Chapter 148 Searching for information

Europe must pass through the Caribbean Sea to the New World, and the long route gives privateers and pirates enough opportunities to start.

After entering the 17th century, European countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands and Denmark began to intervene in the Caribbean Sea and compete with the local overlord Spain for control of the island.

But it was not until the second half of the 18th century that Britain gradually gained dominance in the Caribbean.

Even so, Spain still firmly occupies the largest Cuba island in the Caribbean.

In 1691, Jamaica, where Port Royal was located, was the main base of Britain in the Caribbean.

In order to gain profit from Spain's golden route, Britain encouraged privateers and pirates to rob Spain's specialties and property shipped to Europe.

Port Royal was such a place where dirt was hidden. The city was filled with pirates and privateers who were resting ashore. The local British governor always kept a blind eye to this.

The largest bar in Port Royal, Howling Oak.

The bar has always been a place of mixed feelings. Xin Sheng originally planned to come here to inquire about the information and learn about Colonel Norrington's promotion to brigade general.

As soon as he entered the noisy bar, Xin Sheng saw a more passionate melee than Boruto.

There were no forces in the chaos of the battle circle. These people seemed to be just drinking to vent their extra energy, greeting each other's family "intimately" with each other, waving their fists with wanton laughter on their faces.

In a bar full of white and black people, Xin Sheng's skin tone is more eye-catching.

Racial discrimination in this era is much more serious than that in the far modern era. Black people are called black slaves without any concealment. Yellow people will naturally be treated differently in the Caribbean.

Xin Sheng wanted to act low-key, but the drunks thought they had found a new entertainment program, so they surrounded Xin Sheng in groups.

When Xin Sheng heard the "yellow pig" spit out from the mouth of one of the drunkards with a flushed face, he kicked him a fatal chicken without hesitation.

"oh!"

The severe pain from his crotch seemed to have made the drunken man's alcohol feel much more awake. He made a strange cry like a rooster crowing, and his hands covered his crotch slowly fell down, and soon curled up into a ball of painful twitching.

There is really nothing to boast about fighting the drunkard. These unconscious-minded two-part people can't even go straight.

"Bang!"

After knocking over the last provocative drunkard with an elbow, Xin Sheng sat down in front of the bar.

“A glass of rum.”

The boss has long been used to the repertoire programs that are performed every day, so he smiled calmly and handed Xin Sheng the drinks.

"I haven't seen you before, I just came here? I'm pretty good."

"Yes, I happen to have a boat that I'm going to have a meal in the Caribbean."

While dealing with the boss's casual inquiries, Xin Sheng groped for money from the drunkard who fell to the ground.

After taking out a dirty purse, Xin Sheng also found a letter wrapped in leather.

“Private license?”

It was difficult to identify the fancy English that was very popular in this era, and Xin Sheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

‘The signature is... haha, this font is really hard to identify.’

‘Whetherby Swan, the Governor of Port Royal?’

Throwing the privateer permit to the bar, Xin Sheng asked indifferently: "Is this kind of privateer permit very common?"

“Look at the season.”

The bearded boss shrugged and said, "I'll remind you just now, don't think you can use it casually by getting someone else's privateer license, look here."

The boss pointed next to the Governor's signature and the fire paint: "Every privateer license has a name signed by the recipient, and the officials of the Governor's Office are not that easy to fool."

Xin Sheng didn't care much about this, his purpose was not just a certificate.

But through this privateer permit, Xin Sheng thought of a way to meet the governor.

“Is a privateer license difficult to obtain?”

The boss calmly wiped his wine glass: "Depending on the situation, if the governor just needs a large number of privateers to attack the Spanish fleet, it will be relatively easier to get a privateer."

"but……"

The boss looked at Xin Sheng’s appearance: “No matter whether the private placement license is issued, whether you were a merchant ship owner or a pirate before, as long as you have a ship, it’s easy to do.”

"But Port Royal privateer license will be given priority to your own people, and you... may be more difficult."

Xin Sheng smiled and temporarily revealed this topic.

"By the way, boss, I heard that Colonel Norrington will be promoted to brigade general recently. When is it exactly?"

"Just over a month later, the Governor invited a large number of celebrities from the Jamaican colonies to attend the promotion ceremony, and he seemed to attach great importance to Colonel Norrington."

The boss's expression suddenly became a little obscene, and he lowered his voice and said with a chuckling: "It is said that Governor Swan plans to marry his newly-grown daughter to Colonel Norrington, probably because he wants to use this to consolidate his rights."

"Col. Norrington is almost 30 years old and has not been married yet. He didn't expect that he was so lucky and got the opportunity to eat young grass in an old cow."

The administrators and military commanders of Port Royal were separated, and Governor Weatherby Swan was a typical civilian, and the task of leading the army was carried out by Colonel Norrington.

Xin Sheng could understand Governor Swan's intentions.

On the one hand, he wanted to find a promising husband for his daughter, and on the other hand, he also wanted to further expand his power, become a powerful governor in the military and political control, and enhance his position in the minds of the British senior officials.

The daughter of Governor Weatherby Swan is the heroine of the movie, Elizabeth Swan, a young girl in the rebellious period.

Xin Sheng cooperated with the boss and whispered to the boss some topics that men knew. He stood up and said goodbye to the boss after it was getting late.

Xin Sheng has obtained enough information during this trip to the bar.

...

"So, Captain, are you going to stay in Port Royal for the time being?"

"Um."

When chatting with the system-existing Barnabas, Xin Sheng always subconsciously confused him with the real body.

Apart from not having that memory, the replica Barnabas is no different from his personality. He is equally generous and generous, and good at making friends.

"I plan to wait until Norrington's promotion ceremony begins and get familiar with Port Royal to see if I can meet the Governor in the name of obtaining a privateer."

Port Royal, managed by the Governor of Swan, is the origin of the story of Pirates of the Caribbean. If you can establish a connection with him, you should gain a certain advantage when the plot is officially launched.

The Jackdaw has not yet obtained its official identity, but Xin Sheng can hang the British flag at will, but it is difficult to justify himself when meeting with real British officials.

After all, he does not have a definite identity proof, and his complexion is hard to believe in, unlike the British.

"Well, I will arrange the sailor shifts to get ashore and guard the boat, Captain, just take independent action."

To put it more, the legendary crew members shown in the system are not the artificial intelligence robots that Xin Sheng originally imagined, but the flesh and blood humans.

Or... clone?

They also know how to eat, drink, defecate, and have joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

The only thing that goes beyond common sense is that these crew members' loyalty to Xin Sheng has always been full, which can be viewed from the system panel.

‘In addition to making soulless bodies for me, the system can even copy and modify the human soul?’

This idea made Xin Sheng feel a little bit furious: ‘If the system plans to modify my memory…’

I realized Xin Sheng’s thoughts and the system explained in time: “Please don’t worry about this. This system solemnly promised under the name of oo that it will never interfere with the host’s soul and physical freedom in any form.”

“…What is that silent name?”

System: "The current strength of the host is too low, and as long as you hear the name, it will be affected accordingly. It is recommended that the host temporarily give up the in-depth investigation and strive to improve its strength."

‘Just hearing a name will be affected?’
