Chapter 257: wait
In the world of the 18th century, there were few ways of entertainment, especially Allen, who had experienced the great entertainment era of later generations, was even more boring. But for people of this era, this port city in the Caribbean is a joyous nest. When the night fell, a large number of sailors, or pirates who had changed their faces, wandered between taverns and brothels, talking vulgar jokes, drinking inferior rum, holding the prostitutes with bare **** in their arms, and laughed loudly.
This is the normal state of the great voyage period. Although humans can already sail oceans, they gamble with their lives every time they go to sea, and the high profits make them a habit of crazily enjoying every time they dock.
The noisy environment, tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and poor-quality perfume sprayed on prostitutes, mixed together to form a strange smell, especially in this period Europeans did not like to take a bath, it is simply a biochemical gas.
One theory is that they believe that water is the source of disease. The most famous is the Black Death. At that time, the Black Death broke out in Europe and killed tens of millions, which was equivalent to one-third of the entire population of Europe at that time.
Now everyone knows that the Black Death is the plague. The problem is that people in that era didn't know. They saw many people bathing in the bathroom, and they fell ill and died. They thought the Black Death was caused by bathing, so they were scared to take a bath.
There is also a saying that the dirtier the body, the closer to the **** they believe in (I think this is very unreliable, so smelly, the **** is so smelly...).
It is said that if there is a person who does not take a bath for a lifetime, he may still be canonized as a saint. This ethos has caused the believers to not bathe in order to become saints...
The famous French sun king, Louis XIV, took single-digit baths in his life. His son Louis XV was even more powerful. He took only three baths in his life, birth, marriage, and death. You can imagine the taste of these nobles at that time.
In order to cover up the smell of his body, Louis XIV made the craftsmen invent a perfume, which is perfume. The invention of perfume swept France overnight, and then spread across the European continent.
Don't expect this era to be the aristocrats and polite, handsome knights and gentlemen as you imagined. Those are things that have been beautified many times later. In this era, sailor pirates have no qualities, as are nobles and kings. Even the king urinates and urinates everywhere. It is said that the French court has no toilets or toilets, and the nobles all settled in the grass.
Alan came to this era for the first time and was full of curiosity about everything, but after wandering around once, the reality is more cruel. Although the noble area is also messy, at least it is acceptable, but you have to go anywhere in the civilian area. Be careful, there may be excrement falling from the sky...
So after building the residence on the hillside, Allen built a complete drainage system in the manor. Even the connection to the port was paved with slabs of stone, and the black slaves cleaned up every day. The manor also built a bathing area. Mandating everyone to take a bath, Allen doesn’t want to be surrounded by a group of people who don’t take a bath.
Soon people in this port discovered that no matter whether it was a slave, a servant or a butler in Allen's Manor, there was never that smell on his body, and the manor was exceptionally tidy. Although I am a little out of place with the people around me, money is advocating in this era, so it is understandable that a rich person has some quirks.
As one of the richest people in this port, Allen often receives invitations from some nobles to participate in some banquets. At the beginning, Alan also attended, but the experience of these banquets was not pleasant.
Fashion in this era makes Allen feel hot eyes, ruining the three views. The age of the Sun King has just passed, and their aesthetics still affects the whole of Europe. For example, Louis XIV wore a wig because of hair loss and baldness.
This weird trend swept the entire Europa. For a time, kings and nobles of all countries were proud of wearing wigs. This trend began to spread to the civilian army. The nobles of this era would wear wigs on formal occasions. The wigs are very strange. It looks like an unrolled book.
Until the era before Allen passed, this kind of wig was still popular in some industries such as the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
If you think that just wearing a wig is a popular fashion, you are wrong. You can never imagine the aesthetics of European aristocrats in this era. High heels are all worn by beauty-conscious ladies in Alan’s impression. In this era, High heels are men's favorite, not only high heels, but also ballet skirts, that is, tights.
Imagine a 40-year-old male white nobleman, tall, wearing a pair of high heels, tights, and wearing a wig, sprayed with perfume, mixed with strong body odor. This picture... well, it's so beautiful.
This weird style is the most popular fashion in Europe during this period. The portrait painted by the famous painter Ascent Rigo for Louis XIV of the Sun King is wearing a wig, tights, high heels...
After attending a few banquets, Allen rarely accepts invitations to go there, and usually only asks the housekeeper to bring a gift to congratulate him.
In the beginning, these nobles still criticized Alan, and these Europeans were very realistic. With the development of the great nautical era, Britain's strength is increasing day by day. This group of British people can't wait for their eyes to grow above their heads. They look down on human beings in other places except Britain. Allen only used one [spiritual hint], and this group of people kept going. To please him.
If it were not for fear that his actions would interfere with the plot, Jack Sparrow would not be able to arrive in Port Royal on time Can’t use Captain Jack’s good fortune to find the things he is interested in, Ellen would have filmed it a long time ago The **** left.
He remembered that Jack Sparrow’s first appearance was at a banquet where the commander of the Port Royal Navy, Colonel Norrington, was promoted to brigadier general. And now that Colonel Norrington is just a captain of the battleship Interceptor, the Royal Navy is now tracking down and arresting the raging pirates in the Caribbean.
After the British defeated the Spaniards and dominated the Caribbean Sea, they no longer need pirates. What they need is prosperity and peace. The infrastructure of Port Royal is complete. Ships enter and exit every day. As a commercial center, those pirates who disrupt order are naturally The unpopularity has become a bottleneck hindering the development of the port. As a result, it is clear that there will be no birds but good bows. The cunning rabbit dies, the foolish dog cooks.
After all, not everyone has the courage to live in a chaotic and dangerous area.
Captain Jack, the protagonist of this period, has been lost on an island. Allen uses prophecy to find him, but all he sees is a mist, without the slightest effect. Obviously he is hidden, the world is not as simple as it seems.
Unable to find Captain Jack, Allen couldn't find the trident at all, so he had to stay in Port Royal, waiting for his appearance.
