"Huh?" Fang Sheyan, who was relaxed, suddenly looked up at the dark sky, and a gentle wind brushed his cheek. Fang Senyan couldn't help but took a deep breath, feeling a moist and wild breath in the sea breeze blowing. For Sheyan who has stayed on the ship for more than seven or eight years, this feeling is very familiar, it is the harbinger of the impending hurricane. But around Hope Island, there is no safe haven!
Obviously, Fang Senyan was not the only one who felt that the storm was coming. Almost in an instant, the pirate ships moored around Hope Island sounded various unique horn sounds, either thick or shrill, or short or long, calling the pirates on the island to return. According to Sheyan's experience, the hurricane is at least half an hour away from here. If they set sail with the wind, they will have no problem returning to the excellent safe haven of Tutuga Port. But the premise is that the delay here cannot exceed ten minutes, otherwise, it is easy to be overtaken by the hurricane from behind, causing the tragedy of ship destruction and death.
Sheyan let out a long breath of air. The people who came to receive the goods from the Port of Turtuga should have noticed that Lady Cattery Falk was missing, but they obviously haven't found the lady's body yet, otherwise they would never have been so quiet, they would have It is impossible to hoist the bloody flag and fire the cannon to find the murderer with great fanfare. But this well-timed hurricane undoubtedly forced their search work to be interrupted and return to the port of Tutuga! Otherwise, the ship full of acquired stolen goods is likely to capsize on the sea. For the Fokker family, which is in a precarious state, this is even a major event that may shake the foundation of the family, so no one can afford this responsibility.
Then, the search for Mrs. Carter Falk may be forced to be suspended as a matter of course, and it will not be able to resume until the hurricane subsides and the sea calms down. This is at least two or three days later. For Fang Senyan, this is very good news. I believe that even if he left any clues, it will be washed away in the violent tropical hurricane shower in the Caribbean Sea, and Mr. Jack Sparrow will give it away. The necklace left by her grandmother will not disappear in the short term-this is enough.
As the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions. When Fang Sheyan hurried back to the Bell and Wine Glass, it was also the time when the drunken pirates on the ship were running around like headless chickens—because the high-level officers on the ship For example, Scar Henry, Charles, and even Armand, probably all got drunk because they made a lot of money at the high-level meeting of the pirates, and snored heavily in the cabin, so they He knocked on the door so loudly that he couldn't hear it. The new second long-legged Robben is sober, but he is mediocre and has no prestige. He shouted beside him until his voice became hoarse, but he helped more and more. Some drunken pirates even danced the horn flute next to him. dance.
After seeing this situation, Sheyan grimaced and strode up the steps. Anyone who dared to stand in the way, anyone who was still drinking and crazy, was picked up or kicked by him, and they all screamed and were thrown away. Going down to the sea, the appearance is very similar to the situation of putting dumplings in the pot. Of course, these pirates are water proficient and cannot be drowned, but it is inevitable to suffer after drinking a few mouthfuls of seawater. The whole family of the guy, the women, and the guy below him tried their best to find some common connection, but once they found out that the culprit was Sheyan, they shut up obediently with an embarrassed face. Muttering a few words of defamation.
Soon, the order on the ship became orderly. Fang Senyan walked around on the ship, yelling and cursing at these murderous guys to make assignments. He climbed to the side of the sailor and patted his shoulders to encourage him, and from time to time he kicked and cursed at the pirates passing by in a hurry. Strange to say, the pirates who were kicked into the water were bored, but they still liked Sheyan's way of working. His work efficiency was unprecedentedly fast. It took less than ten minutes for the Bell and Wine Cup to be the first. One set sail first.
At this time, the precursor of the hurricane is already very obvious, and there is even rumbling thunder in the distance. If it is daytime, you can definitely see the depressing scene of "black clouds overwhelm the city and the city is about to be destroyed". The four-corner sail lifted from the mainmast has eaten enough wind, and it looks extremely full and swollen, providing sufficient power. This pointed and long sailboat rides the wind and waves at an astonishing speed, flying towards the earth like a light flying fish. Port Tuga sailed back. Such a fast speed is not much better than the Black Pearl, the king of speed in the Caribbean Sea.
