Chapter 178 Darkness Chencang

The pirate lord who ran rampant in the Indian Ocean was named Songbaji. It is said that he was a terrifying pirate with supernatural powers.

Recently, Songbaji received a report from his pirate fleet. Xiaofeng and Mrs. Qing next door were frequently moving and patrolling the Indian Ocean border.

"What do they want to do?"

Songbaji is an Indian with a beard who looks quite powerful on the outside, but his voice is typical sissy, sharp and feminine.

In front of outsiders, Songbaji never speaks, but is conveyed by his confidant, so as not to decline his prestige due to his sissy voice.

One of the confidants reported: "It seems that he was looking for a ship called Jackdaw, and the purpose is still unclear."

Songbaji stroked his beard thoughtfully: "Does a mere ship take such a lot of trouble?"

"Xiaofeng and Mrs. Qing are both people who cannot get up early without profit. Could it be...there are priceless treasures on that ship?"

Thinking of this, Songbaji, whose pirate nature was induced, could no longer sit still.

"I'm going to go out of the voyage, I'm going to go to the Bay of Bengal in person to see the situation."

"yes!"

...

When he arrived at Malacca Port on a horse, Xin Sheng was investigated when he entered the city.

Xin Sheng could not understand Dutch and tried to communicate in English and Spanish, which made the city gate guard a little confused.

After a Spanish-speaking officer came over, Xin Sheng was able to communicate with them normally.

“Where comes from?”

Xin Sheng kept talking nonsense: "Kuala Lumpur."

"Why are you here in Malacca?"

"To meet with the family who returned from overseas."

The officer took out a wanted portrait and compared it with Xin Sheng's appearance.

Xin Sheng was speechless about this wanted portrait.

The person in the portrait is wearing a hood and cannot even see his face. He can only compare his figure and clothing.

Xin Sheng's height is more in line with the people in the portrait, but he had already put away his hood and showed his face openly. His clothes were also replaced and he could not recognize them at all.

‘Can you find a wanted criminal just by this thing?’

The investigation of this era is also the case. There is no need for identity proof when traveling to and from colonies that are mixed with fish and dragons.

"The characteristics do not match, release."

Entering the Port of Malacca, Xin Sheng turned his head thoughtfully toward the group of Dutch soldiers who continued to question the passing pedestrians.

"Is Xiaofeng's connection? I didn't expect that he could still persuade the Dutch Governor of Malacca to cooperate with the search. It should have cost a lot of money."

In this era without cameras, it is difficult to catch a person, and it is difficult to compare the target by relying on the oral description of the victim.

‘The hood is a good thing.’

Xin Sheng was cautious enough when dealing with Mrs. Qing before and never showed her face in front of her, which made it difficult for Mrs. Qing to provide Xiaofeng with exact appearance characteristics, and could only be identified by her clothing and figure.

Clothing can be replaced at any time, and you just need to disguise yourself in order to confuse your judgment.

Temporarily settled in the port of Malacca, Xin Sheng recruited Daedalos and asked it to fly to the Nicobar Islands to find the whereabouts of the Jackdaws, and handed the letter to Barnabas.

For half a month, Xin Sheng stayed honestly in the hotel in Port Malacca and contacted Barnabas via Daedaros.

Of course, he was not idle during this period and found a lot of news in a tavern in Malacca.

Xiaofeng and Mrs. Qing still did not give up and were still wandering in the nearby waters.

However, due to the arrival of the Indian Ocean pirate lord Songbaji, the two did not dare to cross the junction between the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

The Jackdaw hiding in the Nicobar Islands is still safe for the time being, and Songbaji did not expect that the two "old friends" could not find a boat that they could hide in such a close place.

The Nicobar Islands are located just at the junction of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, with only local natives and very simple ports on the island.

Barnabas did not drive the ship to the port to dock, but instead looked for caves to drill according to the old rules to avoid the sight of passing ships.

The three pirate lords were temporarily in a stalemate, and Mrs. Xiaofeng and Mrs. Qing were unwilling to disclose their scandals to outsiders, which led to extremely limited information obtained by Songbaji.

With the advent of the typhoon season, Xiaofeng and Mrs. Qing still did not find Xin Sheng's whereabouts, so they could only reluctantly withdraw their nests.

Seeing that there was no oil and water to fish, Songbaji retreated back to the Bay of Bengal in the north in disappointment.

Xin Sheng took advantage of the opportunity of the three parties' concessions and hired a small boat to arrive at the Nicobar Islands to meet with the Jackdaw.

When Mrs. Qing and Xiaofeng received the news about the Jackdaw again, Xin Sheng had already gone far away and headed west to Sri Lanka with the wind.

From this day on, Xin Sheng became the final killer in Xiaofeng's heart second only to Jack Sparrow.

"Captain, where are we going next?"

Xin Sheng looked through the chart: "By bypass Songbaji's range of activity and head to Africa, and go north along the coastline and enter the Mediterranean."

"I've been traveling in Singapore, and it's time to do a serious business. By the way, I hope he's got Galileo's notes."

'travel……'

Herodotus and Barnabas looked at each other, and both of them smiled helplessly at the same time.

...

With its super high maneuverability and lack of fresh water, Jackdaw did not advance along the coastline of the Indian Ocean, but directly crossed the ocean westward.

After arriving at Sri Lanka, the Jackdaw continued to go west to Male, and then headed south to replenish supplies on Digo Garcia and Mauritius, and officially entered Africa after passing through Madagascar.

Africa also has its own pirate lords. Considering the backwardness of African shipbuilding technology, he should be the weakest among the nine pirate lords.

Before entering Africa, Jackdaw encountered an episode.

They unfortunately encountered a storm in the ocean.

This was the first time Xin Sheng was found by a storm. The storm on the sea was so strong that it could shake the Jackdaw.

Barnabas calmly ordered the sails to be put away. Xin Sheng used the Poseidon Trident to manipulate the waves in a small range, pushing the Jackdaw to the shore, and finally docked at the port of Durban in eastern Africa.

After trembling in the middle of the night in the middle of the surging wind and waves, Xin Sheng and the crew members who returned to the shore felt like they had survived the disaster.

If the Jackdaw was unfortunately overturned by the wind and waves, Xin Sheng could survive on the Poseidon Trident, and it would not be necessary for other crew members, including Barnabas and Herodotus.

Xin Sheng's investment in the Caribbean world will be wasted, and the difficulty of completing tasks will inevitably increase significantly.

Most of the colonists and sailors in Durban Port were discussing the sudden storm, but Xin Sheng heard a news from a group of crew members from Britain.

"Have you heard that? Beckett from the East India Company has gone to the Caribbean because of his position."

"East India Company? Which country is from?"

"Of course it's us in the UK!"

"I have also heard that Beckett seemed to be named Lord by the King for his economic contributions to the country over the years."

"Sending him to the Caribbean Sea means that King William III has decided to vigorously intervene in the affairs of the New World."

Xin Sheng frowned after learning the news.

‘Beckett has already started to act and must hurry up and hope to find the treasure before the upheaval of the Caribbean.’

"Barbosa, don't let me down."
