Chapter 0182: Burning Witches Is Not Unreasonable
Little Anne's fleet of treasures had been at sea for more than two days, and she had been on the voyage for so long, that she did not know what was going on at Port Royal, and she did not want to know what was going on.
For Anne, she is just a passerby in this world, and it remains to be seen whether she will come back here in the future. So, no matter what Charlotte and her family tossed this world into, how many people they killed, and how much land they occupied, what did it matter to her?
It's just that he taught the other party some magic, gave him a magic book, and then let Xiao Xiong borrow a little bit of power, and now something is wrong, do you want to blame her?
At this time, the exploration, development or plundering of the New World by European countries was in full swing.
And in the Caribbean Sea, the routes here are even more lively!
The large and small ships of merchants, pirates and gold diggers can be found almost everywhere in this part of the Caribbean, and other ships can often be seen from a distance after entering important shipping routes.
Little Annie's fleet, on the way back, will also encounter merchant ships or warships of certain countries from time to time, although the other party is very curious about this fleet composed of a full sail warship towing two warships that do not sail, and can sail at a high speed of nearly ten knots, but they don't dare to meddle in things, but they just see it from a distance and immediately bypass it, of course, this also includes those suspected pirate ships that do not fly any flags from time to time.
During these few days of sailing, no ship dared to provoke or approach the strange fleet of these three warships at will, and as long as they were not fools, no one dared to touch this warship with hard nails.
In the case of pirates, they usually rob ordinary merchant ships at most, and even, when they encounter armed merchant ships, they will be deflated if they are not careful!
Because, on the armed merchant ship, there are generally about ten to twenty guns, and if you meet some crazy merchant captains, they are more likely to stuff thirty or forty cannons into the armed merchant ship, and the idea in the minds of those madmen is: the weight of the cannon and the cannonball must be consistent with the weight of the commodity!
In the Caribbean Sea, there are many jokes, saying that a group of pirates who are not long-eyed tried to rob an armed merchant ship with two slightly smaller clippers, but as a result, when the two pirate ships approached and were about to jump into the gang, the captain of the merchant ship gave an order to open the gun door, so that this big merchant ship that looked ordinary on the outside suddenly turned into a quasi-warship with nearly forty guns, which shocked the pirates into the sky, and finally was beaten by a merchant ship for an afternoon, if it wasn't for running fast, it would almost be sunk!
"Hah! My dear...... Jack? Captain Sparrow? I've noticed an interesting situation where you've been, very, very anxious lately? ”
Barbossa seeing Jack? Sparrow used his binoculars to look at the sea around him from time to time, as if he was on guard against something, so he walked behind the other man's back and began to joke in a foul tone.
This behavior of the other party is very abnormal in Barbossa's opinion!
You know, Jack? Spyro wasn't the captain of the Dreadnought, so what was it about him to observe his surroundings so dutifully? Moreover, when he was the captain of the Black Pearl, he didn't work so hard, did he?
Besides, observing the surrounding sea conditions, that is the duty of those lookouts on the mast, what kind of mind does he Sparrow do? Isn't he supposed to drink in the cabin or in the sailor's room in general?
"Scared? Oh...... It's you bastard, Barbossa! ”
Jack? Sparrow is startled by the sound behind him and nearly drops his binoculars overboard.
When he turned around and saw Barbossa standing behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away his binoculars carefully, and forced himself to speak calmly.
"Anxious? What do I have to be anxious about? You see? No! Not at all! You must be reading it wrong, that's it! ”
Jack? Sparrow replied with a pretended ease, but his slightly nervous movements betrayed him deeply, and usually, he definitely didn't look like this.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Barbossa staring at Jack? Sparrow looked at it for a moment before grinning.
"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be in debt to some people? Now, it's almost time to pay it back, right? ”
Barbossa was furious when he remembered that Jax Sparrow had tempted the little witch to trouble the Kraken.
"Nope! There is no such thing at all, I Jack Sparrow has no debt to anyone! It's you! You still owe me a Black Pearl! Be careful, traitor! ”
Jack? Sparrow looked at Barbossa with an unkind look.
"So, then, do you need me to remind you?"
Barbossa didn't care about Jack? Sparrow's threat, pretending to think for a moment, then said in an exaggerated tone:
"Hah! I remember, what's his name? That's right! What to wear? Oh! David? Jones! ”
About this Dave? The entanglement between Jones and Jakes Sparrow, he knows it very well, how can he mess with each other in just a few words?
"Please don't say that name again!"
