Chapter 179: Pirate's Curse 2 (Part I)

"The pirates thought they had used their clipper advantage to get rid of the British fleet, and although they knew that they would become wanted criminals of the British Empire for the rest of their lives, they did not hesitate, because as pirates, the British Empire had already prepared a gallows for itself." Kerry said slowly, flipping through the parchment.

"Cursed...... Did the curse work? Chen Badai didn't know why, but he never forgot about this matter.

Although Chen Badai is greedy for money, but the Chinese regard retribution and the dead as the greatest, although this is unscientific, there are many tomb robbers from ancient times to the present, but most tomb robbers have a tragic end, because taking away the dead people's things will be unlucky.

When Chen Badai saw the treasure, it was called lard, but when he heard the curse of the pirate from Kerry's mouth, the little uneasiness in his heart spread, although he tried his best to persuade himself, it was just a kind of helplessness of the pirate, if he could get rid of the opponent, why bother with the curse of the ghosts and gods? But this still can't suppress the uneasiness in my heart.

"Don't worry...... The Invincible Raven planned to resupply Level and then disappear into the Seven Seas, they had so many bases that he was confident that he could evade the British fleet, huh...... Captain Emenehildo had his own selfish intentions, and he let the fastest Flyer scout ahead to ensure the safety of the course, but the British fleet, which had been thrown behind, did not know how to run faster than them...... An ambush was set up on Leywell's route...... "Kerry said.

"They were ambushed? Isn't it said that British ships were slower? Chen Badai was surprised.

"Yes, Captain Emenehildo was also surprised, the hapless Flying was ambushed, and when they saw the smoke on the sea, the Flying was surrounded by four British cruisers, the mainmast had been broken and was dragged on the sea, and a cruiser was approaching, ready for a broadside battle, in short, the fate of the Flying was decided, and Captain Emenehildo thought that they were no match for the British fleet, and those powerful 24-pounder and 32-pounder cannons could tear themselves apart at any moment like the Flying Fleet, so he chose to turn the rudder, and before the British adjusted their course to chase him, he chose to slip away from the edge of the battlefield......"

"The Invincible Raven thinks that what they did is not wrong, in fact, all the pirates think that they are not wrong, because they simply cannot confront the British fleet head-on, but they have two things that they have not figured out, how did those British fleets run ahead of them, and how did the fastest Flying Flyer be surrounded by the British fleet? Captain Emenehildo described it as mysterious, but it wasn't long before something even more mysterious happened......"

"The curse has been fulfilled?" Chen Badai felt his heart beat faster and asked.

"So to speak, but after this curse, there is another curse...... "Kerry imagined how terrifying it would be for something like this to happen on that pitch-black sea.

"A week later, the Invincible Raven was sailing on the calm sea, with the Emperor to his left, and Aemond's Lucky Boy was in charge of reconnaissance a nautical mile to the right, and 800 yards behind the Invincible Raven was the Fearless, but when the Invincible Raven's lookout post saw the lights on the left, they sent a light signal to the Emperor to pay attention to the port side, but the Emperor's answer made Captain Emenehildo very strange, and the Emperor said that there was nothing on the port side, By this time, Captain Emenehildo had seen the lights himself...... In the second half of the night, Captain Emenehildo's strangeness turned to concern, for he saw the lights approaching, about five or six nautical miles from him, which seemed to be shrouded in a mist, but the Emperor replied that none of them saw any movement on the port side...... So he decided to gather the fleet......"

"Ghost ship?" Chen Badai said that in the legend of pirates, there are many ghost ship stories, but this ghost ship does not seem to have any malicious intentions, he is just joking with this captain named Edoduo...... However, since he had already seen everything, how could the Great Emperor on the left not see anything?

"Well, perhaps, the weather was recorded here, it was clear, the North Star for navigation was very clear, the sea around was extremely calm, the wind was blowing from the southwest at six to eight knots, the Invincible Raven was not full sails, it was sailing eastward at a speed of six knots, and all the ship communications were usual, and the light signals could be seen from a long distance...... Captain Emenehildo gathered up the fleet, determined to turn to the left rudder to see what was going on, and ordered the gunners of the Invincible Raven to prepare for battle, but at this time, the Great Emperor and other people on board still did not know what was going on, and the Great sent out a light and asked a little unceremoniously: El, are you crazy? ”

"They found nothing, no mist, no boats, nothing, and after a night of tossing, the sea was still so calm, the wind was strengthening, the Invincible Raven increased the speed to 11 knots, adjusted the course a little, and headed northeast, Captain Emenehildo recorded his concerns: If it was a damn ghost ship, I would teach it a lesson with cannons."

"Since it's a ghost, how can he teach it with a cannon?" Chen Badai asked.

