After much effort, Zhuang Rui finally cleared this passage. If it had been done by someone else, it would have taken at least a day or two.
With excitement and speculation, Zhuang Rui stepped into the treasure room gently, as if if he stepped too hard, the treasure would be lost.
Zhuang Rui's move can be understood as an antique collector and archeology student's respect for history. People can learn from history and know the rise and fall. Through the wealth left behind hundreds of years ago, we can also get a glimpse of the social form at that time.
A spot.
However, Zhuang Rui's respect only lasted for a few seconds, and his attention was completely attracted by the gold in the secret room. Looking at the gold on the floor, if a person still has the time to remember history, then there is something really wrong.
.
This small natural cave is about fifteen or six square meters in size, about the same size as a bedroom, and there are obvious signs of digging on the surrounding walls.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a mountain of gold and silver coins, covering an area of about six or seven square meters, and the height reaches Zhuang Rui's chest.
Just these hills of gold and silver took up almost half of the space in the secret room.
In a corner of the cave, there are two boxes, one large and one small. The larger box has been rotted in many places, and the jewelry in the box has also fallen to the ground, exuding a gleaming aura of jewels.
The smaller box is made of pure iron, and is wrapped with a layer of deerskin. It looks like new, without any damage, except that the lock hanging on the box is already rusty.
.
"Damn, you better be careful..."
Zhuang Rui, who was poisoned by the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", was about to take a leap and throw himself into the pile of gold when he suddenly remembered the curse on the pirates in the movie. Zhuang Rui suddenly stopped. He didn't want to fall into the trap at night.
It turns into a skeleton and doesn’t taste good no matter what it eats.
But to be honest, Zhuang Rui didn't believe that he was cursed and turned into a skeleton.
But there are still many things in this world that science cannot answer. Just like those people who died suddenly after entering the pyramids of ancient Egypt, they still cannot give a reasonable explanation.
There is also the Miao Gu that has been rumored for a long time in China's Miao territory. It is also rumored to be a miraculous thing that can plant controlled insects in the human body. Zhuang Rui shudders just thinking about it.
Zhuang Rui took a deep breath and calmed down. He was going to use his spiritual energy to carefully check whether there was anything weird in these objects.
The two boxes can be inspected slowly. Zhuang Rui's attention was first focused on these gold coins. He wanted to see if there was anything else under these gold coins.
"This...this is a golden anchor?!"
When Zhuang Rui's gaze penetrated the small mountain of gold coins, his whole person became sluggish, because he discovered that a gold anchor, the size of an ordinary anchor, was lying quietly at the bottom of the gold coins.
“Klaus’s treasure!!!”
After a short period of silence, Zhuang Rui was like a volcano erupting. He rushed towards the hill made of gold coins and kept pushing the gold coins away with both hands. His target was the gold anchor at the bottom.
Although Zhuang Rui is not very proficient in foreign history, pirates are an inevitable topic in the development of many countries, and pirate stories are very interesting, so Zhuang Rui has a good understanding of the history of pirates.
Speaking of this golden anchor, we have to mention it from the 14th century. In the second half of the 14th century, piracy activities in Northern Europe were rampant. Countless "free" pirates went their own way, and almost all of them came from the ports of Northern Europe.
At that time, a savage pirate team who was familiar with the sea was enough to make all ships traveling in the ocean flee. On the coastline of Northern Europe, almost no ship engaged in maritime trade could be forgiven by them after resisting.
At that time, under the strong desire of Queen Margaret of Denmark to expand, countless Norwegians and Swedes died, so the residents of Stockholm had to turn to pirates to resist the Danish invasion.
In order to support the Swedish port city, the Duke of Mecklenburg issued a proclamation in the name of the Swedish King: "All pirates who commit robbery, theft and arson against the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, but at the same time provide assistance to Stockholm."
People can obtain charters in Wismar and Rostock."
In this way, the behavior of piracy was almost legalized. This charter issued allowed many northern pirate captains to break through the frontier and provide necessary food to the besieged and hungry residents of Stockholm, thus creating
The pirates' so-called "food brothers" alliance.
After the battle, with this "legal document", the pirates not only robbed Danish ships, but also began to rob every ship engaged in trade at sea. The participants of the "Food Brothers" even began to rob their organization
To develop into a "national" form.
