Chapter 0183 The witch's five fireball gods (1)
Merchants or pirates from all over Europe all know that in the Caribbean region of the New World, there is a special place, which is a port city, a free trade port that is open to the outside world in principle. For those who come here, whether it is a ship that moors and replenishes supplies, or sells goods, or takes some shameful things, the port managers never ask about the source!
It is Tetuga, or, you can also call it: Turtle Island!?
It is the most disgraceful pirate trading port in the seventeenth century, where pirates and sea privateers often conduct criminal activities such as selling stolen goods, selling or recruiting new pirates and smuggling sensitive materials.
Of course, it is also a gathering place for all kinds of down-and-out people. Here you can find retired or forced retired former navies, rotten alcoholics, unemployed people from all walks of life, rogue villains, ruffians, outlaws, or prostitutes, bankrupt ship owners, etc. They are all ideal pirate reserves. As long as you have money, you can recruit anyone you want here!
Then, as long as you have a boat that is not too bad, they can go out to sea with you at any time!
After all, changing jobs to be a pirate is a very rich career for them, and it is completely worth their risk of being hanged!
Of course, the premise is that you must have enough courage and skills to rule them, otherwise the tragic ending of the famous Captain Jack Sparrow back then would be a good role model!
"Hey! Man, have you heard of it? I heard that the British Port Royal has been occupied by a group of mysterious people! They are also completely open to the port and do not charge any additional taxes!"
In a noisy and noisy bar, three smuggling captains gathered in the corner and muttered quietly while drinking rum.
This kind of mixed-use gold cave is a good place for these desperate people to enjoy and exchange information. After everyone drank a lot and became drunk, a one-eyed captain said mysteriously to the other three:
"And, it is said that not long ago, when the British Caribbean fleet went to fight, dozens of warships, large and small, were wiped out!"
“…”
"Occupy Port Royal? And wiped out the Caribbean Fleet? How is this possible? When did this happen? Which country did it?"
A bearded captain next to him wiped a handful of wine stuck to his beard and asked in shock.
He had just smuggled a batch of spices and Eastern specialty silk from East India to sell them on Turtle Island, making a huge profit.
While gaining huge benefits, the several months of sea navigation also made his news extremely blocked. After all, in this era when there was no radio and intelligence was transmitted entirely by people and ships, he could not receive any information at all when he was smuggling at sea.
Besides, he did not dare to do stupid things like docking at the official port for supplies or inquire about information. Once he entered the official port, those vampire-like port officials had to force him to pay a huge tax after seeing his goods!
"I also vaguely heard someone talk about what you said. Could it be that the Spanish navy did it? They declared war on Britain again?"
Another bald Frenchman next to him also came up, the owner of an armed merchant ship.
Although he is nominally engaged in normal specialty trade, the other two people at the same table know that this guy is just a cruel and ruthless bastard!
As long as he encounters a slightly weaker merchant ship in a remote area on the sea, he can immediately open the cannon door, change his flag, and then turn around and become a professional pirate ship. Moreover, what's even more terrifying is that after he succeeds, he never leaves a living!
"Except for the Spaniards, I'm afraid few countries dare to attack the British, right?"
The bald man had only heard the words of this news. He had always guessed that it was done by the Spanish, because in the Caribbean Sea, the only one who had the ability to compete with the British Caribbean fleet was the Spanish, and other countries were not enough to watch!
In his opinion, even if he gathered all the pirate ships in the Caribbean, he might not be brave enough to fight against the British navy, right?
"No! You guessed it wrong, it was not done by the Spanish! The little power of the Spanish in the Caribbean is not enough for the British to deal with it! Let's do you think about it?"
The one-eyed captain cracked his yellow teeth and looked proudly at the curious two people.
Obviously, they don’t know about this news yet. So, he seems to be able to use this news to get a free meal of wine to drink?
"Not Spanish? Is it the Dutch? This is impossible! They don't have the courage! As for us French, that's even more impossible!"
The bald man thought about it, but still couldn't guess it.
When the most likely Spanish was denied, he really couldn't think of which country had the courage to do such a big thing? As for whether it was possible that a big pirate did it, he didn't think about it at all.
She knew very well about the situation of the pirates! They could only grab merchant ships at sea and have to play with them on land to fight with the regular army? Haha, this is not funny at all!
"Don't talk too much, hurry up and tell me what? Who did it?"
The bearded captain drank the rum in the wine glass, patted the table, signaling the bartender to continue serving the wine, and then looked at the one-eyed dragon opposite the table with dissatisfaction.
