Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 2: Profligate Merchants!

Chapter 2 Profiteers!

When Fang Senyan identified the three legendary pirate ships, the clear reminder of the nightmare mark rang in his ears:

"Time: May 233, Ocean Calendar, 17:00 p.m."

"Location: Freeport of Tortuga, Adriatic Sea, Europe (17 degrees 19 minutes south latitude, 51 degrees 4 minutes east longitude)"

"Scene: Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Difficulty: Easy (D level)."

"Pain reduction: 50."

"Personal ability additional enhancement: 0."

"Current scene exploration: 0.00."

"Additional note: This scene is a peaceful scene. The contractor will not drop any items when killed, and the digital character information module is turned on at the same time. The contractor can use the chest Nightmare Mark can check personal attributes at any time. "

"You will automatically master the relevant language and can interact with the characters in this world smoothly. Forget it after leaving this world."

"Number of tasks accepted: 1."

"Your appearance/identity has been processed and will be automatically restored when you return to the real world. You can also make relevant adjustments to your appearance in the nightmare space. If you have any questions, you can silently recite the relevant questions in your mind and query them through the nightmare mark. If the authority is reached, you can get the answer. "

Fang Senyan looked around and found that the surrounding weeds were desolate, and most of the sheds were rotten and dilapidated. There were no signs of people living inside. It seemed that the only contractor who appeared nearby was himself.

He also tried to collect a lot of information in the space, and he also had some understanding of the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. The three legendary ships, the Queen Anne's Revenge, the Black Pearl, and the Flying Dutchman, were peacefully docked together. It must be an event that shocked the seven seas. This scene did not appear in the movie at all! Then the time period when he cut into the movie was either before all the stories in the movie happened, or after all the stories in the movie happened!

In the original plot of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, since Will Turner replaced Davy Jones as the captain of the Flying Dutchman, this guy only had a chance to go ashore once every ten years. I believe he would spend this rare opportunity once in ten years on having sex with his wife/hugging his children instead of going for a ride in this seemingly not very prosperous harbor... Then everything is about to come out. The time period when Fang Senyan entered the movie world should be before all the stories in the movie happened!

As usual, Fang Senyan checked his things. In addition to his fixed equipment, he also had a purse on him - unfortunately, he could only prefix it with adjectives such as "shrunken", "light", and "dirty".

Two pounds, fifteen shillings and seven pence (1 pound, 20 shillings and 12 pence)

This is the start-up capital given to Fang Senyan by the nightmare space. Through the milestone description, you can also get a price information: a large cup of rum costs about 4.5 shillings. As a common drink in the Caribbean, rum can be equated with the beer in the real world where Fang Senyan came from. In this way, Fang Senyan's purchasing power is clear at a glance. A large cup of draft beer costs 20 yuan and 4 shillings, and 1 shilling is 5 yuan. Fang Senyan's starting capital here is about 250 to 300 yuan - well, the only good news is: it seems that this time the space is much more generous in terms of starting capital than the Terminator world.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Flying Dutchman and the Queen Anne's Revenge were already pirate ships, but the Black Pearl was still an armed merchant ship with a letter of marque under the British East India Trading Company - you can understand that its main function is to sell goods, but once it encounters a fat sheep, it will never let it go.

And several years later, Jack Sparrow was later ordered to transport a batch of goods from Africa. But Jack discovered that this batch of so-called "goods" was actually African slaves. Out of a sense of justice, Jack released them all. For this reason, Jack was personally branded with the word "p" (pirate) symbolizing pirates by Beckett, the head of the East India Trading Company, and was thrown into a Turkish prison. Beckett also ordered this legendary ship to sink into the sea.

After being expelled, Jack was determined to find his ship back. He found David Jones, the captain of the "Flying Dutchman", and asked this terrifying guy to save his ship. The condition was that after Jack became the captain again, Jones would have Jack's soul for 100 years (serving on the ghost ship for 100 years) until the 13th year. Jones agreed and helped Jack save the "Black Pearl". From then on, the Black Pearl was considered a complete pirate ship, but Jack planned to default on his debt from the beginning...

