Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 118
Gordon never imagined that he had just entered the courthouse out of some curiosity, only to see his brother being hanged. He didn’t know if it was a fate or a joke, just as Barbossa watched Gordon before he died. What Don said.
“This is just a joke.”
Fate always likes to play with those who think they control everything.
“Sir, a friend of mine is going to be hanged tomorrow. We want to go see him and bring him some food.”
Harry already had some food in his hands that was originally intended for their own dinner, and it just came in handy at this time.
“Sir, this is a severe prison, and visitors are not allowed.”
The two soldiers on patrol were righteous and stopped them from moving forward.
Of course, in this world serving the rich, if you don’t have money, you just do business as usual. If you have money, of course it’s another matter.
That all changed when Gordon took out a small bag of silver coins and shoved it into the hands of the two guards.
“Sir, of course you can visit, but you need to accompany us.”
The soldiers said this, and then took Gordon and Harry directly through the prison gate. Of course, the guards didn’t give any less money.
After inquiring about the location of Duncan’s detention, they walked into the underground prison accompanied by two soldiers. It was dark, damp and full of stench. Even a prosperous port like Lisbon would not be suitable for these death row prisoners. With the slightest care.
And in the process, Gordon scanned everything with his eagle eye and wiped out all the defenses.
It may not have happened for a long time that someone robbed a prison. The main guard of the soldiers was the inside of the fortress, preventing someone from escaping from the prison.
On the top wall of the prison, there are a total of five sentries standing at the highest point. Their weapons are long guns. The east side of the prison is a simple gallows, and the west side is a swamp and bushes. The location is relatively remote and there are no residential houses.
The only good news is that the north is a cliff, and the water below it, but it is full of reefs, and there is a Royal Navy station around it, and there is no way to live.
In a small room in the dungeon, five soldiers were playing cards boredly. Their only task was to open the door of the cell when there was trouble and teach them a lesson. As for whether they would be injured or not, here If they get sick and die in this environment, that’s not what they need to think about.
Seeing that a patrolling soldier came down with a well-dressed man and a sailor, he naturally understood, but he just took a second look and didn’t take care of it.
Gordon has seen one dark room after another. The people with the iron doors closed are all kinds of people, some fierce, cowardly, wretched, and even women and children.
He pointed directly to the child beside him and asked, “He looks only eleven or twelve years old, why was he sentenced to death?”
Given that Gordon gave a lot of money, the guard was happy to answer this question.
“He, stole something into the noble’s house and bit the mistress’s hand, of course…”
Gordon pointed to another woman, the same young, looking less than twenty years old, looking clean even in prison, saw someone coming, just smiled, as if he didn’t care about it at all, yes life, and even life lost all confidence.
“What about her?”
The soldiers even panicked when they saw the woman: “This is a witch. Everyone in her family died of illness, but she was the only one alive. She even bit off a guard’s finger when she was in prison.”
This time, even Harry shook his head. It was nonsense. Although he didn’t know if there were any witches in this world, would a witch be caught by a group of ordinary people? The most serious consequence was that a soldier had his finger bitten off.
Don’t call witches so cheap.
Finally, when he reached the end of the prison, he saw Harry leaning against the iron fence, watching the two men slowly approach, smiling a little freely.
“I’m really bothering you two to come to see me, did you bring any wine?”
Gordon corked a bottle of rum in his hand, and the latter pulled off the cap and poured half of the bottle directly into his stomach to stop the momentum.
Don’t talk about alcohol in the prison, there is not even a mouthful of clean fresh water, the lips are chapped, and the whole body is weak.
Harry even handed over a lot of white bread and roasted meat. The bread was dipped in butter. Although the roasted meat was cold, Duncan burst into tears.
This is a meeting scene that none of the three have ever thought of. Three friends who used to walk across the street together, one became a captain, the other became a prisoner, and the other just went through the transition from slave to sailor.
Gordon also took a gulp of wine and watched the sky outside gradually dim. Even if the kerosene lamp was lit in the dungeon, it was extremely dim.
Duncan was a little choked up, his tears and snot on the bread, and he insisted on eating it. This might be his last dinner.
The two soldiers were bored watching the meeting of the three of them, and they saw that they were hungry. They had never seen anyone who could eat so deliciously~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because even the last time before dying. For dinner, only one of ten people can eat it.
Nothing else happened, the soldiers gave Gordon and Harry half an hour, and then got into the small room with the jailers and began to eat and drink.
“Don’t sleep too hard tonight.”
Gordon reminded in a low voice.
“What?” Duncan didn’t expect Gordon to suddenly say such a sentence, and asked in surprise.
“We’re going to jail tonight.” Harry said the news very calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was preparing for a great career.
“Haha, Gordon, forget it, this is Lisbon, but it’s not a small place. Where can we go in this prison? Are all three of them fugitives?”
Duncan just listened to this as a joke, then sighed and said, “Forget it, my own life is like this, don’t do stupid things.”
Gordon shook his head, just to remind: “Just remember, at two o’clock, don’t sleep too hard.”
They handed everything in their hands to Duncan and asked him to eat more, so that they could have the strength to escape tonight, so that the two of them would save some energy.
They finally left, because he still had to arrange a specific plan. If he wanted to escape from here, the gang leader of the Jackdaw was indispensable, and he had to make a disguise.
Leaving the prison, Gordon took Harry to where the Jackdaw was docked, and finally let his friend see this boastful ship.
“It turned out to be a really good boat!” Harry subconsciously praised, in his impression, Gordon’s boat may have just left the fishing boat, and the current size of the Jackdaw is about 30 meters. Standard on speed merchant ships, and more sophisticated.
