Chapter 1572: The Sunken Cargo Ship

"Renata?" Barbarossa tilted his head slightly, not caring whether this was her real name. As long as the gold was in place, it didn't matter what her name was. "Then our Mr. Auguste and Ms. Renata are The gains were 23% and 19% respectively.”

"What about the remaining 1%? Did you eat it secretly?" August, a German who is very sensitive to numbers, objected. "Even if it is 1%, it is still a big deal when included in the total harvest. number."

“My personal suggestion is to treat this 1% as a dividend flow. During the action, whoever contributes the most and is the best will transfer this 1% dividend. This rule is not only for us, but for everyone. Everyone who is boarding the ship is welcome. What do you think?" Barbarossa suggested with a smile.

"Are you using 1% of the interest to mobilize the enthusiasm of others? It's a good proposal. I can accept it." August nodded and accepted the proposal.

Abdul, who came from Arabia like a prince but somehow still participated in this mysterious operation, also nodded in agreement, and Nakhimov and Renata, who was a bit mysterious to everyone, did not object.

Anna, who was standing behind, saw that they were talking to this point, and had probably confirmed that this group of people was discussing the dividend distribution of the treasures of Atlantis. At the same time, she also felt a sense of absurdity in her heart. This group of people, even Ya There was no certainty about where Atlantis was, so he actually dared to spend a lot of money to draft the final division of interests in person.

Are these people with briefcases stuffed with gold really brainless? Barbarossa, a guy who looked like a cunning pirate at first glance, was actually worthy of them bringing a large amount of wealth to trade?

But Anna still resisted the urge to complain, because she knew very well that now she had no qualifications to speak out among this group of people. Perhaps she had to wait until these people knew that their understanding of Atlantis was completely wrong. Only then can we remember her role.

She saw the situation clearly. Although she didn't know what means Barbarossa used to convince these people that he could lead them to find the wealth in Atlantis, she was very sure that Atlantis was definitely not the so-called sacrificial gold. As long as they can find a place, the investment of this group of people is destined to be in vain.

A verbal agreement has been reached, or perhaps Barbarossa had already had in-depth communication with these people before this meeting, and this time it was just a formal meeting to start action.

The three men and one woman were welcomed onto the three-story luxury yacht by Barbarossa. When Anna stood on the shore and hesitated which speedboat she should board, Barbarossa on the boat waved to her. She also came up, which surprised her.

But it was best to get on the yacht. She didn't want to be on a boat with those armed bodyguards or Barbarossa's ruthless people, so she could only follow the yacht honestly.

Everyone was searched before boarding the yacht, and all thermal weapons were left under the yacht. Luckily for August and Abdul, even with their accompanying bodyguards, they did not bring any self-defense weapons. However, two guns were found and removed from Nasimov and the Russian girl who called herself Renata, and they did not resist much.

"You are as old as my daughter." When Nasimov handed over the Beretta tied around his waist, he glanced at Renata and said suddenly.

But this mysterious Russian girl ignored her, just handed the Glock in her hand indifferently and walked onto the boat.

There were no firearms in Anna's backpack, but there was a cold steel dagger hidden in it, which was also confiscated. After she followed her onto the ship, she saw Barbarossa wearing sunglasses on the deck, who had taken out a bottle of champagne and a few bottles of champagne from the small freezer. Place the wine glass on the white round table, shake the champagne gently, pick up the champagne knife and scrape it gently, with a crisp "wave" sound, the foam pours out of the bottle mouth and is poured into the glass one by one.

After Anna and the others approached the round table, they picked up their own cups, but did not speak.

"Then I'm here to wish us all the best on this treasure hunt." Barbarossa raised his champagne glass and took a sip with a grin. After seeing his actions, the others took a sip of interest and took a sip. Champagne.

August took a sip of champagne and lowered his head slightly to glance at the champagne bottle on the table. It seemed that he was surprised that the pirate leader had some taste for drinking. Abdul, the man called the prince, did not react much. , probably because I’m tired of the good wine. Nasimov, Anna and Renata all just pretended to do so and did not actually drink the wine.

"Whether this journey goes smoothly or not depends on whether the coordinates you got are correct. So now that the deposit has been handed over to you and your sincerity has been paid, you can disclose the location where the ship sank. "?" Nasimov said slowly, putting down the champagne glass.

"Don't worry, my friends, whether the coordinates I have are correct or not, the gifts you received in your hands should be able to prove this. Everyone knows what important treasures were on board the 'Queen' when it sank. What I give you is genuine and irrefutable evidence - I think you all should have had it appraised by a professional appraiser before finally making up your mind to come to me with a deposit." Barbarossa said leisurely.

Anna didn't understand what they were saying, but soon she discovered that several people at the table, except for Barbarossa, took out a silver coin and placed it on the table. This must be the ironclad evidence of what Barbarossa said. , is also used as a means to persuade these funders.

