Chapter 173 Galileo's Notes

If Jack Sparrow is a non-mainstream pirate who is both good and evil and maintains a certain bottom line, then Hector Barbosa is the most typical manifestation of the mainstream pirates.

He is cruel, greedy, selfish, cunning, and all the words that can be used to describe pirates can be put on Barbosa intact.

But it has to be admitted that Barbosa has a considerable prestige and personal charm among pirates, and his ability to overthrow Jack at the beginning is a proof.

Barbosa is extremely tough to the outside world, but he also has a softness that he knows in his heart.

family.

Galileo was a great astronomer and physicist who was active in the 16th to 17th centuries.

It was he who denied the wrong geocentric theory and proved the correctness of the heliocentric theory, leaving a strong mark in the history of astronomy.

After Galileo's death, he recorded the notebooks he had studied throughout his life, which were expected to be transported back to his hometown by ship.

However, because the note was inlaid with a ruby ​​of unknown origin, the note was targeted by the thief and was stolen from the Italian cargo ship.

Instead of selling the diary, the thief collected it and gave it to his lover many years later.

He hopes that his lover can leave this diary to their descendants.

The precious ruby ​​in the diary should help his unborn child to live a wealthy childhood, and not become a thief like him.

The thief from that time was Hector Barbosa who is standing in front of Xin Sheng, and his lover's name is Margaret Smith, whom Xin Sheng calls him.

"notes?"

Barbosa scratched his messy beard with his hands and asked thoughtfully: "Do you want that ruby?"

"Yes, no, what I want is the whole notes, including rubies."

‘Is there anything special about that note?’

Barbosa could not see through Xin Sheng's intentions. He was not an astronomer and could not correctly interpret the important information left by Galileo in his notes.

"I can find Margaret's recycling notes, what are you going to exchange for?"

“A promise.”

Xin Sheng smiled and said, "I promise you that in the near future, I will help you obtain a powerful armed merchant ship."

"ha!"

Barbosa himself is an expert in short checks, and Xin Sheng's so-called promise could not impress him at all.

"You made me believe in the pirates' commitment?"

“Correction.”

Xin Sheng shrugged and said, "Strictly speaking, I am not a pirate, but a privateer hired by the British official."

Barbosa sneered, “Is there any difference?”

"Of course, at least my reputation is better than a pirate who doesn't keep his word, and I will definitely do what I promised."

"Ha ha!"

Barbosa smiled sinisterly and opened her hands and slowly walked out of the captain's room.

"Your promises don't make sense to me, my boat...isn't it here?"

Barbosa shouted with great enthusiasm: "Sailors, stand up! Now is the time for you to pursue freedom!"

"Squeak!"

Jack, the monkey on Barbosa's shoulder, first raised his hand to respond.

"Huh~"

The lonely sea breeze blew, and no one responded to Barbosa's call, and a low voice came from the deck.

Barbosa keenly sensed something was wrong, which was completely different from what he expected in advance.

"Play the Black Pearl game on my boat?"

Xin Sheng looked at Barbosa with a smile: "You don't think too much about your personality charm and verbal skills."

"Sailors! Take him!"

"yes!"

Under Xin Sheng's order, the sailors surrounding the nearby to watch the show rushed forward and pressed the caught off guard Barbosa to the ground with the absolute advantage of the number of people.

Stand up from the seat, Xin Sheng slowly walked to Barbosa and squatted down: "Heckett, listen well, and you must remember it firmly."

"I keep your life because Calypso wants you and I to monitor each other."

"I don't want to offend a god, but that doesn't mean I will give you unlimited tolerance."

He pressed his index finger on Barbosa's forehead and shot. Xin Sheng warned: "I think you don't understand the rules and first offenses, so forget it this time, if you still plan to play tricks..."

"Bang~"

Using ventriloquism to simulate the sound of shooting, Xin Sheng snorted: "Be careful of your head."

"Now, tell me, whose ship is the Jackdaw?"

Barbosa has been traversing the sea for many years and is well aware of the way of being able to bend and stretch.

“Ah haha~”

After laughing dryly, Barbosa tried to smile: "Captain, I'm just a joke. Of course the Jackdaw is yours."

"But, did your promise just count?"

"Of course, I keep my word."

Xin Sheng said with a smile: "Give me notes, and I will find a boat for you to trade fairly."

Barbosa's eyes flashed: "Documents are sent to trade immediately?"

"That's not."

"Huh~"

Xin Sheng blew the wooden bird given by Tia Doma: "I need to spend some time to find the original owner of the ship."

Barbosa had a bad feeling in her heart.

In the entire Caribbean, except for the Black Pearl, there are not many pirate ships that can be attracted by Xin Sheng, who owns the Jackdaw.

"Can you ask the name of that ship?"

"Can."

Xin Sheng looked down at Barbosa with a smile on his face and looked flattering: "She is the Revenge Queen Anne."

"Blackbeard Edward Titch's ship."

...

Blackbeard, one of the most vicious pirates in the Caribbean.

According to the historical knowledge Herodotus possesses, Blackbeard should have been born in 1680 and is still a teenager.

But the world of Pirates of the Caribbean is not real history, but a magical world that is superficial.

Xin Sheng had inquired in Tortuga before that Blackbeard had already become famous in the Caribbean, and even the old pirate who had been fighting on the sea for many years did not want to provoke this rising star.

The title of Blackbeard is named after Edward Titch's thick and ostentatious beard.

Compared with other pirates, Blackbeard is even more cruel. The famous wooden board is said to have been invented and carried forward by him.

The so-called wooden board is to tie the hands of the punished person, blindfold his eyes, and force him to walk onto the wooden board extending from the deck, and the execution pirate raised his sword to force the prisoner to continue walking forward.

At the end of the wooden board is the endless sea. Once the tortured person with his hands tied into the sea, there is almost no possibility of survival.

Even Barbosa, who was equally cruel, changed her reputation.

"...Are you serious? According to legend, Blackbeard can use witchcraft, can resurrect the dead into zombies, and can also create voodoo dolls to curse their enemies."

"Even his flagship, Queen Anne Revenge, is a weird ship operated by witchcraft. Are you really sure to defeat him?"

"witchcraft?"

Xin Sheng sneered and waved his hand: "That witchcraft is nothing more than a performance using black magic props. The purpose is just to establish an unshakable prestige."
