Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Three days have passed since the priests' crisis. In the pirate sanatorium on the east side of Manhattan Island, some wounded pirates who cooperated with the Manhattan gang are recuperating here.
They all accepted information from the Manhattan gang, robbed merchant ships in the high seas, and then sold the ships to pirates from the Song Empire. It can be said that they were collaborators with the empire.
They are fundamentally different from the pirates who are pursuing the Song Empire.
¡°Otherwise, the intelligence agency would not have opened such a sanatorium on the east side of Manhattan Island to house these wounded pirates.
You must know that being a pirate these days is also very risky. Every time you rob a ship, you will encounter resistance, so casualties are common.
If these injured pirates are not treated, most of them will die at sea or their wounds will worsen.
But with the existence of sanatoriums, their chances of survival have been greatly improved.
For this reason, these pirates who cooperated with the Manhattan gang still had a great impression of the Song Empire.
Of course, the prerequisite for them to come to the sanatorium to receive effective treatment is that they must survive the first three days of sea voyage.
Otherwise, they would basically be dead.
After all, it is still a long way from the sea area where they robbed merchant ships to the east side of Manhattan Island.
But as long as they come to the sanatorium on Manhattan Island, they will basically recover quickly under the treatment of penicillin.
You know, penicillin can be regarded as a special medicine in this era.
"The pirates lived a leisurely and comfortable life in the sanatorium.
They can enjoy an extremely comfortable life, exquisite and delicious food, and meticulous care.
It¡¯s just that the cost may be a little bit more.
But this little money is nothing to the pirates.
In this sanatorium, there are dedicated chefs to serve them.
If you want to solve physical urges, the sanatorium has also opened a special building. Used to provide these pirates who are recovering from injuries.
As for women, you have to pay to find them from Manhattan.
Even in the nursing home, everyone can raise money to hire an acting troupe to perform plays here to relieve their boredom.
These are lives that they cannot enjoy in Europe or other places or at sea.
"Georgia, is there anything new happening in Manhattan recently?"
Recently, another group of wounded people have been stationed in the sanatorium for treatment. They just encountered another group of pirates yesterday and almost got hacked. As a result, they lost a lot of sailors.
In the open-air corridor of the nursing home. On the recliner, a middle-aged man wrapped up like a rice dumpling was asking a young man on his arm.
The young man¡¯s name is Georgia. He is a member of the pirate ship Crimson Ocean who came to the nursing home yesterday. He was stabbed three times and had deep wounds on his body.
Now it has been completely sutured and the bleeding has stopped.
Now there is finally no danger to life.
The bearded middle-aged man who asked the question was called Gladys, and he was the captain of a pirate ship called the Deep Blue Cruiser.
Gladys was seriously injured and had been in a nursing home for a long time.
Although he lived a very comfortable life here, he still seemed very bored because he could not move around.
??Especially full of curiosity about what is happening outside.
Young Georgia heard this. He turned around and glanced at the recliner and said: "Recently, more and more pirates have gathered near Manhattan. Everyone knows that this is a place full of wealth and opportunities, so they all want to try their luck here. Therefore. Our life is becoming more and more difficult because many people break the rules and engage in illegal activities."
Strictly speaking, what Georgia said is nothing new.
Gladys has been a pirate captain for many years and has seen many such things.
"Georgia, just look at it. The Song Empire will deal with them sooner or later. Do you think such a powerful empire will tolerate pirates running rampant? And they don't cooperate with the gangs in Manhattan, so I'm not optimistic about their future."
Gladys said.
Georgia nodded: "These guys are too greedy. And they don't even follow any rules. I also think that their good days are not long, and the Song Empire is likely to take action against them. But I am very strange, why During such a long period of time, Emperor SongHas the capital yet taken any action? You must know that there are many pirates in the nearby waters, which has greatly affected Manhattan's commercial trade. "
Yes, Georgia has always been very curious about this and can¡¯t figure it out.
Because the increasing number of pirate ships appearing nearby has seriously affected the commercial prosperity of Manhattan.
Logically speaking, Manhattan should punish these guys.
