Ninety-three. Three-bite box
This is supposed to be a shipwreck from the mid-seventeenth century.
How did it sink? Ship breakdown? Attacked by the enemy? Or did you encounter a king squid like Lao Hei? I am afraid that no one will be able to answer these questions anymore.
The space in the wreck is very large. Slave Detention Quarters, Crew Lounges...... When Ai Xiaohai passed by these places, he seemed to see such a scene:
The crew got drunk in the lounge, and then sang the sailor's song, and went out to the deck drunk, cursing loudly at the slaves they had plundered, and talking about where they should go to live a good life when they returned home.
Madrid, London, maybe Rotterdam or some other city, where the girls always get the warmest hospitality as long as you have money in your pocket.
But just when they were elated, they suddenly encountered an attack, which could be an enemy warship from the sea, or a deep sea monster from the bottom of the sea, in short, they were caught off guard and had no room to fight back, and the battleship sank.
Then, it lay quietly at the bottom of the sea, until an uninvited guest appeared......
The front should be a storage room from the outside, Ai Xiaohai swam in, and the group of candlelight fish was always by his side.
Real shells, powder kegs...... Here is an arms storage warehouse, there is nothing of value...... The second storage room, inside is a series of wine barrels, the outside of which has long since rotted. Now, of course, it's no longer wine, it's seawater...... In the seventeenth century, when the crew did not mutiny on long seafaring journeys, wine was always the best weapon. As long as there is no alcohol for three days, it is difficult to say whether the captain's life will be saved.
It's a pity that Ai Xiaohai doesn't care about any of this.
The two storerooms in a row did not achieve anything, which greatly disappointed Ai Xiaohai. Maybe in the hundreds of years, the sea has washed away everything valuable......
He swam into another room. The interior is so furnished that you can barely recognize that this is the captain's room.
What is that? Ai Xiaohai's eyes suddenly lit up...... Three boxes, quietly waiting for the discovery of humans......
Ai Xiaohai didn't open it immediately, God knows what it contains, and what will happen under the influence of sea water when it is opened? He pulled up a box with one hand, found that although the box was not big, it was a little heavy to start with, and dragged it out of the wreck, put down the two boxes, and drilled back again, bringing out the third box.
Strangely, the third box seemed to be empty, very light.
Lao Hei has recovered a lot, and this time can come in handy. Ai Xiaohai asked Lao Hei to roll up the three boxes, float with him, and summoned Da Bai to help him find a desert island with no people.
It didn't take long for Da Bai to come back, taking Ai Xiaohai and Lao Hei to a small desert island.
Fortunately, there is no one here all year round, otherwise, I would have been scared to death when I suddenly saw a great white shark, a king squid more than 30 meters long and a human appearing from the sea together.
Ai Xiaohai took three boxes to the desert island and took a deep breath of air. Kindness? Aren't you an amphibian now? After a slight adjustment, his gaze fell on the box he had found......
When I came to the box, I suddenly found that I was a little nervous. What will be inside? Filled with treasure, or continue to get nothing? The answer is in your own hands.
The leftmost box was opened, and there was a very clever waterproof design around the box to ensure the safety of the contents inside, this highly waterproof box was a state secret in Spain, a maritime power at the time, and few ships could prepare it, and because of this, it was not until the eighteenth century that it was mastered by the British, the second maritime overlord. In this way, the sunken ship should have been a Spanish battleship.
Of course, this also made Ai Xiaohai take a lot of effort to open the box.
Silverware, a box full of silverware!
Tableware of silver, candlesticks of silver, ornaments of silver......
Well, with this box, Ai Xiaohai's trip was not in vain. Aside from the value of the silver itself, the historical value of these silver products from hundreds of years ago is considerable.
The first box is a big harvest, but what about the remaining two boxes?
The second box was opened...... Ai Xiaohai couldn't believe what he was seeing......
Plates made of gold, crowns made of gold, necklaces inlaid with emeralds...... Gold, all of which are gold products, even made Ai Xiaohai hallucinate, is this box also made of gold?
Got rich, really got rich this time!
Picking up the gold plate casually, he couldn't tell the age, anyway, gold, whether in Europe, Asia, Africa, is a hard currency that has been circulating since ancient times. In the long years of human history, from the use of shells as a unit of currency to the emergence of paper money, countless currencies have disappeared in the long river of history, and only gold and silver are eternal.
The workmanship of the gold plate is very exquisite, and it is also carved with patterns that Ai Xiaohai can't understand, which seems to be some kind of totem.
