Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 125
In the end, the Jackdaw stopped beside a relatively lush island, and the sailors rowed the boats carrying the bodies of the sacrificed sailors to the shore.
Although it is said that according to the general treatment method, the sailor’s body is directly thrown into the sea, which will not hinder the subsequent voyage and will not cause illness. But Gordon still thinks that it should be better to put it in the ground after activation.
After the Black Death that broke out in the fifteenth century, cremation of corpses became popular in the West.
The sailors rowed the boat, Gordon drank two sips of rum to numb his nerves, and there was a lot of sadness in his eyes.
These sailors who follow themselves are honest and responsible. Maybe they can make enough money on other ships and live a good life.
But after following him on the Jackdaw, the young man lost his life. He kept thinking about whether his actions were a little too selfish.
When the boat docked, the sailors cut down a lot of trees, or picked up dry wood, and erected a pile of wood neatly, and then stuffed the sailor’s body together with the bag, and began to cremate under the setting sun.
With the help of whale oil, the flames burned extremely fiercely, forming a high fire.
The firelight flickered in Gordon’s eyes, looking a little lonely.
Sailors all took off their hats and mourned the unfortunate death of those who died, because no one knew if this would be their end.
Serena stood beside Gordon and smiled at the troubled captain on the side: “Don’t worry, their souls will follow the Soul River to reach Gaia, and then be reborn. Death is only part of the cycle of life.”
This sentence gave Gordon a lot of comfort, his heavy heart relaxed a little, and he exhaled and said, “If that’s the case, that’s the best.”
“Everyone has their own path, Captain Gordon, it’s their own choice.”
Serena continued, as if she was describing a somewhat esoteric philosophical theory.
“I decided to become a privateer, and it was this decision that cost them their lives.” Gordon has always insisted on this, and it is also one of his self-blame.
“This is the path I chose, and they shouldn’t be allowed to take it.”
As he spoke, he almost took a gulp of rum.
“No, Gordon, when they had no objections and remained on the Jackdaw, it became their own path, and the only thing each could do was be responsible to themselves.”
Serena looked at the burning flame seriously, and seemed to be able to really see the soul.
Gordon didn’t speak any more, just gulps rum until the sky was completely dark, and the flames finally went out.
Sailors collected the ashes and unburned bones from it, and then erected a monument on the island.
The heroic sailor of the Jackdaw who died in battle – Captain Evan Gordon
Most of these sailors can’t name Gordon, and some even have nicknames, and they become a bunch of dead bones in obscurity, reincarnating in the world.
After solving these, the Jackdaw set sail again and continued towards the port of La Guaira.
Gordon stood alone on the side of the ship, blowing the sea breeze, and he didn’t eat much of his dinner. If this war continues for a long time, the sailors will lose more. He needs to upgrade the ship to effectively reduce the number of sailors. Loss.
He called up the animus, and found the hull upgrade of the ship.
Jackdaw Armor (Tier 1): Increases the ship’s defense against artillery strikes.
Consumption: Materials 500, Silver 1000
In the same state as the first upgrade, the whole world was frozen in an instant, and the waves and air that aroused stopped, no, or the time was stretched for a moment.
A white light swept across the hull of the ship. The thickness of the board on the side of the ship was obviously much thicker, and it already had the same properties as the armor on Gordon.
Jackdaw Hull (Tier 1): Increased the ship’s hull size loading capacity, as well as new gun emplacements.
Consumption: Materials 500, Silver 1500
After another white light passed, the whole ship was much larger in length, width and mast height, and at the bow of the ship, there were two more gun emplacements for the side guns. If you guessed correctly, in the cabin. There will also be two more gun positions inside, that is, four guns can be added.
The flow rate of time returned to normal again. The sudden change made the sailor seem a little confused. The sail rope in his hand seemed to be a little longer. Originally, he needed to take five steps to the side of the ship, but now he took two steps.
A sailor asked the other sailor in a low voice, “Did our ship suddenly get bigger?”
“Did you feel it too? I thought it was my illusion.”
“There seem to be two more gun positions in front…”
This kind of remarks began to spread to all the sailors. They were a little dazed, and then stared at Gordon, who seemed to want to know what happened?
“Captain? What’s the situation?” Allen asked cautiously as he stepped aside.
This seems to have happened once, and then there was an extra diving bell in the ship, but there was no change in general, but this time the change was a little too obvious. The Jackdaw has four more gun positions, and the length has reached fifty Meter.
But these are not the most important, the most obvious change is that the gaps made by the shells have all disappeared, and the whole ship is like new~www.mtlnovel.com~ Unless everyone is blind, then this ship must be Something amazing happened.
This sudden change made sailors a little panic. People are always afraid of things they don’t understand.
Of course Gordon couldn’t be silent at this time, but walked upstairs and shouted to all the sailors below.
“Everyone stay calm and don’t panic. This is a normal phenomenon for the Jackdaw. We have stronger armor, more artillery positions, and can carry more cargo.”
“Captain, is this a magical ship?”
A sailor shouted somewhat loudly below.
They had also heard of the Black Pearl, the legendary fastest ship, and in Mickey’s story, the ship was sunk by the navy, but reappeared at sea.
A ship with magic power can always give sailors a lot of confidence, proving that they are different and will be invincible.
“Of course, this is a ship full of magic.” Gordon said loudly, showing extreme confidence, he wanted to convince these sailors that the ship was still under the captain’s control, and there was nothing to worry about.
“All the sailors went back to their posts to clean up the blood and dirt on the boat, don’t worry, everything is normal.”
Gordon’s words reassured these simple-minded sailors, who always kept in mind that the captain is always right, and doesn’t a legendary captain all start with a legendary ship?
Only two people looked at Gordon differently. One was Jon. He sneered at the rumors about Gordon on the ship before, but now he completely turned his worldview upside down.
The other is Serena, this woman looked at Gordon with some playfulness in her eyes, but no one paid attention.
