Chapter 4488 Chapter 4490 [Make amends after the lost sheep]
"It's no wonder that the East India Company's power spread across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas... Its scope is so vast and its power is so powerful that it can even rival any other country.
With such power, it is natural to collect a large amount of treasures, which is unmatched by any other force. "Xiang Nan immediately sighed.
He used to always care about those lost treasures, such as the treasure of the Island of the Dead, the treasure of King Arthur, the treasure of Ponce de Leon, the treasure of Alexander the Great, etc.
But large conglomerates like the East India Company have been ignored.
The empire established by Alexander the Great only spanned Europe, Asia and Africa. However, consortiums like the East India Company have spread their influence all over the world, and they have strong ships, cannons, and hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops.
Therefore, they are actually more likely to collect more treasures.
In fact, the East India Company did like to search for treasures everywhere.
For example, Lord Beckett once ordered Jack Sparrow to find the treasure Zezula's Heart, and he also ordered Bill Turner to find Jack Sparrow's Wish Compass and Davy Jones' Soul Man's Casket.
God knows what other treasures he ordered others to search for.
"I'm so stupid. I never thought of this." Xiang Nan sighed sadly. If he had known this, he should have taken action long ago.
Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends, and it's still too late to take action.
…
"I didn't expect that not long after I succeeded, I would be noticed by the East India Company. They sent people everywhere to look for me, so I had nowhere to hide." Angelica said bitterly, "Okay, I will tell you the truth. You, can you let me go now?"
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, let go of Angelica, and then took out twenty peanut-sized red and green sapphires and five hundred golden gold coins from the purse, "These should be worth one hundred thousand gold coins. It's all yours now."
"You actually continue to trade with me?" Angelica said in surprise.
She originally thought that this time she encountered a gangster, but she didn't expect that Xiang Nan actually gave her money. Twenty red and green sapphires the size of peanuts are already worth about 100,000 gold coins.
And Xiang Nan was also very considerate. If she was really given one hundred thousand gold coins, she wouldn't be able to take it away at all.
Because one gold coin weighs about eight grams, and one hundred thousand gold coins weighs eight hundred kilograms, it would be very difficult even to pull it with a carriage, and it would be easy for others to see it.
In comparison, twenty peanut-sized gems can be stored in a money bag. Moreover, gems of this size are also very convenient for selling stolen goods. Any jewelry store, **** shop, gold and silver shop would like to acquire such treasures.
And five hundred gold coins is enough for her to spend for a while. After all, prices were very low at that time, and ordinary people’s annual income was only twenty or thirty pounds at most.
"I always keep my word. Since I agreed to make a deal with you, I will naturally not go back on it. What is yours is yours." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But there is one more thing you have that is mine."
"What?" Angelica asked smoothly while loading gems and gold coins.
"This sword of Triton." Xiang Nan pointed to the sword in his hand and said, "This sword was given to Jack Sparrow by me, and now it appears in your hand. Can you explain it to me? "
"Do you know Jack Sparrow?" Angelica was startled, quickly put away the gems and gold coins, and then grinned, "Actually, he and I are also good friends. You may not know, but he is also my first love. ”
When Angelica heard this, she knew she couldn't hide it, so she immediately turned around and ran away. "Why don't you have a long memory? Where do you want to run in front of me?" Xiang Nan shook his head, fixed her with one finger, then grabbed her arm and used Disapparation.
In an instant, the two of them arrived on the Black Pearl thousands of miles away.
…
"Jack, look who I brought here?" Xiang Nan smiled.
"Angelica?! What brought you here?" Jack's eyes lit up when he saw Angelica in Xiang Nan's hand, and then he staggered over.
"Oh, Jack, I'm sorry, I was wrong. You know, I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just joking with you." Angelica said with a smile as soon as she saw Jack.
"Really? Not only did you take away my money and my sword, but you also exiled me to the sea alone with no food or drink. Do you call this a 'joke'?" Jack asked with a sneer.
"Of course, you know, I have always loved you." Angelica said with a smile, "Jack, I knew you would be fine. Don't you see that you are very healthy now?"
"That's all thanks to my good friend James." Jack said angrily, "Angelica, I will repay you for everything you did to me."
"Here you go. You two take your time and play." Xiang Nan handed over Triton's sword. The wish compass was returned to Jack, and then he said with a smile, "By the way, let me remind you, there are twenty gems and five hundred gold coins in her purse, worth about one hundred thousand pounds."
When Jack heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took the Triton Sword and the Wish Compass, and then touched the hilt of the sword with his hand. In an instant, the ship's cable coiled around Angelica like a snake.
Angelica screamed and ran away immediately, trying to avoid the entanglement of the cable, but she couldn't escape. She was easily **** by the cable, and then hung high on the mast.
"Jack, I'm leaving, be careful." Xiang Nan said to Jack Sparrow, "Next time something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you in time."
"I will remember the lesson." Jack nodded.
Xiang Nan waved to him, and then he apparated away, leaving the Black Pearl and arriving at the East India Company's warehouse.
…
I saw that this warehouse was built in a cave. It was very large, the size of a stadium, and it was very tightly defended.
The doors of the warehouse are all solid iron doors, which are dozens of centimeters thick and weigh several tons. Even if they are blasted with a cannon, they may not be able to open them.
Angelica also used a beauty trap to steal the key before opening the warehouse door. But unfortunately, she only had time to steal the Mountain of Light diamond.
Xiang Nan looked at the warehouse and saw that the warehouse was filled with boxes of various sizes. Each box had a number on it to classify them.
These large and small boxes are stacked together like a hill, which looks quite spectacular.
"It's a bit like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
In the first "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the Ark of the Covenant found by Dr. Indiana Jones was packed in a wooden box and stored in a large warehouse.
The warehouse is full of similar boxes, which inevitably leads people to wonder what other incredible treasures are inside.
