Chapter 0176 Little Annie said, there must be light in this world(1/2)
After continuing to sail on the highway for two days, the Fearless, which had already been fully sailed and relied on the power of the magic sail, dragged two Spanish warships that had not put down any sails at all, and finally arrived on time after they were looking for treasure: Bailang Bay!
Bailang Bay, the once prosperous place on the Caribbean route, has now become an unmanned ruin.
At this time, it was already late at night. In addition to the quiet sea breeze and the stars in the sky, in this bay that had long been abandoned by the British, apart from the sound of waves, the entire port was empty, and only the dilapidated trestle on the shore that was immersed in the night, which was still telling the prosperity of the past here.
"Did you see it? There is nothing fun here, Lord Witch, I think, it's almost time for us to go back, right? Or, change the place to anchor?"
Barbosa began to come up again, and when he saw the scene around him, he felt a burst of panic.
Now, in this clear and moonless night, it was when the mermaids liked to float in the sea. He really didn't want to meet them here. So, Barbosa once again came to the little witch and tried to convince her to change her mind, even if she changed the place to rest, and waited for the day to come here to look for treasure.
"Is this Bailang Bay? What a good port, what a pity."
This was the first time Norrington arrived in Bailang Bay. He felt that it was a pity that it was close to the route and another excellent deep-water port.
Is it really because of the mermaid?
He looked at the dark sea outside the ship. The three of them had been here for a while and he had not found any marine creatures that could be equal to the mermaids. So, he was still a little suspicious of the real reason for the abandonment of the port.
Norrington felt that the British were forced to give up here by the mermaids? How could this be possible? How could the powerful and arrogant British Empire be scared by a group of marine creatures to give up this excellent natural deep water port?
So, he felt that there should be something hidden here that he didn't know, and it was definitely not as rumored, just because the mermaids are here?
"Everyone, be careful!"
The Spanish captain Hilton, on another ship, began to order his crew.
He knew a lot about the situation in Bailang Bay, and he knew even more that these mermaids were definitely not good at stakes!
Although there are many people here in their own fleet, and the powerful witches have guaranteed that something will happen, he has not yet felt confident after hearing the legends here and witnessing some things. He looked at the calm sea and felt more and more restless in his heart. He could only pray and cut a cross on his chest.
"This is Bailang Bay, right? Where are those mermaids? Where are the mermaids? I didn't see anything!"
Now, Little Annie's entire upper body was lying outside the railing of Chuan Hyun, but she did not see the legendary mermaids. The entire sea surface was dark, so where was there any mermaids?
Anne is looking forward to these mermaids!
While she was fooling around in the Azeroth world, she only saw those Nagas and deep-sea fishmen, but whether it was the hideous Nagas or those fishmen with huge heads and eyes, they were all incompatible with the word Beauty!
Even the female Nagas can also look at their faces, whether they are snake hair or multiple thin arms, they are even ugly than the fire demons in her family!
Little Anne has also heard that it is said that in the deep sea of their Valoran world, they are actually mermaids! They are still a special race, both men and women, but she has never seen them. Moreover, the Valoran world is super dangerous, and her mother Amore is very strict in her control, and Little Anne herself doesn't dare to run to the deep sea alone to play alone.
"Where is the mermaid?"
After searching the sea many times, little Annie was a little angry, so she turned her head impatiently and asked Jack Sparrow, who seemed to know a lot of things.
"Where are the mermaids you promised? Where are they? I didn't see anything!"
If these people were lying to her, Little Annie swears that they must look good!
At this moment, Annie had completely forgotten that the people who came to Bailang Bay to see the mermaids were actually the three witches' own ideas, and most of the others were opposed.
“…”
Jack Sparrow didn't say much, but walked carefully to the side of Chuan Hyun, then poked his head out and looked at the quiet and dark sea outside. After taking a look, he quickly shrank back.
"The mermaids are definitely in this sea area, I can guarantee this! Maybe they are sleeping now? Or... they need a little movement to get them out?"
Jack Sparrow said a little uncertainly, too.
"Anyway, their mermaids must be in this sea area!"
Of course he knew there were mermaids here and had been here, but every time he came here, he came and went in a hurry. He never thought about how to commit suicide to lead those mermaids.
"How can we lead them out? Where are they? I didn't see anything!"
Annie felt that she was about to get angry. She was visiting the mermaids, not the sea water.
They have been here for so long, and she has seen nothing except the dark sea water. If there is no mermaid in a while, she will have to go back to the captain's room to sleep, so that they will not care about the lives of these people!
"Uh...well, it's said that they like to listen to the songs sung by sailors... You might try it, let those sailors sing?"
Jack Sparrow thought about it and he thought that this should be a good idea.
Of course, the solution is to say it out, but the person who sang must not be himself! So, he quietly took two steps back inadvertently and stood a little further behind the witch, hoping that she would not notice him.
"Singing? This is simple!"
After knowing how to lead out the mermaid, Anne nodded and turned to the sailors who were also watching the excitement on the other side.
"Hey! Tell me! Who can sing? Sing quickly!"
Annieko was reluctant to stay on the deck all night, and now her patience was almost exhausted, so she began to urge the sailors to do what they ordered.
"No, no! Dear Lord Witch, we don't know how to sing, we are just vulgar sailors!"
Seeing the little witch looking at him and others, the sailors were so scared that they immediately left Chuan Hyun's guardrail, and retreated in one go, and waved their hands hard to refuse, "They were definitely not the ones who sang and passed the time on the deck before!"
