Chapter 1182 Is this world a Frankenstein's monster?
Chapter 1182 Is this world a Frankenstein's monster?
This is an amazing discovery.
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Zhen's mind in an instant.
He looked at the blonde beauty in front of him, whose face was filled with grief and indignation.
My heart was filled with a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
It has the warmth of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
There was sympathy for her tragic fate.
But more than anything, it evoked a deep sense of vigilance and apprehension!
He had no idea who this woman was.
I don't know if she's friend or foe.
Little did they know that her appearance would bring chaos to a world that he had already turned upside down.
What new variables will this bring?
"The Barbosa you're talking about."
He hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Who is he?"
"He's a devil!"
Elizabeth said through gritted teeth.
"A devil more cruel and evil than all the pirates on this sea combined!"
"He was originally my father's most capable first mate."
"He was also the uncle I trusted the most."
"But three years ago."
"He wanted to steal the 'End of the World' nautical chart from my father's hands."
"They've actually committed a heinous rebellion!"
“He killed all the crew members who were loyal to my father.”
“My poor father was tied to the anchor and sunk alive to the cold seabed!”
"And I was sold by him to a slave market that was worse than hell!"
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape at the risk of my life..."
"They've probably already become playthings for those disgusting, fat, aristocratic pigs!"
Elizabeth stopped there.
Those sapphire-blue eyes were already brimming with glistening tears.
Her beautiful face was also filled with deep-seated hatred and indignation.
Murong Yan looked at her miserable appearance.
The hostility that had arisen in her heart because of her frivolous behavior just now.
Disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there was a deep sympathy from a fellow woman.
She stepped forward and took out a clean white silk handkerchief from her bosom, handing it to her.
"Wipe it."
Her voice was very soft and gentle.
Elizabeth was slightly taken aback.
She looked at the Eastern Empress in front of her with some surprise, who was handing her a handkerchief.
She hadn't expected this seemingly cold and arrogant Empress.
Surprisingly, he showed a side of caring for her.
"Thank you."
She took the handkerchief and said softly.
Then she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the grief in her heart, and continued speaking.
"It took me three whole years."
"From a penniless princess in distress."
"Step by step, she climbed to her current position as the most powerful pirate queen in the Caribbean."
"I got my father's 'Black Pearl' back."
"And I also regrouped a group of loyal followers."
"Everything I've done is for one purpose!"
"That means finding that damned traitor Barbossa!"
"Then I'll personally tear him to pieces! Grind his bones to dust!"
"To avenge my father's tragic death and those innocent sailors!"
Her voice was filled with a chilling sense of determination and madness!
Lin Zhen listened quietly.
He knew that what Elizabeth said was probably true.
This is basically in line with the melodramatic plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
But there were still some things he couldn't understand.
"Since you are already the most powerful pirate queen in the Caribbean."
He looked at her and asked.
"Why would you travel all the way to the East?"
"With your strength, you think you can take on Barbossa?"
"It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"If it's just Barbosa."
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth let out a bitter, desolate laugh.
"Of course I'm not afraid."
"But he has now pledged allegiance to a being that is more powerful and terrifying than himself!"
"Who?"
"The East India Company!"
A deep sense of apprehension and fear appeared on Elizabeth's face.
"The East India Company?"
Lin Zhen frowned again.
This name was also very well-known to him.
That was the British Empire, later known as the "Empire on which the sun never sets".
The sharpest dagger for colonial expansion and capital plunder!
How did they end up in this era?
Is it...
An even bolder and more absurd idea instantly popped into his head!
Is this world not just a simple parallel universe?
Instead, it is a collection of characters and forces from different historical periods and different film and television works.
Everything is mixed together in a bizarre and fantastical world, a super Frankenstein's monster?!
This thought sent chills down Lin Zhen's spine.
If that's the case.
Then the waters of this world are far too deep!
It went so deep that even he, a time traveler with memories of the future, was affected.
I can't quite figure it out anymore.
"Is this East India Company very powerful?"
Murong Yan looked at Elizabeth and asked.
"More than just impressive."
A bitter smile appeared on Elizabeth's face.
"They possess the largest fleet in the world!"
"The most advanced firearms!"
"And the most well-trained army!"
"Their influence extends throughout the entire Western world!"
"Even the emperors of our most powerful Western empires."
"We must bow down and submit to them!"
"It can be said that they are the true uncrowned kings of our Western world!"
"And that traitor Barbossa is now their most trusted lackey!"
"He was in charge of the East India Company, and all its fleets and armed forces in the Caribbean!"
"Although I can barely hold my own against him."
"But we want to completely eliminate him."
"That's utterly delusional!"
That's why I traveled thousands of miles to the East!
"Because I've heard that there's a mysterious empire here that's far more powerful and wealthier than the East India Company!"
"Here stands an unparalleled empress, more wise and powerful than all the monarchs of the West combined!"
"And there is another, an invincible war god who is even more unbeatable than all the legendary heroes!"
Looking into Lin Zhen and Murong Yan's sapphire-like eyes, she saw their last and only hope!
"Your Majesty the Emperor! Your Highness the Regent!"
She knelt down on one knee with a "plop".
“I, Elizabeth Swann, am willing to exchange my life, my loyalty, and this ‘Black Pearl’ for it!”
"I earnestly request that you two send troops to help me!"
"Destroy Barbossa! And that evil East India Company!"
Elizabeth's plea was filled with pathos and inflammatory rhetoric.
This caused everyone present to fall into a deep silence.
The prefect of Guangzhou and his accompanying officials.
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were utterly terrified by the immense power of the so-called "East India Company" that Elizabeth had mentioned.
A business company that can make all the emperors of Western empires bow down to it?
This...this is absolutely unbelievable!
They really couldn't imagine it.
Besides them, there is no one else in this world who can achieve great things.
Such a terrifying behemoth still exists.
Murong Yan's brows were also furrowed at this moment.
Although she was not as ignorant as those officials.
But the power of the "East India Company" that Elizabeth mentioned.
This was indeed beyond her expectations.
She originally thought that the only thing in the world besides that self-destructive "Rakshasa Kingdom" was...
And beyond that distant "Ottoman Türkiye".
They should be invincible in the Great Qian Dynasty.
But now it seems.
The world is far more complex than she imagined.
It's also much more dangerous.
She glanced at Lin Zhen beside her subconsciously.
I wanted to see his reaction.
But they discovered that this was a man who would remain unfazed even if the sky were to fall.
At this moment, they surprisingly fell into a long silence.
His face was expressionless.
But in those deep eyes, there flickered a complex light that was difficult for others to understand.
There was shock and solemnity.
But more than anything, it's the excitement and anticipation of meeting a worthy opponent!
He knew things were getting more and more interesting.
