William III's attitude seems to be quite sincere, and the reward given is definitely generous to people in this world.

Most pirates struggled all their lives on the sea, and in order to return home in glory, they were promoted to the title.

Although the baron is the lowest-level title, he has at least entered the threshold of the noble circle.

With a title, you can be respected as a lord, own your own estate, and live a stable and comfortable life, which is very attractive to pirates who are risking their lives on the sea.

But unfortunately, Xin Sheng is just a passerby to this world, and his title and wealth are just passing clouds.

According to Xin Sheng’s understanding of Barbosa, he is not the kind of person who can live a stable life.

Compared to staying inland and enjoying happiness honestly and never going out to sea again, Barbosa hopes to become a legend at sea and lead his own pirate fleet.

‘What's this guy's going on?’

With uncertainty about the consequences of rejecting William III, Xin Sheng's attitude was not particularly firm.

After all, Hampton Palace is a royal palace and the garrison is very tight. Xin Sheng is not 100% sure that he can escape after tearing his face.

Just like the feedback he got when observing the terrain before.

There is a large plain near Hampton Palace. Even if you escape the palace, it is almost impossible to escape the pursuit of the Royal Knights in a plain environment.

...Unless Xin Sheng is willing to summon Pegas in front of countless people, the problems that may be even more serious.

To take a step back, even if you escape the pursuit of the Royal Knights and drive the Jackdaw to leave London Harbor, Xin Sheng, who offended the king, will definitely be on the British wanted list.

In the future, where British power exists, Xin Sheng will become a rat crossing the street, and even in many places it cannot rely on port for supplies.

On the other hand, if he agreed to William III's request to find the Bulao Spring and returned to the Caribbean with the identity of the King's envoy, Xin Sheng would have more operational space between the Pirates Guild and Beckett, which would not be a completely bad thing.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xin Sheng temporarily suppressed his temper and followed Barbosa to leave the living room of Hampton Palace.

"Heckett, what are you thinking?"

While leaving the palace, Xin Sheng whispered to Barbosa and asked: "Doing things for the king can indeed bring a lot of benefits, but it will also be greatly restricted."

"William III will definitely put eyeliners around us. Is this what you hope for, who have always pursued freedom?"

Barbosa smiled calmly: "Of course I know, but I have the confidence to control them."

"I am Captain Barbosa. What's the matter with a captain without a ship?"

"William III promised to allocate me a light high-speed battleship that had just been launched, and to allocate a group of royal sailors and 'adjutants' to the ship."

It is said to be an adjutant, but it is actually used to monitor Barbosa's eyeliner.

"A adjutant and several sailors will also be stationed on the Jackdaws. Don't tell me that you don't have the confidence to hold them."

"Tsk!"

Xin Sheng smacked his lips unhappily: "So you were making this idea. If you cheat the ship and the King of England, aren't you afraid of not having a foothold in the Caribbean in the future?"

At this time, the two had left the palace complex of Hampton Palace, and Barbosa burst into laughter.

"Haha! I was a pirate, and I was used to being domineering on the sea."

"If William III wants to capture me, I will go to the Caribbean to set up a world-class Internet cafe. I don't believe Spain will sit and watch Britain transfer fleets to its back garden to set up defenses."

After saying the tough words, Barbosa turned his mind and showed a cunning expression.

"Besides, as long as we can help William III bring back the Spring of Unold, will all problems be solved?"

Xin Sheng rolled his eyes: "It's better to be so easy."

"I would like to remind you first that the Spaniards have always regarded the Age of the cult heresy."

"No one really coveted the Bu Laoquan before, but they can sit firmly on Diaoyutai."

"Once the British sent people to find out where Ponce de Leon was last, the Spaniards will definitely take corresponding countermeasures."

“This treasure hunt is not as easy as you think.”

Barbosa smiled freely and easily: "If it is easy, it is called treasure hunting and adventure? The real life of pirates is always fresh and exciting."

...

The ship delivered by William III to Barbosa was named the Falcon Eagle, with a specification similar to the Interceptor. It is a light high-speed battleship that emphasizes maneuverability.

Except for Barbosa himself, the sailors and adjutants on the ship were all members of the Royal Navy.

But Barbosa didn't care about this. With his years of experience as an old captain, he impressed the group of naval recruits and soon showed his authority on the ship.

As long as Barbosa keeps his promise to William III, the adjutant on the ship will not hinder him at all, but will do his best to assist him.

Before the docks boarded their own ships, Barbosa handed over a notebook with rubies on the surface to Xin Sheng.

"This is Galileo's notes. I fulfilled my promise and hope you don't forget the second half of the deal."

After looking at the notebook, Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"You've obtained the Falcon Hawk, and are you still interested in the Blackbeard's ship?"

"Ha ha!"

Barbosa turned around and left with a smile: "Who would think that the few ships under his command? What I want to build is a whole fleet, of course, the more the more the better."

Barbosa is a rebellious man with strong self-esteem. When he was discussing transactions with Xin Sheng before, he could hardly get any decent chips in his hand and was at a disadvantage throughout the whole process.

This was unbearable for Barbosa, so he agreed to his request when William III came to him and took the opportunity to ask for a ship of his own.

When Xin Sheng brought a small team of Royal Navy back to the Jackdaw, Barnabas and others who were waiting on the ship showed surprise.

"Captain, are they?"

Xin Sheng shrugged: "The 'partners' who are temporarily acting with us, until they find the Unold Spring, they will follow the Jackdaws."

Barnabas understood Xin Sheng's stress and a sudden look appeared in his eyes.

‘A watcher?’

Xin Sheng turned around and said to the headed officer of the Royal Navy: "Captain, please introduce yourself first."

The young man, known as the captain by Xin Sheng, was wearing a blue naval officer's uniform and a silver wig on his head, and his expression looked a bit old-fashioned.

The officer stood up straight, raised his chin slightly and introduced himself, "I am Captain Will Jefferson of the Royal Navy, and I have been ordered by King William III to help you go to sea."

Seven sailors also followed the commander and informed their names.

Xin Sheng was too lazy to remember his name and handed the task to first mate Barnabas.

"They are the first mate of Jackdaw Barnabas, the second mate of Kegan, and the special scholar Herodotus..."

"etc!"

Captain Jefferson interrupted Xin Sheng's introduction and frowned at Angelica who was following Herodotus.

"Why are there women on the boat?"

There are still many superstitions in this era, and even the pirates who have always been free and unrestrained are no exception.

Many people believe that taking women to the sea will bring misfortune. Apart from passenger ships, even merchant ships will not allow women to board the ship.

As a modern person, Xin Sheng certainly does not believe in this nagging legend of sexism.

From Elizabeth to Angelica, it was not the first time that the Jackdaw had women boarded the ship, and there had never been any misfortune.

Although Angelica was a little dissatisfied with Captain Jefferson's questioning, as a person living in this era, she had more or less heard of the rules at sea, and could only turn her eyes to Xin Sheng in a depressed manner.

Xin Sheng said to Jefferson without hesitation: "Angelica is the civilian I took in. Because she is homeless, she will temporarily follow the Jackdaws."

"But……"

"No, but."

Xin Sheng stared at Jefferson coldly and said, "This is my boat, and the rules are reserved by me."
