Chapter 140: Wealth Requires Danger
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This pie-in-the-sky good, or conversely, a scam carried out by means of intimidation, has played countless old-fashioned tricks in the old-world telecommunications industry, such as "congratulations on winning the lottery" and "the last notice from the prosecutor's office". It is conceivable that as a traverser, if you don't even have the basic vigilance needed to survive in modern society, you must have been killed by the university of society many times before crossing over.
Squinting his eyes to hide the change in his eyes, Luo Zhengdao did not doubt the authenticity of this treasure map, but he was not worried about the other party's true intention to invite him to participate.
At this time, looking up and down at Gaode Needham with a stern expression, Luo Zhengdao's expression was a little subtle and said:
"Your Excellency Gao De, you have a treasure map, why don't you go and find the treasure yourself, what are you doing on Wake Reef to find me?"
Hearing Luo Zhengdao's rhetorical question, Gao De laughed heartily, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said:
"The power I have in my hands may not be enough, and others cannot be trusted, His Excellency the Earl is the most reliable and suitable partner I can think of."
Just a few beautiful words and don't need capital, anyone can say it all over the place, Luo Zhengdao was not so easy to be fooled, and said slowly:
"Treasure hunting is not a war, what does it have to do with strength?"
"Of course it is, please take a look."
As he spoke, Gaode Needham spread out a parchment map on the top of his desk, Luo Zhengdao looked down and said:
"It's hiding here!"
Seeing this, Gao De, who was as strong as a grizzly bear, smiled and said:
"Yes, Your Excellency. This treasure hunt is extremely arduous and can be extremely dangerous. I need a strong and trustworthy helper to ensure success, so please don't doubt my cooperation. ”
The traverser emperor who single-handedly founded the Guangming Dynasty can be said to have completely inherited the glorious tradition of the ancient Chinese Dynasty not paying attention to the sea frontier, and drove all the human nobles of all sizes to the periphery of the main 6 through guò land and other means, preferring to rule the relatively barren inner 6 region by himself, and had to face those unruly alien tribes all day long. Of course, the treasure buried by this traverser emperor will not be left near the coastline that does not belong to his own ruling area, and this burial place is in the inner 6 region of the main 6.
The map presented by Shicai Gaode also verified Luo Zhengdao's conjecture, and the treasure marked in red was at the confluence of two rivers, and according to the information, it was shown as a lone peak standing on the great plain. The place where the treasure is buried is about 3oo miles away from the mouth of the sea, and the actual voyage must be a lot more, after all, it is impossible for the river to flow in a straight line.
After the destruction of the Invincible Armada, the Second Goblin Empire sent a large number of puppet troops to forcibly relocate the residents within 5o miles of the coastline, destroying all the houses, farmland, and infrastructure. They then went on to fortify the estuary, which was a terrible trap for fire, if not an impregnable one. If you want to break through the dense firepower of the estuary fortress under the blockade of the Second Goblin Empire, go deep 6 hundred miles to find the treasure, and then use a limited time to dig out the treasure and return the way from under the noses of the angry goblin defenders, the risk factor of this plan is tantamount to performing a tightrope walk on the top of the crocodile pond without a safety rope, which is an obvious rhythm of death!
After listening to the detailed introduction of Gaude Needham, Luo Zhengdao, who has always boasted of his boldness, had to admit that this plan sounded crazy, and as long as he was not a real madman, he would hesitate again and again before accepting this plan.
"Your Excellency Gaode, are you serious?"
Sitting on the sand with his fingers crossed, Luo Zhengdao's tightly knit brows at the moment proved that his mood was not easy. Seeing this, Gaud Nydham, who laughed out loud, said very wittily:
"I don't have a habit of joking with people except when I tell the ladies I want them not to be too rude."
Listening to this slightly erotic vulgar joke, Luo Zhengdao smiled knowingly and said:
"Do you think it's worth taking such a big risk to find the treasure?"
"Your Excellency, I believe that we have a unanimous judgment and consensus on the current form, there is no other way out, others can give up, you and I can't, because we are the descendants of the Emperor of Light, and the Goblin Empire will not compromise with us. If we don't become stronger, our friends will become enemies, and they will cut off our heads and give them to the goblins for credit. ”
Everyone said this, there is no need to hide it, Luo Zhengdao completely knows why Gao De Needham has so many pirate forces not looking for him, and he has to go all the way to find his head, because Luo Zhengdao can't betray Gao De, unless he is tired of life, or he is brainless.
