Chapter 247: The Mystery of the Gold Treasure
Speaking of which, the tough seventh brother lowered his voice, widened his eyes, and whispered to Snake King Erdan: "I said you, a **** young man, can you listen to what I have to say?"
Although Snake King Erdan was so curious that his balls ached, he had no choice but to take a mouthful of crab meat, chew it in his mouth and stammered vaguely, "Then you, you, you tell me."
Brother Seven lit up his big pipe and puffed out a hole in Snake King Erdan's head. Then he continued unhurriedly: "It was 1699. The great pirate leader Jinte was leading his powerful men.
The pirates stopped at the Hispaniola Island in Latin America.
In July of the same year, after they arrived at the port of Boston, Gent wrote a secret letter in black and white to Lord Belomont in Boston, hoping to get the support of the Lord in order to obtain amnesty, and promised to submit a letter to Lord Belomont for this purpose.
Lord Bellomont paid a huge favor of £400,000.
Lord Bellomont made a good verbal promise, guaranteeing that Gent would enjoy complete freedom in the United States. But as soon as Gent and his sailors set foot on land, the guy changed his face and immediately arrested Gent.
Prisoner's prison.
People immediately found a bag of gold powder worth about a thousand pounds, some silver coins, and some other gold items at his residence, but that was all. Until February 1700
On the sixteenth day of the month, the so-called Captain Gent, the leader of the great pirates, was extradited back to London, England, as a prisoner of the King of Great Britain.
Because of his many crimes, this guy spent nearly a year in an English prison and was finally sentenced to brutal hanging for piracy and murder.
However, the authorities were still a bit humane and allowed his wife to go to prison to say her final farewell to him.
During this meeting, Gent quietly slipped a small piece of white parchment to his wife, and then whispered something in a low voice. The guards observing outside immediately noticed the secret exchange between their husband and wife, and immediately
Confiscated that mysterious little parchment ball. On this mysterious paper ball, there were only four mysterious numbers written on it: 44-10-66-18. Therefore, what he left to future generations were numbers full of mystery.
Combo! There are also three broken treasure maps.
This matter has been aroused and spread all over the world for hundreds of years. Our master, Tu Tu Ye, who is far away in our country, was also very concerned about all the developments of this matter during his lifetime. According to the respective analyzes of explorers and masters from all over the world, it was found that
The results are surprisingly consistent, and they all believe that the treasure is hidden on a mysterious island between the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
One day in May 1701, the pirate leader Gent was finally sent to the gallows, and he was hanged alive with the secret that he refused to reveal until his death.
After his death, more and more people began to consider the confusing numbers and legendary treasures he left behind. People kept trying to solve the mystery of Gente's missing treasure. Soon
, someone deciphered the numbers he wrote and thought it was a hint of 44 degrees 10 minutes west longitude and 66 degrees 18 minutes north latitude. According to these horizontal and vertical coordinates, at the eastern end of Long Island in the United States, not far from New York,
You can find a small island called "Gardena".
Therefore, over the years, countless treasure hunters and adventurers, desperate for money or life, have come to this little-known island, hoping to find Gente's treasure.
But in fact, it backfired. Countless treasure hunters either died in maritime disasters or killed each other. Not only have they not found this large amount of jewelry, but most of the foreign devils who participated in the search died. Of course, there are also yellow people.
and black people.
Decades ago, a guy named Palmer bought a strange old sailor trunk with iron hoops in a thrift store.
As for Palmer, he accidentally found a strange small wooden board in the box. He opened the wooden board and a piece of parchment fell out of it.
This time, Palmer made up his mind to go with his friends to find this legendary and mysterious island and open the door to wealth! However, fate ruthlessly played a trick on this treasure hunter, just as he was making tedious preparations for the treasure hunt.
During this period, the ball suddenly and mysteriously died, and it died in an ugly way.
Naturally, his meticulous and passionate treasure hunting plan was aborted. His three treasure maps and Captain Gent's treasure were once again shrouded in mystery. To this day, no one has actually found them.
"Where is the treasure?" Hua Dan asked with squinting eyes.
Seventh Brother: "Based on the judgment of non-mainstream adventurers and land lords over the years, I also believe that it is on a mysterious island between the South China Sea and the East China Sea."
"But we don't have a treasure map! Not even one!" Hua Dan said a little disappointed.
Seventh Brother: "Yes, we men don't have a treasure map, but we can try our luck, maybe we will get some shit luck"! Seventh Brother said, the will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes looked mysterious and unpredictable.
"I think this is weird!" Hua Dan said without confidence.
Brother Qi didn't comment, he just showed a bright smile, which seemed meaningful.
Before returning to the sea, Brother Qi refused to go ashore despite any words. Only the Six Monsters reluctantly walked around the island and found that the north shore of the island is the extremely gentle Gold Coast. This area is full of golden beaches and clear waves.
It keeps coming, making a roaring sound, and repeatedly washes away the fine sand on the seashore.
What surprised them even more was that there were actually thousands of penguins living here, including Magellanic penguins, king penguins, Adele penguins, and horned penguins, all on the beach and in shallow water. Half of them were in the water.
Foraging for food and swimming, half of them stood on the beach and looked around.
Because after all, this is a sea area between the cold zone and the temperate zone. If you go further north for a long journey, you will never see this kind of strange bird that likes low temperature and hates high temperature. When you see the six strange ones, these penguins raised their heads and raised their beaks.
, blinking his little eyes, constantly looking at their every move.
What's even more surprising is that they found some white fossilized remains of ancient penguins in the soil of the shallow green grass on the north shore, many of which were still exposed above the ground.
Judging from the bones, these penguins are at least one and a half meters tall, and their beaks are more than half a foot long. It seems to be more than twice as long as their skulls. They are really long-tongued women, haha.
To this day, scientists have also discovered the fossils of these penguins in this area, confirming that this giant penguin has the longest beak among waterfowl currently known. Its size also shocked researchers.
Even the largest emperor penguins currently living on the earth, which are about 1.2 meters tall, are just "little friends" in front of them.
It's a pity that the Six Monsters didn't know the value of this extinct penguin, otherwise it would have been worth a lot of money if it had been sold abroad at that time! Today's experts have also confirmed that this giant penguin lives in about 36 million people.
Years ago, it has great research value on animal evolution.
Because the tough seventh brother did not go ashore, he missed these precious white-flowered penguin fossils. After being read by the six monsters, they threw them into the green grass, which became historical evidence for scientists to study birds today...
The Six Monsters, who had no special harvest, landed empty-handed. Together with Brother Seven, they hung up the snow-white sails on the mast. Farewelled by the polar south wind, the three-masted ship set sail and sailed toward the southeastern sea, the boundary of the Republic of China.
.
In fact, it is easier to come back than to go back. This long ocean road has deep water and long gorges, and all kinds of unexpected dangers and shipwrecks are unpredictable. The god of death is grinning coldly and viciously, lurking under the ever-changing weather conditions and unfathomable water surface.
