Chapter 341: Witch
Although the guards are dead, more and more guards are gathering. Havana is, after all, an important city, and its garrison here is very impressive. Moreover, the batteries were lit up with fire, and many artillerymen began to calibrate their guns, preparing to bombard the Black Pearl, which was stuck in the harbor.
Although the skeletons saw more and more soldiers converging, they sped up their speed and quickly rushed into the governor's palace and snatched Elizabeth Swan along with the gold coin. Although as long as the curse has not dissipated, then they are immortal beings. However, not dying does not mean that you will not be broken into pieces. Even though they have become skeletons, no one wants to be smashed to bones by a sledgehammer. It didn't taste good.
"Retreat!" Barbossa gave the order, and then led the group backwards. The skeletons retreated towards the Black Pearl, and the octopuses were left behind to actively stop the swarming soldiers.
"Kill them and keep the pursuit." Governor Swan stood behind the soldiers and shouted. However, the skeletons fled back to the Black Pearl with Elizabeth on their backs, and then fled the port of Havana under the cover of night.
And the soldiers on the harbor battery didn't fire because of the rat trap, so they could only watch the Black Pearl into the night.
"What a bunch of rubbish, hurry up and notify the Navy to dispatch the fleet, and you must bring Elizabeth back." The roar of Governor Swann could be heard clearly by Li Mu from the bell tower in the distance.
"It's really a bad fate, I just don't know if Turner's little blacksmith has been arrested." Li Mu shook his head and mentioned the blacksmith Li Mu found that many powerful characters in Western movies are blacksmiths.
Among the pirates of the Caribbean, Turner, the captain of the future flying Dutchman, is a blacksmith. In the Celestial Dynasty, Baron Balian, the protector of the Holy City, was also a blacksmith. In A Song of Ice and Fire, King Rauber's bastard son is also a blacksmith, well, a blacksmith's apprentice.
Anyway, it seems that they have a soft spot for the profession of blacksmith.
Either way, a pirate attack on the port of Havana has come to an end. However, the follow-up of this incident is still in the pipeline. You must know that Havana is an important British stronghold in the Caribbean, and it has been attacked here, how can it ensure the safety of its expatriates, not to mention the loss of a very important nobleman such as the governor's daughter. Under the impetus of various forces, a new round of pirate clean-up activities will definitely begin. At that time, the pirates will certainly not have a good time.
However, none of this had anything to do with Li Mu, who waited on the bell tower until the morning fog cleared and the small traders began to set up their stalls, and then blended into the crowd in the clothes he had brought down from the boat. To be on the safe side, Li Mu and Shuang'er also wore wide hats to block their appearance. After all, this is a British colony in the Caribbean, and the faces of the Orientals are still very conspicuous here.
Coupled with the fact that Havana had just been attacked by a group of pirates, and now was the time for all the plants and trees, Li Mu didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble because of his face.
"Tell me where the most effective witch lives here." Li Mu slapped a gold coin in front of the bartender.
"Witches are heretics who should be burned to death, and there is no trace of them here." The bartender skillfully took the gold coin into his arms and handed a glass of beer to Li Mu, "Or you need a beer." ”
"Maybe it will clear you up." Li Mu spilled the beer on the bartender's face, and then aimed an arquebus at the bartender's head. It was taken out of the captain's quarters of the Blue Lilac, and although it was of little use, it was more than enough to scare ordinary people.
"23 Baker Street." The bartender raised his hands.
"If I find something wrong, you're going to get a cut and hang in the back of my boat, and I think the sharks are going to enjoy this lunch." Li Mu threatened.
"Okay, it's Gray Corner Alley, just go to the west of the city and ask around." The bartender said helplessly.
"It looks like you're being dishonest. After receiving the money, he didn't do a good job, so as a punishment, ......" Li Mu raised the arquebus fiercely, and then hit the bartender in the head with the butt of the gun. The bartender fell to the ground silently like a broken sack.
"He's sleeping heavily, and he won't wake up until the afternoon, so I'm sorry you won't be able to drink until the afternoon." Li Mu waved his hand to the surrounding drinkers, and then walked away with Shuang'er. The remaining drinkers looked at each other.
After Li Mu identified the most famous local witch in the mouth of others, he hired a local guide and took them to the place where the witches lived.
The place where the witch was located was an area inhabited by civilians, not a dirty and messy slum or a neat and luxurious rich area, which made Li Mu a little surprised. He had the impression that the godheads of the church would live in the luxurious and rich areas, and the folk witches would hide in the slums. The place where the witch stayed was a little unexpected for him. However, this is just a personal habit and does not prove anything.
After opening the somewhat dilapidated oak door, Li Mu entered a dimly lit room with no windows and dozens of white candles lit messily throughout the room. Despite all the candles lit, the room was still dim. It's like something has swallowed up the light.
The surrounding walls are either hung with strange ornaments, or painted with strange symbols and graffiti of unknown meaning, like the room of a deranged artist.
Li Mu even saw the Indians' dreamcatcher nets on the wall.
By the way, is it really appropriate for you to hang this thing as a witch?
In the middle of the room, a woman in a red cloak with a shaved head was sitting cross-legged on the floor, and a basin of water was placed on the floor, and the woman was looking into the basin. Looks like there's something interesting to look at again.
The woman's body was painted with all kinds of strange runes, and there were a lot of strange ornaments around her neck, but each one looked tattered.
When the woman heard the voice, she looked up, "Oh, welcome, another guest is coming, do you want a cup of tea?" The woman said as she took a bowl of green liquid from a black pot next to her, poured it into the teacup, and then took a sip.
"I'm sorry, but I don't really like this kind of thing." Although Li Mu is not a picky eater, he is still insensitive to this kind of unknown composition.
"Well, you have to pay the price of blood to enter my gates, what do you need to know?" The woman did not force Li Mu to drink tea, but raised her head and asked.
"That's why your business is not good," Li Mu looked at a skeleton that had fallen in the corner of the wall and threw down a bag of gold coins, "I want to know the news of the Bone Ghost Ship." ”
"At least there are no bad debts." The witch threw the gold into the chest next to her, then took a mouse out of her pocket, kissed it softly, and threw it into the fireplace next to her.
The flames in the fireplace rose with a sigh of relief. The raging flames engulfed the rat in an instant.
"It's at the end of this world, below the endless sea." The woman said, staring at the flames.
"How do you get there?" Li Mu asked.
"There's a chart in the hand of a pirate named Howling Wind that will guide you on how to get there."
"So, where is this pirate called Howling Wind?"
"In Singapore, inside a bathhouse." With the woman's words, the flames slowly fell.
"Looks like I can only ask here." Li Mu shrugged his shoulders.
"It does seem to be so." The woman said.
"How much does it cost to gag your mouth." Li Mu asked.
"Information is priceless." The woman said faintly.
"Well, if you insist." Li Mu nodded, and then left here with Shuang'er.
