Chapter XXIV The Ten Rules
"Main quest 4: Fight to fame"
"Brief Description: You have joined the pirate Bartholomew's men, but in the eyes of some you are a complete softass, and it's time to prove yourself in the next naval battle."
"Mission Description: Become a pirate in your first battle, either die in battle or become famous."
"Objective: You must try to reach 1000 points of reputation in Pirates. Current reputation is 100/1000. ”
"Quest Hint: Edward Teague, the number one pirate in the Seven Seas, is single-handedly hunting you down because he needs to repay the Ogst family. Don't question his strength, it's definitely much stronger than his aura. ”
"Mission Tip: Be careful, there are other travelers. It's a confrontation mission. ”
"Mission Hint: Other Travelers have accepted similar quests, and the one with the highest reputation will receive an additional reward."
In the cabin late at night, Zhao Qian looked gloomily at the mission information on his wrist and did not speak.
Judging by the ticket's mission information, he didn't even know which side a traveler had joined. Although he had seen the gun version of the Pirates of the Caribbean series of films before, he hadn't done much research on the plot here.
He got a high score in history, and he didn't know anything about this part of the history textbooks in middle and high school, except that he knew about the Invincible Armada and Britain's empire that never set on the sea.
The not-so-great ship rocked in the ocean at night. In the distance, the Satisfaction's artillery, which was clearly bullying the city defense of the port of Marseille, blasted a large hole in the city defense line of the harbor.
The ship is full of bandits who have joined the team from all over the world, and finally have a chance to show their talents.
"Dock! You sons of bitches! ”
Captain Morgan in the captain's seat gave orders in an orderly manner, he was a great pirate who brought wealth to his own people, and even though he had a dark history of stealing treasures for himself, his strength was almost unquestionable.
"Bunnies in the port of Marseille, if you don't want your city to end up in the port of Panama!"
Henry shouted on the ship, making the city guards of the port of Marseille, who had not experienced much war, more and more uneasy and frightened.
In fact, even in the Age of Discovery, where information transmission was backward, there were many countries that developed information and intelligence networks that knew about the achievements of this unique pirate.
Unlike other pirates who only raid ships at sea, he likes to raid port cities. Rumors about him can be heard in almost all the rich port cities.
In particular, the attack on the Panamanian seaport.
After attacking the Panamanian harbor, Henry Morgan plundered the city and set fire to it in anger due to the stubborn resistance of the local defenders.
The fire, which the Spanish nobles were unable to extinguish, made the leaders make a strange decision, and in order to save the Spanish cash cow from being rebuilt, they spent another ransom and asked the perpetrators to help put out the fire. Of course they would love it. This also made Henry Morgan famous in the Seven Seas.
In fact, this captain has very few real subordinates, but every time he sets out to do something, he will definitely attract many pirates who want to make a fortune. After all, he is a living golden signboard.
Went ashore.
Zhao Qian couldn't see this scene, and several small boats carrying dozens of outlaws completely tore a big hole in the musket position on the shore, plus the cover of high-powered artillery.
The soldiers, who had not fought a few battles, began to try to defend the walls they relied on, and were less warlike than a group of pirates.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.
In the gloomy cabin, Zhao Qian didn't mean to be sleepy.
Because the small boat with a draft of only 100 tons rocking in the sea stopped, and although it was still a little unstable, the footsteps of the boat could be heard.
"First Mate, we've arrived."
Zhao Qian had already heard the footsteps outside, and the sound seemed to be Sven who had just fought with him.
This guy had just come here and brought himself a glass of fresh water, half a slice of lemon, and a portion of grilled fish. He also seems to be the first person on this ship to accept himself.
According to some of the mindsets of this era, there are times when you will have more respect for those who have defeated you with your own hands.
"Got it."
He extinguished the candle and opened the door to his room.
Zhao Qian looked outside, but he was not attracted by the pale pirate outside the door, on the contrary, there is nothing more than a big ship with bright lights in front of you.
Especially, it was in the near darkness of the night.
Almost subconsciously recognized, he looked at the behemoth in front of him, maybe this big ship was nothing in the real world.
But in this day and age, this wooden war beast that roams the oceans is in charge.
Even in some nights without brightness, Zhao Qian could still see its cold cannon muzzle and frighteningly large sails with his high perception of 18 points. The big sail is the guarantee of all power.
