Chapter 175

"This...how is this possible?" Vincent looked at the calculation result in his hand with a look of disbelief, "How did that ship manage to maintain the highest speed during so many voyages?"

"If the above records are not falsified, then its speed should be more than twice as fast as that of contemporary merchant ships, which is a bit too exaggerated." Billy also said, he should be the most vocal person among the four, I have spent half of my life at sea, and I know that there are many factors that affect the speed of a ship. Usually, no matter how skilled the sailor and helm are, they cannot control the changes in the natural environment.

"So now we not only don't know where the people on that ship are going, but we also have one more question, why can that ship sail so fast?" Annie raised her eyebrows.

"These two questions may be the same question." Zhang Heng patted the young ship doctor on the shoulder, "Can you translate all the three notes, especially the love poems?"

The latter nodded, "No problem, anyway, I don't have anything else to do these days."

"Very good, but right now our main focus is on the Spear of the Goddess." Zhang Heng said to Billy, "The distance between us should be very close, let's raise the top sail again when the weather clears. "

"learn."

…………

The empty Clark boat mysteriously appeared in the heavy rain, and then disappeared mysteriously when the weather was about to clear up. The sailors in charge of searching for the target climbed up to the observation deck after the rain stopped, but there was no trace of it in the vast sea.

It was like a ghost, appearing and leaving without a sound. If it weren't for the two boxes of silverware on board, everyone couldn't help but wonder if all this was just a dream.

Zhang Heng also checked the two boxes of silverware carefully afterwards, but like the ring and necklace, he did not get the prompt to obtain the game props. This can be regarded as a reasonable use of the rules of the game. After all, judging from the situation on the ship, the above People probably encountered some supernatural phenomenon, and if something that caused them to encounter an accident was also brought on board, it would probably bring trouble to the Jackdaw, but the final result was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Zhang Heng's investigation of the matter on the Clark ship was not purely out of curiosity. He did not forget what the weirdo in Tang suit told him before. The latter told him that he would gradually come into contact with the truth of the world as the game developed.

Ever since he got that double-scale watch with 24 extra hours and started playing monthly games, his life has gradually deviated from the normal track. At first he thought that the real world had changed, but as Mores Especially after witnessing the wall that can swallow people, he gradually realized that perhaps what changed was not reality, but the way he viewed the world.

Maybe those things have been there for a long time, but few people have noticed what they really look like.

Except for [Moment of Shadow] and [Key of Shadow], the props in Zhang Heng's hands can be found on Google or Baidu pages related to legends and stories. This may not be a coincidence.

Although he has obtained some supernatural items in the previous rounds of the game, he rarely has the opportunity to get in touch with the stories behind those items. If he can figure out what happened on the Clark ship, maybe he can also have a better understanding of the real world. Learn more about what those things are, where they come from, and what their purpose is.

However, he did not forget the main task of his voyage this time. Although the two boxes of silverware are worth some money, there is not much left in the hands of 62 people. Everyone is looking forward to this trip to sea, so the top priority now is to win the Spear of the Goddess first.

Twenty-two days have passed since the Jackdaw left the port. This time they were lucky and encountered several merchant ships. However, Zhang Heng did not order the attack in order not to delay the time. So on the afternoon of the twenty-second day, The Jackdaw finally found its hunting target on the sea.

But the current situation is a bit special.

"It should be Black Prince Sam's Vader in front, sorry, they rushed over after hearing the news," Billy said.

Black Prince's Vader is a pirate ship with the same reputation as Nassau and Blackbeard's Sea Lion, and it is also one of the most powerful pirate groups in this sea area. In terms of ship performance alone, Vader is still higher than Sea Lion .

This ship was launched in London for the first time two years ago. It was named after Ouidah, a trading city in West Africa. It is the best slave ship in the Atlantic Ocean. When there is no wind and head wind, the power can be provided by the oars at the bottom, and the ship is also equipped with heavy firepower.

Captain Lawrence had confidently stated that investors would make a lot of money in the future. As a result, the black prince led the pirates to make dumplings on the first voyage, and finally had to choose to surrender. Although he saved his life in the end, The Vader then became Sam's flagship.

After Billy recognized the Vader, he turned the copper telescope to the other side. There was another pirate ship northwest of the Spear of the Goddess, which was the reason why the Vader did not attack.

What Billy focused on was the black flag raised by the other party, but the pattern on it was something he had never seen before, "This boat... doesn't look like it belongs to Nassau."

Nassau is the most famous pirate port in the Caribbean, but it does not mean that all pirates come from here. There are also large and small pirates active in places other than New Providence Island, which are occasionally encountered when sailing. .

The Vader and the other unknown pirate ship also spotted the new predator, but the Spear of the Goddess didn't move at all, probably because the two pirate ships and the three pirate ships were no different to them. .

However, with the lessons learned from the past, no one felt that the whaling ship was about to be captured without a fight. They were obviously waiting for an opportunity. The more chaotic the situation at this time, the better for them.

The current situation is a bit tricky.

The three ships surrounded the Spear of the Goddess from three directions, and at the same time were on guard against each other, but their psychological activities were different. Da, had been at a disadvantage during the confrontation before, but Vader had to consider the possibility of letting the Spear of the Goddess escape after the two sides fought. Seeing that a third party joined them at this time, they were also relieved.

But when he thought that he had another competitor, his mood became complicated again.