It's just an interesting news. As for what's hidden? It's not a profitable deal, so there's no need to sway the two of them like this.
"Haha! You must not think of it, right?"
After the one-eyed dragon smiled proudly again, he secretly came over to the two of them.
"I tell you, in fact, this is a witch! The witch did it! And..."
After seeing that neither of them could guess, Captain One-Eyed did not keep it too much, and quickly smiled and said the news he knew.
He was not sure when he heard all this. For this reason, he specially asked his boat to travel to Port Royal and witnessed it with his own eyes!
"Witch? You must be joking, this is completely impossible!"
After hearing this, the bearded man who was already full of anticipation grabbed a large bottle of rum and filled his cup, he waved his hand and interrupted what the one-eyed dragon was going to say next.
In his opinion, witches and other things can only play with animal internal organs and venom, and then pretend to be strange, or curse to cheat money! If you are a little more powerful, you may be able to predict some future things? Pretend to play with some crystal balls? That's the end, right?
Still wanting to conquer cities and destroy a fleet? This is completely impossible!
"Ha! That's right. It's impossible for some witch to do it. You must be joking, right?"
When the bald man heard this, he shook his head, leaned on his chair, shook his head and smiled at the one-eyed dragon.
He knew the most powerful witch, the one named Tiya Doma?
But even the witch named Tiya Doma was just talking all day long, and she didn't see how powerful she was, but she could just fiddle with some witchcraft that he couldn't understand.
It is said that there is a powerful existence sealed in her body? However, this is just a legend, not necessarily true.
As for other witches, the bald guys think that at most they just dissect the frogs and then predict some unreliable things or sea conditions based on their internal organs. At most they are just that!
Otherwise, over the years, the church would not have easily burned so many witches. Those burned witches did not even have the power to resist the persecution of the church. What would they use to fight against the regular army with muskets, cannons and giant ships?
"I really didn't lie to you! I dare to swear in the name of God!"
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, the one-eyed dragon became anxious and quickly sweared.
"And, all this is what I have seen with my own eyes! Including how they defeated the coming British Royal Fleet of the Caribbean! Because, I was in Port Royal at that time, I saw everything with my own eyes, I swear!"
"Besides, how can such a thing be done? It will definitely spread throughout the Caribbean Sea in a while!"
When I remembered the situation when I saw those witches, the one-eyed dragon's face changed, and it was full of solemnity.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he wouldn't have easily believed that a group of witches actually had such terrifying means, right? Especially their leader, who is named Charlotte? Not only is the other party beautiful, but when he flew up and launched an attack, the terrifying power was something he could never imagine before!
"No, right? Witch...how is this possible?"
After the bald man and the bearded man looked at each other, he began to sit up slowly and approached again.
"Then tell us what was going on at that time?"
The two of them still couldn't understand the fact that the witch could capture a city and annihilate a fleet. This matter was unreliable just by listening to it...
"Hehe! Let me tell you, at that time, I had just arrived at Port Royal and had just gotten off the ship. Before I made up my mind whether to take over the procurement mission issued by the witch, the British Caribbean fleet came. The scene was really spectacular!"
One-eyed dragon began to talk about the situation that day, which was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
"That's a dozen warships... At that time, I almost thought that the ship I parked in the port must be finished! But how could I think...uh?"
One-eyed dragon burped and was about to pick up the wine glass and continue to drink a few sips, but he found that his own acorn cup had already been empty.
"Quick! Tell us a good story!"
When I heard the key, the bald man, who was so itchy, stood up attentively, picked up the wine bottle and filled the cup for the one-eyed dragon, hoping that the other party would continue what had just happened.
"That's right! It's best to say it in detail, starting from when you went to Port Royal, and I've invited the money for this wine!"
The bearded captain patted his chest boldly and threw two golden coins onto the table very generously.
He just sniffed a trace of business opportunity from the words of the one-eyed dragon!
If everything is true, those witches will actually issue procurement tasks?
When it comes to buying things, or smuggling, it is his old job! He needs to have a good understanding of the witches who occupied Port Royal and defeated the Royal Navy, and then find an opportunity to see if he can make money?
If he could make money by traveling near the Caribbean Sea, he would not be willing to go to the trend of ocean trade, which would be like a life-threatening business! Those who have not personally traveled across the sea will never be able to imagine what kind of despair it would be when facing storms or various disasters at the sea!
