save the bachelors

Chapter 4413 [Hector Barbosa]

At ten o'clock that evening, Xiang Nan used the technique of Apparition to instantly arrive at Tetuga Port, and then he walked to a secluded place behind the port.

"Aha, are you here for the appointment?" Two people were waiting in a secluded place, one of them was thin and had a fake eye, and the other was short and fat with a mouth full of yellow teeth.

They were both very excited to see Xiang Nan.

"Yes, I am here to keep the appointment." Xiang Nan nodded and recognized them as the two of them, Pingte and Rigotti, the two right-hand men of the Black Pearl.

Pinte and Rigotti then lit torches and sent signals to the Black Pearl in the sea.

A moment later, a dark ship was seen coming on the waves in the night. There was not even a light on the ship. It was like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, strange, cold and powerful.

Xiang Nan was not afraid at all, as he was a man who had seen the world.

The Black Pearl was just a medium-sized merchant ship, but he had seen huge ships of 10,000 tons, with a length of 400 to 500 meters and a load capacity of nearly 1 million tons. Compared with it, the Black Pearl was not even a small one.

Even the Black Pearl was not as big as Xiang Nan's Dreadnought, because the Dreadnought was a battleship-class warship, while the Black Pearl was just a merchant ship.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the protagonist's ship and was blessed by Davy Jones, with the fastest speed when the wind was favorable, and the crew members were cursed by the Aztec gold coins and became immortal, this ship would actually be nothing special.

In the official novel "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom", it is even clearly stated that the Black Pearl's predecessor, the Wicked Maid, was a slightly old medium-sized merchant ship.

……

A moment later, the Black Pearl came closer, and then Captain Barbossa led the pirates to change to a small boat and came to Xiang Nan.

Under the moonlight, they all turned into skinny, eerie skeletons, looking particularly terrifying.

Xiang Nan was not afraid of this.

The crew of the Black Pearl was only cursed with immortality, but they had no other special abilities. Their strength and speed were not much different from those of ordinary people, but they dared to fight and kill because of their immortality, so they were so powerful in the Caribbean.

Although Xiang Nan cannot be immortal, his strength in all aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people. To him, the crew of the Black Pearl is not a threat at all.

Moreover, he really wanted to try whether they were really immortal. For example, if they were burned to ashes by fierce fire, could they be restored?

Lieffire, also known as the devil's fire, can burn everything. Even the indestructible Horcruxes can be burned by it. Xiang Nan really wants to try and see whether the curse has a stronger protective power or Lieffire is more powerful.

Therefore, when he looked at the crew of the Black Pearl, he was not afraid, but rather excited and eager to try. The crew was a little scared by his fiery and ardent eyes.

It was the first time they had seen someone as fearless as Xiang Nan. Most people would have collapsed to the ground when they saw them in skeleton form.

"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." 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 exclaimed in surprise, and then several of them rushed towards Xiang Nan impatiently.

They had been tortured by the curse for too long and were eager to get rid of it. They were also conceited that they could live forever, so they were used to robbing by force.

Xiang Nan snorted when he saw this. Instantly, a burst of true energy burst out, and the pirates who rushed up didn't have time to shout, and were blown away by the true energy released by Xiang Nan, flying dozens of meters away, and then fell into the water with a plop, plop.

“……”The pirates were shocked when they saw this.

"Wizard! He's a wizard!"

"He knows witchcraft! He's a wizard!"

"It's terrifying, it's terrifying!"

They talked among themselves.

The witch-hunting movement arose in Europe from the 15th to the 17th century. Witches were believed to believe in demons and pagan gods and would cause wars, disasters or plagues.

During those years, the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the Wars of Religion, the Thirty Years' War, the Black Death, crop failures and famines that broke out one after another in Europe caused panic and misery among the people.

Therefore, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the rulers turned their attention to wizards and launched a vigorous witch-hunting campaign. Anyone who had anything to do with wizards, witchcraft, and the devil 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-hunt movement lasted for more than three hundred years, resulting in the wrongful killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and making the horror of "wizards", "witchcraft" and "witches" deeply rooted in people's minds.

Even though the crew of the Black Pearl were scary enough, they were still frightened when they saw Xiang Nan, who could perform witchcraft.

……

"Young man, who are you?" Barbossa looked at Xiang Nan in surprise.

He had traveled all over the world, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful person. With just a snort, he blasted his capable subordinate dozens of meters away. It was really not easy.

"I have had countless identities, but for the sake of convenience, you can call me 'Apostle'." Xiang Nan said.

"Apostle?!" Barbossa thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out what "Apostle" meant.

The word "apostle" comes from Christianity, and originally refers to the twelve disciples of God, and originally means those who are sent. However, Xiang Nan is doing witchcraft, so he should not be an apostle of God. Then who else could he be an apostle of? !

"The gold coins in your hand are indeed what I want." Barbosa stopped dwelling on this question and looked directly at Xiang Nan and asked, "Tell me, what do you want in exchange?"

"The notebook inlaid with rubies in your hand." Xiang Nan said immediately.

When Barbossa heard this, he was stunned.

When he first left his hometown to venture out, he did not immediately choose to be a pirate, but worked as a sailor on an Italian merchant ship. Later, after some adventures, he found that people who broke the rules could often gain greater benefits.

So he stole a ruby-encrusted notebook from the merchant ship and embarked on the road of piracy. Few people knew this secret, and he didn't know why Xiang Nan knew it.

As for the contents of the notebook, it is the manuscript of Galileo, the great Italian mathematician, astronomer and engineer, recording his experience in searching for the legendary Trident of Poseidon.

But it turned out that Galileo did not find the Trident of Poseidon, and the notebook was proved to be nonsense and fabricated. If the ruby ​​on it was not worth some money and had some commemorative value, he would have burned the notebook long ago.
