Of course, it's a little too early to talk about that.
Chen Rui's study.
The bookshelves, desks, chairs, pen holders, pen holders, etc. on the desks are all made of very precious mahogany.
On the book table, there was a diary, the paper was a little yellowed and worn, and it looked like it was very old.
It was obtained from a diary written in Spanish script in a small chest in a pirate treasure, along with the diary, along with the Spanish noble badge.
Chen Rui didn't know Spanish, so he had to translate his diary with the help of online translation software.
It took a day to finally translate the diary into Chinese characters.
Open the translation of the diary.
The diary was written by a mid-17th-century man named Fred. Spanish explorer of Saldoga.
He wrote in his diary.
"On February 4, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, in order to find a new gold source on the South American continent, I led an expedition of 25 men from Ecuador on the Pacific coast."
"On April 7, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, after more than two months of climbing, we crossed the majestic Andes Mountains and reached the vicinity of the Napo River, where we lost three men due to disease and the attack of poisonous snakes."
"On April 12, 1647 AH we set up camp on the banks of the Napo River, and after a week's rest, the party was back on the road and went downstream along the banks of the Napo."
"On April 21, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, the situation was very bad, and most of the area on both sides of the Napo River was marshy land, and behind the swamp was a reckless and dangerous rainforest, uninhabited, only frequented by ferocious wild animals. We were starving, many people contracted yellow fever, people began to die in large numbers, and the morale of the ranks was very low. ”
"On May 1, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we sailed downstream along the Napo River in a two-masted schooner built there."
Chen Rui turned the next page and continued to read.
"On November 1, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, there were only 12 of us left, we were lost in the Amazon rainforest, we were looking for the way to the river, I firmly believe that the river would lead us to the sea, that we would be saved, an unbearable and irresistible calamity - mosquitoes and the humid environment of the rainforest, which often tormented us."
"On the 5th of November, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we were lost in a valley, and oh my God, what did we find, a city, and all the palaces and temples in the city, adorned with a great deal of gold and silver, and so splendid and splendid that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures, a wealth so great that it is difficult to describe in any words.
Due to the large number of treasures, there were only 12 people left in our team, and we only brought a small part of the treasures.
Still, it was a great asset, and I marked the location of it in my diary in order to be able to find it again in the future. ”
"On November 7, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we left the Valley of Treasure with the gold and silver treasures."
"On November 11, 1647 in the Gregorian calendar, we rediscovered the Marañon River, which flowed down the Marañón River, and at the mouth of the Marañón River, a much larger river appeared before our eyes.
I knew that it was the Amazon River, and I ordered to go at full speed towards the lower reaches of this great river, and the time passed day by day, week by week, and finally, we saw the ocean, and the day we reached the ocean was January 24, 1648 in the Gregorian calendar, and I will never forget this day of hope.
From Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean to seeing the Atlantic Ocean, and walking through the Amazon rainforest for more than a year, it was a nightmare that I never dared to think about it again. ”
"On January 28, 1648 in the Gregorian calendar, we built a larger sailing ship and sailed to the sea laden with gold and silver treasures, damn it, we ran into pirate !!。"
The diary is no longer written here, Chen Rui already knows about Fred. Saldoga's end.
Fred. Saldoga's diary fell into the hands of an English pirate who did not know Spanish and missed a great treasure.
Fred. Saldoga's diary was kept in a small chest with his noble coat of arms, and the pirate's treasure was buried on the island of Tortuga.
Now, the diary is in Chen Rui's hands.
The last page of the diary draws a map.
On the map, a meandering Marañón River is drawn, and about 2 cm on the map on the left bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Marañón River, an 'x' is marked to indicate that this is the location of the Treasure Valley, and some symbols such as mountains, rivers, valleys, and swamps are used to describe the environment around the Treasure Valley.
Chen Rui could not find out what the distance of 2 centimeters from the lower left bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Marañón River marked on the map was, and it could be tens of kilometers or more than 100 kilometers.
However, it took four days from leaving the Valley of the Treasure on November 7 to arriving at the mouth of the Marañón River on November 11.
It is speculated that this distance is between tens of kilometers and 100 kilometers, and will not exceed 100 kilometers.
Even so, it is very difficult to go to the Amazon jungle to find the Treasure Valley with this simple map.
This time to help Carlson. Harry knocked on the door and walked over and said to Chen Rui, "Mr. Chen, Earl Hill's things have been delivered." ”
"Okay, got it."
Chen Rui put away the diary and the translation of the diary, put it in a drawer, and walked out of the room.
There were two boxes outside.
Earl Hill stood by.
"Thank you very much, Lord Hill." Chen Rui said.
"Let's open the box and take a look."
Chen Rui nodded, opened the box, and it was the head of the sheep.
The appearance of the sheep's head is dark in color, and the inside contains fine light, realistic style modeling.
The casters are very fine, and the subtleties such as the folds and fluff on the sheep's head are clear and realistic.
Open another chest, and it's the head of a snake.
Chen Rui put the two zodiac beast heads in the treasure house, along with the pre-Qin scripts in the thatched hut of the pregnant sea pearl space.
The treasure house is very secure, and it can only be opened through three conditions: Guò Chen Rui's fingerprint, pupil, and dozens of digits of encryption password.
The next day, Professor Yang found Chen Rui.
"Xiao Rui, I heard that the bronze statue of the head of the 12 zodiac animals, the head of the sheep and the head of the snake are in your hands."
The head of the sheep and the head of the snake are in their own hands, and they must not be able to hide from some people.
Besides, Chen Rui didn't want to hide it from anyone, but Chen Rui was very curious that Earl Hill only sent the bronze statue of the beast head yesterday afternoon, and Professor Yang knew about it today.