What a joke? They have heard a lot of the legend of mermaids! They all know that if the mermaids really come out, the first ones to catch must be those who sing. The current situation is: Whoever sings will be unlucky!
They are just a group of sailors who are living around. They only made ten gold coins not long ago. Now they don’t want to die so quickly. Whoever loves to sing, should not come to them!
“…”
"That's right! That's right! We can't sing! Lord Anne, we really can't sing. Whoever comes up with the idea, who will you ask to sing?"
The other sailors who were swept by Anne's eyes also hurriedly agreed.
It was already very embarrassing for them to accompany the witch to Bailang Bay. Now, they even want them to sing and attract mermaids? Such a terrible thing is simply not to think about! They would rather be burned to death by the witch than be dragged to the bottom of the sea by the mermaid and then be eaten bit by bit by bit by bit!
"Hmph! You guys are useless! Isn't anyone able to sing?"
After seeing all the sailors retreated, little Anne could only retract her gaze bored and look at Jack Sparrow who gave the idea: "So, what about you? You should be able to sing, right?"
"No! Dear Lord Witch! I can't sing either! Really, can't! Look at how I look now, am I like a person with the art of singing?"
Jack Sparrow shook his head and grinned, revealing his gold teeth.
"They can't sing, neither do you! Then tell me, what should I do?"
Anne looked at Jack Sparrow with a threatening look. If he couldn't think of any other way, she would be ready to throw him onto the sea and try to see if this method could attract the mermaid.
In any case, she must be here tonight. She can't let her come from all the way to see those mermaids in this Bailang Bay port. She can't let her come from afar but can't see anything!
"Ha! There is! I suddenly remembered that mermaids like white moonlight very much!"
In order to get rid of the witch's entanglement and to avoid being ordered to sing forcibly, Jack Sparrow thought hard and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted.
Then, he pinched the orchid finger, trotted and walked to Anne's side, half-squatted down, and approached little Anne, pointing to a small hill in the harbor, where there seemed to be some tall building?
"Did you see that lighthouse? There is a British whale oil navigation light! As long as you send someone to light it, when its white light shines on the sea, I believe that it will definitely attract mermaids!"
It turns out that mermaids are a magical creature walking in the ocean like cats. During most of the day, they sleep deeply on the bottom of the sea.
Because if they float on the sea during the day, the direct explosion of the scorching sun will cause their delicate skin to dry and crack. Under normal circumstances, they will only emerge from the sea at night to move.
Therefore, on a moonless night, if there is no loud singing to attract them, you can also use the light of the navigation light to attract them to this sea surface. This is also the reason why the mermaid was attracted to Bailang Bay. The navigation light that uses whale oil as fuel is really too bright.
"That's a lighthouse?"
Anne looked up and looked into the distance. There was indeed a dilapidated lighthouse in the dim harbor.
She just wanted to see the mermaid and just want to be strange! She never thought that she would be so troublesome? Could it be that she would send someone to light up the lighthouse now? That would be too troublesome, right?
"Is it enough to attract them?"
After thinking about it, Annie decided to change a time-saving method. She didn't want to go to the lighthouse. It was so troublesome! If she just made a light source, she would do it herself.
"Yes, as long as there is enough light and the color of the moonlight should be fine. That lighthouse is a good choice."
"Ah! That... I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my stomach, so... you'd better send them up!"
Jack Sparrow replied affirmatively, and then he quickly reacted and immediately covered his stomach to replenish. After that, he made a special move away so that the little witch could see Norrington and Barbosa behind him who were watching the show.
"Well... my legs and feet have always been bad, and it seems a bit difficult to climb the lighthouse? So, I think Brigadier Norrington is a good choice."
Barbosa is not stupid either, so he wouldn't go to this muddy water!
It was not what he suggested to come to Bailang Bay! Besides, taking a boat to the shore is a life-and-death life, and it is very dangerous! Who knows whether a mermaid will suddenly appear on the dark sea surface? Then pull the people on the boat directly into the deep sea?
"I am the captain and I also need to direct sailors and soldiers to deal with emergencies!"
A cold light flashed in Norrington's eyes, and he looked at the two pirate leaders who wanted him to die with expressionless face. He had recorded this Liangzi today. If he had the chance in the future, he would have a day to settle with these two pirates.
“…”
Seeing the three of them shirking each other, it seemed that they could not count on them anymore. Then, the others must be the same as them, right? These people were very sly! Although, she herself had never thought of asking them to go to the ragged lighthouse.
Sure enough, when Anne looked at the other onlookers, she was so scared that she rushed back and retreated further away, looking at her with a look of fear.
Look! Look at them like this, Annie thinks that she should not count on them.
"Forget it, I don't have to bother you like this. I'd better do it myself!"
Little Annie turned her head angrily and looked at the sea. Isn’t it just that she needs some light? She has ten thousand ways to create bright light, and she is a super powerful mage.
However, now she needs to think about which method is better to use? There are too many magics that can create light. Almost all flame spells can emit fire. If it is fireball, it is usually just red light, which seems to be different from moonlight?
If that's the case, you can only try another spell.
"Sister Cecilia, and Sister Christina! You guys are ready, I want to teach you a new spell!"
After saying that, Annie stretched out her finger, pointed to the sky, and whispered in her mouth: Fluorescent light flashes!