As soon as you hear the name, Jack? Sparrow's face was calm, and he immediately collapsed, and looked at Barbossa in a half-pleading tone.
"Please! Never, don't mention that name in front of me! ”
Jack? Sparrow was really a little scared, he really didn't want to serve on that ghost ship for a hundred years! Not to mention a hundred years, not even a year!
"Oh! Come on, Jack! You can't blindly escape, I advise you, it's better to honestly go and serve a hundred years on the flying Dutchman, and then, when you are released from prison, I will definitely return the Black Pearl to you! Hahaha! ”
After saying that, Barbossa laughed to himself, and finally did not forget to add.
"If I'm still alive by then, I'll definitely give it back to you!"
Making the other person uncomfortable is Barbossa's greatest joy.
After sailing for so long, he was Jack everywhere? Sparrow suppressed, so now it was his pleasure to be able to make the other party unhappy, and it didn't get any better than that.
"You !!"
Jack? Sparrow was so angry that he just wanted to smoke the guy and fight this bastard, but now, the other party is not immortal, and there is no need to be afraid of him!
But, in his grip on the hilt of his sword, Jack? Sparrow was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly became relaxed.
"Ahh I suddenly remembered, or you are right, I don't need to run away from anything at all, just let them come, I'm not afraid of them at all now! ”
After seeing three witches on the bridge who were teasing seagulls with food, Jack? Sparrow's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly calmed down.
"Really? I don't think you're as relaxed as you are on your face. ”
Barbossa said with some suspicion, he felt that this bastard Sparrow must be playing some kind of machime again, and he had to be careful himself, and don't follow his way.
"Nope! Barbossa, you're wrong! I'm really not worried at all now! ”
By the way, Jack? Sparrow leaned over to Barbossa's ear and whispered:
"Because, I suddenly remembered that I am different from you, and I have a powerful witch as a backer now!"
I've told the little witch about the sea monster before, but now, it's coming, Jack? Sparrow was still a little uneasy.
He was worried that if the little witch couldn't defeat the giant sea monster, wouldn't he be doomed to die? As soon as he thought of serving on the flying Dutchman for a hundred years, he felt a wave of unwillingness.
"Jack? Sparrow! You have indeed fallen! ”
Barbossa looked at Jack with a shocked expression? Sparrow, he didn't expect that this shameless bastard would still have this idea, it turned out that he was talking to the witch about the sea monster at that time, and that's what it was for?
"Now, you want to rely on a little girl to escape your debts? You're a shame on me, who is also a pirate! ”
Barbossa vs. Jack? Who does Sparrow want to rely on to get rid of Davy? Jones's debt collection didn't care much.
All he cared about was that he was still in the same boat as the other party, and he didn't want to get out of the way until he returned to Port Royal and was free, and he didn't want to put himself in danger because of a bastard.
"Nope! You are wrong again, and I want to state one thing now. ”
Jack? Once Sparrow figured it out, he pinched his signature orchid finger and walked over to the guardrail.
"You know, I, great Jack? Captain Sparrow! Now that I'm employed by a witch, isn't it natural for an employer to help the clerks with a little trouble? ”
When it comes to sophistry, Captain Sparrow has never been afraid of anyone, not even Barbossa, his old enemy.
"Jack! Do you think those witches are going to be David? Rivals of Jones and the Flying Dutchman? ”
Barbossa shook his head and continued in an angry tone.
"You're going to kill everyone on board!"
If his Black Pearl was next to him, Barbossa would have left Yang Fan a long time ago, and he definitely didn't want to be with this Jack? Sparrow went on this trip to the troubled waters, and it was a game of death!
It's a pity that he doesn't have much choice now, unless he is willing to abandon the Black Pearl and get a dinghy to leave this fleet now.
"Why not? You must have seen their strength, right? I have a lot of faith in the witch! ”
Jack? Sparrow sneered and retorted that it was Barbossa who was unhappy with himself just now, and now, it was his turn to be unhappy with the other party.
"If you still have the slightest conscience, I think you'd better leave this fleet in a dinghy and save yourself the time of killing countless innocent people! Don't you forget, David? Jones doesn't just have the Flying Dutchman, he also has the sea monster, the Great Octopus Sea Monster! ”
Barbossa began to roar angrily, and the spat stars splashed Jack? Sparrow faced.
"Huh? Conscience? That's one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard today! ”
Jack? Sparrow pushed Barbossa and his bearded face away.
