When Byron walked into the operations command room, the pirate officers of the Nemesis and the captains of Redbeard's pirate fleet had already arrived.

Apparently because Bill was not very popular on the ship, the sailor in charge of the herald was the last to inform him.

Someone raised his eyelids, and the yin and yang strange aura said:

"Isn't Mr. Executioner the most disciplined, and he talks about the Ten Commandments everywhere? How often do you get late? ”

Byron, in Bill's usual style, ignored the information that the captain named Hayden was called.

After taking off his hat to Captain Edward the Redbeard, he took a seat on his right.

The officers on the Nemesis are seated on the left, and the closer they are to Redbeard, the higher the status.

With the captain's number one position as the center, the seats on both sides are 7, 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, and 6

Bill, the executioner, was probably the seventh in the pirate ranks.

It's a core circle, but it doesn't belong to the right-hand man that Redbeard can't live without.

At this time, Redbeard, who was sitting on the throne, seemed to have completely failed to hear the disagreement between his subordinates.

While eating breakfast leisurely, I flipped through the "Lighthouse Weekly" that had been carefully scalded by the servants and had no ink on its hands.

"The new king of the Hattings, Edward IV, was recognized by the Iron Law of the Crown and the Church, was crowned at the Gamspring Palace, and made an address to the House of Lords."

"The Bantaan Islands have encountered several strong storms, a large number of merchant ships have missed the window period, and they will be stranded in the local area this winter and will not be able to return, and the prices of spices, sugar, and furs in mainland countries will continue to rise!"

"In the kingdom of Castile, where the overseas route is the strongest, there is a colony that has been attacked by the indigenous transcendents, and has suffered heavy casualties.

The Governor urgently appealed to the nearby garrison for help. ”

"Somewhere in the sapphire sea south of Bantaan, the Rhine Confederation has discovered a huge volcanic silver deposit, the reserves of which naturalists deduce are staggering"

When Redbeard saw the last message, he raised the newspaper to everyone, and seemed to sigh unintentionally:

"Tsk, if only the discoverer of this great silver mine was our [Nemesis].

Even if we can't eat it ourselves, we can resell it to a certain big force, and we can at least get one or two percent of the long-term gains.

In the future, money will no longer be a problem for us. ”

Harvey, the first mate [Jackal Badger], who was already anxious about the funds, also echoed on the side:

"Indeed, Your Excellency, after you gave the order to solicit free pirates.

Last night, another [Golden Deer] and a [Baisha] took the initiative to take refuge under our command.

Although they are all little-known little pirates, 100 pounds per family is really thrown out.

During this time, the money is like flowing water, and the funds for the activities we have prepared are really not much. ”

In the past half month, they have swept goods and recruited people to expand their strength in Iron Anchor Bay; Those who come do not refuse, and buy free pirates from all walks of life; and the parliamentarians secretly colluded with the tune

It also strictly restricted the crew of the privateer alliance from going ashore, which also made the atmosphere on board more and more tense.

Redbeard knew that the loyal [Executioner] Bill was a target for himself to attract firepower.

If the money is in place, none of these things are a problem.

But in order to do that earth-shattering event, they came to Iron Anchor Bay a month in advance, and they lacked money and had no chance to loot again.

The new lord, the House of York, has already supported more than a hundred privateers, and it is impossible to send them any more money.

"Even if White Rose promised to send the 'natural disaster' that can harvest everything.

There must also be a fleet-level fierce battle.

The free pirates are a group of villains who see the money, and the settling-in fee is only a deposit, and the subsequent war funds must be in place before they are willing to do it.

Are we going to borrow money from the Remet who eat people and don't spit out bones? ”

Even if the big pirate kills without blinking, he has a little bit of a change of interest in the business that the Remet people do best.

War has always been one of the most expensive activities, otherwise many kings would not have resorted to usury when they were fighting.

There are many people who don't even want to repay the money and have murderous intentions against creditors.

Redbeard pinched the corners of his forehead, his gaze swept from left to right over all the pirate officers present, but none of them dared to look at him.

These old fur seals can more or less see that the captain is taking the opportunity to sing a duet with the first mate and cry poor.

But whether they have money or not, they are reluctant to donate to the captain's cause.

Donate your own salary?

You're really a bit of a tough one!

