This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 98 Edward's Treasure
He was penniless when he went to sea, but he was already rich when he returned.

There are more than 4 units of crystals. If other players know about it, I am afraid that everyone will get pink eye disease.

The hero altar, the crystal device and Alice's unit technology tree, the crystals needed for these three items are only about 1 units.

In addition to the 1 units, the extra 3 units of crystals are good choices whether they are exchanged for other resources or used as strategic reserve resources.

Calculating the time, Raymond is now estimated to have packed the first batch of goods traded with Ocean Pipe and is ready to go.

If he moved a little faster, he would probably be on his way to the Crescent Islands by now.

The extra crystals may also be traded for other high-level resources such as mithril and fine gold.

It can be said to have many uses.

In addition to these crystals, I also got two treasures from the secret realm - mana pendant and power talisman.

Both are 4-star treasures, needless to say how precious they are.

The core of the recruitment battalion of the three armies, Tidal Sea Spirit and Deep Sea Ranger.

These two types of arms are extremely rare even in the outside world, and they are rare.

Finally, there is the profession of the tide lord, which gave Ji Chen powerful magic power all of a sudden, and became the most powerful legal system unit in the territory.

With a raised hand, there was a violent storm and stormy sea.

Calculating the time, it has been eight or nine days since I went to sea.

The territory's food reserves can last for 20 days, so there is still plenty of time now.

Ji Chen thought for a while, and took out a parchment map from his backpack.

【Treasure Map】

【Level】: 2 star

[Effect]: Records the location where a great pirate named Edward buried his treasure
【Want my treasure?go find it!I put all my treasures there]

This treasure map was caught from the sea by fishing before. Since I haven't gone to sea, I put it in my backpack for the time being.

Since there is still plenty of time, I just happened to find this treasure by the way.

An unknown island is marked on the treasure map, but the overall description is very vague, and it can only be roughly recognized that the island is located in the Western Mediterranean, and there are no other useful clues for the wife.

If other players get this map, they will probably be at a loss.

But Ji Chen is not an ordinary person. As early as when he got this map, he had a vague premonition that he could find this place.

Regarding this strange feeling, he couldn't tell the reason.

After thinking about it, I always feel that it is a hidden function of the lord's talent.

Ji Chen didn't think too much about it, and soon stopped worrying about it.

It's not surprising that I, who is favored by Mother Ocean, have such a strange ability, right?

The question is quantum mechanics.

The direction of advance was roughly determined, and the three-ship formation headed by Xinyue began to advance at full speed.

The sailing process is very boring.

Bored, Ji Chen also studied the cannons on the pirate ship a little bit.

It is almost the same as the artillery of the Blue Star Navigation Era, and it also uses solid iron shells and percussion charges.

In terms of lethality, this kind of artillery is not even comparable to the few water arrows of the Shanghai Elf, but because of its superior range, it can be mounted on warships on a large scale.

However, this world does not only have this kind of low-level artillery. It is rumored that those principalities and kingdoms in the mainland are equipped with some even more lethal alchemy artillery and magic energy artillery.

However, these cannons are expensive and are strictly prohibited from sale. Therefore, there are not many warships equipped with alchemy cannons in the Mediterranean, and only the main fleets of principalities and kingdoms will be equipped with them.

After leaving the Silver Islands, the three warships put on white sails, removed the fancy decorations, and disguised themselves as three ordinary merchant ships.

this morning.

Driving on the route, they suddenly saw a formation of two ships on the horizon.

The draft was deep, and it was clearly laden with cargo, without any frigates around.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen was overjoyed.

Decided to implement the looting plan immediately.

Is that a boat?This is fat sheep!

So immediately let the three warships disperse, raised the black skull sail and chased after them.

Seeing the sudden appearance of three heavily armed pirate ships, the two merchant ships panicked, turned around and started to escape.

But how can two merchant ships full of cargo compare with a powerful pirate ship?

He was quickly overtaken and caught between three pirate ships.

At first, the guards on the ship wanted to fight to the death, but when they saw the densely packed muzzles protruding from the pirate ship, they immediately lost the will to resist and stopped the merchant ship.