"Hey! Wales! Put the escalator down! ”
The old fur seal beside Bartholomew shouted, and the people in the boat moved to the chilling breeze.
Zhao Qian walked out of the room, looking at the information coming from the recognition, he could even hear the noisy sound coming from the big ship opposite.
"Captain Bartholomew is back!"
"Looks like we're going to have to do it again!"
"Black Baron"
"Ship Class: Quasi-Legendary"
"50 meters long, 8.4 meters wide"
"Draught 500 tons"
"Special Ability: Ship Hunter (Passive): This ship will gain a slight speed when chasing other ships and increase the chance of spotting other ships on the surface."
"The rest of the information is unknown."
On the other side of the ship, a bald, bare-chested man with a scar in his left eye stood under the night light of the Black Baron. The improvised escalator made of wood and rope was lowered after one gesture from him.
"Well done, Leon."
The captain patted the daunting bald man on the shoulder, and the other party smiled childishly.
Bartholomew was the first to climb up, and in the process the first mate in front of him did not forget to faithfully reach out and carefully pull him up.
"Come up, kids! We're going to do a big deal! ”
The living pirate king gave orders from the deck, and his arrival woke up some of the ship's sleeping crew. And no one was dissatisfied, because the "masterpiece" of the Far Away Satisfaction made these already lawless guys itch to watch.
The sea breeze at night makes each pirate's figure a little thin.
Zhao Qian was the second to climb onto the ship, which in a sense was more like the rules of the pirates' class. These guys always know how to prioritize.
"This is Fusosi Zhao, the new member who will be the third mate of this ship."
Bartholomew brought his first mate and second mate to introduce in front of Zhao Qian.
Unlike the first mate Leon's friendliness to his own people, Zhao Qian could obviously feel that the second mate Wales's expression was much colder than these people's, especially when he saw some similarities between Bartholomew's eyebrows and Welsh's eyebrows.
In a sense, this is indeed a problem for many pirate families, and the heir is slightly less qualified than the old seafarers under his command.
After hugging the bare-chested man, he shook hands with the guy who seemed to be the captain's son.
Zhao Qian officially joined the gang.
Robbery gangs.
Everything that could be used in the Brave underneath had been cleaned up by the people who came up from behind.
On deck, Bartholomew experienced a day of prison escape and other fatigue, but he still knew that the opportunity could not be missed.
Compared with Zhao Qian this time, he did not pretend to be forced, but gave orders very directly.
"If we rob, we will rob the satisfaction number, I heard you right!"
"There's not a lot of people on that-son boat, to get back the shot Henry gave me!"
"Revenge! Avenge! ”
The sailors below began to cheer excitedly, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with robbing a pirate king.
"And for the riches of the ship!"
"Treasure!"
Zhao Qian, who was listening to the order on the side, did not speak, but there was some kind of light flashing in his eyes.
There was definitely something on that ship that the old guy wanted, with his knowledge of the old pirate's nature.
On the Black Baron, illuminated by torches, a wooden board nailed to the entrance to the cabin with a few rivets still feels novel, which is the rule on this ship.
The captain at the helmsman above was the one who made the rules, which is why he was revered as the black baron-to-be and roamed the seven seas.
"1. Everyone has an equal right to vote in all matters of day-to-day affairs.
2. Whoever steals the property of his accomplices is to be abandoned on a desert island, and given only a barrel of gunpowder, a pistol, and a knife.
3. Gambling on board is strictly prohibited.
4. Turn off the lights at 8 p.m. on time.
5. It is forbidden to wear unclean weapons, and everyone must scrub his gun and knife from time to time, as it is contrary to the law of Moses.
6. Children are not allowed to be brought on board, and those who seduce women to death.
7. Those who escape from the battle die.
8. It is strictly forbidden to fight privately on the ship, if it must be solved, you can use a knife or gun to go ashore to duel, and the winner will report the situation on board.
9. A person who has been crippled in battle may remain on board without work and receive 800 Spanish silver coins from the "public savings".
10. When the spoils of war are divided, the captain and helmsman shall be divided into two portions, the gunner, the cook, the doctor, and the boatswain shall be divided into one and a half portions, and the other employed persons shall be divided into one and a quarter portion, and the ordinary sailors shall each be given one portion. ”
PS: I have to sort out some data loopholes in the front, such as missing the 5 power value and perception bonus of the magic pattern, and making mistakes.
