    Billy said that these porcelains have been in an oxygen-free environment for too long, and the whale oil on them cannot be directly peeled off. The whale oil is now a protective layer, and whale oil peeling can only be carried out in a professional maintenance environment.

    Qin Shiou nodded and continued to ask: "The surprise you are talking about is these porcelains? I don't think they are of much value, right?"

    Billy's eyes widened and he said: "One may not be worth much, but do you know how many such porcelains are inside? And the value of porcelain does not lie in the individual pieces, but in the whole. I bet there must be many complete sets in the underwater shipwrecks.  porcelain, together it can hold an alla-porcelana auction."

    Qin Shiou expressed his understanding and went to look at those gold and silver coins. This was the universal currency of Spain in the seventeenth century. Because Spain was one of the maritime overlords at that time, their currency was used in many countries and regions, and there are not many left over.  Few, but few are as well preserved as these.

    In addition to gold and silver coins, some gold and silver tableware were also recovered from the sunken ship this time. Of course, they were mainly silverware. Among the gold products, Qin Shiou only saw two spoons with engraved handles.  But whether they are gold or silverware, they are all very valuable, because there was no gold and silver plating technology in that era, and these gold and silverware were all real materials.

    Young Blake paid special attention to a silver soup pot with a pot stand. The diameter of the stand is half a meter, and the diameter of the pot is more than 40 centimeters. It has a simple appearance, but the decorative style is full of features: embossed grooves, beaded rims,  The lion mask, the lion's paws, and the lid has two silver snakes intersecting their necks to form a handle. Little Black said it has an exquisite neoclassical style.

    Qin Shiou didn't understand the neoclassical style, nor did he understand the meaning of the sculpture on the soup pot. Little Blake wanted to explain it to him, but he shook his head and said no, he probably wouldn't need it at ordinary times.

    Billy showed little Black a silver cup the size of a teacup. The silver cup had fallen off. It had a cup sleeve with some rose flowers crisscrossed on it. There was a small sheep's head skull on the cup lid.

    Little Blake thought about it and asked: "Don't tell me, this is Collison Jensen's work!"

    Billy smiled proudly and said: "Of course, of course, rose flowers and Satan's sheep's head are Collison's favorites. Also, if you look carefully, you will see that these flower branches intersect into two letters, c and z. If  This doesn¡¯t mean that the silver cup is Collison¡¯s work, so how can we prove it?¡±

    Qin Shiou checked the name of Collison Jensen on the Internet. There were only a few search results. Only some research materials found this name, saying that this was a relatively famous gold and silver man in Spain in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.  Master of tool making.

    Little Blake and Billy were discussing gold and silverware. He was not interested and had to look at the longbow.

    At first he only saw the longbow, but now he looked closer and realized that the lower part of the glass box was made of fine steel. Inside was a set of armored clothing, including a ghost face mask, shoulder chains, large and small  Protective leather holster and a set of chainmail, in addition to a woven iron hinged belt and leather pouch.

    "Hey, Billy, how did you get it?" Qin Shiou asked slightly surprised.

    Billy asked: "How did you get it? You mean this English longbow and this set of archer armor? Of course they were fished out of a pirate shipwreck."

    Qin Shiou laughed dryly, and he quickly shut his mouth. Only then did he realize that he had spilled the beans.  What is strange to him is that based on his observation and search, there are only whale oil barrels in the sunken ship, and the longbow, which is taller than a person, is too small to accommodate these things.

    There is also this set of archer armor, which also has traces of whale oil, but it seems that the whale oil barrel cannot accommodate this chain mail armor.

    Qin Shiou kept his doubts in his heart as he could not say these out loud.  But this is not surprising. Compared to him, Billy is a serious treasure hunter. Maybe the bow, arrows and armor were hidden in a secret part of the sunken ship. He didn't find them, but Billy found them.

    So, all four of them in this combination are useful.

    Billy didn't pay attention to his words, thinking that he had a special interest in longbows, and asked: "Do you want to try this bow? This is an English longbow, probably the most domineering bow in the history of the world. I cleaned it before  At that time, I discovered that this bow and arrow were well preserved and could still be used."

    Qin Shiou said: "I think the most domineering bow and arrow in the world is the Divine Arm Bow in the history of our Song Dynasty, which is even more powerful than the English longbow!"

    Little Blake jumped out immediately and said firmly: "I know the Divine Arm Bow, but I don't think it can be compared to our longbow. OurThe bow is definitely the strongest bow and arrow in the world!  "

    If the ak-47 is the pride of the Russians in the history of weapons, and nuclear weapons are the pride of the Americans in the history of weapons, then this huge and incomparable longbow is the pride of the English in the history of weapons.

    Young Blake is a British immigrant who possesses the inherent pride and dignity of a long-established aristocrat of the British Empire. If the longbow is provoked, it means that his pride and dignity have been provoked, and he must maintain this.

    In terms of cold weapons, the British's affection for the longbow is unmatched by any weapon. This has to start with their history.

    In 1066, the conquerors from Normandy stipulated that the surrendered Anglo-Saxon property owners were not allowed to own knight's equipment, but bows and arrows were not prohibited.  Soon, the remnants of the previous dynasty were equipped with such "legal" weapons, while ordinary people and "lower people" such as serfs were not allowed to own even such weapons that were not "noble" enough.

    Later, Edward the Great allowed all people to practice horseback shooting. Ordinary people felt that this was a promotion of their social status, so whether they were nobles or ordinary people, whether they were rich or poor, they would practice shooting and hunting skills from time to time.

    A few years later, Europe entered an era of chaotic wars between various countries. Even for a period of time after the emergence of muskets, the English longbowmen were the most powerful arms on the European continent.  This unit has won countless victories and dignity for Britain, protected its territorial integrity, and seized a large amount of territory and resources.

    So, from top to bottom, the British have a different feeling for the longbow.

    Qin Shiou felt that this kind of topic was not worth arguing about, and then he shrugged and said: "Well, the English longbow is the most powerful, so why don't you take it out and show it to me? Also, why didn't I realize you were so good at this just now?  Are you interested in the Incomparable Longbow?"

    Little Blake laughed sarcastically after hearing his words and muttered: "I am only talking about an objective fact, because the English longbow is indeed the strongest bow and arrow in the world. There is also an objective fact that I like money far more than anything else.  Crossing a long bow" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
