Xiao Lang'er took them off the black ship, and the black boat drove away as soon as it slipped away, startling the harbor guards, and thinking that they were dazzled, and when they saw three people from the sea, they were sure that they were not mistaken, and it was indeed the legendary ghost ship, and they did not dare to stop them, and one of them hurried to the governor's palace to report.
When Pierce, the governor of the port, heard the news, his heart was overjoyed, and finally he had the information of the ghost ship, which was a priceless treasure, and if he had it, he could find the legendary tree of life, and if he ate the fruit of the tree of life, he would live forever, and he thought that the ghost ship would no longer appear, which was really great news, and he would immediately tell the king and queen of Spain that he was going to find the tree of life, and the king and queen would live forever after taking it.
Pierce quickly wrote a secret letter and told his cronies to return to their homeland in the fastest sailing ship and report the good news to the king. Pierce thought that he would be promoted to a knighthood, and he walked a little fluttery, and he had to plan how to take down these three people, his deep-set eyes narrowed into a slit, calculating how to get the ghost ship.
When Xiao Lang'er arrived at the port, he found that the port had changed a lot, becoming more prosperous, with merchant ships frequently entering and leaving the port, sending or carrying away a large number of supplies, and there were people coming and going in the square, including Spaniards, Englishmen, merchants, pirates, rich people, poor people, beautiful women, black slaves, some chatting leisurely, and some were busy.
Xiao Lang'er walked through the lively crowd, towards the seaside mansion of the Golden Tooth, passing by the fighting ground, the tavern, and the slave trading market, which was still very lively, and it seemed that Spain had made no less ill-gotten gains.
The seaview building of the Golden Tooth is next to the cliff, and the sea is below, Xiao Lang'er walked to the front of the Western-style building, and was about to knock on the door to enter, and found that the Western-style building had been inhabited by Westerners, Xiao Lang'er felt very curious, is this Golden Tooth so rich that he can hire Westerners as servants?
Xiao Lang'er was about to walk in, but was stopped by a powerful man, "This is a private house, idlers are not allowed to enter." "Xiao Lang'er knows a little Spanish now, and after sleeping with Windsor so many times, he learns the language much faster.
"I'm looking for Captain Goldtooth, please help inform me!" Xiao Lang'er said to the mighty man, although he was not very fluent, but the man understood.
"There's no gold tooth here, you can look elsewhere, or I'm welcome!" said the mighty man, holding the long sword at his waist.
Xiao Lang'er pushed him away, walked in with his head held high, looking for the traces of the golden tooth everywhere, only to see a Western oil painting hanging on the wall, the painting was a brown-haired couple, it seems that this is really not the residence of the golden tooth, Xiao Lang'er went upstairs to look for it, and saw a foreign woman taking a bath, she saw Xiao Lang'er come in and screamed, and quickly wrapped the bath towel around the fat body, "Ham, come on! There are hooligans!" The lady shouted.
Xiao Lang'er hurriedly said something and retreated, feeling a little lost in his heart, where did this golden tooth go? Xiao Lang'er was going to go to the land exchange of the governor's palace to ask and see what was going on with this golden tooth? If the good rich man doesn't do it, where is he wandering.
"Why do you want to leave so easily, leave your money bag behind as the price of disturbing the house. The mighty man stopped Xiao Lang'er, he looked down at Xiao Lang'er, and Xiao Lang'er was at least a head lower than him. Xiao Lang'er ignored him and knocked him down with one punch, and the mighty man fainted.
Xiao Lang'er stepped out of the western-style building, and the foreign woman was already exclaiming, "Ham, Ham, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Lang'er looked at Chunxiang and Xia He on the road, waved his hand, and took them to continue to the Governor's Mansion, entered the hall of the Governor's Palace, and came to the Land Exchange, still the thin and tall manager.
"Sir, I want to know where Captain Goldtooth went?" Xiao Lang'er asked, the slender manager ignored him, just stretched out his palm and placed it on the table, Xiao Lang'er put a gold coin in his palm, and the manager's face became more beautiful.
"It's Captain Goldtooth, who has a big gold tooth on his front teeth, he bought a bungalow from you, and now he no longer lives here, and I want to know his whereabouts. Xiao Lang'er nodded.
"You're talking about Captain Kerry, oh, he's unlucky, because he offended Boss Zheng, he has been captured by the One-Eyed Dragon, and the house has been sold to me. Said the tall and thin manager.
"Aren't you able to protect him from being oppressed by others?" Xiao Lang'er was a little angry.
"Young man, although this is our colony, we have the final say, but Boss Zheng is covering the sky in the nearby seas, and our merchant ships will be looted if they don't fly their flags and pay taxes, so he threatens our governor, and our governor has no choice but to watch the one-eyed dragon take the golden tooth away. The emaciation manager said.
Xiao Lang'er put another gold coin in his hand, "I want to know where they took the gold bucks?" said the emaciated administrator, "I'm afraid this will have to ask our Governor, but our Governor will not receive you, if you can defeat all your opponents in the arena and make Governor Pierce think that you are a talent, he will receive you." The emaciated manager blinked.
"Then I'll go to the fight ring tonight. Xiao Lang'er had no choice but to take the two female slaves out of the governor's palace, ready to go to the tavern to kill time.
When Xiao Lang'er and the others left, someone in the hall had already gone to the governor to report, "Very good, everything is under control." I will subdue him with the strongest fighter, and if he can't be subdued, I will start with the two women around him and sell them to Europe to be done*** These two chicks are still a bit of a look, Lao Tzu has to enjoy it tonight, so that he will never find it. Pierce sat on the chair that could be rotated, and shook it very excitedly, he looked at the portrait of his wife on the wall, but he hadn't seen his wife for more than half a year, as long as he caught the owner of the ghost ship, he could immediately be added to the rank of knight, and he would be just around the corner.
"Go and call Gary. Pierce instructed his men, and the man went out immediately, and after a while came a strong man like an iron tower, stronger than a cow, and Pierce saw him come in, and poured a glass of liquid, "Gary, it's up to you tonight, I'll let the other fighters consume that man's physical strength first, and then you go up, use your potential, and beat him hard for me, as long as you don't beat him to death." Then I will reward you with two slave girls to make you happy, and five hundred gold coins. ā
Gary grinned when he heard that there was a reward for money and beauty, his big black face showed a mouthful of white teeth, he took the cup of liquid and drank it, and nodded to Pierce, "Yes, master, I will beat him up like a human being." ā
"You go down and prepare, it will take a few hours for the energy of this liquid to be brought into play. Pierce waved his hand, and Gary stepped back.
Pierce looked at the map on the wall and turned his gaze to the Caribbean Sea, where there was an isolated island, where there was a mysterious sea, but ordinary ships would disappear when they arrived, and it was said that there was a large whirlpool.
Pierce stood up, clasped his hands to his chest, looked complacent, thought for a while, went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey, poured a large glass, took a few sips comfortably, and soon his face was flushed.
