Foreigner's Journey

When the gold coin was thrown back into the stone box, Barbossa could clearly feel the curse removed from his body.
Great, greatly simplifies the curse restrictions of Aztec gold coins, and does not require the two important restrictions of 'take it out of the stone box' and 'must be paid with blood'. The means have changed.
If used properly, the captain can even create 882 undead warriors who are not afraid of death and injury to attack the city in a very short time, and it will only take a few days to capture London.
Loyalty issues?The only way to lift the curse is to find Heather and put the gold coins back into the stone box, or else endure eternal pain, who dares to betray?Who can betray?
Thinking of this, Barbossa looked at Heather with fiery eyes. If he was such a strong man, it would not be impossible for him to help him for a period of time. He must learn how to use this peculiar ability!
The days that followed were uneventful, and a few days later, the two ships arrived in the waters near Port Royal.
"What? Did the Dreadnought return them?" Jack looked in disbelief: "My respected mentor, that's the Dreadnought!"
On the deck of the Black Pearl, Heather put down his right arm waving towards the Dreadnought in the distance and looked at Jack: "Jack, my dear Jack, why are you always so petty? It's just a British Royal Navy first-class battleship-class three-masted. Battleship, what's so great about it?"
To everyone's surprise after arriving in Port Royal waters, Heather really kept his promise to return the Dreadnought to Commodore Norrington, and to return Governor Swan, Elizabeth and Will to the Dreadnought.
Needless to say, Elizabeth said with a flushed face that Captain Heather was a righteous and kind gentleman, saying that 'requisition' was 'requisition', which was completely different from those stinky pirates who robbed ships.In the face of this kind of rhetoric, what else can Governor Swan and Will say?Had to agree in unison.
Even Commodore Norrington had to admit that he was wrong, and even on the deck of the Intrepid, he saluted to Heather on the Black Pearl in the distance.
Heather is indeed a worthy gentleman.
Of course, the treasures placed on the Dreadnought had already been turned into gold coins that were easier to carry, and the supplies promised by Governor Swan were also supplied by a special material transport merchant ship a day earlier.
In this way, the Black Pearl left Port Royal with a heavy load of fresh supplies and a warehouse full of gold coins.
Without the Dreadnought, the question before Jack and Barbossa is serious - who is the first mate of the Black Pearl?
In terms of closeness, Jack was Heather's appointed apprentice, but in terms of ability, Barbossa dumped Jack as the first mate.
But Heather didn't care about Jack's question: "My apprentice, you are the unquestionable navigator of this ship."
"In fact, Mr. Gibbs can also serve as a navigator. I think the position of first mate is more suitable for me, dear mentor."
Jack showed a flattering smile and opened his mouth full of yellow teeth: "Hector is getting old, I'm afraid his mind will turn slowly."
Barbossa rolled his eyes, didn't even bother to question Jack, turned to look at Heather: "Sir, where are we going next?"
"There are two things."
Heather raised two fingers: "One, Jack, your reading ability training course is about to start, get ready mentally. Two, I need to take you to meet your creditor."
"Creditors?" Barbossa looked suspiciously at Jack whose face changed greatly.
"Deep Sea Hades David Jones, the captain of the [Flying Dutchman], a legendary existence that has sailed the sea for hundreds of years."
Heather sat on the newly changed sofa chair in the captain's room, raised Erlang's legs and said leisurely:
"At that time, Jack made a deal with Davy Jones in exchange for the resurrection of the Bad Girl, which is now the Black Pearl. Davy Jones helped him revive the Bad Girl and gave him 13 years to be the captain. After 13 years, Jack must Back on board the Flying Dutchman for a full 100 years. It's almost 13 now, Jack?"
Jack forced his composure: "Actually... that deal is up for discussion."
"My lord! Please expel this dangerous element from the Black Pearl immediately!"
Barbossa's face changed: "It is said that Davy Jones is in control of an incomparably huge Norse sea monster, and any ship will be easily crushed into powder by it. If Jack continues to stay on the Black Pearl, I am afraid that our lives will be in danger."
"Relax, mate."
Heather shook her fingers:
"It's because of the troublesome debt that I need to take action, right?"
###Chapter 12 Lime and Rum###
The Outlander's Journey Outlander and the Full-Time Hunter Chapter 12 Lime and Rum In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
The Black Pearl departed from Port Royal under the command of Heather, passed through many islands and ports, and sailed in the direction of Singapore very leisurely with stop-and-go.
It was a sunny day, and on the deck of the Black Pearl, Heather was huddled in front of a large barrel with first mate Barbossa and navigator Jack.
