NOVEL WEB Captain Ghost of Pirate
Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Ethan found that he was still too naive.
When he sailed eastward for two days and two nights and still didn't see a single island, he couldn't help doubting the authenticity of the chart.
Even the big black horse came over, winking at the chart one by one.
"Isn't the chart going up north, down south, left west, right east?" Ethan flipped the chart back and forth, trying to tell the direction from the shape of the island.
"Don't waste your time... It's useless to find out the direction." The big black horse flicked its tail back and forth, chewing something in its mouth, "We've been sailing for almost three days, and it doesn't matter where the ship is now. can't tell the difference."
Ethan picked up his hair habitually. If he could return to land safely this time, he must find a navigator!
In desperation, Ethan could only take advantage of the sunset to identify a direction that was not westward, and keep heading in that direction. As long as he could touch the island, he would go ashore, and then inquire about the chart.
As for why you can't go west... Ethan still remembers some geographical information of this world. The sea area he is in now is the "East Sea". On the side is the legendary "windless belt". In addition to the lack of wind, there are also a large number of super-large sea kings. Ethan will not joke about his own life.
Fortunately, there was enough food and fresh water in the boat, so Ethan wasn't too anxious.
Ethan got up early this morning, planning to go to the warehouse to look through the pile of odds and ends to see if there was anything useful.As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he could smell the strong smell of bacon. Ethan was shocked, and hurried to push a few originally sealed meat barrels, but with a light force, the barrels fell to the ground, and the wheel went far away.
To say that Ethan is still a very rational person, he calmly counted the remaining buckets. There were only two buckets of meat left, but fortunately there was a lot of water left.Then Ethan rummaged around again, and finally found a knife from the cabin.
The big black horse, which was sleeping soundly in a side-lying position that ordinary horses could not do, felt a chill in its neck, and opened its eyes blankly, only to see Ethan put the sword on its neck with a smile on his face.
"Tell me, how familiar do you think?" Ethan's smile made the big dark horse shiver uncontrollably, and the big dark horse yelled "Aww" in fright.
"Don't move." Ethan said softly, "I'll try to move as neatly as possible, the knife is quick and the water is hot, one bald one."
The big black horse was about to cry: "Boss...boss... let's talk about it... talk it out!"
"Speak well? Okay, how many barrels of meat have you eaten these two days? Originally, we could last at least a month at sea. You only have two barrels left. Are you a pig?" Ethan became angrier as he spoke, and slapped the big black horse hard with the spine of his sword.
The big black horse was screaming, when suddenly there was a clear cry from the sky, and a figure had already landed on the railing beside the deck.
Ethan, who heard the sound, looked back, and it turned out to be a large seabird, but the whole body of the seabird looked white, only the tips of the wings and the tail were black.He even wore a big-brimmed hat on his head, with an "N" badge hanging on the brim.Its beak looks flat and wide, with a big and black tip, which looks like a big nose.Coupled with its unlovable demeanor, it looks particularly funny.
There is a small red bag hanging around the neck of this big bird, and a large bag containing many newspapers is slung beside it, which looks very heavy, which may be the reason why it has no love in life.
Seeing this, Ethan suddenly remembered that in this world, there is a kind of news bird that can fly around and sell newspapers to people sailing on the sea.
"How much?" Ethan asked curiously when he saw such a bird for the first time.
The news bird patted the small bag on his chest with its wings, and Ethan discovered that there was a sign on the small bag, on which was the price of the newspaper - "50 Baileys a copy".
Ethan rummaged around and finally found a 50 Bailey coin and put it in his small bag. The news bird took out a newspaper and handed it to Ethan, then flapped its wings and was about to fly away.
"Hey wait~" Ethan suddenly remembered something, the news bird flies high and sees far, and sells newspapers everywhere, so it must know where there is an island nearby, "Brother Bird, do you know where there are people nearby? No, I should ask, do you know which direction to drive to meet a small island with people?"
The news bird fluttered its wings and landed again, swept away the decadent expression just now, and happily took out a note from the big bag, only to see that it said: "Ask for directions [-] Baileys."
