Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 161
“So how do you feel about my proposal?”
Burton was very satisfied with Gordon’s response. If nothing else, Gordon was already moved.
“Deal, I will first search for information about El Dorado with the expedition team. When will I set off?”
Gordon’s reaction did not exceed his expectations.
“It should be sooner rather than later. Let’s start now. We will try our best to figure out everything before Lord Betke arrives.”
……
“Selina, is there anything you need to ask me?”
In this preliminary exploration, of course, Gordon wanted to bring the witch Selina directly, but for many reasons, he chose to give up. The first one was due to physical problems, and Selina was likely to drag the team. The second one is that even Burton didn’t have much illusions about this mission. This team is only equivalent to the death squad, and it has explored a lot of information for the subsequent large troops. Gordon himself It’s easier for people to run for their lives, if you bring Serena with you…
But before he set off, he still wanted to hear this witch’s opinion. Although it was half-hearted, he was the one who knew the curse the most among all the people here.
“Well, I did a divination. Your death date is not here, don’t worry, Evan, help me find the way.” Serena didn’t seem to care too much about this exploration, but used a very playful tone. talking.
Of course, this did dilute Gordon’s tension.
“…Dear Miss Witch, I’m really relieved to hear you say that, hehe!”
He showed a grinning expression. How should I put it, this witch who is “proficient” in divination, at least the weather divination is correct.
Gordon and Gore, with the seven bravest soldiers selected from more than a hundred soldiers, formed a team of nine.
In the camp at this time, Burton was also busy with his soldiers. Since they chose to camp here, they still need to clean up the bodies in the water, otherwise the water source will be polluted, and no one dares to risk their lives to move further upstream source to fetch water.
“Bring two teams of soldiers with me, try not to look at the gold, and use ropes and hooks to pull up the dead bodies.”
“Yes, sir! You, follow me.”
A lieutenant took Gore’s place temporarily and became a temporary adjutant. He followed Burton with two teams of soldiers. In this special time, Burton was more able to calm down the army by handling things in person.
More soldiers are logging to build the camp, and the place should be as strong as possible, because it may live here for many days, and even accommodate the follow-up personnel.
The soldiers were very busy, the sailors of the Jackdaw were relatively more leisurely, and many sailors seemed to have nothing to do, they talked loudly about the gold, and of course built camp under the supervision of Allen, but obviously the interest was not high. .
The sailors seemed to be a little impetuous. Someone heard Gordon and Burton’s conversation and spread it out. Because according to Gordon’s character, every sailor has the opportunity to get a lot of money, and someone has already started planning how to spend this money, which is not a good phenomenon.
Few of these people are worried about the life and death of their captain. I don’t know if it is because of absolute trust or because they have been dazzled by gold. These young men who were originally simple-minded have already undergone tremendous changes in the sea. I don’t know. Where did it start and gradually spread.
In the whole camp, if there was one person who was worried about Gordon, it was Captain Mickey.
He knows what kind of person Gordon is. Sometimes he is hot-blooded and easily reckless for the people he is close to. This kind of person is terrible, respectable, but also reckless. Many things are not considered at all.
Gordon has no faith. He is not afraid of gods, let alone curses. He does not believe in the rumors that sailors will capsize the ship by letting women on board, nor does he believe that witches will bring bad luck.
This kind of person acts without rules and fears, and can often do things according to their own ideas, but is easily manipulated by fate.
This time, he strongly requested to accompany Gordon to go with him, but was refused by Gordon righteously.
“Mitch, don’t worry, it’s easy to distract me with you, don’t worry, the great Captain Gordon’s voyage has just begun, and we still have a long way to go.”
Gordon left with a confident smile on his face. El Dorado should be an important turning point in his life. If everything goes smoothly, according to what he thinks and discovers, the future will be bright. He is willing to fight for these. beat.
Mickey couldn’t say anything in the end, he could only say: “Captain, we still have a boat waiting for you, if we can’t, we will leave here, no matter what the UK or the navy, we can continue to make money on the sea. .”
“Don’t worry, my boatswain, it’s definitely possible, definitely!”
This is the situation in the camp for the time being. At this time, Gordon and Gore are heading towards the waterfall with a group of people. No, it should be said that it is Angel Falls, the waterfall with the largest drop in the world~www. mtlnovel.com~ Also known as Angel Falls.
He had already recognized this magnificent waterfall, of course, in this day and age, no one had named it, and if the expedition was successful, the waterfall might be called Burton Falls, or Strange Falls, huh, maybe It will be called Evan Gordon Falls.
This is what Gordon had in mind.
They tried their best to stay away from the river along the way. They didn’t look at the gold, but they could clearly see the dead bones on the river bank. Those bones were abnormally white and even reflected light. It is the pioneer of exploring the El Dorado, and of course it may also be the Indians living here.
These bones show people the cruelty of finding the El Dorado, but the latter are like moths to the flames and continue to invest in it.
They walked along the river bank for about five kilometers, and they saw the waterfall was close to their eyes, and the gold in the water was even more dazzling. To be honest, if he hadn’t already known the curse on the gold, Gordon would definitely jump into the river and put the All those shining things turned into their own gold coins.
He couldn’t help but take a peek at it, and instantly felt that his greed filled his brain, and he possessed the desire for those golds.
Gore first discovered that Gordon was in a wrong state, so he directly dragged him and slapped him with two big slaps.
“Sober up Gordon, you’re going to die. How dare you look at the gold!”
The two slaps completely woke Gordon, and even broke out in a cold sweat.
What am I doing! This is definitely not my usual me.
The turbulent waterfall fell from the sky, and the water flow was extremely fast. As long as he dared to jump down, he would definitely die.
“Thanks Gore.”
Gordon showed an ugly smile and put away his contempt.
