The pain of the soul is greater than the pain of the body.

- Horace (founder and founder of Roman classicism)

Hearing this, Oscar couldn't help but ask a question: "Roberts, do you mean that since the Pirate King announced the disbandment of the fleet, he and the Raven have never appeared again?" Could it be that a super battleship made of pure gold has just disappeared into the Aegean Sea; Has no one ever seen it again? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency; Since that time, no one has seen the Pirate King and his Raven again. You know, the Pirate King was just a middle-aged man who had just turned thirty-five years old that year; He was at least a dozen years away from the end of his life, but he and the Raven never appeared again.

Later, with the passage of time and the ban of Alexander the Great, the Pirate King and the Raven were gradually forgotten; Even after the death of Alexander the Great, Alexander's empire fell apart, and the legend of the Pirate King and the Raven was never remembered again. This was the case then, but what about today, more than 200 years later?

Of course, there are still a considerable number of people in this world who are aware of the existence of the Pirate King and the Raven; These people may have known from their own family texts, from stories passed down by word of mouth, and others from their own ancestors. However, very few people actually believe in this legend.

Except that those of us who have been at sea for many years know that this is not a story, but a real thing; Most people who know about this treat the Pirate King and the Raven as if they were myths. There are even those who laugh at the legend of the Pirate King and the Raven as being made up. The reason is that there is no way that anyone can have enough gold to build a warship and the twenty-five million gold coins that will be sent out!

And that's why we believe in it. The reason is that Kidd's ancestors and I were both captains of the Pirate King; Our family even has gold coins that the Pirate King himself gave to our ancestors. The captain of the batch of gold coins that year. Each received a commemorative gold coin with the Pirate King's head; Our ancestors were no exception! ”

As he spoke, Roberts took out a quaint and delicate gold coin from his bosom and handed it to Oscar; Oscar reached out and took the coin and looked at it carefully. The construction of the gold coin is not responsible, and when viewed from the reverse, it is only shoddy with a simple mold, and there are no decorations; But the front head looks unusually exquisite, and it doesn't look like it was made of a mold at all!

After a careful look, Oscar looked up and asked Roberts, "Isn't the head on this gold coin minted?" This kind of gold coin must have been made from a mold first, and then someone slowly carved it, right? Otherwise. It is simply impossible for the avatar on the gold coin to be so delicate and lifelike. ”

"Yes, all the commemorative gold coins sent out were carved by the Pirate King himself; My ancestors once said, 'If the Pirate King hadn't been a pirate, the pirate world would have one less legend; And the world of engraving is enough to have one more legend'. This time it was Kidd who answered for Roberts, and while answering Oscar, Kidd also took out a gold coin and handed it to Oscar.

Two identical gold coins glittered in Oscar's hand, as if to explain to Oscar the legend of the Pirate King and the Raven; Looking at these two significant gold coins, Oscar asked, "So, if you say so; Your so-called Aquaman's treasure is the Raven and the treasure on it left behind by the Pirate King?

But if you're on a quest to find the Pirate King's treasure, why are you joining forces with Blackbeard Edward and Calico Jack? Isn't their reputation bad enough? If you really need a helper. Whether it's Bellamy, the prince of pirates, or Francis Drake; Even Morgan. It's also better than Blackbeard and Calico?! ”

In the face of Oscar's question, Roberts and Kidd looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then Roberts said helplessly: "Actually, we never thought that we could find the treasure left by the Pirate King; I didn't have such a thought at all. It was Blackbeard who approached us on his own initiative, saying that he had discovered the Pirate King's treasure, but that he was not strong enough; Want to go on a treasure hunt with us.

Of course, we won't easily believe his nonsense; However, he took out a full hundred gold pirate king coins in front of us, which were exactly the same as the commemorative gold coins we had! You know, the Pirate King only gave away more than a hundred pieces back then; After more than 200 years of circulation, these gold coins have long disappeared, and it is impossible to put them together!

Blackbeard's ability to pull out so many Pirate King Gold coins means that he may indeed have the exact information about the Pirate King's treasure; And the reason he came to me and Kidd was simple. He had seen us play with the gold coins at the Old Ten Pirate Meetings and Pirate Insider Trading; He knew that we must have something to know about it, so he came to us to cooperate.

