Chapter 0180 - As long as you don't eat people, it's fine
"Quick, hurry up and move on! And then what? And then what happened? β
After seeing this strong sailor stop, the people who were listening to it couldn't help but urge.
Just now, they were hearing that the little witch was preparing to fight the undead Skull Sea, and they were listening to it very well, and now they had entered the most exciting part, but who would have thought that this bastard would not say anything?
"And then? And then...... And then it's gone. β
The strong man was stunned for a moment, and began to recall again, but in the end, he still shook his head, and then, there is really nothing to say, what should be said, wonderful, he has just said it, and the rest of them are really nothing to say.
"Gone?! Is it possible to be gone? Isn't it time for you to fight Skull Ponce, or the Witch Lord to cast all kinds of spells and fight against the Sea of Skulls and defeat those evil enemies after a hard battle, right? How could it be like this? β
The crowd was very unhappy about this!
Their group of sailors had just heard the most exciting part, and they wished that they would also go with the team to experience the horror and shock of the Sea of the Undead up close, but now, this bastard actually said no? How can there be such a story? If it weren't for the fact that he was strong, they wouldn't have been able to beat him at their own expense, and they would have punched him all over the face.
"Oh! Come on! Guys"
The strong sailor shook his head with a smile, these people, what else do you want?
"That Ponce, it's just a skeleton! With a witch who can freeze the sea directly, and the great Lord Anne is present, what waves can it stir? Just a fire, and he got rid of him! β
The strong sailor followed Anne's example, grabbed a non-existent fireball out of thin air, and then waved his hand senselessly, and learned the action of throwing the fireball again.
"Although, the evil undead named Ponce did summon many, many skeletons, but in the next moment, when Mistress Anne burned that Ponce, they all fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of dry bones!"
Thinking of those sea of skeletons, the strong sailor also had a little palpitation.
Anyone who faced the seemingly boundless sea of terrifying undead could feel deep despair, and the salvo of the two hundred soldiers they accompanied at that time only wiped out a hundred or so undead, which was completely useless!
If it weren't for the Witch Anne Witch in the back, I'm afraid that those of them would definitely be hacked to death by the undead and become a part of them, right? Can't go to heaven after death?
"That's right!"
"That's ......"
"That's what I said......"
"It seems that there really isn't much to say below......"
Only then did everyone remember the witch's power, and then they were silent for a while, remembering the little witch's performance last night, and couldn't help but nod their heads to each other in acknowledgement, and agreed with the strong man's statement.
"Okay, okay, it's not too early, let's not talk about this, I'm going to be on duty now, I'll see you later, everyone."
Now at this time, it was the turn of the strong man to go to the lookout basket on the mast to be on duty.
He had noticed just now that the people above were shouting loudly and scolding, urging him to hurry up and change shifts!
God is pitiful, he himself does not understand why a sailor as strong as him should be assigned to the mast as a lookout? Those officers, won't they arrange a thinner one? Aren't they afraid that they will crush the mast themselves?
"What are you doing here, you lazy people? Hurry up and get to work! β
Norrington, who had just come up from a routine patrol in the cabin below, shouted angrily when he saw that the sailors were gathered on the deck in twos and threes, and they were actually gathered together to brag and fart.
These sailors who were temporarily recruited by Charlotte are extremely poorly disciplined, they are not as strict as the Royal Navy, and they have to be watched and supervised by someone to do everything, and if they are not careful, they will run away again, if these people are the Royal Navy, they must be a whip!
"It's a bunch of useless scum!"
Norrington shook his head helplessly in anger, if he had this kind of goods in his original British Royal Navy, the whip would have been light, maybe the officer would have been fired a long time ago, right?
ββ¦β¦β
After reprimanding the sailors and letting them return to their respective posts, Norrington began to walk to the railing, and watched the seagulls in the sky for a long time in the face of the sea breeze that was blowing at the high speed of the sailboat.
This time, it's been almost two months since they set sail, right? Fortunately, everything went smoothly, there was almost no loss of ships or people, and at the current pace, if there were no accidents, it was estimated that we would be able to return to Port Royal with a few more days of sailing.
If it weren't for dragging the two Spanish warships behind him, with the speed of the Dreadnought, which had been turned into a magic battleship by a witch, he believed that it would only take two or three days to return to Port Royal!
I don't know, where is Port Royal now, what happened? Governor Swan, are they okay? Also, his fiancΓ©e...... Elizabeth? What happened to her?
"Luckily, it's almost time to get out."
Norrington muttered to himself as he looked at the blue sea in the distance.
After going back this time, it's almost enough for the three-month deadline, right? When the time comes, will he continue to stay and serve the witches? Or just leave?
Norrington still couldn't make up his mind in his heart, with this time, after nearly two months of contact with witches, he had an intuitive understanding of the strength of witches, especially the strength of little Annie.
He felt that it seemed that the Royal Navy of the British Empire wanted to recapture Port Royal almost impossible! In his opinion, not to mention the navy near the Caribbean, even if the entire British Empire exerts its strength and gathers hundreds of warships, it will not be a match for witches.
