Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 153
“Haha, are you making a joke with me? I’ll give you the bounty, and then you’ll give me that thing that I don’t even know exists. Do you think I’m retarded?”
Burton was noncommittal to what the Spanish soldier in front of him said, and even wanted to laugh a little. This naive person wanted to use such a verbal transaction to get the bounty.
“Sir, sir, listen to me, we don’t want to hold such a thing at all, it will not bring us any benefit, it will bring disaster, I swear, everything I say is true. “
Burton looked at the soldier seriously, a very cowardly young man with no scheming and a very weak line of defense, so he put forward a more attractive offer.
“Do you think you can share the bounty equally with those pirates? Slade, right, this is your name, I think you can bring my people to find those pirates, and then I will give you the bounty alone.”
This proposal is undoubtedly tempting to Slade. He is disgusted by pirates of different paths, those vulgar people, the dregs of the sea, who are not even criminals, just a group of pigs, but he still has reason.
“Sir, I think it’s very likely that when I’m taking you to find something, you’ll kill me as well. It doesn’t seem to be difficult for you.”
“No no no, Mr. Slade, you don’t seem to know the difference between you and those pirates. You are a soldier, at least once, and now you are also a freeman, at least for me, You also brought me what I wanted, so don’t worry.”
Burton’s remarks directly broke his defense line. Looking at the brigadier general’s sincere eyes, it seemed that there was no need to deceive such a small person.
“This is the bounty you deserve.”
Burton dropped a purse containing twenty Spanish gold coins.
“If you can take me to find the angel, I will give you the other half.”
Slade opened the purse, made sure these things were real, and nodded, “Your Excellency, please come with me.”
The rain was still falling, and the pirates hiding behind the trees were already impatient.
A pirate touched a handful of water all over his face, and then continued to stare at the camp: “Relax, that kid can’t betray us, he has to know that he and we are one.”
“Are you sure we want to distribute the money to him?”
The leader of the pirate gave a wicked smile: “Haha, give it to him? I just hope that he will know each other better, otherwise my machete will not recognize people.”
He said this and saw that Slade had come back from the camp, holding a purse in his hand. Although it was not so rich, if it was all gold coins, it would be worth a lot.
Slade walked towards the hiding place by himself, but there were already British soldiers who kept leaning over, and they took a long detour, so it took a long time.
He walked to the hiding place, and sure enough, those pirates snatched his purse, and immediately opened it to check.
It was impossible to see clearly in the dark, so a pirate took out one and took a bite. It was indeed gold.
“Good job, but I don’t think these are the prices we agreed on. Where is the rest of the money?”
The pirate had already mastered the tricks of dealing with the deserter, and put him directly against the tree.
“Obviously, those British people couldn’t let me take all the money empty-handed. I had to take the angel back and exchange it for the remaining half.”
He said so, and then determined whether the square object was here.
The leading pirate stared at him stubbornly, and then spoke slowly.
“Take the rest of the money and come back here, otherwise you won’t want to know about the consequences.”
After speaking, he handed the angel to Slade.
But at this moment, the muffled groan of pain and the sound of the sword piercing the flesh reached his ears through the heavy rain.
The distance was very close. He turned his head sharply and saw seven or eight British soldiers. The other two pirates had already been pierced by sharp knives. Germany.
“It’s not fair, we just want a bounty! Slade, why did you betray us!”
He turned his head and shouted loudly, not knowing whether it was rain or tears.
He knew that he had no way out. Even if he could fight again, he would not be able to find a way out under the siege of seven or eight elite soldiers.
“I curse you, you coward, don’t die!”
Slade’s eyes were very cold at this time, and he even sneered a little. He finally tasted the thrill of revenge, these residues.
“Sorry, we were never a team.”
The blades of the soldiers collided, and the lightning flashed, and a figure was stabbed into the stomach at the same time by five scimitars.
“Your Excellency, this is an angel.”
Slade put the angel down on Gore’s hand, and the latter lifted a horn to make sure it was true, and nodded in satisfaction.
“This is the rest of your bounty. Get the money and leave here.”
Gore threw him another purse, and Slade showed ecstasy, forty gold coins, which was a huge sum for a person.
“Thank you sir, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com wishes you to find El Dorado as soon as possible, and I hope you can stay away from those curses.”
Gore didn’t say anything, just watched Slade slowly turn around and prepare to leave, then stabbed his long sword into his chest.
Blood and pain covered his face, and he groaned in pain. He could no longer make any sound, but he showed an unbelievable expression when he fell to the ground. He didn’t understand why he was still killed at this time. , just because of this gold coin?
Gore pulled out the officer’s unique long sword and let the blood wash away in the rain: “Mr. Slade, deserters are disgusting, and I don’t want to take the time to confirm whether you are a spy.”
He retrieved the bounty from the pirates and the deserter, and then left with the people. He was not worried that it would be discovered by the Spaniards, and the dead would not leak secrets.
Gore walked into the tent wet and wet.
Burton didn’t look up: “Is it done?”
“Of course, sir, this is the bounty and the angels that were brought back.”
Gore put everything on the ground, and the angel was still wrapped in canvas.
“Keep the bounty until you need it.”
Burton ignored the bounty and picked up the angel instead.
The angel is not too big, just bigger than a water glass, a big iron beer glass. It should be solid and heavy.
He was playing with this thing, and through the canvas, he couldn’t see the whole picture, but just by touching it with his fingers, he could feel the delicate lines on it, which was really beautiful.
“My adjutant, put away things, don’t allow any soldiers to approach.”
“Yes, sir.”
Burton watched the heavy rain outside the tent, and his thoughts kept flying.