"Ammand seems to have found a good navigator?" Several pirate captains looked at the sails of the Bell and Wineglass and murmured.
Less than an hour and a half later, the outline of the towering cliff outside Tutuga Harbor, which looked like a giant's arm, appeared in front of everyone. The light of the lighthouse used for piloting is also vague, like a candle that will be extinguished at any time in the wind. The turbulence of the sea can already be clearly felt, as if the entire Caribbean Sea has formed a whole and is rippling, full of irresistible majesty. Even though there was no command of the navigator, Sheyan still deftly yelled at the sailors at the helm to get into the safe haven, which undoubtedly added a bit of mystery to Sheyan among these pirates.
For these murderous pirates, guiding the ship into the waterway and docking smoothly in the dark is already an unspoken secret that belongs to the navigator. As long as one wants to learn basic things, they can be easily mastered. For Fang Sheyan, who aspires to become the first officer or even the captain of a 10,000-ton giant ship, it is a kind of compulsory course.
As the returning pirate ships entered the port one after another, the hurricane followed closely and set off huge waves as high as seven or eight meters on the sea. Just looking at it is also shocking. Even though the ship was moored in a good safe harbor, and even with heavy anchors at the bow and stern, it felt as if the sea was roaring furiously, as if even the entire port of Tutuga was about to turn upside down. At this time, the North Sea three-masted square-sail ship sent by the Port of Turtuga to buy the stolen goods was also staggering and struggling to return, but its condition was obviously quite bad, and the mainmast was obviously damaged by the excessive wind. It was cut off, and the two triangular side sails beside it were also torn by the strong wind, and they were crazily rolling in the air. Looking at the desolate appearance, it seemed that they would sink in the next second.
Sheyan stood at the bow of the boat, but beckoned to Robben and said:
"Get me a sampan, I'm going ashore."
Robben said in amazement:
"Bosun, the bars look like they're closed."
Sheyan said lightly:
"Can't you knock the door open? And I don't like staying on the boat and sleeping in such a big storm."
Robben shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Your will will be carried out immediately."
Sheyan nodded, and went back to the cabin to get some things. After a quarter of an hour, he stood on the pier of Tutuga Port. Although the hurricane seemed to be turning the world upside down, with the return of the pirates, several bars in the port opened their doors to do their business, and dim lights struggled to shoot out from the cracks in the doors. Sheyan was not in a hurry to enter the bar, but came to the beach after checking the time.
The sea was turbulent and churning, and the huge deep black waves slapped heavily on the thick breakwater, and then burst into thousands of splashes. You could even clearly feel the iron-blue reef under your feet vibrating slightly. Such a situation is naturally extremely shocking to people who grew up inland, but it is commonplace for Fang Senyan. He folded his hands on his chest and quietly stood on the breakwater and waited.
Before leaving the port, Sheyan obtained a hidden mission from Kerry, and the follow-up of this mission was obtained from that stingy grocery store manager Moghul. He also got the benefits of a few glasses of golden rum there, and in the end the old man gave him a fragment of a crystal ball, and when he put it in the water, he got the following prompt:
When the clock strikes midnight, the wailing of the undead will be restored to reality, the dust of history will be erased, and the truth will be revealed soon.
At this time, the seaside where Fang Senyan stayed was exactly the place where he put the crystal ball fragments into the seawater during the day. With the arrival of twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a little silver light began to shine on the sea here, as if the bright moonlight had fallen down, but the light gave people a deep and cold feeling, just like It was as if he wanted to suck the life out of the living. Where the silver light shone, the sea also calmed down strangely, only slightly rippling, while the violent wind and huge waves seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to make any more waves.
