The Final Evolutionary Quest! The Origin of the Black Pearl! Chapter 79: Changes in the Ceremony
Sheyan nodded seriously and said:
"Yes, but I have already told Mr. Gibbs my intentions. It would be more appropriate to tell you the reasons."
"Gibbs?" Mr. Jack Sparrow looked at his old buddy, who was dealing with a bottle of golden rum. Captain Jack was very dissatisfied and snatched the wine from Gibbs' hand. Ping took a few sips by himself, and then said seriously:
"You have to stay away from the bottle, so it's mine now, Gibbs, and now you have to tell me what Sailor Rock is up to."
Gibbs burped and said angrily:
"Give me back the wine! Okay, okay, you have to leave some for me. Sailor Rock is like this. He is cursed at this time..."
After Gibbs finished talking, Mr. Jack Sparrow smiled:
"So, you are going to deal with my baby (referring to Black Pearl)."
Fang Sheyan said calmly:
"As far as the current situation is concerned, she is already a tactful baby in someone else's bed."
Jack curled his lips and said:
"This world is always full of surprises and betrayals. I will definitely get her back. Well, Sailor Rock, there will be no free lunch in this world. You have to come up with conditions that make my heart beat."
Sheyan raised a finger.
"Ten thousand gold pounds."
Jack shrugged:
"continue."
Sheyan raised his second finger:
"A very fine beauty, which was in service with the Royal Navy not long ago. Mr. Gibbs can vouch for that."
Gibbs glanced at Sheyan:
"If you're talking about the Sam, it's a pretty good ship." (Poor Mr. Gibbs stayed in the tavern and didn't know that the Sam had been severely damaged by Armand.)
Mr. Jack Sparrow seemed to be moving, and Sheyan added the straw that broke the camel's back:
"In addition, in view of our friendship, Mr. Sparrow, I will give you twenty sets of British sailor's standard equipment for free. These goods can be sold for twenty thousand pounds in Tertuga."
Sheyan did not lie, but he did not tell Captain Jack that the Sam was no longer what it used to be, and the twenty sets of British sailor's standard equipment were obsolete, and he only spent less than a few hundred pounds at the auction. Sheyan did not involve the gold mine in this transaction. The reason is very simple, because Mr. Jack Sparrow's charm is also not low, which can easily offset the charm value of the gold mine.
"Okay then, deal." Captain Jack Sparrow stretched out his hand gracefully. After completing the transaction, he told Sheyan:
"You are also a captain now, so I believe you can understand a captain's feelings for his ship, even if it was a ship that once belonged to him. So I can't tell you anything about my baby directly, just like You won't tell anyone your wife's measurements, so I can only provide you with a person's name. Everything you need can be found in his mouth, because the Black Pearl was created by his grandfather! "
Sheyan narrowed his eyes and said:
"But I don't think he will tell me what I want to know."
"He will, he will definitely do it." Jack Sparrow said seriously. He began to put his fingers into his mouth and dig hard, and then pulled out half a gold tooth with saliva: "Take this with you. As a token, just go to the owner of the shop at No. 10 Nathan Road, Port Royal. He will receive you when he sees it."
Sheyan nodded:
"You have a very good reputation among men, Mr. Jack. If I were a woman, then I would never trust you so easily. Wait a minute, Nathan No. 10, I seem to have heard this damn thing somewhere. Name! By the way, Dear Mr. Jack Sparrow, what is the validity time limit of your information?
Jack Sparrow hesitated and said:
"I went to his shop eight years ago and borrowed two hundred pounds."
"You haven't seen him since then, and you haven't paid back the money, right..." Sheyan said speechlessly:
"Mr. Jack Sparrow, I don't mean to force you to betray your precious information personally, but the cruel fact is: the former owner of Nathan Ten was a guy named Kerry. As far as I know, he and Chauvin has nothing to do with it, and now the store has become the exclusive property of the Governor or the Judge."
Faced with such variables, Jack Sparrow was also stunned. He sighed regretfully and said:
"Then I'm so sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like this. Let's cancel our deal."
Seeing that there was really nothing he could do, Sheyan could only shrug his shoulders and sigh:
"Okay, okay, who said we are friends? There is a saying in the East that words spoken are heavier than nine rice cookers. Give me that gold tooth, and I will find the whereabouts of Mr. Chauvin myself."
