"Treasure map?" Xu Mo's eyes widened, looking at the parchment roll spread out on the table.

This tattered parchment scroll is an irregular triangle depicting parts of the Mediterranean Sea and its coast. The land part depicts an ancient city, with a hill to the south and a small box on the top of the hill that radiates light.

"This is what I found inside Lilu's gold coin box, and the Dutch beauty used this treasure map to pledge five thousand gold coins." Serna looked at the old K-group members in the captain's room and smiled bitterly, "Maybe she thinks that with this mutilated treasure map, it is impossible to find the so-called treasure at all, or maybe she has already looked for it a few times and has given up now." ”

"Then you also let her use this waste paper to mortgage five thousand gold coins!" Max muttered under his breath.

The German lieutenant colonel had now learned about the prices of the seafaring world, and that five thousand Dutch guilders was not a small amount. For seafarers who have been begging for a living at sea for many years, 5,000 gold coins are equivalent to a dhow, which can be used for offshore trade.

"Feel this treasure map yourself!" Serna unceremoniously gave Max a roll of the eye.

Xu Mo's heart moved, he stretched out his hand and pressed the parchment scroll, and suddenly his face changed, and a prompt message appeared in his soul mark.

"Samsara 228, you have found some clues to King Solomon's treasure, and a special competitive mission has begun."

"Competitive Mission: King Solomon's Treasure (Tier B). King Solomon established a powerful and wealthy nation, hoarded large quantities of gold, silver, and jewelry, and hid them in mysterious places in case of emergency. Among these treasures are certain treasures of the gods and goddesses, and are revered as sacred relics by the humans of the seafaring world. ”

"Hint: This competitive quest will issue rewards based on the completion of the task, the number of holy relics owned by the treasure is temporarily unknown, and any holy relics obtained will be awarded additional rewards in the space."

"Warning: This treasure map is not complete, and the overall treasure map is roughly divided into two to five parts. The two space teams that hold the treasure map will mark and refresh the holder's geographical location on the proven world map every three calendar days. Once the treasure map is discarded, the location callout will disappear. ”

"Note: The number of Samsara teams currently with a treasure map is one, and the difficulty of this quest may increase as the number of teams holding the treasure map increases."

The rest of the old K-group also stepped forward and touched the treasure map, and after receiving the mission information, everyone fell silent. Judging from the experience of the Spartan world, the B-level competitive mission is not impossible to complete, but the current situation of the old K regiment is not suitable for this task.

Can you find King Solomon's treasure with this treasure mapIn addition, just being marked by the location of the holding team in the space will bring them a lot of risk, after all, they also have a great enemy temple next to them.

"Judging by the sea and land shown in this treasure map, this ancient city should be Jerusalem! Could it be that the hill south of the city is Mount Zion, the holy place of both Judaism and Christianity? Dinah hesitated.

"If it's Mount Zion, then contact King Solomon's treasure, this box at the top of the mountain...... It can't be that thing, right? Max's face changed suddenly, and a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.

"What, doesn't this box represent treasure?" Xu Mo asked a little confused. As an atheist Chinese, he really didn't have much research on the history of Jerusalem and Christianity.

"No, BOSS! If there is any overlap between the nautical world and the history of the earth, then this small box does not necessarily represent a treasure, it may be a holy relic! Serna stared at the treasure map and said with some seriousness, "Even the Orientals should have heard of it, the golden ark of the covenant, which holds the sacred object of the stele of God's Ten Commandments!" ”

"Holy Relic Golden Covenant ......" Xu Mo was taken aback, he suddenly understood a little, why did Serna exchange five thousand gold coins for this treasure map. For Westerners like Max, Serna, and Dinah, the influence of Christianity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whether they have faith or not.

"Keep it, we're the only team with the treasure map anyway." Xu Mo sighed, "However, there is one thing you have to keep in mind, once this competitive mission affects our battle with the Temple of the Gods, I will immediately destroy this treasure map so as not to expose our location to the Temple of the Gods. ”

"BOSS, we understand this. However, if this treasure map has been marked in such detail, why does space still remind us that it is only a broken map? Everyone looked at each other, and Dinah asked, puzzled.

Xu Mo pondered for a moment and explained, "There are many possibilities, King Solomon's treasures may not all be stored in one place, doesn't the space indicate that the number of holy relics is unknown?" Jerusalem is a religious holy city, and it is possible that in addition to the Golden Ark of the Covenant, there will be other holy relics, such as: the Holy Grail, the Shroud, and the spear of Langnukis. Of course, it is also possible that the treasure is buried beneath Mount Zion, and other treasure maps have clues to the underground treasure trove. ”

"At the moment, only one of our teams has a treasure map, and this competitive task has a B-level difficulty, could it be that we will encounter other obstacles in the process of treasure hunting?" Serna groaned for a moment and said with a frown.

