Chapter 4413 Chapter 4415 [Hector Barbossa]
At ten o'clock that night, Xiang Nan used his apparation and arrived at Tetuga Port in an instant. Then he walked to a secluded area at the back of the port.
"Aha, are you here for an appointment?" There were two people waiting in a secluded place, one of them was lean and had a prosthetic eye. The other man was short and fat, with yellow teeth.
They were both excited to see Xiang Nan.
"Yes, I'm just here to keep the appointment." Xiang Nan nodded and said, recognizing them as the Wolong Phoenix chicks on the Black Pearl, Pingte and Rigotti, who can be regarded as Barbossa's right-hand men.
Pingte and Rigotti immediately lit torches and sent signals to the Black Pearl in the sea.
A moment later, a dark ship was seen riding the waves in the night. There was no light on the ship. It was like a giant beast hiding in the darkness, strange, cold and powerful.
Xiang Nan is not afraid, he is a person who is used to seeing the world.
The Black Pearl is just a medium-sized merchant ship, but he has seen a giant ship of 10,000 tons, with a length of 400 to 500 meters and a carrying capacity of nearly one million tons. Compared with it, the Black Pearl is not even small.
Even the Black Pearl is not as big as Xiang Nan's Dauntless, because the Dauntless is a battleship-level warship, while the Black Pearl is just a merchant ship.
If it weren't for the fact that it is the ship used by the protagonist and has been blessed by Davy Jones, it has the fastest speed when the wind is downwind. In addition, the crew members were cursed with Aztec gold coins and became immortal, so this ship was actually nothing unusual at all.
In the official novel "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom", it is even clearly stated that the predecessor of the Black Pearl, the Evil Maiden, was a slightly old medium-sized merchant ship.
…
A moment later, the Black Pearl was approaching, and then Captain Barbossa led the pirates to take a small boat and came to Xiang Nan.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, they all turned into skinny, ghastly skeletons, which looked particularly scary and terrifying.
Xiang Nan was not afraid of this.
The crew of the Black Pearl was cursed with immortality, but no other special powers. In terms of strength and speed, they are not much different from ordinary people. They just rely on their ability to survive and dare to fight, so they show off their power in the Caribbean Sea.
Although Xiang Nan cannot live forever, his strength in all aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people. To him, the crew of the Black Pearl posed no threat.
Moreover, he actually wanted to try to see if they could really live forever. For example, if it is burned to ashes with strong fire, can it still be restored?
Fierce fire, also known as devil's fire, can burn everything. Even indestructible Horcruxes can be burned by it. Xiang Nan wanted to try to see whether the curse was more protective or the fire was more powerful.
Therefore, when he looked at the crew of the Black Pearl, not only was he not afraid, but he felt excited and eager to try. The fiery and blazing eyes made the crew members feel a little hairy.
This was the first time they had seen someone like Xiang Nan who was not afraid of death. Most people would have already collapsed to the ground when they saw them looking like skeletons.
"Young man, are you summoning the master of the great Black Pearl, Captain Hector Barbossa?" A skeleton wearing an ostrich feather hat looked at Xiang Nan and asked.
"Yes, it's me." Xiang Nan nodded, "I think I have what you want in my hand." As he said that, he took out the Aztec gold coin from his pocket.
As soon as they saw the gold coins, the crew members immediately exclaimed, and then several people rushed towards Xiang Nan impatiently.
Xiang Nan snorted when he saw this. In an instant, a burst of true energy exploded, and the pirates who came up didn't even have time to shout. They were blown away by the true energy released by Xiang Nan. They flew dozens of meters away before they landed with a thud. in water.
"..." When the pirates saw this, they couldn't help being frightened.
"Wizard! He's a wizard!"
"He knows witchcraft! He's a wizard!"
"It's terrible, it's terrible!"
They talked about it.
The witch-hunting movement arose in Europe from the 15th to the 17th century. They believed that witches believed in demons and pagan gods, which would lead to wars, disasters or plagues.
In those years, the Hundred Years' War, the Religious Wars, the Thirty Years' War, the Black Death, crop failures, and major famines all broke out in Europe, causing people to panic and make their lives miserable.
Therefore, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the rulers targeted wizards and launched a vigorous witch-hunting campaign. Anyone related to wizards, witchcraft, and devils would be burned at the stake.
Because people believed that fire was sacred and wizards were evil, they had to be afraid of fire.
The witch-hunting movement lasted for more than three hundred years, resulting in the unjust killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and also made the horror of "witches", "witchcraft" and "witches" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even the crew of the Black Pearl were scary enough on their own, and they were shocked to see Xiang Nan who could perform witchcraft.
…
"Young man, who are you?" Barbossa looked at Xiang Nan in surprise.
He has traveled all over the world, and this is the first time he has seen such a powerful person. It was really not easy to send his capable men flying dozens of meters away with just a snort.
"I have had countless identities, but for convenience, you can call me 'apostle'." Xiang Nan said.
"Apostle?!" Barbossa thought carefully and couldn't figure out what "apostle" represented.
The word apostle originates from Christianity. It originally referred to the twelve disciples of God and originally meant those who were sent. However, Xiang Nanzhi is a witchcraft and should not be an apostle of God. Who else could he be? !
"The gold coin in your hand is indeed what I want." Barbossa no longer dwelled on this issue, but looked directly at Xiang Nan and asked, "After all, what do you want in exchange?"
"That ruby-encrusted notebook in your hand." Xiang Nan said immediately.
When Barbossa heard this, he was stunned.
When he first left his hometown and came out to explore, he did not immediately choose to be a pirate. Instead, he worked as a sailor on an Italian merchant ship. Later, after wandering around, he discovered that people who break the rules can often gain greater benefits.
So he stole a ruby-encrusted notebook from the merchant ship and embarked on the path of piracy. Very few people knew this secret, and he didn't know why Xiang Nan knew it.
As for the contents of the notebook, it is a manuscript written by the great Italian mathematician, astronomer, and engineer Galileo, describing his experience in searching for the legendary Poseidon Trident.
But it turns out that Galileo did not find the Trident of Poseidon, and this note was proved to be nonsense and a fiction. If the ruby on it hadn't been worth some money and had some commemorative value, he would have burned the notebook long ago.
