One hundred and ninety-six. Life-size golden statues

Ai Xiaohai was stunned.

The last page has only one full picture:

Zeus, Hera, Apollo...... All gods, every god, are dead!

And their deaths were horrific.

How did he die? Who killed it? There is no explanation in the painting.

On Mount Olympus, these "gods" lie in all directions.

A flash of lightning swept across the sky, and even the clouds were red with blood......

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Ai Xiaohai suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar!

After Zeus' victory over Kronus, lightning flashed across the sky, and the clouds turned red...... After Zeus's victory over Typhon, lightning swept across the sky and the clouds turned red...... Now that Zeus is dead, the sky is still covered with lightning, and the clouds are still shining red......

Ai Xiaohai looked carefully, and gradually, his vision became a little blurred, and he seemed to see something.

It was a special lightning bolt, not the legendary Zeus's. And in the clouds, something faintly passed through it......

Ai Xiaohai shook his head, and the painting was still the same painting. There's nothing to walk through......

After that, there was nothing.

Although Ai Xiaohai didn't believe in any Greek myths and legends, this album told him a completely different mythological story.

Zeus wasn't a god, he was just an ordinary human being, the only difference was that he was the chief of a tribe or something. He gained some mystical powers, defeating one opponent after another. And those phenomena that the ancients could not explain were all unified into the "miracles" of "God".

Thus, the gods of Mount Olympus were born......

What is the mystical power that Zeus acquired? There is no explanation in the album, and perhaps the person who painted it himself did not know.

Why does that lightning bolt appear so often? Why do blood-red clouds appear so often? Why do you feel like there's something hidden in the clouds?

Ai Xiaohai couldn't give himself any convincing answers......

He unconsciously flipped the book over, and then saw two lines of text on the back cover.

Is it the original text? Or was it added later? Unknown.

Anyway, Ai Xiaohai didn't recognize a word.

There are no more clues......

Most of the myths of ancient Greece come from two books, one is Hesiod's "Theogony", and the other is "Homer's Epic" written by Homer. But when I opened the book "Divine Genealogy", what I felt was not sacred or beautiful, but completely naked ~ naked ~ naked singing praise!

Hesiod, who was born as a small peasant. There seems to be an innate tendency to pander to the powerful. At the beginning of the Theogony. He first touted the Muse, as the deity who bestowed inspiration on the poet, and she was Hesiod's top boss; Then he touted the backstage of the muse, Zeus, the authority of the divine realm; Then he touted the ruler of the mortal world, Basilius, the kings of the time. It is said that the muse always accompanied Basileus. Give them a just heart and beautiful words. The horses were photographed in this lap. Only then did the narrative of the genealogy officially begin.

The Homeric Epic, another great work on ancient Greek mythology, was defeated by the Theogony, not because the Homeric Epic was not beautiful enough. It's not because it's not grandiose enough, but because Homer's themes are all about war, full of slaughter and fighting; Hesiod's poetry is full of edification, giving people peace of mind to work the land, and not forgetting to pay allegiance to the king and the gods.

For the powerful, Hesiod was noticeably more appetizing to them. Thus at that legendary poetry contest, Homer and Hesiod competed together, and Homer's heroic hymn infected all the Greeks present, but the king bestowed the crown on Hesiod. This competition marked the division between the two great poets, and Hesiod undoubtedly belonged to the kind of poet who liked to "praise and whitewash......

However, here, Ai Xiaohai saw a completely different album from "Divine Spectrum", closer to some of the "Homeric Epics", of course, even "Homer's Epics" did not show the world in the album......

……

Although I haven't found the pirate's treasure for the time being, I can at least get a scythe that cuts the dick...... Ah, Kronos scythe, it's still a big deal.

However, Ai Xiaohai is always a little unwilling.

With a scythe in one hand and a picture book in the other, he walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out of the waterfall.

The current was rapid, washing the rocks and then flowing into a large river below, which was also very rapid.

Ai Xiaohai's mind moved, river?

The Scythe of Kronos is hidden in the Cave of the Raptor, but what about the treasure? Will it be in the river?

There are only a few places where pirates hide their treasures: caves, under marked trees...... Also, among the rivers and streams!

What about a turbulent river for ordinary people, but for pirates who live on the sea all year round? Will they sink the treasure to the bottom of the river and then rediscover it at some opportune time?

Possibly, quite possibly!

The question is, the river is huge, where will the treasure be in approximate directions?

What does the legend of the treasure that circulate say? An eagle's shadow is reflected on a steep summit in the setting sun, and the treasure is hidden in a cave with a cross sign between the eagle's shadow and the sunset.

Putting down the scythe and the album, Ai Xiaohai flew out of the waterfall and began to carefully observe the peculiarities around the river.

No ...... found Falling, flying......

When he flew up for the third time, Ai Xiaohai finally discovered something different from a certain section of the river:

Not far from the river, there are three trees that are taller than the surrounding trees!

