0066 Macaw

This large-scale attack on vampire bats caused heavy losses to the expedition.

Four people fell into the water one after another, but seven people were injured to varying degrees, including Yacharin.

Whether to fall into the water seems to be a criterion for determining the severity of the injury.

Because people who did not fall into the water were generally not seriously injured, and those who fell into the water...

Two of the four died of excessive blood loss, and the other two were caught in more energy and less energy when they were caught. At first glance, the medicine stone was ineffective and was only one step away from death.

The injury was so tragic, mainly because the saliva of the vampire bat contains thrombin.

This special enzyme kills platelets in large quantities, prevents blood from coagulation, and makes it easier to absorb.

Their alienated fangs and foraging habits are also good at tearing huge wounds near blood vessels, further accelerating the passage of blood.

Everyone knows that even if Lorraine immediately terminates the expedition and sends them back to the Butterfly Flower, they will not be able to survive tonight.

After obtaining their consent, Lorraine ordered the people to end their lives, collect the relics, and the bodies sank into the sea and go to the destination of every sailor.

The funeral was cast in everyone's heart. The team lost its original scattered laughter. After more than half an hour in silence and stability, they finally heard the sound of the waves slamming the shore.

The shore waves mean that they have arrived at the end of the waterway.

"Check the oars!" Lorraine's voice echoed in the deep and dark waterways, stirring up echoes and reaching everyone's ears.

Lorraine stood up, stepped on the shaking board and walked straight to the bow of the boat, raised the torch and shook the tall black shadow in front of her for a few times.

"Is this... a sailing boat?"

They found a Brig sailing boat at the end of the waterway...

Standard double-brig full-equipped horizontal sail frigate, 30 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 5.5 meters high.

Her double-side cannon door was closed, and she was anchored at the end of the undulating and dark waterway, like a silent giant beast, lying at the entrance of hell.

This made Lorraine lose her thinking for a while.

Standard sailing ships are a trend that only emerged after the maturity of the warship grading system. Their origins can only be traced back to the early and mid-17th century, when the British and Dutch had lasted for several years. The history of the history is not long.

In that era, the warships of Britain and the Netherlands, Chibo, took up the battle and plundered their opponent's merchant ships on the vast sea, in order to cut off their opponent's business path.

Merchant ships could only maintain trade under the escort of warships.

In order to adapt to the speed and formation of fully equipped sailing warships, merchants were forced to abandon the original style of mass shipbuilding and quickly formed a new shipbuilding standard for offshore merchant ships to be built casually and ocean-going merchant ships as uniform as possible.

It was from then on that the term "standard size" began to emerge.

A modern-day Brig frigate suddenly appeared in a treasure cave in the 9th century, and the sidelights were completely gone, and it looked empty...

Lorraine couldn't help but lick her lips.

"By the side. Noah and I boarded the ship first, and behind Henna, Yacharin was responsible for commanding the sailors."

He ordered softly.

Two small boats leaned together, four sailors jumped to the front boat, while Noah and Henna moved to the rear boat.

They approached carefully from the left and right sides and threw up the quilt.

Lorraine was the first to board the ship from port, pulled out her knife with a clang and raised the torch high.

After a while, Noya also came up from starboard. The two of them guarded each other and used the fastest speed to explore the cabin, but no figure was found.

Everything was neatly stored, the anchor chain was rusted, and the four-pound, six-pound and nine-pound cannons were wrapped in oil cloth and gathered in the cannon compartment.

No one, living, dead, and skeletons.

Lorraine found a privateer permit in the bulkhead of the captain's room, which was issued by the Kingdom of Ireland in 1659, granting Captain John Nasbret's privateer permit.

All the mysteries have been solved...

Lorraine took Noah back to the deck and sent a signal to both sides.

The sailors, led by the seamen, climbed up to Lorraine, waiting for orders.

Lorraine's voice sounded particularly low: "Search carefully the entire ship. Here is the Macaw, the flagship where John Nasbert disappeared, the Macaw..."

...

It is natural and convenient to search for an unmanned cabin, not to mention that the sailors participating in the adventure are all the best on Lorraine's boats.

The conditions and various discoveries of the ship came together in front of Lorraine one by one.

This ship is indeed the Irish expedition ship Macaw, which disappeared a hundred years ago on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a standard Brig type and a full-packed brig sail.

Her ships are expensive military ships, century-old oak.

The cave is a unique environment with high ammonia, and ammonia is corrosive to wood. But strangely, even if it has not been repaired for hundreds of years, the ship's material and keels are old but not rotten and well preserved.

However, her sails, cables and glue were completely weathered, and if she wanted to drive again in the ocean, she needed to go through tedious and meticulous care.

In addition, the 28 artillery guns were in good condition, mostly small caliber guns that were popular a hundred years ago. The main battles were nine pounds and six pounds, and the main deck and bow and stern guns were even four pounds that had been eliminated long ago.

The four anchors were completely destroyed, and the winch and iron chains were rusted. If you want to drive the boat, you can only find a way to abandon the anchor.

Lorraine was basically sure that the crew of the Macaw was leaving the ship with sufficient preparation.

Because each cabin is neatly placed, important items such as charts, captain's diary, octagonal and navigation compass are wrapped in tart cloth and stored carefully.

The sailors also found gold, silver and copper coins worth about 18 pounds. Lorraine didn't want a penny and directly distributed it to the sailors of the expedition.

In addition, they found a closed seaman's cabin, belonging to the assault captain who died while sailing. His weapons during his lifetime were packed up as relics, including two Dublin short muskets and a high-quality silver-shining sword.

They became Yacharin's first harvest, and Yacharin smiled happily.

After a hundred years of loneliness, there are only so many things left on the boat, Lorraine made a lot of money.

First of all, the ship, Lorraine will definitely drag it out of the sea cave. As for whether it can be brought back to Southampton, it depends on whether Cron can restore her HNA ability under the existing conditions.

The second is the chart. The Naspert chart has mature high-latitude transatlantic routes, from Ireland to West India, and then it opens a route to the New World for Lorraine.

The third is Nasbolt's navigation diary.

Putting aside the secret words, Lorraine saw the complete narrative of Hebasi's adventure in her diary.

Nasbert and his crew made two trips to the island, not only exploring the entire island, but also seeing the ancient treasures in the sea cave with their own eyes.

He called the sea cave "a wizard who likes to give gold coins to sailors."

However, the wizard is not as friendly as he preaches.

When he landed for the first time, his ship rioted due to uneven distribution of spoils. Nasbolt managed to suppress the riot and killed many people, and he was seriously injured.

The Macaw, which suffered heavy losses, lost its ability to continue exploring and had to leave the island with full of regrets and scars until two years later, he revisited the old place.

The diary came to an abrupt end here.

Nasbert did not record the results of the second exploration in it, but the Macaw lurked in the sea cave like a ghost for a hundred years, and had revealed the results of the second exploration to Lorraine.

completely annihilated……

Lorraine closed her diary, tied the oilcloth tightly, and looked at him with emerald eyes, all her eyes were exploring.

"From here you can directly enter the treasure land, which is well preserved, dry and closed." Lorraine pondered for a moment and said softly to Henna, "There may be huge unknown risks on the road. Nasbert brought forty sailors in, but none of them could come out."
