Chapter 185 An Odyssey

After selling Aztec gold coins, Jackdaw finally had no trouble and could continue sailing without any worries.

After enjoying the free time in Cadiz for a few days, the sailors returning to the Jackdaw became more energetic and shouted horns and pulled the sails under the shouts of Kegan.

Carlett Beckett has set out to the Caribbean Sea, and Xin Sheng must seize the time to start acting.

After leaving the Port of Cadiz, Jackdaw drove away from the Mediterranean and entered the North Sea, sailing straight to the Great Britain Island.

Barbosa's lover Margaret Smith lives in London. As long as she can get Galileo's notes from her, Xin Sheng can start a treasure hunt.

This treasure is extraordinary, and it is said that those who hold it can command the five oceans.

Xin Sheng had doubts about this statement because this treasure, which should be a magical weapon, was cut off by an ordinary sword without any eloquence in the movie.

It's Poseidon's Trident...Pirates of the Caribbean World Version.

Unlike the trident that Xin Sheng obtained from Atlantis, the Poseidon Trident in the Pirates of the Caribbean is a purely magical version without any technological ingredients.

It is impossible to confirm how many years ago the gods of this world were, but at least it has been thousands of years.

It is initially speculated that because it was buried for too long, most of the magical power in the Poseidon Trident was lost, and the material of the artifact itself became very fragile, and it was finally cut off by ordinary mortal weapons.

In other words, the legend of getting the Trident Order of the Five Oceans will definitely be greatly reduced.

Xin Sheng had no expectations for the Five Oceans. In order to highlight the enemy's style, the characters and artifacts that the Caribbean Pirates played were praised for being unparalleled in the world, but at the end of the film, it was discovered that it was actually that way.

In Xin Sheng's eyes, the trident in the Pirates of the Caribbean world is a magical tool containing energy and can be absorbed by the system.

Perhaps there is still a part of the divine power left by Poseidon in the trident, which can play an important role at critical moments, but it is impossible to truly command the five oceans.

Before leaving the Mediterranean, Xin Sheng subconsciously looked in the direction where Greece was. He was a little missed the adventure of traveling through ancient Greece with Kassandra and Natiya.

However, Greece in this era has long since disappeared from the strength of ancient Greece. It was annexed by the rising Ottoman Empire as early as the 15th century and became a vassal of foreign tribes.

As a conceptual historian, Herodotus was very clear about this history.

Although he and Barnabas and others did not have the memory of taking risks with Xin Sheng in the world, they at least remember that Greece was their hometown.

On the night when the moon is sparse, the lights gradually fade out on the Jackdaw, which is temporarily anchored in the middle of the sea.

"Yeah~"

Xin Sheng at the desk put down the Qiankun map that he had been studying, stood up and stretched his body.

The whispers from the deck attracted Xin Sheng's attention. When he opened the door of the captain's room, Xin Sheng saw four people standing on the bow of the boat and talking in a low voice.

"Hirodotus, Barnabas, Kegan, and Angelica."

Xin Sheng walked behind the four people curiously and asked, "It's midnight, why are you gathering here?"

Angelica said embarrassedly: "I am begging Herodotus to tell the history of ancient Greece. He knows a lot of unofficial history that is not recorded in regular history books."

"Ancient Greece."

Xin Sheng patted Barnabas and Kegan on the shoulders and guessed why they would also participate.

Ancient Greece and ancient Rome are two milestones in the history of Western civilization.

There was a saying in later generations that only ancient Greece and Rome could truly represent Western civilization.

Later Westerners only destroyed the descendants of the Germanic barbarians of ancient Rome and failed to inherit the true essence of Western civilization, so they developed the barbaric national style that Western countries plundered.

Xin Sheng didn't know whether this rumor was true or false, at least the Anglo-Saxons in the UK were indeed descendants of the German barbarians.

It was the descendants of these barbarians who created the so-called Empire of Sun Never Setting, which plundered colonies everywhere around the world, and shamelessly called themselves a gentleman in the civilized empire, but took pride in burning, killing, looting.

Old double standard person.

The less you lack, the more you want to get what you want. What you can't get is the best. This is human nature.

Later Westerners highly praised the philosophy and culture of the ancient Greek era, and Greek myths were widely used in various popular novels and films and TV dramas.

The Pirates of the Caribbean series is no exception, and Calypso is one example.

The legendary crew's experience on Greek adventures was blank, and crude people like Barnabas and Kegan didn't care much about it.

But as a literati, Herodotus, who was more delicate in mind, has always been resentful about this.

As they got along more and more, Xin Sheng's relationship with the crew became better and better. He began to consider whether to retell some of their adventures.

Since Angelica is still present, Xin Sheng can only temporarily press this idea.

Taking a deep breath, Xin Sheng started singing songs in standard ancient Greek.

"Ιδο?του?αστ?ρα?(gaze the stars)"

"Υπ?τα?ρηκαιτοναλ?γιστονπ?ντον (hangs high above the sea)"

"?ριστοιτwνητ?ρwν (Survey your dreams)"

"Οιθεο?ραερουσιντου?τολμ?ντα?,ευκαρδ?ου?προσκοπwντονσφwνπ?τμον (The gods will favor those who dare to look directly at them, and their fate will also make them brave)"

Although Xin Sheng's voice is not as talented, he is still a person who was once called KTV's tycoon by his classmates. He grasps the tone very accurately. He seems to be telling the myths of the ancient Greek period under the quiet moonlit night.

Herodotus and the other two were excited at the same time. The sailors who were sleeping in the cabin also opened their eyes one after another and listened to the wonderful singing from the deck in a daze.

This song was taught to Kassandra by Mirinje and was said to be passed down from her father Leonidas.

Kassandra taught Natiya this song, which Xinsheng learned from Natiya.

The name of this ancient Greek folk song is Odyssey. Xin Sheng likes the melody and lyrics of this song very much.

Although Angelica cannot understand the meaning of the lyrics, she can feel the emotions given by Xin Sheng in the singing.

In the emotions of missing the past, I have the open-mindedness of continuing the past and opening up the future.

As the song came to an end, the sailors walked up to the deck from the cabin and listened silently to the complete song.

“Ha~”

The singing stopped, and after a few seconds, Herodotus sighed with emotion.

"What a song, I seem to have seen that magnificent era with my own eyes."

"Thank you, Captain."

Herodotus walked up and hugged Xin Sheng heavily: "I have been a little confused about the blank past before. From your singing, I feel the freedom to leave the past and continue to move forward."

"Maybe, it's time to let it go."

Xin Sheng patted Herodotus on the back: "I'm sorry I can't put myself in my shoes and understand your feelings, but if you really want to know your past experiences, I will take the time to tell you slowly."

"Smack~"

Xin Sheng clapped his hands and said to the sailors who were still immersed in the afterglow: "Okay, let's go back and rest, and you'll get up early tomorrow."

"People who can't get up will be hung on the sail by Barnabas to blow the wind, and move!"

"Hahaha!"

The sailors returned to the cabin with laughter, and Xin Sheng waved his hand to say goodbye to the four people behind him.

"It's getting late, so you can rest early."

Looking at Xin Sheng's back as he waved his hand, Angelica seemed to be shining with stars in secret.

"Are pirates so many talented?"

Angelica's fan-like expression made Herodotus and the other two look a little weird.

Barnabas couldn't help laughing: "Miss Angelica, in the words of the captain, everyone is an independent existence, and a certain group cannot represent a single entity."

"At least in our minds, the captain is unique."
