Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 33: The Wail of the Dead

Chapter 33 The Sobbing of the Dead

"Hmm?" Fang Senyan, who had relaxed, suddenly looked up at the dark sky, and a gentle breeze brushed his cheek. Fang Senyan couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the wet and wild breath in the sea breeze. For Fang Senyan, who had been on the ship for more than seven or eight years, this feeling was very familiar, and it was a precursor to the coming hurricane. However, there was no safe haven around this Hope Island!

Obviously, Fang Senyan was not the only one who felt that the storm was coming. Almost in an instant, various unique horn sounds rang out on the pirate ships anchored around Hope Island, some were deep or shrill, some were short or long, calling on the pirates on the island to return. According to Fang Senyan's experience, the hurricane was at least half an hour away from here. If they set sail with the wind, there would be no problem returning to Tortuga Harbor, an excellent safe haven. But the premise is that the delay here cannot exceed ten minutes, otherwise, it is easy for the hurricane to catch up from behind and cause the tragedy of ship destruction and death.

Fang Senyan let out a long sigh. Those who came to Tortuga Port to collect the goods should have discovered that Lady Kateri Fokke was missing, but they obviously have not found the body of this lady yet, otherwise they would never appear so quiet, and they would definitely hang up the bloody flag and fire cannons to search for the murderer with great fanfare. But this hurricane that came at the right time undoubtedly forced them to interrupt their search and return to Tortuga Port! Otherwise, the ship loaded with the stolen goods they purchased would be very likely to capsize on the sea. For the Fok family, which is in a precarious situation, this may even shake the foundation of the family, so no one can bear this responsibility.

Then, the search for Lady Kateri Fokke will probably be forced to stop as a matter of course, and it will have to wait until the hurricane stops and the wind and sea are calm before it can be resumed. This will be at least two or three days later. For Sheyan, this was great news. He believed that even if he left any traces, they would be washed away by the violent tropical hurricane rain in the Caribbean Sea, and the necklace left by his grandmother that Mr. Jack Sparrow gave would not disappear in the short term - this was enough.

As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they are happy. When Sheyan hurried back to the Bell and the Wineglass, the drunken pirates on the ship were running around like headless flies - because the high-ranking officials on the ship, such as Scar Henry, Charles, and even Armand, were probably drunk because they performed well in the high-level pirate meeting and made a lot of money. They were locked in the cabin and snored loudly, and no one could hear them even if the door was knocked loudly. The new second mate, Long Legs Robben, was sober, but he was mediocre and had no prestige. He shouted until his voice was hoarse, but he made things worse. Some drunken pirates even danced the hornpipe dance next to him.

After seeing this, Fang Senyan sulked and strode up the steps. All those who dared to block the way and those who were still drinking and going crazy were either carried or kicked by him, and thrown into the sea one by one, screaming, and it was very similar to the situation of putting dumplings into a pot. Of course, these pirates were good at swimming and could not drown, but it was inevitable that they would suffer a lot after drinking a few mouthfuls of sea water. Some pirates with bad tempers naturally fluttered in the water and cursed, trying to find some common connection between the women of the family of the guy who did this and their own things. However, once they found out that the culprit was Fang Senyan, they shut up obediently with embarrassed faces. Even the pirates who didn't get along with Fang Senyan dared to mutter a few words while doing things.

Soon, the order on the ship was restored. Fang Senyan walked around the ship, shouting and cursing at these murderous guys as he assigned and dispatched them. Sometimes he went to the place where manpower was urgently needed to lend a hand, sometimes he climbed to the side of the sailor to pat his shoulder to encourage him, and sometimes he kicked and cursed at the pirates who hurriedly passed by. Strangely enough, although the pirates who were kicked into the water were full of anger, they still liked Fang Senyan's tricks. His work efficiency was unprecedentedly fast. It took less than ten minutes for the Bell and Wineglass to set sail first.

