Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Under Xiang Nan's strong promotion, the belief in the monkey god Chak Baba quickly spread in Port Royal and Tetuga.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan was indeed a man of real ability, and he was generous and generous, which naturally attracted believers; on the other hand, the lives of the people in the Caribbean in the 18th century were indeed miserable.

At that time, the people in the Caribbean were either farming in plantations, fishing at sea, sailing, or pirates.

Whether farming, fishing, sailing, or being a pirate, they all depended on the weather.

The Caribbean has a tropical marine climate with unpredictable weather, especially from June to November, when cyclone activities are intensive.

That is to say, half of the year, the people in the Caribbean face the threat of storms, rainstorms, and even hurricanes. Once a hurricane hits, crops will be uprooted and ships may be swallowed by the sea. Their wealth and lives will naturally go with it.

In addition to the harsh climate, the dirty living environment, backward medical technology, and heavy daily work also threaten people's lives.

At that time, people did not have the concept and conditions to take a bath every day, and most people might not take a bath once a year. In "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", Captain Jack ridiculed himself for never taking a bath.

And domestic garbage was also thrown everywhere, so feces and urine were everywhere. The reason why Europe invented high heels and parasols was to prevent stepping on feces on the ground and being splashed with feces and urine when walking on the road.

This made it easy for plagues to spread, such as colds, dysentery, typhoid, malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, and even syphilis and smallpox, which were very easy to spread.

Therefore, the mortality rate of the people at that time was very high.

According to statistics, in the 18th century, one-third of white immigrants died within three years after arriving in the New World. At that time, the number of people who died in Jamaica each year accounted for about 20% of the total population.

This was still white immigrants with free status, and the fate of those slaves was even more tragic.

When many slaves were trafficked, one-quarter would die on the ship, and the rest would die one-third within three years when they arrived in the Caribbean.

Therefore, many plantation owners needed to buy 10% of slaves every year, otherwise there would not be enough people to work.

At that time, the life expectancy in the UK was 35 years old, while in the Caribbean it was only 10 years old.

Therefore, the people in the Caribbean, although they dare not say that they always put their heads on their belts, they also suffer hardships all year round and are threatened by diseases, plagues, and famines.

Therefore, they are more likely to believe in gods and place their safety and well-being on unknown gods. After all, as the saying goes, people don't tell fortunes unless they are unlucky.

Therefore, the number of believers of the monkey god Chak Baba has grown rapidly.

...

Of course, Xiang Nan's main energy was not focused on helping Chak Baba preach.

Because Chak Baba is a god in name, but in fact he is very weak, just a weak Loa god.

In Xiang Nan's view, he is not even as powerful as the legendary City God, and may not even have an advantage over the Mountain God and the Land God.

Because the Mountain God and the Land God can also protect one side, not only to bless one side with good weather and good harvests, but also to help clean up the goblins and monsters that are not too powerful, so as to prevent the local people from being harmed.

But Chak Baba does not have this kind of power. He can only bless his believers, making them faster and more alert.

After all, he is just a monkey god, and his believers are all black people in the African jungle. The biggest threat they face every day is that they can't hunt and eat.

Therefore, the monkey god Chak Baba has no ability to bless believers to make a fortune, bless believers with good health, bless believers with love, bless believers from being bullied, etc.

So serving such a god can't make Xiang Nan's strength improve much. If you want to improve your strength, you still have to rely on yourself.

So he soon started a new adventure, and the first stop was to find the Fountain of Youth.

He wanted to explore the secret of the Fountain of Youth and take back Ponce de Leon's treasure.

Ponce de Leon was a Spanish adventurer in the 16th century. He really existed in history. At the end of the 15th century, he followed Columbus on an adventure, and then embarked on an adventure alone.

He led troops to conquer Puerto Rico, Florida and other places, and served as the governor of Puerto Rico, Florida and the Mini Islands. According to historical records, he did look for the traces of the Fountain of Youth and died in a battle with local natives.

Xiang Nan knew that Ponce de Leon finally found the Fountain of Youth, but he was also cursed by a mermaid and eventually died there. And his San Diego is now in White Wave Bay.

White Wave Bay is in southern Florida, a notorious and creepy place.

Because it is said that there are mermaids there. Mermaids not only have amazing beauty, but also have moving voices. They will also use beauty and singing to seduce passing ships.

When people on the ship see their beautiful faces and hear their moving songs, they can't help but jump into the sea, and then they will be caught by mermaids and taken to the depths of the ocean to be eaten alive.

Therefore, White Wave Bay has gradually become a taboo place, and few ships dare to approach, even cruel and vicious pirates.

...

Before going to White Wave Bay, Xiang Nan went to find Jack Sparrow first.

To be exact, these days, whenever Jack Sparrow was short of alcohol, he would come to Weird George's Shop to find Xiang Nan, and exchange his previous adventure stories with Xiang Nan for alcohol.

Jack Sparrow had many adventure stories before. He found the sword of the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez, found the heart of Zerzula, the most precious treasure of the African tribe, and found the legendary Trident of Poseidon. Become the king of mermaids in just one click.

He also fought against the former pirate king Henry Morgan (one of the makers of the "Pirate Code"), the mysterious and strange witch Lady Midnight, and made a deal with the devil Davy Jones...

Coupled with the real and fake adventure experiences, a lot of wine was taken away from Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan has read the "Legend of Captain Jack" series of novels, and knows some of Captain Jack's past and the adventures he described. Many of them are untrue, exaggerated, and some are even made up.

But Xiang Nan didn't care, he welcomed Jack to play with him.

"Boss, he is a liar. He only tells stories. Few people in the entire Port of Tetuga believe him." Ryan Thomson, owner of Weird George Store, advised Xiang Nandao.

Jack Sparrow now has a very bad reputation. Everyone knows that he was betrayed by his crew and is now so poor that he has nothing. No one regards him as a big shot anymore, only he himself is still pretentious.

So Ryan Thomson was deeply dissatisfied with his use of false adventure stories to cheat people into drinking.