The other crew members did not dare to approach, so they could only pretend to work while secretly raising their heads to peep here.
Heather scooped up the liquid in the barrel with a wooden spoon and handed it to Jack: "Try it."
Jack happily took the wooden spoon and took a sip, frowning slightly: "It's too sour, and it's so bland."
Just as he was talking, Jack turned his hands and handed the wooden spoon to Barbossa.
Barbossa also took a sip, but nodded indifferently: "Very good, half a pint of rum is mixed with a quart of water, which can effectively curb the consumption of rum and prevent the sailors from drinking and making trouble. And this sour... ...I take the liberty to ask, did you put lemon juice in it?"
"Not only lemon juice, but freshly squeezed orange juice."
Heather picked up a new wooden spoon and scooped some of the water mixed with wine, took a sip, and said, "It's really a little sour, let's add some sugar to it. Miss Maria, can you get some sugar from the kitchen, please. are you coming?"
"Okay, Captain." Maria, who was getting hotter and more sexy, still blushed hot when she heard Heather's words, and hurriedly walked towards the cabin.
When Heather arrived on Tartuja Island two months ago, he took advantage of the disembarkation to trim the sailors on the ship. Those lazy and cruel pirates with irreversible bad habits were all driven away from the Black Pearl, leaving behind Some of the sailors Jack had previously hired and a small number of Barbossa's sailors.
Don't look at the fact that Jack hires players with crooked appearances - Mr. Gibbs who is addicted to alcohol, the old helmsman who has no tongue and can only train parrots to replace the talking, and the bald dwarf who does not have Heather's waist. But Heather, who has seen the series, knows that these sailors are the kind and righteous people who have been following Jack.
Of course, Barbossa also has a few living treasures, the first is Pintel and Lagerty, these two people can be said to be loyal to Heather now, although their brains are not very good, they are more loyal.
As for Miss Maria, Heather tried her best to persuade her when she was in Port Royal and Tartuja Island, and was willing to give her enough gold to even buy a very good new fishing boat.But the girl just didn't want to get off the ship, she just said with a smile that she was willing to be Heather's maid on the Black Pearl.
Heather had no choice but to offer her a high salary and use the captain's privilege to clear a large compartment for Maria that was originally used for storing sundries and use it as her private bedroom.
During these months of voyage, Jack has been teaching Heather's telekinesis, but at a very slow pace.
On the one hand, it is because Heather roughly heard the steps of orthodox mindfulness enlightenment and practice from Jin Fulix, and more details can only be guessed by oneself.Heather was afraid that a crooked way would ruin Jack's practice, so he could only slow down the steps and take Jack to practice.
On the other hand, it is Jack's own problem. His personality is too detached. Even if he is willing to practice mindfulness with Heather, he is always half-hearted. He is either thinking about rum or thinking about where to get a treasure map. The taboo is that the mind is messy, and the effect is naturally twice the result with half the effort.
A lot of free time could not be used to play games with Miss Maria, and Heather, who was idle and bored, began to hit the crew of the Black Pearl.
Rather, it's a healthy diet for the crew.
The chef of the Black Pearl was hired by Heather from Havana at a high price, and his name was Bonan Lorenzo.If this tall and stocky middle-aged man did not mention his occupation, someone would surely mistake him for the boat's bosun.
Bonan is best at Spanish cuisine, but life at sea is not difficult for him. He can make some tricks for Captain Heather every day, and the food for the crew no longer need to be inferior to pig food. .
For a time, Bonan, the sea cook, was second only to Heather, Jack, and Barbossa, and, oh, and Miss Maria, who was being looked after by Heather.
This ratio of rum to stored fresh water is the product of Heather and Bonan, and it is Heather's idea to put lemon juice and orange juice in it.
Now that the crew members are no longer immortal, the sea nightmare that was hard to ignore in the eighteenth century - [scurvy] must be taken seriously.
Although as early as the late sixteenth century, the famous navigator Sir Richard Hawkins discovered that citrus and lemon juice can effectively prevent scurvy, but fresh fruit is expensive and perishable, and boiled and concentrated juice is easy to preserve. But it does nothing to prevent scurvy, so people in this era still don't pay attention to the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables in preventing scurvy.
Unlike other captains, Hesser from the modern age clearly required a large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables to be purchased from the beginning of the supply. Whenever the Black Pearl passed through the supply port or island, it had to approach it to replace and replenish the supplies on board.
