Chapter 114 [Pirate Parchment Scroll]

"This rusty knife is worthless in my hand, and the reason why I really wonder and am willing to pay for it is on this knife cover!"

Chen Ergou carefully stroked the leather of the knife sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "...... It's not the right skin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The audience in the live broadcast room was curious, and crackled with a question mark.

"It is often said: a good horse with a good saddle, a good knife with a good set. A knife and a knife holder, the specially customized knives in the pirate era are all handmade, and they should be more rigorous. Don't you think the handle of this knife doesn't match the color of the case?"

"And this scabbard is made of sheepskin leather, and the sheepskin is so soft that it is not suitable for making knife sleeves, or such a sharp scimitar. ā€

Chen Ergou became interested, regardless of the occasion. I found a secluded place, took out the knife and began to remove the stitches of the knife cover.

After disassembling the leather on the outside and a few old-fashioned rivets on the binding, there is a protective leather inside, which is non-slip and anti-friction. However, the leather inside is not cut and sewn, but folded and applied. It was weird to the touch, thick on the surface, so it was no wonder he thought it was an eyesore at first glance.

The leather on the inside of the sleeve was stained with rust and should have not been cleaned in years. Fortunately, the folded side of the inner layer is well protected and there is not much damage. He spread it out vigorously, revealing a patch of soft sheepskin within. Spread out, suddenly there was a large roll of sheepskin.

After careful confirmation, he smiled and said to the camera, "That's right, it's a parchment roll." ā€

"Parchment is known to be a material for making books or providing for writing. It is not only made of lambskin, but sometimes also calfskin. Around 170 BC, King Pergamum, Eumenes II, was the first to use parchment. Sheepskin was lime-treated, wool sheared, and then softened with pumice stone to become this new writing material. These parchments were bound into pamphlets, called manuscripts, and then bound into a book, so that they became parchment books for future generations. ā€

Since then, the manuscript has been written on parchment. ā€

"The reason why parchment gradually replaced papyrus was that it could be written on both sides, the rougher side was not usually used to write words, it helped to prevent ink from penetrating the paper, and medieval Europeans used quill pens. Because of the special material of parchment, it can make the writing of the quill pen present a full color, and it is no problem to fold it into a book. ā€

"Legend has it that the Bible was written in parchment scrolls, and there are many pirate legends about parchment scrolls. If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a legendary pirate parchment map. But the drawing style is a medieval nautical chart, and I can't see where it is for a while. ā€

The audience who is still in the live broadcast room is boiling, but they didn't expect to be surprised by the end.

In the antique world, it has always been rumored that there are people who have made a fortune by picking up leaks, and most of them have heard of it, but they didn't expect it to happen in front of them. The most critical ...... It turned out to be a parchment map left by pirates.

So here's the question:

What did the pirates go to great lengths to hide in the shape of a knife sleeve map?

Was the map of the parchment scroll a pirate treasure map, or a nautical chart? After all, the nautical charts of hidden routes were also precious at that time.

If it is a treasure, then has this treasure been discovered, will it end up in vain?

All kinds of questions came to mind, which really made people's hearts itch, and then they asked crazy questions on the barrage, and most of them said that they wanted to look at the map. "It's still not brothers, it's blessed to share, and if you dig up the treasure, you have to meet and share half of it. ā€

When it comes to pirate treasures, especially in the eyes of historians and adventurers, it's a mystery. It is really said that it is a god-like existence, which is what they have dreamed of all their lives, but in the eyes of ordinary people, many people think that these legendary treasures, including the huge gold left by pirates, are a bit ethereal and just legends.

But in the eyes of these historians and adventurers, these things are not groundless.

Through their own investigations, they believe that many things are real, and some of their opinions are confirmed in reality. There are indeed many legendary treasures, and they are just for those explorers to find.

A casual search on the web reveals that there are many examples of explorers making a fortune by unearthing treasures, but the process is often long, and decades are common. They will eventually find the treasure through perseverance and perseverance, and of course luck is more important.

Chen Ergou did not show the map drawn on the parchment scroll in front of the camera, even if the map was very rudimentary.

At first, he was also very excited, but after realizing that he couldn't understand it, he gradually calmed down, shook his head and said, "Don't take it for granted. Maybe it's just a handy chart. I don't know much about what it is. …… No, I'll have to go back and talk to my good friend Roma, maybe I'll be able to get more information. ā€

The audience was almost drunk, "Just now you looked like you were ignoring people, but now you call people good friends, you can change your face faster than a storyteller." ā€

smiled: "Thank you for spending a day with me today." It's getting late in the country, so let's rest early. This is the end of my trip to Casablanca, Morocco, and if nothing else, I will take tomorrow's flight back home. Your gifts will also be sent out in time after returning to China, please pay attention to the courier in recent days. ā€

The live broadcast room was full of people shouting unwillingly, "Don't turn off the broadcast, what are we going to see the map?", "What a nasty feeling, I was going to turn off the broadcast and sleep just now, and now I don't want to sleep at all." ", "Good night, good night, tell us in time if you have any new news." "Master Dog, when will the next broadcast start?", "Don't make us wait too long. ā€ā€¦ā€¦

Chen Ergou smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, thank you for your concern." You can follow my Weibo and live broadcast room, and the next broadcast will be notified in advance. Good night, everyone. ā€

After closing the live broadcast room, he carefully wrapped the parchment roll and ran back to greet his good friend Rohm, a bankrupt Belgian businessman.

As for the interesting things that happened during this period, except that the dog is still faithfully recorded, outsiders don't know.

……

The next day, take a direct flight from Casablanca to the magic capital on a Qatari flight.

He has a lot of things to bring, and it takes a little effort at most to pack large and small bags. Unexpectedly, the bird egg almost made him unable to pass the test.

If he hadn't just carried one, he would have been arrested on suspicion of smuggling birds' eggs.

Fortunately, after explaining clearly, Moroccan customs did not make it difficult for him. This kind of thing happens a lot here. Some visitors who pick up ostrich eggs can't help but want to take them home as souvenirs. Although such large eggs are rare, they are not uncommon.

First of all, you have to go to the customs to declare the inspection and quarantine of animals and plants, and after returning to China, you will have to go through another inspection and quarantine, and then you may not be able to take it home directly, and you will see if you need a period of isolation and observation according to the actual situation.

Even if all the procedures are in accordance with the laws and regulations, you may not know where the slightest problem is and the work will be lost!

For this egg, he really worked hard and hard. Occasionally, I thought about it, so I just threw it in the trash. Fortunately, the third uncle persuaded him: so many procedures have been completed, and it would be a waste for you to throw them away now. In this way, this ill-fated bird's egg was saved.

Morocco is visa-free for Chinese passports, and it is very convenient to enter and exit, which finally saves a lot of effort.

The flight took off from the blue waters of the Sinai Peninsula, crossed the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, passed through Egypt's Mediterranean coastal cities, lasted about 8 hours, and arrived at Pudong International Airport at 1 p.m. domestic time.

Wearing a plain jacket and T-shirt, he walked out of the airport pushing a suitcase, but he didn't expect someone to recognize him as soon as he came out.

"Dog?!"

This earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods alarmed half of the people in the terminal.
