Zhang Fan bowed for a while, knowing that this white elephant king may have a deep relationship with Fuxian Bodhisattva, or it is the manifestation of the Dharma body of Fuxian Bodhisattva, and he will transform African beings here. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, and that no matter what kind of living being, they will be taught accordingly, and will be given wisdom to give them the karma to become Buddhas.

It is necessary to know that the bodhisattva makes a vow and vows are vast, needless to say, it seems inconceivable that the white elephant of Fuxian will transform the African elephant. There is also a Jizo Bodhisattva who has transformed sinners in hell, vowing "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha!" "Zhang Fan thought of those hell corpse monsters, to transform such beings and make them Buddhas, it was inconceivable to think about it.

Just when everyone was about to get out of the cave, when they passed by the old elephant who was sleeping on the elephant bone mountain, Zhang Fan prayed again. After Zhang Fan's prayer, the corpse of the old elephant suddenly collapsed from the mountain of elephant bones, and I don't know how many elephant bones were crushed. Even the old elephant's own broken tooth fell off.

Zhang Fan's heart moved, he stepped forward and picked up the gray-yellow broken tooth, nodded to the old elephant, and stored it in the ring space, this may be the old elephant's reward for escorting him all the way to Zhang Fan and his partner.

Back in the valley, I climbed the hill, looked back at the valley, and found that the valley was full of trees, and there were traces of elephant mounds. Even if you take the wooden kite and look down from the air, the land of the elephant mound has long since melted into the African jungle, and there is no trace of it again. Maybe the elephant mound will only be opened when the next old elephant returns......

Back at the port, the deal isn't over yet. As usual, Akon asked Drake to help acquire some of the better quality gems and gold, and nothing else. Seeing Zhang Fan and the Green Wing Dark Sakura returning safely, he asked Zhang Fan what he had discovered. Because the elephant mound had been closed, and he was not worried that the greedy Akon would be able to find it, Zhang Fan informed him about the elephant mound in 1510.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Akon beat his chest and complained that Zhang Fan did not collect a part of the ivory in the elephant mound, to know how much scene wealth those ivory are equivalent to! Akon immediately took the wooden kite, took the goblin and Dornier, and flew to the location of the elephant mound! Two days and one night later, a bloodshot Akon came back. Sure enough, this guy got nothing!

"At least we got a small half of the ivory......," Zhang Fan took out the gray-yellow broken tooth that only had the root left, and handed it to Akon.

Akon helplessly stroked this ivory tooth root, and muttered: "Anyway, you also took off that one completely, took this useless tooth root, and broke it like this, it is less than a foot, and it is worth a fart!" I don't know how this tusk was broken, but the six forks of this fracture are smoothed out, and it's good to make a pen holder for a talisman pen......"

Zhang Fan Luyi was shocked when he heard this, and shouted in unison: "Can't grind!" Then he snatched the broken tooth, and when he looked closely, the fracture was indeed six slender sharp horns, like six short fingers, more like six curved and elegant teeth......

The fleet set off again, but after more than 100 nautical miles east, it came to the ancient country of Ghana on the 'Gold Coast', next to the 'Ivory Coast', which was now a Portuguese colony, where European traders had discovered large gold and diamond mines. In later generations, the proven gold reserves were nearly 60,000 tons, and the diamond reserves were about 100 million carats!

It is such a country rich in gold and diamonds, but in reality it is a country of severe poverty. And now, Zhang Fan's team is anchoring in the original port here with a fleet of ships that have come to plunder the wealth of this ancient country.

The ancient country of Ghana had a large population, so there was a large slave trade here. Gold and black slaves were the two most important commodities that Hawkins wanted to buy. Therefore, this 'Gold Coast' is the most important stop of this gluttonous trade!

After learning from the bookdemon that this 'Gold Coast' is rich in diamonds, Akon disappeared with the goblins as soon as he entered the harbor. They went directly to the local gem mines, bribed the owners and miners with rum and cheap industrial goods, and bought diamonds and other high-quality gemstones. This is really very convenient for Zhang Fan's team, which has a database like the book demon and a means of transportation like the wooden kite! After seeing the lair of the poisonous tooth dragon, the gem is very important for Zhang Fan's team's dragon hunting journey!

In the mining area, Akon remembered that he also had a friend, the Rat King, Jin Ling, who was also very sensitive to treasures, so he summoned him. After this guy got the Byzantine treasure, he has cultivated to the realm of treasure hunting rats! However, the roe head creature just sniffed in the air, and then told Akon that the nearest treasure was more than a thousand miles away. And the underground mineral deposits, even if they can be perceived by treasure hunt rats, they can't be mined like goblins, so they are not attractive to treasure hunt rats.

