Chapter 173 I Heard that Bailang Bay Is Fun
Little Annie's nautical adventure trip went through a low-intensity naval battle, and after finishing up the Spanish fleet with a super-long range of shelling and a super-high speed, they embarked on their journey again.
It's just that this time, one Dreadnought has become a formation consisting of three warships. The entire fleet, with the magically modified Dreadnought on board Little Anne, serves as the flagship and pilot, and the two Spanish warships that were newly surrendered are honest and honest. Follow closely.
Since it is now traveling in a crosswind, and the speed of the two newly joined Spanish warships is not very fast, in order to accommodate them, the Intrepid had to continue to drive slowly with only one sail.
"Sir, now we have a chance, shall we try to escape?"
After seeing a familiar small island and comparing the surrounding terrain, Hilton's adjutant thought for a while, walked over to Hilton's side, and encouraged their commander.
"I am familiar with the sea area here. Not far ahead, there is a stronghold city in Spain, where there are large-caliber coastal defense forts. Why don't we take the opportunity to turn at night, cut directly into the wind, and then rush into the port Seeking protection?"
The adjutant felt that this was their best chance to escape, and there could be no better one!
Now, their two ships are following the Intrepid. If the other party doesn't pay attention later, if Yang Fan turns to the wind and sails towards that port at full speed, it is very likely that they can reach the port of that stronghold and escape the control of the other party!
He felt that as long as they entered the port, with the coastal defense turret built on the high mountain in the stronghold, maybe they could drive the terrifying Dreadnought away? No matter how far the opponent's shelling distance is, it is impossible to hit the coastal fortifications on the high mountains, right?
"No! We are now captives! Since the witches have given us preferential treatment and promised to help them transport their things back to Port Royal, they will release us. Then, our great soldiers of the Spanish Empire will never abandon their honor easily. , to be that kind of perfidious villain!"
After thinking for a while, Hilton rejected the adjutant's tempting proposal with a straight face.
In fact, he himself wanted to run, but his intuition told him that if he really wanted to run, something very bad would happen! After all, that is said to be a witch with terrible witchcraft...
What's more, the British general on the other side's ship and the pirate named Sparrow also issued a friendly warning to themselves. It is said that they are also prisoners? Since the other party didn't resist, Hilton didn't want to do any unnecessary things now.
He wouldn't foolishly think that that British general or that Sparrow was also an idiot. People who treat others as idiots usually become idiots themselves first!
"Okay, stop talking. Since the other party let us continue to operate the two warships, I am afraid that we will not be afraid that we will resist or run away! Anyway, it is just helping them to transport things, and it should not waste much time. Now, close Forget about your useless little thoughts, and go on your way with peace of mind."
This was what Hilton was most worried about, so after he waved his hand, he turned and left.
Under the instigation of his adjutant just now, he did have the slightest thought of running away, but he did not dare to take action in the end.
Whether it's those mysterious witches, or the other party's terrifying magic ships, as well as his own honor as a soldier, they have all strengthened his thoughts: it is not appropriate to escape without authorization, and everything will wait until they return to Port Royal. Let's talk about it later.
Soon, night fell, and at this time in the captain's cabin of the Intrepid, Anne, Cecilia, and Christina, two twin sisters, gathered in front of the captain's table, and the three leaned against the dim lamp. The kerosene lantern was lying on the nautical chart on the table and kept making gestures.
"Is it here? It seems not..."
Cecilia pointed to a place and looked at it, but she immediately vetoed it.
"Let me find out,
here? No...here? "
And her younger sister, Christina, was holding a dilapidated logbook dug out from nowhere, comparing them one by one.
It turned out that I was looking for some fun places and was going to continue to take risks.
According to the chart, they were about to reach the place where Barbossa's pirates buried their treasure, that is, the mysterious island where the Aztec gold coins were hidden.
If according to the original plan, they would return to Port Royal after getting the treasure. However, Annie said that she hasn't had enough fun yet, how could she go back so soon? That is absolutely impossible!
So, the three master and servant began to compare on the chart based on a logbook they found, and they tried to find some fun and exciting places on it!
It's a pity that, except for little Annie who can barely understand the chart, the two twin sisters can't understand it at all, they are just adding to the confusion. However, this does not prevent them from joining together to make suggestions. After all, they are just two playful fifteen-year-old girls now.
"Ah! Master Annie, I found something interesting! Look here, Bailang Bay? A mermaid? There really is a mermaid!"
The twin sister, Christina, seemed to have found something extraordinary, and hurriedly turned over a page of the diary like offering a treasure, and then spread it out in front of the little master Anne and her sister Cecilia.
On the top of this log is the history of Bailang Bay and the occurrence of mermaids. Then, there is an extremely dangerous warning message written in scrawled letters by the original owner of this navigation log. The three little witches were ignored.
"Mermaid? Where? Where? Let me see!"
As soon as she heard something interesting, little Anne hurried over. Naga or big-headed murlocs, she had seen a lot in Azeroth, and that half-demon named One Egg had many subordinates. , but mermaids are rarer, she has never seen one before.