"Of course, there is another possibility, and that is the scout ships of the British fleet, but although the scout ships are fast, it is strange that they are still invisible when they are close." Crossell, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"And then, don't interrupt the hoisting dog." Chen Badai was anxious to know the result.

"After nightfall, the Invincible Raven saw the lights again, and it was still about five or six nautical miles, only then it appeared in the right rear, and seemed to be following the pirate ship, and disappeared again at daybreak, and so on for a week, the nightly torment drove Captain Emenehildo mad, and he decided that if it reappeared tonight, he would catch up and blast it with his own 18-pounder gun......"

"The night's chase continued into the second half of the night, and the Invincible Raven unwittingly entered the fog during the chase, but he was about to catch up with the ship, which the boatswain thought looked a lot like the Flying."

"Isn't the Flying already ...... by the British fleet Is that one? Chen Badai wiped his hand on his neck and said.

"Yes, in the thick fog, the Invincible Raven lost contact with the other three pirate ships, Captain Emenehildo felt that the situation was not good, and ordered the rudder to sail out of the thick fog, at this time the ghost ship sounded the light signal, it was the oath of the pirates of the seven seas: born on land, buried in the ocean, sailed into the vast sea, and the rich brothers, if there is a betrayal, the storm will take away the soul of the betrayer, sink to the cold bottom of the sea and drift forever."

"The poems are well written...... Not...... Could it be that this is also a pirate ship? Chen Badai's heartbeat doubled again, and he spoke, suppressing the fear in his heart.

"I don't know...... In short, after the light signal kept repeating, Captain Emenehildo was frightened, and he ordered the rudder to turn, but the ship followed like a ghost, and two hours later the Invincible Raven still did not sail out of the thick fog, but the storm came, and the ship made a terrible strange sound, and even in the midst of the storm, Captain Emenehildo could hear the cracking of the deck and the creaking of the keel, and then the ship disappeared before everyone's eyes, sinking to the cold bottom of the sea...... But the Invincible Raven was lucky enough to survive the storm and not even seriously damaged...... Kerry said.

"That's it?" Chen Badai felt that he was scared of himself, but after thinking about it, if the Invincible Crow was destroyed in the storm, then the current book would not have appeared.

"The later records are a bit boring, the Invincible Raven sailed at sea for more than half a month, looking for base supplies, this half a month, he has no contact with other ships, maybe those pirate ships have been torn apart by the storm and sunk to the bottom of the sea, Captain Emenehildo took out the hidden skull crown to watch alone, he felt that he could keep the treasure for himself, but the British fleet attacked their base, the base was completely destroyed, the Invincible Raven was lucky to escape again, two months later, The remaining three pirate ships found the Invincible Raven...... They again formed the flotilla. ”

"How did you find it?" Chen Badai thought it was very strange, there was no telephone or satellite at that time, and looking for a ship in the vast sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"There is no record in the captain's logbook, but they met again, and Aemond of the Lucky Boy told Emenehildo that they had also been attacked by the British fleet, and that they had escaped with the advantage of the clippers, so the captains of the four ships decided to meet and they made an important decision...... Leave the Seven Seas and sail into the wider ocean to evade the British fleet...... They felt that it would only take two years for the British to lose patience...... But he was wrong, and the English followed them into the Pacific like bloodhounds, well...... There were also several battles here...... The Intrepid was first torn apart by the British fleet, and no one survived, the Great was badly damaged in a storm, the surviving crew was transferred to the Invincible Raven and the Lucky Boy, all the pirates were on the verge of collapse and fled endlessly, there were several riots on the pirate ship, and in order to maintain discipline, Captain Amenehildo tied the head of the riot to a cannonball and sank into the sea, rumors spread on the ship that the skeleton crown was the source of the curse and should be thrown into the sea...... But Captain Emenehildo refused, and he locked the crown in a place known only to himself......"

"In the end, they decided to hide the treasure, because they never understood how the British fleet could follow so closely that they were so depressed that they could breathless, but Captain Emenehildo did not trust Franco of the Emperor, and he executed Franco in a pirate manner, but his crew remained on the Invincible Raven and the Lucky Boy, and Franco cursed Amenehildo for betrayal when he was tied to a cannonball and pushed into the sea, and the pirates who died because of him cursed him in his ear every night, He couldn't sleep, every time he saw the sea, he saw the faces of those pirates, he had to live in fear all his life, cursed him to hold the skull crown alone, and die slowly in fear and loneliness......" Kerry quickly flipped through the parchment, there were some records in it that he thought it would be better not to read them, Captain Emenehildo was slowly sinking into despair and fear, he recorded everything in the parchment, but greed made him unwilling to give up the treasure in his hands, and the skull crown had a charming magic, In many records, he had to look at the blood skeleton every night to forget about the pirates and the curse.
