Chapter 19: The Legendary Pirate Who Admired Science

Far to the west of the continent, in the Carolingian kingdom, there is a notorious pirate who is wanted. This pirate has three warships and more than 600 men, and they have no fixed range of raids, the entire ocean, and let them swim freely. Before this pirate became famous, he had only one armed merchant ship, and it is worth mentioning that with this armed merchant ship, this group of pirates relied on broadside battles to capture three warships, and since then they have become famous all over the world. During his three years as a pirate, he had plundered more than 20 merchant ships and conquered five ports.

Boldness and carefulness are everyone's evaluation of this pirate, because the practice of not playing cards according to the routine has caused countries heavy losses. Once, this group of pirates sneaked into the capital of the Carolingian Kingdom, ransacked the vault of a bank on land, and then surrounded by soldiers of a legion, they burst out and sailed away.

However, what made this legendary pirate famous is not only this unrivaled record, but also because she is a little girl, because under her leadership, the pirates have made crazy actions that refresh the three views of the countries on the continent, so the world calls her the crazy captain, Gloria.

As the saying goes, at the beginning of man, nature is good. Perhaps no one would have thought that she would grow up to be a notorious pirate and live with notoriety, not to mention that she was still a little girl? Every girl has a princess dream, every girl wants to get a true love, every girl wants to live a peaceful and stable life. Who would have thought at the beginning that they would sail the sea in the future and drive with the wind and waves?

Everyone must have their own hardships as a last resort, and Gloria is no exception. Everyone only knows that she is a pirate, and perhaps no one knows that the church of the Carolingian kingdom, in the name of the blasphemer, wants to send her to the gallows. The name blasphemous is because she is an astronomy enthusiast, and she has made a mechanical model, which is constantly simulating the operation of the world, no matter how close to reality, but contrary to the records of the church books, her actions are considered blasphemous.

Splendid City, on the second floor of the Spirit Pavilion, Gloria, a girl with short blond hair, she was sitting on the ground cross-legged with her smooth legs, wearing a pair of goggles on her head, wearing a half-body dark blue cloth dress, exposing her smooth and white waist, wearing a black short-sleeved leather jacket on the outside, wearing a pair of black shorts, several hanging bags hanging from the white belt around her waist, I don't know what was inside, wearing a pair of lace-up leather boots on her feet, a pair of black gloves on her hands, the gloves were just wrapping her palms, and her slender fingers were fiddling with a musket。

"OK, it's done!" Gloria put the musket on her back, came to the first floor, looked at Lin Jue and the three of them who were taken away by a group of soldiers outside the door, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Thank you three for helping me get these annoying guys done, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay the three for saving their lives." ”

"Well, I'm afraid this opportunity is gone!"

She chuckled and left the Spirit Pavilion and headed straight for the docks.

On the dock, countless ships docked here, and there are many giant ships that are seventy or eighty meters long, and the domineering appearance of these ships is very eye-catching, which also leads to some exquisite small boats, no one will notice at all. For example, a Western-style three-masted schooner, although the workmanship is fine, but it is too small, only more than 20 meters long.

Gloria came to the ship, and the crew greeted her: "Captain!"

"How's it going?" asked Gloria with a smile.

One of the sailors replied, "Captain, everything is in the cabin." ”

Gloria waved her hand and said, "Then let's go, rendezvous with the fleet!"

Looking at the dozens of wooden boxes in the entire cabin, Gloria smiled in the corner of her eyes, and in each of these boxes were silver ingots of the Yan Empire's standard! A million taels of silver, and he made a fortune! With so much money, who would want to be a pirate? The top priority now is to melt these silver ingots into silver coins, and then take the brothers to wash their hands in a golden basin and find a place to live in peace!

Gloria has already planned her future, to find a small landlocked country where no one knows her, preferably a place beyond the control of the power of the church, to continue her hobby, to write a paper in the future, to join the Continental Science Alliance, and to become an astronomer. By the way, open a small shop, or a private school, to teach children scientific knowledge that is not accepted in this era, and spread scientific truth. The vast starry sky is full of infinite beauty, which makes people yearn, and it is best to find a handsome young man who also loves the sky, give birth to a white and fat child, and live under this magnificent starry sky together.

"Captain, I'm in a little trouble, come up and take a look. A sailor came to the cabin and shouted at Gloria.

"What's the trouble?" Gloria paused for a moment, and made her way up the gangway to the deck.

The water pointed to a body of water in the distance, where there was a small mountain that stood in the middle of the sea, and Gloria knew that this was the place where the previous fleet had stopped, and the place where she had asked her own people to take over the Splendid City on this trip. But now, in the whole sea area, the largest sailboat that can be observed is the three-masted schooner under his feet, in addition, two small sampans, floating alone on the sea, on the small sampan, there are about 20 people sitting quietly on it.

Gloria frowned and said, "What's the situation?

A gray-haired sailor, probably in his fifties, reminded in a low voice: "Captain, I don't think something is right, and you'd better be prepared and be careful." "This sailor, Gloria's flagship, the first mate of the Luna, is called Rommel, a very enthusiastic old man, and also a loyal old man. He was once a frigate captain in the Carolingian Navy, banished for his blatant rebellion against the Church, and was taken in by Gloria.

Gloria took out her binoculars, looked over at the sampan, and frowned, "It's all ours, but what about the others......?" Where's the ship?"

Rommel said: "This time to plunder the Yan Empire, most of the high-ranking people do not approve, captain, I think you need to be vigilant, maybe there will be an accident." ”

Gloria shook her head and remained silent. After this reminder, she had doubts about whether her fleet had defected, but in her heart, she did not accept such an idea. No, it was impossible for them to mutiny, from having only one armed merchant ship, all the way to the present, a powerful fleet of three main warships, seven armed ships of all kinds, she asked herself if she had never treated any of the crew members badly, they had no reason to mutiny. Could it be that just because this time he looted the Silver Casting Division of Splendid City?

"Yes, there's no reason for them to mutiny!"

Gloria calmed her mind, pointed to the small sampan, turned to Rommel and smiled: "Yes, there must have been some accident, and the fleet left before it was time to tell." You see, didn't they still have some people left? Maybe they stayed behind to tell the news, and you see, aren't they still waving their hands to call us?"

"Well, that's for the best. Rommel sighed softly. He could see that the beautiful captain spoke lightly, and in fact had a bit of a forced smile.

The schooner was getting closer and closer to the small sampan, and the people on the two small sampans were trying to wave their hands, as if trying to get their attention.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and through the telescope, I could already see the expressions on their faces, only to see their faces frightened, they were indeed waving, and they were shouting loudly, shouting and pointing behind the peaks, that look, it was more like a reminder that they needed to pay attention to something.

Rommel frowned and looked at their lips through the binoculars: "This mouth shape...... Fast...... Damn it!

Rommel held his telescope steady in case he couldn't see what they were talking about because of the wind and waves.

"They...... They're saying, Run!" Rommel screamed to the helmsman's position, struggling to twist the helm handle, shouting, "Damn, lower all the sails, everyone get ready to fight!"

At this time, the sailboat was still moving slowly under the drive of inertia, and behind the cliff, the bow of a battleship was gradually revealed in front of everyone's eyes. Gloria was stunned, she was familiar with the bow, the Statue of the Moon Goddess, and this ship was her own flagship, the Luna.