"Huh? Is it true or not?"
Sure enough, she saw the words scrawled on the old diary: Bailang Bay, an ominous place! A large number of evil mermaids gather and live in the seabed here!
Be careful! Intruders, once you alert them, quickly find a way to go ashore and escape! Never be fooled by their beauty, and never try to sail past their territory at night, or death will drag you to the bottom of the sea...
Here, even giant ship cannons cannot absolutely guarantee your safety, so get out of here quickly!
However, the secret of eternal life is hidden here... As long as you get the tears of the mermaid and find the two Holy Grails on the island, then maybe you can find the secret of eternal life!
"Huh? Is this the end?"
Annie flipped through several pages of the diary without giving up, but she didn't see anything special or specific details.
"Neither where is the secret of eternal life hidden, nor where is the Holy Grail?"
She felt that the person who wrote this logbook must be a lazy, lazy bad guy!
Anne was really annoyed, who wrote this diary? Dare you write everything down? Like the holy grail, the treasure of eternal life, etc., at least you have to explain where it is, right? Write a few more words and you won't die!
"However, we finally know that there is a mermaid in Bailang Bay! Little master, should we go and have a look?"
The eccentric Christina was a little excited. It was the legendary mermaid. She thought it was a mermaid boasted by the sailors. Who would have thought that it really existed?
It’s fine if you don’t know about these legendary things. Now that she knows about them, she can’t help but want to take a look to see what they look like. Is it the same as the legend, the upper body of a human? fish tail? Can you still sing good songs? To confuse those sailors?
"Don't you want it? It's said above: mermaids are very dangerous!"
Cecilia is a little worried. She has a stable and conservative personality, and she doesn't want to take risks like this. If those mermaids are really dangerous, they will be in big trouble, and they will definitely be dragged into the bottom of the sea.
"Sister! We are witches now! We know magic, why are we afraid of mermaids?"
Christina retorted loudly to her sister.
They were all witches now! Although relying on the magic power of the bracelet, they haven't learned how to meditate to gather their own magic power, but now they can fly and cast fireballs! Mermaid or something, presumably, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with, right?
"That's right! We are not afraid of mermaids, besides, I have never seen a mermaid before, I must go and see it!"
After Annie closed the logbook, she continued to lie down on the precious sea chart and began to search for it.
"Ha! Found it! It's here!"
After searching for a while, Annie quickly drew a circle on the waterproof sheepskin chart with a charcoal pencil, marking the specific location of Bailang Bay.
Judging from the location, this location happened to be not far away on the way back when they were sailing back. At that time, if they took a little detour, they should be able to go and have a look.
If possible, it would be a good idea to try to catch a few mermaids and bring them back, right? I just don't know... can mermaids eat it? Could it be a disgusting guy like the deep-sea murlocs in Azeroth? Poppies with big heads?
Forget it... don't think about it!
"I've decided! On the return flight, let's go to Bailang Bay!"
Annie threw down the charcoal, and stood on the map happily announcing loudly, deciding on the next route and new destination of her fleet.
"Pfft~!"
Bai... Bailang Bay? !
Jack Sparrow, who was drinking a bottle of rum and getting drunk to enter the captain's cabin, just opened the door when he heard little Annie's shocking words, and he was so scared that he spit out Rum, and then he didn't care to wipe the wine stains all over his body, he hurried forward a few steps and asked:
"Sorry, I didn't seem to hear it wrong just now, right? You...are you planning to go to Bailang Bay?"
"Jack Sparrow! How could you come in here without knocking! What's the matter?"
The twin sister Christina raised her eyebrows and said displeasedly.
She doesn't like this strange pirate with gold teeth very much. Whether it looks or his usual behavior, he is weird. That kind of strange movement, even walking with his butt twisted, makes her feel very disgusted .
"Well... what am I going to do here? Ha! But this is not important now!"
Sparrow no longer cared what he thought when he first came in.
He seemed to have something important just now? Although I can't think of it at the moment, it's nothing more than taking advantage of the absence of others to pester the little girl witch and ask her to enchant other things of my own. It should be like this?
"Just now, my esteemed little witch, I seem to have heard you guys say... that you plan to go to Bailang Bay for fun?"
He took two steps forward cautiously, squeezed his orchid finger, twisted his waist, and approached the three little witches who were lying on the tabletop of the chart. Then, he was shocked to see a picture drawn on the chart. The big circle, where is Bailang Bay!
Jack Sparrow, who has been a captain for many years and is familiar with the charts of various sea areas, swears that the black circle is Bailang Bay. This is his specialty, and he will never admit it wrong.
"That's right! We are going to Bailang Bay, is there any problem?"
Christina slipped down from the table, then picked up the kerosene lantern on the table, walked aside, and carefully hung it on the lamp stand, making the captain's cabin look brighter.
"Well, can I ask, do you know what is in Bailang Bay?"
