The Final Evolutionary Quest! The Origin of the Black Pearl! Chapter 58: Greenland Weapon

Chapter 58 Greenland Weapon

Thinking of this, Sheyan couldn't help but sigh that Governor Siwan was so courageous that he even invited businessmen from the enemy country. It is said that the governor-general at that time was as powerful as a king and as wealthy as the enemy. It seems that this is indeed true. Thinking about it, if a hawkish young general like Norrington hadn't been in charge, Governor Swann would have been even more unscrupulous.

In the original plot, Governor Swann also wholeheartedly wanted to promote the marriage between his daughter Elizabeth and Norrington, which should also be related to this aspect. No matter how principled Norrington was, he would not be able to attack his father-in-law.

However, this time at the trade fair, Fernandez, an uninvited guest with extremely strong financial resources, I am afraid that the things he is interested in will be difficult to be snatched away by others. This celebrity from an enemy country can also act as a catfish at the auction, muddying the otherwise calm waters so that more profits can be made at the auction.

At this time, Brother Black suddenly said:

"The auction is about to begin."

Sure enough, the aristocratic Mr. McKinney gently knocked down the gavel in his hand three times in a row, coughed and said:

"I'm sorry to say this, but please be quiet. The auction will start soon."

The people who came here still gave him respect, probably for the sake of Governor Swann. It suddenly became quiet, even the rude pirates were no exception.

At this time, Yurina, the blonde girl above who looked like Elizabeth, had already taken the notebook next to her and said with a sweet smile:

"Based on the absence of Colonel Norrington--I heard that the Brigadier General--will be absent soon, our event was still able to successfully start the auction. Time is tight, so the auction will be announced below. ’s first item.”

Everyone fell silent. As usual, the first and last items in the auction are both very valuable. They are the best among the auction items. The intention is naturally to get off to a good start. Plus the final Grand Slam closing.

At this time, someone came in carrying a huge wooden box from the side door at the back. Behind the auction host, there is a large platform. This place is usually used by believers to hold mass or sing hymns. At this time, it was sorted out, and you could see five or six black slaves carrying the wooden box and struggling to put it on the platform for buyers to observe.

When it was put down, the wooden box made an overwhelming sound, and then the covering board was removed, revealing a dark mechanical weapon. This thing looks like it should be a large harpoon cannon made with precision craftsmanship, but its surface is covered with turbid black stains. At first glance, it seems that the whole body is covered with rust, but if you look closely, it is an illusion.

Just by looking at this thing, you can feel that there is an infinite evil spirit emanating from it, as if it is turning into many invisible arms to strangle people's necks!

"The Greenland weapon is a giant harpoon cannon that has been forged for nearly a century. The harpoon is blessed with mysterious black magic and fired with mechanical power!" "It had been there for thirty years before. It was placed on the whaling ship Dakins, killing at least thousands of whales and absorbing their souls. Not only did it have a terrifying killing effect on marine life, it would even be able to launch whales when attacking the ship. The sailors on the hit ship will be thrown into great panic."

"This harpoon cannon is extremely useful whether it is used to hunt legendary marine creatures or engage in boarding battles at sea. You must have heard of it. The former captain of the famous Queen Anne's Revenge was shot dead by it. of."

The blond Yurina on the stage had a beautiful voice, and she spoke volumes of her treasures.

"Of course, everyone who buys it must be reminded that to control this powerful harpoon cannon, a dedicated person must perform the relevant operations, otherwise the operator will suffer the backlash of the curse. The starting price is five thousand pounds, and the price increases by one thousand pounds each time ”

Sheyan noticed that the woman cleverly did not mention the range of the harpoon cannon, which should be a shortcoming. Compared with the range of artillery, which can easily reach several kilometers, it is difficult for a harpoon cannon to shoot more than 800 meters even if it is blessed by witchcraft. Therefore, the status of this medium-range weapon seems a bit embarrassing.

If the Sam had not been in its current semi-disabled state, then the Eastern and Western Senyan would have to be acquired. Because this harpoon cannon seems to be able to emit the dead soul of a giant whale, which will cause confusion among the sailors on the enemy's deck and greatly reduce the difficulty of the boarding battle. However, it is hard to say now. Sheyan has to solve the problem of the ship first.

