Chapter 168 [Alkin and the Evil Scroll]
Ding! System prompt: When you arrive at Alkin, Alkin has marked it on the navigation chart, adventure experience +10, and you will obtain the geographical discovery [Alkin].
Alkin, a trading town in West Africa, will be much more prosperous in a few years, but now it is far from the bottom. There are not many indigenous people in the town, but there are many African players running here. Of course, these African players are much less than other regions. Until now, Africa is still behind, and there are still a few who can buy helmets.
However, after the route of the Great Sail became prosperous, many people in the world, mainly blacks, would provide assistance to Africa. At that time, when Africa exploded, a large number of local African players flocked to the game, which had a huge impact on the black slave trade.
"&*%¥#!" A black native came up and scolded Li Si and his party loudly, and kept calling other tribe members to come.
Looking at the African black warriors who were facing a great enemy, Li Si and Warren looked at each other in a circle. What's going on?
"Don't act rashly, we're not here to make enemies!" Li Si stopped a few black knights who wanted to take action. Africa is a treasure land, and Li Si didn't want the whole African to hate him. Li Si had already guessed the reason for the black people's arrival in a great enemy. In addition to the black slave trade, Li Si really couldn't remember any other reasons.
The black slave trade has just begun, but Li Si believes that these places that are very close to Europe must have been robbed, so these black people are so siege.
This is still now. After the triangular trade unfolds, a large number of black people are plundered. At that time, the African continent was simply a powder keg. As long as the non-black race landed, it would definitely be besieged by a large number of black people, with a large number of international humanitarians and African players in reality. The African continent in the game is not as powerless as history.
Motivating all the black knights not to pull out their weapons and intensify the conflict. Li Si shouted in English to the African players around him: "I come to the peaceful trade and don't want any misunderstandings. I have the food you urgently need, please believe my sincerity!"
Unfortunately, the players around were indifferent, "Are there any of you who can speak English?"
The African players around were still looking at Li Si without any expression.
"Who knows English? I can give him 10 gold coins as reward!" Li Si was helpless and could only use his trump card.
"I will!" an African player shouted.
"I can!"
"How can I!"
"I, I, I!"
In an instant, more than a dozen African players jumped out and raised their hands to signal to Li Si.
"Very good! Whoever can help the indigenous people here eliminate hostility will be the one who will belong to!" Li Si held up the gold coins, and the golden gold coins were dazzling under the sunlight.
"I can!"
"I can do it too!"
Only two African players remained, and Li Si nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Let's eliminate the hostility of the indigenous people here. I came to trade with peace and friendship! After the matter is completed, each person will have 10 gold coins!"
"No problem!" The two of them spoke in unison and began to negotiate with the indigenous people.
Li Si signaled the knights to be calm and waited quietly for the negotiations between the black players and the aborigines. This island must have been opened by players who encouraged the aborigines to open up here. Like in previous lives, some African players regarded it as a strategic harbor in Africa. For the sake of Alkin's control, this bay bleeded a lot.
Alkin is located on an island in Alkin Bay in West Africa, surrounded by reefs around the island. Lis's Paradise is not close to this sea area, he came by on the Santa Maria.
After a while, all the African indigenous people gradually put down their weapons. It seems that the two African players are developing well here, or they are simply the indigenous people who encouraged them to build small towns here. African players are backward. However, there is an advantage that African players do not need any certificates to build territory. As long as the interests of the chiefs of various African tribes are not violated, they can easily encircle the land and act as their own territory.
Of course, this benefit is limited to African players, which is a compensation for African players.
"We have communicated with the NPCs, they allow you to trade, but please do not show any hostility!"
"No problem, we are here to trade!" Li Si actually did not have a strong trade. He just wanted to mark all the coastal ports on the navigation chart to facilitate future layout.
"Well, we have the best ivory here. See if you want to trade with us. If you bring good wine, I can consider trading with you cheaper!" One of the black players said.
"Fine wine? I have it here, how many ivory do you have?" Li Si was a little interested when he heard about ivory. If ivory is brought to East Asia, it should be said that it is quite popular. Only when the players and the indigenous ocean-going trade fleet develop, the profits of ivory will drop a lot.
