"How...how is this possible?" Vincent looked at the calculation results in his hand with a look of disbelief on his face, "How did that ship manage to maintain the highest speed during so many voyages?"
"If the above records are not falsified, then its speed should be more than twice as fast as the merchant ships of the same era. This is a bit too exaggerated." Billy also said, he should be the one with the most say among the four. I have spent half of my life on the sea, and I know that there are many factors that affect the speed of a ship. Usually, no matter how skilled the sailor and the helm are, they cannot control the changes in the natural environment.
"So now we not only don't understand where the people on that ship went, but we also have another question, why can that ship sail so fast?" Annie raised her eyebrows.
"These two questions may be the same question." Zhang Heng patted the young ship's doctor on the shoulder, "Can you translate all the contents in these three notebooks, especially the book of love poems?"
The latter nodded, "No problem. Anyway, I don't have much else to do during this period of time."
"Very good, but right now our main focus is still on the Spear of the Goddess." Zhang Heng said to Billy, "We should be very close to each other. Let's raise the top sail once the weather clears. "
"learn."
…………
The empty Clark ship mysteriously appeared in the heavy rain, and disappeared mysteriously when the weather was about to clear up. The sailors responsible for searching for the target climbed up to the observation deck after the rain stopped, but there was no trace of it in the vast sea.
It was like a ghost, appearing and leaving quietly. If it weren't for the two boxes of silverware on the ship, everyone couldn't help but wonder if it was all just a dream.
Zhang Heng also carefully checked the two boxes of silverware later, but like the rings and necklaces, he did not receive any prompts to obtain game props. This was considered a reasonable use of the game rules. After all, judging from the situation on the ship, the above The people may have encountered some supernatural phenomenon. If something that caused them to encounter an accident was brought to the ship, it would probably cause trouble to the Jackdaw. However, the final result was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Zhang Heng's investigation of what happened on the Clark ship was not purely out of curiosity. He had not forgotten what the weirdo in Tang suit had said to him before. The latter had told him that as the game progressed, he would gradually come into contact with the truth of the world.
Ever since he got that double-scale watch that added 24 hours and started playing monthly games, his life has gradually deviated from the normal track. At first, he thought it was the real world that had changed, but as Moresby The appearance of the world, especially after witnessing the wall that swallowed people, he gradually realized that maybe what had changed was not the reality, but the way he looked at the world.
Maybe those things have always been there, but few people noticed what they really looked like.
For the props in Zhang Heng's hand, except for [Moment of Shadow] and [Key of Shadow], related legends and stories can be found on Google or Baidu pages. This may not be a coincidence.
Although he has obtained some supernatural items in previous rounds of the game, he rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with the stories behind those items. If he can figure out what happened on the Clark ship, maybe he can also have a better understanding of the real world. Learn more about what those things are, where they come from, and what their purpose is.
However, he did not forget his main mission this time. Although the two boxes of silverware were worth some money, there would not be much left after being divided into the hands of 62 people. Especially after the victory on the first voyage, it may have improved invisibly. Everyone has high expectations for this trip to sea, so the top priority now is to win the Spear of the Goddess first.
Twenty-two days have passed since the Jackdaw left port. This time they were lucky. They also encountered several merchant ships. However, Zhang Heng did not order an attack in order not to waste time, so on the afternoon of the twenty-second day, The Jackdaw finally found its hunting target on the sea.
But the current situation is somewhat special.
"There should be Black Prince Sam's Veda in front. It's troublesome. They came after hearing the news." Billy said.
The Black Prince's Vader is a pirate ship that was as famous as Nassau and Blackbeard's Sea Lion. It is also one of the most powerful pirate groups in this area. In terms of ship performance alone, the Vader is still above the Sea Lion. .
This ship was first launched in London two years ago. Its name is taken from the West African trading city Ouidah. It is the best slave ship in the Atlantic. It adopts a relatively rare dual-purpose design of oars and sails and is very fast, especially When there is no wind or headwind, power can be provided by the oars on the bottom, and the ship is also equipped with heavy firepower.
Captain Lawrence once confidently stated that investors would make a lot of money in the future. As a result, the pirates led by the Black Prince made dumplings on the first voyage. In the end, he had to choose to surrender. Although he saved his life in the end, Later, the Vader became Sam's flagship.
After Billy recognized the Vader, he turned the copper telescope to the other side. There was a pirate ship northwest of the Spear of the Goddess, which was also the reason why the Vader did not launch an attack.
What Billy focused on was the black flag raised by the other party, but the pattern on it was something he had never seen before, "This ship... doesn't look like it's from Nassau."
Nassau is the most famous pirate port in the Caribbean, but that does not mean that all pirates come from here. There are also large and small pirates active in places other than New Providence Island, and you may occasionally encounter them when sailing. .
The Vader and another unknown pirate ship also discovered the newly intruded predators at this time. On the contrary, the Spear of the Goddess made no movement, probably because the two pirate ships and the three pirate ships no longer made any difference to them. .
However, with lessons learned from the past, no one thought that this whaling ship was ready to be captured. They were obviously waiting for an opportunity. At this time, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it was to them.
The current situation is a bit tricky.
The three ships surrounded the Spear of the Goddess from three directions. At the same time, they were also wary of each other, but their psychological activities were different. The artillery on the unknown pirate ship was not as powerful as the victors in terms of quantity and power. The Da was actually at a disadvantage during the previous confrontation, but the Vader had to consider the possibility of letting the Goddess Spear escape after the two sides started fighting. Seeing that a third party joined them, they were relieved.
However, thinking that he had another competitor, his mood immediately became complicated.
