Chapter 32: Half a chart for the big guy
The arquebus was bought by a local tyrant in China for 7,000 gold coins, and sometimes Yi Xiaoge felt that these rich people were really good, and they casually contributed to the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info resolutely does not let antiques flow abroad!
"The third lot in today's auction is a jar of seeds!"
"Seeds?" The third auction item finally made Yi Xiaoge interested, and Yi Xiaoge is now particularly concerned about planting.
Aldant took a beautiful and delicate glass jar from Miss Manners's hand, and saw that it was filled with large yellow and white seeds.
"This is currently the best and highest yielding lemon seed in the world. At present, there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables that can replenish large amounts of vitamins on newly opened islands or sea voyages, and long-term vitamin deficiencies can lead to scurvy and other diseases, which can lead to a large number of islanders getting sick or dying. While lemons are the best fruit to prevent such diseases, the most important point is that none of the islands currently have lemons! β
Yi Xiaoer listened to Ardant's words thoughtfully, if this is the case, then whoever gets the seeds will have an independent market for lemons at least so far. And the market for lemons doesn't have to be considered at all, it's about who wants to let the islanders who have worked so hard to cultivate hang up because of scurvy. Of course, lemon has many other uses, such as making cold drinks, sunny beaches, beautiful seaside, and what it is like to enjoy a glass of cool and sour chilled lemon juice.
"The reserve price of this lot is 9,000 gold coins, and each increase in price shall not be less than 500 gold!"
"Exam! Can't you just give me a price I can shoot? β
Yi Xiaoge can be regarded as seeing through, this auction is completely a game for the bigwigs, and Yi Xiaoge is at most a spectator. The auction of the five auction items has been completed one after another, Yi Xiaoge thought that this auction would be over, and was about to close the live broadcast window, but the old man Aldant spoke again.
"Dear Island Owners, at the request of the World Business Alliance, there is an additional special auction for this auction. I would like to give the floor to Ferdy Lomon, the eldest son of the world's number one navigator Ferdinandan!"
This sudden change surprised Yi Xiaoge, what kind of character can make such a big organization as the World Business Alliance conduct an additional auction for him?
A young man with blonde hair and white skin came out of the backstage, dressed in a strong suit and very capable and spirited, and his blue eyes were particularly eye-catching. He stood at the long table, silent for a moment, and raised his head, his eyes unshakable with determination.
"Your Excellency, my name is Ferdy RomΓ³n, and I am the only son of Ferdidonan the Navigator. My father wandered the seas, discovered countless mysterious islands, and traveled to the farthest lands. His logbook was piled up, his honors were innumerable, but his life was regretted by one event. β
Ferdi Romon's voice became a little choked up at this, and he softened for a long time before continuing: "It took him ten years to compile his logbook and route map planning and draw up a very detailed nautical chart, which recorded countless magical places and beautiful islands that he had seen. It was the most glorious achievement of his life, but I stole it out and tore it in half and threw it overboard during an argument with him. My father became depressed until he died with deep regret and reluctance. It was only later that I realized that the chart was the whole meaning of my father's life, and that he never got angry with me because of it. However, I already realized too late, and the charts had long since disappeared into the sea. β
What a touching story, Yi Xiaoge was not only a little moved when he listened to it, he could already understand how big a mind that navigator was to endure this cheating bear child?
"I've been searching for the whereabouts of the drawings for years, and two years ago I was lucky enough to find half of them, but the other one is still missing."
As he spoke, Romon took out a very tightly wrapped scroll of charts and unfolded them.
"Please take a closer look at this chart, if anyone can provide the other half of the chart, I am willing to follow him forever, although I have no regrets!"
Yi Xiaoge rubbed his eyes and looked at the nautical chart carefully, only to see that the nautical chart was drawn in sheepskin, after many years, and even soaked in seawater, but it was still very clear. The more Yi Xiaoge looked at it, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Mr. Yi, why hasn't the roast chicken been delivered at noon today, it shouldn't be that you can't afford to support me, right? I don't eat much, so you can't ...... Hey, what are you doing!"
When Yi Xiaoge was thinking about it, Riel entered the villa with a big belly, and when he saw him, Yi Xiaoge finally remembered why the chart was so familiar, and when he blackmailed Riel, he had taken out five items for Yi Xiaoge to choose. Half of the charts are very similar to those shown by Romon .
Yi Xiaoge rushed up and hugged Ruier, and said with a rather miserable expression: "Ruier, you touched your conscience and said, I have treated you like this these days when you came to the island?"
"Good wow, bread in the morning, roast chicken at noon, roast whole lamb in the evening. Eat well and sleep soundly!"
Yi Xiaoge said with tears in his eyes: "That's good, then I ask you for a small thing, you will definitely agree, right?"
"I will definitely help you if I can, you are my food and clothing parents." Riel said very bluntly, the fat on his face trembling and trembling.
"That's great, give me your half chart!"
"Wow! Please pay me 8888 gold coins. β
"! You're embarrassed to ask me for money?"
"We are businessmen, one yard is one yard ......"
"If you don't give me the chart, I won't give you roast chicken!"
"If you don't give me roast chicken, you just can't buy my charts even if you have money!"
β¦β¦
Yi Xiaoge still got the chart, and after some bargaining, Yi Xiaoge promised to add another roast chicken to Riel every day, and the money for the chart was paid in installments, of course, as for how many installments, it depends on the mood...... Oh ha!
Yi Xiaoge directly put the nautical chart into the bidding area that had become a trading interface.
"Ding! You submitted the correct nautical charts to the auction! β
The next moment, Ardant immediately said, "Aha! Our Mr. Romon is really God blessed, there really is an island owner who has obtained the other half of the chart, let us congratulate Romon and the owner who provided the chart, he will be followed by the descendants of the great navigator, it will be a legend! So that's the end of the auction, and now we'll see you seven days later! β
Aldant's words made the Super Island World lively again, and people speculated about who got Romon's refuge and what the secret of that chart was. The Super Island News Organization mobilized almost all its paparazzi to investigate in various places, which became another hottest topic after Yi Xiaoer.
And our Mr. Yi Xiaoer was shocked by a system prompt.
"Ding! Congratulations on your bid for the Grand Navigator, Grand Warrior, and Senior Commander Ferdy Lomon, who will become your Islander in nine calendar days. β
"Talent!" Yi Xiaoge sighed, this inattention has another awesome character.
He found that although there were only a dozen islanders on the island, there were really a lot of strange things, was it suitable for him to take the elite route?
