Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 57: Hebasil Island

   In 1579, Sir Herrera of Aviles, Spain, crossed the Atlantic on his beloved crocodile, and went to the fertile New World as the governor of Honduras.

   As a result, after only half a year of a happy life, he got an infectious disease.

Under the leadership of Captain Mikel Arteta, the Shallowwater Crocodile returned to China for treatment with the sick Jazz. Encountered in a storm on the way, it not only broke the sailing compass, but also deviated from the course. On a foggy day, it accidentally sailed in. This weird foggy area.

  Lorraine suspected that the boatman had offended the gods and Buddhas all over the sky...

   They lost their way in the foggy area and struggled to survive. Sir Herrera’s infectious disease broke out on the ship again. They experienced a long period of pain and eventually claimed the lives of all the people on the ship.

   That's why there are so few bones on the ship.

   People who died early and dying were thrown into the sea by those who had enough energy, and those who were weak were abandoned by those who were strong.

  The people on the boat are getting less and less, and those who abandon others suffer from fear and despair that are far longer than those of the abandoned. In the midst of loneliness, guilt and cursing, they welcome the final death.

   Lorraine silently read all the non-coded parts in the diary.

   The first half was high-spirited and recorded the voyage of the Shallowwater Crocodile across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. The second half became increasingly scribbled. They carried patients back home, encountered storms, diseases, fell into the foggy area, and murdered the crew...

   Captain Arteta cursed his employer Sir Herrera extensively in his diary.

It was the selfish and crazy nobleman who ordered the abandonment of the first batch of living people. This ocean-going warship, which originally had 80 excellent sailors and undamaged its hull, lost the chance of the last fight among the betrayal and cannibalism. .

   And Sir Herrera did not get a good death.

   After two loyal and powerful musket guards fell ill, the three masters and slaves were cruelly exiled to a small boat by the last crew members, without water, waiting to die.

   "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end..." Lorraine murmured closed the diary, looked up and said to Noya and Hina, "No wonder the captain and the navigator live in the lower cabin. It turns out that this ship is carrying honorable guests."

   "Passenger?"

   "Yes, Sir Herrera of Aviles lives in the upper cabin with his two escorts."

   "Avilés... Herrera?" Noya looked weird, "I remember..."

   Lorraine smiled and raised the diary in his hand.

   "The Herrera Chamber of Commerce, a close alliance of the Desai Chamber of Commerce, is the Chamber of Commerce in Aviles. This diary can discredit their family and is the most precious gift left by Captain Arteta."

   Lorraine's words made Hina curious: "What's written in it?"

"A despicable murder." Lorraine re-wrapped the diary and tightened the straps. "Sir Herrera forced the captain to murder about twenty sick crew members. Out of guilt, Captain Arteta took everything The details are recorded."

   "It's a baby." Hannah concisely put down the attributive.

   This diary turned the Shallowwater Crocodile from a broken ship into a treasure ship.

   came out of the captain's cabin, they went to the upper floor, and found a family crest ring inlaid with rubies in the jazz cabin, and a small box of about three hundred pistols.

   Pistor is a gold coin minted in Spain, equivalent to the British pound, but it is rare now.

   The Spaniards now prefer small eight-character gold coins and Spanish gold dollars. Pistol has become less circulating, and increasingly has a premium for collections.

   Just find the right buyer, a Pistor can sell for about two to three pounds.

   Compared with the sailing diary of Mr. Captain, these things can only be regarded as small gains.

   The three returned with loads of loads. The sailors untied the ropes to the Shallow Crocodile and watched the ghost ship in the fog area disappear into the fog again, continuing its never-ending wandering.

   The atmosphere on the ship is very depressing.

   Lorraine called his crew together and had a short meeting by the hole in the bow.

   "We found Mr. Arteta's voyage diary on the Shallow Water Crocodile. According to his guess, this is probably Hebasil."

   "Hebasi?"

   The expressions of the sailors were completely different. Henna, Noya and Pierce looked confused, while Karen and Acharin, who were tied to the stern, were full of horror.

  He Brazil is the name of a mysterious island, which has been circulated in the conversations of ocean sailors since 1325.

   In the earliest days, people guessed that it was a new continent at the end of the ocean. When Columbus discovered the new continent, it became a lonely island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

  The isolated island was said to have prevailed in Europe from the 15th to the 17th centuries. There is a label about Hebasil Island in "The Mirror of the Sailor", which is located in the mid-latitude waters more west than Iceland, but it was soon proved to be wrong.

   In 1674, John Nasbalt, an adventurer from Kilbergs, Ireland, claimed to have found and landed on Hebassi Island.

   He said that there is a male wizard living on the island who keeps a black rabbit as big as a mountain as a pet, and he likes to give out gold coins to lucky sailors.

   But he did not announce the location of the island, and the sailors and sailors on the ship did not respond directly to his claims.

   Two years later, his ship, the Macaw, disappeared in the North Atlantic. Some people say that they went to Hebassi again and were left by the wizards on the island.

  Lorraine has always sneered at the legend of Hebassi, but what if... what John Nasbalt said is true?

   He briefly introduced the history of Hebasil Island to the seamen, and the seamen frowned deeply.

   Henna stared at Lorraine's eyes: "Are you going to explore the foggy area?"

   Lorraine was holding the compass, UU reading www.uukānshu.com shrugged: "We are heading west."

   "Turn around?"

"It turned. We rushed into the foggy area from the northeast, drifted southward at first, and now drifted westward. The Shallowwater Crocodile has drifted in this small area for two hundred years and has not been able to leave. This shows that we are in On a closed loop."

Lorraine circled the hole and looked at the center of the hole inexplicably: "If this is really Hebasil Island, then the island must be in the center of the circulation, otherwise the closed loop will be opened, the ocean current will be chaotic, and it will not be so stable. "

   "The wizard who gave gold coins..." He smiled and looked up at his seamen, "Gentlemen and ladies, do you want to be a guest at the wizard's house?"

  ...

   This is not too difficult to make a decision, because they are in a bad situation now.

   Nearly a thousand kilometers away from the mainland, the watertight cabin is seeping water, and there may be murderers waiting for them outside the foggy area.

   Everyone knows in their hearts that if they can’t get to the shore for repairs in a short time, the chances of them returning to England safely will be close to zero.

   In contrast, the risk of exploring the unknown is much smaller, at least, they can see the opportunity to live.

   In order to survive, choose adventure.

   In order to boost the morale of the sailors, Lorraine took out the Pistor found from the Shallow Water Crocodile, and gave each sailor a bonus, two for each.

   Six to ten pounds are equivalent to their monthly salary. This unexpected joy made the sailors rejoice and invigorated.

   Just amidst the laughter, Lorraine announced the news of Hebasil, which was unanimously supported by the entire ship.

   The butterfly flower got busy. She twisted the bow slowly and firmly, cutting across the circulation, and sailing all the way north to the unknown depths of the sea of ​​fog.
