Chapter 216: The Age of Discovery (39)
Golden Beach.
As Rong Sheng's gaze fell on a row of small cabins under the stone wall, a soldier ran off their boat and ran straight towards the wooden house.
Rong Sheng turned sideways, and he pulled Adam's sleeve.
Adam crouched.
"There was no one on the boat." Rong Sheng said.
In addition to Rhodes's ship, there are more than 20 ships on Golden Beach, all of which are ordinary trading ships.
Adam glanced at the soldier, one hand on his forehead to cover most of his face, and he whispered, "Separate us just to make it easier to deal with it." On the port side, they left important people such as captains and gunners, plus women and weak people like Juan, also to check and balance each other. ”
"What will they do with us?"
"Alive, digging for gold, dead, buried in the ground."
After a few seconds, Rong Sheng said again: "They mentioned Duke Morales's birthday party, shouldn't they deal with us so quickly?" ”
"Rhodes is not so fast, we may not be."
"When the time comes, we'll fight with them!" Green was standing beside the two of them, and when he heard their words, he became emotional.
"What are you doing!" The soldier yelled at Green.
Uncle Goatee grabbed Green and hurriedly apologized before the soldier walked away.
The rest of the crew thought the same thing as Green, clenching their fists and looking resentful, as if they were about to explode in the next moment.
"You can't do that." Rong Sheng shook his head.
Adam agreed: "So many soldiers, even if we all have wings, we may not all be able to leave Crown Island, the Morales family is very good at archery, the tower on the other side of the port, and the guard platform on this side are equipped with a large number of archers, and we will be shot into a hornet's nest before we get on the ship!" ”
"So what are we going to do? I don't know where they were taken, captain, and who will save us? Green sat on the beach, not caring if the ground was wet or not.
"Save yourself." Rong Sheng continued: "We have to find a way to hold it off. ”
"Yes." Adam put down his hand and glanced at Rong Sheng with appreciation: "We have to delay as much time as possible." Rhodes and they will definitely come to us, and until then, we will have to find a way to secure the boat, which will have some food and fresh water to keep us on to Victoria. ”
As he spoke, Adam looked over the stone wall, and two men came out of the room, with a dozen soldiers waiting at the door, and a group of them approached them.
At the same time, Flix was finally thrown out of the ship by the soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier carried an iron box from the ship.
"That's our chance." Rong Sheng said.
Adam's eyes moved with the iron box, and he frowned, but did not speak.
The group walked in the direction of Rong Sheng and the others, and everyone raised their heads.
"My lord, it was on their ship that they found the iron box."
The iron box was placed on a piece of coarse cloth, and the soldier held it in both hands and presented it to Niko.
Niko's hand touched the lines on the lid, a crown-shaped pattern, only a ruby was set on the lid, and in the lower right corner, the text unique to the Morales family.
Niko opened the iron box, but there was nothing inside.
"Where's what's inside?"
He asked, but no one answered him.
"Who's in charge?" The soldier asked, "Hurry back to your lord's words!" ”
Adam looked up, "Our captain was taken away by Lord Alpha. ”
Niko stared at Adam, narrowed his eyes, and asked repeatedly, "Where is the thing inside?" ”
"Just a soaked wooden comb."
A soldier walked up to Adam, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him up: "Dare to tell a lie, chop up all of you and feed the fish!" ”
The soldier let go of Adam and gave him a push, and Adam took several steps back to his feet.
Nico swept everyone's faces, and finally looked at Adam, "Where did you find the shipwreck?" ”
Over the years, countless people have searched for Princess Anne's shipwreck, but have never found anything.
In recent years, no one has gone to look for the shipwreck, and even the Morales family no longer pays attention to the matter.
However, on a trading ship, there will be a relic of Princess Anne?
According to records, Princess Anne did take an iron box with her when she got married, which was the box passed down by her mother.
Nigu couldn't help but look at the dozen or so people in front of him, all of them were unremarkable.
How could they have such a skill to find Princess Anne's shipwreck?
And the reason why everyone is looking for Princess Anne's shipwreck is because the Duke of Morales at that time loved Princess Anne very much, and when she got married, there were three ships, nearly 600 people, and countless gold and jewels on board.
Facing Niko's question.
But Adam was silent.
Niko seemed to be extremely patient, and he waited for his answer.
Adam was silent, and Niko laughed instead.
Rong Sheng looked at Adam and said, "I know. ”
"Oh? What do you know? ”
"My lord, I know what they don't know, but I can only tell you one person."
Niko walked across the beach, and he glanced at Rong Sheng and motioned for him to follow.
"Say it."
"There are three shipwrecks, and there are more than a dozen boxes of gold on the shipwreck where Princess Anne is, and they are all round gold cakes."
Hearing the "golden cake", Nigu stared for a moment.
There are very few people who still know about the golden cake, and Nico only knew about the past after reading it.
Princess Anne was very fond of eating round cakes made by her mother, and after her mother's death, the Duke of Morales ordered a lot of gold cakes to be made in memory of his wife, and when Princess Anne took the dowry, she took away all the eighteen boxes of gold cakes.
Rong Sheng mentions the golden cake, and Nigu believes that they have really found the shipwreck.
Niko smiled and asked, "How many have you salvaged?" ”
"We only took the iron box with us, because the shipwreck was in the middle of the continental shelf, and only our two best crew members could swim there."
"The continental shelf?"
"At the bottom of the sea, but close to the surface of the land."
"You're just going to catch a broken box?"
"We're not a special salvage team, we just want to come to Crown Island to replenish supplies."
Nigu asked again, "Child, why do you know that there is gold at the bottom of the ship?" ”
"If they knew there was gold under the ship, they wouldn't be here now, and I know because the people who went to sea are my ......"
Rong Sheng's words were not finished.
"If you're looking for Princess Anne's shipwreck, it's best to bring Adam, who is very experienced in salvage."
Niko ignored his words.
He stared at him, a smile on his face, but he came across as dangerous.
However, Rong Sheng is only five years old, who would have such a heavy sense of precaution against a five-year-old child?
In the end, Niko only took Rong Sheng and the iron box.

Half an hour later, Ye Qing came to Jintan.
She looked around, and it was still a boat except for the boat.
Ye Qing found their ship, and it was cleaned up: "Duke Morales is the reincarnation of Zhou Papi, right?" ”
After another half an hour, she found Adam and the others in a cave on a small island not far from Crown Island.
Rong Sheng was not with them.
