In the world of the 18th century, there were very few entertainment methods, especially Allen, who had experienced the great era of entertainment in later generations, was even more boring. But for people of this era, this Caribbean port city was a happy nest. After nightfall, a large number of sailors, or pirates in disguise, lingered in taverns and brothels, telling vulgar jokes, drinking low-quality rum, holding half-exposed prostitutes in their arms, and laughing loudly.

This is the normal state in the age of great voyages. Although human beings can already sail in the ocean, every time they go to sea, they are gambling with their lives. The high income makes them develop the habit of enjoying it crazily every time they dock.

The noisy environment, tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and low-quality perfume sprayed by prostitutes mixed together to form a weird smell, especially Europeans in this period did not like to take a bath, it was simply biochemical gas.

One theory is that they believed water was at the root of spreading disease. The most famous is the Black Death, when the Black Death broke out in Europe and killed tens of millions of people, equivalent to one-third of the entire population of Europe at that time.

Everyone now knows that the Black Death is the plague. The problem is that people in that era didn’t know it. They saw many people taking a bath in the bathroom, and they died of illness. They thought that the Black Death was caused by taking a bath, and they were too scared to take a bath.

There is also a saying that the dirtier the body, the closer it is to the gods they believe in (I think this is very unreliable, it is so smelly, and the gods are also stinky to death...).

It is said that if a person does not take a bath all his life, he may be canonized as a saint. This kind of atmosphere has led to believers not taking a bath in order to become a saint...

The famous French Sun King Louis XIV bathed in single digits in his life. His son Louis XV was even more powerful. He only bathed three times in his life. He was born, married, and died. You can imagine the smell of these nobles at that time.

In order to cover up the stink on his body, Louis XIV asked craftsmen to invent a kind of spice, which is perfume. The invention of perfume became popular in France overnight, and then spread to the whole European continent.

Don't expect this era to be as noble and polite as you imagined, and knights and handsome gentlemen, those are things that have been beautified many times later. In this era, sailors and pirates have no quality, and the same goes for nobles and kings. Even kings defecate everywhere. It is said that there are no toilets or toilets in the French court, and the nobles settled in the grass.

Allen came to this era for the first time, and he was full of curiosity about everything, but after wandering around once, the reality was even more cruel. Although the aristocratic area is also very dirty, it is at least acceptable, but in the civilian area, you have to feel it anytime, anywhere. Be careful, there might be excrement falling from the sky...

So after building the residence on the hillside, Allen built a complete drainage system in the manor, and even paved a road connecting the port with stone slabs.

And let the black slaves clean up every day, the manor also built a bathing place, and ordered everyone to take a bath. Allen didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people who didn't take a bath.

Soon the people in this port discovered that no matter the black slaves, servants or housekeepers in Allen Manor, they would never have that smell on their bodies, and the manor was exceptionally clean. Although it is a bit out of tune with the people around, money is valued in this era, so it is understandable for a rich person to have some eccentricities.

As one of the most wealthy people in this port, Allen often receives invitations from some nobles to attend some banquets. At the beginning, Allen also participated in these banquets, but the experience of these banquets was not pleasant.

The popular fashion of this era made Allen feel hot eyes and ruined the three views. The era of the Sun King has just passed, and their aesthetics are still affecting the whole of Europe. For example, Louis XIV wore a wig because of hair loss and baldness.

This weird trend has swept across the entire Europa. For a time, the kings and nobles of various 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 shape of the wig is very weird. Look It looks like a book reversed.

Until the era before Allen traveled, this kind of wig was still popular in some industries such as Britain and Xiangjiang.

If you think that just wearing a wig is fashionable, you are very wrong. You can never imagine the aesthetics of European aristocrats in this era. In Allen’s impression, high heels are worn by ladies who love beauty. In this era, High heels are men's favorite, and not only high heels, but also tutus, which are leggings.

Imagine a 40-year-old male white aristocrat, tall and tall, wearing a pair of high heels, tight pants, and a wig, sprayed with perfume, mixed with strong body odor. This image is... uh, beautiful.

This weird style was the most popular fashion in Europe during this period. The portrait painted by the famous painter Ascent Rigaud for the Sun King Louis XIV is wearing a wig, tights, and high heels...

After attending several banquets, Allen rarely accepted invitations to go, and usually only asked the housekeeper to bring a gift to congratulate.

At the beginning, these nobles were quite critical of Allen, and these Europeans were very realistic. With the development of the Age of Discovery, the strength of Britain is increasing day by day. This group of British people can't wait to grow their eyes on the top of their heads and look down on humans in other places except Britain. please him.

If it wasn't for fear that his actions would interfere with the plot, causing Jack Sparrow to fail to arrive at Port Royal on time, and unable to use Captain Jack's good luck to find those things he was interested in, Allen would have patted his ass and left long ago.

He remembered that the first time Jack Sparrow appeared was at the banquet for the promotion of Colonel Norrington, the naval commander of Port Royal, to Commodore. And now Colonel Norrington is only a captain of the battleship HMS Interceptor, and the Royal Navy is hunting down and arresting raging pirates in the Caribbean at this time.

After the British defeated the Spaniards and monopolized the Caribbean Sea, they no longer needed pirates. What they needed was prosperity and peace. The infrastructure of Port Royal was perfect, and ships came in and out every day. As a commercial center, those pirates who disrupted order naturally It is no longer popular, and security issues have become a bottleneck hindering the development of the port. As a result, it is obvious that the birds are gone and the good bows are hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.

After all, not everyone has the courage to live in chaotic and dangerous areas.

The protagonist of this period, Captain Jack, has been lost on an island. Allen uses prophecy to find him, but all he sees is a fog without any effect. Apparently he's been kept in the dark, and 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.
