Thank you to the dog who saw the rainbow for a reward of 200 starting coins!
Working overtime, writing hard, I want to break 100,000 recommendations, that's it.

An empty rum bottle, and two pieces of paper, were placed on Lu Yuan's captain's desk.
These are Edward. Bonus items from Lowe's Golden Chest.
ββββ
Blackbeard's rum bottle:
Edward Blackbeard. Titch always liked to use black magic, keeping the ships he collected in rum bottles for his own collection, which was his favorite.
This bottle has magical powers, it can fit into a ship you own or occupy (limited to wooden sailboats under 3 stars/500 tons of displacement) and keep it in the same condition as it was loaded.
Conditions of use: Provides a lot of magic and four hours of uninterrupted storage time.
Number of uses: 3/3
ββββ
Now Blackbeard Edward. Titch doesn't want to say he knows witchcraft, he's just a fake pirate who doesn't even have a name in mind, and he's just Misha's stupid brother Edward. And as long as Misha doesn't have any accidents, he doesn't engage in some acts of squandering dog blood, plus the protection of the lucky talisman given to him by Lu Yuan, whether Blackbeard in history can still appear is really a big question!
And if he becomes Blackbeard, the future Pirate Emperor Elizabeth. Who exactly Swan's grandfather really is a bigger question......
But the rules of the treasure chest, the lottery is unreasonable! Lu Yuan also pulled out the "undead box"! So it makes sense that this rum bottle is here. Logically.
This bottle came so just right, it can be said that it perfectly solved the problem of handling and hiding such a large ship as "Maria". Lu Yuanda can load the ship. Then ride through Panama and release the ship - he can change the name to the "Pacific Fleet".
Pity. With only three chances to use it, all is just, and this must be saved for the most critical time! Well used, this is a real three chances to save lives!
*****
But now no one in the captain's room, whether it was August or Jacques, Elizabeth or Zhuo Chick, rejoiced. They all held their breath, looked at the angry Lu Yuan, lowered their heads and remained silent.
Edward. Two other pieces of paper from Lowe's treasure chest. Undoubtedly, one was his own wanted warrant, and not only could he receive a large bounty in Spain, the Netherlands, and France, but funnily enough, Britain and Morgan also offered large bounties. This shows that the British government did not think that Edward. Lowe is their man!
As the saying goes, "A wanted warrant doesn't lie, it just talks nonsense." β
The crux of the matter is another piece of paper, passed in your hands. In the end, it returned to Lu Yuan's hands, which was the source of Lu Yuan's anger.
Misha walked in with a cup of hot coffee and placed it in front of Lu Yuan. Then Misha pulled her skirt and sat down close to Lu Yuan. silently shows his support for his man with his actions. Her movements were soothing and graceful, and invisibly, they relieved the tension in the room.
Lu Yuan felt the change in everyone's mood. In his heart, he was a little grateful to Misha, but also a little guilty. Thanks to Misha's thoughtfulness. Maybe it's a habit that I developed when I often studied spells all night in the world of Bodeshi. Lu Yuan likes to drink hot coffee.
When he picks up the steaming cup, he can quickly soothe and calm his emotions.
This is the only way for him to relax himself, but he didn't expect the careful Misha to notice it and remember it in his heart. Lu Yuan felt that he had been a little crazy about playing recently, ignoring Misha's feelings. Misha is different from Anne, she lacks the ability to open up the scene independently, and is actually just a weak little woman.
As a result, at this time, only Misha would think of pouring him a cup of coffee.
At this time, Lu Yuan no longer had anyone else in his eyes. He dropped the piece of paper in his hand on the table and reached out to take Misha's hand. When he felt the cold touch of that finger, Lu Yuan put her fingers in his palm with some distress, and slightly lifted the Jiuyang True Qi, like a warm air mass, warming Misha's fingers.
August saw that the boss and the proprietress were showing intimacy in public, and turned his head a little unbearably, and his eyes happened to fall on the paper on the table again.
ββββ
British East India Company Wanted Warrant:
Runaway slave Lu Yuan is hereby wanted! This slave had assassinated Naples, the captain of our company......
The physiognomy is characterized by being yellow and 6 feet tall......
There is unconfirmed information that he is impersonating the heir to the nobility of the Villarreal region of Portugal......
β¦β¦
ββββ
The portrait on it, which was very similar to Lu Yuan, and those contents, instantly stung Auguste's eyes! The corners of his eyes twitched and he looked away again, cursing in a low voice. Although one is white and the other is yellow, August, who has seen the boss's various magical methods, really can't help but think about the relationship between the two.
