Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 228
November 31, 1715
We have been sailing from Tulum for six days. The rainy season is over. As the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, the sea has ushered in strong southward winds. Our voyage has sped up a lot. There is no rainfall, and our freshwater resource consumption is too high. quick.
First mate Alan once suggested that we should go to the nearby islands to find fresh water resources, because the sailors in Tulum followed my orders and did not replenish, but I think we should take advantage of the wind to reach Kingston quickly, I don’t have enough time, The lack of fresh water can only be filled with rum and ale.
I checked the cargo in the bottom bin and some of the meaty food was about to go bad and the potatoes had sprouts, so I ordered Chef Smith to increase the amount of food the sailors eat, but less salt, after all we have plenty of money in this area .
There was a commotion on the boat, a drunk sailor tried to harass Ms. Andrea with the guts, but even if Mickey stopped it and got five lashes, we might have been adrift at sea a little too long.
…
Gordon now spends most of his time in the captain’s cabin. After sailing for half a year, he is already disgusted by the stereotyped seawater. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, he will be used to it, not to mention that these seawater will cause the food he eats to deteriorate. Full of smell.
While they sailed to the Cayman Islands, and Andrea, accompanied by David, watched all kinds of novel birds and beasts on the deck, Gordon finally had some time to organize his thoughts.
Before that, Gordon never thought that his voyage was to stay in the captain’s room every day to plan the route and read the books about the records and legends of the sea, but now, he would rather leave the trivia of the voyage to Alan.
The legend of this world is not just fictitious, he has real elements, and Gordon wants to find something credible from these clues, because he begins to realize one thing, if he wants to get the governor of Kingston’s Seriously, it’s not enough to just bring Andrea back, which may be rewarded with a few hundred gold coins at most.
He is different from Ellenor. There are some families behind Ellenor who may not be as supportive as the Lannister family behind Andrea, but they at least have equal rights to dialogue.
But Gordon can’t do it. He is just a boy from a poor family. He was lucky enough to get a good ship, but this has nothing to do with the nobles. He is at most a merchant or half a pirate.
After a day of research, his only gain was the legend of the existence of alchemy on the African continent, capable of turning stones into gold.
“What kind of mess, the material structure is different, unless the gods do it themselves!”
All of this undoubtedly made him very irritable. Myths and legends may only have one percent of the spectrum. Yes, he did see something with a spectrum. It is said that William and Kidd buried their treasures on an island before they died. , and drew a treasure map.
If you want to find this treasure map by yourself, and then follow the treasures of William and Kidd, this probability is the same as winning the lottery.
In the end, he closed the book, then pushed open the door of the captain’s room and walked out. A black six-group beetle landed on the side of the ship and was thrown into the water by him.
“Evan, look at this!”
Andrea waved quickly when she saw him come out, and then pointed to the underside of the boat.
Several dolphins chased the school of fish to the vicinity of the Jackdaw, which surprised Andrea and attracted quite a few seagulls circling in the sky.
The white liquid bird droppings slid from the sky, either on the grey sails or dripping directly onto the deck.
“You **** bastards!”
The gulls’ actions forced them to re-sweep the deck, which infuriated the sailors and drew out their muskets.
boom!
The light and sound of the fire made the seagulls who had never seen the world panic, but they did not leave. The temptation of food made them ignore the danger.
The seabirds aimed at the target, then folded their wings and plunged into the water, and then brought back delicious swimming fish. Of course, not every bird can harvest food.
About a nautical mile in the distance is the Cayman Islands. There are some rudimentary docks on Grand Cayman, which should be enough to supplement food and fresh water, but it is also a pirate’s paradise, one of the bases of Blackbeard, and the complex terrain can help a lot. Pirates escape siege.
A gray sail flashed in the distance, and Gordon quickly took out his telescope, but all he saw was overlapping islands and reefs, as well as rocks.
“Lookouts, look over there in the Cayman Islands!”
Gordon ordered to the sailor who was watching from the mast.
“Good captain!”
“Did you see the boat?”
“There is a sailboat, the Dreadful Wee!”
They had dealt too much with the ship, the lookout had been through the battle at the mouth of the river, and the pirate ship who had easily recognized the big hull.
Spain did not recognize privateers, and after the failure of the El Dorado operation, the Templars directly abandoned the naive pirate captain, and the battleships belonging to the Spanish Navy opened fire mercilessly.
But a torrential rain saved him, and amid the thunder and lightning, the Dreadful Wee, dragged in flames, escaped from the range of the Spanish battleship’s artillery, and disappeared into the morning fog early the next morning.
The Dreadful Wee was severely damaged in two battles and suffered heavy loss of personnel. It took more than a month of repairs in the Cayman Islands to finally give the ship its original appearance, but there were only less than five crew members left. Ten people, barely able to drive the boat.
The Dreadful Weed, of course, also recognized this well-behaved ship in the naval battle, with the Union Jack dangling on it.
“Captain, it’s the Jackdaw.”
Wilson pulled out his binoculars, so far that he could even see Gordon’s face.
“Hang the white flag, let’s lean over.”
“Captain! We might be directly sunk like this. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
“I need a guide.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice for us to be pirates again and continue our old life? Gold, women, free sailing…”
“Enough, don’t talk to me about pirates, I’m going to make the pirates, the Templars of Spain, pay the price, and our brothers are more or less dead at their hands.”
Wilson was furious and directly picked up the collar of the first mate. The first mate he had trusted had died in the fire of the Spanish battleship.
The Terror Wee is a huge ship, but the sailors are pitiful, but on this sinister sea, Gordon did not relax his guard, but shouted loudly.
“Everyone fill up the cannonballs, grab your muskets, and get ready for battle! David, take Andrea back to the captain’s cabin.”
The sailors shouted, ran, and pushed the muzzle out of the ship’s side as the whistle sounded sharply and sharply.