Everyone consciously gathered on the deck, squatting obediently one by one.

With the sound of several claws being stuck on the side of the ship, hundreds of pirates boarded the deck of the merchant ship from the pirate ship and completely controlled them.

Looking at the fierce and vicious pirates around.

All the caravan guards and sailors were very worried.

The goods must be lost today, let's see if the pirates can save their lives.

But looking at the sails of these pirate ships, they are the famous Black Skull Pirates in the Western Mediterranean. I heard that they never leave anyone alive, they rob fire and kill people.

All of a sudden, their foreheads were dripping with sweat and their faces were pale.

But at this moment, they suddenly saw these pirates lowered their heads in awe.

Looking back, a handsome and majestic man, leading a woman as beautiful as a goblin, came from the wooden board connecting the two ships to the deck of the merchant ship.

Wherever he was in sight, no pirate dared to look him in the eye.

What surprised them even more was that dozens of Naga warriors followed behind the man.

Tall body, ferocious bone blade, snake body dragon head.

Looking at their cold eyes is like looking at a dead person.

Immediately, they felt a chill in their hearts, and a surge of sadness couldn't help gushing out.

It's over, I'm going to leave my life here now.

A few timid ones even cried in fright.

Seeing someone crying suddenly, Ji Chen couldn't help but froze.

What are you doing, you are crying before I have done anything?

Not understanding the thinking of this group of people, Ji Chen curled his lips and asked, "Who is the owner of these two ships?"

A thin middle-aged man stood up tremblingly, "Your Excellency, I am the caravan consul of these two ships."

It frightened the child to stutter.

Ji Chen secretly sighed, "Don't be nervous, I only rob money but not life, as long as you cooperate well, none of you will die."

As soon as these words came out, everyone wept with joy.

Even squatting on the ground very well-behaved, looking like a good boy.

Regardless of these people, he looked at the caravan consul, "What are these two ships carrying?"

When the caravan consul heard that he didn't need to die, he cheered up and replied quickly.

"My lord, one of the two ships is loaded with cotton, and the other is loaded with flax. They were originally intended to be shipped to the Western Continent."

Cotton, linen?
In his memory, these two things seem to be materials used to make cloth and clothing.

Alas, it just so happens that the Territory is very short of decent clothing materials, and these two boat materials can solve this problem.

And it doesn't need to be sold elsewhere, it is directly digested internally.

It can only be said that this wave of grabbing is just right.

"Then I took all the cotton and flax, you have no objection?"

"No, it's my filial piety to you, my lord."

Seeing that the caravan consul was so knowledgeable, Ji Chen also patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Then with a big wave of his hand, the pirates began to move the merchant ship's cotton.

Bags of cotton were loaded into the pirate ship, which finally filled the empty cabin.

The consul of the caravan was puzzled when he saw that the pirates only carried this ship's cotton but not the other ship's flax.

"My lord, why don't you remove the linen from that ship?"

Ji Chen glanced at him, "I'm too lazy to move that boat anymore, so I'll just take it with me. Anyway, if you squeeze together, you should be able to take this boat back."

"."

In this way, the two parties happily reached a "deal".

The people of the two merchant ships were crammed into one of them, and the waterline was almost as good as when it was full of cargo.

Ji Chen also kindly left food and fresh water for them, enough for them to return home.

Amid a burst of attention, the merchant ship set sail staggeringly.

Gone with endless sadness.

Ji Chen, who has completed a deal, is in a good mood right now.

This wave got two ships of goods, and there was no damage at all. It couldn't be better.

He is a kind person.

You can see how heavy these two merchant ships are, they must be a heavy burden.

He is helping to reduce the transportation burden!

Ok?You say this is proper piracy?
But what does this have to do with me, isn't it the Black Skull Pirates who robbed?What does it have to do with someone else?
You see, the ship originally belonged to the Black Skull Pirates, the pirates on it originally belonged to the Black Skull Pirates, and the sail was also a Black Skull.

