Chapter 527 This Iron-masked Man Must Sing Very Well
This sudden behavior surprised Li Ming and his group, but Bianca naturally disdained such pretentious behavior. "They are obviously a group of pirates, but they are so pretentious. They look more like a theater troupe."
"It's a pretty good show, with a boatswain, a pilot, and a captain. If there were also a cook, a sniper, a swordsman, a musician, a doctor, a cartographer, and a historian, plus a qualified mascot, it would be a perfect pirate group."
"Um, Mr. Knight, aren't you saying too much?" Reina said, why does a pirate group need so many people? A boatswain and a pilot are enough, and that iron-clad combat instructor is redundant.
"You don't understand, this is the romance of the sea!" Li Ming said that this is the configuration standard of a certain King Luffy.
Barbarossa didn't care about that. "Thank you for your compliment, 'King's Troupe'!"
Barbarossa took off his hat and bowed slightly to Bianca. This sudden action made Bianca speechless.
Rita obviously knew more, especially when she learned that there were many characters from different worlds and time periods in this world, she became much more perceptive.
"'The King's Men' is the one about Shakespeare..." Rita's face was slightly puzzled, and Li Ming looked at Rita, wanting her to explain.
But soon the "Barbarossa" answered Li Ming's question, "Yes, it is the 'King's Theatre', and I am the 'William Shakespeare' who plays the pirate captain "Barbarossa"."
Shakespeare introduced confidently and put his hat back on, but the reactions of Li Ming and his group did not satisfy what she wanted to see.
Li Ming glanced at Rita and said in surprise, "William Shakespeare was such a funny lady?"
Li Ming's question made Rita shake her head helplessly, and Shakespeare's eyes suddenly turned into dead fish eyes, and his amber pupils stared at them.
"If you don't mind this drama, I can also play Captain Nemo, although... I don't know much about this captain's deeds. My son just picked up a broken ship that was abandoned by him."
"Pick it up?" Rita's fingers brushed across the corner of her lips, with a look of realization in her eyes.
Li Ming nodded. "I see. No wonder the technology tree of this ship is so crooked, and there are still many places that need patching up."
Shakespeare was embarrassed by this. "On a sunny morning, the director of the troupe was doing voice training facing the sea when he suddenly saw a steel monster. Bang! It jumped out of the whirlpool of the abyss. There was no one inside, and even the logbook was incomplete."
"That's not right. If it was Captain Nemo, shouldn't it be the Nautilus? Why did it become Barbarossa's Caledonia?"
Shakespeare answered this question calmly, "To me, Captain Nemo and his Nautilus are just such a story without a beginning or an end."
"Are you kidding?" Bianca obviously didn't believe this, and Li Ming was obviously more curious about Shakespeare's gender. This was obviously wrong, and it gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Although I don’t remember it very clearly, this seems to be one of Yulandel’s background stories!
Suddenly he felt as if he had been tricked by Otto again. As expected, the bishop had no good intentions and would just stare at his little things every day when he had nothing to do.
"But you have to admit it - subverting the order, changing fate, enforcing justice - all of this is indeed interesting."
"Let me tell you first, in a certain sense, you can already be said to have changed your destiny." Although it was not a mockery, Li Ming had to admit that it was already very surprising that Shakespeare would appear in front of them.
"Besides, in this strange world where there is no order to begin with... subverting the order?" Bianca's sarcasm skills unconsciously improved after being in contact with Li Ming for a long time.
Those calm eyes looked at Shakespeare with the utmost intensity of sarcasm.
Who can tell what fate is? But Mr. Knight, you are right. Indeed, I have begun to change my fate. And this unknown lady of the Knight, it seems that you care a lot about order... Then why don't we introduce ourselves first?"
"I think it would be better to introduce myself." Li Ming nodded.
Bianca looked at Li Ming and Shakespeare in surprise, "Huh?"
How did these two guys jump from the topic they just discussed to introducing themselves?
"I am Marianne William Shakespeare, Captain of the Caledonian, from 16th century England. If you think Marianne is too silly, you can call me William or Shakespeare, whatever you want."
Obviously, Shakespeare didn't care much about being called that. Li Ming even thought that she would be happier if he called Shakespeare Barbarossa.
But in the 16th century, this Shakespeare was the Shakespeare who was more high-spirited. No wonder she called herself Barbarossa.
"Leila Sayida Hera, the boatswain, from Morocco, my contemporary."
Leila nodded at them, which made Li Ming start to think about the origin and origin of this name.
But apart from the name of the Queen of Heaven, Hera, he really couldn't think of anything else.
"This is James 'Jimmy' Watt, you know, a pilot from Scotland in the 18th century. He was the one who gave us the name 'Caledonia'."
James Watt?
Ignoring the out-of-place Jimmy in the middle, the three of them looked at each other and obviously guessed who it was. However, looking at her age, she was quite young and didn't look much older than Bianca.
"Although it would be nice to continue calling it the Nautilus, all the sailors agreed that we couldn't ignore the kindness of this young Scottish man, so we changed the name to the Caledonia."
"I say, it was you who wanted to change the name at that time!" Jimmy was obviously a little helpless about his own captain. "Besides, I didn't do anything at the beginning. I was just following the map."
Shakespeare was speechless for a moment because of Jimmy's disrespect. "...Oh, by the way, this is the 'Man in the Iron Mask', the first mate."
It was then that everyone noticed the man in a gray robe and an iron-gray mask covering his entire body.
If she hadn't moved, no one would have noticed her.
Li Ming took a closer look. The mask of the Iron Mask seemed to be made with technology from the 20th to 21st century, so her identity was very curious.
"...Please take care of me." The Iron-Faced Man had a kind of ruthless and impartial feeling. He spoke surprisingly little. His voice sounded quite nice, but I didn't know how he would sound when he sang.
"We respect her reasons for keeping her name anonymous, so we hope you won't ask her unnecessary questions about her privacy." Shakespeare smiled.
Before Li Ming could complain, Bianca couldn't help but say, "This is too suspicious!"
"Come to think of it, the Iron-Masked Man isn't as suspicious as you all!"
Shakespeare finally retorted, but Bianca did not retort, she just sighed, "Forget it, no matter what this Iron Masked Man is like, I will introduce myself."
"I'm Bianca Atagina, this is Rita Rossweisse, and this weird guy is our commander Li Ming. We came to this world to explore in the name of God."
"And there is Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, um, a retired sailor! Our main task is to record and report on the environment, order, and civilization of this world." Li Ming took over Bianca's words, and Miguel smiled and nodded.
After listening to their self-introductions, everyone fell silent. Finally, Shakespeare looked at Bianca with curiosity in his eyes, "...Destiny? Then you are the Valkyries!"
"?" Shakespeare's reaction surprised Bianca, as if Shakespeare knew the existence of destiny and the Valkyrie, but according to common sense, this shouldn't be the case.
