Chapter 334 The Complete Pirate Navigation Chart
The old town of Paphos is still a little far from the current downtown area of Paphos, and the two are not together.
Yang Jing and Princess only learned about this after they came here. Compared with the new city, Paphos's old town has more ancient buildings. It is also Paphos' old town listed as the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The old town is not large in size, far worse than the new city of Paphos. However, everything here is preserved so well. Walking on the ancient and quiet streets will make you feel as if you have traveled thousands of years in an instant and returned to the medieval ages.
The streets of the old city are very narrow, and some places cannot even get through cars, so tourists visiting the old city are basically walking. Of course, some tourists ride bicycles and wander in the streets and alleys of the old city.
Everything here seems a little small, including the flea market in front of you.
If it weren't for sure that this was indeed a flea market, Yang Jing wouldn't believe there was such a small flea market.
The entire market is located on an open space between two small buildings, covering an area of only a few hundred square meters. It is composed of three rows of stalls, and the length of each row is only about 30 meters. To put it simply, the flea markets spontaneously formed by some primary school students in China are larger than the flea market in front of you.
However, although this flea market is small, it is very popular. Yang Jing stood at the entrance of the market and found that at least five or six hundred people were gathered here, with more than ten people surrounding each stall. Among them, East Asians with yellow skin and black hair may simply be Chinese people.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, Chinese tourists have begun to conquer cities and lands all over the world. At present, as long as there are slightly more famous tourist attractions in the world, a large number of Chinese people can appear.
Seeing so many people, Princess excitedly grabbed Yang Jing's hand and said with a smile: "Today you must accompany me to visit this flea market. I just heard you show off your skills in the flea market, and I have never seen you take action. So, today you must let me pick up a flea market, otherwise you won't be spared at night..."
This is what I said, tsk...
Just based on this last sentence, I will die until I say anything. I will devote myself to it! Otherwise, the "happiness" at night will be completely ruined...
Yang Jing immediately gathered all his energy and focused all his attention, holding his wife with one hand while walking around the crowd with difficulty.
After walking for a while, Yang Jing felt a little regretful. There are too many people, Yang Jing is really strange. Why are the aunts who are familiar with Chinese so interested? Isn’t it just some handicrafts? Is it worth bargaining there?
The princess saw it with relish. She had never seen such down-to-earth bargains as rich girls born with golden keys.
Of course, what disappointed Yang Jing even more was that this flea market is actually a flea market, but it is actually a handicraft market. Most of the items placed on the stalls are mostly some handicrafts produced in Paphos. For people like Yang Jing who loves antiques, wandering in such a market is simply a torture.
At first glance, it was full of handicrafts, and even if you couldn't even see a piece of old one, it was really tormenting.
If his wife hadn't especially liked the atmosphere here, Yang Jing would have been leaving. For him, visiting this kind of handicraft market would have been a waste of time and life!
After walking around, both of them were sweating all over, and even the four bodyguards following them had a constipated expression.
As bodyguards, what I don’t like most is that the boss enters this messy environment, which makes them unable to protect their boss at all, and they can only passively follow the boss.
As bodyguards, especially high-level bodyguards, they like to control all of them within their control, otherwise they will fail.
Seeing that they were about to squeeze out of the market, Chris and the others followed the boss and breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could end this torture that could be called a disaster.
But when the princess seemed to be still unsatisfied and seemed to want to come back again, Yang Jing was wise in a hurry and pointed to a stall that only surrounded two or three guests and said, "Wife, let's go there and take a look. This market is actually a craft market, and there is nothing to be leaked. But I see that the stalls there may be stalls selling second-hand goods, so why don't we go there and take a look?"
Princess turned her head and looked at her sweaty boyfriend, smiled and wiped Yang Jing's forehead, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there to take a look. But the atmosphere in this market is really hot. If I hadn't known that this is Cyprus, I would have thought it was in China."
The two of them came to the stalls on the edge of the market holding hands. There were fewer customers gathered in front of these stalls, and there were only two or three guests in front of each stall. This was completely different from the stalls in the market.