This is the only place around the river that has a natural marker!

Maybe right here!

Ai Xiaohai put his luggage by the river, and then plunged into the river......

This is a river that eventually leads to the sea, which is very deep, but this is not a problem for Ai Xiaohai to complete.

If the treasure does sink to the bottom of the river by pirates, then this is the only place where it is possible. Just bless don't get washed up in the ocean. Otherwise, it's troublesome.

Down, all the way down......

Countless fish in the river, inspired by Ai Xiaohai's strong consciousness, gathered around him.

What is that? Ai Xiaohai seemed to have discovered something, and quickly swam in that direction......

Box! Ai Xiaohai saw more than half of the boxes buried in the sand on the seabed!

Ai Xiaohai's eyes lit up completely......

What the shadow of the eagle, what mark of the cross, what cave, all are deceitful. The pirate's treasure is not in the cave, but in the river!

Swim over and help with a few chains on the chest. One pull. There are actually several solid iron balls attached.

The pirates were clever enough to make sure that the chests wouldn't be swept away by the undercurrent, and that they were always fixed near the original Ashen Treasure marker.

It's just that the pirates ignored the fact that they were sinking in a hurry at that time. There was no time to explore. They didn't expect the river to be so deep! With the technology of the time. It is simply impossible to sink to such a deep water to unlock the treasure purely with human strength.

And this is also the most important reason why the treasures on Coco Island have not been taken by pirates for so long and have been discovered by treasure hunters!

It's no wonder that thousands of treasure hunting teams have searched Cocoa Island for so many years and have found nothing. Really according to the words of the legend in the cave. I'm afraid the treasure has already been taken.

This is where the treasure map ends, and it's the same factor!

The pirates did a clever thing, but they were also a stupid thing. They cut off the possibility of latecomers opening the treasure, and at the same time cut off their own.

Cheap, only Ai Xiaohai!

Ai Xiaohai found a stone from the bottom of the river and smashed the chain with all his might, even if he was extremely strong, it took a lot of effort, and he was tired and panting before he barely broke the chain.

Here's how easy it is......

Ai Xiaohai dragged the first box ashore, and then jumped into the river again......

A few hours later, a total of eleven boxes were moved ashore by Ai Xiaohai.

Even though his physical strength was strong and strong, Ai Xiaohai also felt exhausted.

It's getting dark.

Ai Xiaohai, who had rested for a long time, jumped into the river for the last time...... There was one thing that looked like the most valuable thing that hadn't been shipped......

……

This is a life-size golden statue of the Virgin Mary!

Fortunately, this golden statue is hollow, which can make Ai Xiaohai relatively easy to transport. Come to think of it, if it's a solid, life-size golden statue, it's too shocking.

Ai Xiaohai mustered up the last of his strength, flew to the Raptor Cave, carefully put the Kronos Scythe and the album that was enough to make a sensation all over the world into his travel bag, and flew back to the side of the pirate treasure.

He dialed: "Rukais, I need a helicopter...... A helicopter capable of holding 11 boxes and a life-size gold statue......"

He could even hear Rukais screaming on the other end of the line......

It's no wonder that the pirate treasure that thousands of treasure hunting teams have not found for so many years was actually found by Ai Xiaohai in less than two days, how could this not make Lukis cheer?

It's completely dark, and the treasure of the mysterious pirate Thompson is now by his side.

Ai Xiaohai, who was exhausted, couldn't wait to look at his booty after recovering some energy a little.

The chests of 11 were not all treasures, but at least five of them contained fine tobacco completely soaked in water, broken snuff bottles, a few muskets that could not be fired any longer, letters about the Governor and His Majesty the King, which were almost pulp, and so on......

Only six chests contain real treasures:

A candlestick made of gold, a gold plate similar to the one found in the Inca treasure, and a large quantity of silver......

Especially the life-size statue of the Virgin Mary...... Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but take a closer look, this was the most valuable thing in this batch of treasures......

Gold has always been something that human beings have been tirelessly pursuing since ancient times.

The harvest is quite rich, but compared to the treasures that Ai Xiaohai has, these are nothing. The only advantage is that these treasures can be immediately discounted to solve their financial problems.

As for the letters? Ai Xiaohai didn't think it could be restored, and the pirates didn't have such superb waterproof skills. However, if these things fall into the hands of archaeologists, they will definitely be regarded as treasures, and even reconstructing a single word from them will make them crazy for a long time.

But these are not the biggest gains of Ai Xiaohai's trip to Cocoa Island, the biggest gain is the Scythe of Kronos that he thought was only available in ancient mythology, and a picture book that is enough to change European history.

A picture book painted by an unknown artist, but hiding a huge secret that will drive the world crazy once it is published.

There are also the two lines on the back cover of the album, and Ai Xiaohai doesn't recognize a single symbol of the text!

He had a faint feeling that there must be some secret hidden in the words! (To be continued......)
