Early in the morning, the pirates in the sailor's cabin were washing up and making noise, when suddenly someone rushed down from the deck, "See land!" We're home! ”

The pirates were stunned, then erupted in cheers and ran to the deck.

Zhang Heng and Marven were also caught in the crowd and were taken all the way out of the cabin, and when the two came to the bow of the ship, they also saw the harbor in the distance, and during this time they had heard the sailors on the ship mention this place more than once.

They praise it, they curse it, they sing about it, they spit on it, but there is no doubt that all people cannot do without it.

This is Nassau, the capital of Panama, located in the northernmost part of the western Indian Ocean, on the island of New Providence, which has the best harbor in the entire Bahamas, and the indigenous people of the island are Lucayos, who have lived a life of fishing and hunting for generations, discovered by Columbus in 1492, and then the first European settlers set foot on the land here in 1647 and built a settlement.

"You're going to love this place, and if you're a lover of freedom and adventure, it's hard to resist it." "It was a Spanish colony, and then it changed hands to the British. ”

"And now?" The farmer's son curious.

"Now, this place belongs to us." Goodwin bared a mouthful of white teeth, "Welcome to Nassau, the home of pirates, the land of the free. ”

The merchant ship sailed into the bay with the sea lion, and the pirates happily put the small wooden boat into the water, and then couldn't wait to row to the shore, and everyone was suffocated after going to sea for more than a month, and now their minds were full of thinking about how to go ashore and release, except for the people who still had responsibilities, they all rushed off the ship.

Di Freina ordered more than a dozen people, including Zhang Heng, and began to unload, Marven's expression was a little nervous, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of the kitchen, until the old pirate patted him on the back, "Don't worry about that barrel, when you're done with the things at hand, come to the tavern and find me." With that, he also got on the boat.

Zhang Heng and the farmer's son worked until the afternoon to move all the goods to the exchange on the shore, and the person in charge of taking inventory of the supplies did not enter the kitchen, and when it was over, Marven went back to look and found that the wooden barrel containing the smoked fish inside was gone.

Di Freina called out to the two of them, "You are supposed to have no part in this plunder, but it is certainly not okay to let you disembark like this penniless." He pulled out a money bag, "Here is 50 silver pesos, which is an advance for you, which should be enough for you to live on the shore these days, and if you want to make money, you can also find some work in the town, but don't sign a long contract, someone will inform you before you go to sea next time." ”

Thanks to Di Freina, Zhang Heng and Marvin left the exchange, but not long after they went out, the latter immediately asked for a share of the money with a shy face.

Zhang Heng knew what he was thinking, on the way the two of them came before, the farmer's son was always peeking at the ships moored on the dock, Nassau was very close to the American colonies, and it wouldn't be long before he could go to New York and Boston from here, and being a young master on his own farm was more promising than being a cook on a pirate ship.

However, Zhang Heng knew that he couldn't run away, if those pirates couldn't even prevent this kind of thing, then they wouldn't let the two get off the ship so reassuringly, but Zhang Heng didn't remind Marven of what he meant, seeing that the other party wanted to break up, he happily agreed, and the two sides divided the money and got 25 silver pesos each.

Malvin obviously did not want to fulfill his agreement with the old pirate, and when he saw that the silver coins were in his pocket and the money for the ticket, he hurried to the docks.

Zhang Heng looked at the town where he is now, the productivity of Europe in the 18th century had developed to a fairly good level, the Renaissance had just ended, especially in the upper class, the aesthetic level of architecture and decoration had reached a new height.

But the first impression of Nassau is that it is a clutter, with no theaters, no towering churches and bell towers, no ladies and gentlemen dressed flamboyantly for the ball, some low, dilapidated wooden and stone houses, and countless palm trees, as if it were a huge slum.

Creepy dressed maidens solicit business on the roadside, bare-chested men passing by, imps running barefoot on dirt roads, every traveler watching his purse bags, the streets are full of armed pirates, walking in groups, just coming out of taverns, plunging headlong into the casinos, fishermen and peddlers selling their wares in the market, and young priests talking in the open spaces about how men can wash away their sins.

Beneath its crude exterior, however, lies a tenacious exuberance and vitality.

Zhang Heng is standing here now, and he can feel the vigor of this town.

The speed of time in this round of dungeons was the longest he'd ever experienced, a full three hundred days, and with the extra twenty-four hours, he would be in this world for 3,900 days, more than all the previous rounds combined.

It will be an incomparably long journey, Zhang Heng doesn't know what awaits him in front of him, and now that the game has begun, he can only continue to move forward.

…………

Zhang Heng sorted out the things on his body, the props he hid under the floor had been taken out before getting off the boat, in addition, he also had a short musket on his body, and the handle of the gun was engraved with two abbreviated letters FH, but it is estimated that its owner should be gone, a dagger that can be used, but even if it is taken out, it should not be sold for a few pieces, as well as 35 silver pesos, which is a Spanish silver coin, which is quite popular in the colonies.

The above is all his net worth.

And in addition to these assets, he still has a debt that he has not repaid.

Zhang Heng visited several taverns in a row, and finally found the old pirate in the fourth tavern near the reef on the west side of the city, the latter was sitting there enjoying the dance on the stage, and saw Zhang Heng at the door knocking on the left-hand position, "If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have hired two people in the original agreement, but what about our chubby friend, when will he come over?" ”

"He's not coming." Zhang Heng sat down and said.

"Tsk, that's not a wise move, he doesn't seem to be aware of his situation enough." The old pirate lamented, "I hope it's Owen and not Phoebe who catches him, or he'll suffer." ”

Zhang Heng didn't care about the fate of the farmer's son, and said, "When will we start working?" ”

"Actually, we're already working, see that shirtless muscular man on your right, he's an armorer on the Ranger, he borrowed 200 silver pesos from me at about this time last year, and now the number has doubled to 300, go help me get the money back."
