Pirate Codex

The red-haired man's eyes were full of golden light, and he tremblingly took the treasure and looked through it one by one.

Bowness was rummaging through a few swords in the treasure pile, but showed little interest in money.

Arthur squinted his eyes and looked at the cold light reflected by the sword in Bowness's hand, feeling very moved in his heart.

Captain Jack was also very cautious about playing the role. The actors he chose were all helpless teenagers, and the props he was given were all rusty and broken swords and daggers.

If it weren't for his incredible recovery and the success of his plan to pretend to be dead, he might not have been able to kill him.

But speaking of identity, little Arthur is an orphan who has just arrived after his parents died, Hongmao is a beggar without a father or mother, Bowness is also a shipwreck survivor, but Danny is the son of a powerful businessman in his family.

Arthur looked back at Danny, who was flipping through the book carefully, and all kinds of conspiracies and strife he had seen while watching the show in his previous life welled up in his heart.

There must be a story in this

But it has nothing to do with me. As a Zhan Wu Zha who just came through time, it is better for me to be wretched and developed.

If he stupidly rushes into the disputes between big shots, he may not even know how he will die.

Arthur turned back, squatted down, picked up a green copper coin from the ground, put it in his hand and rubbed it slowly.

The copper coin is slightly heavy and has a faint fishy smell. The same Arabic numeral 10 as in the previous life is engraved on the front. Below the number is a seagull spreading its wings.

On the back is a cross with five small circles. Yang Ming knows that this is the symbol of the world government.

This is a copper coin worth 10 Baileys. Its purchasing power is equivalent to that of an apple. Little Arthur would occasionally follow his father into the city to set up a fruit stall. The most common coin he saw was the 10 Baileys copper coin.

Moreover, the fruits in this world seem to be the same as in the previous life. There is not much difference. What was available in the previous life is basically available here.

Arthur flipped through it hastily. Here, there are 500 Baileys, 100 Baileys, 50 Baileys and 10 Baileys copper coins. Of course, from Arthur's memory, there are also 5 Baileys and 1 Baileys. of copper coins.

In addition to copper coins, there are also several bundles of banknotes worth 10000 Baileys, 5000 Baileys and 1000 Baileys, but not many.

In this cave, the largest number is all kinds of gold coins.

"Bailey is a currency uniformly issued by the world government and mandatory for all countries to recognize and use. It has strong circulation."

Danny closed the logbook and came to Arthur's side.

"However, most kings and nobles in various countries are accustomed to and insist on using gold coins. Our transactions with nobles are usually gold coins."

Arthur silently glanced at Danny's mouth, and after confirming that the two of them kept a safe distance, he nodded clearly.

It seems that the monetary system here is also based on the gold standard. With gold as the standard currency, Bailey's value is equivalent to a certain amount of gold.

However, the World Government can make the whole world use Bailey settlement uniformly. It is very capable and courageous.

But in this way, there is a lot of work to be done in the exchange between gold coins and Bailey.

"We usually go through the money exchange to exchange gold coins and baileys."

"The money exchanges are all jointly run by some big businessmen. The prices are fair and the reputation is guaranteed."

Danny looked at the pile of treasures calmly, with golden light reflected in his forest green eyes, and continued to explain to Arthur.

Well, there are indeed smart people everywhere. Arthur touched his nose and felt a little regretful.

"Although it has nothing to do with me, after all, we are companions. I want to remind you." Danny turned to look at Arthur.

"If all the gold coins here are converted into 10,000 beli banknotes, even if it is 20 million beli, divided into three people, it will only be six or seven per person, which is enough to carry."

"But here are all gold coins and antiques that you can't get rid of at the moment. Have you figured out how to take them away?"

Arthur nodded. Now he has background but no background, and strength but no strength. Carrying these treasures is like a child holding gold to get through the bustling city. Without corresponding strength, it is impossible to keep these wealth.

After Arthur thought for a moment, he took a deep look at Danny, and then said: "Before that, I want to understand your situation first."

Oh

Danny looked at Arthur in surprise. He did have the idea of ​​helping him deal with the treasures, but he didn't expect that Arthur had the same idea, and he also had some guesses about what happened to him.

Danny was inevitably a little surprised. With his previous battle plan and his current thoughts, his initial view of Arthur was indeed too arbitrary. He was also a smart man.

In the future, you should still think carefully when looking at people.

After pondering for a moment, Danny looked stern, and then pretended to be calm and said:

"My father is seriously ill and my elder brother accidentally plotted against me. But it's okay. I will get it back from him when I go back."

After being caught here, Danny thought about it. The escort he went out with happened to be one of his eldest brothers. When passing by a dark alley, the escort happened to disappear, and he also happened to be slapped.

There is no doubt that the initiator is his eldest brother, and this fact also gives Danny a big blow.

Brothers are jealous. Arthur frowned slightly and began to think deeply.

After Danny finished speaking, he saw Arthur frowning with a look of disbelief on his face, and the fire of dissatisfaction in his heart beat wildly for a few times, but finally he was discouraged.

After all, he is still just a young man, his thoughts and methods are still immature, and he is not very confident when facing his elder brother.

"Don't worry, my father is only seriously ill. He is being treated by a famous doctor from the Drum Kingdom. He will definitely be fine in the future. When I go back, I will also ask my uncle for some powerful bodyguards to protect him."

"My uncle is the Sheriff of Al Ain District and has many good people under his command, who are enough to protect my safety."

In fact, Danny's disadvantage is only that he is young and has just started to get involved in part of the family business. He is not as capable as his older half-brothers in controlling the family business.

In addition, on weekdays, his eldest brother pretended to get along well with him, so when his father was seriously ill, Danny did not expect that his eldest brother would do something to him, and he would be plotted against him.

Of course, in the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can know who is responsible. When Danny returns, his father will definitely stand up for him, and his eldest brother will also calm down for a while.

And with such a buffer time, as long as Danny waits until he returns, gets the support of his mother's family, and begins to further control his own part of the family business, he can at least compete with his eldest brother.

"And, so does my father"

"make a deal"

"Ah, what did you say?" Danny was slightly stunned.

"I said it's a deal, we are friends, I believe you can do it." Arthur said with a kind smile.

Apart from Danny, I had no one else I could trust, and it was also very beneficial for me as a newbie to befriend the son of a big businessman.

"Then you just"

"Just now I was just thinking about how to spend the money in the future." Arthur winked at Danny, then turned to Bowness and Red Hair and shouted:

"We can't take away so much treasure. I'm going to give my share to Danny to help exchange it. What about you?"

"Please help me redeem it, Danny." Bowness raised his head from the sword and asked Danny stiffly with a sullen face.

"No problem." Danny nodded. After getting along with him for a few days, he was already used to Bowness's abruptness.

"That" Hong Mao held an exquisite golden bowl in his hand. He reluctantly looked at the pile of treasures, then looked at Arthur, and then nodded:

"Then I'll trouble you too."

"I'll find someone to handle it when we get back." Danny said to the three of them with a smile.

After being betrayed by his brother, and falling into self-denial and pain, it was such a joy to be able to gain friends and trust. Danny smiled happily.
