save the bachelors

Chapter 4477 [Heaven's Secret is Unpredictable]

Xiang Nan spent a year in Atlantis. In addition to reading books, he also dated several mermaids.

On the one hand, he was naturally very charming, and on the other hand, as a priest of the goddess of the sea, he had a very high status among the mermaids.

It can even be said that the regent Tang La at that time did not have such a high status as him. He was simply regarded as a demigod by the mermaids.

The key is that he is not as arrogant and domineering as Tang La, but he is very caring towards the mermaids, which naturally makes him more respected by the mermaids.

……

During this year, Xiang Nan also helped the sea goddess Colibuso to attract a lot of believers.

Today, temples of Colybuso are not only everywhere in the Caribbean, but have also been built in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Black Sea basins.

It’s just that some temples are open and aboveboard, while others are more secretive and underground.

For example, in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea, religious forces are relatively strong and pagans are suppressed harshly. The temples of the goddess of the sea were built in secret, and only captains, crew members, pirates, and sailors would worship in secret.

In the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Caribbean Sea and other places, the influence of religion is relatively weak. The local governments are more tolerant of religion, so the temple of the goddess of the sea can be built openly.

Of course, Xiang Nan paid a lot of money and energy.

He spent millions of gold coins just on building temples in various places. It can be said that he spent money like water.

It is for this reason that these temples sprang up everywhere, and were built in such large numbers and so quickly.

After each temple was completed, Xiang Nan would give away rice, noodles, medicine, clothes, etc. He would spend a lot of money to create momentum and attract believers, and the money he spent in this way was even more enormous.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan had plenty of money. Not to mention the treasures he had obtained, the Sun and Star Amulet alone made him have more money than he could spend. He had a mountain of gold at random, so there was no way he would be short of money.

As the saying goes, there is gain in loss. For this reason, the number of believers of the sea goddess Colybuso is increasing, which makes Colybuso very happy.

"You are worthy of being the priest I chose. You really have the ability." He said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

Now that the number of believers has increased dramatically, He has gained a lot of divine power. This feeling is really wonderful.

"I'm happy 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?" Colibuso said with a smile.

"Are there any mysterious objects or secret knowledge in these treasures?" Xiang Nan asked.

“Knowing too much secret knowledge is not good for you.” Colibuso waved his hand and said, “Many mortals in history have suffered backlash after obtaining the knowledge of gods.

For example, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden after eating the fruit of wisdom; Phineus was punished by Zeus for revealing the secrets of heaven after gaining the ability to predict the future. Not only did he lose his eyes, but every time he ate, he would be attacked by strange birds and could not even have a full meal..."

Xiang Nan heard her say this and nodded.

There is also the saying in Middle-earth that "the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed" and that if one knows too many secrets of heaven, one will easily suffer backlash.

For example, Zhang Sanlianzi in the world of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" knew the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and had 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 and only left the Feng Shui secret technique in the back.

In the world of "Wind and Cloud", the Clay Buddha, Emperor Shitian, Xiao Sanxiao and others were also controlled by the secrets of heaven after they understood them. The Clay Buddha leaked the secrets of heaven and got a poisonous sore, and his life was worse than death; Emperor Shitian was trapped in his own trap to avoid disasters; Xiao Sanxiao spent his whole life cleaning up the butts of his two sons... "Then I want the mysterious item, is there one?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Yes, I will give you a mysterious item." Kolibuso nodded, and then told Xiang Nan an address, "Go to the western end of Gamvik Island in Norway at 2 a.m. before the polar night begins, and you will find a wristband deep under the glacier."

"What magical power does it have?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"It's a frost giant's wristband. Once you wear it, you can summon cold ice and snow." Kolibuso explained, "But be careful. The frost giants are very careful about their treasures. Don't let them find them."

"Thank you for your advice. I understand." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

There are still two months left until the polar night, so Xiang Nan is not in a hurry.

During the following period, Xiang Nan read the ancient books obtained from the tomb of Alexander the Great while continuing to make orchids and magnetite on the Amazon Island.

Two years have passed since Xiang Nan came to the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Within two years, Xiang Nan accomplished a lot of things secretly, and he also accomplished a lot of things openly.

Not only did he send soldiers to patrol Port Royal every day, suppress the ground and maintain the stability and harmony of the port, he also led the navy on many expeditions to fight against pirates that lurked near Port Royal.

With his abilities, it would be effortless for him to deal with the pirates.

The pirates' firepower was not as strong as that of the Dreadnought, so when they saw the Royal Navy coming out, they rushed forward first.

Because they were all small boats, mainly sloops and two-masted ships. Three-masted ships like Captain Jack's Black Pearl, Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, and Xiao Feng's Empress were actually rare.

The advantage of sloops and brigs is that they are small and easy to turn around, and because they are light, they are faster than warships. Therefore, they often escape before the warships arrive.

This "guerrilla" method of warfare was once very successful.

But after meeting Xiang Nan, they were in trouble.

Because Xiang Nan found the Trident of Poseidon 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 they found that even though the sails were filled with wind, the ship's speed was still like an old ox pulling a broken cart, and it could not go any faster.

Naturally, when the Dauntless arrived, they had no choice but to surrender. After being captured, they were all hanged in public.

This happened once, twice, three times, and four times. Xiang Nan was victorious every time he attacked, and no group of pirates could escape his capture.

Because he had captured so many pirates, Xiang Nan's reputation spread throughout the Caribbean. Unless they were blind pirates, few pirates dared to cause trouble near Port Royal.

Therefore, the public security in Port Royal has always been very good, which also makes Xiang Nan have a very good reputation among local businessmen and people.

Not only Governor Weatherby Swann favored him, but many upper-class families in the city also hoped that Xiang Nan would marry their daughters.

For this reason, they often held dances and invited Xiang Nan to participate. However, Xiang Nan never went once, which broke the hearts of many girls.
