Chapter 627: Gold Reserves
"Xiao Ling, your kick is too light. ”
Ji Shengdian said as he beckoned, and the eighteen golden men stood up again, and became even taller than just now.
"Third sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Ji Aojian's face became whiter than paper, "You have a lot, spare me." ”
Ji Lingxing was also taken aback, "Third sister, there's no need to be so ruthless, right? If we beat him half-through, we still have to take care of him for the rest ......of his life."
"Where did you think of it?" Ji Shengdian was very surprised, "Do you think I'm going to use these gold elements against Xiaojian?"
Ji Lingxing was puzzled, "If you don't deal with the little swords, what are you calling them out again?"
"Now, bring the boat over. Ji Shengdian said lightly, "Let's take these golden people away." ”
"Ahh
Take away, take away, take away, take away......
The ninth sister and the tenth sister were stunned for a long time, and finally understood, "How much gold does this have to be, and it can be taken away, isn't it true?"
"Why isn't it true?" Ji Shengdian took it for granted, "These are important gold reserves, we will bring them back to China and establish a gold standard, and the **** currency will have a place in the world in the future." ”
Ji Aojian took a breath, "Third sister, you actually came to Avalon Island to move gold?"
"Yes. Ji Shengdian nodded generously and admitted, "I'm here to get the treasure." ”
Ji Lingxing only felt dizzy in front of him, "The third sister came to a fairyland, had the ability to cast spells, and then summoned many golden people to take them away." It turns out that it can still be played like this. ”
"Ann, Ann. Ji Shengdian smiled and said, "The ancients." This is what it means to enter the treasure mountain and not return empty-handed. ”
"Then third sister, if you come to Avalon Island a few more times. Isn't it just a constant flow of gold?"
"No, no, no. Ji Shengdian shook his hand and said, "I can't conjure gold out of the air, there is a treasure on this island, so I can summon the gold man." ”
"So there is a treasure?" Ji Lingxing asked, "Then where did the gold on Avalon Island come from?"
"Hmm. Ji Shengdian replied, "These are the reserves of the First French Empire. ”
When Ji Aojian heard this, he said in surprise, "Could it be that this is left by that emperor?"
"Yes, that's what he left behind. ”
"But he has only been in power for more than a decade. How is it possible to hide so much gold?"
"Look at what you said, what does this have to do with the length of the reign?"
Ji Shengdian quoted scriptures, "Li Zicheng only entered Beijing City for a few months, and he was able to leave a whole cave of King Chuang's treasure." How can that person rule the continent for so many years, what's wrong with leaving such a batch of gold?"
"Yes, that's right," Ji Aojian sighed...... "It was the last tsar, who was overthrown by the revolution because of the collapse of the economy, and was able to secretly transfer six hundred tons of gold reserves." ”
Ji Lingxing asked again, "Then how did the third sister know the whereabouts of the treasures of the First French Empire?"
"It's very simple. The third sister must have gone to the island in the Atlantic Ocean and rescued people. Ji Ao Kendao, "It's just that I'm curious about the gold that he hid." It must be used to make a comeback, why are you willing to give it to the third sister. ”
"A comeback requires the right political conditions and environment. It's not just financial resources. Ji Shengdian said with a smile, "That one is also old now." I'm not in the mood to toss any more European empires, and I'm lucky. I just found a place to fly up early, and these should be my rewards. ”
"He has ascended?" Ji Aojian thought of another historical celebrity going to other worlds, and couldn't help asking, "When did it happen?"
"It was the first two days. Ji Shengdian said leisurely, "Didn't the six great masters all leave through the passage of Stonehenge?"
Ji Aojian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said eatingly, "Could it be the sixth one who secretly followed?"
"That's right, it's him. ”
"I'll go. Ji Aojian stroked his forehead with one hand, "I actually passed by him, I didn't ask for an autograph, I haven't even seen a face." ”
Ji Lingxing didn't understand what pity there was, and continued to ask, "When that person was the emperor, Avalon Island was already occupied by the undead, how could he hide this gold?"
