Chapter 281 Trident 2
After the tide of searching for tridents broke out, Jack no longer searched himself, but instead followed various news and searched with the help of others, but most of the information he got was specious.
After a few years, the storm gradually dissipated. After all, most of the places searched were dangerous places, and every time they were killed and injured, the pirates were fine, but they died if they died, and there was no need for pensions.
The exploration ships of European countries require a lot of money to recover, so they have not gained anything for several consecutive years and suffered heavy losses.
In addition, Jack Sparrow, who released the mission, did not move at all. The European countries were even wondering if this was Jack Sparrow's trick, which made the countries spend their power on finding the illusory trident. The European countries that suffered heavy losses were even weaker and had no strength to seize hegemony on the sea.
The strength of the pirates is increasing, and their chances of seizing maritime hegemony have become even more slim. After the first few years, countries no longer send ships looking for tridents, and no one goes there because of heavy casualties and injuries. Only a few people are left without giving up.
More than a decade of calmness made Jack Sparrow gradually give up looking for the trident. During this period, Allen never asked for any information, and he thought Allen had given up.
As the pirate king, he is drunk and dreaming every day. Taverns and brothels are his favorite places. Unlike before, he is no longer a down-and-out pirate who can't afford to pay for alcohol.
Captain Jack, who had just come out of the tavern that day, held a bottle of rum in one hand and hugged a prostitute in an exposed dress, shaking towards the port.
A noise suddenly came from the alley next to it.
"Catch her, catch the witch!"
"Damn it! Don't let her run away!"
"Heaven, she should be sent to the stake!"
When Jack heard the movement, he looked back and saw a figure running over quickly, chasing several soldiers behind him. Before he could react, several figures rushed past him. Jack Sparrow was knocked to the ground and slipped his feet and fell to the ground. Then a group of pigs rushed out of the alley, and pedestrians on the street were dodging.
When the pigs ran past, the prostitute had long since gone. Jack stood up staggeringly and looked up to drink a sip of rum, but there was no drop of wine in the bottle.
He discarded the bottle casually, and Jack Sparrow returned to the Red Dragon Maharaja with a stinking smell, directed the activation cable to load a few buckets of sea water, and after cleaning it, he walked into the captain's room staggeringly.
Lying on the sofa, Jack looked around with drunken eyes: "Come out!"
There was no movement in the room.
"Stop hiding, hiccup...ah, no one can escape my eyes on my boat!" Jack continued with a hiccup.
"How did you find me?" A cool voice sounded from behind the seat.
"Himmer... Put down the knife in your hand, it won't protect you." Jack reached out and grabbed the rum on the table and took a sip.
"Let me guess, you are that witch!"
"That's their slander, stupid people, I'm science, not witchcraft!" The voice suddenly became furious and explained loudly.
"Galileo is a scientist, and I am also studying science. It is not the divination witchcraft that the so-called priests say."
"Okay, okay, you're not a witch, but you put down the knife first. Although I'm not worried that it will hurt me, I don't like being pointed at by the knife." Jack Sparrow glanced at the woman in front of her. She was a little thin and looked a little malnourished, but she had a beautiful appearance, a tough face, and a stubborn look in her eyes.
"No, I'm not at ease. Who knows if you, a drunk, will sell me to those people for the bounty?" the woman said toughly.
"What a trouble, tie it up!" Jack Sparrow said with a wave of his hand.
A black rope rushed over instantly, and before the woman could react, she tied her into a rice dumpling.
"Let me go! What's this!"
"It's so noisy!" In an instant, the rope strangled the woman, and she could only make a "um" sound.
"Let you stay honestly and not listen, and insist on me to do it!"
"How is it like being tied up?" Jack walked to the woman with a bottle.
"Himmer..." A hiccup brought out the rich and sour smell of the stomach that had been digested for a night, and directly sprayed it on the woman's face. The woman who was struggling suddenly stopped struggling, rolled her eyes by the smell, and looked like she was desperate.
"Uh, sorry, I couldn't help it!" Jack was embarrassed and shrugged with his fingers.
"Let her go!" Seeing the woman rolling her eyes, Jack let her go.
"Vomit...Vomit..." The woman squatted on the ground with tears on her face, and she kept retching in her mouth, but she didn't vomit anything.
"Okay, let's talk about your problem now!" Jack pulled a clean napkin from the table. He handed it to her casually, turned around and returned to his seat and said.
"What's your name? Why did they catch you?"
"Vomit..." After a while, the woman looked at Jack with lingering fear and looked at the rope that had tied her up just now and said, "Karina Smith, a person who believes in science."
"What's that?"
"Didn't you be caught because of it?" Jack smiled slightly.
"Witchcraft? Is there really witchcraft?" Karina asked in surprise.
"Don't science exist too? So what's strange about witchcraft!" Jack gestured exaggeratedly.
"Is it because you studied science and challenged theology?"
"My neighbor said I was a witch, I was studying witchcraft. After searching my residence, the priest thought I was a witch, studying astrology, stealing God's secrets! Damn, they are just pre-stored idiots, that's science, I was studying the starry sky!" When Karina mentioned this, she couldn't help it.
"What are you doing when you study the stars?" Jack asked strangely.
"Look for my father!"
"He left behind a notebook, which records knowledge about the starry sky!" Karina said.
"This notebook was left by Galileo, and it is said that it records a secret about the ocean!"
"There are so many secrets in the ocean! Why do you want to find your father through this?" Jack looked at the broken notebook in her hand, which had an extremely beautiful ruby on the surface.
"This is the biggest secret in the ocean. If you find it, you can get countless wealth. This must be the clue left by your father!" Karina said excitedly.
"The biggest secret, the biggest, the biggest, the infinite wealth?" Jack murmured in a low voice.
"Hey! Help me find my father, how about the wealth you get!" Karina said in her heart as she looked at Jack's appearance.
"Do you want infinite wealth?" Jack came back to his senses and said.
"No, I want to find my father!"
"You just believe me so, you know I'm a pirate!" Jack Sparrow grinned, revealing a big gold tooth.
"Pirates!" Karina hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Pirates are pirates. Anyway, the sea is ruled by pirates, and pirates have principles."