"I guess so! Don't forget, Serna, since the treasure map can be obtained by Lilu, it is naturally possible that it can also be owned by other plot forces. Not to mention the rest of the treasure map, even the same treasure map should have a copy. Dinah said with a smile, "In addition to these, the treasure may also have guards and traps, and perhaps the B-level difficulty is only a preliminary estimate of space!" ”

"Okay, don't think about that, I'll keep the treasure map, and I'll talk about it later!" Xu Mo picked up the parchment roll and threw it into his personal storage space, and at the same time turned his head to Serna and asked, "After Lilu handed you the gold coins and treasure map, did you say anything?" ”

"Oh, yes! The Dutch beauties let you take good care of Camille and Emilio, who are now on their way to Copenhagen to dispose of their cargo before heading back to Amsterdam. When they return to Amsterdam, Lilu will help you gather information, which will then be handed over to the local Swedish intelligence agency, and then passed on to other ports in the Mediterranean via carrier pigeons, where we can get it at the seaports along the Mediterranean coast! ”

"BOSS, in fact, you only need 20,000 gold coins this time, which is a bit of a loss!" Serna shrugged her shoulders and continued, "I saw a shipload full of whale oil and a whole box of ambergris on their ship, and it looks like they must have just returned from a North Sea whaling ship. ”

"Hehe, with the Vasa, the gold coins are of limited use. If it weren't for the morale of the sailors on the ship, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to fight! Xu Mo smiled and shook his head, "Except for Max, everyone else should go out!" By the way, let Barron, Tiereli, and Christina come to the captain's quarters. ”

"Admiral Alfred, did you call us?" After the members of the old K-regiment went out, the three of them quickly entered the captain's room.

"Well, this naval battle, although there was only a small episode, was our first battle, and I decided to reward all the sailors on board." Xu Mo nodded to the two of them, "Tie Lilie, there are fifteen thousand gold coins here, one-third of which can be used as trophies for the crew of the battleship, and you will distribute them." Five for each of the ordinary sailors, 10 for the helmsman and the sail liner, 20 for the alternate officer, 50 for the regular officer, and 100 gold coins each for you and Christina. ”

"Admiral, you are so generous!" Tie Lilie said with a smile.

The crew of the Vasa was not really pirates, and as a royally funded privateer, they received only one-third of their privateering income. In fact, this victory has nothing to do with the vast majority of sailors, at most it can only be regarded as experiencing the atmosphere of actual combat.

There were more than 500 people on board the Vasa, and each sailor only had a few gold coins, and if he divided them, he would almost need thousands of gold coins. However, with the purchasing power of the Age of Sail, these few gold coins were enough to feed ordinary people for a month or two.

"Am I the same as the Iron Lily?" Christina blinked.

"Well, you're the same as Tie Lilie!" Xu Mo glanced at Christina and said with a smile, "I was about to tell you that now you are the stormtrooper captain of the Vasa. ”

"Humph! Is it now? Lord Alfred, I am very dissatisfied with your distrust. Christina wrinkled her nose and snorted coldly.

"Huh!" Xu Mo smiled awkwardly, "Then what do you want?" ”

"I think it's necessary to have a good swordsmanship with you, so as to increase your confidence in me as a stormtroopers!" Christina's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

"That'...... Well, we'll ...... when I'm free Compare notes? Xu Mo pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly.

On the bridge just now, he saw Christina's beautiful volley stab, and then he didn't pay any more attention because of the fight with Emilio.

"Admiral, if there's nothing else to do, then we'll go out first." Tielile gave Christina a look.

"Well, okay, remember to give the sailors a little rum in the evening, and everyone celebrates today's victory together!" Xu Mo nodded, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and use gold coins and alcohol to knead these Viking sailors into a whole as soon as possible.

After Christina and Tie Li were listed, Xu Mo's face sank, and he turned his head to look at Max and Barron, "You two tell the members of the Musket Team that there is no reward for the Musket Team this time, and you are not allowed to participate in the celebration at night!" ”

Hearing Xu Mo's stern words, Barron and Max were strangely not dissatisfied, Barron even had a look of relief on his face, and said respectfully: "You have not punished the musket team is already magnanimous, and the members of the musket team dare not ask for a reward again. ”

"If you understand, get out!" A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, "Tell everyone in the musket team that if they are derelict in their duties, they will roll back to Uppsala, I don't need a group of honor guards who can only be used as decorations." ”

"Yes, Admiral!" Barron responded with his head held high, but a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