Following a narrow path on the hillside, Fang Senyan walked towards the port below. Before he got close enough, he could smell the unique intoxicating smell of rum, which was a fragrance mixed with sweetness and rich wine. Rum is divided into two types according to the different raw materials. One is made from potatoes, and the other is a strong liquor made from sugarcane juice for three years. For sailors who drift on ships all year round, it is a cheap and affordable enjoyment.

The annual consumption of rum in the Caribbean alone is more than 5,000 tons, which is a considerable number. Therefore, many ports have a special rum festival. For pirates and sailors, this festival is as grand and solemn as the Chinese Spring Festival.

Although the layout style of the port appears chaotic, the ground is still paved with smooth stone slabs. In this age of the Caribbean, this was a costly but necessary project for a harbor that was often hit by wind and rain. Fang Sheyan's facial features have not changed much at this time. His tanned skin, lean and strong hands and feet, and a face full of yellow features make him look like a sailor from eastern Asia - in Pirates of the Caribbean. In the world, this is nothing unusual. As a Chinese, Shao Feng is even one of the seven pirate kings.

Sheyan was not in a hurry to find a job at this time, but was wandering around the crowded port streets carefully, trying to capture as many clues as possible. His eyes suddenly stopped at a small grocery store next to him. This grocery store had an old and greasy door and had a weird name like "Chicken and Dog." This was secondary. The most important thing was the owner of the grocery store. He looked like an old Asian man, wearing a white turban, lying lazily on an equally old bamboo chair next to him and smoking a pipe.

At this time, we can see the importance of charm. After Sheyan came up to him, the old man just snorted coldly from his nostrils and pointed to the counter with his pipe, which was regarded as a greeting and said, "What do you want?" Take whatever you want and don’t forget to pay” means. Obviously it is an impossible task for a white wolf to gain some information for free! So after Sheyan reluctantly took out five shillings and bought a few betel nuts, he finally got some information about the port from the old man.

This Port of Tutuga was built seventy years ago by the famous pirate Bernard Fogg at the time. Rumor has it that this guy robbed more than a hundred ships in his lifetime, fought with fleets from eleven countries, and plundered countless amounts of wealth. He was once called the overlord among pirates.

When Bernard Fogg was forty-five years old, he fell in love with a woman. For this woman, he presented his ship to the Queen of England, as well as more than half of his plundered wealth. The Queen of England was moved by the huge sum of money, accepted his allegiance and rewarded him with the title of Lord, and officially issued a privateering license to him.

The pirate captain Bernard Fogg successfully washed his hands of trouble and did not return to his old business. Instead, he built a free port on an island he discovered with a unique geographical location and named it Tutuga Port. The island where Tutuga Port is located is also quite large, with a length of about 14 kilometers, a width of 78 kilometers, and an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers, but less than one-fifth of the area has been developed. .

The once all-powerful pirate king settled down here, and his old troops followed suit and maintained order in the port with their skillful sword-sword skills and matchlock guns that they never gave up. Because Bernard Fokker was both a pirate and a British Lord, this became a free port. Both officials and pirates could enter and exit freely. A customary "safe zone" was also formed near the port, even if it was a sworn enemy. There will be no fighting here.

Once this rule is violated, the descendants of Bernard Fokker and his followers will use the unique elegance of the British aristocracy to impose original pirate punishments on your body one after another.

Sheyan wanted to know more about something, but the stingy old man began to sell him a "magical amulet". This thing was just a tattered knot, but he asked for a price. Twenty pounds. Sheyan rolled his eyes helplessly, believing that if he was very charming, he would not only be able to talk for free, but he might also get a huge discount in the transaction.

The most indispensable thing in the port is naturally the bars. Without exception, these bars are shabby. On the top is a carved statue of Taiya, the storm god (similar to Mazu on the coast of China), statues, and even all kinds of strange signboards. It is also full of cracks caused by rain and wind, and from time to time rude and unrestrained laughter comes from inside.

Fang Senyan pushed open the door of the nearest bar, and an indescribable hot air hit his face. At this moment, he had the trance of time and space, as if he was still the second officer on the ocean-going ship of 10,000 tons. , walking shoulder-to-shoulder with my companions into the Black Sunday bar in Jamaica.
