909 Who is the Hunter?
After leaving the territory of the Poison Fang, Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing traveled to the Inca Empire, which was occupied by the Spaniards, and met with the Spaniard Francisco Pizarro, the legendary creator of the Cajamarca massacre. This demon king was quite polite to the nobles from the civilized land, and warmly entertained Zhang Fan and the others.
Zhang Fan also really complimented him for his immortal exploits in encroaching on the Inca Empire, although it was very against his will. Then Francisco took them on a tour of the temples and royal palaces of the Inca Empire. There, Zhang Fan and the book demon saw the monuments of the Inca Empire that had not yet been annihilated by history. What's even more rewarding is that after Zhang Fan sent some pearls from the Caribbean Sea to the demon king, he got the acquiescence of the happy Francisco to take away some antiquities for studying the Inca civilization!
One of the most important takeaways was getting a large number of memorabilia knots of ancient Inca priests called 'Chip' in the largest Inca temple. The mysterious odd knot is made of cotton, camel or alpaca wool. It is a set of braids composed of thousands of secondary ropes strung on a main rope. This is a three-dimensional writing method in the ancient civilization of South America.
These knots have survived for thousands of years and have been preserved in perfect condition under the care of Inca monks. For Francisco, it was nothing more than a pile of tattered and strange ropes, and it could not be used as a cable for a sailboat, and it was really useless except as a firestarter. But for the book demon, this is a treasure trove of knowledge!
After getting these 'chips', the three of them said goodbye to Francisco and headed for the Caribbean. After a delay of more than ten days in South America, when they arrived at Puerto Porlamar on Margaret Island, Akon was already on San Juan Island. Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing were very surprised to learn from the eyes of the 'Barbarossa' pirate group who stayed in the port of Borlamar that Akon and Caterina were going to plunder the Spanish royal family's convoy, so they urged the bone dragon to rush to San Juan Island.
The current bone dragon flies much slower than in the past, because there is one more book demon who has turned into a human, and the weight of three people makes it consume a lot of spiritual power, which is a little unbearable. So the road follows the arc-shaped island chain of the Caribbean, flying and stopping, and the speed of travel is not much faster than that of a sailboat. made Zhang Fan miss the bomber a little.
By the time everyone arrived at the port of Puerto Rico, the Spanish convoy had long since left, and the pirate groups had already been ambushed. Most of the ships in this harbor are a little deserted. However, judging from the letter left by Aken, the details of the incident show that Aken's actions this time were still very careful, which reassured Zhang Fan a lot. So he and the book demon followed Akon's train of thought, speculating on the various possibilities of this raid to see what he could do.
In the hardcover book conjured up by the book demon, along the route from San Juan Island to Port-au-Prince, various plunder plans are constantly deduced. Because the book demon retains modern and detailed chart information, it has a stronger grasp of the terrain of the sea area than Stoker.
By the way, after the book demon became an adult through the 'Ultimate Transfiguration Technique', he formed two major skill systems, one is his original 'text space', which contains the ability to crack various rune arrays, as well as the 'Word Prison' formation, and the ability to retrieve the data files of the transfiguration books. The other is the 'voodoo' witchcraft skill system learned in the scene, which contains 'Living Dead', 'Voodoo Doll', and spawns 'Plague', 'Divination', 'Hypnosis' and other sorcery skills.
Perhaps it was a habit for many years, but the bookdemon was still dressed as a Western gentleman, with a black bowler hat on his head, a pair of monocles, and a hardcover book in his hand that he was often flipping through, looking very gentle. Recently, however, the book demon has taken a liking to the long-barreled flintlock musket of this era, and has also developed a strong interest in fighting and Western swordsmanship. Perhaps he also wanted to experience what it was like to fight in a human body.
"I always felt that the Spanish convoy gave me a sense of conspiracy...... "The bookdemon said seriously.
"weishenme, do you feel like that?" Zhang Fan didn't quite understand.
"I just stood in the position of the Spanish fleet and thought about it, and it seemed that it was easy to come to a conclusion......" The bookdemon pointed to the complicated southern coastline of the island of Haiti on the chart, "The islands and bays here can ambush the pirate ships of the pirate group, and naturally the warships of the Spanish fleet. If I were the commander of the fleet in the Spanish Caribbean, I would have set up an extermination operation with the bait they could not refuse. For the Spanish fleet, the Caribbean is also too chaotic......"
"Do you think these transports are fake? In fact, there were no hardware goods on board, but they were all loaded with artillery and soldiers? Zhang Fan gasped, this was really terrible for Akon and Katarina.
