Chapter 023: Stephanie's Invitation
Clearly, Stephanie has inherited the adventurous DNA as well.
"The description on this bone shard, although very similar to the legend about Captain Manas, but from the items we salvaged, you should know that it was a ship from East Asia, not the Manas that your father had been looking for. ”
Mike thought about it for a moment, but said that although he didn't want to disappoint Stephanie, it was the case.
The legend of Captain Manas originated in the Netherlands, but Manas himself was not Dutch, and it is impossible to verify where he was now, and the legend of the golden ship related to Captain Manas is because it is said that Captain Manas discovered the largest trace of a golden ship that disappeared in Spain.
Captain Manas left for the last time in search of the Golden Ship and never returned, and no one knows if he had found the legendary Golden Ship.
But his route has left a lot of clues, it is said that some people have seen the Manas at the Cape of Good Hope, and some people say that they have seen it in the Caribbean, anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Many treasure hunters today are obsessed with the legend of Captain Manas.
Because the relics of Captain Manas's shipwreck have been found, then it is likely that there will be clues to the mysterious disappearance of the Spanish gold ship.
In the hundreds of years after Columbus discovered the American continent, the Netherlands, Spain, England, ...... Countless European fleets plundered immeasurable gold, silver and jewelry, which also caused countless ships full of gold and silver jewels to sink under the stormy waves.
In addition, the plundering of East Asia and South Asia has also caused a huge amount of heavy treasure remains, which are quite difficult to find, and the sediment of the ocean currents is buried and difficult to find. Compared with the vastness of the ocean, millions of shipwrecks are just a drop in the ocean.
So looking for these shipwreck treasures is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But it's also the fun of treasure hunting, which attracts countless treasure hunters.
Stephanie's father is such a treasure hunt obsessive, and Stephanie is also obsessed with it, which is why after losing the salvaged treasure, she quickly shifts her attention to the next clue.
The bone fragment in her hand was carved with strange lines, like a map.
On the reverse side of the bone fragment is engraved a line in Dutch: I wrote it down, I wrote down that piece of gold.
This sentence, especially the Dutch, made Stephanie sure that this was what Captain Manas had left behind.
Stephanie gently caressed the bone fragment with one hand, as if caressing a lover, her eyes were full of hope, full of an inexplicable yearning.
"Uncle Mike, let's go back to Mauritius first, send those Chinese ashore, fix them, and also, I decided to ask Mr. Lin to help, he is very powerful, knows the mysterious Chinese martial arts, can help us deal with those pirates." ”
"Mauritius? You want to go to old Pete, right?"
Mike didn't pay attention to Stephanie's invitation to Lin Feng to join, but instantly guessed Stephanie's thoughts.
"Oh, Uncle Mike, you've always been so smart. ”
Stephanie got up, and with that, she hugged Mike and kissed him on the face, and then left with a smile.
"Kid, get old Mike a glass of rum!"
"No, you can't drink ...... right now"
The next day, Stephanie brought food early in the morning, and by the way, she checked Lin Feng, and saw that he had a ruddy complexion, was in good spirits, and did not have a fever, so she left with confidence.
After the meal, Xiong Yuansong picked up the satellite phone sent by Stephanie and began to contact China, during which Gu Ming also made a call.
After knowing the specific location, everyone sighed, but did not expect that it was not far from Mauritius, although it was not far, but the ship would sail for two days, Xiong Yuansong's company had contacted the Chinese embassy in Mauritius.
Since all of them had lost their documents, they had to be present at the embassy, otherwise they would not be able to land in Mauritius or leave Mauritius by plane.
At noon, Stephanie invited Lin Feng to speak alone, and Lin Feng secretly said in his heart, sure enough, he was not wrong last night, Stephanie had something to do with him.
On the top floor of the ship, the luxurious room that Lin Feng had seen, Stephanie invited Lin Feng to sit down, poured a glass of red wine, and brought it over.
Lin Feng didn't like this thing very much, but it was hard to refuse at the moment, sitting on the wide sofa, surrounded by transparent windows, the entire sea surface could be seen clearly.
Lin Feng likes this feeling very much, and he really enjoys it.
"This room is well designed, very beautiful!" Lin Feng praised from the bottom of his heart.
Stephanie smiled and said, "This was designed by my father, and he left this ship to me." ”
Frowning slightly, what do you mean?
Lin Feng felt that if he had heard correctly, was Stephanie's father gone?
Isn't that white-haired, bearded old man her father?
Unsure, Lin Feng, who is not very proficient in English, wisely chose to change the topic.
"Alright, Stephanie, I like to be direct, I want you to come to me, not only to thank me, but also to show me the sea!"
Stephanie glanced at Lin Feng with interest, and then smiled lightly: "Lin, I like your character, they all say that Chinese speak implicitly, but you give me a different feeling."
That's right, I want to ask you to go on a treasure hunt together, you know, we treasure hunters, it's easy to be targeted by those pirates, you're very skilled, very powerful. ”
No way!
You're looking for me to be your bodyguard!
Lin Feng touched his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Stephanie, my situation is a little special, plus a passport and visa or something, it's very troublesome, I don't understand it very well, besides, do you have any exact treasure clues, you can't blindly run around!"
Seemingly trusting Lin Feng very much, Stephanie casually took out the bone piece and handed it over.
"This is the clue, the Spanish Golden Ship, said to be the largest gold ship, returned from the Gulf of Mexico in the sixteenth century with a shipload full of gold jewels, but did not return to Spain and mysteriously disappeared. ”
picked up the bone fragment and looked at it over and over again, Lin Feng was confused, a special headless legend, these people really took it seriously.
To be honest, Lin Feng really didn't want to follow Stephanie to hunt for treasures, and if he had this time, he might as well go to Madagascar and South Africa, where there was a huge amount of gems and gold, and the ability he possessed could be said to be difficult to get rich.
"That's just a legend, in the sixteenth century, how many years has it been, and even if the big ship is real, it has long been covered by mud and coral, where can I find it?"
Lin Feng raised the bone fragment again, "Also, what is this?Treasure map?How can a shipwreck have a treasure map?Is that a pirate!"
Stephanie was a little speechless, she didn't know what to say about Lin Feng's ignorance, but she didn't need Lin Feng's professionalism, she just needed a powerful thug.
"Okay!Lin, don't refuse, think about it, and give me an answer when you get to Port Louis, I sincerely hope to get your help, because you are a warrior. ”
Stephanie no longer explained the origin of the bone fragments and the legends about Manas, yes, she found Lin Feng to be a very pragmatic person, even if she explained more, it was useless, because they were all legends.
Next, the two no longer talked about treasure hunting, but simply chatted, during which Lin Feng also learned some about Stephanie, and also knew that the white-haired and bearded old man was Stephanie's uncle.
