After a few polite words, Noleta, who has many freckles on her face and sagging skin, talked about work.
"After leaving Adak Island, the six of us in the team have been searching for sunken ships and stone statues in Lake Mariutis for Mr. Nayel. Unfortunately, we found nothing. Then he invited you."
"What equipment have you used?" Zhang Jing asked with concern.
"Drag sonar," Noleta said angrily, "but there are many fish nets in the lake, and the equipment has suffered heavy losses. Instead of making money, we are losing money."
Some equipment in the treasure hunting process is very important and expensive, including Zhang Jing's treasure hunt. For example, in the Burlington Underground Cave, the underwater robot alone cost more than 3 million yuan.
"Take me to the wreck site Nayel said."
"No problem," Noleta asked curiously, "Where are your teammates?"
Zhang Jing explained casually, "They are temporarily busy and will come over in a few days."
Noleta didn't ask the question, and took Zhang Jing to walk more than 400 meters from the motel to the lakeside pier. There were some fishing boats and beautiful fishing boats here.
"This is the boat we rented," Noleta pointed to an old fishing boat with a diesel engine. "It looks old, but it's quite easy to use."
Lake Mariutis is about 60 kilometers long from east to west, about 10 kilometers wide from north to south, with an average water depth of 50 meters. It is close to the Mediterranean Sea, and the embankment between the lake and the sea is only as wide as a road.
There are many small islands in the middle of the lake, which look picturesque and beautiful.
Mechanic Gerry started the fishing boat and headed towards the target location, driving about twenty kilometers. Noleta pointed to the three islands in the middle of the lake and said, "Mr. Nayel said that the treasure ship with the stone statues sank here." Within the triangle area.”
Zhang Jing stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the three islands in the middle of the lake. They were about 1.5 to 2 kilometers apart, and the area in the triangle was not small.
To highlight the key points, some information may be wrong. There are far more than three small islands in the middle of the lake, and more than a hundred years have passed.
Zhang Jing pointed to his feet and asked, "How deep is the water here?"
"About 50 meters." Noleta answered.
Zhang Jingneng accepts that the diving depth is 40 meters, and 50 meters is his restricted area.
"Thank you," Zhang Jing noted the location, "Go back, I need to wait for my companions to come over."
Noleta said nothing and ordered Gerry to turn around and return to the small town of Batim.
"Do you need a boat?" Noleta asked Zhang Jing on the dock, "This fishing boat can be subleased to you directly. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆·无码first~~"
"No, thank you." Zhang Jing refused the kindness.
With nothing else to do, Noleta and Gerry left. Their mission was over and they went to see Zhang Jing.
At this time, Mike called. He and Dillon had arrived in Cairo and were buying a car and a boat. They would arrive in the evening.
Mike is 28 years old, 1.8 meters tall, weighs 90 kilograms, has dark purple skin and a strong body. He was forced to retire from the army because of high pressure in life.
Di Long, 31 years old, is 1.75 meters tall, has a disabled left leg and is a bit sloppy. He is mechanical and used to be a master of Frisbee.
Nothing happened in the afternoon. Zhang Jing went back to the hotel and lay on the lo-style wooden bed, with his legs crossed and his hands on the back of his head, thinking about the mission from the beginning.
Now it seems that Nayel is really looking for something and is not trying to kill himself.
Since you are really looking for something, let's think about the problem itself. Nayel's great-grandfather was a puppet army. This fact is not unusual. During the colonial period, the Yin Kingdom would recruit some local people as puppet soldiers wherever they went.
The strange thing is, how does a little puppet army know which ship is the treasure ship? You actually know the address where the treasure ship sank?
Putting yourself in my shoes, this is obviously problematic.
The simplest consideration is, of course, that the people from the Yin Kingdom deliberately let Great-grandfather Nayel know about it and let outsiders see it.
If the Yin people did it on purpose, a new question is, why did they do this?
Zhang Jing knew a little bit about this problem. In 1900, the Yin Kingdom's colonization of Africa was already a day lily and could collapse at any time.
Before the complete collapse, the Yin people were anxious to send a large number of valuable items looted in Africa, including gold, silver, jewelry, ivory, artwork, etc., back to Europe. This process was very hurried.
Similar to South Vietnam time and Kabul time, it is very urgent.
The land is anxious, and the sea is also anxious. The world's enemy, Spain, is blocking the Yin merchant ships everywhere in the Mediterranean. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

, the goal is also to rob treasure ships hidden in ordinary ships.
Is it possible that the people of the Yin Kingdom knew that the treasure ship could not be sent away, so they sank it deliberately so that outsiders could see it?
Here’s the point, were the good things hidden before the treasure ship sank?
Let's think with our toes and put ourselves in someone else's shoes. As long as the people in Yin are not fools, good things are 100% not on board!
Zhang Jing jumped out of bed with excitement and went to the boss on the first floor of the hotel to buy a map of Bartim.
Batim is very small, not as big as an ordinary town. It is less than 2 kilometers long from east to west, and less than 2 kilometers long and wide from north to south. Because he has walked through it before, Zhang Jing can clearly identify the direction and some buildings based on the map. ..
The Ngzhen Temple next to the pier used to be a bar for Yin people in the early days, and was later converted into a religious activity venue.
Located on the hilltop northeast of the town, there are some ancient military buildings there. It was once an important defensive outpost for the Yin people and now belongs to a private farmer.
The largest building in the town is the local school, located directly south of the town.
After thinking about it, Zhang Jing knocked on the door of the guest room next door and told 13-year-old Zainab, "I have something to do when I go out. You wait here for me to come back."
Zainab behaves as he should.
After leaving the hotel, Zhang Jing first came to Ngzhen Temple, an earthy yellow building with two pillars about 20 meters high, which looked very interesting.
You need to take off your shoes to enter the interior.
There were not many people in the hall. There were three people praying and two people sitting in the corner whispering.
Since it is a semi-public place, no one is blocking entry.
Zhang Jing took the initiative to walk up to the "host" who was wearing a temple robe and looked to be in his seventies and was chatting in the corner.
The person who talks about things in ngzhen temple is not called the host. The meaning is similar but slightly different. It plays an important role in daily religious activities.
Under normal circumstances, the abbot is also a prestigious local elder and a mediator who mediates conflicts among believers.
"Excuse me," Zhang Jing put his left hand on his chest, "I am a loyal believer of a certain Lord. Can I donate to this place?"
The host doesn't understand English.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man who was chatting with him could act as a translator in the middle.
Hearing this, the old host was overjoyed and said, "Of course, how much do you plan to donate?"
"10,000 yuan."
The average monthly salary in the small town of Batim is about 2,500 to 4,000 Egyptian pounds, which is between R25 and 1,481. RMB 10,000 is undoubtedly a huge wealth.
The host was very excited and held Zhang Jing's hands cordially, "What can I do for you?"
"No," Zhang Jing looked generous, "I am a travel enthusiast. I just hope that the local people will not reject me."
"No," the host vowed solemnly, "I promise you in the name of a certain Lord that you will have a very happy life in Batim and will not encounter any rejection, difficulty, or deception."
