After more than ten days of treatment, when the white people were about to recover, on a dark and windy night in one month, a riot of black slaves broke out! They snatched the muskets of the white sailors, and although they could not shoot, they left the musketeers without weapons to defend themselves! Fortunately, a few white sailors who had not slept at night had discovered some clues, warned them in advance, and let them run into the depths of the continent with His Excellency the merciful Baron, and finally saved their lives. But two fast merchant ships were robbed by those ungrateful black slaves!

After a few days of hiding in the jungle deep on the mainland, everyone returned to the bay in horror to find it empty.

"These damn black slaves! If it wasn't for Drake who taught them how to sail, how could this have happened?! The first mate on the big merchant ship scolded resentfully.

"If Drake hadn't taught them to sail, we'd all be killed by them! If they don't have a ship, where do you think they're going?! The captain of the merchant ship said helplessly.

The first mate's face turned blue when he heard this. Yes, if it weren't for the fact that these black slaves would have sailed so that they could return to their Cape Verde Islands instead of running deep into the mainland. I'm afraid that these people can't escape the natives who have lived in the jungle since childhood! Thanks to Captain Drake for teaching them how to sail.

After the completion of the work, Zhang Fan and the book demon rode in a Willis amphibious vehicle to chase the Hawkins fleet along the coast. They took the captains of the two merchant ships with them, while the others told them to stand by and wait for rescue.

After a week, Zhang Fan drove the strange car Willis to catch up with the fleet at a place called Freetown, a very good deep-water port, although there was only a simple dock, but it was enough for Hawkins' fleet to anchor. The flotilla has been here for five days. A shipment of gold is waiting to be transported from the depths of the continent!

When Hawkins heard that the slaves had escaped, his anger nearly overturned the entire fleet! Of course, he couldn't blame Zhang Fan's team, because more than a dozen black slaves under the baron also escaped! And in order to save these black slaves, he almost died.

"You fools! There are so many muskets that can still let these black slaves escape! It's a bunch of pigs! No, dumber than a pig! Those chimpanzees are so much better than your who only stuff rum into their stomachs! Hawkins's droplets sprayed on the faces of the two captains who came back to report the news, and they were pitiful that their legs were still weak when they had just recovered from a serious illness.

"The whole musket team was infected with the terrible plague! If it weren't for Baron Shifan's medical skills, we would all die on the African continent! Those chimpanzees were more adapted to the viruses than we were, and some of them recovered on their own! Rats and flies can spread viruses, but they rarely get sick themselves! The captain tried to justify himself, putting the blame on the plague.

"Saving those filthy chimpanzees is a big mistake! It's better to let them stink and rot on the beach! Hawkins didn't realize that he was asking Zhang Fan to heal those black slaves.

"But it was your idea to cure those...... "The merchant captain retorted in a low voice, and the Hawkins, who almost didn't get out of breath, exploded, which added fuel to the fire!

Drake in the cabin saw that the situation was not good and sneaked away, and my cousin was probably going to blame himself for teaching those black slaves to drive the boat, right?! Drake craned his neck and ran to Zhang Fan's boat, only to run into Akon coming towards him.

Akon grabbed Drake's shirt and asked loudly, "What kind of caravan are you?!" It's so great for us Barons! Didn't you boast that the black slaves were bought and sold at a great profit, without any risk? Thankfully, our baron didn't buy a lot, and our ship didn't stay there, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford to sell you! ”

"It was definitely an accident!" Drake swore with a curse, "I promise to make up for your losses!" Listen to me Akon the big butler, the gold in this place is very cheap, we can buy some more......"

"Gold?" Akon lets go of Drake.

In the past few days, he has been waiting for news from Zhang Fan on the ship, and he and Xuanyuan Star Yoda didn't even get off the ship, and handed over all affairs to Drake to take care of. After meeting Zhang Fan who had just come back today, he was worried about whether Hawkins would suspect him, and when he met Drake, he made a preemptive strike. Unexpectedly, Drake was even more weak than him, which made Akon breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Mr. Akon, gold has no feet and will not run away. It can also be used for ballast cargo, and the ship is more stable! Drake looked around at the wooden people around him, put his mouth to Akon's ear and muttered a few words.

"Diamonds?!" Akon exclaimed, feigning surprise. He has such an amazing memory, how could he not know that this reality Shijie belongs to the specialty of the Sierra Leone region - diamonds!

