Chapter 669: Looking for Jax Sparrow
Li Nan's fleet was flagged with pirate flags, and dozens of guns were deployed on both sides of the ship, so such ships could not enter Port Royal, which had coastal defense.
This little thing naturally couldn't help Li Nan, leaving Mrs. Qing to command the fleet on the flagship, and she took Xiao Qingyan and Angelica, as well as ten black iron zombies wearing black cloaks to cover their bodies, and sailed to the bustling Port Royal in a small boat.
The speed of the boat situation was not fast, Li Nan looked at the three skeleton pirates hanging on the reef of the harbor, and said with a smile: "It seems that the British are very unfriendly to us pirates." ”
"They are the famous pirate captains 'Wicked Haven', 'Black-Eyed' Susan, and 'Lawrence'. Captain Schaefer'. ”
Angelica said with disdain: "The British have worked hard to defeat our Spain, and even recruited a large number of pirates to work for them. But not all pirates are willing to be lackeys, they are just pirate captains who are not willing to give up their freedom. ”
"Okay." For the person who gave up his life for freedom, whether he was a pirate or not, he still deserved Li Nan to take off his hat to show respect.
The boat slowly sailed towards the dock, and when Li Nan saw the warship flying the British flag, his eyes suddenly shot with a fine light.
The three-masted sailing ship, called the Dreadnought, looked so beautiful and imposing, with a sturdy black and yellow hull, white sails, a lion's head and a unicorn shield in the bow, and most notably a hundred guns on either side of the ship.
This should be considered a first-class battleship, and you can imagine that when these guns are fired together, it must be very ferocious and spectacular.
As soon as the boat docked, a tax collector came over, looking at the Englishman with a wig and stockings, Li Nan handed him a few silver coins, and asked casually: "I want to inquire about some news, where should I go?" ”
The docking fee was no more than a penny, and with a few silver coins in his hand, the tax collector pointed to the city with satisfaction and said, "The Whale and the Drain Inn!" ”
Whale and Drain Mouth Hotel, this strange name Li Nan really didn't understand the meaning, but in order to find out the news, everyone still walked in.
Pushing open the broken wooden door of this inn, which contains the functions of a restaurant, tavern and lodging, you are greeted by a smell mixed with various odors.
Li Nan knew that the sanitary conditions in this era were not good, but he never expected it to be so smelly, so he immediately held his breath and slowly adapted to the unpleasant smell.
Also covering her nose with a handkerchief is Xiao Qingyan, Angelica, who is accustomed to this smell, and those black iron zombies who are not humans, but they don't have much reaction.
Money has magical power most of the time, and when a few silver coins are still on the dirty bar, the bartender has a terrifying but passionate smile.
Glancing at the wine glasses that had not been wiped at all, Li Nan gave up his intention to drink a glass and asked bluntly, "Someone has heard of Jack. Sparrow? ”
"Jack. Sparrow? The ugly bartender with yellow teeth shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of this man.
The bartender's answer surprised Li Nan very much, he looked at Angelica and said suspiciously, "You didn't mean Jack. Is Sparrow the Pirate King of the Caribbean, and why doesn't anyone here know him? ”
"Actually, I haven't met Jack. Sparrow, but I'm sure his name used to be loud. ”
Angelica, who was also puzzled, slapped the table and asked the bartender, "What about the Black Pearl, have you ever heard of this ship?" ”
"Black Pearl!" Hearing the name, the bartender's face suddenly showed a look of fear, and even a few drunken sailors who were drinking near the bar stopped moving.
It seems that there is a play, Li Nan threw out a small bag of silver coins again, and after getting this huge windfall, the bartender seemed to have courage and guts in an instant.
The ugly bartender lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Black Pearl is now a ghost ship, and that ship, under the leadership of Captain Barbossa, burned and plundered everywhere, and sank several ships of the British Navy that pursued them. ”
After listening to the bartender's words, Li Nan nodded clearly, after all, Angelica has been in Huaxia to search for Zheng He's "Crossing the Ocean with Stars" for several years, and it seems that the current situation is very different from the information she knows.
The captain of the Black Pearl, the pirate king of the Caribbean, Jack. Sparrow is silent, and the Pirate King of the Caspian Sea, who was originally the first mate of the Black Pearl, Barbossa, has become the current captain, and it seems that finding Jack is not as easy as he thought.
Walking out of this stinky inn, Li Nan looked at the sea in the distance and said with a little disappointment: "It seems that we should try our luck at other ports." ”
Although Li Nan wanted to leave, it was a little late, and there was no hurry, so everyone still found a hotel with a high price and a very good service.
Life on the boat was not too easy, so eating the tender and juicy steak, Li Nan was full of praise for the skill of the innkeeper and ordered a few more.
"Meow!" Just as everyone was sitting at the table and feasting, the kitten from the hands of the indigenous Africans jumped on the table in front of Li Nan.
"You want to eat steak too?" Li Nan, who can communicate with animals in animal language, asked.
Seeing the cat nodding repeatedly, Li Nan immediately called the chef to serve a steak, and soon his attention was attracted by the cat's actions.
The cat observed how the others were eating, and then instead of biting directly with its mouth, like the other cats, it stretched out its right paw, revealing the sharp, somewhat unusual claw tip, and cut the whole steak into regular pieces.
Seeing the cat eating gracefully, Li Nan felt more and more that something was wrong with this strange kitten, but when he was on the boat, he communicated with it in animal language, but it had no other reaction except for eating and drinking.
"Do you have a name?" Li Nan looked at the cat and asked.
This question made the kitten stop eating, it raised its head to look at Li Nan, hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Best." ”
It's good that there is progress, Li Nan was about to communicate with it more, but he heard a loud noise faintly outside.
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Nan and Angelica glanced at each other, and said eagerly: "Shelling!" ”
Li Nan didn't know if the attack was aimed at him, although the artillery of this era was all solid bullets, but the power of gunpowder firing was very sufficient, whether it was himself or others, it would be life-threatening to take a shot.
Grabbing the kitten Best on the table with his left hand and Xiao Qingyan with his right arm, Li Nan shouted at Angelica: "Hide in the wine cellar of the hotel!" ”
After sending Xiao Qingyan and the others to the wine cellar and telling them not to move, Li Nan deftly came to the roof of the second floor of this inn and looked at the port where the sound of cannons kept coming.
