"No, of course we will not break this rule." After hearing Mr. Lambert's accusation, the leading priest immediately defended, "Our Church, the Goddess of Trade and Wealth, will never break these recognized rules.
I just want to ask, apart from His Majesty’s statue, have you found any other special extraordinary items?”
"In addition to this statue, there is also a gauze garment that can create a large area of ordinary mist." The priest of the Agricultural Church next to him said. "But I can confirm that the gauze garment cannot belong to your church because the pirate group is robbing you.
The church was already famous throughout the sea area for the fog created by that piece of clothing."
"Of course, of course." said the leading priest of the Church of Trade and Wealth. "I mean, apart from these, have you found any other extraordinary items?"
"Can you please stop playing riddles?" Mr. Lambert seemed a little angry at this time. "Can you describe what you are looking for in detail instead of asking us vaguely like this?"
"Because we don't know what was lost?" the priest of the Church of Trade and Wealth said with a wry smile, "The thing was lost in a utility room of ours that had not been cleaned since it was established.
We only found that the door had been pried open. From the traces on the dust, it looked like someone had taken something from inside. However, because there was no inventory, we were not sure whether something was really lost. Now we are looking for
You are just asking."
"In the name of the gods, we will make a list for you of all the extraordinary items we captured in this battle. You can see if there is anything you want in it." After finishing speaking, Mr. Lambert took out the paper.
I started writing with a brush, and from time to time I asked the priest of the Agricultural Church next to the Lawrence River for supplements. Because there were not many extraordinary items seized this time, I only used half a piece of paper to write down all the seizures.
"Indeed not." As soon as the note was finished, the priest of the Church of Trade and Wealth took the note and read it carefully. However, he read it several times and did not find what he wanted.
At least he still trusts Mr. Lambert in terms of treasure appraisal, because the priests of the Church of Knowledge can be regarded as the top group in this regard. At least it is impossible when it comes to appraising such high-end extraordinary items.
Things like mistaking things happen.
"It seems that the pirates may have just moved the items in the warehouse, but did not take it away. They may also have hidden the treasures in other places." The priest of the Church of Trade and Wealth nodded seriously after putting down the note.
He said: "But the statue that can welcome our Lord back this time is already very good. I shouldn't expect too much."
"So what if we can find your lost wealth in the future?" Lawrence asked in a voice at this time, because he remembered the seized navigation information. Although he took a quick look at it on the return ship and found that it was not in it.
I found some words related to treasure hiding, but I was also a little doubtful about some of the voyages.
"I think you may have found something like navigation notes, and think there may be pirate treasures." As a clergyman of the Church of Trade and Wealth, the leading priest knew about Lawrence when he opened his mouth to speak.
What to express. "But what you may not know is that real pirates are different from pirates in novels. They basically don't hide treasures."
The piracy industry is carried out at the same time as maritime trade. From a certain perspective, the two are interdependent and competing with each other. This entanglement has been throughout the history of maritime trade. Therefore, the priests of the Church of Trade and Wealth
He knows more about pirates than most pirates themselves.
These priests seemed to be in a good mood because they had welcomed back the statue of the god. So after seeing the puzzled expressions of Lawrence and the others, they took the initiative to introduce the specific situation about the pirates to them.
Pirates in this era are generally divided into two types, one of which is related to various forces. This type of pirates is well-equipped and well-trained. They often just deal with things that are inconvenient to deal with openly for those countries and forces.
.So they can be regarded as the navy in the dark, which is not the scope of today's discussion.
The Killing Fog Pirates belong to another type. They are criminal groups sailing on the sea. The participants are either coolies who were coerced into it, or they are a bunch of scum.
It is safe to say that there are a lot of contradictions hidden within such a team. It is difficult for each member to trust others, and violence, power and the desire for ill-gotten gains are the only bonds that bring them together.
.
Hearing this, Lawrence nodded in agreement. Because when he was searching for loot after the war, he discovered that there was a huge difference in the concept of preserving private wealth between the members of the pirate group and the crew of his own ship.
For example, in the captain's cabin of the Enterprise, there is a large safe that is divided into countless small spaces. Every crew member is happy to keep their valuables in this safe to ensure the safety of their wealth when they go to sea.
, and was not worried that the captain guarding the safe would take the wealth for himself.
On those pirate ships, every crew member would hide their wealth in an inconspicuous corner of the ship or carry it with them, and they would not dare to trust other people on the ship. This was also confirmed by questioning the prisoners afterwards,
Many prisoners accidentally hid their money and others saw where they hid it. As a result, all their wealth disappeared after they woke up. Naturally, in such an environment, it was impossible for those people to hand over their wealth to
The captain keeps it.
On the other hand, although the benefits of piracy are not low, the risks are also recognized. According to some statistics, the average time for a pirate from boarding the ship to death is only three and a half years. Therefore, they often have little savings.
It is customary for most pirates to squander the money as soon as they dock in port after getting the money, eating, drinking, and gambling.
Because of these two factors, pirates often don’t have much wealth with them, and naturally it is impossible to create a pirate treasure chest. More importantly, for pirates, they have wealth in their hands without spending it.
But hiding it is a very abnormal thing.
"However, there are always exceptions to everything in this world." After briefly introducing why real pirates rarely hide treasures, the leading priest of the Church of Trade and Wealth finally concluded. "For example, this pirate ship
If the chief is a fallen black priest, then he may have hidden treasures that are not suitable for carrying around somewhere. But this can only be regarded as a private treasure cache and has nothing to do with the pirates."
"Then what if we really find his private treasure cache?" Now that the words have been spoken, Lawrence is no longer so covert in his insinuations. "What if we really find the treasure from
Where are the treasures that have been lost from your treasury?"
"If you really find it, it means that you have just received the favor of our Lord at that time." The leading priest of the Fortune Church said with a smile. "At that time, whether you are willing to hand over that thing to us or not,
Whether you get a reward from us or keep it for yourself is the will of the gods, and we will respect your ideas."
"It would be great if this were the case." Lawrence was very satisfied with the other party's answer. This meant that if he really found the treasure, he could just put it into his pocket instead of having to spend a lot of effort to find the treasure.
, but suddenly someone popped up and said that this thing was from his home, a terrible situation.