It's a pity that today, he has a lot of money in his pocket that is tens of thousands of pesos! In the dockyard lies the newly repaired "Kraken", which looks almost identical to new! It can be said that as long as you marry Bai Fumei again, you can step on the peak of life! In this case, is the identity of the boss a Portuguese nobleman or an Oriental Indian? Isn't it heavy?! Shit, it doesn't matter at all!
But what will others think? You must know that in the face of the East India Company's sky-high wanted warrants like Mount Tai, many people will find it difficult to even breathe. How many people can still hold on? That's a problem.
"It's too much! I absolutely can't accept it! "Elizabeth was the first to stand it and slap the table and stand up!" actually robbed the nobles and belittled them as slaves, and dared to ...... "She is stuck, even if there is crooked reasoning, she can't go on."
Because it's the XVII century!
Now the white people of all Europe are robbing the whole world in the name of God. In the latest propaganda doctrine, the yellow race should not be said to be a nobleman. is to be classified into the human race, which is because they have suffered a great defeat in the East. The whole of Europe was panicked, and the belief system almost collapsed.
At first, the Mongols swept across Europe. Only two hundred years have passed since they lived in a tent and spanked them, and they have forgotten about it.
Elizabeth thought about it, but still bit her lip and said to Lu Yuan. "Lu, don't worry, my family is related to Governor Guaputillo, and I will definitely find a way to solve this problem! Big deal to spend some money. I will get the British Governor in the Caribbean to side with us and demand that the East India Company withdraw the wanted warrant......"
The more she talked, the more she was guilty, in fact, Elizabeth was not sure about dealing with a behemoth like the East India Company and getting it to take back her orders.
"What money to spend?" Lu Yuan put down the cup, and there was no trace of expression on his calm face. "At this time, there is always only one thing I have to do!" Lu Yuan's fingers tapped on the left, and his voice echoed throughout the room, "You want war." I'll give you war! β
August was dumbfounded, his eyes widened and he looked at Lu Yuan in horror! Jacques, and almost everyone in the room, looked like this! Zhuo Xiaoji, who almost laughed out because of Lu Yuan's indiscriminate plagiarism just now. She looked left and right now, and immediately followed with a look of horror!
I have to say that her expression is much more professional...... At first glance, it is an expert-level panic.
What was the British East India Company? Within a hundred years. The largest monopoly company in the world! It had a century-long "East India Trade Charter" with Britain (Europe at that time insisted that North and South America was the West Indies), and had its own innumerable fleet and armed forces. Arguably. Now Britain has two legs overseas, one is the naval fleet + colonial armament. The other is the East India Company!
"If the East India Company dares to treat me as a slave, then I will go to war against it! If Morgan dares to point fingers, then I will declare war on Morgan too! If the British dare to be dissatisfied with anything, then I will declare war on the whole of Britain! I want them to know what it means to be in pain! Lu Yuan clenched his fists and announced solemnly!
Listening to Lu Yuan's extremely arrogant declaration, the people in the room could hardly believe their ears!
The chick opened her mouth wide again, okay, in this room, only she knew that Lu Yuan was playing treasure. Because the only person in history who declared war on the whole world was called Cixi. It is estimated that this world realm can no longer exist.
Elizabeth was first overwhelmed by the shock, and then her eyes turned red and she was heartbroken. Lu Yuan spoke so resolutely, and where did she put her mind tangled for Lu Yuan? "You're amazing! Why don't you just challenge God! Elizabeth shouted indignantly, grabbed her dress, and rushed out of the room without looking back, and in the distance, she could hear the sound of her crying.
"You!" Misha grumbled and patted him on the shoulder, getting up and leaving. She soon caught up with Elizabeth and comforted her.
"The owner...... Then we are out of the woods. "Auguste just thinks Lu Yuan is talking angrily, anyway, wherever Lu Yuan points out, he will rush to! Since he has chosen to stay and continue to be the first mate, then everything is subject to the captain, yes! So he sneered and pulled Jacques up, and together they dodged out.
After the last, only Zhuo Xiaoji was left in the room, staring at Lu Yuan's eyes.
"Are you real or fake?! Copied so many messy words, people endured it very hard! "Even Xiao Ji will complain.
