Chapter 4477 Chapter 4479 [Unpredictable secrets]
After staying in Atlantis for a year, Xiang Nan not only read books, but also slept with many mermaids.
On the one hand, he is very charming, and on the other hand, as the priest of the ocean goddess, his status among the mermaids is also very high.
It can even be said that Tang La, the supervisor of the country back then, did not have such a high status as him, and was simply regarded as a demi-god by the mermaid.
The key is that he is not as arrogant and domineering as Tangla, but he takes good care of the mermaid, which naturally makes him more respected by the mermaid.
…
During this year, Xiang Nan also helped the ocean goddess Koli Buso attract many believers.
Today, in addition to blooming all over the Caribbean, temples of Corybuso are being built in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Mediterranean, and Black Sea basins.
It's just that some temples are open and upright, and some temples are more secretive and underground.
For example, on the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Black Sea sides, where religion is relatively powerful and pagans are severely suppressed, the Temple of the Ocean Goddess was built in secret, and only captains, crew members, pirates, and sailors worshiped in secret.
In places such as the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean Sea, the influence of religion is relatively weak. Governments in various places are relatively tolerant of religions, so the Temple of the Ocean Goddess can be built openly.
Of course, Xiang Nan spent a lot of money and energy.
He spent millions of gold coins just building temples in various places. It can be said that the money was spent like water.
It is precisely for this reason that these temples bloomed everywhere, built in so many and so quickly.
After each temple was completed, Xiang Nan also sent rice, noodles, medicine, and clothes... He spent a lot of money to create momentum and attract believers, and the money spent in this way was even greater.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had more money. Not to mention the treasures he got, the Sun and Star Talisman alone gave him more money than he could spend all. He is like a mountain of gold casually, so there will be no need for money.
As the saying goes, there is something to be gained, and for this reason, the number of believers of the ocean goddess Corybuso is increasing, which makes Corybuso very happy.
"As expected of the priest I chose, you are really capable." He said to Xiang Nan with a smile.
Now that the number of believers has greatly increased, He has gained a lot of divine power. This feeling is really wonderful.
"I'm glad to serve you." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
"Very good, then what gift do you want? Do you want me to tell you the location of some treasures?" Corybuso smiled.
"Are there mysterious items or hidden knowledge in these treasures?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Knowing too much secret knowledge is not good for you." Corybuso waved his hand, "Many mortals in history have suffered backlash after gaining knowledge from gods.
For example, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden after eating the Fruit of Wisdom; after Phineus gained the ability to predict, he was punished by Zeus for leaking the secrets of heaven. Not only did he lose his eyes, but he was also attacked by strange birds every time he ate. Attack, I can’t even get a full meal..."
Xiang Nan nodded when he heard what she said.
For example, Zhang Sanlianzi in the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" knows that the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" has insight into the secrets of heaven, so when he passed it on to his apprentice, he tore off the first half of the Yin-Yang Technique, leaving only the back part of the Feng Shui Secret Technique. .
In the world of "Wind and Cloud", the Ni Bodhisattva, Emperor Shitian, Xiao Sanxiao and others were also controlled by the heaven's secret after gaining insight into it. The Clay Bodhisattva revealed the secret of heaven and got a malignant sore, and his life was worse than death; Emperor Shitian trapped himself in a cocoon and fell into the trap of avoiding disaster; Xiao Sanxiao spent his whole life wiping the **** of his two sons... "Then I I want a mysterious item, is there any?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"Yes, I will give you a mysterious item." Kolibuso nodded, and then told Xiang Nan an address, "You go to the western end of Gamvik Island, Norway, at two o'clock in the morning before the polar night begins. Beneath the glacier you will find a bracer."
"What magical power does it have?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"It's the frost giant's wrist guard. Once you put it on, you can summon cold ice and snow." Corybusso explained, "But be careful, the frost giants are very concerned about their treasures, so don't let them discover it. "
"Thanks for the advice, I understand." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Now that there are still two months until the polar night, Xiang Nan is in no hurry.
During the next period of time, Xiang Nan continued to make Oriha Gang and Magnetite on Amazon Island while reading the ancient classics obtained from the tomb of Alexander the Great.
It has been two years since Xiang Nan came to the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
In two years, Xiang Nan accomplished a lot secretly, and he accomplished a lot openly.
Not only did he send soldiers to patrol Port Royal every day to suppress the ground and maintain the stability and harmony of the port, he also led the navy on many expeditions to combat pirates near Port Royal.
With his ability, it would be effortless to deal with the pirates.
Those pirates originally had less firepower than the Dauntless, so when they saw the British Royal Navy dispatched, they were always on the lookout.
Because they are all small ships, mainly single-masted and two-masted ships, three-masted ships such as Captain Jack's Black Pearl, Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, and Xiao Feng's Empress are actually rare.
The advantage of sloops and brigs is that they are small and easy to turn around, and because of their light weight, they are faster than warships. Therefore, they often fled before the warships arrived.
This "guerrilla" combat method was once very successful.
But after meeting Xiang Nan, they suffered disaster.
Because Xiang Nan found the Poseidon Trident early on, he was able to control the power of the ocean.
When the pirates saw the navy's flag, they immediately wanted to escape, but found that although the sails were full of wind, the ship was still as fast as an old ox pulling a broken cart.
Naturally, when the Dreadnaught arrived, they could only surrender. After being captured, their fate was to be hanged in public.
Like this once, twice, three times, four times, Xiang Nan was victorious every time he attacked, and no group of pirates could escape his capture.
Also because he captured more pirates, Xiang Nan's reputation resounded throughout the Caribbean. Unless they are blind pirates, few pirates dare to cause trouble near Port Royal anymore.
Therefore, the security in Port Royal has always been very good, which also gave Xiang Nan a very good reputation among local businessmen and people.
Not only Governor Weatherby Swann favored him, but also many upper-class families in the city hoped that Xiang Nan could marry their daughters.
For this reason, dances are often held and Xiang Nan is invited to participate. However, Xiang Nan has never been there even once, and this has broken the hearts of many girls.
