"Dude, you don't need it anyway, so give it to me." Chen Badai took out an emerald the size of a finger from the ground pressed by the corpse of a pirate, which looked like a valuable item.

"Chen Badai, do you want to be so shameless?!" Xia Ruobing felt that Chen Badai's behavior was a little too out of line.

"Hmm...... This is ownerless, and according to the principle of law, it is called first-served-first-served. Chen Badai smiled and stuffed the emerald into his pocket.

"You...... First-served, first-served, first-served! Xia Ruobing said.

"Hmm...... But he's dead. Chen Badai was right, "Only the living can occupy it, and the dead can ...... He was no longer qualified to possess it. ”

"Shameless......" Xia Ruobing scolded in a low voice.

"Hmm...... I call it no waste of resources...... It would be shameless to let these treasures be left here and never see the light of day! Chen Badai has a heartfelt voice.

Regarding the definition of shamelessness, everyone has their own standards, Xia Ruobing can only give up, Chen Badai's eyes are rolling around, trying to find a little valuable thing from the other corpses, but those pirates seem to be more "shameless" than him, and they didn't leave anything, Chen Badai picked up a short sword, the blade of the short sword is missing a lot of holes, it seems that its owner used it to resist the vigorous slashing of other weapons before his death, but the pirate's short sword is not a divine weapon cast by a Tianshan meteorite, a layer of rust covers the short sword, The hilt of the sword was also very ordinary wood, and this thing didn't seem to be valuable, so Chen Badai had no choice but to give up and set his eyes on the scattered muskets.

This kind of single-shot musket fires round lead bullets, reloads slowly, and is heavy in the hand, and hits almost by faith, with modern eyes, they should stay in the museum, this is also what can be called an antique next to these corpses, Chen Badai weighed it, and stuffed a musket into his trouser pocket, and the heavy musket pulled down the belt desperately.

But soon, Chen Badai felt that it was a very stupid thing to bring a musket, because the same weight of gold would be worth much more than a musket, and not far from this abandoned battlefield, only more than a hundred meters away, Chen Badai's flashlight shone on a bunch of things shining with golden light.

"Treasure?!" Chen Badai rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, "There is really a treasure!" ”

Mr. Min also became excited, and quickly stepped forward, looking at these glittering things, searching for everything about Loulan inside......

It was a pile of gold coins scattered around, several boxes stacked there, some of them cracked, and one piece of gold coins were scattered all over the ground.

It was a larger hall, with some wooden boxes, barrels and other messy things scattered in the rubble, and some braziers around, but there was no fuel in the braziers, but in some large wooden barrels that were well sealed, they found some whale oil, Wang Xingguo poured some whale oil into the brazier, lit the core in the brazier, and the dim light of the fire illuminated the cave.

"Light the fire and save some batteries." Wang Xingguo saw that this method was feasible and said to everyone.

The brazier was lit one after another, and everyone finally saw the face of the cave - the floor of the cave was not flat, and the pirates did not seem to be particular about the placement of items, and the messy wooden boxes and other miscellaneous items were scattered in the cave, but there was a platform above the ground on the east side of the cave, and a throne on the platform attracted everyone's attention.

It was a gilded throne on which sat the corpse of a man, clothed in gold thread, with his shoes studded with precious stones, his head tilted to one side, and all kinds of precious stones around the throne, and a scepter of power, leaned against the edge of the throne.

On a small stone platform next to it, there is a seat, Xia Ruobing feels that this seat is familiar, this is a Loulan-style seat, and the wooden seat is carved with the customs of Loulan!

Everyone searched around, and found some corpses, adding up to more than thirty, many corpses were mutilated, some bones even had burn marks, and only a few corpses could still remain intact, but without exception, they were all curled up in a ball.

"These people starved to death, and before they died, they ate their companions." Wang Xingguo said, I can't imagine what they experienced at that time. He saw the corpse on the throne, he should be a certain leader in the pirates, Wang Xingguo felt a little sad, guarding these treasures, but finally trapped here, these treasures are the material that makes people better, or is it a curse?

"There's a book here......" Chen Badai surrounded the throne with great interest, it was impossible to carry such a heavy throne, but it should be no problem to pick some valuable things in it, and he found a book in the corner under the armrest on the right side of the throne.

"Books?!" When Mr. Min heard this word, he turned his head sensitively, could it be the record book that recorded the treasure of Loulan?

