The 183rd Chapter Witch's 5 Fireball Gods (1)
.
Merchants or pirates from various European countries know that there is a special place in the Caribbean Sea of the New World. It is a port city, a free trade port open to the outside world in principle. For those who come here, whether they are ships berthing for supplies or selling goods, or selling some shady things, etc., the managers of the port never ask the source!
It is Tetuga, or, you can also call it: Turtle Island!
It was the most notorious pirate trading port in the seventeenth century, where pirates and sea privateers often carried out criminal activities such as selling stolen goods, selling or recruiting new pirates, and smuggling sensitive materials.
Of course, it is also a gathering place for all kinds of down-and-out people. Here, you can find retired or forced to retire ex-navies, drunkards, unemployed people from all walks of life, rogues, ruffians Gangsters, desperadoes, prostitutes, bankrupt ship owners, etc., they are all ideal pirate reserves, as long as you have money, you can recruit anyone you want here!
Then, as long as you still have a boat that isn't too bad, they can go to sea with you anytime to have a big fight!
After all, changing jobs to become a pirate is a good career for them who can get rich and rich, and it is completely worth the risk of being hanged!
Of course, the premise is that you must have enough courage and skill to control them, otherwise, the sad end of the famous Captain Jack Sparrow back then is a good example!
"Hey! Dude, have you heard? I heard that the British Port Royal has been occupied by a group of mysterious people! They also completely open the port, and they don't charge any additional taxes!"
In a noisy bar, three smuggling captains gathered in a corner, drinking rum and muttering under their breath.
This kind of golden cave with mixed people is a good place for these desperadoes living at sea to have fun and exchange information. After everyone drank a lot and got drunk, a one-eyed captain said to the other three mysteriously:
"Moreover, it is said that not long ago, when the British's Caribbean fleet went to crusade, dozens of warships, large and small, were all wiped out!"
"..."
"Occupying Port Royal and annihilating the Caribbean fleet, how is this possible? When did this happen and which country did it?"
A bearded captain next to him wiped a handful of wine stuck to his beard,
asked with a look of shock.
He had just smuggled a batch of spices and oriental specialty silk from the East India to sell on Turtle Island, and he made a lot of money.
While gaining huge profits, the several months of sea voyage also made his news extremely blocked. After all, in this era when there was no radio and information was transmitted entirely by men, horses and ships, he who smuggled and sailed at sea was a Did not receive any information at all.
Besides, he didn't dare to stop at the official port for supplies or inquire about the news. Once he entered the official port, those vampire-like port officials had to force him to hand over his goods after seeing his cargo. A huge tax bill!
"I have vaguely heard others talking about the matter you mentioned. Could it be that the Spanish navy did it and they declared war on Britain again?"
Another bald French guy next to him also came up. He was the owner of an armed merchant ship.
Although nominally, he is running a normal specialty trade, but the other two people at the same table with him know that this guy is a ruthless bastard!
As long as he encounters a weaker merchant ship in a remote area on the sea, he can immediately open the gun door, change the flag, and then turn around and become a professional pirate ship. No one is left alive!
"Except for the Spaniards, I am afraid few countries dare to attack the British."
The bald man has only heard a few words of the news, and he has been guessing that the Spaniards did it, because in the Caribbean Sea, only the Spaniards are capable of competing with the British Caribbean Sea Fleet. , it is not enough to watch!
When he thought about it, even if he gathered all the pirate ships in the Caribbean Sea, he might not have the guts to confront the British navy.
"No! You guessed wrong, it wasn't the Spaniards who did it! The strength of the Spaniards in the Caribbean is not enough for the British to deal with it! Well, you might as well make a guess."
The one-eyed captain cracked his yellow teeth, and looked proudly at the two curious faces.
Obviously, they don't know this news yet, so he seems to be able to mix in a free meal with this news
"It's impossible if it's not Spanish or Dutch! They don't have the guts! As for us French, it's even more impossible!"
The bald man thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out.
When the most likely Spaniard was rejected, he really couldn't figure out which country had the courage to do such a big thing. As for whether it might be done by a big pirate, he didn't think about it at all.
She is very clear about the situation of the pirates! They will also be able to snatch merchant ships at sea and have fun. It is not funny at all to ask them to go to land to fight against the regular army!
"Stop rambling, hurry up and tell me who did it!"
