Facing what Fang Senyan said, Hei Fan thought for a while and said:
"I can only say that this is a reasonable and bold speculation, my lord."
Sheyan looked at the black sail and thought for a while:
"But you haven't told me the most important thing, the name and purpose of this fruit."
Hei Fan showed an embarrassing expression on his face and said:
"I've already told you everything I know. After all, I'm just a pirate. My lord, oh yes, it's a very rare seed, and it should fetch a good price in Tetuga."
Sheyan smiled:
"But I think your knowledge seems to be very profound. It's like an alchemist."
Hei Fan's expression became even more embarrassed:
"Actually, I was just a servant before... a very lowly kind. I had the good fortune to live for five years under the patronage of little Lord Fokker in the Port of Turtuga. During that time I overheard at a great alchemist I got some knowledge, and fortunately, I seem to be able to master it successfully. This is the origin of my ability you can see, but with the ruin of Turtuga Port, the alchemist seems to have died, I In order to survive, I have to become a pirate."
Sheyan said with great interest:
"What is the name of that great alchemist?"
"Master Bacon—may his soul rest in peace." Hei Fan said respectfully.
Sheyan wondered:
"How did he die? Even if he was a pirate, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to offend his majesty."
Black Sail shrugged and said:
"Before the turmoil, the master was summoned into the castle by the lord. When he left, he took almost all the treasures with him, because it was said that he was going to perform a ritual related to the soul. I still remember that before he left, he told me to prepare dinner— Lamb chops with black pepper half-rare—otherwise I'll be rewarded with a whip. It's a pity that I made a delicious dinner ahead of time, and the master never came back."
Then Sheyan continued to talk with Heifan for a while, and he had a general grasp of the situation in Tutujia Port which was completely deserted at this time, and then let him leave. Without Fang Sheyan's instructions, all the pirates automatically took their positions after sailing out of the Sargasso Sea area. The Sam raised its own sails, tore the sponge at a very high speed, and sailed away with the wind and waves!
When people see the foaming waves roll up heavily and hit the thick gray-black rocks on the shore, it means that Tetuga is close to you.
Compared with the previous Port of Tutuga, this place is even more advantageous.
If you look down from a high altitude, the island presents a very standard C shape. There is only an entrance less than 200 meters away. In the circular bay protected by a huge black rock mountain, you can park under seven masts. ship.
What's even more impressive is that even in front of the only bay entrance in the letter C, there is actually a huge black triangular reef standing majestically, which means that even if a typhoon comes, it is difficult for the stormy waves outside to affect the bay The peace and quiet in it.
Compared with the former Lord Fokke who monopolized the Port of Tutuga, behind this emerging neutral port, it seems to be supported by several forces. After Sheyan and the others saw the iconic triangular black giant reef, they even heard the sound of "popping" coming from the brightly lit port in the distance.
A former Royal Fleet sailor said doubtfully:
"Are they setting off fireworks to welcome us?"
The old sea dog just heard this sentence, bared his yellow teeth and said with a smile:
"No, they're shooting. Tertuga is a city of chaos and wealth and freedom."
Almost all the former Royal Fleet sailors shrugged their shoulders, expressing their incomprehension.
Because Sheyan and the others' ships were standard warships of the British Navy, when they approached the entrance of the narrow bay, they received a burst of violent bombardment as a baptism. Fortunately, veteran pirates who had been here before went to negotiate in lifeboats. After those guys saw the pirate flag hanging above the ship clearly, they sent people up to check it, and then let it go smoothly—of course, It is in the case of paying the transaction fee for entering the port.
In addition, they also registered the trading intentions of Fang Senyan and his group, such as what they wanted to sell, what they wanted to buy, and so on. In a word, it is that although the "customs" procedures at this port are simple, they are not sloppy.
When the "Sam" successfully docked at the shore, Fang Senyan calculated the time, and there were still three hours before dawn, which meant that the budgeted time left for them was quite sufficient.
In order to avoid some accidents, Sheyan ordered all the pirates to wait on the boat, the three of them plus Camby. Because this guy has been here once before, and he knows a lot about Tetuga, and Canby's force cannot be ignored at this time.