Pick up that crown again, it's beautiful. What is carved on the front? Sun? Well, it's the sun. On the back, is the face of a monster...... Ah, it's not a monster, it's probably a god of some tribe......
The warship probably conquered a primitive tribe and looted a fortune from it. It's probably a small tribe, because the chests are not very large, and each box contains more than a dozen gold and silver items.
But how much can you get for these gold and silver products when they are auctioned in the auction house? It must be a huge number......
Wrong? Ai Xiaohai suddenly felt that something was wrong. Not a small tribe, certainly not a small tribe! What primitive tribe has made gold so beautifully? And there's even a crown! That's what the emperor wore.
There is an emperor in a small tribe?
And what about the silver? Could it be that the primitive tribes who worshiped totems ate with silver utensils under the light of silver candlesticks? That's too much to say, isn't it?
Ai Xiaohai has a bunch of mysteries in his heart, but unfortunately there are no answers.
Shaking his head, his gaze resting on the last bite of the box...... The box is very light, is it empty?
I opened it carefully, and there was a small box inside.
Ai Xiaohai's brows furrowed, what deserves so much attention from the captain? Ai Xiaohai became interested and carefully opened the small box.
What is it? This......
Not gold, not silver, not precious stones...... A thick diary made of parchment.
Ai Xiaohai was disappointed, spent so much effort, and protected a lot, but he found a diary?
When I opened the diary, I was even more disappointed, page by page, densely filled with words. The problem is that Ai Xiaohai can't read a word.
Definitely not in English, some of the letters look like English...... Don't be Latin! Don't, this is a kind of writing nicknamed "dead language".
Ai Xiaohai flipped through and recorded most of the diaries, but Ai Xiaohai didn't find anything valuable...... Ah, it's not that he didn't find it, but he simply couldn't read what was written and what was written on it.
It seems that treasure hunting is not easy to find, and it is difficult to understand how many foreign languages you have to learn hard?
Ai Xiaohai discarded the box, put the diary back in the big box, and put a silver candlestick, a gold plate, and a gold necklace in the box.
It's hard to open the box, and it's even harder to close. Ai Xiaohai studied for more than an hour before figuring out how to close the box and make the waterproofing mechanism take effect.
Reverted to the bottom of the ocean and put the two boxes back into the wreck. For the time being, there is no need to take it back, firstly, it is inconvenient to carry it on the road, and secondly, it is not only difficult to take it off, but also there is no safe place to store it. Speaking of safety, is there a safer place than the bottom of the sea?
No human being can dive to such depths, and even if there is, who can beat the king squid Lao Hei?
However, in the future, I have to find a way to bring out these shipwreck treasures I found one after another.
He instructed Lao Hei to guard the wreck, not to allow any creatures to enter, and to assign ten sharks to operate around the perimeter for protection.
Thinking about it, he was still not at ease, and he instilled a spiritual power into Lao Hei to speed up the recovery of Lao Hei's essence. Lao Hei took a big advantage this time, although it was absorbed by the essence element, but it was instilled with two spiritual powers by Ai Xiaohai one after another, not only did the life span be extended, but also the essence element could be restored within twenty years, and it was not impossible to even grow to more than sixty meters.
At that point, the Shark Legion under the command of the Great White will not be an opponent if it fights again.
Lao Hei was able to feel the benefits of spiritual power to himself, and he was extremely grateful to King Ai, who had been living nearby, and from this day on, he was loyal to the neighborhood, not allowing any creature to pass by. Some fish pass by by accidentally, and they are all old and black one by one.
There is no need to worry about food, originally it rested during the day and went to the shallow sea to hunt at night, but now this job is taken over by the Shark Legion. Every night, the Shark Legion always brings it a lot of food.
As for its natural predator, the sperm whale? Lao Hei's combat power is already strong, and now that there are so many sharks to protect it, the sperm whale has only seen the point of escaping.
Ai Xiaohai arranged all this, thinking that he had been out long enough this time, and left here with the box containing the diary, silver candlestick, gold plate and gold necklace.
Accompanied by Da Bai, all the way back to the East China Sea, the turtle prime minister Turtle Cong and the Sea Snake Legion were all waiting anxiously, and when they saw the king coming back, they all surrounded them, and they kept asking.
If possible, Ai Xiaohai would rather be with them for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that he's still a human after all.
(Actually, the spider has been updated a lot...... Well, the spider will try to code a little more every day, trying to update a little more in early August. At the same time, I hope to continue to get the support of my brothers, thank you. )