The bearded captain drank the rum in his wine glass in one gulp, patted the table, motioned for the bartender to continue serving the wine, and then looked dissatisfied at the one-eyed dragon across the table.
It's just an interesting piece of news. As for hiding things like this, it's not a profitable business, so there's no need to whet the appetite of the two of them like this.
"Haha! You must not be able to figure it out."
Cyclops smiled smugly again, and then approached the two of them mysteriously.
"I'm telling you, actually, it's a witch! A witch did it! And..."
After seeing that neither of them could guess, the one-eyed captain didn't give too much away, and quickly revealed the news he knew with a grinning grin.
At the beginning, when he heard all this, he couldn't believe it. For this reason, he specially sent his ship to Port Royal and witnessed all this with his own eyes!
"Witch, you must be joking, this is completely impossible!"
The bearded man who was full of anticipation heard it, grabbed a large bottle of rum to refill his glass, and then waved his hand to interrupt what Cyclops was about to say next.
In his opinion, witches and the like, at best, play with animal offal, venom, and make themselves look weird, or cast curses to cheat money! If it is more powerful, it may be able to predict certain things in the future Playing with some crystal balls pretending to be a ghost This is the end of it
It is completely impossible to attack the city and wipe out a fleet!
"Ha! That's right, there is absolutely no way a witch did it, you must be joking."
Hearing this, the bald man also shook his head, leaned on the back of his chair, shook his head and smiled at the one-eyed dragon.
The most powerful witch he knew was the one called Tia Doma
But even that witch named Tia Doma, she was just talking all day long, and I didn't see how powerful she was, but she just played some witchcraft that he couldn't understand.
It is said that there is a powerful existence sealed in her body. However, this is just a legend, and it may not be true.
As for the other witch baldheads, at most they dissected frogs, and then predicted some unreliable things or sea conditions and weather based on the color of their internal organs, that's all at most!
Otherwise, the church would not have easily burned so many witches over the years. Those witches who were burned did not even have the strength to resist the persecution of the church. regular army against
"I really didn't lie to you! I dare to swear in the name of God!"
Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, Cyclops got anxious and quickly swore.
"Moreover, I saw all of this with my own eyes! Including how they defeated the incoming British Caribbean Royal Fleet! Because, I was in Port Royal at the time, and I saw everything with my own eyes, I swear!"
"Besides, how could this kind of thing be faked? After a while, it will definitely spread throughout the Caribbean!"
Thinking of seeing those witches at the beginning, Cyclops' expression changed, and he was full of dignity.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he wouldn't have easily believed that a group of witches had such terrifying methods, right? Especially their leader, what is his name Charlotte? When he got up to attack, that kind of terrifying power was something he could never imagine before!
"No, witch...how is this possible?"
After the bald man and the bearded man looked at each other, they slowly sat up straight and moved closer together again.
"Then tell us, what was the situation at that time?"
The two of them still can't understand the fact that a witch can capture a city and annihilate a fleet. This matter just sounds unreliable...
"Hey! Let me tell you. At that time, I had just arrived at Port Royal, and I hadn't disembarked for a long time. Before I could make up my mind whether to accept the procurement task issued by the witch, the British Caribbean fleet attacked. , That scene is really spectacular!"
Cyclops began to talk about the situation that day, which was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
"That's dozens of warships... At that time, I almost thought that the ship I parked in the port must be finished! But how could I have thought... Uh"
Cyclops hiccupped and was about to pick up the wine glass to take another sip, but he found that his own oak glass had already been emptied.
"Quick! Tell us well!"
When he really heard the crucial moment, the itchy bald man stood up courteously, picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass for Cyclops, hoping that the other party would hurry up and continue talking about what he just said.
"That's right! It's best to talk about it in detail back and forth, starting from when you went to Port Royal, and I paid for the drink!"
The bearded captain patted his chest proudly, and generously threw two golden coins onto the table.
He just sniffed out a business opportunity from Cyclops' few words!
If everything is true, those witches, they will issue procurement missions
When it comes to things like shopping, or smuggling, it's his old profession! He needs to have a good understanding of the witches who occupied Port Royal and defeated the British Royal Navy, and then look for opportunities to see if they can make money
If he could make money by doing transportation near the Caribbean Sea, he himself would not want to go into the ocean trade business, it would be like risking his life! Those who have never personally traveled the far sea can never imagine what kind of despair it is when they are faced with violent storms or various disasters at sea!
