I don’t know since when, there is such a legend circulating on the sea.
When you are sailing on the sea, if you hear someone singing in the sea fog, it is best to run quickly, because the meaning of the singing is that the blood sail is about to appear!
No one can tell exactly when the Blood Sail appeared on the sea, because all the people who had actually seen the Blood Sail were dead, and no one could survive in front of the Blood Sail.
Whether it is a pirate, a merchant ship, or a naval warship from various countries, as long as it encounters a blood sail, the only outcome is to be captured by the blood sail.
The blood sail will not sink the captured ship, but all living people on the ship will be dumped on the mast, and then the blood will be drained to dye the sail red.
Some ships that Blood Sail likes will be taken away, while ordinary merchant ships or pirate ships will be robbed and left to drift on the sea.
If these ships are lucky, they will float to the shore. When they are discovered, the dead survivors who have fallen on the mast will sing the weird song again, adding new explanations to the horrific legend of the blood sail.
"Does the blood sail really exist? Will we encounter it?" On a merchant ship sailing to the New World, a little girl was standing on the bow of the ship asking a sailor.
The little girl who went out on a boat for the first time was at the age when she was curious about everything. During this trip, the various legendary or terrifying sea stories told by these sailors aroused many of the little girl's thoughts.
Imagination makes her never tire of hearing these stories, and she is full of curiosity to explore.
"Oh, dear lady, the blood sail is a very terrifying existence. No one would want to encounter it on the sea." The sailor said respectfully to the little girl in front of him, but his eyes were full of fear and awe: "In addition,
It's best not to talk about bloody sails on the sea, they will really hear it, and especially don't sing that song!"
For the little girl, this may be just a little legend during the journey, but for the sailors, it is a real horror, especially when their ship is surrounded by sea fog.
The sailor's confession did not dispel the little girl's curiosity. Instead, she asked with interest: "That song, what song? Is it the song that people hanged by blood sails would sing? Can you sing that song?"
Song?"
"No, I won't!" The sailor became even more frightened, even trembling a little, and said to the little girl in an almost stern voice: "On the sea, no sailor will sing that song, absolutely not! Unless he wants to delay
Let everyone on the ship die together!"
The sailor's appearance and tone obviously frightened the little girl, causing her to take a step back.
"Sir, you scared my daughter." A well-dressed gentleman came from behind the sailor, picked up the scared little girl, and looked at the sailor with dissatisfaction.
Facing the gentleman whose status was obviously much higher than his own, the sailor lowered his head humbly and reservedly. These are passengers on the ship, and even the captain must treat him politely. If he offends the other party, the consequences will definitely not be something that a mere sailor can bear.
Started.
At this time, the first mate also came over. There was a conflict between the sailors on the ship and the distinguished passengers. As the first mate, he must control the situation to prevent things from getting out of hand.
"Sir, how may I serve you?" The first mate tried his best to appear as polite as possible, imitating the aristocratic butlers he had seen in London as much as possible.
But it is obvious that even the salutes of sailors who have been wandering at sea all year round are rough. To the gentleman, this is like an orangutan imitating humans.
However, as a gentleman, he still knows how to assess the situation. This is at sea, and his family, life and daughter are in the hands of others. Although the other party may not want to offend him due to his status, if it really happens, it cannot be done.
The conflict that was saved was thrown into the sea. Although the other party would be guilty of piracy and wanted by the navy, he would definitely have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
So he just nodded to the first mate and said: "Nothing, but Mr. first mate, please remind your sailors not to tell my daughter any more stories about pirates and blood sails. This is too unbecoming of a lady."
Damn it! God, I don’t want my daughter to think about pirates, treasures and adventures in the future!”
Although I don’t want to offend anyone, appropriate warning is still necessary.
The first mate obviously understood what the gentleman meant and bowed to the gentleman very humbly, saying that he would definitely warn the sailors and would not deceive the distinguished lady with some boring sea stories.
The gentleman was obviously satisfied with the first mate's answer. His expression softened a little before he continued to ask: "When can we arrive at Port Royal? I have been invited by Governor Visby Swan to attend his daughter's wedding.
I don’t want to be late for the wedding.”
"Please rest assured that our trip will be smooth sailing. Although the sea fog will delay a little time, if there are no accidents, we will be able to arrive at Port Royal in the afternoon. If you are hungry, you can talk to the distinguished lady
Let’s have some lunch together, the chef has prepared bacon, sausages, and rare white bread today.” The first mate said to the gentleman.
Hearing what the first mate said, the gentleman nodded reservedly and looked at his daughter: "Sweetheart, do you want to go to lunch?"
"Yeah!" The little girl seemed to be frightened by the sailor just now, she just hugged her father and nodded.
When the gentleman and the little girl walked towards the cabin, the flattering smile on the first mate's face instantly faded. He turned his head and looked fiercely at the sailor who had just caused trouble, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Damn it, you can't
Do you mind that bad mouth of yours? He is a friend of the Governor of Port Royal, and we will suffer nothing if we mess with him!"
"But that little girl was talking about a blood sail! First mate, that's a blood sail! That's a taboo!" The sailor tried to argue, but seeing the first mate's angry look, he still shut up, but the expression on his face was still there.
An unconvinced expression.
Seeing the sailor's unconvinced look, the first mate knew that he had to appease his emotions, otherwise it would be very dangerous for the crew to be resentful at sea.
The distinguished guests on the ship may be able to leave after arriving in port, but the first mate still has to get along with these sailors day and night, so he softened his expression and said to the sailors: "Blood sails are indeed a taboo that should not be mentioned.
, but they don’t understand these taboos at sea, and they are not people who make a living at sea, but they will be disembarking soon, so just be patient. When we get to Port Royal, I will tell the captain that I will treat you to a drink.
"
"I understand, first mate." When the first mate said that he would buy a drink, the sailor looked much better.
