Chapter 107 The rookie captain who can only sail and the pirate who can't swim
"Poseidon?"
Of course, O'Neill knew Poseidon, one of the twelve main gods of Greece, the ruler of Atlantis.
Most pirates believe in Calypso, the goddess of the sea.
However, Poseidon's name is also known to everyone.
Dare to use the name of the sea god as the name of the ship, which shows this man’s ambition!
"The name is very good, but will it offend that sea god?"
Rorschach, who has learned about the world view of "Assassin's Creed", naturally knows that in this world, Poseidon is actually one of the members of the ancient race Yishu civilization.
It is only through the spread of human beings for thousands of years that they have gradually become gods in Greek mythology.
Besides, God is not afraid, will he still be afraid of a naked man holding a fork?
Of course, his not caring does not mean that he can ignore the crew's concerns.
Therefore, Rorschach still explained seriously the reason why he chose this name:
"On the contrary, this is awe of the vast sea and a determination to conquer the sea in the future! I believe that with the protection of Poseidon, we will be invincible on the sea!"
When a name is attached with meaning, it will suddenly become sacred.
Rorschach's reasonable and well-founded explanation successfully dispelled the concerns of O'Neal and other crew members, and even made them feel honored.
Navigating under the protection of Poseidon... How courageous and exciting this sounds!
...
The night became darker, but a ray of light slowly rose on the sea level.
Five hours have passed since Rorschach left Kingston.
During this period, since no one on the ship would take the helm, Rorschach, the new captain, could only control the rudder.
Fortunately, Rorschach was used to adjusting his sleep when he was a bounty hunter in the West World.
Even if he doesn't sleep for a day and a night, it won't have much impact on him.
Moreover, with the route provided by the old sailor, he only needs to follow the route and adjust the sails from time to time with the wind direction.
If they really want to rest, they can also find a small island and place an anchor to rest for a while until they set out after dawn...
At this time, O'Neal, who was carrying the oil lamp, followed his brother at all times, and the little O'Neal, who was like a shadow, came to the stern again.
He handed a bottle of rum that had been uncovered and Rorschach, and O'Neal raised his chin and said:
"This is what I found in the cabin, and according to the Pirate Code, you should enjoy this first bottle of wine first."
Hearing this, Luo Xia took it with one hand, took a mouthful of it, and responded casually: "Thank you, I'm just a little thirsty."
Rum is a favorite of pirates and a must-have.
By mixing it with drinking water, the microorganisms in the water can be killed and different flavors can be added. It can also prevent the occurrence of scurvy by adding sugar and lemon juice.
"I just went to the cabin, and the situation on the boat was much better than I thought."
With a raised brow, Roxar asked, "What do you mean?"
"The hull was not damaged, there was not much stain on the deck, the cannon bore and body were very clean, and the fuse was new, obviously this was a ship that was well maintained for daily life."
"I guess the Poseidon was parked in Kingston to unload and replenish supplies. However, before the supply was completed, we drove away."
Handing the bottle back to O'Neal, Rorschach couldn't help but joke: "Although I don't know who the captain is, it's such a bad guy..."
"Haha, I can't agree more. But his bad luck is our good luck."
The Poseidon is a standard Spanish brig sailboat with a total of sixteen cannons and eight cannons on both sides of the deck.
The Jackdaws in the game are also a ship of this type.
However, after the magic modifications of Ubisoft inventors, the firepower of the Jackdaw reached the level of a fourth-level battleship, with as many as forty to sixty guns!
Of course, games are games, and reality is reality.
For the Poseidon, which has less than twenty people on the ship, it doesn't matter whether there are cannons.
Because, their staff are seriously insufficient!
It would be good to allow the Poseidon to sail on the sea.
To make these sixteen artillery work, more crew members must be added...
He picked up the wine bottle, poured a large mouthful of tons into his mouth, and wiped the corners of his mouth casually. The quartermaster of the Poseidon continued:
"Although there is no valuable cargo. However, there are a lot of arms, sabers, flintlock pistols, and a lot of gunpowder, which are enough to equip all of us."
After a pause, O'Neal looked at Rorschach's outfit and suggested seriously: "You'd better choose some too, so that you can look more like a captain."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look later."
"As for cannons, we don't have enough staff now, so we can only hope that we won't encounter pirates who make our own decisions on the way..."
Hearing this, Rorschach couldn't help but ask a stupid question: "Will pirates attack other pirates?"
Fortunately, O'Neal also knew that this young man who seemed calm and had a leadership temperament was just a rookie who had just gone to sea not long ago.
Of course, you have to assist the captain you choose yourself.
If you don't understand things, just teach them yourself...
"This is of course. Pirates, after all, are a group of insatiable hell dogs. As long as they see any possibility of plunder, they will pounce on them without hesitation! What's more, what we are hanging now is the British flag..."
"So, I suggest we should go to Havana first to replenish water and food. Then we will return to Nassau, New Providence Island, the place called Pirates' Paradise."
Havana and Nassau, these two place names, sound both strange and familiar.
When playing games, these two places are the two places with the most scenes in the plot.
"Since the Utrecht peace agreement was signed, Nassau has become a country that welcomes all pirates. There, we can sell stolen goods, have fun, and recruit crew members. Everything the pirates need is there."
"After recruiting enough crew in Nassau, we can go out to sea and start our adventure!"
Seeing O'Neal's eyes full of desire for adventure, Rorschach couldn't help but empathize and nodded:
"I have no objection to the plan. However, you seem to be more suitable to be a captain than me."
"I?"
Big O'Neal was stunned and then waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm not the captain's material."
"Why?"
"A captain who can't sail can't be recognized. What's more,..."
Before Big O'Neal finished speaking, the little O'Neal, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and added to his brother:
“He can’t swim.”
As soon as these words came out, Rorsch looked at Big O'Neal's constipated expression and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, a pirate quator who can't swim, and a rookie captain who can only sail?"
"Oh, I've begun to worry about our future..."
