The exploration of the sea cave is over.

Although the process was a little tortuous, thanks to Noah's calm removal of most of the sailors, not only did they not lose their money, but on the contrary, they also made a lot of money.

After a public weighing, the expedition recovered a whole box of ninety-four gold objects and nearly two hundred ancient gold coins, weighing a total of 64.52 kilograms, equivalent to 8,814 pounds of alloy pounds.

It's an expression of reciprocation.

During the retreat, an incident occurred in the retreat of the leading sailors, which moved Lorraine quite a lot.

When the cave collapsed, the coral snake abandoned the fluorescent hole, and everyone knew that the battlefield had changed dramatically, they were grateful for Lorraine's condescending courage, and the first thing they rescued was not gold, but the symbol of the captain in their minds, the strange ballista that Yin Ge had trampled under the throne.

When they retreated, they took with them the old ship's armor, which weighed half a ton, looked worthless, and no one even knew if it could be used......

It was precisely in order to carry this antique that they missed the opportunity to carry the gold.

When it was full of two boxes and a bucket of gold, they only grabbed one box, and the rest were swallowed up by the surging waves, and drowned in the deep cave hot spring infested with big snakes and full of dangers.

This heavy kindness is enough for Lorraine to take the initiative to share more profits.

Review and Summary.

In two sea cave expeditions, a total of 125 sailors accepted the sharing agreement, a total of 33 sailors participated in the expedition, 15 were killed, 4 were injured, and the losses were huge, and the gains were also huge.

Harvests from the expedition included the Macaw for three thousand pounds, ancient gold for ten thousand pounds, and ancient ballistas that had not yet been validated by Karen and monitor lizard skins that had not yet been made into equipment, which were not to be valued.

In this way, the revenue to be shared also amounted to 13,000 pounds.

Under the previous agreement, each sailor who signed the contract was entitled to a share of 20 pounds and 16 shillings, which was a matter of sitting on his laurels.

The sailors who took part in the adventure received an additional 78 pounds and 15 shillings, which were the proceeds of the adventure.

There is also a bereavement pension, which is £81 3 shillings for each of the victims of the expedition, and a consolation pension of £20 and 10 shillings for the wounded.

All the dividends are here, and the living can get up to 140 pounds, which can be called an overnight rich.

Noah and Pierce gave each sailor a receipt to be paid, and when they returned to Southampton, they were ready to pay to the Chamber of Commerce.

As for the deceased......

It is the duty of the employer to send their wealth and belongings to their testator by the Chamber of Commerce and to pay a moment of silence and greetings to the other party.

How much did Lorraine gain from this expedition?

A route to the New World, a Brig-type frigate that could be traded after repair, and ancient gold objects of unknown value of up to 8,800 pounds, even at the rate of 1:50, the value of gold objects reached 440,000 pounds.

Of course, the actual benefits certainly cannot be calculated in this way.

Scarcity is expensive.

The market for ancient gold collectibles is so large that putting them on the market in large quantities will only render them worthless for a short time.

This discounting process can take up to 10 years or more.

And in this process, there may be many gold objects that Lorraine uses as gifts in exchange for opportunities, and the actual cash proceeds will be discounted in half, or even triple.

Three folds, 130,000 pounds, is also a profitable deal.

The money will be the start-up capital for the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the most precious gift left to him by Lorraine's ancestors in this mysterious island of legends.

After a three-day rest, Lorraine returned to the ruins of the longship with his sailors with his own seamen, and glued his hand-sharpened Viking oars to the longship's mast.

The oars are written in Old Icelandic:

[The ancestor of the whalers, the king of wolves, Yinge. Arnason is buried here]

[His treasure lies in the Neoton in the sea cave, if you want, please give your life at the altar]

Karen looked in the direction of the sea cave quite unwillingly: "Captain, tens of thousands of pounds of gold!" That big snake is seriously injured, and maybe it has been poisoned by the sulfur by this time, so you really don't consider sending a few people into the water to investigate? ”

"Not so much." Lorraine whispered a sentence in Chinese.

Clen was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”

"This is an old Eastern proverb that says that when faced with wealth, you should be sensibly obedient to the Lord's arrangement and not let greed blind your eyes."

"That ancient Oriental man can see tens of thousands of pounds, and there are thousands of years of gold artifacts!"

"Isn't that great? Jörmungandr guards endless treasures, and the souls of pirates hide deep underwater, which is like the true legend of Noorton. The great whaler deserves such a destination, Inguel. Arnason deserves such a home. Lorraine smiled faintly, "By the way, what does that ancient ballista say?" ”

"Miraculous!"

Lorraine raised her eyebrows with interest: "Listen to your tone, it really works?" ”

"It's not just usable!" Clen waved her arms excitedly, "You know what? It should be made of some kind of whale rib, with fine threads carved on it, and through a special process of impregnation and penetration of metal melt, the material properties are changed, which is a top-notch alchemical skill! ”

"Alchemy?"

"It's lost alchemy!" Clen gasped heavily, "This technique makes the ballista immortal for thousands of years, and the hardness and toughness are extraordinary. I've heard that it was knocked flying by a large snake and hit a four-pounder gun, but I couldn't find any signs of a collision. I've tested the pull of the crossbow arm, and with the right strings installed, it can shoot consistently for up to 300 meters, an amazing distance! ”

"Immortal, resilient...... And alchemy......"

Lorraine frowned and understood for a long time, and decided to treat this ancient weapon as a memory metal formed by some kind of coincidence, anyway, the arrow it shot was still like that, and the general meaning was similar.

He nodded and asked, "What's it called?" ”

"I found its inscription on the crossbow arm, [Hermes. Trismegistes, narwhal]. ”

"Narwhal." Lorraine felt like the name, "Can you put it in the bow like the Scott Ballista?" ”

"Not now, but back in Southampton, I can build a new launch platform for narwhals, exactly like the old Scott ballista, or even better!"

"I'll leave it to you, my master."

Lorraine stretched his waist excitedly: "Speed up the repair of the ship." Naspert's diary mentions that the reef belt has a tortuous but wide safe route to the northwest of the island, and it is by this route that he passes through the fog area twice. ”

"Really?" Everyone was excited.

"Really." Lorraine smiled and confirmed, "In the next two days, Acharin and I will find it and mark it." We entered the fog zone from the northeast, and even if the Reindeer was still waiting for us outside the fog, it was impossible to estimate that we would come out of the northwest. ”

"Through the fog and straight north, we sailed back to England from the high latitudes, and no one could find us on the vast sea."

"Gentlemen and ladies, be proud." He looked at his seamen, like proud judges on a longship, and declared, "Establish a course, land on an island, cross the jungle, explore the unknown." We conquered the island of Hebasi, and we ...... it through and through Conquer it! ”

"Hooray!"
