From some point on, a strange legend began to pop up among the pirates operating in the waters near the Arabian Peninsula.

A devil ship appeared in this sea area, constantly looting all the pirates. No pirate could escape the poisonous hand. The ship was so weird. The hull was not wood, but metal. Although it was white, it emitted a metallic luster under the sunlight.

Whenever the ship appeared, it always carried a roll of smoke, which was mysterious. Someone once saw that the ship not only had sails, but also had several huge cylinders on its hull.

And whenever that ship comes with rolling smoke, no ship can escape its pursuit, no matter how big or small or how wind is.

The ship appeared in this sea like a devil. No ship attacked by it has been completely preserved, only wreckage.

This legendary devil ship is naturally Zhao Weiji's Black Pearl. The reason why he attacked the pirate ship was because his words "The pirate who can defeat pirates should be the Pirate King, and he is the man who wants to become the Pirate King, so the target of the Black Pearl attack was reduced from all passing ships to a simple pirate ship.

Although the pirate ships of this era do not scrape a skeleton flag on the highest mast like the legendary pirates of the Caribbean, since the pirate ships are used to hijack other ships, there will naturally be some modifications on the hull for combat.

These transformations can be seen, but telescopes are needed to discover these transformations without being approached by pirate ships.

Because the Black Pearl has a telescope and has sextant and compass as a sea positioning, it can always appear in a direction that the pirate ship cannot imagine.

The reason why it is said that whenever the Black Pearl appears, it always carries thick smoke. It is because Zhao Weiji approaches the target as soon as possible without being affected by the wind. Therefore, at this time, steam power is activated to push the ship, which leads to thick smoke.

As for the legendary metallic luster, it is because of the steel wrapped in the outer layer of the hull. The only ships that were robbed are left with ruins, and naturally it is the result of the shelling.

However, since all this is too magical for the pirates of this era, Zhao Weiji's name as Pirate King was not obtained, and the devil ship was confirmed.

When they attacked the first target, the pirates who survived the target ship returned to the shore, which was told.

"We met the devil. Their ship was so fast that it was still moving towards us quickly in the wind. Then we heard a few loud noises, our mast broke and our deck exploded.

Then our ship was completely moved closer by the devil ship. The people who jumped to our side on the ship were all magical people. They held a huge staff with a hole at the top of the staff.

Every time they cast a spell, they would be accompanied by a sound of "Bang", and then our companions fell down, and a hole appeared on the fallen companions, and blood was so scary.

When they ransacked the gold and freshwater from our ship, they left. But before the matter was over, there were huge sounds on the devil ship after leaving. Then with the sound, our ship seemed to be hit by huge stones, causing a huge impact, and an explosion, and finally our ship disintegrated."

When these survivors describe their death process, their entire mental state is abnormal. They are always immersed in huge fear and cannot extricate themselves.

At first, no one believed their statement on land. Everyone thought that these people must be crazy. The mast was broken for no reason, the deck exploded, and the magic of opening a hole in a slight sound. This is simply a fantasy.

Since these people were pirates before, they were soon captured by the rulers of this land after they got ashore. However, when they were arrested, they continued to repeat the previous story, hoping that someone would believe them.

But what I don't believe is that not only no one believes them, they are also added to the charge of pirates to promote witchcraft and the devil.

Because in the Qur’an, all magic, witchcraft, and wizards are one of the seven major sins. Anyone who commits such sins has only one fate that will await them, and that is death.

So these people who were originally just pirates and never died were all executed, and they were the most cruel hanging.

However, these rulers, the Mullah of Islam (equivalent to the Catholic bishop), did not expect that this rumor not only did not stop, but began to become more and more intense.

More versions began to spread, and more people's original pirates came ashore and told the story of their attack. There is only one core of all versions, that is, an unprecedented devil ship appeared.

Of course, there are also merchants who have been troubled by pirates for a long time who believe that it is not a devil ship, but a divine messenger sent by Allah Allah to save them. Therefore, in private, the Black Pearl was called Adam on the sea by these Muslim merchants (Andang of Islam) by these Muslim merchants. Before going to sea, in addition to praying to Mecca, they would also secretly pray to the Black Pearl, which is their Adam on the sea.

