Those who use cunning to harm their friends will be trapped in a dangerous ambush themselves.

- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

Looking at the two huge stone gates at the back of this small square, as well as the Venus pattern carved on the stone gates, Oscar did not rush into the stone gate, but first asked the soldiers of the Samonai Legion led by Antio to collect all the gold and silver treasures scattered in the small square and transport them out of the cave, and then enter the place inside the stone gate after these gold and silver treasures were disposed of.

Just as Antio and his soldiers of the Samonai Legion began to collect the gold and silver treasures in the small square, Cleopatra found royal articles belonging to the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt among the piles of jewels; Then the question arises, why are the treasures belonging to the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt in the treasures of Pygmalion?

The Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt is a new dynasty that emerged after the collapse of Alexander's empire, and it has only been more than 100 years since the birth of the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt. And Pygmalion is a figure nearly three or four hundred years ago, why did the treasures of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt appear in the treasure he left behind, could it be that someone once came to this treasure?

Needless to say, there must have been someone who came to this treasure after the establishment of the Ptolemaic dynasty and left something new; Who is here, and why would he leave behind something that doesn't belong in this treasure?

All of this was an inexplicable mystery and a doubt in the hearts of the people, and it took two hours for Antio and a thousand soldiers of the Samonai Legion to gather all the gold and silver treasures in the small square; Under Cleopatra's command, everything that did not belong to this Pygmalion era was put on the other side by Cleopatra.

After statistics, it was found that the total value of the gold, silver and jewelry in the small square was more than five million gold coins; Among them, the real gold and silver jewelry belonging to the Pygmalion era is only about 2 million gold coins, and the remaining gold and silver jewelry is from recent decades.

If the existence of the former is all distinctly Greek, then the existence of the latter is completely inexplicable; Compared with the Greek-style gold and silver jewels of the Pygmalion era, the gold and silver jewels that appeared later were unusually disorganized.

Cleopatra alone found gold and silver jewelry belonging to the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt and the Seleucid dynasty of the Seleucid empire in the gold and silver jewels in the back, and Shi Xiu also found gold and silver jewels belonging to the Greek city-states and the Roman Republic in them; Even the Macedonian kingdom and the Thracian barbarians have them, which is a small treasure trove.

This directly led to the growing mystery in everyone's hearts, and also made everyone full of expectations about what was behind the stone gate; After packing up the gold, silver and jewelry, Oscar asked Antio and his soldiers to work together to push the stone gate open, while he took Cleopatra and Shi Xiu to wait for the secret behind the stone gate.

The heavy stone gate was slowly pushed open with the best efforts of dozens of soldiers, but what was shown in the eyes of Oscar and others was not more gold and silver treasures, but a more empty square; Not only was there no gold, silver, and jewels from the small square outside, but there was not even anything of value, except for a carved statue of Venus standing in the center of the square.

This statue of Venus, which is about three meters high, is followed by two other life-size statues and a statue of a baby; If nothing else, these four statues are supposed to be Pygmalion's treasures, as well as souvenirs he left for his son.

The statue of Venus of Gundam is used by Pygmalion to thank the god of love, and the two life-size statues are supposed to be Pygmalion himself and his beloved wife Tyre, and the remaining baby statue must be the crystallization of their love Paphos; In Pygmalion's personality, he would not have paid attention to worldly gold and silver jewelry, and the four statues here should be his most valuable treasure.

The treasure of Pygmalion is these four statues, there is no doubt about it; The gold and silver jewels belonging to the Pygmalion era in the small square outside the stone gate are just some money left by Pygmalion to his son, which is very normal.

But where did the gold and silver jewels that didn't belong to this treasure come from? Why didn't the man who came to this treasure not only take all the gold and silver jewels from this treasure, but also left more gold and silver jewels, could it be that he was a descendant of Pygmalion? This is impossible, Pygmalion's descendants were slaughtered long ago during Alexander's empire!

Before Alexander the Great marched to the East, the island belonged to the Greeks of the Kingdom of Cyprus, which was ruled by the descendants of Pygmalion; However, when Alexander the Great marched to the East, he sent his general Ptolemy to bring the island under the rule of the Kingdom of Macedonia.

