1765. High-priced nobles (please support the monthly pass)

The last Titan Company was founded in San Diego and is also a major supplier of national security and homeland security products for the two major North American countries, the United States and Canada. Most of their customers are defense, intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies.

Xiao Black introduced that their auction hired this company to provide a modern offensive and defense drill system that integrates combat, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. They are the center of the auction's defense work.

"The price to pay for hiring four security companies is not small, right?" Qin Shiou asked.

Black little said relaxedly: "Compared with our gains, this effort is nothing, the total is about 8 million US dollars. However, the more difficult thing is to let the four defense companies cooperate. These guys are very proud and think they are the best and disdain to cooperate with other companies."

Although he did not explain, Qin Shiou understood that this required connections and resources. The Black family did not lack resources in this regard. The most cooperative thing they cooperated at these auctions was to defend the company.

Having seen an important member of the Little Black family, Qin Shiou entered the exhibition hall accompanied by Little Black. The exhibits were scattered on four floors. Each floor had at least twenty elite guards responsible for safety work. These people were wearing sunglasses and headphones, and looked at the visitors coming and going expressionlessly, like robot warmen.

When he walked into the hall, Qin Shiou first saw a skeleton. The skeleton was pale and there were tiny traces of sea creatures attached to it. It was wearing a chain mail, a horned helmet and a fierce ghost mask on its head, and a bow and arrow that was almost as tall as him in his hand.

Among them, the bones of the arm holding the bow and arrow were particularly thick, and the bones on the back on that side were twisted and deformed, filled with thick epiphysis and even bone spurs, which looked like a crazy and hideous feeling, which was very strange.

Qin Shiou recognized it at a glance. This set of armor and this English longbow were the cultural relics and weapons they salvaged from the shipwreck. The bow string of the longbow had been broken, and he changed into a new bow string. But now he looked at it, it should have been replaced again. It was still the old bow string, but it was glued and reconnected.

"Are these weapons and armor obtained from the shipwreck?" Winni asked curiously. A reporter walked up with a camera, and she stood beside the skeleton with a generous look and took a photo.

Xiao Black introduced: "It's not just weapons and armor, but even this skeleton was salvaged from the wreck." As he said that, he looked at Qin Shiou, "My man, do you still remember that there is a box filled with a lot of bones? Yes, this skeleton was obtained from it."

Of course, Qin Shiou remembered that box. When Billy was salvaged, he said that the bones in the box were the last trapped at the sea and had nothing to eat. The remaining bones left by the people who ate were left behind. It was disgusting to think about it!

Winnie said in surprise: "Then this person grows so deformed, look at his shoulder blades..."

Little Black nodded and said, "Yes, it's deformed enough, but this also explains why someone can use the English longbow perfectly. I don't know if you have known it before. Many weapon masters questioned the power of the English longbow and believed that humans cannot completely pull this longbow without mechanical assistance."

"Looking at this bone, this is the answer. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for people to completely pull the longbow and exert its power. But in that era, in order to become longbowers, men exercised the strength of one-sided arms and shoulders. After repeated training, their bodies became deformed, and they could fully exert the power of this longbow."

Listening to his introduction, Qin Shiou asked strangely: "That's wrong. According to what you said, there should be very few people who can do this, right? In other words, longbowmen are very valuable talents in their era. How could such talents be eaten first?"

Little Black stretched out his thumb and laughed, "Qin, master, you are a master, you have asked the point at once!"

He looked at the skeleton and the armored weapons on his body, and a smile of expectation appeared on his face: "The treasures we salvaged are many gold and silver coins, as well as gold and silverware and ceramics. The second valuable one should be the incomplete set of Philip's fourth-century gold coins in your hand, and the most valuable one is this set of armored weapons and this skeleton!"

Qin Shiou exclaimed: "Are these weapons and armor so valuable?"

Little Black shook his head and pointed to the skeleton and said, "In fact, it is valuable! According to our research, the owner of this dead bone is not simple. Didn't you ask why such a precious longbower was eaten by pirates first? The reason is very simple. He is a prisoner of pirates and an enemy of pirates!"

"His true identity is the wandering Baron Chakleman Chamberlain of the UK!"

Qin Shiou said that he was very unfamiliar with the name that Xiao Black said. He had never heard of this nickname or this person.

Little Black introduced him to him that this man is of course not very famous in history, but he is quite famous in the history of weapons and cultural relics. He was a baron who was promoted to accumulating military achievements as a civilian. He was a sharpshooter who made many military achievements with a longbow. But after he obtained the title, he did not want to be imprisoned in the old-fashioned British military camp, so he took the longbow he relied on to become famous and left the British mainland to form a mercenary to fight everywhere.

Later, according to the genealogy of the Chamberlain family, their sharpshooter ancestors disappeared after leading his small mercenary regiment to Spain. After several investigations, they found out that the ancestor was not missing, but died in the battle of the Basalomeu Pirates's invasion of San Gardalina Island. Among them, there is another saying that the sharpshooter was not dead in battle, but he joined the pirates and fled with the pirates.

The latter statement is naturally an insult to the Chamberlain family and an insult to the British aristocracy, so it has never been adopted. But what makes the Chamberlain family feel aggrieved is that they have no evidence to refute this statement.

Now the evidence is revealed, it is obvious that the Baron of the Swordsman was captured in the battle. Blake said that the pirates' original intention of capturing him may be to exchange him for money. In the 16th and 7th century, when knights and nobles were captured in the European war, they could not be tortured or hurt, and they could use money to redeem themselves. Therefore, it was very popular to capture nobles and knights in the war.

Unfortunately, this pirate group did not survive until the day when they could ask for ransom. They were trapped in the cold Arctic Sea, and the Baron of the Swordsman was not exchanged back, but was treated as food... (To be continued.)