"However, Manhattan has not taken action to deal with those pirates now, which is really hard to understand.
"Maybe the people of the Song Empire want to wipe out all the pirates in one fell swoop, but this has nothing to do with us. After all, the Manhattan gang who cooperates with us is very powerful and can guarantee our interests. And those The pirates who don't follow the rules are eliminated, which is of great benefit to us, isn't it?"
Gladys said to Georgia as she lay there.
"And even if pirates are rampant nearby, I think those businessmen will still take risks when faced with huge profit temptations, right?"
Georgia nodded: "You are right. Although the number of pirate attacks has increased, the number of merchant ships on the Manhattan pier has not decreased but has increased a lot. It can be seen that those merchants are, as you said, willing to take risks for the sake of wealth. . But they are not idiots, at least they know how to travel together, so they will have more power to protect themselves when encountering pirate ships."
Georgia spoke of some recent changes in merchant shipping.
"This is not a good thing. These merchant ships have gathered together. Even if those unruly guys are eliminated, our life will not be easy."
Gladys became very sad and worried.
"Hey, it's too far away to think about this kind of thing now. You'd better recover from your injuries. Anyway, we cooperate with the Manhattan gang, and they will also provide us with some information for their own benefit, so that we can identify the target. .¡±
Georgia was very optimistic and not too worried like Gladys.
Gladys thought for a while and then thought about it again, thinking that this was indeed the case.
¡°As Georgia said, they are cooperating with the Manhattan gang anyway, and for their own benefit, the Manhattan gang will definitely tell them the information of some lone merchant ships to let them take action.
As long as we maintain our cooperation with the Manhattan gang, the future may not be too bad.
¡°And with the Manhattan Gang, there will no longer be a need to go to Europe to sell stolen goods.
Those looted ships and goods can be sold directly to Manhattan gangsters.
? Coming and going saves a lot of trouble.
"Oh, by the way, a lot of priests died in Manhattan three days ago, and it caused a big commotion in Manhattan, because these priests had some shady things secretly."
Georgia thought about the priest incident in Manhattan, and immediately became energetic and told Gladys about it with a gossipy face.
"My God, how could these priests do such a thing? This is too subversive." After listening to Georgia's story, Gladys was shocked and lost her voice.
As a European, there is no doubt that he is also a believer in God.
Because in Europe, God is the only idol belief.
Georgia said: "Many people have come forward to testify, and when we think about what churches and pastors have done in our hometown in the past, the authenticity of these is self-evident."
Gladys remained silent because Georgia was right.
¡°Whether something is true or not can be judged with a little more scrutiny.
Although Gladys was a pirate, it was nothing compared to what those priests and priests did.
And the methods are not as cruel as theirs.
"I heard that these priests originally planned to build churches in America and let the Song Empire open up religious affairs. There are rumors that after these priests established churches, they would ask all Europeans living in America to donate 80% of their income. , as a glorious testimony to God.¡±
Eighty percent! Why not grab it!
Gladys cursed in her heart.
"The people in the church are indeed greedy, and there is nothing wrong with that. Moreover, those in the Inquisition often arrest ordinary people on unfounded charges and then torture them." Georgia continued.
¡°Before I became a pirate, I experienced thisSuch a thing, so I take it for granted. "
Georgia¡¯s words made Gladys¡¯ eyes widen.
"Have you ever been arrested by the Inquisition? It's really unexpected. You little guy is really lucky. You didn't die there. I can only say that you are very lucky."
As a European, Gladys was very aware of the horrors of the Inquisition.
Most people who are caught there will basically not come out alive.
¡°If what Georgia said is true, you can only say that his shit luck is really good.
Georgia looked at Gladys, smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about myself, but a girl I knew before."
Gladys laughed awkwardly, "Hey, that's it, I'm so sorry. I thought you were arrested by the Inquisition, but it turns out you were talking about your friends. Why, your friends It¡¯s a girl, is she a miko?¡±
It is not unreasonable for Gladys to ask this, because most of the crimes that women were arrested for in the Inquisition were under the title of "witch". (To be continued.) - Didn't finish reading?