Because of her professionalism as an archeology major, she was attracted to sit slightly close to the table and bend down to carefully observe these silver coins that seemed to be of some age.

"This is Miss Anna, the future star of archeology. I think with her professional level, she should be able to tell the story behind these silver coins?" Barbarossa glanced at Anna with interest and introduced her to everyone.

Anna glanced at the other people on the table, then reached out and picked up a silver coin. She gently scratched the marks and lines on it with her thumb, and found that the edges of the silver coin were all carved with vine-like patterns. But soon she gradually discovered that these patterns seemed to be some kind of writing, because it conformed to a pattern, such as a combination of Latin, Rune writing and even Egyptian writing. It was quite complex. On the front of the silver coin was a classical head side face.

"The Tetradrachms of Tyr?"

She said with some uncertainty, "If I am not mistaken, these should be silver coins minted from 126 to 57 BC. The front of the silver coins depicts the god Melkite of the Phoenician city of Tire, which the Greeks also called Hercules, and the back is... Huh?"

She turned the silver coin over to the back. It was supposed to be an intricate pattern of an eagle, but instead it turned into a dragon head with its head raised, and there was still dried rust on this side of the dragon head?

Anna suddenly thought of something, and suddenly reached out to collect all the other silver coins on the table. Sure enough, she found that each one had this dark red rust stain on it. Coupled with the age and background of these silver coins, she suddenly expressed He looked at Barbarossa quite complicatedly and asked, "How many silver coins like this do you have? Or how many did you get in one go?"

"30 pieces."

Anna was silent, put down the silver coins in her hand, and took a few steps back. She looked at the silver coins on the table as if looking at something unknown, full of taboos. She took a deep breath and pressed her forehead slightly, as if because of the sunshine. I feel dizzy due to the sun exposure.

Beside her, the Russian girl named Renata glanced at her silently, some thoughts flashed in her eyes, and then she looked away indifferently.

Barbarossa seemed to be very satisfied with Anna's huge reaction, nodded and said, "I said that Miss Anna must know the goods. I thought I would only come up with these few to trouble you, but I didn't expect that your associative ability is so rich. I guessed the story behind these silver coins so quickly.”

"Everyone in the archaeological field knows that a batch of cultural relics were unearthed in Jerusalem two years ago. After archaeologists dug up the strata, they found that the soil underground was brownish-red, similar to the color of blood, and they successfully found artifacts in the blood. A corpse wrapped in a straw mat, and hidden in the ribs of the corpse was a dark brown cloth bag containing thirty silver coins. "

Anna took a deep breath to calm down the fear and nausea she felt. "Although I am not a religious person, this incident spread almost throughout the archaeological community at the time. Jerusalem was certain that what they dug up was the Bible." "The body of Judas in "The Red Land" is the 'blood field' purchased by the priest Judas, and the thirty silver coins."

"It is the thirty silver coins that Judas received from the legendary betrayal of Jesus. Before this, there was no physical evidence to prove that Judas betrayed Jesus. Therefore, the unearthing of these thirty silver coins means that the Bible is testable and is a carnival for the entire religion. , and also gave these thirty silver coins unimaginable value," Barbarossa said.

"I heard that these thirty silver coins were collected by the Pope in the Vatican Museum. How come they are here?" Anna looked at the few silver coins on the table. She used various methods she had learned to verify the authenticity of these silver coins. It is fake, but due to the restriction of conditions, we can only get the fact that these few silver coins are indeed genuine, but there is no way to check whether they are some of the thirty silver coins.

"The silver coins on display in the Vatican Museum are fakes. The ones in front of us now are undoubtedly genuine. Just like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is just a backup. The real coins have already been collected by some buyers. It's the same as in the private warehouse at home. The value of those thirty silver coins is far beyond your imagination, so the really rich and powerful people lent these cultural relics that fit the description of the Bible through their promises and operations to the Vatican, and secretly Transport it to the other side of the sea by sea," Barbarossa said with a raised eyebrow.

Anna's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Barbarossa, because she had not forgotten the identity and occupation of this red-bearded man.

"No, Miss Anna, you seem to have misunderstood something." Barbarossa raised his hand and hung it on the side rail of the yacht deck, grinning and showing his gold teeth, "I don't have the guts to rob that cargo ship, after all, it's But it’s a cargo ship escorted by the Wittelsbach family!”

Hearing Wittelsbach's name, Anna suddenly raised her head.

Barbarossa looked over the side of the ship, looking at some looming shadows on the sea at the end of the sea. He grinned and said, "I just happen to know that the ship carried Judas with thirty silver coins, and more of equal value. Where exactly did the treasure sink due to an inexplicable storm at sea?”
