Li Huan felt even more that there was a problem in his heart, whether the ancestors of the Heroic Spirit were bragging or not, but Li Huan suddenly had a feeling that the truncated sheepskin map in his hand was actually "mass-produced". In order to confirm his feelings, Li Huan took out a hundred euros without saying a word and said, "Okay, show me, if it's suitable, I'll buy it." ”

Not only Li Huan, but also Fiona and Chen Xue on the virtual screen.

"Brother Huan, you are absolutely fooled, hahaha, the nautical chart of Atlantis, you can take a look at it for only a hundred euros, this is too good to blow. Chen Xue couldn't help but laugh: "Hurry up and see what it looks like?"

"These dock hustlers, hey, are still playing this game. Fiona also smiled: "Since the Middle Ages, the phrase 'betting with the sailors of the dock' has almost become the standard for liars. As long as the people of Lisbon hear this, they will turn their heads and leave as soon as possible. Besides, even if a bet is made, it should only be won from an explorer, a fleet commander, or even a pirate leader, so why should a sailor have such a precious thing?"

After speaking, Fiona suddenly realized: "Master, you said that you found the clue of Atlantis, you didn't find a sheepskin map with the entrance to Atlantis marked somewhere, you are serious, right? This method was used by Lisbon sailors in the 17th century to deceive those Western adventurers who were stupid and rich." ”

When the stall owner mysteriously brought a sheepskin map, Li Huan took it and looked at it, his face turned completely dark.

That's right, this parchment map is almost exactly the same as the mutilated one I found. The islands arranged diagonally, with complex lines and lines on the map, scanned the things on the map and compared them on the virtual screen, and more than 95% of the places coincided.

The only thing that made Li Huan a little relieved was that at least it was hand-painted, not mass-produced......

How credible is a map for a hundred euros at a glance?

Li Huan's hands were shaking while holding the map.

This action obviously made Chen Xue and Fiona, who were watching Li Huan's first-person perspective, find out, and after the two girls were stunned, Chen Xue kindly asked, "Brother Huan, you won't really let a fake map fool you, right?"

"Guess!" Li Huan gritted his teeth.

"Master, you don't have to be too angry, this kind of trick has deceived I don't know how many Western explorers. As an Oriental, it's all too normal for you to be fooled. ”

"That's it, Brother Huan, don't be angry, just take a tour...... You go to the flea market again, it doesn't matter if you can't find Atlantis, you can bring back some more souvenirs. ”

After Li Huan saw the map of "One Hundred Euros, One Look", he was sure that he had fallen for evil. It is unknown whether the explorer who established the No. 1 under Nanshan was fooled like himself, or bragged with his wife, anyway, Li Huan was properly fooled.

Fortunately, Li Huan also figured it out after sulking for a while, who hasn't been deceived once in his life. Anyway, I've been fooled, so I should come out and play a lap. Fortunately, this flea market is really interesting, after Li Huan was not angry, he began to wander around the flea market to pass the time, and he really found a fun stall while shopping.

This is a handicraft shop with strong characteristics of the Middle Age of Discovery, not a street stall, but a real handicraft of the Age of Discovery. As the pioneers of the Age of Discovery, the Portuguese colonized more than 50 countries and incorporated a variety of local craftsmanship characteristics, so the craftsmanship of many things is very exquisite. The dazzling array of handicrafts in front of me are of different styles, and upon inquiry, these things are all expensive. However, Li Huan knew that these handicrafts were absolutely handmade, not comparable to those mass-produced by machines in the store.

For these exotic things, Li Huan and Chen Xue have little resistance. And at this time, Chen Xue was shouting on the virtual screen that Li Huan would buy all these things. Li Huan was completely convinced that if she was here now, she would definitely have jumped up with a smile.

With Chen Xue's character, she would definitely do this.

And Li Huan was "deceived" and needed to vent.

Therefore, after Li Huan looked at these exotic handicrafts, he stood up and said to the shopkeeper very imposingly: "Please pack all these handicrafts, I want all the handicrafts in your store!"

These crafts can be used as gifts for guests when the museum opens.

The shopkeeper didn't seem to understand Li Huan's words, or thought he was joking, so he asked hesitantly: "Sorry sir, can you say it again?"

Li Huan repeated with a smile: "I said, I want to buy all your handicrafts here, including these bow statues, please pack them all for me, I want to ship them back to China, and I can pay you cash." ”

Li Huan's Portuguese words were round, and finally made the shopkeeper understand that it had become a tradition for him to meet a local tyrant from China to buy and buy, and this local tyrant was serious.

The shopkeeper immediately shouted excitedly at his partner next to him, and it was obvious that he was very excited about the business.