The little witch threw a frozen magic down, and the entire sea surface was frozen, and she could shoot a pot directly, and she couldn't run!
Or, if the witches burn a battleship with a fireball, and burn it one by one, how many are not enough for people to burn, and this battle is completely impossible to fight......
On top of the high-end combat power, it is now a one-sided trend, as long as it can't balance those witches, then, the British side, but there is no power to compete with it at all, this feeling, it's like a war between gods and mortals, which makes Norrington feel deep despair!
What can I do? By the church? No kidding! Norrington had never seen any supernatural power in the Church, and they would only burn witches and splash holy water? If they could summon one or two winged angels, he wouldn't be so bothered by now.
Never mind! If you want to do this, you should wait until you get back to Port Royal and exchange opinions with Governor Swan before making a decision...... Thinking about it, Norrington exhaled, turned forward, and knocked on the door to the Intrepid's captain's quarters.
"Come in!"
The voice of Annie's maid rang out inside, and Norrington quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
"Uh...... Sorry, but who is she? β
Norrington was stunned when he saw a strange and beautiful character lady standing in the captain's room.
He found that in addition to the three Anne master and servant, Jack? Sparrow and Barsabo were both here, and of course, there was the girl he didn't know standing in the middle of the captain's room.
At this moment, the three of Anne's master and servant were looking around each other curiously, she looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, her face was clear and beautiful, and she was wet and wearing a loose sailor's costume, which looked like the spare clothes of the soldiers on the Dreadnought.
"Excuse me, who is this young lady? You just got it from the sea? β
As the captain of the Intrepid, he didn't receive a report of rescuing anyone, or did that group of unorganized and undisciplined sailors, after saving people, not even notify him, the nominal captain?
Norrington looked at it for a while, confirmed that he hadn't seen this girl on this ship before, and began to frown again and whispered to Jack who was standing aside? Sparrow.
"Aha! Why don't you guess first? β
Jack? Sparrow grinned, revealing the gold teeth in his mouth again, and the attitude was as bad as ever.
This bastard pirate!
Norrington cursed in his heart, and had to turn his head to look at Barbossa, who was standing on the other side of him, hoping that the other party would answer the question he had just asked.
"Mermaid!"
Barbossa glanced at Norrington, slowly spat out three words, and then began to close his eyes impatiently, continuing his fake sleep.
"Impossible! Mermaid...... Isn't there supposed to be a fishtail? And she's now? β
After saying that, Norrington looked carefully under the girl's body, which were loose and split trouser legs, and there were two white and delicate feet standing on the wooden deck of the captain's room.
How could this be a mermaid? She's a living human being!
Another bastard pirate!
These pirate leaders, as they were, had a bad temperament and just asked a question, and one of them made him guess, while the other deceived himself, did they all think that he Norrington was a fool? How unreasonable!
"Humph! I don't know? Anyway, she went on deck, and after a moment out of the water, her fishtail turned into human feet! Do you want to know why? Then ask for yourself! β
Barbossa snorted, muttered unhappily, and then turned his head to the other side at the same time.
"It's amazing...... Look at her, after leaving the sea, the fishtail turned into our human feet! β
The active twin sister, this Christina, was squatting at the feet of the mermaid at this time, and she reached out curiously and pinched the mermaid's feet that had become human, as if she wanted to compare the differences between the other party and herself.
"Ahh
The mermaid didn't look very comfortable with human feet standing, so when she was pinched by Christina, she was so shocked that she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Cecilia on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Lina! Don't move! β
Cecilia glared at her sister in disgust, how could she do this? It's really rude to do it directly!
"What a magical transfiguration! What a strong affinity for the water element! β
Little Anne followed Christina's example and stepped forward to pinch the mermaid's arm and buttocks.
When she circled around the mermaid twice, little Anne found that this magical species called mermaid turned out to be a natural aquatic affinity? Moreover, there is still a faint innate magic in the body? At least at the level of an apprentice or above?
And it is these magic powers that make their bodies naturally transform into human beings after leaving the sea for a period of time, and the fishtails will also become human feet? Then, when it comes into contact with the sea again, it changes back to the appearance of a mermaid?
It's like being born with constant Transfiguration!
Moreover, to little Annie's surprise: due to their innate weak magic power, if they rely on meditation to enhance their magic reserves, and then practice energy shaping spells, especially water spells, they can quickly become a lot of water magicians! And at least they are all at the level of a junior mage or above!
In general, they are mermaids, much better than half-witted witches like Cecilia and Christina!
The two twin sisters had followed her for so long that they had barely cultivated a trace of their own magic, and their usual spellcasting was all by providing magic and casting spells with bracelets on their hands, barely being an unqualified mage apprentice.
"Alright, now tell me, your name, the magical mermaid?"
After completing the observation and thoroughly understanding the characteristics and physiology of the mermaid, Anne turned around and sat down on her captain's table, and just shook her feet and stared at the trembling mermaid in front of her.
No matter how magical the mermaid is, it is just a mermaid, and little Anne doesn't pay much attention to it. It's not that little Anne brags, she has seen a lot of strange species.