In addition to jewelry and precious metals, the most crazy thing in "The Great Sail" is spices. When the Spice Islands were discovered, waves of trade fleets flocked to the Spice Islands. That period was the craziest period in "The Great Sail". The whole of Europe was filled with spices. After the market was saturated, many players and indigenous people lost all their money.
However, Li Si thought that this could be considered. Before everyone started, he would make a lot of money by pulling the spices back and forth a few times.
Seeing that the African indigenous people around him had dispersed, Li Si ordered the Black Knight to move a large amount of food and wine from the Santa Maria, and started trading directly with African players and indigenous people in the square. After all the Alkin residents traded, Li Si unexpectedly discovered that his reputation in Alkin had reached a friendly level, and it was no longer the hostility he had just begun.
The ivory transaction that the black player mentioned was also reached, and there were still a lot of them, with 35 units, which is quite a large number.
After all the transactions were completed, Lis took the knights to return to the Santa Maria and continued to sail to the southern tip of Africa.
"Do you sell the clothes from your sailor ship?" When Li Si was about to board the ship, the black player who traded with him asked Li Si quietly, his eyes full of expectation and envy.
"Uh!" Li Si looked at the player with a helpless look on his face, "This kind of clothes are bound and cannot be sold. I'm really embarrassed!"
"Well, it's okay, I'll ask, the clothes are so great, majestic and handsome!" The black player's faces were full of longing and love.
"I really have no choice. When I have other good-looking clothes in the future, I will give you one!" Li Si casually said and ended the topic.
"I really have to thank you. You guys go slowly!" The black player did not bother him anymore and waved goodbye to Li Si.
The Saint Mary set sail, gradually leaving Alkin, and continued to sail towards the next port.
East Asia.
"I finally got it, let's see what it was!" Xia Keke urged Niu Dali to see what was in the box. Robert was curious and came up. He picked up the box so carefully that he wanted to know what was in the box.
"It's open?" Xia Keke and Robert looked at Niu Dali busy there for a long time, raised their heads and asked hurriedly.
"I haven't learned to unlock the lock..." Niu Dali said embarrassedly.
"You're pretending to tinker for a long time if you haven't learned to unlock the lock?" Xia Keke looked at Niu Dali with contempt.
"Well……"
"I'll do it, just a lock, a trivial matter!" Robert continued.
Robert walked to the box, tinkered for a while, and opened the box with a click.
The three of them climbed to the box with their heads and looked into the box. The box was slowly opened, and there was an ancient scroll of sheepskin in the box.
"What is this?" Niu Dali, the owner of the box, picked up the scroll and soaked it in the sea water for so long, but there was no water in the box at all.
"This is an ancient treasure map!" Niu Dali said in a deep voice, his tone very heavy.
"Isn't it just a treasure map? Why are you doing so serious?" Xia Keke slapped Niu Dali with a slap.
Thump! Niu Dali fell on the deck.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Xia Keke looked at Niu Dali anxiously, but saw Niu Dali climbing up again.
"It's okay, but when I got this parchment roll, there was a curse state attached!" Niu Dali waved his hands, "Don't come here!"
"What's wrong?" Xia Keke looked at Niu Dali for some reason.
"A negative state, you will encounter negative events at random!" Niu Dali said.
Brush! Bang! "Ah!"
"Captain! Captain! The sail fell!" a sailor shouted loudly.
"Isn't it just that the sail fell down? What are you doing with fuss?" Niu Dali turned around and shouted impatiently.
"No...yes, it killed a person!" The sailor was frightened by Niu Dali, and Qiqiai Ai said.
"There is something wrong with this scroll!" Niu Dali looked at Xia Keke and Robert and said, "I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly I was filled with anger in my chest, with a hint of murderous intent!"
"No wonder they put it in a box and sank it to the bottom of the sea. If it is really evil as you said, this scroll is really evil, let's put it back and sank it to the bottom of the sea!" Robert said with a serious expression.
"No! I must take it with me, this is my baby!" Niu Dali held the scroll in his arms, and did not put it in his backpack. He just held the scroll and kept muttering, "Baby, baby, this is my baby!"
"Niu Dali, what's wrong with you?!"
"I don't know..." Niu Dali suddenly returned to normal, "This scroll will affect my mind!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