After hearing the auctioneer's offer, some people who had originally had the desire to buy also became cold-blooded. Five thousand gold pounds is enough to buy a brand new three-masted merchant ship at this time. Because merchant ships do not need to be equipped with multiple cannons like warships, the price will be much cheaper.

And if there are no accidents, this merchant ship can earn at least 100,000 pounds in profit before it is decommissioned and scrapped. For pirates or businessmen who come here to pursue profit, spending 5,000 pounds on this thing is not a big deal. A sensible thing to do.

However, Sheyan still underestimated one thing, that is, the symbolic significance of this Greenland weapon is very important. It is famous for killing the captains of three legendary ships. Just like the utensils used by the emperor, the price will go up a bit.

"Six thousand pounds." Fernandez, a big businessman, was the first to offer. He had many powerful men who were good at black magic. Even if we don't mention the symbolic meaning of this Greenland weapon, the black magic attached to it hundreds of years ago is also of great research value. Five thousand pounds is not much, but not too little. It is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Unlike the initial hesitation of the crowd, after Fernandez called the price, the other British people also began to compete for the price. It seems that they are unwilling to let the Spaniards get what they want.

"Seven thousand pounds!"

Blood Shark immediately raised his hand and shouted.

Suddenly, most people looked at Blood Shark. After recognizing his face, they showed a look of surprise. It is said that Blood Shark was ambushed while robbing Fernandez's merchant ship. The boatswain, the first mate and several confidants died cleanly! The feud between the two was formed.

"Ten thousand pounds!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the other side. It turned out to be the gypsy woman wearing a red veil. Although she came to the auction alone, she looked around coldly and seemed to hold the whole place.

Although this Greenland weapon can be said to be unique and of great significance, the cost of a three-masted warship is only 10,000 pounds, which is much more than its own value. Moreover, the gypsy people are elusive and good at divination. Maybe they will have to ask for help at any time, so everyone thought about it and gave in.

However, at this time, just when Mr. McKinney was about to raise the hammer to announce the success of the auction, Fang Senyan suddenly thought of one thing: that is, what did the gypsy people buy this thing for!

His mind turned and he shouted:

"11,000 pounds!"

The gypsy woman thought that 10,000 pounds was easy to get, but she never expected that she would be blocked by someone when bidding for the first thing. Suddenly, the fierce light in her eyes was bright, and there was an indescribable coldness. She immediately looked over to Fang Senyan.

When she saw clearly that it was the sailor Yan who nodded politely, she lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, then turned her head and stopped bidding.

Fang Senyan was stunned. His original intention was not to bid for the "Greenland Weapon", but because according to his previous speculation, this group of gypsies might overlap with the things he was bidding for, so Fang Senyan deliberately called out a high price, intending to consume the gypsies woman's liquidity so as not to interfere with what he really wanted. Unexpectedly, this woman didn't follow? Fang Senyan couldn't help but began to doubt his own judgment.

However, he had no choice but to accept it since no one followed the price. Fang Senyan followed the waiter next to him and handed over 11,000 gold pounds. He had to get this expensive harpoon gun worth a brand new warship. At this time, because he had smuggled goods from Tertuga and made a lot of money, the gold pounds on him returned to six figures again, and 11,000 gold pounds would not be a big deal.

When he returned to the auction hall after the transaction, the Arab who was probably Ammand's representative also joined the fight. The sword being auctioned was a good-looking rapier with a faint silver glow on the surface, which looked quite sharp. Fang Senyan couldn't help but think of Ammand when he saw the sword. It was estimated that this person wanted to buy it to honor him.

"One thousand pounds!"

The Arab Wahab quoted a new price. Fang Senyan shouted before he sat down:

"Two thousand pounds!"

Fang Senyan's offer was purely to disgust people and make them spend more money. At the same time, it also gave people the illusion that he wanted to buy everything, so that others could not figure out what he wanted. The Arab turned around and immediately saw Fang Senyan, who was contented, and then a sneer appeared on his face.

"Five thousand pounds!"

The Arab named Wahab immediately showed his wealth. He had the style of a tycoon of the oil kingdom in later generations. Five thousand pounds is equivalent to a brand new merchant ship, and he raised the price to that much without even blinking an eye, which immediately gave people the impression that he was truly not short of money.