Jack and Mr. Gibbs looked at Sheyan with a hint of unknown emotion in their eyes. To be honest, Jack Sparrow could be said to be completely broke at this time. In the original plot, he teamed up with William Turner to rob a warship, and only then did he get the first start-up capital.
Under normal circumstances, the risks behind robbing a warship are self-evident. You only need to think about the consequences of stealing a car in the police station. If there was no other way, why would Jack Sparrow take the risk and risk his life? Therefore, Fang Senyan's funding can be truly regarded as timely help for Jack.
After getting the information he wanted from Jack, Fang Senyan did not say much nonsense about recruiting, because he knew that, at least for himself at present, it was impossible to successfully recruit someone like Jack. The two of them clinked bottles and blew a bottle of rum, and then separated.
In this way, Fang Senyan also avoided standing on the opposite side of the other contractors. There is no doubt that two fists cannot beat four hands. If he tried to "occupy" Jack Sparrow by himself, it would inevitably arouse public anger.
Sheyan had demonstrated his strength before, but it was easy to break. It would be better to let Jack Sparrow go after asking for intelligence. In short, Sheyan was already fully grown at this time, and in his plan, he did not mean to ask Captain Jack for help.
The white sails that had gathered were already desperate, but when they saw Sheyan and his group let Jack Sparrow go again, and even Mr. Gibbs boarded Jack's ship, they gathered together in great joy. They would definitely get benefits from these two major plot characters, or at least follow the plot! This is exactly what Sheyan expected to see. If they kept their eyes on Jack Sparrow, then no one would notice Sheyan's actions.
After the group returned to the Royal Port, it was the beginning of the ceremony for Colonel Norrington's promotion to brigadier general. This ceremony was held at the gate of the Governor's Mansion at that time. People could not help but watch. More than a thousand sailors with white backgrounds and red stripes stood in a row, holding Mauser rifles with long bayonets and standing in a row. It can be said that the swords and guns were like a forest, which added to the power! Norrington and Governor Swann stood on the viewing platform in front, receiving swords and guns to guard them, and thousands of people looked up to them.
On the left side of the viewing platform sat many local gentlemen, and on the right side were a large number of women wearing sun hats and whalebone skirts. They mostly used round fans with figures and ladies painted on them to cover their cheeks. Among them, of course, the Governor's daughter Elizabeth Swann was the core.
At this time, Norrington and Swann were both wearing snow-blue long coats with double-breasted breasts. This kind of clothing was interpreted in later generations as a very famous swallowtail coat, with a layer of woolen white waistcoat on the outside, which looked very calm. At this time, men were popular with tui socks. Unlike the current black silk, this kind of tui socks were just above the knees, which could only depict the curve of the small tui.
Norrington stood on Swann's left, and Governor Swann handed the carefully crafted sailor sword symbolizing power to Norrington, which meant that he was successfully promoted to the rank of brigadier general.
The sailors who were guest-serving in the honor guard also raised their guns and fired at the same time, indicating that the ceremony was over. Norrington officially became a brigadier general, and his subordinates could have the authority to form a fleet. The members of his command naturally rose with the tide.
After the ceremony, the people dispersed one after another. Then the ladies who came to watch the ceremony also covered their mouths with fans, talked and laughed quietly, and then lifted their skirts to get on their carriages.
Royal Port is a port built on the mountain, so its building levels are also staggered, from low to low, forming the harbor area, business area and residential area. At this time, there are also several buildings above the Governor's Mansion, some of which look magnificent, and some look dilapidated, but under the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and sea, there is a heavy sense of historical accumulation.
So no one noticed that on the balcony of a building that looked quite dilapidated and old, there were three people lying on the ground. These three people used some miscellaneous furniture as a cover to successfully hide their bodies, but only extended the barrel and scope of the gun. It is difficult to attract people's attention.
Suddenly, the muzzles of the guns spewed out dazzling flames!
These three people fired at the same time, and they were all snipers! Although they only fired three guns at the same time, they created a terrifying momentum that was almost like a typhoon sweeping through!
The guns they used were all specially modified continuous-fire sniper rifles, which were based on the UER sniper assault dual-purpose rifle (B+4+2 bandit-only) with special enhancements in terms of range and bullets. At this time, they fired injection-type plastic explosive warheads! RO! .