From the independent Kingdom of Cyprus, to the island of Cyprus in the Kingdom of Macedonia, to the Ptolemaic province of Egypt; This is the change in the fate of the island in just over a decade, and it is also the history of the demise of the descendants of Pygmalion.

Ptolemy, the founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty of the Kingdom of Egypt, was never a soft-hearted man; During the attack on the Kingdom of Cyprus, Ptolemy of the Cypriots, who resisted to the end, did not show mercy in killing all those who dared to resist on the island, including all members of the royal family that ruled the Kingdom of Cyprus.

Since then, Pygmalion's descendants have completely disappeared from this world; Since Pygmalion has no descendants, where would anyone send gold, silver and jewelry to this treasure, Oscar's heart is about to become 100,000 why.

After a careful search of the square to no avail, Oscar had to return with a stomach full of mysteries; At this moment, Cleopatra found an unusual button behind the statue of Venus, so she did not hesitate to press the button.

As Cleopatra pressed the button, there was an intersection in the otherwise empty plaza where two people could walk side by side, and behind the intersection was a dark staircase leading to the distance; Perhaps, this hidden mechanism is the key to explaining all the mysteries, and Oscar and the others immediately lit the prepared torches and continued to walk down the steps.

This is a staircase passage that leads to the front, up and down for a while, and after walking for nearly a kilometer, Oscar and the others noticed the existence of light in front of them; Since there is light, it means that the end point ahead is not inside the cave, but it is likely to lead directly to something outside the cave, perhaps another exit from the cave.

As he got closer and closer to the light, Oscar slowly smelled a hint of the sea breeze, could it be that the end point of this road would be directly to the shore? Paphos is a city close to the coastline, and this treasure is even closer to the coastline, and it makes sense that it leads directly to the coastline; The question is, why do you want to go to the coastline?

After walking all the way out of this pass, Oscar saw something that he never dreamed of, the end of this pass is not only the coast, but a naturally formed excellent harbor; The protruding mountains on either side form two semicircular wings that protect the harbor in the middle, and the only gaps in and out are covered by dense foliage.

These are not the reasons for Oscar's jaw-dropping, what really makes Oscar feel unbelievable is that there is a huge warship moored in this naturally formed hidden harbor; This huge battleship was much larger than the largest five-column warship of the Augustan Empire, and the entire battleship was made of pure gold, and even the years could not completely hide its brilliance.

As Oscar, who knew the existence of the legendary battleship Golden Crow, how could he not guess the identity of the battleship in front of him? A few years earlier, Oscar had also learned from Kidd and Roberts that the Raven might be in the Aegean Sea; Unexpectedly, the real Seven Golden Raven Battleships were hidden in a hidden natural harbor on the island of Cyprus!

In this way, the gold, silver, and jewels that appeared in the small square outside the stone gate of the treasure can be explained clearly; But another question arises, why did the Pirate King take his Raven Battleship to the island of Cyprus, far from the Aegean Sea?

Could it be that the Pirate King's true identity is that of a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Cyprus? If not, how could it be explained that the Pirate King would know the location of Pygmalion's treasure and bring his Raven Battleship to the exit of this treasure.

With his own guesses, Oscar, Cleopatra and the others boarded the moored Raven warship; The Raven Battleship, which is made purely of gold, has not shown its old decay in the passage of time, but has kept its interior clean and tidy, except for the dust, the entire Raven Battleship still maintains its most perfect posture.

After entering the interior of the battleship, Oscar and the others found a parchment scroll left by the Pirate King in the Pirate King's cabin; In this parchment, the Pirate King elaborates on his own identity; It turned out that the pirate king, who had always opposed Alexander's empire, turned out to be a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Cyprus that was wiped out by Alexander's empire.

At that time, the Pirate King was a rather rebellious existence in the Cypriot royal family, he changed his face to become a pirate in pursuit of excitement, and deliberately made up a new identity in front of his pirates; It wasn't until he got tired of fighting Alexander's empire that he decided to return to his homeland with his Raven warship, where he spent the rest of his life.