"Well? Ask for [-] yuan? Why don't you go grab it?" Ethan yelled in surprise.
The newsbird calmly took out the second note calmly: "Please think about it carefully, getting lost in the sea is equivalent to dying."
Before Ethan could answer, he saw a third note in his mouth: "The most precious thing for a person is life, and there is only one life for everyone. A person's life should be spent like this..."
"..." Ethan was speechless, and even a little curious about what kind of note it would pull out next.
But this time I watched it move around in its mouth, as if looking for the next one, but I couldn't find it.In the end, it let out a "woo woo" and took out a note with a look of reluctance: "Forty thousand, it really can't be lowered."
Ethan laughed out loud. He rubbed his chin and looked at the news bird playfully: "Thirty thousand, if you can, you can go if you can't."
The news bird yelled a few times, as if wanting to argue with Ethan, but Ethan couldn't understand the bird's language, so in the end it could only nod dejectedly.
Then Newsbird took out another note: "Small business, operate with integrity, pay first and guide the way."
Seeing its dejected look, Ethan was amused. He counted out [-] Bailey notes and just about to stuff them into Newsbird's small bag. Newsbird patted the side pocket of the big bag, motioning him to put the money in to here.
"Hey, is this guiding business your own idea? It turns out that you are earning extra money, no wonder you can still lower the price."
The news bird gave him a blank look, and took out a note with a displeased face: "Follow me."
This made Ethan very surprised. It turned out that the business of giving directions wasn't just a matter of pointing in one direction?
If you say that Ethan is still a newborn calf, he is not afraid of tigers, he doesn't even know a little bit of sailing knowledge, he dares to go to sea without any preparation, let alone he can't even read the chart.
Some of the arrows on the chart indicate the direction of the directional wind, while others indicate the direction of the ocean current.Ordinary pedestrian boats, ordinary navigators will constantly adjust the rudder and sail according to the directional wind and ocean current direction marked on the chart to ensure that they are always moving forward along the previous channel.
And Ethan let the ship adjust itself. Although the ship has been heading in a certain direction pointed out by Ethan, in fact, in the process of fine-tuning the ship, it has already deviated from the channel and missed the small island in the east of the Kingdom of Goa. .
"Uh, huh!" The news bird flapped its wings and flew back into the sky, circled a few times and then slowly led Ethan's boat towards one direction.
Ethan, who was in a good mood, changed the course with his thoughts, allowing the ship to keep up with the news bird. The black sails were fully drawn and bulged violently by the wind, and the speed of the whole ship reached the extreme.
With newsbird to help guide the way, Ethan relaxed and glanced at the big black horse who was pretending to be pitiful next to him: "Forget it... just eat it, I found the way anyway, let's add it when we go there..."
"Boss!" The big black horse who was still pretending to be pitiful just now turned into a kneeling and licking mode, and approached with a cheap smile, "As expected of my boss! Boss is so arrogant!"
Feeling the sea breeze blowing in his face, Ethan sat down on the recliner again to read the newspaper, but just as he turned the first page, a stack of scattered leaflets were scattered out, and Ethan quickly put these leaflets in his hand , so as not to be blown away by the sea breeze.After taking a closer look, I realized that this is not a flyer, it is a wanted warrant!
Ethan flipped through the pages one by one, sighing while looking at them. The East China Sea deserves to be recognized as the "weakest sea". Low truth.
Most of the pirates in this stack of arrest warrants have a reward of 200 million, and occasionally there are more than 600 million, but not many, and no more than ten of them exceed 1000 million.But Ethan still saw a few familiar faces, such as a pirate "newcomer" named "Hundred Schemes" Crowe, who offered a reward of 600 million Baileys; To his most conspicuous chubby red nose, "Joker" Bucky, offers a reward of 300 million Baileys.
Ethan was amazed, these are all the "characters" who will become famous in the East China Sea in the future, so they all just went to sea now?Ethan flipped through the pages one by one leisurely, and when he reached the last one, his expression suddenly froze.