So the equation is established, and the ones who rob are the Black Skull Pirates!

Thinking of this, Ji Chen secretly laughed.

With a wave of his hand, let the fleet move on.

Because of the addition of a merchant ship full of cargo, the speed of the fleet sailed a lot slower.

What was originally expected to be a two-day journey was delayed to three days.

Along the way, I encountered many other merchant ships, but most of them were protected by frigates, or equipped with a lot of artillery.

In order not to affect the speed of progress, Ji Chen did not take any further looting, and went to the destination honestly.

At noon on the third day.

Finally arrived at the island where the treasure map is located.

This is an island with towering mountains.

They first circled the entire island to observe the terrain.

The island is in a concave shape, the main part is almost occupied by mountains, and the edges are almost all steep cliffs. At the end of the depression is a gentle beach, which is the only place where the entire island can land.

Unexpectedly, this recessed place is very spacious and the water is deep enough for four ships to berth here.

But for the sake of safety, he still parked all the boats on the offshore sea, and landed on the beach in a small boat.

Behind the tidal flat is a dense forest.

Ji Chen took out the treasure map and looked at it.

The place marked above is in the depths of the island.

With a wave of his hand, the army began to march forward in formation.

This island is very primitive. If there is no treasure map, no one would have thought that there are pirate treasures buried here.

Going deep into the woods, I gradually saw traces of people.

Cobwebbed dilapidated house with rough decorations, bones tied to stakes, tattered pirate flag
These remaining traces indicate that this place was once a pirate's den.

Could it be that this is the lair of the pirate Edward?

Through the woods is a narrow river valley with steep rock walls on either side of the river bank.

And the treasure location is at the end of the valley.

Seeing that there is nothing worth noting here, Ji Chen has no leisure to explore the secrets hidden here.

Now he only wanted to find that treasure, and then take it away.

As soon as I entered the valley, I felt the temperature suddenly drop.

There is a stream flowing in the valley. The clear and clean stream flows slowly from the upper reaches. The midday sun shines down from the sky, reflecting a piece of golden light in the water.

Under that piece of golden light, there is a place that is particularly dazzling.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand.

The downstream flow of water was blocked, revealing a golden round object under the shallow river bed.

This discovery made the pirates who followed him exclaim, and ran over to pick it up.

After carefully looking at it, he was overjoyed and handed it over to Ji Chen.

"My lord, it's gold coins!"

Looking at the gold coin in his palm, a smile appeared on Ji Chen's face.

Sure enough, there was no mistake. Maybe Edward accidentally dropped the gold coin in the river when he was burying the treasure.

It appears that the treasure is at the end of this valley.

With this discovery, everyone's morale was lifted and they accelerated their pace of progress.

One after another, scattered gold coins were found in the stream.

This made them believe in the authenticity of this treasure even more, and they couldn't help but get excited.

Among them, these pirates are the most excited.

It was learned from them that Edward was not an ordinary pirate.

"Edward was a great pirate who terrified all merchants in the Western Mediterranean a hundred years ago. Even now, his legend is still circulating in the Western Mediterranean."

"The Blackbeard under his command was the most powerful warship in the Western Mediterranean at that time. I don't know how many merchant ships were robbed."

"For more than ten years, he has accumulated inestimable wealth by plundering, and he even dared to attack the warships of the kingdom. It is precisely because of this that he angered a kingdom and was sent an entire main fleet to encircle and suppress it. "

"It is said that although Edward escaped during the siege, he was seriously injured and returned to a hidden island before he died, where he buried all his plundered wealth."

The pirates described it vividly.

Listening, Ji Chen couldn't help but feel a little interested. He didn't expect such a background story.

That being the case, I hope this treasure will not disappoint him.

Proceeding along the valley, after two hours, they finally came to the end.

It is a circular valley surrounded by towering rock walls.

On the left is a waterfall that flows straight down, which is the source of the stream.On the right is a dilapidated house with vines and weeds all over the eaves.

And on the rock wall in the middle, there is a rock building inlaid.

In the center of the building is a stone gate.
