Chapter 106: Instant Wealth (1)

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

How much treasure had Edward obtained over the past decade?

Some people said that his treasure could pile up into a small mountain.

Some said it could fill an entire ship.

However, no one expected that his treasures would actually cover thousands of square meters of the pool.

In the dark underground space, under the illumination of the torch, a brilliant golden light was revealed from the ghastly white bones and the dark mud.

The gold coins were buried underneath!

Ji Chen was silent for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses.

His heart immediately became excited.

This time, they were really going to make a fortune!

If the bottom of the pool was filled with gold coins, how many would there be?

Without wasting any time, Ji Chen ordered the pirates to return to the surface. He had Sparrow, who was guarding the surface, bring the other half of the pirates down to increase their manpower.

Perhaps it was Edward’s bad taste. Before he died, he spread the gold coins at the bottom of the pool so that the ghost pirates would be alerted first, and the gold coins would only be found after they were defeated.

Although this design shocked Ji Chen and the others at first glance, it also brought some trouble.

This was because they had to clean up the bones and mud first before they could put the scattered gold coins into the boxes before taking them away.

Ji Chen pursed his lips as he looked at the vast expanse of the pool’s bottom.

It seemed that they would need to spend quite a bit of time here.

Sparrow quickly descended with the other pirates. Their astonishment was evident upon seeing the sea of bones at the pool’s bottom.

Then, they witnessed the radiant gold revealed amidst the scattered bones and mud that had been blasted open by the Sea Pixies. Their eyes widened in awe.

“You, along with the pirates, dig out all the treasures here and load them onto crates to be transported back to the New Moon.”

“Yes!” Sparrow nodded in agreement.

Promptly rallying the pirates, they jumped into the pool and joined the excavation effort.

Ji Chen turned to Alice and noticed her puzzled expression. Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked.

Alice hesitated for a moment before speaking, “My Lord, why are you exerting so much effort to dig out these glowing things?”

Glowing things?

Ji Chen chuckled and quickly realized the misunderstanding.

Alice was a Siren, living her life in the ocean, and had no need for money or the concept of currency.

In her eyes, gold coins were probably just shiny pieces of rubbish.

“These are gold coins. In human society, they hold a special value and can be exchanged for various resources. Our territory is in great need of gold coins.”

Alice had a sudden realization, “So, the delicious food I eat and the beautiful human clothes 1 wear also require gold coins for exchange?”

“Exactly.”

“In that case, we’ll need to dig up more.” She nodded earnestly.

Then, as if remembering something, she continued, “When I used to roam the seas on my own, 1 discovered many of these glowing things in sunken human ships… um, they all shine.”

Sunken ships?

Ji Chen’s interest was immediately piqued. “Where did you find them?”

“They’re everywhere on the seabed… um, but if I had to pinpoint a specific location, it would be in the Stormy Seas region, not far from the New Moon Archipelago.”

“If you wish to find them, my Lord, 1 can guide you.”

Ji Chen’s face lit up with joy.

The oceans of the Western Continent were densely traversed by maritime routes, bustling with trade and numerous ships sailing back and forth.

Just like the sea routes between the Blue Star Europa and the New Continent, there were countless ships that sank into the depths of the ocean due to harsh weather conditions, wars, pirate raids, and other circumstances.

Due to the depths, water pressure, and marine creatures, most of these sunken ships lay at the bottom of the sea, rarely discovered and resurfaced by human beings.

But for Ji Chen, it was like returning home—a vast expanse of water where he could come and go as he pleased.

These submerged ships, hidden from the world, were like treasures waiting to be excavated.

Seeing that excavating the treasures would take some time, Ji Chen didn’t linger. He picked up the map from the coffin and examined the hiding place of the Whitebeard.

Like the treasures, the Whitebeard had also been brought to this island by Edward, but its location was on the other end of the island.

Returning to the valley on the surface, Ji Chen approached the waterfall on the left.

His eyes narrowed as he held the map in his left hand and raised his right hand.

The cascading waterfall, as if blocked by an invisible hand, abruptly split in the air several meters above the ground, defying gravity and flowing to both sides.

In the middle, a gap appeared, revealing a cave.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen took the lead and entered the cave.

Following the winding path of the cave, he walked for almost an hour until the darkness gradually gave way to a colossal cavern.

At the top, there was an opening through which sunlight slanted, providing illumination to the cavern.

In the center of the cavern, there was a dry dock where a massive warship was berthed.

With five towering masts, numerous cannons lined on both sides of the hull, and a gigantic metal anchor resembling a unicorn’s horn, the ship stood like a behemoth.

Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel awed, realizing how insignificant he was standing in front of this warship, like an ant.

So, this was Edward’s Whitebeard?

It seemed even larger than a palace ship.

No wonder it managed to escape from the clutches of an entire fleet of the kingdom. Just by looking at the heavily armored hull and the dense array of cannons, one could gauge its formidable power.

However, Ji Chen also noticed some signs of damage on the Whitebeard. They must have been inflicted during the siege.

Edward, being severely injured, had only managed to bury the treasures without having enough time to repair the ship..