"Parchment?" Chen Badai opened the book, the paper of the book was not quite the same as the ordinary one, it was very soft and tough, this was a book bound with parchment, it was still well preserved after so many years, but Chen Badai couldn't understand any of the words on it.

"It's not English, it's Latin......" Sherpa looked at the text in the book, a little unsure.

"No, it's Spanish." Kerry looked closer and said, "I've taken Spanish, so I should be able to read it." ”

"Hello dog, you're not useless." Chen Badai handed the book to Kerry.

Reading Spanish was not difficult for Kerry, and although he was not sure what some of the words meant, they were generally connected and could not be translated into question.

"This is not a book...... This is a logbook...... But in the final part, the events after the pirates landed on the island are recorded...... It's brutal......" Kerry flipped through the text, and when he saw the last part of the text, he was reminded of the pirates' last days.

"Betrayal...... Cruel...... Fear...... Despair...... It's just that in later records, the words that come up the most ......," Kerry said.

"And what exactly did he write?" Chen Badai was a little anxious.

"This is the diary of Captain Emenehildo, and I think this is Captain Emenehildo." Kerry pointed to the corpse on the throne, which did not deny it.

"He was the captain of the pirate ship Invincible Raven, and they had a powerful fleet of pirate raiders, a total of five ships participated in the robbery of the Quiet Dutchman, and those treasures were loaded onto the Invincible Raven and placed under the management of Captain Amenehildo, but the British fleet soon caught up like sharks smelling their prey." Kerry flipped through the logbook and said.

"Five ships? Oh my boy, these pirates have a fleet! Chen Badai smacked his tongue when he heard this.

"Hmm...... It seems so, but these pirate ships have 12-pounder and 18-pounder guns, and they have no problem dealing with merchant ships, but they will have a hard time dealing with British second-class cruisers. Kerry said.

"Second class cruiser?!" Chen Badai had never heard of this term.

"Simply put, the cannons loaded on these cruisers were 24-pounder guns, and some even 32-pounder guns, which, judging by the caliber of the guns, reached the level of battleships, except that the number of their guns and hulls were smaller, but also faster." Kerry probably popularized the knowledge of the age of sailing.

"Well, I know, the bigger the pound, the more powerful the artillery." Chen Badai's understanding was not wrong.

"The only thing these pirates rely on is speed, but those British ships are not slow, the British are also masters of seafaring, here is a record of the first dispute among the pirates, in order to get rid of the British, the captain of the Lucky Boy Barmond once proposed to disperse the ships, but the rest of the captains objected, because the treasure looted from the Quiet Dutchman was on the Invincible Raven, they proposed to divide the treasure equally if they wanted to separate, but Captain Emenehildo refused, His ship also contained treasures plundered elsewhere. "This is the third month of being followed by the British fleet, the first infighting among the pirates, and Captain Emenehildo unabashedly curses in the journal that Captain Gregory of the Flying is a disgusting maggot, well, and the captain of the Emperor, Franco, but it seems, to another pirate ship...... Well, the captain of the Fearless Fearless Aisik, Emenehildo is trying to win over. ”

"What do you mean, this Captain Edwin is in league with Barmond, Gregory Franco is in gang, and the Fearless is neutral?" Listening to Kerry say a lot, how could Chen Badai remember so many names and ships in his mind, it was simple, just divide into three groups.

"It should be...... Here, Emenehildo mentions the crown of skulls, the pattern of the crown is exquisite, the blood skull is as transparent as blood, the eyes can see through everything, and this crown alone has attracted the covetousness of all pirates, so he hides the crown in a place that only he knows, and those shameless and greedy pirates are attracted to it, even if they are sent to the gallows, their eyes will not take their eyes off this crown...... These are the exact words of the captain......"

"So, those pirates want to divide the treasure equally is really just a front, and they all want this crown." Mr. Min interjected.

Mr. Min believes that no one can resist the temptation of this crown, even if it does not carry the secrets of Loulan! Mr. Min knew it when he first saw it on a hand-drawn drawing.

"Yes, a condition was put forward that Captain Emenehildo could not agree to, but they would not leave the Invincible Raven...... In the captain's logbook, hmm...... There's a curse against them, and he curses these damned pirates, dragged to the bottom of the sea by a sea monster on a stormy night, and never see the light of day......"

"Cursed...... It's a curse again......" Chen Badai muttered, "That...... Did the curse work? ”

"It seems to be ......" Kerry flipped a few more pages, these places were all records of the boring seafaring life, but the latter part of the record attracted him.
