However, to Chu Nan's surprise, Claude paid no attention to Hilton's words. He continued to report to King Stuart as if he hadn't heard anything: "Your Majesty should know that since the death of the Pirate King Nicholas,
The powerful pirate army was leaderless. The powerful pirate ship fleet that once dominated the vast Eastern Ocean fell apart almost overnight. After a long period of fighting among themselves, the pirates became weaker and weaker and hid in the East China Sea.
On some of the nameless isolated islands, most of them only dared to intercept passing ships at sea, and did not dare to invade the harbors protected by garrison. Except for the Red Skull Pirates who later became rampant for a while, everything has been peaceful in the past hundred years, but why today?
These pirates suddenly started operating on a large scale in our offshore waters again, and they dare to openly attack our ports?"
"Then...Uncle...Claude...uncle, do you know the reason?" King Stuart asked.
I saw another voice sneer: "Humph! Those pirates feel that they have been hiding for too long. Maybe they just suddenly got itchy on a whim and want to see our glorious defenders. Is President Claude a little paranoid?"
?”
Chu Nan's eyes turned to where the voice came from, it was the new marshal - Yuri.
It can be seen from Claude's ignoring Hilton's words that he is a hardliner and does not belong to Hilton's side. He only heard him sneer and retort: "Your army has always been blind. Every action is not because of
Our Adventure Guild only started after hearing about the commotion. And according to what I learned from several rogues who had wandered to the islands where pirates were hiding, there was an evil force behind these pirates controlling them, and this evil force
The power of the pirates comes from the legendary Treasure Island. And I think Marshal Yuri should have noticed that the pirates' incursions were organized, with four or five ships operating together. This is not true.
Like a spur-of-the-moment act.”
Treasure Island? Chu Nan frowned and suddenly felt that the name of this place was very familiar. He searched his memory carefully and immediately found the information about this Treasure Island. This information was from the lost sword that he had originally obtained.
What he got in that mission was that Treasure Island was where the pirate king Nicholas buried the wealth he had robbed for many years as a pirate. As for the lost sword he got, it happened to be Nicholas's saber.
The whereabouts of Treasure Island have finally begun to appear! Chu Nan’s eyes suddenly sparkled. If he guessed correctly, the incomplete navigation chart in his hand was the navigation chart that Nicholas divided into four to lead to Treasure Island.
Now, Chu Nan has obtained three pieces, and is only missing the last one. However, this last piece has not appeared, and there is no news. If he had not heard the news about Treasure Island today, he would have
Xue Burian had almost forgotten those three incomplete navigation charts. Now he heard rumors about Treasure Island from Claude again, which made Chu Nan couldn't help but have a strong premonition. This fourth navigation chart
The picture should appear soon. Even if it doesn't appear, these NPCs will definitely find a way to know the whereabouts of Treasure Island, for sure!
Chu Nan began to concentrate and listened to the conversation between Claude and Yuri word by word.
"Hahaha..." Yuri laughed. I don't know why, but Chu Nan seemed to have some uneasiness hidden in his laughter. He said coldly: "President Claude, Gold and Silver
Do you believe the legend about Treasure Island? Has anyone been to Treasure Island? Even Nicholas’s men never knew the whereabouts of Treasure Island. Maybe it was just that Nicholas made it up before he died because he was afraid that the world would forget him.
It’s just a deceptive trick.”
"Really?" Claude snorted.
Then, King Stewart spoke: "Yuri Yuan... what Marshal said makes sense to a certain extent. Does Uncle Claude have... any evidence about the existence of Jin... Treasure Island?"
Yuri immediately answered: "That's it, show us the evidence, otherwise your words will not be convincing at all just because of a mythical legend that may not exist."
Claude said calmly: "Unfortunately, I happen to have evidence."
Yuri and Hilton frowned at the same time, especially the former.
In the hall, Huo Wu Jiutian and Jue Aotian were a little confused. At this moment, they could neither speak nor leave directly. They could only stand awkwardly, but it sounded like the smell of gunpowder was very strong, and the matter of pirates
Although they had heard about it, this matter had nothing to do with them directly and they had not studied it in depth.
The happiest person was Chu Nan, especially after hearing what Claude just said.
"Then please provide evidence, President Cloud!" Yuri said solemnly.
"Among the legends about Nicholas and Treasure Island, one is generally accepted, that is, he once divided the nautical chart of Treasure Island into four parts and gave them to his four subordinates for safekeeping."
Damn it! Could it be that...could it be...that I really guessed it! The sky has eyes! Chu Nan is so excited that he almost screams,
"Do you have the nautical chart to Treasure Island?!" Yuri frowned, "This is impossible. The nautical chart to Treasure Island has never appeared. How could you have it?"
Under Chu Nan's hot eyes, he saw Claude reaching into his arms and taking out a piece of yellowed rolled parchment.
That’s it!
Although Chu Nan did not see the specific content inside the parchment, his intuition told him that this parchment was the fourth incomplete navigation chart he was looking for.
"Quick...quick, Uncle Claude, let me see it." King Stuart jumped down from his golden throne excitedly.
"Ahem!" Hilton coughed heavily.
The next second, Stewart seemed to realize his gaffe, and immediately returned to his original timid expression, sat upright, and returned to the golden throne.
"Claude, hand over the parchment to me. Let me test the authenticity of the parchment before passing it to Your Majesty for inspection." Hilton stood up from the silver seat and walked towards Claude.
But it was Claude who stuffed the parchment directly back into his arms, which made Hilton face flashed with anger and scolded: "Claude, what do you mean?"
"I don't think it's necessary for His Highness Hilton to hand over such a small matter to you, right? I have the hands and feet. Besides, given my status, I don't think I can get close to His Majesty the King without going through you, His Highness Hilton, right?"
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder in the hall was strong, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