After a long voyage, especially in warm waters, the fresh water stored in wooden barrels can quickly become a paradise for algae and insects. Although this well-fortified water is not for Captain Heather to drink, it smells. Wei also knows that it is not good to drink.So Heather and Bonan came up with the idea of mixing rum with water, which would not only improve the taste and taste of the stored water, but also save the possibility of the gang drinking and causing trouble.
Add lemon juice and orange juice, and the [scurvy], which is the most headache for sailors, is no longer a threat.
Deng Deng Deng!
Maria walked cautiously onto the deck with the translucent glass jar, sugar was a precious commodity in this day and age.
Heather took the jar, twisted some sugar from it and sprinkled it into the bucket. After thinking about it, he put some more, and then signaled Maria to try it: "Please, Miss Maria."
Maria didn't shirk, took the wooden spoon from Heather's hand and put it into the wooden barrel, then took it out and took a sip, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Delicious! Captain, then there is no problem at all!"
"Very good. First mate, record the ration ratio."
Heather handed the tube back to Maria, then looked at Barbossa: "Wait until the next port and spread this recipe out."
"My lord, you...?" Barbossa was a little surprised. This formula that can greatly improve the living conditions of sailing and prevent scurvy at the same time, if it is him, he will definitely hold it firmly in his hands to attract more Capable sailors joined their subordinates to serve themselves.
Heather smiled: "It's just a small recipe. Since it can change the fate of more sailors on this sea, why should I hide it? Spread it out, it's better for the world to know."
Barbossa didn't say any more, just put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Heather.Likewise, Jack bowed in a rare serious manner.
Even pirates, they can't help admiring and admiring such a broad-minded and powerful strong man.
Some might say, it's just a rum-watered recipe, so what?
In the [-]th century when [scurvy] was rampant, sailors suffered from the lack of supplies at sea and could only drink the turbid green water crawling with insects and algae to quench their thirst. Such a formula would save many sailors from death and suffering. .
There was silence on the deck of the Black Pearl, and all the sailors stopped what they were doing and looked at Heather silently.
Heather took a few steps to the high platform in front of the rudder, and laughed loudly: "Gentlemen, starting from today, every day at noon and six in the afternoon, you will enjoy this sweet water dipping sauce after your work is over. Rum! Trust me, scurvy will stay away from you from now on! As for today...the distribution of watered rum is doubled!"
"Long live the captain!" There was an incomparably enthusiastic cheer on the deck.
Maria behind Heather was holding the sugar bowl and looking at the handsome young man wearing a captain's hat, she couldn't help falling into a trance.
But at this moment, the sailor standing on the observation deck at the top of the mast suddenly sounded the alarm and issued a shrill warning sound:
"There is a situation in the northeast waters! That is... that is the Flying Dutchman!"
###Chapter 13 Negotiations Broken###
Heather looked to the distant sea as soon as she heard the warning.
I saw the sky explode, and a huge three-masted sailboat broke through the sea and roared out from the bottom of the sea!
The whole body of this ship is dark blue. If you look closely, you will find that it is actually an ominous dead green, the dark sails are tattered, and the dense gun muzzles on both sides of the hull are all carved into hideous beast heads. , there is no bow image in the bow position, instead, there are huge cracks torn horizontally, with crisscrossed wood pieces, as if the giant beast opened its hideous and insatiable mouth.
Eternal nightmare at sea, ghost ship!
Some timid sailors on the deck of the Black Pearl even started to sway as they watched the shadow of the ship approaching in the distance.
Barbossa glanced viciously at Jack with an ugly face, then turned to look at Heather: "Sir, should we fight directly or evacuate temporarily? With the speed of the Black Pearl, maybe we can get rid of the flying Dutchman."
The only person on the ship who was not worried or afraid was probably Heather. He looked at the distant sea with some excitement, and said without looking back, "My dear first officer, do you still remember the purpose of my voyage?"
"...I understand, my lord." Barbossa bowed slightly, then looked at the quail-like sailors on the deck, and shouted:
"You lazy bastards, cheer me up! The sails are out, the helmsman is in place, and the gunner team immediately goes to the cabin to stand by! Gentlemen, prepare to fight!!"
"Yes!"
The sailors woke up from a dream, and with the command of the first mate, they escaped from fear and began to perform their duties.
Heather lightly jumped from the high platform in the bow area to the deck, and said easily:
"Don't panic, gentlemen, come here, I have something for you."
…………
About 10 minutes later, the Flying Dutchman caught up with the Black Pearl. Both sides slowed down slowly, and finally stopped in this unknown sea area.
The distance between the two ships was less than ten meters, and neither side fired, showing unusual restraint.
