    The last Titan company was founded in San Diego and has a big background. It is a major supplier of national security and homeland security products to the two major North American countries, the United States and Canada. Most of their customers are national defense, intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies.

    Little Blake said that their auction hired this company to provide them with the c4isr system - a modern offensive and defensive drill system that integrates combat, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. They are the auction house.  center of defense work.

    "The cost of hiring four security companies is not small, right?" Qin Shiou asked.

    Little Blake said easily: "Compared to our gains, this small amount of effort is nothing. The total is about eight million US dollars. But what is more difficult is getting four defense companies to cooperate. These guys are very proud.  I think I am the best and don¡¯t bother to cooperate with other companies.¡±

    Although he did not explain further, Qin Shiou understood that this required human resources. The Black family had no shortage of resources in this area. In these auctions, they cooperated most with the security company.

    After meeting important members of the Black family, Qin Shiou entered the exhibition hall accompanied by Black. The exhibits were scattered on four floors. Each floor had at least 20 elite security personnel responsible for security. These people wore  Wearing sunglasses and headphones, he glanced at the visitors coming and going with an expressionless expression, like RoboCop.

    Entering the hall, Qin Shiou first saw a skeleton. The skeleton was pale in color with tiny traces of sea creatures attached to it. It was wearing chainmail, a horn helmet and a ferocious ghost mask on its head. It was holding a  A bow and arrow almost as tall as him.

    Among them, the bones of the arm holding the bow and arrow are particularly thick, and the bones on that side of the back are twisted and deformed, covered with thick epiphyses and even have bone spurs. It looks crazy and ferocious, which is very weird.

    Qin Shiou recognized it at a glance. This set of armor and this English longbow were the cultural relics and weapons they salvaged from the sunken ship. The longbow's bowstring had been broken, and he replaced it with a new bowstring. But looking at it now,  It must have been replaced again, it's still the same old bow string, but it was glued and reconnected.

    ¡°These weapons and armor were all obtained from the sunken ship?¡± Wei Ni asked curiously. A reporter came up with a camera, and she stood beside the skeleton and took a photo with a smile.

    Little Black introduced: "Not only the weapons and armor, but also this skeleton was salvaged from a sunken ship." He looked at Qin Shiou and said, "Man, do you remember that there was a box with a lot of bones?  Yes, that¡¯s where the skeleton was taken from.¡±

    Of course Qin Shiou remembers that box. When Billy was salvaging it, he said that the bones in that box were the bones left by the pirates who were stranded at sea and had nothing to eat. The bones of the people who ate them were stored and left behind. It¡¯s disgusting to think about it!

    Wei Ni was surprised and said: "Then this person is quite deformed. Look at his shoulder blades"

    Little Blake nodded and said: "Yes, it is deformed enough, but this also explains why some people can use the English longbow perfectly. I don't know if you have known it before. Many weapons masters question the power of the English longbow, thinking that without machinery,  Without assistance, humans cannot fully draw this longbow."

    "Look at this skeleton. This is the answer. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult for people to fully draw this longbow to exert its power. But in that era, in order to become longbowmen, men had to strengthen their unilateral arm and shoulder strength.  After training and hard work, their bodies became deformed and they were able to fully utilize the power of this longbow."

    Listening to his introduction, Qin Shiou asked strangely: "That's not right. According to what you said, there should be very few people who can do this, right? In other words, longbowmen were very valuable talents in their era.  Then how come such talents are given priority?"

    Little Blake stretched out his thumb and laughed loudly: "Qin, master, you are a master, you got the idea right away!"

    He looked at the skeleton and the armored weapons on his body, with an expectant smile on his face: "Among the treasures we salvaged, there are many gold and silver coins, as well as gold and silverware and ceramics. The second most valuable one should be the one in your hand.  A set of incomplete Philip IV commemorative gold coins, and the most valuable ones are this set of armor weapons and this skeleton!"

    Qin Shiou exclaimed: "Are these weapons and armor so valuable?"

    Little Blake shook his head and pointed at the skeleton and said: "In fact, it is valuable! According to our research, the owner of this withered skeleton is not simple. Aren't you asking why such a precious longbowman would be eaten first by pirates?  ?The reason is simple, he is a prisoner of the pirates and an enemy of the pirates!  "

    ¡°His true identity is the British wandering baron Chuck Lehman-Chamberlain!¡±

    Qin Shiou expressed that he was unfamiliar with the name Little Blake said. He had never heard of this nickname or this person.

    Little Blake introduced him. Of course, this man was not famous in history, but in the history of weapons and cultural relics, he was quite famous. He was a baron who was promoted as a civilian by accumulating military exploits. He was a marksman, and  A long bow has repeatedly achieved military exploits.  But after receiving the title, he did not want to be imprisoned in the staid British military camp, so he took the longbow for which he was famous and left the British mainland to form a mercenary army to fight everywhere.

    Later, according to the Genealogy of the Chamberlain family, their marksman ancestor disappeared after leading his small mercenary group to Spain. After several investigations, it was found that this ancestor was not missing, but died in the Bartholomew Pirates.  During the invasion of Santa Catalina Island.  Among them, there is another theory that the marksman did not die in the battle, but that he joined the pirate group and escaped with the pirates.

    The latter statement is naturally an insult to the Chamberlain family and an insult to the British aristocracy, so it has never been adopted.  But what makes the Chamberlain family feel aggrieved is that they have no evidence to refute this statement.

    Now the evidence has come out. It is obvious that Baron Marksman was captured in the battle. Little Black said that the original intention of the pirates to capture him may be to use him in exchange for money. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, once knights and nobles were captured in European wars,  They could not be tortured or hurt, and they could redeem themselves with money, so it was very popular at that time to capture nobles and knights in wars.

    Unfortunately, this pirate group did not survive until the day when they could demand ransom. They were trapped in the cold Arctic sea, and Baron Marksman was not exchanged back, but was used as food (Remember  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
