"Treasure Map?" Xu Mo glared at the parchment roll spread flat on the table.

This broken sheepskin scroll is an irregular triangle, depicting part of the Mediterranean sea and coast. The land part depicts an ancient city, with a hill to the south of the ancient city, and a small box radiating light on the top of the mountain.

"This is something I found in Lilu's gold coin box. The Dutch beauty used this treasure map to mortgage five thousand gold coins." Serna looked at the old K-squad member of the captain's room and smiled bitterly, "Maybe she thinks that it is impossible to find the so-called treasure with this incomplete treasure map. Or maybe she has searched it a few times and has given up now."

"Then you asked her to use this piece of waste paper to mortgage five thousand gold coins!" Max murmured in a low voice.

Lieutenant Colonel of Germany has now learned about the prices of the world of navigation. Five thousand Dutch gold shields are not a small number. For seamen who have been making a living at sea for many years, five thousand gold coins are equivalent to a sloop sailboat and can be used for offshore trade.

"You will understand by touching this treasure map yourself!" Selna rolled her eyes to Max without hesitation.

Xu Mo's heart moved and reached out to press the parchment roll. His face changed suddenly, and a prompt message appeared in his soul mark.

"Reincarnation No. 228, you have found some clues about King Solomon's treasure, and a special competitive mission is opened."

"Competitive Mission: King Solomon's Treasure (Level B). King Solomon established a powerful and wealthy country, stocked up a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and hid them in mysterious places in case of emergencies. Among these treasures, some treasures of the gods were hidden and revered as holy objects by humans in the sailing world."

"Tip: This competitive mission will be rewarded according to the completion degree of the mission. The number of holy objects owned by the treasure is temporarily unknown. If any holy objects are obtained, additional rewards will be issued to the space."

"Warning: The treasure map is not complete, and the overall treasure map of the space calculation is roughly divided into two to five parts. The two major space teams holding the treasure map will mark and refresh the holder's geographical location on the proven world map every three natural days. Only after giving up the treasure map will the location marking disappear."

"Note: Currently, there is one team of reincarnation who has treasure maps. The difficulty of this task may increase as the number of teams holding the treasure map increases."

Others from the old K Group also stepped forward and touched the treasure map. After obtaining the mission information, everyone fell into silence. Judging from the experience of the Spartan world, B-level competitive tasks are not impossible to complete, but the old K Group's current situation is not suitable for this task.

Can you find King Solomon's treasure with this treasure map? In addition, just marking the geographical location of the team in the space will bring them great risks. After all, they have a great enemy, the Temple of the Gods, staring at them.

"From the sea and land displayed in this treasure map, this ancient city should be Jerusalem! Is the hill in the south of the city a common holy land of Judaism and Christianity - Mount Zion?" Dinah said hesitantly.

"If it was Mount Zion, then contact King Solomon's treasure, the box on the top of the mountain... Could it be that thing?" Max's face suddenly changed, and a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.

"What, doesn't this box represent treasure?" Xu Mo asked in a little confused. As an atheist Chinese, he really has no research on the history of Jerusalem and Christianity.

"No, BOSS! If the world of navigation overlaps with the history of the earth, then this small box may not necessarily represent a treasure, it may be a sacred object!" Serna stared at the treasure map and said a little serious, "Even the Orientals should have heard of it, the sacred object that houses the Ten Commandments of God's Stone Monument - the Golden Ark of the Covenant!"

"The Golden Ark of the Covenant..." Xu Mo was shocked. He suddenly understood why Selna used five thousand gold coins to exchange for this treasure map. For Westerners like Max, Selna, and Dinah, regardless of whether they have faith or not, the influence of Christianity is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Save it, anyway, we are the only team with the treasure map now." Xu Mo sighed, "But there is one thing you should remember that once this competitive mission affects our battle with the Temple of the Gods, I will destroy this treasure map immediately so as not to expose our location to the Temple of the Gods."

"BOSS, we understand this. However, since this treasure map has been marked so thoroughly, why does the space still prompt us that we are just a broken map?" Everyone looked at each other and asked in confusion.

Xu Mo pondered for a moment and explained, "There are many possibilities. King Solomon's treasures may not be stored in one place. Doesn't the space indicate that the number of holy objects is unknown? Jerusalem is a religious city. It is possible that in addition to the Golden Ark, there may be other holy objects, such as: the Holy Grail, the Shroud, and the Gun of Langnukis. Of course, it may also be that the treasure is buried underground in Mount Zion, and other treasure maps have clues about the underground treasure house."