"A traitor who shamefully betrayed his own captain, and now, what conscience does he say to me? Don't you think that's unconvincing? ”
When I remembered that when I was going to find the treasure, I was betrayed and lost my beloved Black Pearl immediately after being taken out of the treasure by this bastard, Jack? Sparrow felt a burst of gnashing hatred.
If it weren't for this bastard, how could those sailors have united in a rebellion? If it weren't for him, how could he have been thrown on a desert island and almost died?
"Sea monsters? Did I hear me right? You guys were talking about sea monsters? Where the hell is it? ”
Anne leaned directly on the railing and looked out of the boat, trying to find what the other party was talking about as a sea monster.
Little Anne had been fiddling with the rudder and playing with the seagulls on the bridge, and when she was bored and about to come down to her captain's room, she overheard the conversation between the two people on the edge of the boat on the deck below, and it seemed that they were talking about some sea monster.
So, she hurried to Jack and Barbossa, and leaned over the guardrail to look out of the boat, but unfortunately, there was nothing on the sea.
"What about the sea monster? Where is it? Where are the sea monsters?! ”
Seeing the little witch so excited, Barbossa gasped.
Looking at the other party's excited appearance, he felt that it seemed that this witch, she was really not afraid of sea monsters? Could it be that it really made Jack? Sparrow escaped the catastrophe?
You have to think of a way!
He just wanted to step forward and sow discord and talk about Jack? Sparrow's bad words, it's better to get the witch to agree with his idea: drop this Jack? Sparrow!
It's a pity that Barbossa is still a step slower, and he sees, Jack? Sparrow moved up to the little witch at a faster pace, and began to smile flatteringly.
"The most powerful witch, the great goddess of flames, honorable Anne? Ms. Hasta! ”
Jack? Sparrow leaned over to little Anne's side as much as he could, and after performing a nondescript courtesy, he looked at each other with a determined expression.
"I've found out that we may have been targeted by a group of evil creatures who are not good at it!"
That David? Aren't Jones and his monsters evil creatures? And, of course, his big octopus! Therefore, Jack Sparrow's statement is not wrong.
"He is talking nonsense! He ......"
Barbossa just wanted to step forward to refute and let the witch recognize this Sparrow's shameless face, but unfortunately, he was immediately taken by Jack? Sparrow pushed his back to the side, blocking little Annie's view of him.
"Moreover, in the hands of those evil creatures, there is a huge sea monster!"
Since the little witch was so fond of troubles with the sea monster, of course he Sparrow would try his best to satisfy it, and he believed that the sea monster would definitely come.
"Is there really a sea monster? Don't lie to me! ”
Little Anne looked at Jax Sparrow with some suspicion, a few days ago, he had said that a sea monster was coming, but until now, there was nothing.
She just likes these strange things or monsters, the stronger the other party, the better, the more ferocious the better!
"Huge! That's the size of several ships combined! ”
Jack? Sparrow gestured exaggeratedly with both hands, that big octopus can easily swallow a galleon, even if it is the Dreadnought, I'm afraid it will be dragged to the bottom of the sea by the other party, right?
If there are no witches on this ship, that's for sure.
"Is it really that big? That's great! ”
Anne clenched her fists and swung them vigorously.
Is there really such a big sea monster? That's great! If it looks pleasing to the eye, be sure to grab it and turn it into your own toy!
Well...... Like Tiebs the Bear?
"By the way, there's one more thing! They're monsters, they seem to want to catch me! So...... As your right-hand man, I wonder if I can seek a little refuge from you. ”
Jack? Sparrow once again tried hard to block Barbossa, who wanted to come out and say something, to prevent the other party from having a chance to speak.
"It's easy, don't worry! I'm not going to let them catch you, huh! ”
Anne raised her fist in reassurance.
She went to sea to play this time, and the pirate she hired seemed to help a lot, so she decided to help him out.
"Aha! Thank you so much for your generosity! ”
Jack? Sparrow took off his captain's hat this time and gave Anne a heartfelt salute.
Although, it also knows that its behavior is a bit despicable, but now, relying on the witch, it is about to escape the fate of being captured and used as a coolie, and this is enough.
"Nope! Witch, don't let this shameless villain fool fool! ”
Barbossa finally pushed away Jack in front of him? Sparrow, snatching up to Anne, began to speak hurriedly.
"Yes, there's a group of evil creatures chasing him, but they just want to catch this Jack Sparrow! You don't have to shelter him at all, he's a shameless bastard! He wants to take advantage of you! ”
Now, it was Barbossa's turn to block Jack Sparrow, who was still trying to say something.
