Chapter 475: Witch Karina
"My ...... Bank! Mayor Boward watched as the entire building was pulled away, and his whole face turned green.
"Chase! Stop them! Brigadier General Fili shouted loudly.
A serious public order incident such as a "bank robbery" in the city of Saint-Martin, if it is not quickly quelled, will leave a big stain on his career.
The guards hurriedly chased the bank with their guns in hand—probably the most bizarre thing they'd ever experienced in their lives, they were really chasing a bank.
In the 18th century, the building materials used in Europe and the United States were wood and tiles, so the whole bank was not too heavy, enough for eight horses to gallop.
Jack opened the door of the vault and said triumphantly to the stunned citizens, "Remember this day, the great Captain Jack Sparrow, has escaped again!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the vault shook on the ground, and all the gold coins, gold bars, and banknotes in the vault rolled out.
Citizens poured into the streets, scrambling for gold coins like crazy.
Boval yelled loudly, "Stop! Stop! The money is mine! It's mine! ”
Where do the citizens care about this mayor in a green top hat?
But gold fell from the ground!
The townspeople all frantically scrambled for it, and no one gave in.
The guards were blocked by the townspeople, losing the best chance to pursue the bank and the pirates, and by the time they finally separated the crowd and galloped, the pirates had already dragged the bank two blocks away.
"Stop!" Captain Jack yelled from behind, "The gold has fallen! The gold is gone! ”
Gibbs in front of him asked suspiciously, "I really want to hear someone shouting." ”
"I heard it too, it seemed to be ...... Captain Jack's voice. Another pirate said.
"Do you hear what he's saying?" Hammer asked.
The pirate sailor plucked his ears with his dirty fingernails, then shrugged his shoulders, "Probably cheering, talking about so much gold or something." ”
"Ahaha! We're rich! Get rich! Gibbs jerked the reins excitedly, "I've been with Jack for twenty years!" It's finally my turn to get rich today! Brothers! Speed up! Drive! ”
"Drive!"
Other pirates also whipped their horses.
Far from stopping, the bank was faster and bumped harder.
The gold coins, gold bars, and banknotes in the vault kept falling out, and the whole street became a sea of money, and people all poured into the streets, rushing to grab gold coins.
And just when St. Martin Island was in chaos, Xu Feng quietly came to St. Martin's barracks.
At this time, most of the soldiers had gone to catch the pirates, only a small number of soldiers remained, and the whole barracks was extremely lax, and a guard was standing guard at the door.
Xu Feng used his crane body to deftly climb through the side wall, and then clinged to the root of the wall to find the prison of the barracks.
A jailer in a red uniform happened to come out of the cell, and when Xu Feng saw that there was no one around, he immediately rushed forward, strangled the jailer's mouth with one hand, and pulled out Triton's sword with the other hand, and directly strung his throat.
Laugh at!
A bloody arrow erupted from the jailer's neck, and the jailer struggled silently for a few moments before completely losing his breath.
It stands to reason that the relative level of this jailer has also reached level 45, and if he attacks Xu Feng head-on, even if he can't win Xu Feng, he will be able to support ten moves.
However, Xu Feng's attack speed was too fast, and the position of the knife was accurate and ruthless, and the jailer didn't have time to react at all.
Xu Feng dragged the jailer's body to a no-man's corner and covered it casually, then changed into the jailer's clothes, put on a hat, lowered the brim, pretended to be nothing, and walked back to the cell.
There are a lot of prisoners in prison.
Obviously, this brigadier general named Fili is also a ruthless man and likes to arrest people everywhere.
Feng Feng walked down the damp and dark corridor, keeping an eye out for the prisoners in the cell.
What he was looking for was a witch.
Of course, to be precise, a girl who is identified as a "witch".
In medieval Europe, it was normal to burn "witches", and Brigadier Fili in the Americas also continued this "glorious" tradition.
The so-called witches are women who deviate from the rules of the world and do not follow the rules of the world.
Do they really have witchcraft?
Not necessarily.
However, the woman who burned to death must be a woman who does not listen to men.
If there really is a witch, as long as she is obedient, she will not be burned to death.
The system is determined by people, and it is also up to people to decide who they choose to burn or who not to burn.
The "witch" that Xu Feng is looking for now is named Karina Smith.
She was arrested on charges of observing the stars, modifying observations, stealing telescopes, and more.
The point is, the star observation data she modified turned out to be completely correct.
This incident frightened the men.
They are all well-educated, have studied the stars for many years, and have extremely precise and scientific observation tools in their hands, but they have spent a huge amount of money and a long time, and the data they observed is not as accurate as a woman who has not attended a day of school?
If this woman wasn't a witch, wouldn't they be a straw bag?
Will they admit to being straw bales?
Of course not.
So, Karina Smith can only be a witch.
And since she is recognized as a witch, the witch hunter Brigadier Fili goes all out to hunt down Karina.
Eventually, Karina was taken to the barracks – there was no trial, only a chance to repent before being hanged, and then after the opening of the Royal Bank, Brigadier General Fili would personally send Karina to the gallows.
Why did Xu Feng save Karina?
Because Karina is crucial in the plot of the entire fifth stage.
The fifth phase of Pirates of the Caribbean, the main core plot, is actually the world of the "second generation of thieves".
Henry Turner, who has not yet appeared, is the child of Will Turner and Elizabeth, and Karina Smith is the daughter of Hector Barbossa.
Of course, Karina herself did not know.
When she was a baby, she was placed at the door of a monastery with a ruby-encrusted copy of Galileo's Diary.
Karina was very intelligent, she had been fond of mathematics and astronomy since she was a child, she thought she was the offspring of a mathematician or an astronomer, she did not resent her parents, she felt that her parents must have had intractable difficulties that forced her to foster him in the convent.
She taught herself advanced mathematics and astronomy so that she could one day see her parents again, living up to their expectations of handing her Galileo's Diary.
All in all, Karina Smith is a smart and kind girl.
It's a pity that her ability in astronomical calculations is so strong that the men who claim to be astronomers feel tremendous pressure.
In this day and age, she was not given the respect she deserved, and all she received was the hanging of what she was identified as a witch.