At this time, the precursor of the hurricane was already very obvious, and even rumbling thunder could be heard in the distance. If it were daytime, one would definitely be able to see the depressing scene of "dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it" in the sky. The four-cornered sail raised on the main mast of the Bell and Wineglass took up enough wind and looked extremely full and swollen, providing sufficient power. This pointed and long sailboat rode the wind and waves at an astonishing speed, and sailed back to Tortuga Harbor like a light flying fish. Such a swift speed is not much inferior to the Black Pearl, the speed king of the Caribbean.

"Armand seems to have found a good navigator?" Several pirate captains murmured as they looked at the sails of the Bell and Wineglass.

In less than an hour and a half, the outline of the towering cliff outside Tutuga Port, which looked like a giant's arms, appeared in front of everyone. The light of the lighthouse used for navigation is also vague, like a candle that will be extinguished at any time in the wind. The turbulence of the sea can be clearly felt, as if the entire Caribbean Sea is rippling as a whole, full of irresistible majesty. Although there was no command from the navigator, Sheyan still skillfully scolded the sailors at the helm and successfully sailed into a safe haven. This undoubtedly added to Sheyan's mystery among these pirates.

For these murderous pirates, guiding ships into the waterway and docking smoothly in the dark is already a secret that belongs only to pilots. Little did they know that in the world where Fang Senyan came from, this kind of service belongs to the category of pilots. Basic things can be easily mastered if you want to learn them. For Fang Sheyan, who aspires to become a first mate or even a captain of a million tons, it is a kind of compulsory course.

As the returning pirate ships entered the port one after another, the hurricane followed closely, setting off huge waves as high as seven or eight meters on the sea. Just watching them was terrifying. Even though the ship was anchored in a good sheltered harbor, with heavy anchors on the bow and stern, it still felt as if the sea was roaring furiously, as if the entire Tutuga Harbor was about to turn over. At this time, the North Sea three-masted square-sailed ship sent by Tutuga Port to acquire the stolen goods also managed to return with swaying support. However, its condition was obviously quite bad. The mainmast had obviously been damaged by the strong wind. It was cut off, and the two triangular side sails next to it were also torn by the strong wind, rolling wildly in the air. Looking at the desolate appearance, it seemed that it would sink in the next second.

Fang Senyan stood at the bow of the ship, but he waved to Robben and said:

"Prepare a sampan for me, I want to go ashore."

Robben said in astonishment:

"Bosun, it looks like the bars are closed."

Fang Sheyan said calmly:

"Can't you just knock on the door? And I don't like sleeping on the boat in such a big storm."

Robben shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Your will will be carried out immediately."

Sheyan nodded and returned to the cabin to get some things. A quarter of an hour later, he stood on the dock of Tutuga Port. Although the hurricane was rolling in and seemed to be shaking things up, with the return of the pirates, several bars in the port still opened their doors to do their business, and dim lights struggled to shine out from the cracks in the doors. However, Sheyan was not in a hurry to enter the bar, but after checking the time, he came to the beach.

The sea was turbulent, and the huge dark black waves hit the thick breakwater heavily, and then exploded into millions of splashes. You could even clearly feel the iron-blue rocks under your feet vibrating slightly. Such a situation would naturally be shocking to people who grew up inland, but it was commonplace for Fang Senyan. He folded his hands on his chest and stood quietly on the breakwater waiting.

Before leaving the port, Sheyan had obtained a hidden mission from Kerry. The follow-up of this mission was obtained from the stingy grocery store manager Mogul. Although Sheyan was severely ripped off by the old man, he still He also got the benefit of a few glasses of golden rum there, and in the end the old man gave him a piece of crystal ball fragment. He put it in the water and got the following prompt:

When the clock strikes midnight, the cries of the dead will be restored to reality, the dust of history will be erased, and the truth will be revealed.

The beach where Sheyan was staying at this time happened to be the place where he put the fragments of the crystal ball into the seawater during the day. With the arrival of midnight, little bits of silver light began to shine on the sea here, as if the bright moonlight was falling, but the light gave people a deep and cold feeling. It's like it's trying to suck all the life out of a living person. Where the silver light shines, the sea surface is also strangely calm, with only slight ripples, while the strong wind and huge waves seem to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to cause any more waves.