"That's right...... So, do they really have sea monsters? ”
Anne bit her finger and thought about it, she decided, don't care about these for the time being, she just wants to know now, is there that kind of sea monster under the other party's hands?
"Sea monsters? This...... It was true that there was a huge and evil sea monster, but ......"
Barbossa tried to continue, but was interrupted by a wave from Anne.
"Are there really sea monsters? That's the question! ”
Anne happily walked up to the bridge, and then shouted to the sailor:
"Lower half the sails! We're going to have to go a little slower, maybe the sea monster will catch up with us! I want to see what it looks like! Hurry up! What are you still doing? Hurry up and give orders? ”
Anne was in no hurry to go back now that she had found out about the amusement, anyway, it seemed to her that it had been out for so long, and it didn't matter if it was a little late.
"Huh? Be! Yes, sir! My lord! ”
When the boatswain heard the little witch say that he wanted to reduce the speed of the ship to see some sea monster, he was frightened for a while, and then he reacted and began to turn and give orders to the sailors.
Since the witch wants to see some sea monster, and she herself is so powerful, then let her be.
"Hurry, hurry! Half of the sails are stowed! We're going to start slowing down! ”
Below the bridge, after the officers on deck had repeated the order, the sailors began to climb the masts and get busy, needing to put away their normal sails and sail at a slower speed.
"Aha! It's a nice day. ”
Jack? Sparrow gave Barbossa a smug look, and he was glad to see the other man deflated.
"Perhaps, we have something good to add tonight? What do you think, how about grilling octopus? Moreover, it's still a big octopus! ”
Jack? Sparrow stretched out ten fingers and grimaced an octopus-like face across from Barbossa, making him gasp.
"Humph! Just keep getting complacent, I have a way to make trouble for you! ”
After snorting coldly, Barbossa thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and took out a notebook from his pocket.
"What's that? Show me? ”
After seeing Barbossa take out a notebook, Jack Sparrow was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to reach out and grab it to take a look, but was dodged by the other party.
"I think it's better for her to find something interesting and less dangerous than for you to confuse the little witch into finding a sea monster with you, what do you think?"
Barbosa raised a notebook studded with red gems in his hand, something he had never understood and could not understand.
Originally, he wanted to keep this thing forever, but now that he needed something of value to distract the little witch, there was nothing more suitable than this.
So, after teasing Jack Sparrow for a while, without telling the other party what it was, he sneered and walked towards the little witch on the bridge.
"Hey! Barbossa? What the hell is that thing you've got in your hand? ”
Jack Sparrow hurriedly ran forward, on the one hand, he wanted to know what the other party's notebook was, and on the other hand, he wanted to stop the other party from letting this bastard ruin his own big business.
"Wait, why don't we talk about it?"
Jack Sparrow, who always feels that things are not simple, is a little uneasy, she always feels that the things in the other party's hands are not simple.
Therefore, he hurriedly stopped in front of Barbossa, and while he tried his best to accompany the smiling face, he stopped the other behind him, as if he wanted to try to prevent the other from approaching the little witch.
"Get out of the way!"
After brutally pushing Jack Sparrow away, Barbossa walked up to little Anne with a smiling face.
"Great Witch, I don't think there's anything fun about the sea monster, so let's turn around now and easily find an artifact, right?"
With that, Barbossa respectfully handed over the notebook encrusted with red gems with both hands.
Originally, he was very reluctant to do this, even if he didn't understand it by research, he wanted to leave it to his descendants as an heirloom or something in the future, but now he can't take care of it so much, his descendant's mother, he doesn't know where it is, he has just recovered his human body not long ago, this matter is not in a hurry.
"Artifact? Really? ”
Little Anne took the other party's notebook with a suspicious look on her face, and began to look through it with a frown.
Artifact or something, of course Anne likes it!
However, she didn't think that in this world with low magic elements, there would be any valuable artifacts, this bearded man, shouldn't he just take a magic item to fool himself? With their superficial magical knowledge, would they know what kind of artifact is and what kind of mere enchanted item is?
"Witch Lord! Am I Hector? Barbossa swears to the sea that what I say is true! ”
In order to cause chaos for Jaxperio, Barbossa also gave up, not only taking out the heirloom-like artifact to find the guide, but also swearing to the sea curse.
"This is an artifact! According to legend, it was supposed to be the trident of Poseidon, the fallen god of the sea, at the time of Ragnarok! With it, you have the power to rule the entire ocean! The one who holds it and will use it correctly will completely rule the entire world's oceans! ”
Barbossa believed that the little witch would be able to use such magical objects, provided that she could find the trident.
