0296 Bloodway
Turtle Island, Pirates' Temple.
This pirate island hanging at the exit of the Wind Strait is the Antarctic of the Bahamas. From a geographical point of view, it should be regarded as Lu Yan of Hispaniola Island.
It has a narrow island body, thirty-two kilometers long and less than five kilometers wide. It extends four feet and embraces the bay.
These extended beaches and cliffs make its outline look like a turtle lying on the sea. The sea fog that rises from time to time makes its location looming. Even near the more developed French San Domingo colony, it will not attract too many visits.
Islands like this are everywhere in the Caribbean Sea, and the reason why Turtle Island can be selected by the picky pirates is because it has the most valuable fresh water on the sea.
There is a quiet volcano in the center of this island, and there is a water source on the southern foot of the volcano, just like the gift of nature, outlining a miracle silver belt in the island, making the entire island endless water source.
The abundant freshwater resources shape the dense vegetation on the island, and the dense vegetation has also attracted the tropical ecology all over the mountains.
Lorraine has always been curious about how those species that fear the ocean took root on islands.
Although later generations clearly told him that most terrestrial animals migrated in ancient times before land passages were flooded by sea water.
Anyway, it's very magical.
In contrast, there are not so many magical people on the island.
Because humans can build ships, pirates can drive ships.
Pirates who were born towards the sea took root on this small island hundreds of years ago. The history of human settlements is no different from the time when the Spaniards opened up a new continent.
But even after such a long period of time and prosperity, the sea wanderers who are not in production have not been able to leave civilization on this island, and even a decent pier was not established on the tortuous coastline here.
"Pirates... what is the value of this species to humans?"
Facing the sea breeze, Lorraine muttered to herself with a playful smile.
"reef!"
"Pay attention to turbulence, be careful of bumps, and inform the brigades to pay attention to coordination!"
"The admiral has an order! The brigade does not dock, and the anchor is placed on both sides of the flagship. All maintain the third-level alert and the third-level alert!"
"Now the tide is low, be careful to strand. The right rudder is full, and it is horizontal!"
With a message, the Jindeer slowly and steadily turned the bow, and the iron anchor sank, smashing into the floating sand at the bottom of the water, fixing the entire ship on the sea surface more than ten meters away from the beach.
Lorraine saw the God of Love and the Three-Eyed Crow.
They stayed about twenty meters away from the Golden Deer in a symmetrical way, turning their heads in order to 45 degrees of incline to the opposite sea area, and fully exert the density and power of the side gunfire.
Seeing their appearance, Lorraine burst into laughter.
"Are you going to bomb the Turtle Island with horizontal Golden Deer and oblique brigades? It's so nervous."
Dylan, who is responsible for coordinating the overall operation of the fleet, said with seriousness and seriousness on his face.
"Admiral, be prepared for any trouble! Barto prepared fifty guards for you, all equipped with long and short guns, and he led the team himself..."
"Look at the colorful skeletons on the tip of our mast, old Dylan, don't ignore our identity." Lorraine smiled and pointed to the flying pirate flag. "This is a temple. Even if it is a little more decorated, as pirates, we don't need to be nervous here."
Dylan did not relax because of Lorraine's advice: "Admiral, what you are going to be Tortuga. Everyone there is a dirty scum and scum, and there is nothing else but life, you are completely different from them!"
"I always feel that you even scolded me..." Lorraine rolled her eyes, "But this doesn't matter, well... there is no need for fifty guards. Let's take each one back, I only take Henna, and you ask Barto to reduce the guards to thirty people, at least one of the boats is spacious..."
...
The boat was lowered and carried Lorraine, Henna and her guards toward the beach.
But the boat is still a little overloaded.
Although he agreed with the tense temporary seafarers, Barto conspired with Dylan and still tried different ways to stuff people into the boat.
The guard is the guard. In addition to the guard, each boat also needs four paddlers and two guards, which means 12 more people. In addition, 33 landed on the island, the charge boat with a load of 40 people was stuffed into 45 people.
Fortunately, they took care of Lorraine's arrogance. 30 of the 45 people crossed the sub-boat in the arrangement of canned sardines. There were only 15 people in the main boat in Lorraine, barely meeting the requirement of spaciousness.
Lorraine could only laugh at this kindness.
The place they are going to is called Tortuga, and the literal translation of the Spanish is Turtle Island.
As the origin of the name of Turtle Island, it has now become a special name for pirates, referring to the pirate holy land located in the depths of the jungle and the location of the Brothers on the Sea.
Katerina said that it was a wooden dome hall built by a small lake, which enshrines the first book of the Pirate Code by Morgan and the [New Classic] written by the black quasi-baron Pavlomou, the "pirate pseudo-emperor" black baron Pavlomou. Just like the meaning of the Old Testament and the New Testament to Christians, it is a holy object in the pirate world.
The Brotherhood of the Sea and the resentment and fame of the kings of the sea in history guard them.
That's the truth.
The Brotherhood at Sea is a 12-person veteran institution, known as the Guardian of the Code, each of which has been exposed to the Morgan chart that inherits the honor of pirates.
Whether it is the lucky one who handed over the picture to the Brotherhood or the ambitious one who joined the King of Competition, their names will be recorded by the Brotherhood.
When the 12 people appear to have vacancies, someone will find them in order and ask them if they are willing to sacrifice their pirate ships to the tomb of the east head of Turtle Island, and from then on, they will become the guardian of the code who will accept all pirates and remain neutral forever.
Most pirates could not tolerate such simple temptation, especially in legend, a pirate swore on the gallows to become the guardian of the code, but was released by the execution of the navy on the spot.
In Lorraine's opinion, rumors like this that obviously gigged for him are not credible at all, but he is here to report today. Since he wants to use it, he is willing to support the other party's political propaganda.
Yes, navies all over the world wear pairs of pants with pirates.
These illegal people who could not even build a wharf are widely respected around the world, such as King George of England, King Louis of France, and others, who dare not touch their tiger beards at all.
Or… orcas?
Walking along the beach, Lorraine and the guards slowly walked to the middle of the island.
Along the way, he was embraced by waves and dense forests, and there were almost no traces of people except for the pirate ships that were seen from time to time on the sea.
Until here, he saw two obviously artificially pruned oak trees, one bent to the left and the other bent to the right, with branches and leaves entangled, forming a towering door.
On the bark, someone wrote messy handwriting in blood-like paint.
【BLOOD WAY】
The bloody path, a path full of blood, also has a special meaning in China, that is, the alias of the animal realm.
Lorraine couldn't help laughing.
"I'm concerned about the mysterious, but the name of the road is appropriate. Unfortunately, the person who named the name probably won't understand the meaning of the name, and it would be a waste to simply scare people."
Henna was interested in these weird things as usual, raised her hand and tightened her wide coat, exposed her face and asked, "What's the waste?"
"Yutu, I think it's too wasteful to hide such a domineering name on a deserted island."
Henna curled her lips disdainfully: "Even Asathin's holy mountain dares to claim to be a bloody road, just a pirate..."
Lorraine laughed and laughed: "It seems like you have been to the Holy Mountain."
"I went to Holy Mountain with my father when I was a child, but it was corrupt there. After the fall of Eagle Nest City, no one stayed there."
"That was expected, too." Lorraine shrugged, "Please cheer up, gentlemen, we are about to visit the legendary Marine Brotherhood, and don't let anyone look down on Drake's descendants."
