Chapter 358 (1/2)
Those charts were drawn on parchment and looked very old. Since only islands and routes are marked on the chart and there is no obvious continental outline, it is difficult to judge where these islands are located.
Petru didn't take it seriously after reading it. He thought it was just something made by some tomb robbers or cultural relics dealers. It was probably going to be smuggled to a place in Asia together with the mummy. There are often some abnormal rich people who like to collect strange things, such as rusty weapons, porcelain pots for ashes and bones from the dead, He also likes to rub away the jade articles taken out from the anus of the dead in his hand.
This is also in line with his rules. Unless you say hello to him in advance, all smuggled ships will be robbed. He doesn't care which gang you belong to. But the robbery cost a little, lost dozens of elite men, and got a mummy and several broken maps. The key is that the mummy was also thrown into the sea by superstitious Somali pirate brothers.
I don't know which museum the mummy came from. Although it may be very valuable, petru doesn't want to go to the sea to salvage the bodies of the ancients, and the value of the mummy after soaking in water is estimated to be greatly reduced.
Those sheepskin charts were good. He believed they were painted by a pirate centuries or more ago. The great cause of navigation on earth began not with trade, but with pirates. It was his ambitious and dedicated predecessors who found most of the continent and carefully mapped out the outline of the sea and land.
The islands marked on the chart may contain pirate treasures. Petru carefully collected them and studied them from time to time, but he was never able to study where the sea map meant.
After this operation, petru continued to recruit troops and prepare to implement his great plan - the transformation from a pirate to a political leader.
At that time, he didn't know what a disaster it would bring, so that he had to leave the Gulf of Aden, bypass most of the earth and hide in the South Pacific. In the end, it was the old charts that saved him.
He once thought that people like priests were very few in the whole human society. As for the guy who looked much stronger than priests at sea, he should be more rare, perhaps not much more than the number of black rhinos in West Africa. This black rhinoceros subspecies was once widely distributed in the prairie and was endangered due to excessive hunting. The International Union for conservation of nature declared it extinct as early as 2011, but one of petru's men vowed that he had seen black rhinoceros at the border between Cameroon and Chad.
However, in the following more than a year, petru encountered the most terrible experience of being chased and fled in his life.
The first one who came to the door was a small European. His mental ability was about the same as that of a priest, which was enough to subdue petru. However, the man's purpose was not to revenge and kill him, but to get the mummy and chart, so petru found a chance to escape. When he met the man again, as the priest said, he didn't even think. Almost driven by instinct, he shot the man very decisively at an appropriate distance. Although he wanted to know who they were and what organization they belonged to, he knew better that he had only two or three seconds to kill his opponent.
The bullet flew through the jungle on the east coast of Somalia and knocked out half of the man's face. Petru thought of the priest, who died exactly the same way. The man who killed the priest at that time probably knew the threat of the spiritual strong as he did.
