Chapter 923 - Interrogating the King

Since the Guards Legion Corps were the best of the best, the Legion General must fit that job. Ma Chao and Lu Bu, these two generals, were ones that the soldiers were all happy with.

Ma Chun, Ma Teng, Xiahou Ying, and Zhang He, only Cao Chun was slightly better.

Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to make his decision. After all, it would take one and a half months at the very least. Who knows whether there would be surprises or not during this period?
 ...
Mogadishu, palace.

Ouyang Shuo did not plan to remodel it into a traveling palace. Based on the plan, he would build a Provincial Governor office here.

At the south corner, there was a jail, which was used by the previous king to lock up special prisoners.

Ouyang Shuo appeared in Mogadishu and settled down the people as usual. In the afternoon, he lost his patience and gave the job to the newly appointed Provincial Governor Pei Mo.

At 3 PM, Ouyang Shuo brought the Personal Guards to this special jail.

In the damp and humid jail cell, the ex-Somalia King was locked here. Ouyang Shuo was not willing to meet him originally. However, he said that he had a Secret Doc.u.ment to trade with Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo thought he was lying until he said the words 'Silver Hand.'

This made him really interested, which resulted in this trip. When Friends.h.i.+p City was attacked, Ouyang Shuo had the feeling that the Somalia royal family was not the only party behind this.

Now, it seemed like it was true.

"Open the gate!"

The damp and dark jail cell only had a small window opened at the top. On the ground, there was a layer of straw with a bed on it.

Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Standing at the gate of the jail cell and looking at the old man curled up at the corner, Ouyang Shuo really could not believe that this person was the Somalia King.

It seemed like during the catching process, he had faced a lot of bad treatment.

Once he entered the jail cell, a foul smell pierced his nose, making Ouyang Shuo frown.

The jail was temporarily guarded by the Somalia Formation soldiers.

Seeing the king's reaction, one of them asked carefully, "My king, this place is dirty. Should we interrogate him in the interrogation room?"

The jail should not be in such a bad state. It was like this because the formation soldiers hated the king, so they were purposely making it tough on him. They had given him the worst cell.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "There's no need. I'll be leaving after saying a few words." As he said that, he looked expressionlessly at the Somalia King, "Speak, what do you want to trade?"

The Somalia King said tragically, "Everything I did was planned by a mysterious person. A few days ago, he even met me."

"How do you know he came from Silver Hand?"

"He personally told me that if I was able to achieve victory in the first wave, they had the ability to prevent Great Xia from attacking Somalia again."

The Somalia King wanted to say crusade, but he swallowed the word down.

"Say what you know, and I'll let you live."

"Then, can I leave Somalia?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "What do you think? Even if I release you, you probably would not be able to walk out of Mogadishu."

Putting this person in soft arrest was the greatest good grace he could give to this person. As for whether or not there would be any accidents during the soft arrest that would cause him to die, Ouyang Shuo had no guarantees.

Ouyang Shuo's coldness was not something his previous self could compare to.

"..."

The Somalia King's face was ashen white; he knew that the people of the city hated him to the core.

"Do not have any hopes. If what you say does not make me happy, just wait to be executed. It would also be good for the people's sentiment."

The Somalia King was so terrified that he s.h.i.+vered, "Write, I'll write, I'll write."

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he lost interest in talking to this person. He just turned around and left the cell. The following interrogation would be handled by Black Snake Guards and Ouyang Shuo did not need to worry about it. 
 ************
The next morning, Pei Ju came over to report on his investigation of the treasury.

Pei Ju could not hide his joy. Obviously, there were great rewards. "My king, within the treasury, there is 2.5 million gold, 56 cases of jewelry, 2.5 thousand kilograms of spices, and two treasures."

There were hundreds and thousands of different items in the treasury and the armory, so Pei Ju did not go through them one by one. Their equipment was backward, so it did not fit what Great Xia needed.