Zhang Fan and the Book Demon, who were not interested in gold and gemstones, carefully studied the information provided by the Six-Toothed White Elephant King about the Dragon Clan, and made up their minds to go to the Songhai Empire. The reality is that part of the Songhai empire is Nigeria. Zhang Fan asked Drake and learned that the Hawkins fleet was traditionally a stop for Zuihou if enough slaves and gold had been acquired on this 'Gold Coast'. However, it is estimated that after the loss of the 300 black slaves, the unwilling Hawkins is likely to go east to the port of Harcot in the Benin Empire. Because the Beninese Empire and the Songhai Empire had most of Africa's population. Harcourt Harcourt was also the place where the slave trade was the largest.

It seems that this time Hawkins is afraid that he will buy nearly 500 black slaves to the Caribbean, and the loss of 300 black slaves and a ship makes him like a gambler who has lost red-eyed, and wants to earn back the loss with interest! However, Zhang Fan and the book demon both knew that Hawkins, who was trading in the Black Triangle this time, was destined to be a loss-making transaction in history.

Because in the Caribbean they will be attacked by the Spanish fleet, the British sailors were killed and wounded and lost more than 300 people, and the Zuihou couple escaped with their lives in two ships that were about to sink. It is precisely for this reason that Drake and Hawkins formed a deep enmity with the Spanish Armada, which led to Drake becoming the most famous English pirate in the Atlantic, and Drake's revenge in the 'Anglo-Spanish Sea War' twenty years later!

It was expected that even if the Hawkins fleet would go to Harcourt Harbor, it would not stay too long. And Zhang Fan's team is likely to need months to find the unknown dragon. Zhang Fan asked Drake to help him recruit a group of black slave sailors, so that after the Hawkins fleet left, he would have the ability to pilot the large merchant ship hiding in Cape Verde.

Drake was amazed at how this baron didn't have a long memory and insisted on using black slave sailors, knowing that although those guys were very economical, they were very unreliable. But since it was the owner's request, Drake couldn't resist, anyway, he and his cousin's ship would never use these.

So Drake agreed to Zhang Fan, and when he arrived at the port of Harcot in the Benin Empire, he helped Zhang Fan recruit sailors. Because the blacks there did have some experienced sailors. There are also some merchants in Africa who trade by boat, but their ships only load goods in nearby ports and do not have the ability to trade in Europe and across the ocean. It's not that there is no ability to sail, but that there is neither money nor guts. A group of blacks went to the territory of the Europeans to do business, and they were either sold as slaves to the Europeans or taken captive by merchant ships of part-time pirates.

The 'Gold Coast' is worthy of being called the 'Gold Coast', and Akon and Yoda have acquired a large number of gem ores, all of which are high-quality gem ores that have been carefully selected by goblins. And because it is raw ore, the price is naturally very low, like buying a batch of stones. This is just like the gambling stones in southwest China in the real Shijie, with an ore exploration weapon like goblins, the natural harvest is full of money.

Drake still helped Zhang Fan acquire a large amount of gold. At this point, Akon returned to the port to calculate and found that the team's wealth had increased by more than five times! In addition, because they are hard currencies that can be used in any scene, such as gold and diamonds, they can be used as scene wealth even if they are not exchanged for trade. In this way, a small half of the used Byzantine treasure was earned.

Akon found that those cheap European industrial goods made money on this primitive continent faster than robbery! What makes Akon even happier is that such a predatory trade can still be carried out in this trial scene for twenty years! Wouldn't that be a truly rich country! Now I'm thinking about how to convert so much scene wealth into physique bonuses and combat effectiveness.

Goblin Yoda was busy again, and while he didn't need to fiddle with the team's items now, the large amount of gem ore would be enough for him to ponder for years. For goblins, it's their business to meditate on these lovely gems. Therefore, in the cargo hold of the 'China Ark', there is always a small figure, holding a small chisel and hammer, "clanging" day and night. Especially in the dead of night, everyone has a nervous breakdown.

Hawkins bought nearly 200 slaves on the Gold Coast, bringing his number of slaves to more than 300. Not satisfied, the fleet sailed to the port of Harcot in the Beninese Empire, the terminus of the African voyage to Zuihou.

After entering the port, although this is also a place rich in gold and gems, because of the dragon hunting mission, Akon has no time to make money, and gives all the cheap industrial goods purchased by Europe to Drake, and asks him to exchange them for gold. He and Zhang Fan analyzed the information given by the Six-Toothed White Elephant King and how to go to the Songhai Empire.

"The White Elephant King said that in the Songhai Empire, there are quite a lot of aliens, and it seems that this dragon hunting task still needs to find these aliens. But what kind of people are those aliens? Akon pondered.

The bookdemon said unhurriedly, "Maybe I know what those strangers do......"
