Chapter 297

Turtle Island, the temple of pirates.

The Pirate Island hanging at the exit of the windward channel is the south pole of the Bahamas. Geographically, it should be regarded as the land branch of Hispaniola island.

It has a long and narrow island body, three or twelve kilometers long and less than five kilometers wide. It extends on four feet and embraces a ridge Bay.

These extended beaches and cliffs make its outline like a turtle lying on the sea. The sea fog from time to time makes its position looming. Even near the more developed French colony of Santo Domingo, it will not attract too many visitors.

Islands like this are everywhere in the Caribbean Sea, and turtle island can be selected by picky pirates only because it has the most precious fresh water in the sea.

There is a silent volcano in the center of the island. There is a water source at the south foot of the volcano. Like the gift of nature, it outlines a miraculous silver belt in the island to keep the whole island water.

Abundant fresh water resources shape the dense vegetation on the island, which supports the tropical ecology all over the mountains.

Lorraine has always been curious about how species that fear the sea take root on islands.

Although the knowledge of later generations clearly told him that most terrestrial animals migrated in ancient times before the land passage was submerged by sea water.

Anyway, it's amazing.

In contrast, the people on the island are not so magical.

Because humans can build ships and pirates can sail.

Pirates born to the sea took root on this island hundreds of years ago. The history of human settlement is the same as the time when the Spanish opened up the new world.

But even after such a long time and prosperity, the unproductive sea vagrants still failed to leave civilization on the island, and even a decent wharf could not be built on the tortuous coastline here.

"Pirates... What is the value of this species to mankind?"

Leaning against the sea breeze on the new bow of the golden deer, Lorraine muttered with a playful smile.

"Take in the sail!"

"Pay attention to turbulence, be careful of turbulence, and inform the Liao ship to pay attention to coordination!"

"The governor has an order! The Liao ship will not dock. Guard and anchor on both sides of the flagship. All maintain level 3 alert, level 3 alert!"

"Now the tide is falling, be careful to run aground. The right rudder is full and horizontal!"

At the sound of the order, the golden deer slowly and steadily turned the bow of the ship, the iron anchor crashed and sank, smashed into the floating sand at the bottom of the water, and fixed the whole ship on the sea more than ten meters away from the beach.

Lorraine saw the Eros and the three eyed crow.

They stayed about 20 meters away from the golden deer in a symmetrical way. They were turning around in order to tilt the bow 45 degrees to the open sea and give full play to the density and power of side fire.

Lorraine laughed at their appearance.

"The transverse golden deer and the oblique wing ship, are you going to bombard Turtle Island? It's too tight."

Dylan, who was responsible for coordinating the overall operation of the fleet, was serious and serious.

"Lieutenant, be prepared! Barto has prepared 50 guards for you, all equipped with long and short double guns, and he will lead the team himself..."

"Look at the colorful pupil 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 the decoration is down-to-earth, as pirates, we don't need to be nervous here."

Dylan didn't relax because of Lorraine's advice: "Captain, you're going to Tortuga. Everyone there is dirty and purulent scum and scum. There's nothing but life. You're completely different from them!"

"I always think you even scolded me..." Lorraine rolled her eyes. "But it doesn't matter, um... Fifty guards are not necessary. Let's take a step back. I'll only take Haina, and you ask Barto to reduce the guards to 30, at least make one of the boats more spacious..."

……

The boat was lowered and drove to the beach with Lorraine, Haina and the guards.

But the boat is still overloaded.

Although the number of people was agreed with the nervous temporary sailors, Barto conspired with Dylan and still changed his way to put people on the boat.

The escort is the escort. In addition to the escort, each boat also needs four rowers and two boat guards, so there are 12 more people. With 33 on the island, the assault boat carrying 40 people is crammed with 45 people.

Fortunately, they still took care of Lorraine's arrogance. 30 of the 45 people crossed the boat on the side of the boat with sardine canned arrangements. Lorraine's main boat only had 15 people, barely satisfied the requirement of spacious two words.

Lorraine could only laugh off this kindness.

The place they are going to is Tortuga. The literal translation in Spanish is Turtle Island.

As the origin of the name of turtle island, it has now become the exclusive name of pirates, referring to the holy land of pirates in the depths of the jungle and the location of the maritime brotherhood.

Katrina said that it was a wooden Domed hall built on the side of a small lake, which enshrined the first copy of the Pirate Code copied by Morgan and the [new code] written by the black Baron bafromiu, the "pirate puppet emperor", just like the meaning of the Old Testament and the new testament to Christians, and is a sacred thing in the pirate world.

The grievances and fame of the sea brotherhood and past sea kings guard them.

That's the truth.

The maritime brotherhood is a veteran organization composed of 12 people, known as the guardian of the code. Each of them has been in contact with Morgan chart, which inherits the honor of pirates.

Whether it is the lucky ones who turn over the map to the brotherhood or the ambitious people who join the king's competition, their names will be recorded by the brotherhood.

When 12 people are vacant, someone will find them in order and ask them if they are willing to sacrifice their pirate ship to the ship grave at the East head of tortoise island. From then on, they will go ashore and become the code guardian who accepts the sacrifice of all pirates and remains neutral forever.

Most pirates can't stand such a simple temptation, especially in the legend, a pirate vowed to become the guardian of the code on the gallows, and was released by the executing Navy on the spot.

In Lorraine's opinion, such rumors of obviously subsidizing money for himself have no credibility at all, but he came to report his qualifications today. Since he wants to use others, he is also willing to support each other's political propaganda.

Yes, navies all over the world wear pants with pirates.

These outlaws who can't even build a wharf are widely respected all over the world, such as King George of England and King Louis of France. They don't dare to brush their tiger whiskers at all.

Or... Killer whale whiskers?

Walking along the beach, Lorraine and the guards walked slowly to the middle of the island.

Along the way, he was in the embrace of waves and dense forests. Except for the pirate ships that can be seen from time to time on the sea, he hardly felt human traces.

Until here, he saw two oak trees that were obviously artificially trimmed. One bent to the left and the other bent to the right. The branches and leaves intertwined to form a high door.

On the bark, someone wrote messy handwriting with blood like paint.

【BLOODWAY】

The blood path, the path full of blood, also has a special meaning in China, that is the alias of animal road.

Lorraine couldn't help laughing.

"Gu Nong is mysterious, but the name of the passer-by is appropriate. Unfortunately, the person who named it probably won't understand the meaning of the name. It's a waste to simply scare people."

As usual, Haina was interested in these strange things. She raised her hand, tightened her wide blouse, showed her face and asked, "what waste?"

"Xuetu, I think it's a waste to hide such an overbearing name on a desert island."

Haina disdained to curl her lips: "even Assassin's holy mountain dare not claim to be blood, just pirates..."

Lorraine laughed and said, "it's like you've been to the holy mountain."

"When I was a child, I went to the holy mountain with my father, but it was corrupt. No one stayed there after the fall of eagle nest city."

"That's expected," Lorraine shrugged. "Cheer up, gentlemen. We're going to visit the legendary sea brotherhood. Don't underestimate Drake's descendants."