"Selena, my master, you can call me Selena."
The mermaid glanced up at Anne and quickly lowered her head, she was a little afraid of this little witch of the human race.
This witch who looks like a little human girl, when she casts the spell, the way she destroys the world and freezes the sea is still vivid, and when she thinks about it, it can make her heart tremble, and according to it, she can't give birth to the slightest sense of resistance.
"Selena? Well, it doesn't matter what it's called, I just want to know, why are you guys attacking us? Do you really eat people? Is human flesh really that good? β
Thinking of the rumors of mermaids eating people, little Anne felt a little disgusting!
If they don't get rid of this bad habit in the future, Anne thinks that she must not be their master! Eating people or something, cruelty or not cruelty doesn't say anything about it, it just makes her feel disgusting.
"Nope! Dear master, our mermaids never eat people! β
Selena lowered her head and quickly replied, these are just false rumors by people who don't know about their mermaids, they are intelligent creatures, how can they eat people?
"We catch sailors, in fact, just to reproduce the next generation, since we moved to that place called Bailang Bay, the population has become smaller and smaller, so, whenever we find an opportunity, we will take some men."
In fact, there is no way to do this, after all, the mermaid clan is important to reproduce, so they can only capture human males, which is much better than them being captured by humans!
"Huh? You really don't eat people? β
Originally for the sake of reproduction? Although little Anne didn't understand it a little, she nodded slightly after hearing that it wasn't a cannibal.
As long as she doesn't eat people, otherwise, little Anne will never let this evil creature of cannibalism follow her, she is a good girl herself, so she will not mix with the guys she thinks are villains!
"Wait! I have a question now. β
Jack, who has been watching the show? Sparrow, he pinched the orchid finger and walked up, staring at the fish-man for a moment before asking curiously:
"Since you don't eat people, then why, none of the sailors you have caught before will come back alive? Where are all of them now? β
At the beginning, Jack? When Sparrow was the captain of the Black Pearl, there were sailors who disappeared after being attacked near Bailang Bay, and there were quite a few of them!
Coupled with the other ships and those who were attacked in the original Bailang Bay, if you add it up, that is definitely a lot! If they don't eat people, then why hasn't he heard that any surviving sailors can come back?
He ...... They can't adapt to the deep-sea environment, and although we give them the ability to breathe underwater, they often don't live more than a month before they die due to various problems......"
Selena quietly glanced at little Annie sitting on the table, and then quickly lowered her head.
She was afraid that the new owner would blame them for the mermaid, after all, these things, strictly speaking, could be regarded as the killing of people by their mermaid clan.
"Well, I don't have any doubts now!"
Jack? Sparrow froze for a moment, then quickly nodded and twisted his ass back to the side.
Think about it.
If it is a normal human being, even if he has the ability to breathe underwater, I am afraid that if he goes to the deep sea, none of them will be able to live for a long time, right?
Not to mention food problems, environmental problems, sea pressure, etc., Sparrow just thought: a sturdy male sailor, in the deep sea, and a group of stunning female mermaids around him, ready to forcibly pop or something, just thinking about it, can make him shudder......
This picture is terrifying...... I guess whoever changes will definitely not live long, right? Even if there is no mermaid watching from the sidelines, the deep-sea environment alone can kill a person in ten days and half a month!
People's mermaids have a fish word, they can live in the water for a long time, and they humans, but they have nothing to do with fish, if they soak in the water for a long time, regardless of whether it is seawater or fresh water, they will burp, this is certain!
Obviously, what does that mean?
God is fair! While giving you Yanfu, it also took your life! Although, Jack? Sparrow, the pirate captain, didn't believe much in God either, and now he was a witch's subordinate, or at least a hired one.
"In that case, then you can follow us back to Port Royal, and Sister Charlotte will arrange for you."
After listening, Anne nodded as if she didn't understand, since it wasn't a cannibal, then there was no problem.
As for how those who were captured by the mermaids died, little Anne didn't care about them!
Who knows who they are? Isn't it normal for the world to be so chaotic, dead people or something? When she was on that earth in New York, when the aliens came, weren't there a lot of dead earthlings?
Even if it's their Valoran continent, isn't it still fighting all day long? Didn't her father and mother have to move to the Voodoo Land to avoid dying in war?
Little Ancole remembered what her mother, the Shadow Witch Amoline, had said to her: Annie, you have to remember that as a spellcaster, we never take the lives of innocent people lightly, and it is a very evil act to deprive others of their lives at will! But for the sake of survival, or for those who offend, we never show mercy!
Since these mermaids are now catching people for the sake of reproduction, then little Anne doesn't plan to care about them anymore, isn't it just catching some people, and they can only blame them for being too weak when they die.
In the past, she still remembered that in New York, when little Anne watched the kind of TV in the animal world, those rabbits on the prairie, flowers and horses, were not often eaten by lions? Who made them so weak and didn't hide a little better? Even if the lions don't eat them, if Anne sees them, she wants to eat them herself! Hum!