Half an hour later, the shop looked as if it had been ransacked, and there was nothing left but some waste paper. Originally, Li Huan didn't plan to ask for some of the handicrafts sold in the store, but the shopkeeper saw that Li Huan was bold, and he was also bold and gave them to Li Huan as an additive. According to the final statistics, there are about 200 handicrafts in this store, and Li Huan spent a total of 100,000 euros.

spent 100,000 euros, but Li Huan still felt unrelieved.

He pondered that if he took these two hundred or so pieces back and gave them away, he would definitely give them away, as if it was not enough, so he waved his hand and chartered several shops with the same style next door. All the handicrafts in these stalls add up to less than 200,000 euros.

This amount of money is nothing to Li Huan, but it is a large amount of income for these local stall owners, so these stall owners are extremely grateful to Li Huan for his generosity, but they don't know why this bold young man has been black-faced.

That's because after the crazy buying, buying, buying, Li Huan felt that he was still not relieved.

However, when an elderly shopkeeper commanded two guys to carry out a dark red "mermaid" from the back of his shop, Li Huan's eyes straightened.

The so-called "mermaid" is a shipwreck in the shape of a mermaid.

For example, in the Age of Sail, the most important image of a ship's bow was the image.

If you ask a sailor what is the most beautiful thing on board, he will not hesitate to tell you that it is a "shipwreck". Yes, as early as B.C., people have fixed totems and statues of gods on the bow of ships, hoping that the gods can bless the smooth sailing, in the minds of sailors, the bow image is the symbol of a boat, the soul of a ship, it is also the embodiment of the will to fight, and it is also the embodiment of love and beauty.

The bow of the ship seems to be a very famous thing in the history of navigation, there are many kinds of bow statues, generally animal images, god images, etc., it is a kind of object with blessings and symbols, just like the statues of gods enshrined at home (the actual effect is not much, almost entirely a decorative artwork, there is a kind of spiritual sustenance, similar to the pattern on the shield). If you have played games such as the Age of Discovery, you will have some intuitive understanding of the spiritual significance of the bow image to navigators and ships. Perhaps it is because of the totem worship that has existed since ancient times, when ancient navigators believed that the bow statue could bless ships and seafarers, intimidate demons or enemies in the sea, or bring good luck to themselves.

For example, the famous ghost ship "Black Pearl" in history, that is, the pirate ship of Captain Jack of the Caribbean Pirates, the bow of the ship is like a warm image of a goddess holding a small bird. Captain Jack's surname is Sparrow, which means sparrow, and this bow statue on the Black Pearl symbolizes that the gods protect Jack the bird. And Jack's nemesis, the Flying Dutchman with Octopusbeard, has the bow like the two pieces of teeth like a giant mouth, and this ship has to give people the feeling of being fierce and invincible, so the bow image should be terrifying.

The bow of this mermaid is about a person's height, and every part is vividly carved.

Judging by the degree of rust on the iron nails fixed behind the bow statue, it is likely that this thing was handed down from the Middle Ages. The imposing bow statue of Li Huan is ready to be placed at the entrance of the museum as a feature of his own museum.

Something like the bow of a ship, because most of it is wooden, cannot withstand the corrosion of time, so after the Middle Ages, there are not many that survive. So if it's a real ship's bow, even if it's not that super-large, it's extremely precious. The dark red "Mermaid Bow Portrait" has obviously been polished over the years, and the appearance is covered with pulp, and it is a good thing.

Even Fiona said again and again: "This is the real thing, if the owner opens a museum, he can buy it." ”

Nonsense, if it's a real thing, then of course Li Huan is willing to buy it, but when he packed it just now, he didn't take it out, which means that people don't want to sell it. However, Li Huan still leaned in and asked, "Old man, do you sell this thing?"

Before the other party could answer, one of the stall owners laughed: "This boss, the mermaid is Aideed's treasure, and he will not sell it anyway." We know that Aideed's ancestor was a navigator who was shipwrecked in a shipwreck, and he floated back with this shipwreck, so the shiphead statue has been kept in their home as a symbol of good luck. ”

"Oh, that's a shame. Li Huan sighed.

In the virtual screen, the two girls also sighed again and again, this is a real good thing, used to put it in a museum, and it is not out of class.

But who knew that the old stall owner hesitated: "Chinese, if you are willing to pay 300,000, I will give you this bow statue, what do you think?"

Li Huan was stunned for a moment, looked at the old stall owner suspiciously, and asked, "Isn't this a symbol of your family's luck, why are you willing to sell it to me?"

The old stall owner sighed: "My grandson needs a lot of money to study abroad, and I want him to go to a better university, but the tuition fee is too expensive, and we can't afford to go out, so I thought of selling this thing." You are so bold that I won't tell you that this shipwreck statue is more than 300 years old...... Maybe it will be longer, and this bow statue is carved out of precious sea willow wood, and it is no longer possible to find such a large sea willow wood, so this bow statue is even more precious. Three hundred thousand euros, would you like it?"