"Is it worth it? A slave or something is just a virtual identity arranged by the Lord God. Don't go up against a behemoth, its limitless ability to recover and its unmistakable attitude will eventually take up all of your mission time, leaving you with no other way to do anything else.
Don't do these things that don't have benefits. Also, you take these NPCs and the content of the plot world too seriously...... Later you will understand that these are all false. β
Xiao Ji was very sincere, and told all the experiences of the main god world that he had been doing. Although it is very utilitarian, it is really, especially to be able to say this to newcomers, which is commendable.
Lu Yuan touched his chin and said very affectionately, "I'm not here to win or lose, I'm just serious." β
Nima copied Lao Luo's quotations again, and the chick vomited.
*********
British colony, Port St. George.
An early morning fog filled the harbor. The sailors sat on the dock and chatted relaxedly. The content is nothing more than who got into whom. Who made a fortune again. Those unlucky eggs who lost all last night also have a free cool sea breeze to enjoy. So all gathered on the pier.
Because it was a foggy day, the larger ships were not suitable to leave the port until the fog cleared.
So everyone is very leisurely pastime, looking for all kinds of entertainment, maybe only the owners of those fresh goods are in a hurry.
As the early morning sun rises, the fog looks like it's lightened a bit. But for the basin-shaped Port of St. George, there is still a long way to go before the fog really clears.
"That's a ship?" A sailor smiled and pointed to the dense fog outside the harbor, and said with a little confusion. Let's be honest. It was just a corner of white that looked like a flag on a mast or something above the fog, and even he wasn't sure.
"It's a ship, it looks ...... Aha, a Caravel! That's right! "The old sailor who was chatting with him firmly seized the opportunity. He started with how to look at the mast to identify the ship, and for five minutes he talked ostentatiously, counting all the Caravel ships he had seen in his life!
"Ha, dare I say. This must be the worst Caravel you've ever seen in your life. When he spoke of the Caravel fishing boat he had seen in the North Sea, the young sailor interrupted him and pointed to the ship and teased. The crooked ship that sailed.
Now the distance of the ship is not too far, and even the towering hull is already faintly visible. In the thick fog, a large area of shadows is reflected.
"That's not right! It's going to hit the rocks! "The old sailor is a lot more experienced after all. When he saw the course of the Caravel, he immediately shouted loudly. It has attracted the attention of many people.
Why don't all the ships leave the port? Just because there is a large area of shallow reef outside Port St. George! These shallow reefs are up to a foot above the water's surface, and some are above the water's surface. Some are hidden underneath, and these shallow reefs are very difficult to spot in the waves. Even the most experienced sailors dare not say that they have explored and remembered all the reefs outside Port St. George!
But the old sailor was pretty sure there must be a reef ahead of the ship! Among the endless reefs in Port St. George's, that one stands out! But the ship went straight down the wind and slammed into the reef!
The heavy sound of the impact made almost everyone's teeth itch. "Can you crash into it? Does the helmsman eat? So how did it get here? The young sailor spread out his hands and expressed great incomprehension. With this kind of piloting skill, he should have been smashed into debris before the ship was about to hit the reef.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The old sailor cursed, he had already run over to untie the ropes of the dinghy, "Get on board immediately!" I guess the bottom of the boat won't be able to carry this all of a sudden! β
At this time, the patrol on the pier also began to blow the whistle violently, and more than two dozen small boats poured out of the nest to rescue, and the boats driven by the old and young people were also among them.
If your boat hits the reef and, like a fish stuck in a fork, is pierced. Then the best thing you can do is to lower the sails, then stop and think about what to do! But the ship was still full of sails at an untimely time, and the rudder seemed to be turning at will! With the waves, hanging on the spiky reef and swaying, the breach is getting bigger and bigger!
"Ghost ship?!" The young man said with a trembling voice! It was now halfway there, so the young man could clearly see that there was no human figure on the deck...... The ship came here on its own!
He put away his oars and said he didn't want to row any further! Ghost ships are not uncommon in this day and age, and most sailors know what the reason is. Sometimes the sailors abandoned the ship, and sometimes they were cut off from water and food at sea, and at the end of the day, they all starved to death, leaving only the ships adrift. But more than that, it was the plague that broke out on the ship, killing everyone......
"There's probably a damn plague up there! We shouldn't have gone up! It is God's will to let it sink! This would save the entire seaport. The young man shouted loudly, trying to make sure that the boats around him could hear him.
More and more small boats stopped, and they obviously all thought of it.
