Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 109

The return of Gordon and Allen means that the banquet has begun, even if it is a very simple banquet, in this not-so-beautiful bar, there are no exquisite tableware and no fancy dress people.

A lot of meat was brought out from the back kitchen of the bar. By the way, there was also a roast goat. At this time, it was placed on a large round table, surrounded by sailors.

Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, the appearance of this roast lamb is extremely golden. The oil drips on the table, constantly exuding an attractive fragrance. The skin is roasted and crispy, which makes people appetite.

As usual, Gordon first tasted the roast lamb, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

“Well, it’s delicious, that Smith!”

Gordon shouted to the chef opposite the round table, who was tasting the roast lamb. Smith ate very carefully, and was slowly savoring the cooking skills and techniques contained in it.

“That’s how mutton should be eaten. Don’t cook any mutton soup next time.”

“Good captain!”

The happiest person at this banquet should be Coolidge. He looked at the sailors who ate meat and seemed to see his dream.

Those cheerful boys, they were loud, laughing, pouring rum into their stomachs, and singing to congratulate Gordon on this great captain.

“Sailors, we will set sail tomorrow morning. Because of a special mission, you have to restrain yourself tonight.”

Such a hasty departure might have raised objections on other ships, but on the Jackdaw, the ship in which the captain had absolute authority, the sailors simply answered loudly, “Yes, Captain!”

The captain is always right, this is the consensus of all the crew members.

Every step of the captain has a detailed plan. He is friendly to all the sailors, and gives rich food and a lot of gold coins, so the sailors should also repay their loyalty.

“Morgan, why didn’t you speak?”

Gordon leaned on his first mate’s shoulder and looked at the person who he saved was also the one who saved him.

There are too many reasons for the entanglement between the two. Without Gordon, Coolidge would have been buried in the sea long ago, and the same is true in reverse.

A stunned boy, who knows nothing. When he steps into a voyage, he will be eaten by people very quickly, and there will be no bones left.

“Captain, I only hope that you will be able to go well in the following voyage. Almost all of my skills have been passed on to Alan. In the future, you will have to rely on him.”

“Don’t talk about that, just drink.” Gordon raised his glass, not wanting to make the mood tragic. There are many words that don’t need to be said, just keep them in his heart for a lifetime.

Gurgling…

Gordon poured the entire glass of ale into his stomach.

“Morgan, you know, the voyage is a bit rushed this time. I can’t send you home. As for your daughter, let’s see you again, haha, what a pity.”

“Why do you feel pity when you look like this?”

“Okay.” Gordon put away his outrageous laugh, and then said, “Is that so? Hehe, what a pity…”

“Gordon, you are enough!”

According to common sense, it should be a slap on Gordon’s head now, but this time Kulic didn’t do it, just a little silent.

“I heard that you are going to fly the Eastern route?”

From the point of view of Gordon building large ships, the intention is obvious.

“Why not, it’s a journey to make money.”

“Then you have to be careful, be careful of the East India Company, and even more careful of the pirates in Singapore.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Gordon’s mouth. Pirates, hehe, the so-called Captain Shao Feng? Anyway, he didn’t see in the movie that this pirate was any different from the others.

“The leader of the pirates is called Shao Feng. They have been at war with the East India Company for 20 years. They have 800 large ships, not including the supply ships.”

Dangdang!

The fork fell on the original plate and made a crisp sound, and then Gordon’s chin fell. Is there a mistake, is it really a pirate? It is not an exaggeration to be a king by yourself!

“You’re kidding me! Is this a pirate?” Gordon forcibly pushed his chin up, his tone full of disbelief.

Coolidge just drank a big mouthful of ale, and replied helplessly: “Actually, I don’t know, but I mentioned this in the information of the Duolun Chamber of Commerce. It is said that the Chamber of Commerce was going to open up the eastern route ten years ago. The pirates annihilated the entire army…”

Well, Gordon took a deep breath, he finally understood why Jack always said that Singapore is a free land, why Shao Feng is the most powerful of all pirate kings, why the Frenchman had contact with the Qing Dynasty in 1700 , but a trade agreement has not been reached until now.

Quietly took a sip of rum to suppress his shock, the ale could no longer save him: “Can pirates be so rampant?”

Coolidge’s expression was noncommittal, outlaw, who can tell.

“Hello, Mr. Gordon!”

An unknown young man squeezed beside Gordon.

“Sir, my name is David, David Brook, I am a boatman. I used to work at Warner Shipyard. I heard that your ship has no boatman…”

Because of this banquet, the sailors in the entire tavern looked at the sailors of the Jackdaw with great envy~www.mtlnovel.com~ and many people wanted to join, but unfortunately the Jackdaw did not need more sailors , so almost everyone was declined, and then isolated outside, only this young man inquired about the boatman’s problem, and then found an opportunity.

Gordon interrupted his self-introduction: “If you are really a boatman, then you should understand the most basic mathematics. What is the Pythagorean theorem?”

“…”

Boatmen want to be popular with older people and have more experience. Forget about this kind of hairy young man. You see, you don’t know the most basic questions.

“Sir, I’m sorry, I lied. I’m just an apprentice. Although I don’t know how to build ships, I have repaired twenty merchant ships.”

The young man bowed his head in shame. He had been an apprentice in a shipyard for two years, and he couldn’t stand the boring life of being called to and fro every day. He became an apprentice just to have a craft and then join a certain sea boat, make big bucks.

Warner Dockyard is not far from the Royal Dockyard. He was bored waiting for the Jackdaw to moor in the maintenance dock, and then started the same work. As a result, the merchant ship did not stop at all and drove directly to the Royal Navy. Repairing the dock, he knew from that time that the captain must be a great man, rich or powerful.

“Son, my boat is not for you, you should go back to the farm to cut wool, or be a worker in a blacksmith shop, or a factory, my boat has joined the ranks of privateers today, and we are at war with other countries’ ships, Fight the pirates.”

“Hahaha……”

The sailors looked at this reckless young man, who was under seventeen at the most, and burst into laughter, making the blushing young man not know what to do.