Zhao Weiji did not expect that his actions would have brought such a big response on the peninsula. He still ordered the sailors to drive the Black Pearl to wander around the waters around the peninsula every day, but he found that there were fewer and fewer pirates.

As there were fewer and fewer pirates, Zhao Weiji's daily "hunting" fun decreased a lot, but he still did not set out to land and go to Baghdad. Instead, he found a small island near Africa in the south of the peninsula and stopped.

Because too much gold has been accumulated on the Black Pearl at this time, all of them are snatched, so you can spend some of these golds at this time.

After Zhao Weiji established a temporary base on this island, he asked Wang Dayuan to take a group of people and gold to drive a ship they grabbed, which was much smaller than the Black Pearl, to the Port of Aden.

Zhao Weiji needed Wang Dayuan to buy a big ship there, which could allow most people to ride together, but the stolen small boat could not carry too many people.

Now the Black Pearl is too conspicuous. Zhao Weiji and the others do not know what kind of reputation the Black Pearl has on the peninsula today, because after grabbing the small boat, Wang Dayuan also brought people to the port of the peninsula to replenish supplies, and naturally heard the legend of the devil ship.

So it is basically impossible to drive the Black Pearl into the Persian Gulf and not be recognized. Fortunately, they snatched a lot of gold and used this gold to buy a suitable big ship.

...

"It's a pity that the Suez Canal has not been built yet, otherwise I really would like to go to Europe directly." After Wang Dayuan and Yang Hua left, Zhao Weiji stayed bored in this temporary base.

"Dad, what is the Suez Canal?" Zhao Linger, who happened to be saying that he had finished reading his book, heard it.

"It's just a canal, but it seems that it has not been completed yet, and it will be completed in the future. Have you finished reading the book?" Zhao Weiji couldn't explain to his daughter where the Suez Canal was, so he could only do it casually.

"I've finished reading."

"Then let's talk about what the book I read today mainly talks about."

After Zhao Weiji finished speaking, he heard Zhao Ling'er start to preach the preachings of several major characters in the book "The Three Kingdoms" I read today. Although Zhao Ling'er does not have the ability to remember Zhao Weiji, she still has a strong memory. Therefore, as long as she reads carefully, she can remember the main contents clearly after reading it.

After hearing what Zhao Linger said, Zhao Weiji nodded and signaled that today's mission was over.

After learning that his study mission was over today, Zhao Ling'er began to get a little restless: "Dad, who are we going out to grab today? We haven't gone to sea for several days."

It turned out that after robbing other pirates a few times, they found that it was basically a one-sided abuse during the battle. Later, every time they robbed, Zhao Weiji no longer let the two children hide in the cabin and not come out, but asked them to go to the lookout at the top of the mast to watch the fun.

So a few times later, these two naughty children became addicted to robbing pirates. After they had no goals to rob them in the past few days, the two children were even more unhappy than Zhao Weiji.

"No, no, didn't you go around the sea several times a few days ago, and only some ordinary merchant ships were found."

When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she lost interest because during the robbery, they all understood that those pirates were bad people, so we robbed them to punish evil and promote good. And ordinary merchant ships are good people, so they cannot rob them, otherwise they would be evil.

At this moment, when Zhao Ling'er heard that only ordinary merchant ships were sailing on the sea, she knew that it was an object that she could not be robbed, so she was not interested.

Zhao Weiji also saw that Zhao Ling'er was not interested, so she gave her a job: "Are you okay now? Go and stare at your brother and let him not be lazy in practicing martial arts."

It turned out that when Zhao Weiji discovered that physical work in housework could no longer bring any difficulties to Zhao Teng, he decisively changed a new method, which was to ask Zhao Teng to practice martial arts and ask Zhao Teng to connect with some basic martial arts.

This time was exactly the time for Zhao Teng to practice martial arts every day, so Zhao Weiji asked Zhao Ling'er to stare at Zhao Teng so that he would not be lazy.

Because Zhao Linger could not go out to steal pirates, she had the idea of ​​"torturing" her younger brother, so she ran to supervise Zhao Teng to practice martial arts.

Seeing Zhao Ling'er running to find Zhao Teng, Zhao Weiji had no intention of continuing to take him in the base, so he got up and walked to the beach.

And just as he walked to the beach where the Black Pearl was docked, the sailor on duty on the boat suddenly shouted at him: "Prince, it seems that a ship is driving towards this side."
