Reborn As a Pirate

This large-scale vampire bat attack caused heavy losses to the expedition.

There were four people who fell into the water one after another, and seven people who did not fall into the water but were injured to varying degrees, including Yacharin.

Falling into the water or not seems to have become the criterion for judging the severity of the injury.

Because people who did not fall into the water were generally not seriously injured, but those who fell into the water...

Two of the four died due to excessive blood loss, and when the other two were picked up, they had too much air to breathe out and less air to breathe out.

The injury is so tragic, mainly because the saliva of vampire bats contains hemolysin.

This special enzyme will kill platelets in large quantities, prevent blood clotting, and facilitate smoking.

Their alienated fangs and foraging habits are also good at tearing huge wounds near blood vessels, further speeding up the flow of blood.

With the combination of these two, everyone knows that even if Lorraine immediately stopped the expedition and sent them back to the Butterfly, they would not be able to survive tonight.

After obtaining their consent, Lorraine ordered people to end their lives, collected the relics, and the bodies sank into the sea, going to the destination of every sailor.

The funeral cast a shadow over everyone's heart. The team lost their original sporadic laughter. After paddling in silence and stability for more than half an hour, they finally heard the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

The waves on the shore meant that they had come to the end of the channel.

"Retract the oars!" Lorraine's voice echoed in the deep and dark waterway, causing echoes to reach everyone's ears.

Lorraine stood up, stepped on the swaying boards and walked straight to the bow, raised the torch and shook the tall black figure in front of him a few times.

"Is this...a sailboat?"

They spotted a Brig sailing ship at the end of the channel...

The standard two-masted full-rigged sail frigate is 30 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 5.5 meters high.

Her double gun ports were closed, and she was moored at the end of the rolling dark waterway, crouching like a silent monster at the entrance of hell.

This made Lorraine lose his mind for a while.

The standard sailing ship is a fashion that only emerged after the warship classification system matured. Its origin can only be traced back to the early and middle of the 17th century.

At that time, the British and Dutch warship Chibo went into battle, frantically plundering the opponent's merchant ships on the vast sea, hoping to cut off the opponent's business routes.

Merchant ships can only maintain trade under the escort of warships.

In order to adapt to the speed and formation of full-sail warships, merchants were forced to abandon the original style of material shipbuilding, and quickly formed a new shipbuilding industry standard in which offshore merchant ships were built casually and ocean-going merchant ships were as uniform as possible.

That is, since then, the term "standard size" has begun to exist.

A Brig frigate built in modern times suddenly appeared in a treasure cave in the 9th century, and the sidelights were all extinguished, looking empty...

Lorraine couldn't help licking her lips.

"By the side. Noah and I board the ship first, with Henna at the rear, and Yacharin in charge of commanding the sailors."

He ordered softly.

The two boats were close together, the four sailors jumped to the front boat, while Noah and Heina switched to the back boat.

They approached cautiously, starboard and starboard, throwing hook lines.

Lorraine was the first to board the ship from the port side, drew his knife with a clang, and raised his torch high.

After a while, Nuoya also boarded from the starboard side. The two guarded each other back and forth, and searched the cabin as quickly as possible, but found no one.

Everything was neatly packed, the chains were rusted, and the four-, six-, and nine-pounders were wrapped in tarpaulins in the gun-wells.

Nobody, living, dead, skeletons alike.

Lorraine found a privateer license on the bulkhead of the captain's cabin, which was issued by the Kingdom of Ireland in 1659 and granted to Captain John Naspert.

All mysteries solved...

Lorraine took Noah back to the deck,

Signal to both sides.

Under the leadership of the sailors, the sailors boarded the ship and surrounded Lorraine, waiting for orders.

Lorraine's voice sounded particularly low: "Search the entire ship carefully. This is the Macaw, the flagship that John Naspert lost, the Macaw..."

...

It is naturally convenient to search the unmanned cabin, not to mention that the sailors participating in the expedition are all the best on the Lorraine ship.

The status of the ship and various discoveries converged in front of Lorraine one by one.

This ship is indeed the Irish expedition ship Macaw that disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean a hundred years ago. It is a standard Brig type and fully equipped with two masts.

Her ship's material is expensive military ship material, century-old oak.

The cave is a peculiar environment with high ammonia, and ammonia is corrosive to wood, but it is strange that even though it has not been repaired for hundreds of years, the ship's ship materials and keel are still old and not decayed, and are well preserved.

However, her sails, cables and glue are still completely weathered, and she needs to go through tedious and meticulous care if she wants to sail on the ocean again.

In addition, the 28 guns are in good condition, most of which are small-caliber guns that were popular a hundred years ago. The main battles are nine-pound and six-pound guns.

The four anchors were completely destroyed, and the winches and iron chains were rusted together. If you want to sail, you can only find a way to discard the anchors.

Lorraine is basically sure that the crew of the Macaw left the ship with sufficient preparations.

Because every cabin is neatly placed, important items such as nautical charts, captain's diary, octant and nautical compass are all wrapped in oilcloth and carefully stored.

The sailors also found gold, silver and copper coins worth about 18 pounds. Lorraine didn't want a penny and distributed them directly to the sailors of the expedition.

They also found a closed crew cabin belonging to a launch captain who had died on the voyage, and his weapons had been collected as relics, including two Dublin muskets and a fine silver rapier.

They became Yacharin's first harvest, and Yacharin beamed with joy.

After a hundred years of solitude, there were only so many usable things left on board, and Lorraine made a lot of money.

The first is the ship. Lorraine will definitely be able to drag it out of the sea cave. As for whether it can be brought back to Southampton, it depends on whether Karen can restore her sailing ability under the existing conditions.

The second is the sea chart. Naspert's sea chart has a mature high-latitude transatlantic route, from Ireland to the West Indies, and so on, which opened up the New World route for Lorraine.

The third is Naspert's voyage diary.

Putting aside the secret language, Lorraine saw a complete account of Hebashi's expedition in the diary.

Naspert and his crew landed on the island twice, not only exploring the whole island, but also seeing the ancient treasures in the sea caves.

He called the sea cave "a wizard who likes to give gold coins to sailors".

However, the wizard was not as friendly as he advertised.

When he landed for the first time, a riot broke out on his ship because of the uneven distribution of spoils. Naspert suppressed the riot by luck, killed many people, and was seriously injured himself.

The macaw, which suffered a heavy loss, lost the ability to continue exploring, and had to leave the island with regret and scars, until two years later, it returned to the old place.

The diary stops here.

Naspert did not describe the results of the second exploration in it, but the Macaw has been lurking in the sea cave like a ghost for a hundred years, and has revealed the results of the second exploration to Lorraine.

completely annihilated……

Lorraine closed the diary and tied the oilcloth tightly. Hana looked at him with emerald eyes, full of searching.

"From here, you can directly enter the treasure land, which is well preserved, dry, and closed." Lorraine pondered for a moment, then said softly to Hana, "There may be great unknown risks on the road. Nasbolt took forty sailors in. , and none of them came out."
