Chapter 48: Competition

"Admiral, are you looking for me?" Upon receiving a notification from Dinah, Wood quickly arrives at the captain's quarters.

"Well, sit down!" Xu Mo looked at the weather-covered young reincarnation and pouted at the chair.

During this time, Wood had been on guard duty at the lookout post high on the mast, and under the wind and sun, the originally fair-skinned young man gradually had the bronze skin of a Viking sailor. When he first got on the ship, the reincarnation with a deep mind slowly became heroic and tough as a Viking.

Of course, this change is not unique to Wood, as more than a dozen reincarnators on the ship currently have this change. While the reincarnation is changing the mirror world, the mirror world and the plot characters are also imperceptibly influencing the reincarnation. The Vaasa's small space aggravated this physical and psychological change.

Sometimes, when Xu Mo woke up from the hammock in the captain's room, in a daze, he couldn't even tell whether he was Xu Mo, the reincarnation, or Alfred, the Swedish Admiral.

"When I was serving on the Vestelos, a young companion went missing in a naval battle. Today, however, Pastor Dinah saw him at the fair in Alexandria! Xu Mo thought about it and said slowly, "This young man is the son of a great nobleman in Sweden, and his identity is very important. Originally, I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to be alive. ”

"Admiral, do you want me to get him?" Wood was a little confused.

"Pastor Dinah was so surprised when I saw him that he has now lost all traces of him!" Xu Mo paced a few steps around the room with his hands behind his back, and then said, "However, Pastor Dinah saw a few white Europeans dressed as sailors around him...... I suspect he's been kidnapped by pirates! ”

"I see!" Wood's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood what Xu Mo meant, "You want me to find the pirate ship that hijacked that teenager on the many ships in the dock!" ”

"Well, only your observation can find that pirate ship among so many ships!" Xu Mo nodded and said expectantly, "I'll ask Pastor Dinah to paint a portrait of you." Maybe after such a long time, his appearance will change a little, but the overall temperament and silhouette should not deviate too much! ”

"Your Excellency, if we find that young man, can we bring him back directly!" Wood grinned, a hint of confidence and toughness. The succession of victories in the past two months has not only made the Viking sailors on the Vasa full of confidence, but even the reincarnation of Wood has also been infected by this emotion.

"No, just figure out the identity of the other party!" Xu Mo frowned and shook his head slowly, "Let Azhisha go with her, she is a Persian, and she may be able to get some information from the local population!" ”

"Yes, Admiral!" Wood's eyes flashed, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Your Excellency, I heard that you were a noble knight before you became a navy?" ”

"Yes, our family has lived in Uppsala for generations, but in my generation, there is only one member of my lineage left!" Xu Mo sighed softly.

"I'm sorry!" Wood said apologetically, pushing the door open and leaving.

Xu Mo in the room, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that Wood had some doubts and speculations about his plot identity.

Wood is a perceptual second-order transfer, although the members of the old K-group except for Max, Hong Jian, and Li Ze have disguised themselves as plot characters. However, after such a long time on the ship, it is inevitable that small flaws will be exposed in some small places, such as speech and behavior. As long as Wood wasn't stupid, he could see something.

Xu Mo didn't worry about this, two months was enough for Wood to doubt his identity, but it was also enough for Xu Mo to confirm Wood's true thoughts. Wood and his team of reincarnators have indeed made up their minds to move into the X space, and they are currently sincerely working with Max. Even if Wood suspected that Xu Mo was a reincarnation, he couldn't directly associate with the old K-Troupe, let alone leak their whereabouts to the Temple of the Gods.

……

"Admiral!" It wasn't long before the door to the captain's cabin was pushed open from outside.

"Akisha! Didn't you go out with Wood? Looking at the Persian beauty, Xu Mo asked in surprise.

"Al...... They are in danger! Azisa said with an anxious face.

"What's going on?" Xu Mo's face changed, and he hurriedly asked.

