Chapter 141: A New Beginning

"Huh?! That, that...... It's your boat parked over there?! Anne's jaw dropped to the ground in surprise, "Did you really find the Kidd treasure?" But that's not right, even if you have money, you can't buy a navy warship. ”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I have time, and now, let's talk about the results of my previous ask you to recruit gunners."

…………

Although the space on the Jackdaw is not small, Zhang Heng does not plan to recruit too many people when he goes to sea for the first time, including Annie, he now only has a core team of eighteen people, Zhang Heng plans to recruit fifteen people on the beach, including cooks, carpenters and other technicians, and then Annie recommends seven to eight people, mainly gunners, so that the personnel structure of the ship is relatively stable.

After going out of the sea a few times, the run-in is almost over, and then the manpower will be replenished one after another, so that although the time for the team to form is relatively slow, the advantage is that there is no need to worry about being directly mixed in by other small groups, and the most important thing Zhang Heng is now is time.

A week later, the Jackdaw sailed back out of port with its new crew.

When leaving the port, the sky was clear and cloudless, the seagulls were hovering at the top of the mast, a few agile pirates climbed the cable and quickly raised the sails, Billy stood in the middle of the deck, and looked at Zhang Heng at the bow of the ship.

The latter nodded, and the helmsman of the Jackdaw spoke to the pirates, "I got news from the shore that an Armenian merchant ship carrying a large amount of silk is on its way to New York, it is very close to us, if it goes well, it will catch up with it in less than a week, if we can grab this shipment, we will each get at least 100 pounds, but the bad news is that in addition to us, there are two groups of pirates also eyeing it, what do you think?" ”

Before Billy's words fell, one of the most anxious pirates immediately said, "Look at what, if you dare to grab prey from us, you have to ask Lao Tzu if the axe in his hand agrees!" ”

His answer caused a lot of laughter around him, and Billy was not angry, because he saw that the morale of everyone on the boat was good, and when he heard the second half of his words, not only did not flinch, but they all looked eager to try.

This means that everyone is looking forward to the upcoming fight.

Billy pushed the glasses off his face and smiled, "In that case, let's get started." ”

Zhang Heng felt like he had a long dream, in which he replaced Titch as the most powerful pirate in the New World, and the name of the Jackdaw became a nightmare for all the colonial merchants of the Caribbean, who not only managed to enter the island's council, but also led the war against the British to regain Nassau three years later.

He led a group of pirates to ambush Nassau's new Roger Wood, sinking his car in battle, becoming the recognized pirate king of the entire Caribbean.

The British government offered him a huge bounty, and pirate hunters flocked to him.

At this time, civil strife also broke out in Nassau, and some of the island's senators secretly accepted the amnesty of the new king, Zhang Heng had the opportunity to use thunderous means to wipe out these renegade former allies, but in the end he just sailed away with his followers.

During this time, he raided many slave ships, most of which were freed by him, and a few chose to join his pirate group.

The black slaves he freed were scattered on small islands in the Caribbean, which was why Zhang Heng's pirate group could still be resupplied after losing their base in Nassau.

Although the official has been sparing no effort to exterminate Zhang Heng and his pirate group, the people's evaluation of him is very complicated.

The blacks called him the liberator of the New World, and at the bottom of the small, crowded slave ship that could hardly breathe, those eyes longed for the appearance of the pirate ship called the Jackdaw.

The pirates called him the uncrowned king of the Caribbean, and his pirate code regulated piracy in the nearby seas to a certain extent, and the rule that only the goods were plundered without harming or insulting the ladies was well received by merchants.

The surgical disinfection he advocated has promoted the development of modern medicine and saved countless lives.

His name traveled across the seas to London, Lisbon, Paris...... It is frequently mentioned in the private salons of those aristocratic ladies.

In the past ten years, Zhang Heng has experienced countless battles, large and small, and there is a figure who has always been by his side.

It was a girl with fiery red hair, but she behaved like a man, she spoke in a thick voice, drank more fiercely than anyone else, her wheat-colored skin exuded a wild luster, she always liked to run at the front of the team when she charged, and Zhang Heng had to follow closely behind her.

From this angle, her short hair, blown by the sea breeze, looked like a red flame.

Zhang Heng saw the girl turn her head with a smug smile on her face, showing off something to him, but those words seemed to be blocked on the other side of the world.

The image before his eyes began to become blurry and blurry.

It's like a bubble on the bottom of the sea, bursting and disappearing a moment before it surfaces.

Zhang Heng's last memory was only frozen in the night of the second day after the Jackdaw went to sea, except for the pirates who were still on duty at night, basically everyone had fallen asleep, only Anne slipped out of the room alone, knocked on his door, and pulled him to the deck.

The red-haired girl stood on the side of the boat, took a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze, and shouted happily, "Great! That's what I've been pursuing!! ”

After a pause, she turned her head to look at Zhang Heng on the side, "Hey, what is the life you are pursuing?" ”

Zhang Heng was a little surprised, he didn't know why Annie suddenly asked such a question, he didn't know what copy he would enter in every round of the game, from the uninhabited desert island near the equator, to the bustling streets of Tokyo, the snow-covered Finland or the Caribbean now, he didn't have much choice.

For other players, this may not be a problem to think about, because just completing the main quest will consume all their energy, and they don't have time to think about what life they want to live, but for Zhang Heng, this time is sometimes longer than expected, especially this time, he will stay in this dungeon for 3900 days, Zhang Heng doesn't even know what kind of person he will become after leaving the dungeon.

The Caribbean Sea in the 18th century and the civilized world of later generations made the applicable laws of survival completely different, and it is difficult for man not to be affected by the surrounding environment to assimilate, in fact, he has undergone some subtle changes now and when he first entered the dungeon.

The red-haired girl pressed her palm on Zhang Heng's chest, "Are you afraid of something?" ”

Zhang Heng was silent.

"You don't really like it, do you?"

Zhang Heng didn't know why Anne, who had always been very aggressive, suddenly had such a keen side, but then the girl looked into his eyes and grinned, "So you smart people are the most troublesome, always worrying about what will happen tomorrow, and you can't enjoy today's happiness at all, Anla~ We will solve this problem." ”