"It is said that as long as you have it, even the powerful goddess of the sea will have to bow her knees to it!"
This kind of artifact that sounds scared to death, Barbossa said that it is impossible not to blush!
However, after all these years of possessing it, Barbossa still has no clue, the strange star map on it, and the code words like riddles and verses, he really can't understand it! So, in the face of such a chicken rib, he can only endure the pain and contribute to the witch, and it is good to add a little mess to that bastard of Sparrow.
"Trident !!"
Hearing this, Jack Sparrow gasped.
He'd heard a lot of legends about it, but of course, it was just a legend, and he didn't think there really was such a thing as a magical thing that could rule the entire ocean.
But he never thought that now, this Barbossa would be able to come up with such a thing? Look at the little witch's quick look, it seems to be really reliable? It can't be true, right? If it's true, the Babossa bastard will contribute?
This is very unreasonable!
"Respect the witch, this book must be fake! He's cheating on you, and I'm sure he definitely wouldn't mean that well! ”
Jack Sparrow hurriedly stepped forward and said bad things about the other party, no matter what, whether it was true or not, he had to make trouble for Barbossa, and he couldn't spoil his own affairs.
Syllable! With a bang, little Anne slammed the notebook shut.
"Boatswain! Command, full sails, southeast, full speed ahead! We're going to find an artifact! ”
Little Anne glanced at Jax Sparrow angrily, whether it was true or not, couldn't she tell it?
Moreover, if it is true or false, you can find out if you go to the place where the treasure is buried? As long as it is true, then the trident must be buried under the bottom of the sea at that place, and then go to the sea to take a look?
"Huh? Yes, obey ......"
I had just put away the sails, I had just slowed down, and now I was going full speed again? This kind of little witch who changes her orders is really difficult to serve!
In desperation, the boatswain agreed and did the grumbling sailors again, climb the mast, and lower the sails that had just been put away again, so that the ship could run at full speed.
"That...... Witch, don't you need to wait until the evening to compare the star map to determine the location of the artifact? ”
Barbossa knew that the burial location of the artifact seemed to be related to the location of the stars in the sky, and then, that gem seemed to be the key to breaking the game, but he had no idea what to do.
"Huh? Still waiting to see the stars at night? Where does it take so much trouble? ”
Little Anne looked at this uneducated pirate leader angrily, but for the sake of the other party's contribution of such a good thing, she decided that it would be better to explain it to him.
"Let me tell you, no matter how complicated and mysterious it is, in fact, one thing will never change!"
Little Anne held up the notebook encrusted with rubies in her hand.
"What won't change?"
Neither Barbossa nor Jack Sparrow knew what the witch was trying to say.
"Of course, it's where the treasure is buried!"
"Anyway, the location will not change, then, as long as you deduce the distribution of the stars in more than ten years according to the above prompts, of course, you can know the specific location where the artifact is buried!"
"As for the distribution of the stars, I saw it the other night, and now I can extrapolate a little, it's quite simple."
Such a simple question to ask?
Anne looked at the two pirate leaders with disdain, such a simple question to ask? Moreover, the content of this book is too superficial, and there is no technical anything at all, even a prisoner who has a little study of the stars can crack it, how can it be difficult for little Anne herself?
If Anne were to write the secret words of the buried treasure herself, she would definitely use magic patterns, inscriptions, and magic traps to make a protective shell, and the contents would be disguised in ancient magical language, special magical knowledge, and some kind of obscure code, and finally, add a magic device to blow up all the bastards who can't understand the secret language and mess around!
"Push...... Extrapolate the distribution of stars more than a decade later? ”
Or do you infer from the stars you saw a few days ago?
Pretty simple?
Barbossa and Jack Sparrow have been petrified......
Sure enough, witches are not easy to cultivate, and the reason why this little witch is so powerful is not unreasonable! Let's see, she was able to deduce the distribution of the stars more than ten years later based on the stars she had seen a few days ago? Can you accurately deduce where the artifact was buried?
This...... Is this still something that ordinary people can do?
What are you still looking at us with that contempt?
We know we're stupid, but don't compare yourself to us like that, right?
Jakes Pyro was better, just slightly shocked by the witch's horror, he was used to it anyway. And Barbossa has received almost 10,000 mental crits, you know, he has been studying this notebook for several years...... In the end, it can't withstand a few rough glances from a little witch?
Is there really that big a gap between them mortals and real witches?
Sure enough...... It is not unreasonable for the church to burn witches...... If you don't burn them, where will there be a way for mortals to live?