Drake quickly covered his mouth and said softly, "Don't let people know, the diamonds here are all raw ore, but I know a diamond buyer in Antwerp, and he has the means to find the most Haode craftsmen to process for you...... Know that diamonds are the most beautiful of all gemstones! If you're looking for a dragon, it's going to be a must......"

"The flotilla goes further and you reach the 'Ivory Coast', which is rich in African ivory, if you don't like it. There is also the 'Gold Coast' in front of it, which is full of gold and diamonds...... And the dazzling ruby sapphires, although most of them are raw ore, but I think you'll love it......"

"Raw ore?" Akon groaned.

"Yes, raw ore! So not many people know, and the cheap ones are like picking them up for nothing......" Drake said softly, eager to show his loyalty to his owner.

Akon nodded, and said to Drake, "I've made a note of this, but the Baron doesn't need a craftsman from Antwerp, he has his own master gemstone...... Oh, don't you tell anyone about it......"

"Lord Baron has his own master of gemstones?! What a surprise! Drake was surprised, "Of course, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." ”

Akon waved his hand and sent Drake away. Immediately walked into the cabin and summoned the Goblin Yoda. The little guy came at once, "What did you say, Akon?" There's a gem mine here! "Goblins are an offshoot of the dwarven pygmy clan with a unique talent and a deep obsession with mining and gem working!

"Diamonds! African diamonds! You should have heard about it, right?! Akon pulled out a handful of gems from the fanged dragon's lair, "These are the ones that the fanged dragon got in Africa. Just now Drake revealed a piece of information to me, this place has a lot of rough diamonds. From today onwards, we are going to consume those blacks, and we must ......"

Yoda jumped to his feet and interrupted Akon, "Didn't you tell me soon?!" Be sure to find those ores! What are we waiting for! He dragged Akon and ran out.

The Goblin's gemstone identification ability is much stronger than his other abilities! Any stone in his hand, he only has to touch it, smell it, and know what it is. Sure enough, there are primary diamond mines here, and goblins have found some diamond primary ore from the bazaar of the indigenous people. He was annoyed that he had wasted five days in the cabin!

Perhaps it was the strong fortune of Zhang Fan and the Book Demon that brought good luck to everyone, and on this day, the gold that the Hawkins fleet had been waiting for for five days finally came out from the depths of the continent. Although there are Muslim countries on the African continent, they are generally very backward, and the roads in the jungle are rugged, and transportation is very difficult.

And even more fortunately, Goblin Yoda, in the cart pulled by the African elephant transporting gold, found a gray stone used to hold the linen cloth, which turned out to be a piece of diamond ore! Although separated by a thick stone shell. The goblin's keen mineral perception still made him smell the lovely smell of diamonds!

"It's a big diamond with a lot of purity!" The goblin summoned Akon, "I can even feel it calling me!" What a beautiful and pure gem! ”

The black Muslims who were carrying the gold didn't care when they saw a little monster clinging to a large rock in the ballast cloth, but just kicked the goblin and the stone far away.

Goblin Yoda hurriedly ran back to the ship with the diamond ore in his arms! In its small cabin, take a small hard hat with a miner's lamp, take out some tools, and start thinking about the ore. Akon also rushed to hear the news, and the two guys were busy in the cabin for most of the day, and Akon finally saw a bright light flickering in the faint light of the goblin headlamp......

…………

"Where did you get the stones for the ballast cloth?" Akon, under the translation of the book demon, inquired about the black man who was transporting the gold.

"They can't tell......" the bookdemon translated the black man's words to Akon, "these should be discarded ores, and if you like, there are plenty of ...... in the workshops"

"What ore?" Akon's heart lit up.

"Of course, it's a precious stone...... the black man took out a few pale green, pale red and white gems from his coat pocket, and handed them to the rich man from the open sea, hoping that these gems would sell for a good price.

The goblin on the side pulled Akon's pants and said: "These are peridot and rutile, and in later times, rutile is used for welding electrodes, which is not of much value, and the output is very large." ”

Akon's eyes rolled, "These beautiful looking transparent gemstones, I don't know if they can be used to coax the Western Dragons." ”

"Well, aren't there many of these gems in the fanged dragon's lair......" the bookdemon laughed, "but diamond is produced in the same ore as cheap olivine and rutile, which is formed from volcanic eruptions from the earth's crust. It's just that the kimberlite that produces olivine and rutile is shallow, and the kimberlite, which produces diamond, is volcanically erupted from the deeper crust and encased in these shallow kimberlite ores. These natives don't understand and think that they are all the same gems. But this time we may have a good diamond-producing kimberlite tube in Yujian......"
