After calling out the first toast.
Fonsonite raised his glass again and shouted:
"May God bless his wife and daughter with good health.
This toast was one that these people had not heard before, and the content seemed to contradict the previous curse, right? However, Fang Senyan claimed to be from the far east, to Europe, no matter how the impression of the east, there has also always been shrouded in mystery, so they surmised that it should be a unique custom in the east, in order to show their broad-mindedness, but there would be no answer to this sentence.
But Fang Senyan took a hard gulp of wine and then raised his glass again and shouted:
"May God bring me to his house!"
As soon as Fang Senyan shouted these words, most of the people were staggered before they comprehended the deeper meaning of it laughing wildly/silverly and raised their glasses to shout:
"May God keep his wife and daughter in good health! May God bring me to his home!"
After such a do-over by Fang Senyan, it was a smooth integration into the atmosphere of this pub. But when he seriously asked these people how he could go to those three big ships in the harbour to become a sailor, he was mercilessly ridiculed.
It turns out that at this time these three ships have become a legend on the sea, every time out is full of return, with a little bit of common language is ten to four drought and flood insurance income at noon also rest two hours after work to eat, drink, drink and gamble can be reported to the excellent jobs, want to go there to do the sailor can be said to be a rush to go through the fierce and incomparable competition than thirty years ago, the test to become an honourable college students of workers, peasants, soldiers and soldiers is also fierce! It is even more exaggerated than taking the national civil service examination thirty years later. For Fang Senyan, a sailor with only potential but no name, it was simply an impossible task.
After paying the price of five cups of rum, Fang Senyan finally understood that he currently has two ways to go, the first way is to first find an unheard of pirate ship mixing, and wait until the dry out of what achievements and then slowly plot to enter the three legendary pirate ship. The second way is to follow the good.
Here referred to from the good of course does not mean that the name of the worker after enough money to find xx famous gynecological hospital to do a xxx repair surgery and then find a pure love wrongdoer married off, but refers to join the official fleet in the middle of ----- -To be more precise, it means going to be a sailor on the two British [****] ships docked south of Tutuga Harbour. If Fang Senyan had been able to look back when he had just entered this world, he would have been able to see the flags of these two warships fluttering in the sea breeze.
Choosing the first path was undoubtedly full of dangers and challenges, but of course there were bound to be more opportunities. As for the second path, Fong Sen Yan also guessed from the description of these pirates: fixed salary, stereotypical life, relatively small risk but the same lack of opportunity.
Fong Sen Yan is not a peaceful person, more importantly, from a small point of view, in the whole world of the Caribbean pirates. Britain's national fleet has always appeared in a miserable role, in the middle of the plus 4, and even by Spain's invincible fleet completely suppressed. In terms of the general trend, if this walk is wrong at the very beginning, then it is likely to be even more passive in the future, and have to pay ten times hundred times the effort to get into the core plot. Therefore, from a short-term perspective, choosing the national fleet was an act with a small risk and a good return, but from a long-term perspective, it was a relative loss.
After he had made up his mind in his mind, he no longer hesitated. The Scar Henry in front of him also looked quite brash, so Fang Senyan bluntly asked him to help recommend a ship that was short of manpower, saying that he was willing to slowly earn some travelling expenses before thinking of a way to go home. After hearing Fang Senyan's request, Scar Henry laughed and said:
"Sailor Rock? You really want to work on a ship? "
Fang Senyan laughed bitterly:
"I also have no way out now, what else can I do besides doing some old work? "
Scar Henry looked deeply at Fang Senyan, stroked his chin and mused:
"Our ship is still short of a person who does odd jobs, but it is necessary to raise and lower the sails and scrub the deck, of course, when it is time to pick up a knife, it can't be left behind. However, although the work is a little bitter, our Captain Amande is quite generous, I do not know rock you want to come to try ------ but this matter I nodded my head is not considered to be over the top, all on board is still in accordance with the rules and regulations of the ship. Anyone on board must still pass the test in accordance with the old rules. "
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Fang Senyan heard "Amande" three words when the heart of a move, this guy seems to be in the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 film plot in the appearance, but also as one of the seven pirate king of the Black Sea Pirate King appeared, specialising in the Black Sea, commanding the Islamic pirates to loot the Christian trade ships, but also successful and the Ottoman Empire Jointly, control of all areas from Morocco to Turkey.
At this time, this guy thought he had not yet made a fortune. However, there is no doubt that at this time, to be able to follow a future can be equal to Jack Sparrow / Barbosa guy at sea, of course, all kinds of opportunities will be much greater.