Ouyang Shuo was shocked. He did not expect the Somalia royal family to be so rich; it was totally different from the poor state of its people. Thinking about the matter, he understood.

A large half of all this wealth came from working with the pirates. When the Atlantic Squadron wiped out the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization, they obtained large amounts of treasures too.

With this 2.5 million gold, the one million gold reward from Gaia, and the gold from auctioning off the Guardian Guild rights, he obtained around seven million gold.

If one considered the profits from hunting the pirates, this amount would reach eight million.

Based on the calculations by the Privy Court, the reparations and compensation of this war, along with the organizations costs, would amount to one million gold.

The Cabinet listed the rebuilding costs of Somalia Province, including basic facilities and port construction, at 1.5 million.

Apart from that, there were the costs of repairing Friends.h.i.+p City and compensation to the merchants, which amounted to 500 thousand gold.

All things considered, the Imperial Court did not need to spend extra money, and they even earned five million gold, delighting Ouyang Shuo.

As expected, war was the best way to get rich.

Considering that Ouyang Shuo needed a huge sum for the year end auction, he kept this five million gold.

As for the gold, silver, jewelry, and spices, Ouyang Shuo told Pei Ju to choose a few to put into the royal treasury. As for the rest, sell them off to the three royal chambers of commerce.

This was not a small sum, around 1.5 million, which would be added to the dynasty's finances.

Since the first year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo had stored jewelry into the treasury more than 10 times, so just Song Jia and Bing'er alone probably could not finish using it.

However, as the ruler, Ouyang Shuo had to reward his people. Song Jia needed to reward her court ladies, so jewelry was needed in the treasury.

This wealth was needed to make people happy. Only with a full treasury could one maintain the face of the royal family.
 ...
The part that caught Ouyang Shuo's interest was the two treasures mentioned by Pei Mo.

One map and one talisman.

The map was a sheepskin map that looked a little old. It looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time. Ouyang Shuo looked at the name of the map and was delighted.

Lemuria Civilization Exploration Map: Using this map, players can trigger scenario quests near the Lemuria Civilization ocean region.

After coming into contact with Atlantis, Ouyang Shuo had specially looked into Super Civilization information. What interested him was Lemuria, which was also as famous as Atlantis.

Who knew that there was such a coincidence, and he really had an affinity with this mysterious civilization.

Ouyang Shuo's hands started to shake with excitement when he looked at this old map.

Without a doubt, the Super Civilizations that Gaia had led into the game all brought with them technology that exceeded current technology trees.

The Great Xia Dynasty had benefited heavily from this.

Be it the underwater breathing devices or the mimicry flying device, they all helped a lot in war and became the trump cards of the dynasty.

Atlantis City had become the focus of the entire Mediterranean Ocean.

Legends had it that the four most famous civilizations in history were the Kendaya Civilization, Mu Civilization, Atlantis, and then Lemuria.

Kendaya was the first Super Civilization. Legends had it that its males had a third eye, which gave them super powers.

Legends had it that it was located between Africa and North America.

The Mu Civilization gave birth to the first huge dynasty, the Mu Empire. It was called Lamu and represented the sun. Mu represented mother, so the civilization was known as the Mother of the Sun.

It was said that the Mu continent was located in the Pacific Ocean, its location a little south. It was said that its size was similar to the Americas.

Next was the Lemuria Civilization.

The Lemurian people were small and weak. They could not fight against the beasts and others races on the land. Hence, they mostly hid underground and had really advanced technology.

The Lemurian people focused mainly on their senses, and those who trained hard could differentiate three thousand colors and 2500 different tastes.

Legends had it that it was located in the Indian Ocean close to Australia, and it stretched toward the Pacific Ocean.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that it should be near Australia.

Luckily, Ouyang Shuo planned to go on his second voyage in the 10th month. His goal was Australia. He wanted to open a new trade route and solve the iron ore and coal problem of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Hence, he would have the chance to come into contact with the mysterious Lemurian Civilization.
