Reborn As a Pirate

In 1579, Sir Herrera of Aviles, Spain crossed the Atlantic Ocean on his beloved Crocodile to serve as Governor of Honduras in the rich New World.

As a result, after living happily for more than half a year, he got an infectious disease.

Under the leadership of the captain Mikel Arteta, the Shallow Water Crocodile took the sick Jazz back home for treatment, but encountered a storm on the way, not only broke the nautical compass, but also deviated from the course. In a foggy day, it accidentally sailed into This strange foggy area.

Lorraine suspected that the boatman had offended the gods and Buddhas all over the sky...

They lost their way in the fog and struggled to survive. Sir Herrera's infectious disease broke out on the ship again. After a long period of suffering, they finally claimed the lives of the entire ship.

This is why there will be so few bones on board.

Those who died prematurely or were about to die were thrown overboard by those who still had strength, and those who were weak were thrown overboard by those who were strong.

The number of people on board is getting less and less, and those who abandon others suffer from fear and despair far longer than those who are abandoned, and meet the final death in the midst of loneliness, guilt and cursing.

Lorraine silently read all the non-coded parts of the diary.

The first half is high-spirited and records the voyage of the Alligator across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. The second half is gradually scribbled. They carry the patients back home, encounter storms, diseases, get stuck in fog, and murder the crew...

Captain Arteta cursed his employer Sir Herrera at length in his diary.

It was the selfish and crazy noble who ordered the abandonment of the first batch of living people. This ocean-going warship, which originally had 80 excellent sailors and its hull was unscathed, lost its last chance in the midst of betrayal and cannibalism. .

And Sir Herrera also failed to get a good death.

After two loyal and powerful musket guards fell ill, the master and slave were brutally exiled to a small boat by the last crew, with no water and waiting to die.

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end..." Lorraine murmured and closed the diary, looked up and said to Noah and Haina, "No wonder the captain and navigator live in the lower cabin. It turns out that this ship has honored guests on board."

"passenger?"

"Yes, Sir Herrera of Aviles lives in the upper cabin with his two guards."

"Aviles...Herrera?" Noya looked strange, "I remember..."

Lorraine smiled and raised the diary in his hand.

"The Herrera Chamber of Commerce, a close ally of the Desai Chamber of Commerce, is the Chamber of Commerce of Aviles. And this diary can discredit their family. It is the most precious gift left by Captain Arteta for us."

Lorraine's words made Hana curious: "What's written in it?"

"A despicable murder." Lorraine rewrapped the oilcloth on the diary and tied the straps tightly, "Sir Herrera coerced the captain into murdering about twenty sick crew members. Out of guilt, Captain Arteta put everything The details were recorded."

"It's baby." Hana said concisely.

The diary turned the Alligator from a wreck to a treasure ship.

After getting out of the captain's cabin, they went to the upper deck, and found a ruby-studded family crest ring and a small box, about 300 pistoles, in the jazz's cabin.

Pistor is a gold coin minted in Spain, which is equivalent to the pound sterling, but it is rare now.

Spaniards now prefer small eight-character gold coins and Spanish gold dollars, and the circulation of Pistor is becoming less and less, and it has gradually acquired a premium for collections.

A pistol can fetch about two or three pounds if you find the right buyer.

Compared with Mr. Captain's voyage diary, these things can only be regarded as small gains.

The three returned with a full load, and the sailors untied the shackles from the Shallow Water Crocodile, and watched the ghost ship disappear into the fog again in the foggy area, continuing its endless wandering.

The atmosphere on board was oppressive.

Lorraine called her sailors together,

Had a short meeting by the hole in the bow.

"We found Mr. Arteta's nautical diary on the Shallow Water Crocodile. According to his guess, this place is probably Hebasi."

"Herbas?"

The expressions of the sailors were completely different. Henna, Noah, and Pierce looked confused, while Karen and Yacharin, who was tied to the bowsprit, were full of horror.

Herbazi is the name of a mysterious island that has been talked about by seagoing sailors since 1325.

At the earliest time, people speculated that it was the new continent at the end of the ocean. When Columbus discovered the new continent, it became the Devil's Island hanging in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The theory of isolated islands prevailed in Europe from the 15th to the 17th centuries. In "The Sailor's Mirror Image", there is an annotation about Hebasi Island, which is located in the mid-latitude seas west of Iceland, but it was quickly proved to be wrong.

In 1674, Irish Kilbeggs adventurer John Naspert claimed to have found and landed on Herbashi Island.

He said there lived a male wizard on the island who kept as a pet a black rabbit the size of a mountain and liked to hand out gold coins to lucky sailors.

But he did not announce the location of the island, and the crew and sailors on board did not directly respond to his claims.

Two years later, his ship, the Macaw, disappeared in the North Atlantic. Some people say that they went to Hebashi again, and were left behind by the wizards on the island.

Lorraine has always sneered at the legend of Herbazi, but what if... what John Naspert said is true?

He briefly introduced the past of Hebasi Island to the sailors, and the sailors frowned deeply.

Hana stared into Lorraine's eyes: "Are you going to explore the foggy area?"

Holding the compass, Lorraine shrugged: "We are heading west."

"Turned?"

"Turning around. We rushed into the foggy area from the northeast, drifted south at first, and now drift west. The Shallow Water Crocodile has been drifting in this small sea area for two hundred years and has not been able to leave. This all shows that we are in the midst of On a closed loop."

Lorraine turned around the hole, looking at the center of the hole with an inexplicable expression: "If this is really Hebashi Island, then the island must be in the center of the circulation, otherwise the closed loop will be opened, the ocean current will be chaotic, and it cannot be so stable. "

"The wizard who gave the gold coins..." He smiled, and looked up at his sailors, "Gentlemen and ladies, do you want to visit the wizard's house?"

...

It's not too hard a decision to make because they're in a bad place right now.

Nearly a thousand kilometers away from the mainland, the watertight cabin is seeping water, and there may be murderers waiting for them outside the foggy area.

Everyone knows in their hearts that if they can't make emergency repairs on the shore in a short time, the possibility of them sailing back to England safely is close to zero.

In contrast, the risk of exploring the unknown is much smaller, at least, they can still see the chance of living.

In order to survive, choose to explore.

In order to boost the morale of the sailors, Lorraine took out the Pistors he had found from the Shallow Water Crocodile, and gave each sailor a bonus, two for each.

Six to ten pounds was equivalent to several months' wages, and the sailors were cheered and refreshed by the windfall.

In the midst of laughter, Lorraine announced the news of He Brazil, which was unanimously supported by the whole ship.

Busy on the Butterfly, she turned the bow of the ship slowly but firmly, cutting across the circulation, heading north all the way to the depths of the unknown sea of ​​fog.