"I'm willing to go and try to pass the test." Fang Senyan stood up and said decisively. As a matter of fact, he knew very well in his heart, if he didn't get Scar Henry's favour in arm wrestling and buying drinks, then with his own few charms, he really didn't have this chance to join the pirate ship "Bells and Wine Glass".
Scar Henry and the back of the Marder looked at each other, face showed a trace of unknown mysterious smile. Next to a few waiting in the bar of the pirates see Fang Senyan "job" success, also accosted and crowded over, but was mercilessly rejected.
Half an hour later, Fang Senyan stood on the deck of the "bells and glasses" ship.
This is a North Sea three-masted square-rigged sailing ship between medium-sized and large, the slender hull is painted with wide stripes of grey and dark blue, the Latin sails carefully sewn with poncho warp and weft yarns hang from the high masts, dozens of grey thick halyards intertwine inside the sunset, like a spider's web that has a feeling of capturing everything, and a few white seagulls with fluffy hairs and claws remain on the empty lookout platform. The bowsprit's horn towered out, reminiscent of the protruding tip of a unicorn's head.
The deck was pieced together from planks of slope base wood that had been growing for at least thirty years, providing considerable protection while reducing the chances of ignition by fire, and its surface was scrubbed fairly clean, suggesting that Henry the Scarab was at least a competent first mate. Because a clean deck not only gives people visual and sensory enjoyment, more importantly, the details determine success or failure, in the middle of the sea travelling ship violent bumps and swaying is inevitable, dirty deck surface will make you fall twice the chance, this is definitely a nightmare beginning, the consequences are serious, even head into the sea serious accidents.
There was no doubt that Scar Henry caused a small stir by bringing Fong Sen Yan back to the ship. This caused the entire pirate ship amongst the people to lazily climb up and welcome the boarding of this unfamiliar face in a crowded manner, these guys wearing tattered and miscellaneous coloured clothes with stabbing swords and knives on their waists were lazily spread out all over the decks with their hands clasped on their chests, looking up and down with a kind of intriguing gaze.
"God! How dare you let a damned stranger defile our decks without the captain's consent, Marder, you fool, if you kneel and apologise right now and offer me your axe, then I can pretend this never happened. "
The person who spoke just walked out from inside the cabin, a guy with a shaded felt hat with two white feathers stuck in it, if it wasn't for the sallow skin and deep wrinkles, then he would really have a few aristocratic looks. And Fang Senyan even noticed that when he spoke he acted very rudely Marder couldn't help but shrink back, obviously this person has considerable power on the ship.
Scar Henry, however, stood out at this time and said in a voice like a bell:
"Mr Char, as first mate of the Bells and Cups, I think I have the authority to make adjustments to what's not right on the ship, and it's your job to take the group exactly where they should be, that's all. "
Char choked at the top of his lungs at Henry the Scar, but said forcefully:
"Only the great Captain Armand has the power to directly appoint the crew. You can only recommend it, and unless he can pass the customary test, I would never endorse such a stranger to board the ship! The Bell and Wineglass will also suffer an inexplicable curse! "
That last sentence provoked a large group of exclamations, and Fang Senyan, speaking as a senior crew member, had already made things very clear at this point with his cold eyes. He himself was obviously caught in the middle of a vortex of power struggle. Here it is necessary to talk about the main composition on the pirate ship in this era:
First of all, the captain is the ship's commander-in-chief, the main decision maker, the highest danger, in an emergency everything can be managed but usually nothing is not too much to manage.
First mate can be understood as a steward: in charge of internal affairs, assign manpower, eat, drink, sleep and drink, in charge of goods [to calculate the centre of gravity of the goods, the ship's stable name, but also with goods, a simple explanation is that the first to the port of the goods you can not be loaded to the following right, there are also types of goods, tea you can not be loaded with fruit, right, fruit, once the breath of the moisture back to the tea on the end of it; rubber and oil drums can not be right, in case of leakage of oil! ...... If the grocery ship once loaded dozens of hundreds of kinds of goods without a good first mate of course not.
The last is the characteristic character of this era: the navigator: at this time there is no radar, can only rely on the stars, compass, weather to carry out the ship's sea positioning work. Drawing routes and charts required a great deal of experience and expertise. Pilot is like the eyes of the ship, guiding the correct direction, they are at the same time because of the higher culture to draw charts for the sake of, will also serve as a priest missionary and other work, with the feeling of loneliness and fear of the pirates to talk to, to solve their spiritual problems, to the original inhabitants of the dissemination of beliefs, to use the common and straightforward words, the sea, the pilot is both a radar / Playboy magazine / mobile phone role.