"Of course not! The transport ship must be real. These pirate bands have eyeliner on both sides of the Atlantic. If you want to get them hooked, you have to use really in-demand goods. But they did a really poor job of secrecy. If even those of us in South America had been given detailed information and routes of the Spanish transport fleet, we would have been a little suspicious of deliberately letting off steam...... "The book demon said lightly.
"What I care about is whether Akon will know ......," Zhang Fan's heart moved.
The bookdemon laughed, "This guy thought of bribing the Spanish governor, so it shows that he also thought about this problem. ”
"That's good......" Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then no one in the other pirate groups will know?" ”
"Maybe I know, but the problem is that the bait is too big...... "The book demon seems to be a little sleepy, it seems that he has not yet adapted to the biological rest time of the human body, and he thinks that he can stay up all night reading a book.
"It seems that who is the hunter and who is the prey is still unknown......" Zhang Fan was a little dizzy.

In the sky of the sea area of Shona Island, Akon overlooked with a telescope from a high altitude while sending a message to the Green Wing to inform him of the battle situation, "It seems that the 'Victor' pirate group and the 'Carthaginian Sunset' pirate group have really joined forces." Victor was obviously harassing and seducing the escort warships to leave the group, and only sent two fast light warships over. Three Karak galleons were tailing in the distance......"
Green Wing told Caterina about Akon's briefing, and the latter admired the teleportation spell and said to Green Wing, "Ask him if there is a ship following the Carthaginian Sunset?" ”
Akon immediately replied: "There are two light three-masted ships following, not far from the three Karak galleons of Victor, I don't know if they are Carthaginian warships." Even if it is not a Carthaginian warship, it will not be a serious merchant ship, otherwise who dares to get so close to a large pirate ship is not looking for death. ”
Caterina frowned and asked, "Did you see one...... Well...... Some weird warships? The ship has no sails......"
"No sails?" Akon was surprised, "How do you open it?" Is it a paddle boat? ”
"There is no paddle ...... either," Caterina seems to be unsure of herself.
Akon was silent, how could the ships of this era move without sails and oars? Even ghost ships have broken sails. So he asked, "Are you sure?" Neither sails nor oars? ”
Katerina hesitated, "I've never seen this 'Sunset' with my own eyes, and in fact, not many people in the entire Caribbean have seen this strange warship. But according to reliable sources, the ship did not have sails and oars. You can't go wrong with that. And this strange warship has come and gone without a trace, and it is likely to appear next to your ship's side in the next moment, poking a big hole in your cabin! ”
At this time, Captain Hook, who was beside Katerina, suddenly spoke: "I have seen this ship, and it is true that there are no sails and oars. And wrapped in iron sheets, the cannonballs will bounce off when they hit! My 'Blood Lion' used to fight him, and this ship would dive underwater, and it would be fast and nimble in turning. If we hadn't jumped onto his closed deck and fought him, my 'Blood Lion' would have nearly sunk him! Such a strange ship, perhaps only Baron Shi Fan's sacred ship can withstand it. Captain Hook recalls the thrilling naval battle, and his heart still lingers.
It is not difficult to wrap the outside in iron armor, in this era, there were similar ironclad shackles in Japan, and there were also turtle ships with iron armor with thorns on the Korean Peninsula. But there are two kinds of boats, one is paddled, and there are also sails. Turtle boat: This is an enclosed paddle boat. The powertrain can be seen. If you can't see the ship with the power system, and still be able to dive, it is very difficult to do it in this day and age. Perhaps the oars of the ship are under water, invisible from the surface. This requires a high degree of tightness for the ship......
Akon narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Understood, I'll keep an eye on it......" He still had a thought in his heart, could it be a supernatural ghost ship. But even if it is a 100% supernatural scene, the ship can be supernatural, but the ship's jishu will not change, and it will still be a product of this era. If there is a jishu beyond this era, then there is only one answer, and that is the vow-bearer......

On the sea, in the face of repeated harassment by two three-masted pirate ships, Stoker showed great courage under Akon's care, but he was only limited to shelling the pirate ships, and would never rush over to engage in broadside battles. And he never pays attention to the temptation of his opponent. Two nautical miles from the flotilla will inevitably return. But the other four Spanish battleships could not hold back. Under repeated harassment by the two pirate ships, an escorted lightly armed sailing ship began to break away from the fleet and pursue......
Of course, the ship never returned, and Akon, who was patrolling the air, clearly saw two Karak galleons following and surrounding. It's like the Nile crocodile in Africa, silently dragging its prey into the complex sea area that has been arranged for a long time......
