Chapter 174: Clues in the Diary - Golden City
Looking at the microphones stretched out around and the reporters who kept coming around, Lin Yi decisively pulled out the key, quickly opened the window, supported his hands, and his whole body instantly jumped to the roof of the car like a spirit monkey, his legs danced quickly, like a motor, two jumps jumped out of the roof of the car, jumped seven or eight meters, and suddenly rushed out of the circle of reporters and drilled back to the manor, and the security guards reacted instantly, standing at the door ready to block the next impact.
"Damn, Chinese kung fu. ”
"This isn't Foshan Shadowless Feet. ”
Lin Yi's smooth movements really shocked the reporters at the door, especially Lin Yi's jump, which was simply amazing.
Lin Yi's madness also scared everyone, this is a super-rich man, if something goes wrong, then these reporters can't shake and walk around.
The reporters couldn't catch up with Lin Yi who was far away, so they could only silently watch Lin Yi go away.
Lin Yi threw the key in his hand to a security guard, and glanced at the reporter behind him with trepidation, the combat effectiveness of these guys is really too strong.
"Hey, boss, I'll just say we'll meet again in a while. Sean looked at the returning Lin Yi and smiled.
"Sean, why didn't you tell so many reporters out there!"
Lin Yi complained.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that there were reporters outside the manor? You don't remember anything about me!" Sean said with an innocent face.
Lin Yi was stunned, there was really such a thing.
"What are you doing here, don't you go to work yet!" Lin Yi couldn't find any rebuttal for a while, and then became angry.
"Hey, boss, I'm on shift today, so I don't have to do anything. Sean smiled.
"......" Lin Yi turned around and went back to the villa.
Now that he couldn't go out, the other took out the diary and read it again.
Lin Yi didn't look at the original of this diary, although the original of those diaries was well preserved, but after hundreds of years of immersion in the water, the handwriting could no longer be seen, and Lin Yi spent a lot of energy to restore these handwriting. However, in order to make it easier to analyze, Lin Yi made another copy of these, after all, this kind of book made of parchment is a little troublesome to read.
This diary records the origin of their gold.
March 1st, fine.
Today, Raymonds came to me, he was a down-and-out nobleman, I thought he was trying to borrow money, but he told me a huge secret.
He told me that in ancient times, there was a very powerful Inca empire centered on Peru in South America, and all the palaces and temples in the capital were decorated with a lot of gold and silver.
Actually, I've heard this legend too.
It is rumored that at the beginning of the 16th century, the Spanish overthrew the Inca Empire and plundered countless gold and gemstones, when the Spanish commander Francisco Pizarro heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was transported from Manoa, ruled by a chieftain named Patti, and that there were mountains of gold and silver treasures, Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to the Golden City, located deep in the Amazon jungle.
However, in this vast primeval forest, where every step forward meant fear and death, there were beasts and snakes, savage cannibal tribes, the threat of losing their paths, expeditions that were disappointed or unaccounted for, and finally, Francisco gave up on the idea.
Later, the Spanish, Portuguese, English, Dutch and Germans heard of the Golden City, and everyone wanted to grab a fortune, so they flocked to the Amazon jungle.
Among them, a Spaniard named Caesada, led an expedition of about 716 people to the Golden City, and after paying a terrible price of 550 lives, finally discovered the Golden City and the legendary Golden Lake in the Kandina Marga Plain, and found the emerald gems of immeasurable value, but this is only a small part of the treasure that the Golden City is difficult to estimate.
These people immediately became plutocracy.
Raymonds told me that his ancestors were members of the Caesada's adventure party, and he brought a diary, saying that it recorded their route to the Golden City at that time, and hoped to pick up my ship and go with me.
The Raymonds family is very mysterious, legend has it that the ancestor made his fortune after getting some treasures, and this diary is very long, at least a few decades old. I've read the content, and it's indeed a clue to the Golden City.
And this guy's family property is almost lost, so he needs money. Ramones told me that there was a lot of property left in the Golden City.
April 10, cloudy.
I agreed to Ramones' offer and spent a month recruiting and preparing the crew.
On the 11th, it was cloudy.
We went out to sea and it wasn't a good weather because there were big waves.
April 21. The weather was sunny.
We encountered the sea monster, and dozens of long black shadows appeared around the ship, which were ten or twenty meters long. God forbid, they did not attack us.
May 6th.
After twenty-six days of sailing, we finally arrived in Peru.
On the twelfth, we entered the forest, which is said to devour life.
Eighteenth. We walked along the winding river and there were a lot of crocodiles. There were four hundred of us with us, but twelve had already died, all of them in this dangerous forest.
The good news is that the road is exactly as written.
On June 2, according to the diary, we were not far from the Golden City, but forty-two of our companions died.
June 6. We were only one step away from the Golden City, it was raining heavily, and we were ready to rest for the day, but that afternoon, we met the demon. That devil killed thirty-six of us at once, and the nearly thirty-meter-long body was unstoppable.
O God, why don't you bless your believers because of my greed?
On the 8th, we finally saw this golden city, which is simply the masterpiece of the gods, the real golden city, the city made of gold.
We have a myriad of gold gems here, and we've only scavenged some of the outer areas to get an immeasurable amount of gold, and we've reached the limit of what we can handle.
Our biggest takeaway is probably the golden statue erected in the square, it is so beautiful.
Before leaving, we went to this real golden city, a golden castle, but the door was closed and we couldn't open it, and in the end we didn't go in, but I am sure that there must be a lot of treasure in it.
On the 2nd of July we left the forest with three hundred and four men, taking with them a great deal of treasure, and as we left, we exchanged some gold for some gold and silver coins from some Spaniards.
As long as we return to China, we are rich.
On the 13th of July, we had been drifting for several days in a row by storm, and we still don't know where we have drifted.
The diary wrote that this was broken, and I thought that the next thing would be a storm shipwreck.