"Sea willow wood, no wonder it's this color. ”

Sea willow wood, also known as black coral, has a flexible texture, does not rot when flooded, and is named sea willow because its appearance is similar to a willow tree on land. The name of the sea willow can easily be misunderstood as a tree, but scientific research has shown that the sea willow is a marine animal, belonging to the coelenterate family, a species of the coral family. It grows on the submarine reef in the form of suction cup fastening, up to 5-6 meters high, because they hide on the bottom of the sea for life, and the lifespan can be as long as 1,000 years, so it is also known as the "sacred tree".

There are more than 10 varieties of sea willow, the color of sea willow is bright and pleasant, when it first comes out of the water, the small leaves on the branches are shining, the branches are elastic, and after a period of time out of the water, the branches become very hard. Because the sea willow is attached to the red, white, and yellow water ghost body when it comes out of the water, it can become red golden willow, tabby willow, golden silk willow, and stone willow after drying, among which the red sea willow is called red golden willow, and it is also the rarest.

And this mermaid prime minister is carved with red gold willow.

If this is Hailiu, then Li Huan feels that 300,000 euros is not a high price, and it is even picking up leaks!

The growth of sea willow is extremely slow, it is not a big "daughter", scientists have confirmed that it only grows 2 mm tall every year, and it takes at least 400 years for a sea willow to grow into 1 meter high.

Now good wood is hard to find in the market, for example, a small piece of agarwood can be sold for tens of thousands, and sea willow wood is definitely not worse than agarwood. On top of that, the real bow statue is hard to see nowadays, and it is better to buy it back and put it as a decoration.

Thinking of this, Li Huan stroked the bow statue, and subconsciously scanned it with his spiritual power, but he was stunned on the spot after scanning it.

Looking at Li Huan's expression, the old stall owner was a little disappointed: "What, do you think it's expensive and don't plan to buy it?"

The bow statue turned out to be empty, and there was a lot of content in the hollow interior!

However, this hollow part is not pre-processed, and judging by the clumsy digging method, it is likely that it was rushed out in a hurry.

In the hollow bow of the ship, there are several red sapphires of fifty or sixty carats, several colorless diamonds and a pink diamond, and there is also a pattern sealed in a cylinder with fire paint, I don't know what it is. Li Huan's heart moved, the ancestor of the ship's bow statue seller was a navigator, and after the shipwreck, he drifted back with the ship's bow statue, and the things in the bow statue were hidden by him?

Jewel Li Huan didn't care, in the cylinder sealed by fire paint, what was that pattern?

Obviously, this "hollow" is different from the "hollow" in the rockery, and the content in this hollow is at least not a deceptive trick of gangsters. And even if everything inside is deceiving, just this bow statue is worth the ticket price, why don't you buy it, a fool won't buy it!

Li Huan thought of this, and immediately said: "Of course, I would be happy to buy it, sorry I was distracted just now...... Three hundred thousand euros, no problem, would you rather ask for a check or cash?"

Hearing Li Huan say this, the old stall owner had a smile on his face, he asked for a check, and Li Huan found the Bank of Lisbon and exchanged a check with a bank card for cross-border payment, and the transaction between the two parties was completed.

After spending 300,000 euros to buy the ship's bow statue, Li Huan was not interested in continuing to shop. What is hidden in the bow image is indeed too seductive. Don't look at Li Huan's net worth now, but the excitement of discovering the unknown cannot be replaced by anything.

Li Huan found a small car, pretended to transport everything to the best local hotel in Lisbon, and asked for a presidential suite without saying a word. Then he asked the lobby manager to have everything moved to his room, and after tipping each of them a hundred euros, the waiter smiled toothlessly.

Back in the room, Li Huan first swept everything into the virtual space.

Fortunately, I vacated the virtual space when I was at home, otherwise it would be really difficult to get it. After picking up everything, Li Huan began to look at the bow statue.

Through Li Huan's real-time transmission of images, at Shancheng's house, Chen Xue and Fiona saw that Li Huan attached so much importance to a ship's bow statue, and they also looked at him curiously, what did they want to do.

"Brother Huan, isn't it very valuable?" Chen Xue asked curiously.

"You can see that? This is sea willow wood, and wood alone is more than that. Li Huan laughed.

However, Fiona was clearly more professional: "Master, did you find anything on it?"

"Hmm...... There's a secret hidden in this thing. Li Huan found a small knife and knocked on the bow of the ship, and sure enough, there was a hollow "doo" sound at the prime minister's head. It's just that the surface that has been opened is very perfectly sealed, and the outer layer has been coated with slurry, and there is no crack at all.

