Chapter 374: Singing

Near Bailang Bay, there is a lighthouse that has fallen into disrepair.

This lighthouse was built a long time ago by a team of English sailors, who took a fancy to the conditions of Bailang Bay and wanted to open up a colony here.

However, the Indians rose up and knew they would not be able to defeat the English marines, so their sacrifice used Indian magic and sorcery to summon mermaids who had been hiding in the depths of the sea.

A mermaid is a deep-sea creature with a human body but legs that are fish's tails.

This creature is very beautiful in appearance and loves to sing.

However, they are all deep-sea beasts after all, they use their beautiful appearance to confuse people, and once they relax, they will be dragged into the deep sea to drown and eat.

When the English sailors first saw the mermaids, they were all overjoyed and couldn't control their excitement.

Ignoring military orders, they took off their clothes and jumped into the water of Bailang Bay, playing in the water with beautiful mermaids.

And their commander watched the scene with joy.

As a result, in less than five minutes, the entire Bailang Bay was stained red with the blood of these sailors.

The frightened commander hurriedly asked the English Empire for help, so the Empire sent two more naval units, and the result was ...... It's just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Few soldiers could resist the affectionate gaze of the mermaids, and one by one they were sent to their deaths.

And mermaids, creatures that originally lived in the deep sea, after tasting the sweetness of human blood, entrenched themselves in Bailang Bay, and they not only dealt with the English sailors, but also the passing ships.

Over time, Bailang Bay became a forbidden place, a place that almost any ship dared not cross.

That's why the sailors on Barbossa's ship were worried at first.

The English Empire gave up colonizing this sea, and the lighthouse outpost that was built at the beginning was naturally abandoned.

Blackbeard led the men up to the ruined watchtower of the disgruntled dust, and sniffed hard.

"There's a taste of whale oil here." Blackbeard said.

Whale oil is the most important oil in the Age of Discovery.

Whether it's torches or oil lamps, whale grease is used for everything.

Even the cosmetics used by ladies are added with whale oil.

In those days, whaling was very normal, and the value of a single whale was enough to feed a fishing boat of hundreds of people for a year.

A sailor found the oil drum where the whale oil was stored and exclaimed, "Here it is!" ”

Blackbeard said, "Pour it into the oil sump, don't be afraid to waste!" ”

"Yes!" Together, the two strong pirate men picked up the whale oil drum and poured it into a tank under a condenser.

Blackbeard lit it with a torch, and a raging fire broke out in the oil tank, and the entire abandoned lighthouse was lit up.

Angelica looked up at the dark sky, "The clouds surround this crescent, this is the first day of summer, the best time to collect mermaid tears." ”

Blackbeard turns his condenser and gathers a bright light on the surface of the sea.

On the sea, there was a small boat that had been prepared for a long time, and on the small boat, there were several pirates who could sing and dance.

Of course, it's not really good at singing and dancing, it's just that these people usually like to sing with a guitar when they're fine, and mermaids like to listen to songs, so it's perfect to let them be bait.

Among them, the best one to play the piano and sing is naturally Scombe.

As soon as the spotlight shines on it, Scombe's tears fall.

…… It's too glaring.

Moreover, from now on, these few of them will face the test of life and death.

If they don't sing, Blackbeard will put them to death.

If they sing, the mermaid will pounce on them.

Scam thought about it for a moment, and finally picked up his dirt guitar.

Even if it is the same death, it is better to die at the hands of the ugly Blackbeard than to die at the hands of the beautiful mermaid.

Scum corrected the strings, cleared his throat, and led the singing.

"There was a girl whose father was blind, and I used to visit her house in the middle of the night to have a tryst with her, and on this day it was time for us to go on a date, and I ended up going to the wrong room and into her mother's house......"

"Wait!" The missionary next to him couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Scombe, what are you singing?" ”

Scum said, "Sing." ”

"I know, but what kind of song is this!" The missionary said angrily.

He had asked for the boat on his own initiative, and the last time he had prayed to the cook to escape Blackbeard's attack had not worked, this time, he had definitely gone into battle himself, praying for himself, and he was sure that his Lord would save him.

Scam grinned, "Mr. Missionary, do you like this tone too?" ”

The missionary said angrily, "It's strange that I like it!" This song is very improper! Change one! ”

Scomb shrugged, "So what do you want to hear?" ”

"How about God being with us?" The missionary asked.

Scam shook his head, "No. ”

"Christ was born, hallelujah, Christmas Eve?" The missionary asked.

"None of them." Scam shook his head.

"And what will you do?"

"I accidentally slept with his whole family." Scam said with a serious face.

The missionaries shouted angrily, "You can't sing this kind of song!" ”

Another younger pirate cried and said, "We're done, we're going to be eaten by mermaids." ”

Another sailor comforted: "That's just a legend, and I've heard that a mermaid's kiss can make a sailor immortal." ”

"Don't be stupid," said the other sailor, "mermaids are all female, and they are very beautiful and have very bright smiles, but when it is time for them to eat, they will chew your bones and swallow them!" ”

"Stop arguing! Sing! The boatswain of the resurrected corpse on another small ship flashed his musket and shouted, "Hurry up and sing!" ”

The missionary said angrily, "Don't sing the song that sleeps your whole house!" Don't sleep a single one! ”

Scam sang helplessly, "My name...... Called...... Maria, the beautiful daughter of a merchant, left her parents at an early age and earned 3,000 gold coins a year on her legs. ”

One of the sailors laughed and said, "Scombe, you're making up and singing, aren't you?" What leg can earn 3000 gold coins a year? ”

Scomb gave the sailor a blank look, and went on singing, "Spread your legs so that Mr. Missionary won't understand." ”

The missionary looked confused.

Scam continued, "But my heart has been struck by the arrows of Eros, and what is the treasure of gold and silver, only you can give me high, high, high, high...... Hey, my strong and powerful sailor brother, never tired. ”

The pirates on the boat all laughed in understanding, and sang along to the rhythm of Scombe.

In this way, they sang for an hour, and there was still no movement on the sea.

"It seems that the mermaid is really just a legend."

One of the sailors poured a sip of rum, stood up in the boat, loosened his belt, and prepared to release the water.
