Chapter 230

Zhang Heng's communication with each other was only a short period of time in the storm, and the information he got was similar to what he got from Seth before.

The owner of the voice in his ear claimed that he was an ancient Celtic God, who could shelter voyagers in the sea and give believers the ability to control storms.

Of course, this ability is now a bit discounted, not only in terms of storm control, but also in terms of the number of uses, which can only be used once a month.

According to Betty, this is because her name is about to be forgotten by the world. She promises that if Zhang Heng can recruit more believers for her, she can also give Zhang Heng stronger ability. If Zhang Heng can restore her strength to the peak, she can also make the former become the real king of this ocean.

And millions of believers will be needed for this, which is why Betty focuses on Zhang Heng. She takes a fancy to Zhang Heng's extraordinary leadership.

However, the latter did not immediately agree with her, except that Zhang Heng would only stay in this world for more than ten years, and even if he became the king of the sea, it had no practical significance. In addition, Betty's words also reminded Zhang Heng of the monster named Moresby who escaped from Papua New Guinea before.

According to the old man in Tang costume at that time, it was also a totem worshipped by a certain tribe, but with the extinction of the arkes tribe, in order to survive, it had to be trapped in a short period of time cycle, and it was also extremely weak when it came out again.

And now Betty's situation also let Zhang Heng confirm again, these so-called supernatural existence, also facing the crisis of survival.

Even compared with human beings, their situation is really dangerous.

Just because of this, Zhang Heng always has a little vigilance against these existence. Even when their basic survival is threatened, how credible are their promises?

Zhang Heng couldn't have accepted all of Betty's words without knowing what happened to the Clark.

However, he did get some useful information through this contact.

Whether Moresby or Betty, their strength seems to have a direct relationship with the number of believers, and they seem to be very afraid of being forgotten by the world.

Zhang Heng also heard a lot of fairy tales when he was a child. No matter what kind of mythological system, the gods are inseparable from the powerful and dignified. They created the world, created the human, almost omnipotent. However, now it seems that the relationship between the two sides is more like a kind of symbiotic relationship.

It's like alligators and toothpick birds, anemones and hermit crabs.

Zhang Heng doesn't know whether this metaphor is appropriate or not, but it has nothing to do with what happened before when he was alone watching the sunset by the sea tonight. He just remembered that he had been in this world for almost two years, and he was more and more used to the present life.

In contrast, the memories related to the previous life are becoming more and more distant.

It was not until he saw the setting sun that he remembered every bit of the other world. Perhaps this was the only thing that had not changed in more than 200 years.

However, he did not indulge in some kind of nostalgic or sentimental emotion. He soon separated himself from the memory, shared the bottle of rum with Annie, and they went back to the beach where the camp was.

Billy just came up to him. "I don't know if Annie told you that our repair and cleaning work is coming to an end, and we will be back in the water by noon tomorrow."

Zhang Heng nodded, "we've been working hard these days. Let's take a half day holiday after the ship is repaired. Let's keep our energy. We'll start in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Billy had no objection to this, and soon after he left, freina also came to Zhang Heng and made a routine report before each voyage, "our food and fresh water problems have been solved, and the reserves on the ship are enough for one and a half months of navigation. However, considering the need to collect the survivors on Nautilus Island, I hid the rest of the food and fresh water on the west side of the beach We can go back here to take out these materials if necessary. After all, there is only one day's voyage between the two places. "

"You did a good job." Zhang Heng praised the Quartermaster's work, but the latter did not leave.

Difranaton then said, "in terms of shells, we have experienced several fierce battles in a row, and our consumption is relatively large. However, in addition to the shells of 24 pound guns, we have also found a supplement on Miranda."

Zhang Heng frowned, "if you can't, replace the 24 pound cannon with the 12 pound cannon."

"In fact, what worries me most is not shells, but gunpowder." Mr. Quartermaster said seriously, "the waterproof and moisture-proof treatment of the gunpowder on Miranda was not good. Moreover, because we were at war at that time, many powder barrels were disassembled. We rescued some of them. I opened two barrels before and thought there was no problem, but I just checked them again and found that some of them were seriously affected by moisture."

"Is there enough gunpowder on board to support us in a battle?""It's about enough for us to fire seven or eight rounds." Dufresne made a brief estimate and replied.

This number is still within the range of Zhang Heng's acceptance. Seven rounds of attacks can tell the outcome of almost a battle. However, in this way, their fault tolerance space is indeed smaller, but at this point, there is no reason to give up.

Jackdaw now completed the repair of the hull, is no longer the previous fragile state, even if the fight can not choose to escape. After his sailing skills were upgraded to LV3, Zhang Heng also had great confidence in his steering skills.

Whether it's for the 5000 pounds of gold, or for the surviving pirates on the island, or for revenge, this battle is imperative.

Zhang Heng patted Dufresne on the shoulder, "don't worry, then we'll kill them with seven rounds of fighting."

"Yes, captain." Obviously, the Quartermaster is not willing to go back to Nassau empty handed. He just does his duty and truthfully feeds back the situation to Zhang Heng. As for the later decision, it is up to the captain to make.

All night long.

The next day, the pirates sent the repaired jackdaw back to the sea with rolling wood. It was only when they saw the new jackdaw successfully launched that a burst of cheers broke out in the crowd. Their work these days was not in vain. They not only repaired the loopholes and cracks in the ship's hull, but also reinforced the Jackdaw with extra materials for the coming ship We are preparing for the final battle.
