Everyone walked into the cargo warehouse with high expectations, but the greater their expectations, the greater their disappointment. The cargo warehouse was full of gunpowder barrels and other debris like the ones above. Ian and the others used sled hammers to break the barrels and open them to take a look.
"Damn, it's all gunpowder." Ian broke several barrels one after another, and finally poured out all the gunpowder in the barrel unwillingly, but there was still nothing inside.
William ignored these barrels. After entering, he scanned them with his mental power and knew that there were no treasures in the cargo room.
I breathed a sigh of relief, everything was similar to the memory in my mind, and now it seemed that nothing unexpected happened.
Just when I was about to return to the ground, I heard Ben Gates say: "Why did the captain hold this gunpowder barrel before he died? There must be something wrong with this barrel."
After speaking, Ben Gates took out the small powder barrel from the dead captain's hand. After breaking it, he found a box wrapped in grease cloth after a few digs.
Gates hurriedly said to everyone: "Guys, look what I found."
Ian and others turned their heads and looked happily at the box in Gates' hand, while William smiled and stood watching the show with his hands folded.
The box was made of wood and had some copper carvings on it. When Gates opened the box, he saw a milky white pipe inside.
Riley looked at the pipe in Ben Gates' hand and asked anxiously: "How much is this thing worth? Is it one hundred thousand dollars?"
Ian looked helplessly at Riley, the antique idiot, took the pipe from Ben Gates, stared at it with a smile on his face, inspected it and said, "This is a pipe made of meerschaum, very well preserved.
, the style is also very beautiful, and you can still sell it at a good price if you meet someone who likes it.”
After hearing what Ian said about the selling price, Riley asked excitedly, "What is seafoam? Seeing how happy you are, is this thing worth a million dollars?"
Ben Gates said speechlessly: "God, why can't you understand what Ian said? If this guy was really worth 100,000, Ian would have told you long ago. This thing is not made of gems or anything like that. At most
It’s worth tens of thousands of dollars.”
William looked at the pipe in Ian's hand. This thing looked as beautiful as Ian said. He asked curiously: "Can you show it to me?"
Ian carefully checked several times and found no clues before saying: "This pipe is initially estimated to be 300 years old. Although it is not a precious stone, its carving is still very good. It would be a good gift to the elders who smoke.
It’s just too much.”
After speaking, he handed the pipe to William with a smile. He thought that if William, a rich man, could like it, he might be able to sell it for a good price. Small money is money, and it could just make up for his losses.
After taking it, William pretended to examine it carefully for a moment and said to Ian with a smile: "How about $50,000? I do have an elder who smokes."
When he heard that William had really made a bid and told him that it was a gift for his elders, Ian thought to himself that if you don't kill him at this time, he immediately quoted the price and said: "One hundred thousand, this is a 300-year-old antique, and it is so well-preserved.
Not many.”
William rolled his eyes and returned with a smile: "Then you'd better take it back. I can buy a gem-like antique pipe with one hundred thousand dollars."
When Ian saw William returning the pipe, he hesitated and said, "It's $80,000. I think the price is very reasonable."
William was already feeling happy at this time. He looked at Ian pretending to be helpless and shook his head, "Okay, forget it, ten thousand or twenty thousand, just keep it as a souvenir."
Seeing that the transaction was about to be completed, Ben Gates said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Ian, I remembered. In my memory, this pipe is the only aquamarine pipe that has been preserved in such a good condition. If it goes up for auction, it may be sold for dozens of dollars."
Ten thousand dollars, if you look carefully there are marks on the wooden handle of the pipe, maybe a famous person has used it."
After saying that, while William was looking at the wooden handle, he grabbed the pipe from William's hand, held the handle with both hands and twisted it hard, and then unscrewed the handle.
After seeing this, Riley immediately shouted loudly: "It's over, Ben, you have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars."
William had already realized at this time that what this guy said was simply to divert his attention so that he could grab the pipe from his hand.
I sneered in my heart, "If you want to die, I'll make it happen." He quietly took a few steps back, put his hands behind his back, and quickly formed several ice spikes. Just as he was about to launch them at Ben Gates, he suddenly heard the mute system in his mind.
Suddenly the alarm started beeping.
"Warning, warning, if the host kills a lawful good or lawful neutral person without being threatened or harmed, the host will be punished by losing 10% of his mental power, and the punishment period is one month."
For God's sake, William was surprised when the system came out at this time, and he quickly dissipated the ice spikes on his hands behind him.
The system specially highlighted the words threat, harm and kill in red letters in the warning column, which made William quickly understand the meaning of the system.
This does not allow William to deliberately kill the Virgin Mary and ordinary people. Of course, other than those who threaten his safety or want to harm him, William will be free to do so with others.
Thinking about it, it seems that none of the people I killed before were holy mothers or ordinary people. Just when I was about to kill Ben Gates this time, the system issued a warning.
Well, since ordinary people are not allowed to be silenced, let's use these people as the scapegoat head office. Once these people steal the manifesto and destroy it directly, there will be no further trouble.
Everyone did not expect that they had just escaped from the gate of hell, and their thoughts were all on the pipe in Ben Gates' hand. Ben Gates said with confidence: "Don't worry, Ian, with this we are one step closer to the treasure."
After speaking, he wiped the pipe handle with the gunpowder on the side, and then asked Riley for a notebook.
He took the pipe and rolled it on the notebook, and the Templar logo and a paragraph immediately appeared on the paper.
Everyone looked at Ben Gates in surprise. They didn't expect that there was such a secret in this pipe.
Ben Gates looked at the notebook and read the words: "The legend has been written, the extraordinary influence has been produced, the code of silence has not yet appeared, fifty-five people wrote it with the stylus, and Meloche cannot harm it."
"This is a riddle, let me think about it, I have to think about it," Ben Gates said, clapping his hands and walking around.
William looked at everyone looking at Ben Gates expectantly, waiting for his answer. Now very unhappy, William directly mocked: "God, are you all idiots? You don't understand this?"
After hearing William's words, several people looked at William in surprise, but considering that William was a super genius mentioned in the newspaper, they thought it was normal for William to figure it out so quickly, so they all looked at William in silence.
"Idiot," William cursed again, "I don't understand it's so simple. The only thing signed by fifty-five people is the Declaration of the Founding of the United States. The original name of ps is the Declaration of Founding of the United States."
In other words, this map was written on the back of the founding declaration with invisible potion."
After hearing this, these people suddenly realized that this is it. Only this declaration will be carefully preserved by people, and no one dares to make any mistakes on this declaration.
But this is troublesome. They can't blatantly walk into the National Archives to search, and no one dares to believe that there is a secret consent behind the declaration for them to experiment on the declaration.
"Okay, the clues have been found, but none of us can make up our mind on that declaration. It seems we should break up. Guys, I don't want to mess with Lao Mei for a throne that I don't know is true or false.
If I have that time and energy, I might as well make more money in the stock market, but if you have any ideas, give me a call and tell me, I wish you good luck."
All William needs to do now is wait for them to steal the Proclamation of Founding.