However, these stalls are indeed stalls selling second-hand goods, as Yang Jing guessed. Perhaps the aunts from China are not interested in second-hand goods, so there is no such noise here.
There are old furniture, old clocks and cameras on these stalls. The stalls cover a large area, and they are all second-hand goods.
Yang Jing glanced over and basically confirmed that the second-hand goods sold at these stalls had no collection value. Most of these second-hand goods were things that local residents did not use, and they could be seen at a glance.
However, at the stall at the edge of the street selling second-hand books and literature, Yang Jing found something that interests him very much.
To be precise, this thing was not discovered by Yang Jing, but by the tall and powerful Clark McCann.
"Boss, I think you'd better come and take a look at this. I think this thing is probably the same as the navigation chart we found at the Beaumont flea market." Clark pulled Yang Jing aside and said mysteriously.
"Hmm? Nautical chart? Are you sure you read it wrong?" Yang Jing's heart moved when he heard Clark's words.
Clark shrugged and said, "I'm not sure, but I always feel that the ragged navigation chart seems a bit unusual."
Yang Jing nodded and walked back and pulled the princess who were about to make a price with a stall owner to walk towards the stall Clark mentioned. Princess was a little reluctant, "Yang Jing, I'm going to make a price! Can you let me experience the fun of making a price?"
Yang Jing whispered in the princess' ear: "I'll make a price later, and I'll take you over and see the things over there first. Don't you always think about seeing me pick up a bargain? Maybe this thing is a big leak this time!"
When the princess heard this, she stopped talking and her expression became extremely excited.
When he arrived at the stall, Yang Jing's attention was suddenly attracted by the plastic-sealed sheepskin scroll navigation chart.
"That's right! This half-broken navigation chart should be the same as the two navigation charts I received before!" When Yang Jing saw the broken navigation chart for the first time, he suddenly recognized the identity of the navigation chart.
Compared with the two broken nautical charts collected from the flea markets in Paris and Beaumont, although this chart is also broken, it is much larger than the previous two charts. Moreover, the overall shape of this broken nautical chart seems to be the shape of the Pac-Man in the Red and White Machine game "Pac-Eating Beans". The upper and lower ends are complete, but the middle part is missing.
When the stall owner saw so many people coming over at once, he immediately smiled and squirted out a Greek passage, which made Yang Jing and the others listened to inconsolable.
The stall owner was also very anxious. It seemed that he couldn't speak English. He saw that a customer came to the door. If the business was ruined due to communication problems, it would be really not a pleasant thing.
Fortunately, the stall owner next to him knew English and acted as a translator.
This stall mainly sells second-hand books and literature materials. Some second-hand books that have been around for more than ten years or even decades are placed on the stall, and those documents are placed very close to the stall owner. The broken navigation chart that made Yang Jing a little excited is on the second-hand literature materials.
"How much does this thing cost?" Yang Jing was too lazy to rush and asked for a price directly.
"Two hundred euros?" Seeing the stall owner stretching out two fingers, Yang Jing immediately pretended to be confused and gave a price of two hundred euros. As a result, as soon as the price was exported, the stall owner's face suddenly became unfavorable.
The translator next to him was chatting with the stall owner for a while before saying, "Kiriacos said that this pirate treasure map costs at least two thousand euros!"
Yang Jing naturally couldn't accept this price, so a bargaining began.
After talking to each other and bargaining, the broken navigation chart was finally bought by Yang Jing for 600 euros.
This price is much higher than the previous two navigation charts, but this navigation chart is much larger, and one of the most critical locations is clearly marked, so Yang Jing did not continue to make a price.
After buying this broken navigation chart, Yang Jing immediately made an identification, and the answer given by the Holy Ring was very excited.
"The Incomplete Pirate Navigation Chart, 1720, 'Sea Snake' Boardman."
It is indeed one with the two incomplete pirate navigation charts! And judging from this navigation chart, the first two incomplete navigation charts can obviously be pieced together with this navigation chart to form a complete island navigation chart.
The most important thing is that a distinct black hexagram mark appeared on the upper left of this incomplete navigation chart!
