William then said: "It's not without reason that your Gates family has been notorious for hundreds of years, Mr. Gates."
William's words left Ben Gates speechless. Everyone looked at Ben Gates, hoping that he would refute, but Ben Gates just lowered his head and said nothing. The leader Ian had to ask William: "Mr. Devonshire, can you
Can you tell us why? Maybe it will be useful in finding treasures."
William shook his head with a depressed face and said: "Hey, because of Thomas Gates' selfishness, during the twenty years he quietly searched, some of the participants who originally knew the secret died one after another in those twenty years.
After Thomas Gates figured out that the clues he knew were incomplete and went to find the secret keepers, Sherlock's clue was useless, and the treasure disappeared like this for hundreds of years.
Ben Gates, you are indeed a member of the Gates family. You have found all this, but I am curious how you know that Sherlock is a ship."
Ben Gates looked at everyone looking at him, and he was helpless about the things about his ancestors. He said depressedly: "I found a clue in the letters of Franklin Benjamin and some people. During the Revolutionary War, a ship named
Sherlock's ship, at Franklin's command,
Without any reason, they left the fleet and headed north. The last record of their news was that they disappeared immediately after they resupplied in Dutch Harbor in northern America.
I guess they must have had an accident while executing some secret order. As long as you are familiar with the flow principles of ocean currents, you can understand that the ship will drift in this direction along the ocean currents.
In the past two years, I have been flying back and forth between Point Barrow and the National Archives and Library of the Americas. Finally, I found a diary in a library in Point Barrow. There was an abnormal weather year 40 years ago.
The snow on the island has melted, and some people saw boats passing by.
However, the person in the diary said that he never boarded the ship because their tradition did not allow them to disturb the souls of the dead, so he just left the coordinates and never took care of the ship again."
After Ben Gates finished speaking, he turned to William and said, "So, Devon Hill, how did you find this?"
‘Yes, how did William find this place? It couldn’t be that this guy has been following them!’ Everyone began to speculate in their minds.
Of course, William would not tell them that his grandfather had found the clue. He could only make it up, "In fact, not all the people on the ship died. After the captain died, several crew members who did not know the specific mission rowed a small boat back.
When we arrived at Point Barrow, they left some information and I found it."
When Ian heard this, he immediately asked, "What does the document say? Treasure? Mr. Devonshire."
"Damn treasure, my trip was in vain," William cursed in his heart.
William could only shake his head and said: "I don't know. If I knew, I would have been here a long time ago. You should know what I have done in the past six months. If I have that time, I might as well enter the stock market. I will definitely make more money than the treasure on this ship."
many,
And you don’t want to think about it, this ship is clearly recorded. Sherlock’s load capacity is only 3 tons. Apart from the crew, food and water, how much treasure such a small ship can carry is definitely less than 1 ton.”
When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves: "Yes, this ship is definitely not used to transport treasures."
After thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even if they could find some antiques, they would definitely not be worth much. After thinking about it, Ian cursed in frustration: "Damn it, it took two years and millions of pounds to get it.
If we find such a useless ship and there are no treasures or clues on it, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"
Ben Gates also realized at this time that if it was true as Ian said, wouldn't his family have to spend the rest of their time in criticism?
Shaking his head, he put down the worries in his head and said: "It's useless to think about it now. Let's dig out the ship first. Maybe there are some treasures on the ship."
Now that we have reached this point, Ian can only nod and say to his men: "Let's dig, I can only hope to find some antiques on the ship, otherwise I will suffer a big loss."
After speaking, Ian looked at William and then at the shovel in his hand. William immediately understood that this guy wanted William to dig everything, "Don't even think about it, Ian, I can tell you are from England just by your accent.
Do you think I will dig with you?" Turning to several of Ian's men around him, he said:
"Do any of you want to make extra money? Help me dig for it. I'll give you 2,000 pounds an hour. Otherwise, I'll give 10,000 pounds to the four of you. You can help me complete my tasks." After that, he reached into his pocket and took it from the storage space.
Come up with £10,000 in cash.
When Ian saw his men looking forward to it, he cursed in his mind, 'I hate rich people.' He couldn't stop his men from making some extra money that wouldn't affect the overall situation. £10,000 was not much for him, but for his men
That's quite a lot.
Ian nodded helplessly, while William happily threw 10,000 pounds to four people.
Originally, William wanted to leave directly because he already knew what the clue was in the ship. An aquamarine tobacco bottle was both a clue and a key, but that thing was completely useless to him.
But now that I’m here, let’s take a look first. I still don’t know if the real world is the same as the vague memories in my memory. In order to confirm that there was no accident, William can only get off the boat to see if there is any difference, and he also
I wonder if I can get these people to take the blame for him.
The value of this treasure is too great. If he wants to take the treasure away without any trouble, William has to think carefully about it.
William smiled and said to the bald man who took the 10,000 pounds: "I'm going to take a nap. After digging, go to the snowmobile and call me. What else do you want me to call you?"
The bald man touched his bald head and said with a smile, "Mr. Devonshire, my name is Shaw Fisher, and I am from Devonshire, England."
"This is really unexpected." William glanced at Xiao's bald head with an inexplicable expression. Why was this guy telling him that he was from Devonshire at this time?
"Well, I got it, call me when you're done digging." William knew that now was not the time to speak, so he nodded to Xiao, made a hidden look, and turned around to walk towards his snowmobile.
Xiao, the bald man, understood it without saying anything. He just turned around and picked up the ten thousand pounds in his hand and shook it at the other three companions, "Guys, let's divide the money."
The other three people walked towards Xiao with a smile. Everyone was very happy to get the unexpected windfall of 2,500 pounds.
After sharing the money with laughter, the four of them divided into two people who drove the snowmobile and used the bucket in front of the car to push the snow around the Sherlock. The other two, Ian, Ben, and Riley used shovels.
Digging the snow on the boat.
After more than 2 hours of digging, the Sherlock was finally exposed.
