

The Mughal dynasty came to an end.

Inside the treasure chest, the shape of the gold and silver artifacts basically conforms to the casting style of the Mughal Dynasty.

The timing is right.

……

Putting down the gold bar, Lu Yu picked up a rusty copper sword again.

Because of years of oxidation, the copper sword rusted badly.

The blade is fragile.

With a light touch of your hand, you can drop countless debris.

Several rare alloys were added to the bronze sword.

The hardness and texture are excellent.

It can be seen that compared to the imperial civilization of the same period.

The smelting technology of the Mughal Dynasty is already very good.

"This box of treasures, if it hadn't been left here, would have been stranded by the river when the water level of the dark river rose. ”

"I think it's the latter. ”

In order to verify his idea, Lu Yu picked up a gold bar and searched for it all the way downstream along the dark river.

Sure enough.

Almost everywhere on the banks of the river, you can see gold and silver artifacts scattered.

It seems that the location of the treasure is likely to be around here.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu immediately went in the opposite direction.

As a result, after walking for a while, I came across a fork in the road.

The river came from the two caves and finally came together.

After walking around for a while, I didn't find any valuable clues.

In desperation, Lu Yu casually found a hole and got in.

The cave is narrow.

I can't see my fingers.

It can only be passed by squatting.

It staggered for nearly ten minutes before a change appeared.

At this time, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the far left side of the rock wall.

An undercurrent, out of which it flows.

The bottom of the water is littered with broken porcelain tiles and jewelry.

It seems that the inside of the rock wall should also be a dark river.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu put his ear to the rock wall and listened for a while.

As a result, the sound of water was really heard.

"There are a lot of scattered treasures here, too. ”

"No accident, the river inside may bring us more clues, let's go and see it first......"

As he spoke, Lu Yu immediately turned sideways and squeezed into the rock crevice.

The crevices can only hold the next person.

The entire rock wall, sloping inward, is very cramped.

Fortunately, it's not a long road.

After only five minutes of walking, everything in front of me suddenly became clear.

At the very front of the line of sight, a large rocky platform appeared.

platform, chaos.

Scattered were broken swords, iron shields, daggers, and countless bones dressed in pirate clothing.

Some leaned against the rock face.

Some fell crookedly to the ground.

Very irregular.

It looks like there's been a massive fight.

Looking up, on the rock wall of the platform, there is a big English word: "Thief!"

“Thief……”

"It's in English, it means thief. ”

"Who carved it into this?"

Staring at the twisted handwriting on the wall, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

Is it Avery?

Or the navy that pursued him?

Or his pirate subjects?

I thought about it for a while.

Combined with the scene in front of him, Lu Yu finally opened his mouth slowly.

I said my thoughts one by one:

"Speaking of which, Avery and the pirates are likely to have established a dream kingdom in Olidia. ”

But greed didn't make them succeed in the end. ”

"The pirates gathered the looted treasures and established a so-called mysterious kingdom. ”

"But in reality, this is no different from a military state, and it simply cannot last. ”

"In the beginning, a few pirate captains preached to the low-level crew about the utopia of equal wealth, and then went on a mystic streak to increase the sense of honor and get them to join in the process. ”

"When the social infrastructure is completed, perhaps, before it is completed, the captains will be transformed from pirate leaders who want to share the spoils together to the ruling class of the country in disguised possession of all the treasures, and the ordinary crew members will naturally become the so-called proletariat. ”

"The thief on the stone wall should refer to the privatization of the state, and the contradiction has changed from within the pirate group to social class antagonism, and finally the fate of the people at the bottom has exploded......"

After the outbreak of the civil war, ordinary sailors chased them all the way here in search of treasure.

Eventually, a battle inevitably ensued.

As for the result, it should be what we see today......