After confirming the other party's destination, Sparrow hesitated for a moment, then, after thinking about it, he continued to ask a little uncertainly.
"Isn't it a mermaid, what's wrong?"
After Christina hung up the kerosene lamp, she moved a little further away from the pirate ship. This person smelled bad. Has he not washed since he went out to sea? Isn't this person too dirty?
"Mermaids! You really know where there are mermaids, so why do you dare to go there? They can eat people! They will drag you into the deep sea, and then cut you up and eat them piece by piece! The ones with no bones left kind!"
Jack Sparrow hastened to emphasize the frightening aspects of mermaids. He felt that these three little girls were a little too big-hearted?
Do they really know, how many people died in Bailang Bay? How many ships have sunk? After those mermaids go crazy, no matter how big the boat is, they can overturn it, and then drag the sailors who fell into the water, one by one, into the deep sea to drown and eat them!
You know, in the past, Bailang Bay was an important small port city for navigation in the UK. See it shine.
Think about how prosperous and rich it was once...
But now? Ever since the sea area was occupied by mermaids, it has become a ruin. Even the mighty British guy has nothing to do with those mermaids, and finally had to abandon it in embarrassment, completely abandoning that important route node and Beautiful little city.
"So what? Aren't they just some mermaids? What's the big deal? I'm going to have a look!"
Annie snorted coldly, and curled her lips disdainfully at Sparrow.
She has burned two of the more terrifying and powerful giant dragons, and beaten away one of the black dragons. She can't even coward the big devil, so how could she be afraid of these little mermaids? No matter how powerful they are, are they as powerful as the Great Demon Archimonde? Are there any undead natural disasters? Surely not?
"Yes, we must go and see! We are witches, how could we be afraid of those mermaids?"
Christina also added on the side.
The three of them, the master and the servant, found this interesting place with great difficulty, so they have to go and have a look at it no matter what!
"Oh... witch! I remember."
Jack Sparrow finally remembered the identities of the three little girls, well, they are omnipotent witches!
If you look at it this way, maybe going to Bailang Bay is not so dangerous? After all, he has seen mermaids before, and their fighting power is definitely not as brutal as witches. Generally speaking, those mermaids are also within the category of normal strange creatures, and they don't seem to have any special extraordinary abilities?
Hmm... The fact that you can't drown in the sea shouldn't be considered a special ability, right?
"In this case, if you know Bailang Bay, then you must not know where the spring of immortality is, right?"
Jack Sparrow rolled his eyes. He seemed to have thought of a good idea, which should be able to exchange some good things from the witch!
"Fountain of Immortality? Is that the secret of eternal life written in the diary? Where is it? And the two holy grails written in the diary?"
Annie asked puzzledly, the spring of immortality? Is there really such a thing?
Although Annie herself is now immortal because of the time gem, she still wants to see something that sounds magical like the eternal spring water.
"Aha! Surely you don't know, right?"
"I can take you to find them, of course, and press the two necessary holy grails! I also know where they are! But... as long as you help me enchant this pistol, such as: unlimited ammo or something ?”
After finishing speaking, Jack Sparrow obsequiously handed over the exquisite short-barreled pistol inlaid with gold and ivory that he had handed over from the commander of the Spanish fleet, Hilton.
"Infinite ammo? I don't know this kind of enchantment! It's impossible!"
Annie shook her head, how could there be such an outrageous enchantment?
Infinite ammunition or something obviously violates the conservation of matter! Unless it is an energy-type pistol, with an energy-gathering magic circle attached, it can barely achieve unlimited ammunition, but there are various restrictions, such as the time of energy gathering, the validity period of the magic circle, and so on.
For a gunpowder weapon like Sparrow's, forget it. Unlimited ammunition is impossible. If you enchant a spell reproduction or something like that, you can barely do two bursts. Want infinite ammunition? That's far from it.
"At most, I can only attach one precision technique to you, and the others are useless."
After thinking about it, Little Annie still gave the other party a suggestion. In her mind, this enchantment is quite reliable.
"Precise technique? What's the use of that? Is it accurate? But, I'm already very accurate now! I'm a sharpshooter! Even in the dark night, I can break a cable with one shot!"
Jack Sparrow shook his head after listening to the little witch's words. The precision technique alone was far from enough to attract him. He didn't want this kind of tasteless enchantment.
"My precision technique is different! If I enchant you, this gun of yours will be able to shoot very accurately! You can shoot wherever you want, and the bullet will bend! Don't you think about it ?”
This bad guy dared to raise conditions!
Annie's precision technique is extraordinary, so she explained seriously that these strange enchantments were based on those enchantments she had read in books, and after her own random modification, as for What the specific effect is, maybe only after using it can we know.
"make a deal!"
After listening to the little witch's explanation, Jack Sparrow didn't even think about it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to hand over his precious pistol.
Then, he rubbed his palms and looked obsequiously at the little witch in front of him, hoping that she would enchant him quickly. Where to hit? Will the bullet bend? And lo and behold, he made it again!