We didn't agree to cooperate out of greed for wealth, but we were worried about what gifts to prepare to surrender to the House of Augustus; Coupled with our own curiosity about the Raven, we agreed to Blackbeard's invitation. After that, Blackbeard said that the strength of the three of us was still not enough, but we couldn't let anyone who was too strong know; Then he invited Calico Jack again.

Later, we learned that it was all a conspiracy of Blackbeard and Calico! They did find the clues to the Pirate King's treasure, but they were still far from finding the Pirate King's treasure; The reason why they came to us was to lend our hands to help them become stronger, and on the other hand, they wanted us to be cannon fodder!

When Blackbeard had finished our preparations, he took us to a shipwrecked place in the Aegean Sea; There is a turbulent undercurrent, and the sea surface is densely covered with an unusually large number of irregular strange rocks, and the slightest carelessness may destroy the ship and kill people! Because of the strange sea conditions here, there are basically no ships here; Not to mention that someone will show up here.

We don't know how Blackbeard and Calico discovered this place, but this is the Pirate King's Treasure, home to the legendary Raven! For we searched again where Blackbeard had found the gold coins, and found two small crates of five hundred pirate king coins; Excited, we immediately teamed up and sent warships to pass through this undercurrent.

It's a pity that after we paid the price of four double-lined battleships, we still rushed over after all; This undercurrent is at least about a kilometer away, or more. However, our maximum impact distance is only three hundred meters; If we want to fully explore this undercurrent channel, we will need at least 30 boats.

At this time, we only had less than a dozen warships left, and we had no choice but to find another way; Blackbeard proposes that we join forces to sack a small harbor during the night, and then replenish our respective strengths with captured warships, while the captured transports and merchant ships are to be used to find underwaters.

Such a plan was not a genius plan, but it was the best we could think of at that time; Actually, that's why Blackbeard really invited us to participate in the plan, and it was part of his secret plan. Together, we attacked the Greek city-state of Rhodes, and took eight warships and more than twenty merchant ships and transports from the port of Rhodes at night.

After getting the ships, we didn't have enough men to accept them; Therefore, Blackbeard took this opportunity to replenish only the two warships we lost, and the other six warships were all divided between him and Calico, and the captured merchant ships and transport ships were naturally controlled by Blackbeard's men.

In fact, Blackbeard had planned everything long before he was looking for us to work with him; Otherwise, he would not have prepared so many men in advance to take over our captured warships and captured ships at any time. On the way back, Blackbeard and Calico took advantage of Kidd and me letting our guard down; An unexpected sneak attack was carried out on us!

Kidd and I, after losing six double-lined ships and one three-lined battleship, managed to survive Blackbeard and Calico; Then we fled all the way south, and Blackbeard and Calico followed us all the way after us, fearing that we would leak the Pirate King's treasure, until here we were overtaken by them, and then you know. ”

After listening to Roberts's explanation, Oscar's attention was completely away from Roberts and Kidd, but all shifted to the Pirate King's Treasure and the Raven; Oscar even wondered what it would be like if the Augustus family obtained the legendary Pirate King's treasure and the golden battleship Raven!

Not to mention how much gold and silver treasure is in the Pirate King's treasure, just one legendary golden battleship, the Raven, is enough to make the entire Augustus family not worry about any expenses for ten years! Oscar is fully convinced that with such a huge golden battleship, tens of millions of gold coins can definitely be melted; That's the real wealth!

As for the Raven battleship, Oscar still thinks that gold is not suitable for building a battleship, it is more suitable for minting gold coins that everyone loves! However, it will not be easy for Oscar to get his hands on the Pirate King's treasure; After all, the place where the Raven may be located is in the Aegean Sea, which is the sphere of influence of the Greeks, and the warships of the Augustan family cannot go.

Unless one day the power of the House of Augustus could expand into the Greek peninsula, or the eastern regions east of the Aegean Sea; Otherwise, the matter of the Pirate King's treasure will not be related to the Augustan family. However, Oscar knew how the Raven entered the core area of the undercurrent safely; This is basically impossible for people in this era to know, and this is the advantage that belongs to the Oscars!
