Chapter 269: Big Profit x Treasure Map

After Gate and others left Mafi Island, Xia Jieren was afraid that someone would follow them, so he sent out a group of scouts to follow the various forces from a distance.

But no one expected to capture such an interesting scene.

Xia Jieren released the truth at an appropriate time, which directly triggered the war between the Wester Empire and the Golden Lion Empire, leaving the Wester Empire no time to care about the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

"Hehe~, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is going to make a fortune again." Xia Jieren said happily.

The war between the two empires caused quite a stir in the West Sea.

The prices of war materials such as food, iron ore, and weapons rose rapidly.

Countless merchants poured into the West Continent carrying large quantities of goods, waiting to sell them at a high price.

The White Tiger Chamber of Commerce was not to be outdone.

However, due to the hatred between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Wester Empire, the Wester Empire does not like the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.

In this case, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce can only sell its goods to the Golden Lion Empire.

The World Government is very happy to see this.

Don’t think that the West Empire and the Golden Lion Empire are fighting back and forth.

But everyone knows that the strength and foundation of the Golden Lion Empire are still weaker than those of the West Empire.

If a protracted war is to be fought, the Golden Lion Empire will surely be defeated.

However, with the support of the World Government and nearby member states, the Golden Lion Empire will be able to hold out longer.

As the war progressed, the Golden Lion Empire began to decline.

At this time, the White Gull Kingdom chose to support the Golden Lion Empire at the instruction of the World Government.

As a result, the West Empire had to face the Golden Lion Empire and the White Gull Kingdom at the same time, and the pressure increased greatly for a while.

Although the Wester Empire claimed that its side was just under the banner of revenge for the son of Duke Elliot, it did not gain many supporters.

Whether you admit or not that the world's discourse power lies in the hands of the world government, the world government can distort the facts with just a little favoritism.

The 1VS2 war between the Wester Empire is still in full swing.

But Xia Jieren had already withdrawn his attention.

During this month, the Kingdom of the Netherlands made a lot of money.

Litte also put aside her previous worries and happily reviewed various reports every day.

Today, when Xia Jieren was free, he suddenly found a treasure map.

"Hey~, isn't this the treasure map that I asked Gate to take a picture of on Mafi Island?" Xia Jieren looked at the rough and simple treasure map curiously and murmured.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "I got it! Since everything is fine, let's go out to sea to look for treasure."

Then he asked, "Kerrigan, where is the location on this treasure map? Do you know?"

After a moment, Kerrigan replied: "The treasure should be hidden on a small island south of the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"It is about 212 kilometers away from the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

As she spoke, Kerrigan projected the location and general outline of the island onto Xia Jieren's retina.

Xia Jieren compared them and said, "Hmm! This should be it."

"Lucky! You found the treasure so quickly."

So Xia Jieren couldn't wait to walk out the door, and as he walked, he said, "Kerrigan, I want to go out to sea!"

"Yes!"

Halfway through the journey, Xia Jieren turned back to the palace.

"No! I want to go with Litte and develop some relationship with her." Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Jieren's mouth gradually rose.

Pushing open Litte's office, Xia Jieren invited, "Litte, do you want to go treasure hunting?"

"Treasure hunting? I want to go." When Litte heard the word treasure hunting, she nodded repeatedly, with the anticipation in her eyes not concealed at all.

"Hurry up, let's send it now." Xia Jieren called.

"Okay!" Litte quickly sorted out the scattered documents on the desk.

After a while, Litt said, "Let's go!"

Xia Jieren and Litte walked side by side.

"Lite, this is the treasure map I bought at the auction. Do you want to see it?" Xia Jieren took out the treasure map and handed it to Lite.

Litt took it with both hands and looked at it curiously. "This is the treasure map that often appears in adventure stories. This is the first time I have seen it."

She stroked the rough paper with her white jade-like hands and said with a smile: "I remember drawing a treasure map myself when I was a child."

"Haha~, me too." Xia Jieren laughed.

The two of them left the palace talking and laughing.

Soon after, with Gate's help, the two arrived at the port of East.

After boarding the prepared warship, Xia Jieren said with a smile: "Lite, I have asked someone to build a luxury ship."

"From now on, we can take a more comfortable boat when we go out to sea."

"I've heard that it was built using the Adam Tree." Litte said thoughtfully.

"Yeah!" Xia Jieren smiled and nodded, then shook his head: "More than that."

"You'll know after it's built. I believe you'll like it very much." Xia Jieren kept it a secret.

"I'm looking forward to it." Litt smiled.

Suddenly, Xia Jieren looked around and asked in confusion, "By the way, where is Butler Kil?"

As he walked along, he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that the butler Kil, who was always the light bulb when Xia Jieren and Litte went out together, was missing.

After hearing what Xia Jieren said, Litt realized it belatedly and said, "Butler Gil, a new batch of servants have come to the palace recently, and he went to train the new servants."

"Oh! No wonder." Xia Jieren nodded suddenly.

"By the way, since Butler Kil is not here, can I..." Xia Jieren's eyes were wandering, frequently passing over Litte.

"What's wrong?" Litte noticed Xia Jieren's eyes and asked.

"Hey! Nothing...nothing." Xia Jieren said hesitantly.

He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then changed the subject: "Well, I was just wondering what the treasure is this time."

"I'm curious too." Litt said excitedly.

"If the treasure map is real, then I guess the final treasure may be some gold, silver and jewelry." Xia Jieren guessed.

"Why?" Litte asked curiously.

"Because the owner of this treasure map, according to the auction house, is a great pirate named Hart."

"It was active in the West Sea a hundred years ago, but we don't know whether it's true or not," Xia Jieren explained.

"It's normal for people living a hundred years ago to have difficulty confirming the authenticity of news. Just go and take a look and you'll know." Litt thought for a while and confirmed that there was no relevant information about Hart.

Then, she changed the subject and said, "It's okay even if it's fake."

"Why?" Xia Jieren asked in surprise.

Litte smiled brightly and said, "The joy of treasure hunting lies in the process of hunting. Finding the treasure in the end is just the icing on the cake."

"Haha~, indeed!" Xia Jieren agreed with a smile.

However, Litt's words only apply to those who love adventure and treasure hunting.

As for those pirates who value money more than anything else, they value the value of the treasure itself more.
