Chapter 4489 Chapter 4491 [Stone of Destiny]
Xiang Nan immediately began to investigate.
I saw that what was placed in the box numbered A-001 was actually an ancient scripture. After careful inspection, I found that this was a Bible, and it was written in ancient Hebrew.
According to Xiang Nan's speculation, this scripture should be at least a thousand years old, and its cultural value alone is difficult to estimate. Moreover, this book also faintly exudes holy light, and is obviously an artifact of Hebrew or Christian religion.
Inside the box numbered A-002 was a piece of clothing soaked in blood. Judging from the style of the clothes, they must be very old, but the blood stains on them are still as bright as before, and they are emitting a shining holy light. It is obviously an incredible artifact.
What was placed in the box numbered A-003 was actually a long black feather. This feather is very black, as black as charcoal. No matter how bright the light shines on it, it will not reflect a trace of bright color. Moreover, this feather exudes an evil aura, so it is obviously also an extraordinary object.
Xiang Nan looked at each item one by one and saw that the items in these boxes each had their own mysteries and magic. And he didn't care whether it was good or bad, high or low, he kept it all in his own pocket.
When he has time in the future, he can slowly study these magical items.
After loading all the items in the warehouse, Xiang Nan then used his earth escape technique to leave the treasure house and came to the East India Company office building next to it.
He planned to find the files of these treasures and take them away with him.
After all, since they were all numbered, it was obvious that the East India Company would have archives.
Sure enough, with his diligent search, he soon found the files of these magical items in the safe in the office of the chairman of the East India Company.
In addition, Xiang Nan also packed up and took away all the gold coins, silver coins, jewelry, banknotes, etc. stored in the East India Company's vault.
He estimated that the treasure alone was worth millions of pounds. At that time, one million pounds was enough to buy the entire British Navy.
Xiang Nan's purpose in playing this trick is to draw out the firepower.
Nowadays, the East India Company is working hard to expand its power. Africa, Australia, Asia, America... are full of troops and spies sent by them.
Sooner or later, they will expand their power to the Caribbean, and he does not want to be led by a group of profit-seeking businessmen.
So he stole the East India Company's funds, millions of pounds, which was enough to break the East India Company's muscles. After all, its annual trade volume is only three to four million pounds.
Even if there is a 50% profit, it will only be one to two million pounds.
Now that millions of pounds of assets have been stolen, the East India Company's executives have no way of explaining to their shareholders. When the time comes, a large number of people will have to be driven out of office, perhaps including Kallet Beckett.
Moreover, the loss of millions of pounds will also seriously weaken the East India Company. It is estimated that it will be difficult to expand aggressively in a short time. After all, when a gun goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold, and war also costs money.
…
He first looked through the East India Company's archives and learned the origins of these thousands of magical items.
Among them, A-001 is called the "Bible of Charity" and was found in an ancient tomb in Central Asia. This Bible has the ability to heal injuries and illnesses. After injury or illness, keeping the Bible close to your body can gradually heal the disease and pain. However, if you read this Bible, you will be unable to help but become a fanatical believer in Christianity.
A-002, known as the "Stinger Bloody Clothes", was snatched from a church in Spain. Said to be a relic of Saint Sebastian.
Sebastian was a devout Christian who lived in the fourth century AD. He was shot to death on the order of the Roman king because of his preaching. He was hit by dozens of arrows, stabbing him like a hedgehog, but he survived. Therefore, he was widely regarded as a "miracle" and widely circulated.
But in the end he was executed by the king, and the **** clothes before his death were worshiped devoutly. It is said that after wearing it, you will suffer pain like thousands of arrows piercing your body. Spanish ascetics would use it to sharpen their spirits, and the effect was said to be very effective.
A-003 is called "Fallen Angel's Feather" and is said to be derived from the feathers on fallen angels. Because the angels were dissatisfied with God's preference for human beings and became jealous, they left heaven and fell into hell. Their originally white and flawless feathers were burned black by the flames of hell.
This fallen angel feather can arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts, and when you hold it in your hand, the words you speak are particularly convincing, making it difficult for people not to obey.
…
Xiang Nan looked through the files of these magical items one by one, and to be honest, he was shocked.
He didn't expect that the East India Company had collected so many strange and magical items that had their own uses. It was really amazing.
But it's no wonder. The East India Company has power in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.
In "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", its power has far exceeded the nine pirate kings. If Kallet Beckett hadn't been fooled and finally gave up resistance, with the power of the East India Company, it would not be difficult to destroy the nine pirate kings.
Since it has such a huge power, it is not surprising that it can collect so many magical items. After all, this world always respects the strong.
Among the many magical items, Xiang Nan thought that the "Stone of Destiny" was the most valuable just by looking at the archives.
This "Stone of Destiny" was snatched from the Gypsy leader and is said to be a remaining fragment of the "Wheel of Fortune". As long as you wear this "Stone of Destiny", you can decide your own destiny without being bound by it.
The Gypsies are a wandering people who have traveled all over Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are good at divination and mind reading.
They discovered that once wearing the "Stone of Destiny", his fate could not be divined. Therefore, they believe that this stone is a fragment of the "Wheel of Fortune".
Gypsies like to use tarot cards for divination, and the most important card in the tarot cards is the "Wheel of Fortune". Legend has it that the Wheel of Fortune controls everyone's destiny, and everyone is controlled by it, even the gods above.
As for the wearer of the "Stone of Destiny", whose fate can no longer be divined, it is like breaking through the shackles of fate, and is naturally regarded as a sacred object.
The reason why Xiang Nan considers this item to be the most precious is because "fate tricks people" and it is difficult for people to break through the shackles of fate, even gods.
Just like in "Journey to the West", when Sun Wukong undergoes seventy-two transformations, he can only wear a golden hoop and **** Tang Monk to obtain scriptures. Everything is destined, and people have no ability to resist.
This is the greatest sorrow that cannot be resisted by strength. With the "Stone of Destiny", you can get rid of the shackles of fate, so Xiang Nan believes that this "Stone of Destiny" is the most precious treasure.
