The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 75 Silver

Since the pirate group did not dare to go ashore frequently, most of them would choose to find a hidden treasure spot at sea to store their plundered harvest. Undiscovered and unrecorded uninhabited islands like this one are undoubtedly one of their first choices.

If they could really encounter a hiding place with a large pirate group that has accumulated a lot of strength, then the Black Pearl's trip would only be more profitable than discovering a brand new island.

"Any clues?" Siegfried asked in a deep voice.

There was a little haste in his tone.

"Yes, if you go in this direction, it shouldn't be far." Climdley replied.

As an experienced sailor, she knew that the discovery of such a treasure should first inform the captain, and then explore, to avoid possible suspicion and internal strife.

Even though the atmosphere of the group of them is very harmonious and they trust each other, she still chooses to notify first and then hunt for treasure, even though the destination is already very close to her at this moment.

This is emotional intelligence.

This female helmsman who has been wandering on the sea for more than ten years and is still valiant is not only wise to speak yellow.

Afterwards, Klimdori led the people to move on. It didn't take long. When they came to the other side of the island, they soon saw a material stash.

This place is not difficult to find at all, all the wooden boxes are neatly stacked in a half-open cave, and a wooden shed was thoughtfully built at the entrance of the cave to keep out the rain, and a few simple traps to drive away wild beasts and small elves were arranged around, so you can find them at a glance.

In fact, the treasures of the pirates don't need to be hidden very deep, because what is really difficult to find is this mysterious island that does not exist on any known routes or official charts.

"Yo, it looks like a bumper harvest."

Siegfried looked at the wooden boxes piled up in front of the entire cave, and whistled cheerfully.

Immediately, everyone excitedly stepped forward to unpack the box and inspect the goods. Mu Ye followed the guidance of the system's treasure hunting interface and found a small wooden box deep in the cave. When he opened it, there was a water system evolution stone.

Evolution stones are extremely rare treasures even in the real world.

Although the evolution path of elves in reality is more diverse and not unique, many elves that can only evolve with evolution stones in previous games can also rely on their own accumulation to complete evolution in reality, but evolution stones are still the first choice to skip accumulation, save time, and ensure success rate.

What made Mu a little disappointed was——

"Why is there no box of gold jewelry here?"

Most of what they found after unpacking the boxes were weaving cloth, dried tea leaves, spices, and some high-value dehydrated tree fruits, etc. The common gold and silver treasures were not found in a single box.

Klimdori on the side gave him a blank look.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about pirates?"

"Ok?"

She sighed, and said, "Listen less to the messy sea love stories told by those bards from now on."

"Forehead……"

After some explanations, Mu finally realized that he was obviously misled by various pirate movies and animation novels in his previous life.

Pirates do have the habit of hiding treasure, but it's never because they have financial acumen or a strong sense of self-management, just because: they dare not go ashore frequently.

Once they are reported to be surrounded by the navy on the shore, they will really lose their money and people.

But even so, pirates still have a strong demand for pleasure.

As a high-risk, high-yield, and extremely high-mortality occupation, pirates have always believed in instant gratification. After all, no one is sure that they will be able to see the sun tomorrow. It is normal to be drunk today.

Therefore, the pirates always carried with them or hid in private compartments on the ship, such as gold, silver and jewelry, which were easy to get rid of and could be spent at any time, so that they could sneak ashore whenever they found an opportunity to have a good time.

The ones that will really be piled up in the treasure spot are mostly those that are inconvenient to sell in the short term, or that will not find a way to sell the stolen goods for a while after being snatched.

So the plot in the movie that the big pirate's treasure spot is full of golden coins and the real gold and silver are all over the ground is just a lie.

It’s full of special effects, duang’s touch makes you feel very shiny and bright, but in fact it’s all fake...

After understanding, Mu was speechless for a while, feeling rather melancholy that his youth was over.

But the rest of the people on board were all in high spirits at the moment.

As a navy, they have never lacked channels to sell. The value of this batch of goods is very high. Even if the purchase price is at least 10,000+ silver dollars, it may not be a problem if they are all sold inland.

It was just that while being excited, a brother suddenly discovered something unusual.

"Captain, look at this."

He goes to Siegfried.

It was a piece of carefully preserved parchment. After unfolding it, you can see that it is a business contract, which is somewhat similar to the futures transaction certificate of Mu's previous life.

The most striking thing is that the parties to the contract for this certificate are actually the Sharktooth Pirates and the Silver Company.

"Heh, it's interesting, the pirates even started doing business with the company."

Siegfried sneered after seeing it.

At this time, Mu seemed to have a little impression of the company's name.

"Silver Company... I seem to have heard of it somewhere?"

Climdrie at the side seized the opportunity and immediately tapped his head again with her fingers.

"It's a pity that you are still a messy person, and the Silver Company in the New World doesn't know about it."

"Are they famous?" Mu asked rhetorically.

At this time Siegfried helped to explain.

"Silver, the Gardenia Kingdom invested and established a company in the New World. The royal family directly funded the establishment. I heard that all the major nobles in their country have shares and are in charge of the kingdom's trade expansion in the New World."

Mu understood as soon as he heard it.

Isn't this an overseas colonial company?
In the previous life, the Great Empire on Earth also played this trick. After the opening of the Age of Discovery, the notorious East India Company was established on the east coast of Asia, and it dominated East Asian countries including India for centuries.

As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows, and the countries on the old roads of this world have also played similar tricks in the current era.

The name is a company, but it is actually the spokesperson of the kingdom.

Being able to enter into a futures trading contract with pirates is enough to show the ugly face of this Silver company.

"Then shall we still eat this batch?"

The sailor who first discovered the parchment contract asked with trepidation.

For those who make a living at sea, especially in the South China Sea, the name of Silver Company is quite intimidating.

However, Siegfried just glanced at the man indifferently, and asked, "You just got on the boat?"

"Yes... yes." The sailor stammered and replied, "I am this batch of new recruits, captain."

Siegfried laughed, "That's no wonder."

Then he patted the man's shoulder heavily with one hand, with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Remember, you're in the navy now, on my Ziggy spaceship! Silver? Brothers, tell me are you afraid of them?"

Starting with Orr and other soldiers, all the veterans on board shouted in unison.

"I'm afraid he's a dick!!!"