As we all know, the Second Goblin Empire is determined to kill the descendants of the Emperor of Light as soon as possible, and whoever betrays Gaode Needham may get benefits, but Luo Zhengdao can't get even a little benefit from betraying him. Not to mention anything else, both of them are from the same noble background of the Bright Dynasty. Jing, the goblin is about to kill the killer when he sees each other, so it is not uncommon for other pirates to do such a thing as fighting against the water, as long as Luo Zhengdao has not been caught in the door panel of his brain, or has been kicked by a donkey, he can't be so stupid.
After figuring out the sufficient reason for Gao De to find himself to join the gang, Luo Zhengdao could say anything at this time, and replied with a wry smile:
“…… Although the reason is not pleasant, Your Excellency is right, for you and I have the same identity. Jing can be relied on. ”
Gaode Needham, who has a resolute and calm personality, had no intention of feeling sorry for himself with Luo Zhengdao, so he quickly changed the topic back to business and said:
"So in this operation, sixty percent of all the loot goes to me, and forty percent goes to you, is there a problem?"
The treasure map was provided by the other party, and the action was originally started by the other party, Luo Zhengdao didn't feel that he would suffer a loss if he got a little less, and after thinking about the pros and cons of gains and losses, he nodded and said:
"Yes, when will we start?"
"I can't finalize the time at the moment, I will wait for the results of the reconnaissance to come out before making a decision, if there is further news, I will send someone to inform His Excellency the Earl as soon as possible, and I will not disturb it today."
"Well, I will wait for the good news from His Excellency Gao De."
As the saying goes, there are a thousand days of thieves in the world, and there is no one who has a thousand days to prevent thieves. Even tigers inevitably have naps, goblins are known for their discipline and organization, and they dare not guarantee that their blockade line will not be able to pass through even a trace of wind, not to mention that no matter how tightly the layout of the defensive blockade has been going on for a long time, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will figure out the loopholes. Of course, it is one thing whether the Second Goblin Empire was negligent or not, and the key factor that ultimately determines the success or failure lies in the strength of the participants, and the opportunity is only given to those who are prepared, which is an indisputable fact
"Set sail, set sail!"
In the strong sea breeze blowing the flag and hula, he casually tightened the neckline of the woolen coat, and the stereotypical expression on Luo Zhengdao's face at this time made it impossible to see whether it was joy or sorrow, this treasure hunt was destined to be a business with his head out.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, which is not true, but if you stuff your braincase into the tiger's mouth, you have to experience a degree and passion or something, and everyone will feel that there is no place in the heart. Fortunately, although this guy has not changed his arrogant and arrogant nature, at least his ability and talent are worthy of this pride, how to say that he is also a more reliable person, and he agreed with Luo Zhengdao that he would be fully prepared before he started, so he must have something to rely on. Letting go of his worries and fears about the unknown future, Luo Zhengdao set off from Wake Reef to the meeting point after receiving the news from the collaborator's messenger.
After the start of this voyage, Luo Zhengdao, who returned to the captain's room, slowly drank rum while secretly thinking about the pros and cons of this trip, until sleepiness hit, he freed himself from this entanglement.
"Your Excellency Gaode, relying on our current strength, we are not enough to tear the goblins' blockade from the front, right?"
met at the agreed place, Luo Zhengdao was not polite to Gao De, he bluntly said his worries and uneasiness, even if the pirates under the two of them combined, there are more than 50 ships with large and small ones, and the total number of battleships that can be on the table is only thirteen, and Luo Zhengdao has recently repaired three large sail oars warships captured from the goblins, the endurance of this thing is very sad, and the effect of using it in the inland water environment is quite reasonable, these battleships are the basis of force that the two exiled nobles can rely on.
"The goblin's garrison is very strong, and it is not impossible to storm it, but the cost will be very large."
Hearing Gao De say this, talking to this partner of equal status to himself, Luo Zhengdao didn't need to hide his worries too much, he frowned and said:
"And what are you going to do?"
Spreading out the map casually, Gaud Needham pointed to the irregular color blocks that distinguish different forces on it, like dogs' teeth, and said calmly:
"I've got in touch with the orc tribes in the Atayal River Valley, they will send troops to attack the goblin garrison, echoing our offensive actions, and the goblins will adopt a conservative strategy if they can't figure out the situation, and we should have enough time to do so."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded slightly, and then he looked at Gao De and asked in confusion:
"I remember that orcs don't have a good relationship with humans?"
Recently, in order to improve his personal image, he deliberately grew two mustaches, and Gaude Needham's appearance looks much more mature and stable, and he said with a smile:
"Hehe, that's a grudge from the past, now the main 6 is decided by the goblin empire, no one likes to have a group of villains hiding in their yard to wander around, speaking of the current relationship between the two of them, it's twice as bad as our old grudge with the orcs!"