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Ji Shengdian said, "The undead will not be interested in gold, silver and jewelry, as long as they hide near the shore, and when they want to use it, bring some holy water to open the way, take it and leave." ”
"Well, he's got a lot of brains. ”
"Since there's no problem, you two hurry up and get the boat over. ”
"There's a problem!" Ji Aojian hurriedly said, "Third sister, these eighteen golden men add up to a few hundred tons, and the carrying capacity of our sailboat is not enough, and there is no way to load them all." ”
Ji Shengdian said disapprehantly, "Throw away all those decorative cannons." ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough. ”
"Alright, alright. Ji Shengdian waved his hand, "When the ship comes, I'll increase the tonnage." ”
The ninth sister and the tenth sister were stunned again: How can this increase?
They sailed the ship here, and when they came ashore, Ji Shengdian began to chant the incantation.
I saw countless jet-black wreckage of grass and trees on the island, rising with the wind, turning into a black whirlwind, surrounding the hull of the ship.
When the whirlwind cleared, there was an ebony ship as shiny as iron, several times larger, and the carrying capacity of more than 1,000 tons was obviously no problem.
"Wow!" Ji Lingxing said in surprise and excitement, "The power of magic is really amazing, this kind of productivity seems to be more advanced than our time." ”
Ji Aojian also nodded convincingly, "The world where spells are popular should also be a world where civilization is prosperous. ”
Then, the eighteen golden men began to walk towards the black boat step by step, grabbing the side of the boat to climb up.
"Wait a minute!" shouted Ji Aojian, "their bodies are too heavy to crush the ship's planks. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Ji Shengdian didn't care at all, "This ship is very strong now, and it can't be crushed." ”
Ji Ao said, "How can it not be crushed? It's just a wooden boat!"
"It's a wooden boat, but it's gloomy wood. ”
"Gloomy wood?"
The so-called gloomy wood is a sunken wood that has been buried in the ground for a long time and carbonized. The original physical properties have changed dramatically, becoming simple and dignified, and hard as iron. This kind of wood is extremely precious, and the folk are known as "even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as the ebony side". Dignitaries and scholars all regarded gloomy wood furniture and artworks carved from gloomy wood as heirlooms, treasures of town houses, and things to ward off evil spirits. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, gloomy wood became the first choice for emperors of all generations to build palaces and make coffins.
Ji Shengdian explained to Jiumei, "Actually, this gloomy wood is the intermediate state before the plant is carbonized and turned into coal, which belongs to half coal and half wood." ”
The little girl said curiously, "Coal doesn't seem to be very valuable, why is gloomy wood so precious?"
"Because the structure is different. Ji Shengdian said, "If you think that diamond is also composed of carbon atoms, you should understand." ”
"Oh. ”
"Third sister, even if this gloomy wood is half coal and half wood, it will take tens of millions of years to form. Ji Aojian said with some disbelief, "Why is this island only occupied by the undead for decades, and the original grass and trees can become gloomy wood?"
"Hey, don't you understand, Necromantic Qi is an extremely rich energy that can greatly speed up the charring of animal and plant corpses. ”
"There's such a thing? I've only heard of a great acceleration of decay. ”
"Anyway, you don't understand the world of magic. ”
"Don't blame all the irrational phenomena on magic!"
"Little sword, don't you understand this?" Ji Lingxing said, "Avalon Island has been civilized for thousands of years, and it has been even longer since grass and trees appeared. Isn't it very normal that dead wood has accumulated on the island for thousands of years, forming some gloomy wood?"
"Uh-" Ji Aojian suddenly realized that he was an idiot again.
Ji Shengdian said in a high-spirited manner, "Look, these golden people have already climbed into the boat, and we can also go." ”
"Don't. Ji Aojian shouted, "Gloomy wood is so valuable, anyway, the draft is not satisfied, why don't you take some more?"
"Okay, then let's put in some more wood. ”
The ebony ship finally set sail, and Ji Aojian saw the eighteen shining golden men lying on the deck, as well as the gloomy wood piled up, and suddenly felt that he had lost his ability to speak.
Ji Lingxing looked at him with his cheeks raised, "Little sword, what is your expression?"
"I felt like I had suddenly made a big windfall, and I didn't know what to say. ”
"At this time, you have to keep a normal heart. The little girl said, "Didn't the third sister praise you for your good mood, you have to be calm." ”
"I'm actually very calm. Ji Aojian thought for a moment and asked, "Third sister, when you return to the European Beihai, you can't use mana, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"At that time, these eighteen golden men will not be able to act on their own, each of them has a weight of more than ten tons, how can we carry the ship?"
"That's right, you were right. Ji Shengdian rolled up his sleeves, "I'll break them down into standard gold bars now, and box them all." (To be continued.) )