However, under the investigation of Li Huan's spiritual power, this bow statue has no secrets at all. Because its value is not low, and it is also a rare thing, Li Huan didn't want to destroy it by violent means, so he had to slowly infiltrate the aura in the hollow position, and used a small aura impact, only to hear a soft sound of "wave", and a small opening was made in the neck of the mermaid's bow statue.

"Wow, it's really opened!Brother Huan, you're so amazing, how can you see it!" Chen Xue exclaimed.

"You little girl, I asked you to cultivate your spiritual power, I'm afraid you didn't listen to it, right?" Li Huan took the opportunity to count: "Now that you are no longer a mortal, spiritual power and aura can do a lot of things." It just so happens that Fiona is a master in this area, and you ask Fiona to teach you how to use mental power. ”

"Oh......" Chen Xue replied sullenly, in fact, she didn't like cultivation very much, but this was Li Huan's request, and Chen Xue had no choice but to agree, saying that she would ask Fiona for advice on how to cultivate her spirit in her spare time, and she wouldn't be lazy in the future.

Li Huan nodded with satisfaction, but he forgot one thing, Fiona is a vampire, and she is indeed a master of spiritual power, but the problem is that the spiritual power cultivated by vampires is the kind with charm, which is not expected by Li Huan...... Based on Li Huan's imagination, he couldn't imagine how terrifying Chen Xue was after cultivating spiritual power according to Fiona.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

After opening the lid on the mermaid's neck, Li Huan poured out all the contents inside. Suddenly, several gems gurgled out first.

"Wow...... It's so beautiful!" Chen Xue sighed.

"Well, the master is not losing money in this business, and one of them alone has exceeded 300,000 euros. Fiona agreed.

There are eight gems hidden in the bow statue, the smallest being about the size of a little finger and the largest being larger than a quail egg. The most important thing is that although these gemstones have not been polished, they are absolutely superb in terms of color and purity, and once they are cut, they are absolutely in good condition.

The blue sapphire blue with purple tinges is the purest "cornflower blue", like velvet. The rubies are bright and dazzling, like the blood of a pigeon flowing on a white paper, which makes people's blood boil. Li Huan has seen a lot, but he doesn't care so much, what he cares about is that the thing in the copper pipe sealed with fire paint is the same as the copper pipe sealing technique that Li Huan found on the wreck of Bellamy.

Whatever is in this brass pipe, it must be a real thing.

This was a unique technique of navigators of that period.

Li Huan calmed down, crushed the fire paint, shook the copper pipe, and gently poured it outward, and sure enough, a sheepskin that had been beaten very thin and rolled into a hand-rolled fell out of the copper pipe.

"Master, good thing!" Fiona was the first to call out.

"Brother Huan, open it and take a look!" Chen Xue's eyes also widened.

In medieval seafaring cultures, parchment scrolls were often associated directly with mysterious treasures. Whether it's the legendary wealth of pirates or the treasures left behind by other civilizations, one or more parchment scrolls will always appear before they are made public...... Well, this has already formed a routine, and as for why there is such a routine, Li Huan is not very clear.

Anyway, it's a good thing to have a parchment roll!

The sheepskin is firmly protected by fire paint and brass pipes, and is placed in the bow statue, so it has retained its good resilience even after all these years. Li Huan gently opened the sheepskin, and suddenly, a nautical chart outlined in black ink appeared in front of his eyes.

"This is ......" Fiona recognized at a glance: "This is the military chart of the Royal Portuguese Navy in the 16th century!"

Fiona is an expert in this area, and she says yes, then it is for sure.

The so-called military charts are very different from civilian charts.

There are many medieval nautical charts circulating on the Internet, and most of those nautical charts are very "abstract", except for the appearance of the continent and the appearance of the decent, what coastline, what fjord, what ocean current, all do not exist. encountered creative ones, and also drew a few monsters on the chart, which once caused netizens to laugh.

But this parchment scroll is extremely finely drawn.

Not only is the scenery of the mainland coast vividly depicted, but the magnified terrain is also specially marked in the place where the underwater reef is reborn. Whether it is the labeling of ocean currents, or the labeling of reefs and hurricane belts, it is almost indistinguishable from modern nautical charts.

"No wonder Portugal dominated the seas in those days, and there were such detailed nautical charts, and a bun was inserted in the steering wheel, and a dog could bite it with its mouth, and it could also sail the ship to the New World. Li Huan sighed.

However, Li Huan also found something strange about this nautical chart.

On nautical charts, all the graphic continents, reefs, hurricane belts, ocean currents, and the like are drawn with single lines, but there is only one area that is painted with solid ink. Compare this smeared place with modern charts, isn't this place where the Azores are located?

But why is there a piece of the map blacked out?
