Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 65: Ignored Abnormal State

Barbosa was a very competent captain. If we limit his scope to the Caribbean Sea, he could probably be considered outstanding.

It takes more than two hundred sailors to operate a two-deck, three-masted large warship; although these two hundred people are recruited temporarily, they can make the warship under their feet operate efficiently overnight.

This is certainly due to the fact that most of the sailors are experienced, but the outstanding organizational and command abilities of the Caspian Pirate King cannot be ignored.

At the same time, in the era without satellite navigation, most ocean captains had good knowledge of astronomy, meteorology and mathematics. Barbosa was no exception; with complete measurement and calculation tools, he quickly calculated the best route to the "Galaxy Island".

"In three days at most, we will reach our destination. Unless there is a god who helps old Teach to repair the Queen Anne's Revenge, he will never be able to reach Galaxy Island before us." Barbossa made a solemn promise.

Seeing the old pirate's confident look, Lin You could only listen to him. Anyway, the ruby ​​was in his hands, and even if Blackbeard found the place in advance according to the sea chart in the diary, he would not be able to open the seal of Poseidon's tomb.

Whether the god hiding in the dark is Jupiter or not, he should not be stupid and will not easily take action himself near Poseidon's tomb.

Just as God said, countless eyes are watching this world now; if a god were to change the course of the world at an important juncture, it would inevitably be discovered. That would be equivalent to openly making enemies with the four pantheons.

Thinking of the ruby, Lin You took it out from the dimensional space.

The gem glowed a bright, eerie red, as if there was a fire burning inside; if Lin You saw this kind of stone with its own light source in a non-magical world, he would probably throw it away immediately.

Because it is very likely to be a radiation source, and the brighter and more eye-catching the color, the greater the radiation intensity is often; if a person is exposed to it, he will either die or be disabled.

But in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, various detection magics have checked it over and over again, and no evidence has been found that the stone may cause any harm to the human body.

The biggest doubt lies inside the stone. It seems that there is a force that is resisting the detection magic and preventing in-depth inspection of the internal structure of the ruby.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin You suddenly had an idea. Since both the underwater cemetery and the trident were named after Poseidon, the god of the sea, why not give the "divinity" of Ophiuchus a try?

As soon as he said it, the power of the microcosm was immediately mobilized, and he tried to extend it into the gem. This time, he encountered no obstacles at all and went straight into the core of the gem.

It was not until then that Lin You discovered that the red light emitted from inside the gem was not flame, but a layer of flowing red liquid; it looked like magma, but he did not feel any "temperature".

If I have to make a metaphor, it is more like a pool of rich and vibrant blood.

However, this mass of "blood" does not have a substantial form, but is instead an invisible energy that circulates in the limited space inside the ruby ​​according to certain rules.

As soon as it came into contact with the power of the microcosm, this ball of "blood" suddenly became active; it seemed to have consciousness, actively approaching and accepting the microcosm. At the same time, it also penetrated into the microcosm in the opposite direction.

The power of reverse osmosis was not strong, just like the wind blowing over the water, blowing up a few ripples, and then quickly calming down. Before Lin You felt something was wrong and was ready to take action, the blood quickly retreated back and resumed its original state of circulation. All the changes caused by the power of the microcosm stopped here, which was really confusing.

What is this? The authentication failed and the program refused to start?
Lin You didn't care, shook his head and threw the ruby ​​back into the dimensional space. He didn't care much about the origin and properties of the power contained in the ruby; because under the modification ability of the quill pen, no matter what the current properties are, in the end it can only become what he wants.

Little do people know that it is this overconfidence fostered by the quill pen that causes the writer to ignore the subtle changes in the microcosm within his body.

The reverse penetration of the ruby ​​into the microcosm is not like wind blowing through the water, but like throwing a stone into the water. Although both of them cause ripples on the water, the wind can pass without leaving any trace, while the stone thrown into the water actually sinks to the bottom of the water.

However, it is still unknown what changes the stone will cause. Lin You only knows that he is getting closer and closer to the "Galaxy Island".

But just as Barbossa claimed that they would reach the designated location in half a day, and the sailors on the lookout tower at the top of the mast shouted that they saw the outline of land, they also discovered a brigantine following closely.

“There is no flag and we don’t know the nationality, but it is sailing very fast. It should not have much cargo. It is an empty ship.” Barbosa held up the monocular telescope and looked for a long time, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he did not find much substantive information.

"There is no fixed route near the coordinates of 'Galaxy Island'. Such a ship shouldn't be there at all." The Caspian Pirate King put down his telescope and began to shout orders, "Pull the sails to full capacity and move forward at full speed. Gunner, take out the shells and gunpowder and distribute them. The empty ship behind us will catch up with us in half a day at most. We must prepare for battle."

"Chef, light the fire and cook. Prepare at least a full day's supply of food before the battle. I don't want to see a single spark in the kitchen when the battle begins. From now on, all posts will be changed from day and night shifts to three-hour shifts. Even if you fall asleep, you have to keep one eye open..."

After issuing a series of orders, Barbossa reported to the real boss: "If the ship behind us continues to approach us, the person on board is most likely Blackbeard."

"I thought so too." Lin You nodded slightly. "Although they don't understand naval warfare, they dare to use a small boat to track and even approach a warship, which shows that they are not afraid of our firepower advantage at all. Apart from Old Teach, I can't think of anyone who has such strong confidence."

Barbosa's expression was somewhat grim: "If the other party comes closer, then..."

"Don't worry, leave Blackbeard to me. Although I am reluctant to kill, there is nothing I can do if someone is determined to die." Lin You looked calm; if he was really forced into a corner, he could cast a spell and send the entire schooner on the opposite side to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Could a wooden sailboat be stronger than Gringotts' vault?

"But this Blackbeard is really willing to do it. He knew that he might not be my opponent, but he would rather abandon the Queen Anne's Revenge and find another small broken ship to chase to 'Galaxy Island'. How did the god behind him brainwash him?"