The full name of Klaus in Zhuang Rui's mouth is Klaus Stoltebecker. He is one of the boldest pirates in the "Food Brothers" alliance.
Klaus was born in Wismar, Germany. He commanded fifty ships all year round to plunder in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. To some people, he was a terrible sea wolf, but in the eyes of others, he was a "sea wolf".
Robin Hood, who robbed the rich and then gave away the wealth to the poor.
When the pirate ships of the "Grain Brothers" became more and more unscrupulous in the North Sea, King Richard II of England and Queen Margaret of Denmark deliberately united to fight against piracy and jointly fight against the enemy.
In the summer of 1401, when Claus was sailing against the wind in a zigzag pattern on the sea where he often sailed, he was ambushed by an English ship. After a fierce naval battle, the pirates were finally defeated.
In this battle, a total of 73 pirates, including Klaus Stoltebecker, were thrown into prison and 40 pirates were killed. Subsequently, the pirate captain was sent back to his native Germany for trial.
There he was sentenced to death by beheading.
One day in October 1401, after being captured, Claus and his 73 pirate brothers were taken to Glassbrook.
When the noose was about to be put around their necks, the pirate leader made a condition to the Hamburg parliamentarian: He promised to come up with a gold anchor chain as beautiful as a garland and countless gold coins, plus donate a gold anchor to Hamburg.
The church bell tower was used to redeem the pirates' money.
However, this request was flatly rejected by the officials. The heads of 73 pirates fell to the ground. Later, their bloody heads were nailed to the wooden stakes in rows for public display.
The Hamburg parliamentarians were convinced that no matter what means they took, they would always find Stoltebecker's treasure. However, it turned out that these parliamentarians were wrong. To this day, all the properties of the German pirate captain are still missing.
.
Of course, only the hiding place of the treasure is unknown, but the contents of the treasure owned by Klaus have already been spread throughout the world.
The most authentic legend is that in order to transport as much gold and silver as possible, Klaus arrested a blacksmith, melted a large amount of gold into a gold anchor chain, and hid it in the mast.
With the death of Klaus and his pirate brothers, no one knows where his treasure is hidden anymore. More than six centuries have passed and it has still not been found, and the story of the famous golden anchor
, and it has been circulating in the world.
So after Zhuang Rui saw the golden anchor, he immediately guessed who the owner of this pirate treasure was.
After seeing this golden anchor, Zhuang Rui went crazy. He no longer cared about the legendary curse and went straight for the gold coins.
For nearly seven hundred years, this treasure has been searched for by countless people but could not be found. Unexpectedly, it would appear on this deserted island.
Countless gold coins were flying in the air, and then fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Zhuang Rui could no longer care about those things. His hands were already grasping the golden anchor.
"Come out!"
Using both hands, Zhuang Rui forcefully pulled the huge gold anchor out of the mountain of gold coins.
"Mom, how did they get here?"
Looking at this golden anchor, which was the same size as an ordinary ship, Zhuang Rui's eyes were full of surprise. With his arms weighing hundreds of kilograms, he could only pull but not lift up this ship, which had chains made of gold.
anchor.
After groping for a long time on the golden anchor with a silly smile, Zhuang Rui turned his attention to other places. In fact, if we really talk about it, the value of this golden anchor is not as good as the luminous pearl on the wall.
But because this thing is a legendary object, in the words of the antique industry, it means that it has been passed down in an orderly manner. This is a work of art and can no longer be measured simply by the value of gold, so Zhuang Rui looks at it differently.
After leaving the pile of gold coins, Zhuang Rui walked to the two boxes, but the big box was too rotten. As soon as Zhuang Rui touched it lightly, the whole box fell apart, and countless pearls inside rolled out.
.
"Damn, how can you walk like this?" Zhuang Rui felt that he had made a mistake. Wasn't he making himself uncomfortable?
Most of them were pearls and gemstone necklaces, many of which had lost their luster due to their age. After a cursory glance in the large broken box, Zhuang Rui lost interest.
"Anyway, I came here, let's get something as a souvenir..."
Zhuang Rui found a gold necklace as thick as chopsticks inside. On the pendant of the necklace was a thumb-sized skull made of pure gold. It looked a bit mysterious. Zhuang Rui reluctantly took it out and hung it around his neck.
