Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 66: Macaw

   This large-scale vampire bat attack caused heavy losses for the expedition.

   Four people fell into the water one after another. Seven others were injured in varying degrees without falling into the water, including Acharin.

   falls into the water or not seems to be the criterion for judging the severity of the injury.

   Because people who did not fall into the water are generally not seriously injured, and those who fall into the water...

   Two of the four died due to excessive blood loss. When the other two were picked up, they had more air intake and less air. At first glance, the medicine stone was ineffective, and there was only one step away from death.

  The injury was so severe, mainly because the saliva of the vampire bat contained hemolytic enzyme.

  This special enzyme kills platelets in large quantities, prevents blood clotting, and facilitates smoking.

   Their alienated fangs and foraging habits are good at tearing huge wounds near blood vessels, further accelerating the flow of blood.

   This two-phase combination, everyone knows that even if Lorraine immediately suspends the expedition and sends them back to the Pansy, they will not survive tonight.

   After obtaining their consent, Lorraine ordered the people to end their lives and collect the relics, while the corpses sank into the sea to go to the home of every sailor.

   This funeral casts a shadow on everyone's heart. The team lost their sporadic laughter. After more than half an hour of silence and stability, they finally heard the sound of the waves hitting the shore.

   Shore waves represented them at the end of the waterway.

   "Retract the oars!" Lorraine's voice echoed in the deep and gloomy waterway, arousing echoes, and reaching everyone's ears.

   Lorraine stood up, walked straight to the bow on the swaying plank, raised the torch and shook it against the tall black shadow in front of him a few times.

   "This is... a sailboat?"

   They found a Brig sailing boat at the end of the waterway...

   Standard double-masted frigate with horizontal sails, 30 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 5.5 meters high.

   Her double-sided artillery door closed tightly, moored at the end of the undulating dark waterway, like a silent beast, lying at the entrance of hell.

   This made Lorraine lose his thoughts for a while.

   Standard sailing is a fashion that only emerged after the maturity of the battleship classification system. Its origin can only be traced back to the mid-17th century. The war for maritime hegemony between Britain and the Netherlands lasted for several years, and its history is not very long.

   In that era, the battleship Chi Bo of Britain and the Netherlands went into battle, looting the opponent's merchant ships frantically in the vast sea, in order to cut off the opponent's trade route.

   Merchant ships can only maintain trade under the **** of warships.

   In order to adapt to the speed and formation of the full-equipped sail warship, the merchants were forced to abandon the original style of mass-material shipbuilding, and quickly formed a new standard for shipbuilding that is as uniform as possible for offshore merchant ships and ocean-going merchant ships.

   From then on, the term "standard size" began to appear.

   A modern-built Brig frigate suddenly appeared in a 9th-century treasure cave, and its side lights were all out, looking empty...

   Lorraine couldn't help licking his lips.

   "Look at the side. Noah and I boarded the ship first, Henna was behind, and Acharin was in charge of the sailors."

   He ordered softly.

   The two small boats leaned together, the four sailors jumped to the front boat, and Noah and Hina switched to the back boat.

   They approached carefully from the left and right sides, and threw the hooks.

   Lorraine was the first to board the ship from the port side.

   After a while, Noah also boarded from the starboard side. The two guarded each other back and forth, exploring the cabin at the fastest speed, but no one was found.

   Everything was neatly stored, the anchor chain was corroded, and the four-pound, six-pound, and nine-pound cannons were packed in tarpaulins in the gun bay.

   There is no one, there are no living people, dead people, or skeletons.

   Lorraine found a privateer permit in the bulkhead of the captain's cabin, which was issued by the Kingdom of Ireland in 1659 and granted Captain John Nasbolt a privateer permit.

  All the mysteries are solved...

   Lorraine took Noah back to the deck and signaled both sides.

   The sailors boarded the ship under the leadership of the seamen, gathered around Lorraine, waiting for orders.

   Lorraine’s voice sounded particularly low: "Search the entire ship carefully. This is the Macaw, the flagship of which John Nasbolt disappeared, the Macaw..."

  ...

   The unmanned cabin is naturally easy to search, not to mention that the sailors participating in the expedition are the best on the Lorraine ship.

  The condition of the ship and various discoveries converged in front of Lorraine.

   This ship is indeed the Irish expedition ship Macaw that disappeared in the Atlantic a hundred years ago. It is a standard Brig and full-mounted brig sail.

   Her ship material is expensive military ship material, century-old oak.

   The cave is a peculiar environment with high ammonia, and ammonia is corrosive to wood. What is strange is that even if it has not been repaired for hundreds of years, the material and keel of this ship are old and not decayed, and are well preserved.

   However, her sails, cables and rubber are still completely weathered, and she needs to go through tedious and meticulous care if she wants to travel in the ocean again.

   In addition, 28 artillery guns are in good condition. Most of them are small caliber guns that were popular a hundred years ago. The main battles are nine pounds and six pounds, and the main deck and bow guns are even the four-pound guns that were eliminated early.

   The four anchors were completely destroyed, and the winch and iron chain rusted into a lumps. If you want to sail the ship, you can only find a way to discard the anchors.

   Lorraine was basically certain that the crew of the Macaw left the ship with sufficient preparation.

  Because every cabin is neatly arranged, important items such as charts, captain's diary, octant, and nautical compass are all packed in tarpaulin and stored carefully.

  The sailors also found gold, silver and copper coins worth about 18 pounds. Lorraine didn't ask for a penny, and directly distributed it to the sailors of the expedition.

   In addition, they also found a closed seaman’s cabin belonging to the assault captain who died during the voyage. His weapons during his lifetime were collected as relics, including two Dublin short muskets and a high-quality silver stinging sword.

   They became Acharin's first harvest, and Acharin smiled.

   One hundred years of loneliness, there are only so many things that can be used on the boat, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Lorraine makes a lot of money.

   First of all, Lorraine can drag it out of the sea cave. As for whether it can be brought back to Southampton, it depends on whether Karen can restore her ability of HNA under the existing conditions.

   Next is the chart. Nasbalt’s chart has a mature high-latitude transatlantic route from Ireland to West Indies, waiting for Lorraine to open a new continent route.

   The third is Nasbalt’s voyage diary.

   Leaving aside the secret words, Lorraine saw the complete narrative of Hebasil's expedition in his diary.

   Nasbalt and his crew have visited the island twice, not only exploring the whole island, but also seeing the ancient treasures in the sea cave with their own eyes.

   He called the sea cave "a wizard who likes to give gold coins to sailors."

   But the wizard is not as friendly as he preached.

   When he landed for the first time, his ship rioted due to uneven distribution of the spoils. Nasbalt was lucky enough to suppress the riot and killed many people, and he was seriously injured as a result.

   The hard-lost Macaw lost the ability to continue to explore, and had to leave the island with full of regrets and numerous scars, until it revisited the place two years later.

   The diary ends here abruptly.

  Nasbalt did not record the results of the second exploration in it, but the Macaw has lurked in the sea cave like a ghost for a hundred years, and has revealed the results of the second exploration to Lorraine.

   Annihilated...

   Lorraine closed the diary, tightened the tarpaulin, Hina looked at him with emerald eyes, her eyes full of exploration.

"From here you can directly enter the treasure land. It is well-preserved, dry and enclosed." Lorraine pondered for a moment and whispered to Henna, "There may be a huge unknown risk on the road. Nasbalt brought in forty sailors. , But none of them came out."
