《杂牌寻宝队》泽仁唯色

7、马利亚海盗

　　Somewhere on Indian Ocean, next the Somalia.
　　Nolan them came here to dig another sunken ship. However they met the pirates and Nolan become very excited. You know , frequently there's pirates here. So Nolan them have equipped themselves with some weapons. Of course, they have hired some mercenaries this time. Although they didn't drive the big ship here, their situation was not too dangerous. After about an hour of fighting, the pirates escaped.
　　The pirates doesn't leave too far away. With the high power binoculars Nolan can see them. But he doesn't care, he has asked his employees to search the exact place where the ship sank.
　　Now mike has a question, why the ship with an Artifact fragment always sink. Nolan doesn't know either. Maybe the ship with a piece of Artifact is easy to attract a storm. If it is ture, this time they will meet a storm. However they continue to search.
　　When waiting, they start gambling. What is there in the sunken ship Nolan says there are gold, some spice seeds if not decayed, woollen blanket and so on. Mike agree him.
　　If the ship is to China, there must be these in it. If the ship is back Arab, there would be china, jade, silk and so on. Mike thinks it's more possible to China.
　　Elves doesn't agree them, he says:"If the ship was a merchant ship, there would be an Artifact fragment in it." Elves thinks there are all of those in it.
　　Then they look to Stoneman, Stoneman asks:"How do you know the Artifact fragment is in the ship"
　　Then Mike and Nolan look to Elves, Elves explains for Stoneman:"The Approximate location of every Artifact fragment had been marked on the Treasure Map. In ancient times, there must be ways to know where the Artifact fragments. If the location didn't change after finishing the map, we can find it. The position of a sunken ship is not likely to change. "
　　Stoneman says:"The sunken ship is a pirate ship, so there are all." Then Nolan them are shocked, because Stoneman says so many words.
　　Hours later, the detect rings. Then they begin to dig. After finishing the work, they know Elves and Stoneman win. It's indeed a pirate ship, in it there are gold, china, jade and so on. Especially, a leather bag of seeds is not decayed. In the bag there is the Artifact fragment.
　　After they display the antiques on their ship, the pirates come around again. At this time, the mercenaries become the pirates' partners.
　　"Oh, dear. It's dangerous now." Nolan becomes more excited.
　　Someone become acared, someone who trust Nolan are still calm.
　　"Need you my help" Elves asks Nolan, the help means his special ability.
　　"Not this time. We can wait a minutes, when they all here, my big ship will appear." Nolan has be ready for this kind of situation.
　　The pirates are also waiting, they are afraid of damaging the antiques, so they want Nolan them to surrender.
　　A few minutes later, the ship which is big as an aircraft carrier appears. It's also equipped as an aircraft carrier. So the scared people are the pirates. Nolan doesn't kill the pirates unless necessary, he either need not captives, so most of the pirates escape.
　　This time, escape really. But few days later, when the pirates are robbing others, suddenly a strong storm comes out here, then most of them died.
　　Nolan goes to the USA with the antiques. Last time he didn't invite the Americans to attend the exchange, so this time all of these will sold to them. What's more, some new china will sent to America. In Nolan's eyes, they have all already been money.
　　Now, they have four pieces of Artifact. They can make sure the Space Power Artifact is a ball. It's made of china, and on it there's mysterious pattern.
　　Nolan guesses the Artifact's special power comes from the pattern. If ture, something will really change.
