Barbosa is British, and his lover Margaret Smith also lives in London, native to the UK.

Before heading to the Isle of Great Britain, Xin Sheng also needs to travel to Spain to sell the Aztec gold coins stored in the cabin.

As for the agency fee that originally promised to clear Mrs....

Because Mrs. Qing suddenly turned against her and cooperated with Xiaofeng, Xin Sheng didn't come to her and thought that she would have to pay for mental loss.

This money is just a matter of course, and it can also give sailors more benefits.

With the promise from the captain, the Jackdaw's sailor morale rose by 50% (fog).

Cadiz is the main harbor in southern Spain and the oldest city in Spain. It was founded by the Phoenicians around 1000 BC.

As Spain's most important port and shipbuilding base, the Port of Cadiz took on important tasks after the rise of the Great Navigation.

All specialty goods transported from the New World colony must be transported to Seville through the port of Cadiz River, and transferred to this old capital, known as Seville, and then sold to the whole country and even across Europe through the supply channel of the Trade House.

With the special proof that the Duke asked Mrs. Qing to pass it to Xin Sheng, the Jackdaw successfully docked in the port of Cadiz.

Xin Sheng and Barnabas brought five sailors to carry the packed Aztec gold coin box together, and packaged an inland freight ship at the port of Cadiz River, escorting the treasure chest north to Seville.

Cadiz was already quite prosperous at the end of the 17th century, and the specialties of the New World colonies provided a lot of wealth for this country that was rich in bullfighters.

Entering Seville, Xin Sheng felt the atmosphere of a large civilized city for the first time in this era.

There are many distinctive ancient buildings around the busy river port, which are completely different from the architectural styles of native Spain.

According to the sailors of the freight ship, these ancient buildings were from the Moors, who once ruled the Andalusian region in southern Iberia in the 11th to 15th centuries.

The world-famous Alhambra Palace is located in Granada, the most important city in Andalusia. This ancient and majestic palace complex was built when the Moors ruled here.

Mrs. Qing did not tell Xin Sheng what the duke who bought the Aztec gold coins was named. Xin Sheng did not intend to ask in detail. This was not a question he should be concerned about.

After arriving in Seville through the river, Xin Sheng hired a carriage and escorted the treasure chest with the sailors all the way to the trading house. He successfully found the envoy sent by the duke.

Trading Home is a large market where special products shipped from the New World must be transferred here.

This well-dressed messenger was about 30 years old. Judging from his clothes and behavior, he should be from a noble class who had received a good education since childhood.

Xin Sheng did not intend to deal with Spanish officials more often. In the secret room specially prepared by the other party, Xin Sheng and others quickly completed the transaction with the noble.

Xin Sheng's hawkeye vision swept around the secret room to nearly a hundred guards, and this overly exaggerated protection made him deeply puzzled.

‘Could this handsome middle-aged man is the duke’s son?’

“Verified correctly.”

The nobleman who claimed to be Carlos took back the monolithic magnifying glass and suppressed his joy and said to Xin Sheng: "There are quite a few Aztec gold coins each, and they are preserved very well... but the dirty blood stained on the gold coins are a bit disgusting."

The Aztec gold coins were originally used by the Aztecs to bribe Spanish colonist Hernan Cortez, but both parties to the deal had their own ulterior motives from the beginning.

Cortez had no intention of letting go of the Aztecs at all. No matter what treasure they offered, the ending would not change.

The Aztecs were also not good at slapping their compatriots. Out of resentment at Cortez's massacre of their own compatriots, they imposed a vicious curse on these gold coins.

Strictly speaking, the moment the transaction is completed, the Aztec gold coins belong to Spain.

Cortez was very cunning. He knew that the Aztecs would not hand over gold coins honestly, so they must have made some moves on it.

After destroying the Aztec civilization, he did not transport the box of gold coins back to Spain, but buried it on the island of death that no one knew about, and told the story of the matter all the truth to King Carlos I at that time.

It was not until it was positioned by Jack Sparrow's desire compass that the gold coin box was re-unearthed under the excavation of Barbosa and others.

For nearly 200 years, the Spanish royal family has been trying to find this group of treasures representing the conquerors. For them, this box of gold coins represents the glory of the country's prosperity.

But in Xin Sheng's view, the blood stains stained on the Aztec gold coins just represented the bloody act of the Spaniards in massacre of the indigenous people, which was an interesting irony.

In the high-level circles of Spanish royal family and aristocrats, the whereabouts of Aztec gold coins and the curse he contained have been talked about.

The good tutoring made Carlos quickly calm down his excitement and gracefully bow to Xin Sheng.

"Thank you, the great adventurer."

"You have brought the treasure of the Conqueror who has been buried for nearly 200 years to reappear. Unfortunately, you are not a national in your country, otherwise the king would even give you the title of Lord for his merits."

"Uh~ Mr. Carlos, you're so serious."

Xin Sheng smiled dryly and was humble, and couldn't help but complain: "It's just a box of gold coins, is it?'

‘Wait, Carlos? The name…’

Xin Sheng suddenly remembered something.

Before entering the Mediterranean, Herodotus excitedly told Xin Sheng about the Habsburg family who still ruled Spain.

The Habsburg family has a long history and is the most powerful royal family in European history and has the widest ruling territory.

They once ruled the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Austrian Empire and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.

The current Spanish king is Carlos II, and he has entered his later years of life and has the intention to pass the throne.

But Carlos II had no children and had no children, and the question of whom was to be passed on to has been quarreled in Spain for more than ten years.

There are not tens of thousands or thousands of names in Spain, but if the scope is narrowed to the Spanish nobles and have contacts with the duke, they even dare to assert that the rewards Carlos II might have made…

‘Hiss~ I think about it very terrible.’

Xin Sheng's psychology has changed, and his attitude towards "Carlos" has become more cautious.

According to Herodotus, the Habsburg family's rule over Spain has entered the countdown.

In official history, with the death of Carlos II in 1700, Spain launched a war of succession to the throne, which eventually led to the destruction of the Habsburg dynasty, and Spain entered the Bourbon dynasty's reign.

Xin Sheng is just a passerby in this world and has no interest in being involved in the Spanish war of inheritance of the throne.

Fortunately, "Carlos" just said casually and did not mean to recruit Xin Sheng into Spain.

The transaction was finally completed successfully, and 882 Aztec gold coins were exchanged for 10,000 Dobron gold coins.

Although the amount of 10,000 does not seem to be too large, Dobron is the currency with the highest denomination in Spain and has a very high purchasing power.

Basically, you can draw a conclusion by converting it into a conclusion that 1 Dobron is equal to 8 Escudo, 1 Escudo is equal to 2 Eight (piece   of    eight), and 1 Escudo is equal to 8 Rials.

Not to mention this messy conversion formula, the eight-character gold coins (piece   of   eight) are the Spanish gold coins that pirates often mention.

Spanish coins have high value in this era.

A gold coin with eight characters can hold a decent banquet in Spain, and ten dobrons are enough to live a luxurious life for a small noble with a lower status for a year.

"Carlos" threw out 10,000 Dobrons at one time with great wealth, almost knocking Xin Sheng out of the money.

‘This is worthy of the pure profit of a Duke’s territory for several years… This is not something that just one person can do.’

Xin Sheng was more and more sure that there was a shadow of the Spanish royal family behind "Carlos". The unknown duke was probably just a tandemist and a tool man.