"Not a ghost ship!" The captain of the harbor guard, who had rushed from behind, also stood at the bow of the dinghy, shouting loudly. "It was the 'Arrogance', which belonged to the East India Company. Many of you should have seen her. Because she just left Port St. George's for Africa a month ago! Today should be the day she returns, it seems. I guess something must have happened on board!
But I'm sure it's not the plague! We must work hard to save everyone on board! Everyone should remember that the person you save today will save you tomorrow! β
"Let's row!" The old pirate gestured disdainfully to the young man and continued rowing on his own. The young man seemed to think of something, and shouted loudly to the captain of the guard, "Lord James, I remember that the 'Pride' was a slave ship? What about those black slaves on board? β
"It's foggy! Damn, hopefully it will disperse by noon. The captain of the guard shouted as he asked. But there was no doubt that all black slaves were sentenced to death. And all the slaves should be in the bottom two floors, and even if they don't die now, they won't be far away...... "Let's hurry up and get on the ship...... Oh, God! β
He was shocked by what he saw in front of him, and swallowed back what he was going to say later! Captain James of the Guard looked at the big ship in front of him dumbfounded, Jane, the captain of the East India Company's "Pride", who was hanged on the ship's main mast! His corpse swayed, smelling rancid in the wind, and smelling like a dead fish!
Looks like it's been dead for some days!
"Help!" "Is there anyone out there?!" "Help us!" "Oh God! β¦β¦β
Just when Captain James was shocked and didn't know how good the road was, the small boat close to the ship finally heard the sound coming from the boat. It was a noisy, but unanimous cry for help and prayers!
"Did the pirates do it?" Captain James turned back to the man behind him and asked, he was a guy who climbed up by connections, and this was the case. I was completely panicked.
"Save first! They are locked up in the bottom bin! On the adjacent ship, the old pirate couldn't help but shout, "They're locked up where the slaves were!" Five minutes to go! Let's go! "Finished. He took the young man by the hand, and climbed down the cable to the boat first.
Those people were shouting in pure European languages. Slaves don't talk like that at all!
β¦β¦
With the concerted efforts of dozens of small boats, most of the crew members were rescued. They carried chains on their hands and feet like slaves. Everyone is skinny, and there is a stench of the bottom warehouse everywhere on their bodies! The smell of that place, it is said that the first person to enter was directly fainted. In addition to them, there are some rancid biscuits and fish, as well as expired water.
Slave treatment through and through! Up to fifteen days!
The small half of the people who died were not drowned by the sea water that poured into the reef after hitting the rocks! A few days ago, they were already hanging on chains and turned into a corpse! Ironically, almost all of them died of the disgraceful disease of slavery. As God said, whites and blacks are different. Same treatment, same disease. Blacks would be judged to be "more than half dead," and slave owners would scolding and declaring that they had made a lot of money. And the assessment of the white man will be "only half survived", the captain of the guard, James, declared, and the scene is so horrific that no one of God's people can sit idly by!
β¦β¦
None of this affects the noble.
The body of Captain Jane, wrapped in a simple East India Company flag hoisted by the ship, was quietly passed to a remote courtyard of the Doge's Palace. The Governor, with a grim expression, waited.
After seeing the corpse, his eyebrows twitched, and he resisted the desire to turn his head and leave immediately, forcing himself to get close to the corpse!
He took out a white linen handkerchief, covered his nose, and looked carefully at Jane, who had been his guest of honor a month before, but was now a corpse.
A pirate scimitar pierced Jane's chest with a huge amount of force, cutting at least four or five hard bones along the way! - It seems that this is the stab that killed him. The Governor drew the rapier he wore at his waist, picked up the banner that Jane was draped over, and sure enough, ......
The scimitar also had a piece of paper stuck in its blade, and the scimitar pierced it along with Jane, strung together.
The paper was deep red in color, and its contents were barely legible. The paper was soaked with blood from Jane's body, and the sea breeze dried it again.
But the Governor of Port St. George didn't need to look at it to know that it was an East India Company, a wanted warrant for an Oriental slave named "Lu Yuan"! He picked up the lower edge of the paper with the tip of his sword, and sure enough, he saw the three big characters that were the message that the Oriental slave had left for the entire British East India Company.
- "Don't bother me! β
The font is unrestrained and unrestrained, and the saber rattling!
The Governor sighed, tossed aside the stained rapier, wiped his hands with a linen handkerchief, and threw it on Jane's corpse.
The Pride is the seventh ship this month! (To be continued......)