In fact, as soon as the Vasa arrived in Alexandria, it met Raphael, who had been waiting for a long time. Raphael's treasure map is a pyramid of an Egyptian pharaoh in the desert southwest of Alexandria, about 30 kilometers from the city.

According to current historical records, this pyramid was one of the pharaohs of the 12 most powerful dynasties in Egyptian history. Rumor has it that the pyramids have a lot of funerary goods, which should give treasure hunters a good harvest. However, since the last century, treasure hunters who have entered the remains of this pyramid have returned empty-handed, and not even a single item has been found.

According to the last group of treasure hunting teams who entered the pyramid, the pyramid is full of mechanisms, and the most important burial chamber is in the underground labyrinth of the pyramid. This treasure hunting team suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the mechanism, and when they entered the labyrinth, it was as if they were in another dimension, and they could not identify the direction at all. In the end, he could only retreat to the starting place and give up the treasure hunt.

If Raphael hadn't had the notebook of the captain of the treasure hunt team and a map of the labyrinth, I'm afraid the Portuguese teenager wouldn't have had the idea of a treasure hunt.

This labyrinthine map belonged to the court collection of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt and was acquired by a wealthy Arab merchant after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. During one of Raphael's trades in Alexandria, the labyrinth map was given to the Castello Chamber of Commerce by the wealthy merchant as part of the deal.

Inspired by the great favor of the Castello Chamber of Commerce for the Vaasa, Xu Mo immediately sent a team of Viking sailors to Raphael after arriving in Alexandria. In view of the large number of organs in the pyramid, even if there was a notebook codex of the previous treasure hunting team, Xu Mo still tried his best to strengthen this treasure hunting team.

Their main force is the Golden Elephant's Ink Wind Ball, and the main mission of the Ink Wind Group is currently the same as the Temple of the Gods, which is almost blank and has done nothing. After completing the transportation of Viking sailors, they traveled to the major ports of North Africa, conducting trade activities and accumulating gold coins.

Now that the old K regiment has completed the main and side quests, it is natural to hand over this treasure task to the ink wind regiment, so that they can get some gains from it. However, even with the official MT of Luer, Xu Mo was still not at ease, and sent them the MT combination of Max, Hong Jian and Li Ze.

At the same time, worried that this treasure mission might be contested by other reincarnation teams, Xu Mo asked the two stormtrooper captains on the ship, Emilio and Al, to go with him. Only Christina, who was slightly lacking in physical strength, was left behind, which made the red-haired beauty very dissatisfied, and rolled her eyes at him more often.

"Your Excellency, we've found the pirate ship!" Wood followed Azisa into the captain's room from the outside, "I inquired with Azisa, it was a Spanish battleship, and the admiral on board was the red-haired pirate Caterina, who was now wanted by the Spanish government for a lot of money, and ......"

"And?" Xu Mo glanced at Wood and frowned.

"Your Excellency, remember the battleship we met in the sea in the harbor of Amsterdam? That's them! Wood affirmed, at that time, although the two battleships were far apart, he could still see the local features of the battleships with his pupil power, but now he just compared them, and immediately remembered them.

"This world is really small......" Xu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed.

Since this battleship also appeared in Amsterdam, and it was stuck when Blakeney was out of the group, there is a good chance that the little guy was hijacked by this battleship. Even the reason why Blakeney left the team, Xu Mo could immediately guess. The Iron Boy obviously didn't want the old K-regiment to fight with this equally powerful battleship before facing the Temple of the Gods.

"But what does this have to do with Al and them?" Xu Mo's eyes rolled, and suddenly he had a premonition in his heart that it was not very good. The treasure hunt had been on for more than two hours, and judging from the time, they were almost at the location of the pyramid on their camels.

"The pirate ship was also heading for the treasure of the pyramids, and according to the dock workers, they joined forces with another group of Venetian pirates, and the joint treasure hunt team formed by the two sides set off for more than an hour!" Wood and Akisha glanced at each other with a wry smile.
