In the afternoon the panther Guray found a boat, and they reached the island of Saint-Kaiser by water.

The island is much larger than the original Black Island, has fresh water resources, and in the 19th century there was a silver mine on the island.

Although it was once controlled by the Spanish colonizers, it has since been part of the Kingdom of Poyakán.

The island was left with a humble but stocky fortress castle during the colonial period, and the Doge's Palace, which of course has long since been destroyed.

When he walked into this place, Lin Rui even thought that he had walked into some European castle.

Heavy piles of stone were everywhere, huge candlesticks hung from the hall, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the tables.

"This is where we're going to be?"

Lincoln frowned, "It just feels like it was centuries ago, and there wasn't even electricity here." ”

"Be content, it's nice to have a place to stay. ”

Sergei shrugged.

Long Noon said, "Anyway, this place is not bad. Stone watchtowers and even battery mounts. In the 18th century, it might have been a fortified fortress. ”

Silver Wolf turned around and said, "The location of this island is good, and the distance from the land is relatively moderate. I noticed that there seemed to be deep-water ports in the southeast, as well as rudimentary dock buildings. ”

"Of course, the Spanish colonizers used to mine silver here and transport the ore by ship. ”

Long Noon nodded, "So there's a very simple dock. And there is a small town near the dock, and there are villages in several other areas, which should have a population of more than 2,000. Basically fishermen. ”

"If we want to restore this place, we can hire them to work for us. ”

Lin Rui nodded.

"Now, of course, I'm their chief. ”

Long Noon shrugged, "I'm the Great Chief of St. Kaiser who was personally awarded the title by King Thornes. ”

As he spoke, there was a shout.

Long Noon frowned and said, "Sergey, what's wrong with you?"

"Boss, you got here"

Sergei's voice said.

"Damn, where did this Russian go?"

Long was helpless at noon.

A few people followed the sound to find a place upstairs in a room.

This kind of old castle-like building is not very well lit.

With great difficulty, the crowd found Sergei by a collapsed fireplace.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Rui frowned.

"Just whatever, but guess what I found?"

Sergei said excitedly.

"Have you found the ghost of the Spanish governor?"

Long Ziwu sneered, "Then you have to be careful, it is said that the last governor was hanged on the tower by a group of black slaves. ”

"I'm serious. ”

Sergei shook his head and said, "This collapsed fireplace has something weird, it seems to have some secret passage or something. ”

"Nonsense. ”

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This building is hundreds of years old, and if there is any secret passage, it has already been discovered." ”

Sergei shook his head repeatedly, "No, there must be something weird, your furnace should not have been built so big, which is not in line with the popular style in Europe at that time." And the width is not right. Come, do me a favor and remove these stones. ”

Lin Rui frowned and walked over and helped him remove some of the stones blocking the fireplace.

It seems that the back of this fireplace is actually made of metal, and I don't know how long it has been, and the color has long been oxidized and blackened.

"As I thought, it's a metal door, and it's never been opened in years. ”

Sergei said excitedly.

"It's impossible, isn't it? After so many years, how can it never be discovered?"

Lin Rui frowned.

"Because of this place, the locals are afraid to come. It is said that the last colonial governor was hanged outside his castle by the rebellious slave miners, and it has been regarded as an inauspicious place ever since. Locals never set foot here. ”

Long Noon patted the heavy wall and said, "The chimney behind this fireplace should be downward, leading to the basement. ”

"These kinds of European castles, especially for military purposes, are usually built with dungeons and the like. ”

Sergey tried to pick the door with his lock-picking attack.

The lock on the metal door has long since been rusted to the point where it can be picked.

In the end, several of them worked together to smash the door open with a crowbar.

There was a puff of humid air coming out from behind the door.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "It's ventilated inside?"

"Go down, there's nothing else to do in this place anyway. ”

Sergey said.

Several of them walked down the entrance together, it was dark underneath, but the air was circulating.

I guess there must have been a vent somewhere.

Lin Rui and the others turned on the tactical flashlight and walked into it all the way, it was really a dungeon.

The walls were covered with thick chains, wooden shackles, and iron cages hanging in the air.

Originally, this dungeon was supposed to have an exit to the ground, but now it may have collapsed and closed due to its age.

