Reborn As a Pirate

　　The expedition to the sea cave is over.

　　 Although the process was a bit tortuous, thanks to Noya calmly taking away most of the sailors, not only did they have no money, on the contrary, they also made a lot of money.

After public weighing, the expedition team recovered a full box of 94 gold objects and nearly two hundred ancient gold coins, with a total weight of 64.52 kg, equivalent to £8814 in alloys. According to the previous contract, Lorraine generously distributed this The harvest is directly priced at 10,000 pounds, and the boat is jubilant.

　　 This is an expression of reciprocity.

　　 During the retreat of the sailor team, something that moved Lorraine quite a bit.

When the cave collapsed and the coral snake abandoned the fluorescent hole, everyone knew that when the battlefield changed drastically, they were grateful for Lorraine’s courage after condescending. The first thing they rescued was not gold, but the captain’s symbol in their hearts. The weird ballista stepped under the throne by Inge.

　　 When they retreated, they took this half-ton weight, which seemed worthless, and even the old ship outfit that no one knew if it could still be used...

　　 It is precisely to carry this antique, they missed the opportunity to carry gold.

　　 Two boxes and buckets of gold were full of Dangdang. They only grabbed one box, and the rest was swallowed up by the rushing waves, and flooded into the deep cave hot spring that was infested with big snakes and was perilous.

　　 This heavy kindness is enough to allow Lorraine to take the initiative to share more profits.

　　 review and summary.

　　 Two sea cave expeditions in succession, 125 people accepted the sharing agreement, 33 sailors participated in the expedition, 15 people were killed, 4 people were injured, the losses were huge, and the gains were huge.

　　The harvest of the expedition includes the Macaw, which is priced at 3,000 pounds, the ancient gold, which is priced at 10,000 pounds, and the ancient ballistas that have not been verified by Karen and the monitor lizard skins that have not been made into equipment. They are not evaluated.

　　 In this way, the income that needs to be shared reaches 13,000 pounds.

　　According to the previous agreement, each sailor who signs the contract can get 20 pounds and 16 shillings.

　　The sailors who participated in the adventure received an additional 78 pounds and 15 shillings, which belonged to the risk.

　　 There is also a pension. The pension for each expedition victim is 81 pounds 3 shillings, and the comfort pension for the injured is 20 pounds 10 shillings.

　　All the dividends are here, and the living people can get up to 140 pounds, which can be called rich overnight.

　　 Noya and Pierce issued a payment slip to each sailor, and once they returned to Southampton, they could submit the payment slip to the General Chamber of Commerce at any time.

　　 As for the dead...

　　 Their wealth and relics will be sent by the General Chamber of Commerce to their testator, and they will pay their respects and greetings. This is the obligation of the employer.

　　How much did Lorraine get from this expedition?

A route to the New World, a Brig-type frigate that can be used for business after repairs, and ancient gold vessels of up to eight thousand eight hundred pounds worth of unknown value are calculated according to the standard of one to fifty. It also reached four hundred and forty thousand pounds.

　　Of course, the actual income cannot be calculated in this way.

　　Things are rare and expensive.

　　The collection market for ancient gold ware is so big. If these gold wares are put on the market in large quantities, they will only become worthless in a short time.

　　 This discounting process may take up to ten years or even longer.

　　 And in this process, there may be many gold objects that Lorraine will use as gifts in exchange for opportunities, and the actual cash proceeds will have to be discounted in half or even 30%.

　　 A 30% discount, 130,000 pounds, is also a very profitable sale.

　　 These money will become the start-up funds for the Drake Chamber of Commerce Fish Leap Dragon Gate, and will be the most precious gift left to him by the ancestors of Lorraine on this mysterious island of legend.

　　 After three days of rest, Lorraine returned to the long ship ruins with his own seafarers with a heart of gratitude, and glued his own Viking oars to the mast of the long ship.

　　 On the oars is written in Old Icelandic:

　　 [The ancestor of the whalers, the king of wolves, Inge. Annason lay here]

　　 [His treasure lies in Nootong in the sea cave, if you want, please sacrifice your life at the altar]

Karen looked at the direction of the sea cave rather unwillingly: "Captain, there are tens of thousands of pounds of gold! That big snake was seriously injured, maybe it has been poisoned by sulfur at this moment, you really don't think about sending a few people into the water. Tan Tan?"

　　 "It's too late." Lorraine said a Chinese sentence softly.

　　 Karen was taken aback: "What did you say?"

　　 "This is an old Eastern proverb, which means that when facing wealth, you should sensibly obey the Lord's arrangements and don't let greed blind your eyes."

　　 "The ancient Oriental can't see tens of thousands of pounds, and there are gold objects with a history of thousands of years!"

"Isn't that great? Yemengade guards the endless treasures, and the dead souls of pirates are hidden deep in the bottom of the water. This is like the true legend of Nootong. The great whaler deserves such a home, Inge. Nelson deserves such a home." Lorraine smiled faintly, "By the way, what did that ancient ballista say?"

　　 "Fantastic!"

　　 Lorraine raised his eyebrows with interest: "Listen to your tone, does it really work?"

"It's more than just usable!" Karen waved his arms excitedly, "Did you know? Its material should be some kind of whale ribs, with fine threads carved on it, and it is impregnated and infiltrated with molten metal through a special process to change it. In addition to the material properties, this is the top alchemy technique!"

　　 "Alchemy?"

"It's lost alchemy!" Karen panted heavily. "This skill makes the ballista immortal for thousands of years, and its hardness and toughness are extraordinary. I heard that it was hit by a large snake and hit four times. Pound gun, but no trace of collision was found at all. I tested the tension of the crossbow arm, and as long as it is fitted with a suitable string, it can shoot out 300 meters stably, and the distance is amazing!"

　　 "Immortality, tenacity... and alchemy..."

　　 Lorraine frowned and understood for a long time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and decided to treat this ancient weapon as a memory metal formed by some chance coincidence. Anyway, the arrow it shoots is still the same, roughly the same meaning.

　　 He nodded and asked, "What is it called?"

　　 "I found its inscription on the crossbow arm, [Hermes Trismegistes, Narwhal]."

　　 "Narwhal." Lorraine thought he liked the name. "Can you put it on the bow like Scott's ballista?"

　　 "Not now, but when I return to Southampton, I can build a new launch platform for the narwhal, which is exactly the same as the previous Scott Ballista, or even better!"

　　 "I will leave this to you, my master."

Lorraine stretched his waist excitedly: "Speeding up the repair of the ship. Nasbalt's diary mentioned that the reef belt has a tortuous but wide safe route in the northwest of the island. He relied on this route. Passed through the fog area for the second time."

　　 "Really?" Everyone was excited.

"Really." Lorraine confirmed with a smile, "In these two days, Acharin and I will find it and mark it. We entered the foggy area from the northeast, even if the Reindeer is still waiting for us in the sea beyond the fog. , It is impossible to estimate that we will come out from the northwest."

　　 "Crossing through the foggy area, straight to the north, we returned to England from the high latitude route, and no one could find us on the vast sea."

"Gentlemen and ladies, be proud of yourself." He looked at his seamen, standing on the long ship like a proud judge, proclaiming, "Establish a route, land on the island, cross the jungle, explore the unknown. We conquered He Brazil Island, thoroughly...conquered it!"

　　 "Long live!"