If something happens while they are away, Philip and the old sea dog will negotiate to resolve it, and they will announce free activities after they come back.
Although Fang Senyan's decision at this time was somewhat unreasonable, his power had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the pirates could only obey Ling Ran. When Fang Sheyan and the others set foot on the land of Tetuga, they immediately received a reminder from the nightmare mark:
"You have set foot on the pirate port: the land of Tertuga."
"Main task: set sail completed."
"You will be rewarded with 1500 universal points."
"Your meritorious service value +1."
"Hint: You arrived at Tertuga Port before 8:00 am."
"You have successfully activated the conditions for hiding the main mission."
"Do you want to activate the hidden main quest? (Warning, choosing this will make your next adventure experience more difficult, and you will no longer be able to accept the normal follow-up main quest.)"
The three of Sheyan and Sheyan looked at each other and briefly discussed with each other. They all felt that there should be no big problem, so they chose to hide the mission.
And Jiaoshi waited for Sheyan and the others to get the mission reward first, and confirmed that the reward for this mission was not rich, so he was not in a hurry to awaken the hunters, continue to accept the mission, and further continue to suppress the difficulty of the mission. However, after the weakening of the space, the reef's main quest reward only received 300 utility points. Fortunately, that little merit point has not shrunk.
A series of prompts followed quickly:
"You have activated the hidden main mission: Inflection Point."
"In Tetuga at this time, it can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Some seemingly down-and-out guys actually hide many secrets. You can find out a lot of valuable information from the mouth of the bartender in the Gray Pigeon Hotel in the port. clues."
At this moment, Fang Senyan and the three of them naturally told the location to Canby who was leading the way, and asked him to rush over with the three of them against time. Along the way, the population of Tetuga was quite large, and it was also quite chaotic. The port of Turtuga, ruled by Lord Clark, was tightly organized, but there was a kind of rude and indecent exuberant vitality that only pirates had.
The four of them walked on the streets of Tetuga for a short while. Those random buildings looked like moles' nests. Dirty people ran rampant in the streets, and some people would be beaten up from time to time. Prostitutes lure customers with cheap long skirts and cheap makeup. Their make-up is as horrible as the current clowns. Too red lips or too white makeup, the city seems to be covered with a thick layer of dust.
Suddenly, the black buddies poked their hands to the back, and grabbed a hand that was stretched out into their pockets. The owner of the hand was a homeless man in ragged clothes. The tattoo of the iron anchor on his chest could tell that he was an unemployed man. pirate.
The homeless man who was caught did not have the slightest sense of shame and awareness of being a thief. Instead, he held the dagger with his other hand and aimed at Mogansha, obviously planning to steal if he failed.
Since this is the case, the black buddy is not polite at all, and twisted his hand clockwise until the bones of the guy's arm made a crisp sound of "snap", and then in the midst of his screams open.
Just as the thief/robber who was sweating from pain raised his head and looked at him with resentful eyes, the black buddies took out a wasp pistol and blasted him on the head very cleanly, directly using blood and cruelty to show that they also Not someone to mess with, no doubt, this move has deterred at least seven or eight guys who wanted to come and make trouble.
Obviously, in this chaotic port, merchants who have no ability to protect themselves will definitely not be able to get away. As long as you don't go to trouble with the store, then everything is allowed. Perhaps it is this place with a high degree of freedom that makes the pirates feel comfortable. From this point of view, Tertuga's abnormal prosperity is definitely not unreasonable.
The Gray Pigeon Bar is not too difficult to find. There are only wooden tables near the wall. The craftsmanship of these tables looks very simple, but they all have one thing in common: they are solid, strong, and cannot be moved. Sheyan even noticed that Drinking cups are also made of wood.
The lights in the bar were dim, and the white candles on the candlesticks seemed to be going out in a second. As soon as he entered the bar, the inside of Lao Jiu's nose was cleaned by the sea breeze outside, and he was infused with a smell of foot odor, alcohol, and sweat mixed together. The temperature inside the bar should be five or six degrees higher than outside. There is a lot of voices, some people are crying, some people are laughing, some drunks are fighting with strangers, and there is an endless stream of crackling fists and feet .