"The li was a place where prisoners were imprisoned and tortured. I began to understand why the colonial governor had been killed by the black slaves. ”

Lin Rui frowned.

"God, something terrible must have happened here. ”

Yelena was surprised by the blackened marks on the ground and said, "Are those bloodstains?"

"It should be. ”

Lin Rui frowned.

Every qiē here can still be used for the cruelty and oppression of black slaves by the colonists.

"Hey! ”

Sergei ran over from another basement.

"What did you find again?"

Lin Rui said curiously.

Sergei pulled something from the room with all his might, but he couldn't seem to pull it.

It was a rotten chest.

Lin Rui went up to help him, but he still couldn't pull it.

I pulled the handle of the box off.

Long Noon walked up and smashed the lock on the box with a crowbar in his hand.

When they opened it, they were all taken aback, and it was full of coins.

After building one, he was pleasantly surprised, "This is a gold coin." The royal coat of arms from above is supposed to be a Spanish gold coin from the 18th century. ”

Sergei couldn't help but whistle, "How much is this box worth?"

"I don't know, it's estimated to be worth more than 10 million. You Russian thief is really lucky this time. ”

Jiang Jian couldn't help but shake his head.

"It just so happens that we need to rebuild the company and the base. I mean, we can take that windfall and subsidize the necessary expenses. ”

Sergei shrugged.

"What? I heard you right? This guy doesn't want this money, and prefers to use it for the rebuilding of the company, is this still the Russian guy I know?"

Shogishi was surprised and said.

"Am I greedy for money?"

Sergei shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the silver wolf and the team, I would have rotted somewhere." Besides, I don't think I need the money more than the team. This time, even if I did my best. Mr. Long, what do you think?"

Long Noon smiled, "It's okay, this time it's a windfall." But my biggest takeaway wasn't the coins, it was the place. I really didn't expect that there was a big dungeon under this governor's palace. Moreover, this dungeon leads to the abandoned mine outside. If we build on this, we may be able to reconstruct what we need. ”

Silver Wolf put down a gold coin in his hand and frowned, "You mean we can use these old buildings and underground mines. ”

Long Noon nodded, "If these can be used, then it will greatly save us time and money." The outer stone walls and this Doge's Palace could be expanded. And these underground pits that extend in all directions can also be used to reinforce. Build a hidden building that is integrated with it. ”

Long Noon made a point, and everyone agreed to start rebuilding on this basis.

Of course, this will also require them to carry out a series of surveys, including the safety performance of the Doge's Palace and the underground pits, which will be re-evaluated.

In the end, Dragon Noon and Silver Wolf agreed.

The Governor's Palace, located high on the island, was already difficult to adapt to their requirements.

The Doge's Palace will not be retained, but most of the underground pit will remain very safe.

They chose to build the island's satrap's castle and the abandoned copper mines into a complex fortress and tunnel structure.

The original rudimentary stone buildings were overturned and replaced by a large number of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures.

The abandoned pit was redeveloped, re-excavated and reinforced.

All of this was done by Angel, who is not only a shrewd treasurer, but also a master at handling such matters.

Black Panther Ghuray and the others were in charge of contacting his previous relationships.

Lin Rui can't be idle during this time, because the renovation project requires a lot of funds.

The gold coins that Sergei found were still a drop in the bucket for the entire renovation project.

So some of the contracts that Kuroshima had taken over before had to start to be fulfilled.

Therefore, after a short two-day rest, Lin Rui found his companions with a stack of papers.

"We've had a good rest these days, and we have to do something. ”

"I can't help it, I feel like I'm getting rusty from the sea breeze here. ”

Snakeeye shrugged.

"What task?"

Yelena also turned her head sharply.

"You can't imagine who we were the first to receive this mission. ”

Lin Rui smiled slightly.

Jiang An frowned and said, "At least it won't be the U.S. ** side, Lannis now wants to kill us." ”

"Of course not, this contract was offered by the arms dealer Alpha, but the employer is someone else. ”

Lin Rui said slowly.

"So, Alpha is just a middleman. So who's the employer?"

Yelena said strangely.

"The Russian military, to be precise"

Lin Rui said slowly, "They offered a very good price and wanted to hire us to save someone." ”