"At present, only one of our teams has the treasure map. This competitive task is difficult at level B. Could it be that we will encounter other obstacles during the treasure hunt?" Serna pondered for a moment and frowned.

"It should be! Selna, don't forget that since the treasure map can be obtained by Lilu, it is naturally possible to be owned by other plot forces. Not to mention other parts of the treasure map, even the same treasure map should have copies." Dinah said with a smile, "In addition to these, the treasure may also have guards and mechanism traps. Perhaps the difficulty of level B is just a preliminary calculation of the space!"

"Okay, don't think about these things. The treasure map is to be kept by me. Let's talk about this later!" Xu Mo picked up the parchment roll and threw it into his personal storage space. At the same time, he turned to Selna and asked, "Does there anything else to say after Lilu handed you the gold coins and the treasure map?"

"Oh, by the way! That Dutch beauty asked you to take good care of Camille and Emilio. They are going to Copenhagen now and will only set off to Amsterdam after they have dealt with the goods. When they return to Amsterdam, Lilu will help you collect information, then hand it over to the local Swedish intelligence agency, and then pass it to other Mediterranean ports through carrier pigeons. We can get this information in the Mediterranean coastal ports!"

"BOSS, you're actually losing a little if you only have 20,000 gold coins this time!" Serna shrugged and continued, "I saw a ship full of whale oil and a whole box of ambergris on their ship. It seems that they have just returned from purchasing goods from the North Sea whaling ship."

"Haha, with the Vasa, the effect of gold coins is very limited. If it weren't for the sailors on the ship to boost morale, I wouldn't have to fight so quickly!" Xu Mo smiled and shook his head, "Other of you except Max, please go out! By the way, let Barron, Tiellire and Christina come to the captain's room."

"Admiral Alfred, do you call us?" After the members of the old K Group went out, Tieli and his three men quickly entered the captain's room.

"Well, although there is only one small episode in this naval battle, it is our first battle. I decided to reward all the sailors on the ship." Xu Mo nodded to the two, "Iron Lili, there are 15,000 gold coins here, one-third of which can be used as the spoils of warship crew members, and you will be distributed. Each ordinary sailor is five, each of the helmsman and sail cables is 10, 20 alternate officers, 50 official officers, and as for you and Christina, 100 gold coins each."

"Admiral, you are so generous!" Tielli said with a smile.

The crew of the Vasa was not real pirates. As a royal-sponsored privateer ship, they only had one-third of their privateer income. This victory actually had nothing to do with most sailors, and at most they could only be regarded as experiencing the actual combat atmosphere.

There are more than 500 people on the Vasa. Although each sailor only has a few gold coins, if one cent is divided, it will almost cost thousands of gold coins. However, with the purchasing power of the Age of Navigation, these gold coins are enough to allow ordinary people to have enough food and clothing for one or two months.

"I'm the same as Tiellire?" Christina blinked.

"Well, you are the same as Tiellile!" Xu Mo glanced at Christina and said with a smile, "I was about to tell you that you are the stormtrooper of the Vasa now."

"Hmph! Is it counting now? Lord Alfred, I am very dissatisfied with your distrust." Christina frowned and snorted coldly.

"Haha!" Xu Mo smiled awkwardly, "What do you want?"

"I think it is necessary to practice sword skills with you so as to increase your confidence in me, the storm captain!" Christina's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"Then...well, when I have time, we will... fight again?" Xu Mo curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

Just now on the bridge, he saw Christina's beautiful volleyball attack. Later, because of the fight with Emilio, he no longer continued to pay attention.

"Admiral, if nothing else, then we'll go out first." Tielli winked at Christina.

"Well, okay, remember to send some rum to the sailors tonight, and everyone will celebrate today's victory!" Xu Mo nodded. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and use gold coins and alcohol to combine the Viking sailors into a whole as soon as possible.

After Christina and Tieli were listed, Xu Mo's face darkened and he turned to look at Max and Barron, "You two tell the members of the Musketeers that this time the Musketeers have no rewards, and they are not allowed to attend the celebration party in the evening!"

Hearing Xu Mo's harsh words, Barron and Max were strangely not dissatisfied. Barron even had a sigh of relief on his face and said respectfully: "You have not punished the Musketeers, and the members of the Musketeers dare not ask for rewards anymore."

"Just understand, go out!" A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, "Tell everyone in the Musket Team that if they neglect their duties, they will get back to Uppsala. I don't need a group of honor guards that can only be used as decorations."

"Yes, Lord Admiral!" Barron responded with his head held high and his chest raised, but anger flashed in his eyes.
