"This rusty knife is worthless in my hands, the thing that really makes me wonder and pay for it, is the sheath!"

Chen Ergou stroked the leather of the knife cover carefully, pondered for a while and said: "...it's not the right leather."

The audience in the live broadcast room became curious, crackling question marks.

"There is often a saying: a good horse matches a good saddle, and a good knife matches a good set. One knife has a knife case. In the pirate era, the custom-made knives were all handmade, and it should be more strict. You don't think this knife Is the handle very inconsistent with the color of the pocket?"

"And this scabbard is made of sheepskin leather. The soft sheepskin is not suitable for making a knife case. It is still such a sharp machete."

Chen Ergou became interested, regardless of the occasion. I found a secluded place, took out the knife and began to remove the sutures of the knife case.

After removing the outer leather and a few old-fashioned rivets, there is a layer of protective leather inside, which is non-slip and anti-friction. However, the inner leather is not cut and stitched, but folded and applied. It was weird to the touch, thick, and no wonder he found it an eyesore at first sight.

The leather on the inner layer of the knife case is covered with rust, and it must not have been cleaned for many years. Fortunately, the folded side in the inner layer is well protected and there is not much damage. He spread it out vigorously, revealing a mixed piece of soft sheepskin inside. Spread out, suddenly it is a large roll of sheepskin.

After careful confirmation, he smiled and said to the camera, "That's right, it's a parchment roll."

"As we all know, parchment is a material for making books or providing writing. It is not only made of lambskin, but sometimes calfskin is also used. Around 170 BC, King Eumenes II of Pergamum was the first to use it. Parchment. The sheepskin is treated with lime, the wool is cut off, and then softened with a pumice stone to become this new writing material. These sheepskins are bound into booklets, called manuscripts, and then bound into volumes to make it a handed down The sheepskin classics of later generations."

"The manuscript has been on parchment ever since."

"The reason why parchment is gradually replacing papyrus is that it can be written on both sides, the rougher side is not usually used for writing, and it helps prevent ink from penetrating the paper, and medieval Europeans used goose feathers. Pen. Because of the special material of the parchment, it can make the writing of the quill pen appear full of color, and it is no problem to fold it into a book."

"It is said that the Bible is written in parchment, and there are endless legends about parchment in many pirate legends. If I read correctly, this should be a map of a legendary pirate parchment. But the drawing style is medieval sea Picture, I can’t figure out where it is for a while.”

The viewers who were still in the live broadcast room until now were elated. They didn't expect another surprise for them just before the end.

There have always been rumors in the antique world that there are people who get rich by picking up leaks, most of them are heard, but they didn't expect it to happen in front of them. The most important thing...is the parchment map left by the pirates.

So here comes the question:

The pirates tried their best to hide the parchment map in the shape of a knife sheath. Why?

Is the place drawn on the parchment map a pirate treasure map, or a nautical chart? After all, in that period, the nautical charts of the hidden routes were also very precious.

If it is a treasure, has this treasure been excavated, and will it end up in vain?

All kinds of questions came to my mind, which really made my heart itch, and then asked crazy questions on the barrage, most of them said they wanted to look at the map. "Brothers or not, we are blessed to share, and if we dig up the treasure, we will meet and share half of it."

When it comes to pirate treasures, especially in the eyes of historians and adventurers, it is too mysterious. It is really a god-like existence, which they have dreamed of all their lives, but in the eyes of ordinary people, many people think that these legendary treasures, including the huge gold left by pirates,

These things are a bit illusory, just legends.

But in the eyes of these historians and adventurers, these things are not groundless.

Through their own surveys, they believe that many things are real, and some of their views have been confirmed in reality. There are indeed many legendary treasures, and those explorers are allowed to find them.

Open the webpage and search casually, you can find that there are indeed many examples of explorers making a fortune by unearthing treasures, but this process is often long, and decades are often the case. They can finally discover the treasure, relying on unremitting interest and dedication, of course luck is more important.

Chen Ergou did not show the map drawn on the parchment in front of the camera, even though the map is very simple.

He was very excited at first, but when he found that he couldn't understand it, he gradually calmed down, shook his head and said, "Don't take it for granted. Maybe it's just a random chart. I don't know much about it. It's over.... No, I have to go back and talk to my good friend Rom, maybe I can get more information."

The audience was almost drunk, "Just now you looked like you didn't care about others, but now you call him a good friend, you can change your face faster than a storyteller."

He smiled and said, "Thank you for spending the day with me today. It's already late in China, everyone should go to bed earlier. This is the end of my trip to Casablanca, Morocco. If there is no accident, I will take the flight back home tomorrow. Your gifts will also be sent out in time after you return to your country, please pay attention to checking the express delivery in the last few days if you have won the lottery."

People in the live broadcast room shouted unwillingly, "Don't turn off the broadcast, what is the map we want to see?", "It's such a disgusting feeling, I was going to turn off the broadcast just now and go to sleep, but now I don't want to sleep at all.", "Master Dog Good voyage, welcome back to China!", "Good night, Mr. Dog, please let us know if there is any new news.", "Mr. Dog, when will the next broadcast start?", "Don't make us wait too long."...

Chen Ergou smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, thank you for your concern. You can follow my Weibo and live broadcast room, and I will notify you in advance of the next broadcast. Good night, everyone."

After closing the live broadcast room, he wrapped the parchment carefully, and ran back to greet his good friend Rohm, a bankrupt Belgian businessman.

As for the interesting things that happened during this period, except that Goudan is still faithfully recording them, outsiders don't know about them.

...

The next day, take a Qatar flight from Casablanca to Shanghai.

He had to bring a lot of things, and the big and small bags would cost a little effort at best. Unexpectedly, the bird egg almost made him unable to pass the test.

If he hadn't only carried one egg, he would have even been arrested on suspicion of smuggling bird eggs.

Fortunately, after explaining clearly, the Moroccan customs did not make it difficult for him. This kind of thing happens a lot here. Some tourists pick up ostrich eggs, and of course they can't help but want to take them back as souvenirs. Although such a large bird egg is rare, it is not uncommon.

First of all, you have to go to the customs to declare animal and plant inspection and quarantine. After returning home, you have to go through another inspection and quarantine. After that, you may not be able to take it home directly. Depending on the actual situation, you will see if a period of isolation and observation is required.

Even if all the procedures are in compliance with the laws and regulations, maybe there is a small problem and all previous efforts will be wasted!

For this bird egg, he really worked hard and worked hard. Occasionally, I also thought about it, and simply threw it directly into the trash can. Fortunately, the third uncle persuaded him: so many procedures have been completed, it would be a waste if you throw it away now. In this way, this ill-fated egg was saved.

Morocco is visa-free for Chinese passports, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the country, which finally saves a lot of effort.

The flight took off, flew over the blue waters of the Sinai Peninsula, crossed the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, and passed through cities on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. The flight lasted about 8 hours and arrived at Pudong International Airport at 1:00 pm domestic time.

Wearing an ordinary jacket and T-shirt, he pushed the suitcase out of the airport, unexpectedly, someone recognized him as soon as he came out.

"Master Dog?!"

This earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods startled half of the people in the terminal.