In the silence that embarrassed Redbeard, a person suddenly spoke:

"Your Excellency, I have a solution.

Please take a look at this. ”

It was the "executioner Bill", who was not very conspicuous among a group of pirate officers, who spoke.

Listen to the advice of others to eat well.

After getting the intelligence hint from [Know-it-all], what Byron spent a night preparing in advance came in handy.

At Redbeard's motion, he stepped forward and placed the "treasure map" in front of him, which still smelled of fresh ink.

With delicate brushstrokes that are by no means equivalent to the color of the road, the isometric course, the compass dial, the wind direction rose chart and the scale bar are marked

It's almost like hand-drawing a brand new nautical chart.

"What is this?"

People who live on land all year round want to go to unfamiliar places, and the first thing they need to look for is a conspicuous landmark, and then use the landmark as the origin to describe the direction.

But there is simply no such thing on the sea, where there is water everywhere.

Therefore, when an experienced old captain looks at the nautical chart, he does not look at the overly abstract nautical chart, there are any conspicuous landmarks.

Instead, through these route elements on the chart, a precise route is formed in the mind.

Conformal routes are used in conjunction with a compass to draw up a navigation route

The wind direction rose chart represents the frequency, average wind speed, and maximum wind speed of various wind directions, and there are various identification types such as year, season, and month

When Redbeard saw through these nautical data and saw through the coordinates that the nautical chart finally pointed, "Poo" stood up at once.

His hands pressed against the charts, his eyes wide fixed on the destination.

That's legendary – Treasure Island!!

Turning his head in disbelief to look at the confidant next to him.

That's right, from now on he may be able to afford the title, as long as he can prove that this thing is not a fraud or graffiti.

I saw Bill's face full of righteousness:

"Captain, in fact, since I got on the ship, I have been sorting out the logbooks and various charts from my past service in the Kingdom.

Recently, I have seen you and Mr. First Officer busy for the future of the [Nemesis], and I am anxious in my eyes.

I just want to do my best, think about what you think, and be anxious about what you need.

But I'm just a squire-level [executioner], and my strength is really insufficient.

So I thought about it and compiled all the valuable drawings I had seen.

Then he found this nautical chart that he had seen in a classified document, which should ease the urgent needs of the pirate group. ”

Seeing the captain's overreaction, the first mate also looked at it curiously, and immediately exclaimed:

"This is a treasure map to the legendary Treasure Island?"

The pirate officers next to him couldn't sit still, and they swarmed around, talking a lot:

"The legend of Treasure Island has a long history on the sea, and it is one of the top 10 legends.

At least six out of ten pirates know its story.

It's the treasure trove of legendary Pirate Flint, with countless gold, silver, and jewels of all kinds.

But the Treasure Island is elusive, and it can only be found at a certain time through a series of complex route calculations.

The most amazing thing is that every time Treasure Island appears, there will be more treasures on the island than the last time, just like gold and silver treasures will grow on their own. ”

"That's right! In the beginning, there were only legends, and no one had ever seen its true face.

It wasn't until a few years ago that the descendants of Flint's wealthy men revealed their identities and were besieged and killed, and the treasure map of the legendary pirate was scattered.

Although a few copies were made later, not many had the opportunity to board it, and even fewer returned with treasures. ”

"I know why.

Because Treasure Island must be separated by prime years before it appears somewhere in the sea, the first time is 2 years apart, and the second time is 3 years apart.

Then 5, 7, 11, 13, 17

It is said that the current prime number cycle is 11 years, and the next appearance of Treasure Island will be next year.

At this time, not to mention the Treasure Island itself, a treasure map alone is enough to make countless pirates rob their heads.

I've heard that I auctioned one in the auction house two months ago, and I didn't dare to look at the number of zeros in the back. ”

A group of pirates pieced together the legend of Treasure Island.

The few novices who hadn't heard of it were all wide-eyed.

It's just that not everyone was carried away by the treasure map, and a pirate suddenly said at this time:

"Impossible, right?

Even if Bill had shit luck and saw the treasure map from the classified files of the Kingdom of Hattings.

But he could be so kind that he would give this wealth of the rich country to the captain for nothing?

Will you deliver it? ”

Such a straightforward question suddenly made everyone cold.

Everyone only dared to answer silently in their hearts:

'Well, no! ’
