Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 78
Hearing Gordon’s words, Jack was a little stunned, thought for a moment, then stared into Gordon’s eyes and said seriously: “I was born a pirate, and I am destined to be a pirate in the end, and becoming a pirate is not for the sake of Looting, but for indulgence, to enjoy the breath of incomparable freedom, to enjoy the absence of oppression, exploitation, and any high-sounding moral restraint, do you understand?”
When the world’s actions are governed by morals or laws, remember – all things are allowed.
This sentence flashed in Gordon’s mind, but he was thrown out of his mind. Assassin’s Creed is for justice, not for personal desires.
Gordon directly picked up Jack’s collar and roared loudly: “What about the innocent people you killed? What about the people who died in your raiding artillery? What are they? You answer me!”
“Hahaha!” Jack laughed abruptly. “It’s just poor people, poor people like us, why do you think so many people become pirates?”
This question made Gordon’s heart tremble, yes, why do so many people become pirates, a pirate who plunders on the sea, licks blood on the edge of a knife, and gets drunk in rum.
“why?”
Gordon’s tone began to soften, his hands began to relax a lot, and he began to think about this question.
According to Chinese history, whenever there are many grass-roots bandits, it is in troubled times, either due to drought caused by natural disasters, or under the rule of tyranny, from civilians to bandits, and finally rises up.
“When a person works hard but can’t get paid, when a person is oppressed but has no legal support, when the world is tilted towards the rich, then pirates are a Survival, many people become pirates simply because they have no way to survive…”
What else did Jack say after that, Gordon couldn’t hear it anymore. He suddenly looked at his hands. The hands that killed an unknown number of people were covered with blood, the blood of innocents.
“What’s wrong with this world? What’s right and what’s wrong?”
Gordon’s whole body is in chaos, he hates pirates because they loot, kill, rob other people’s money, but if it’s all because they don’t have a choice, but to survive, that hatred is again How to place it.
“Gordon, although I enjoy being a pirate, do you know how I became a pirate?”
Jack patted Gordon directly on the shoulder and woke him up from the edge of falling into an infinite loop.
“Free the slaves, everyone knows.”
Alan interjected. This is also the beginning of the legend of Captain Jack. Jack picked up his black pearl from the abyss and started his pirate career.
“The black slave trade carried out by the East India Company traded human beings as livestock. Because of the huge benefits, the African continent continued to attack, plundering the population of other tribes and selling them as black slaves. Gordon, I have seen that with my own eyes. The tragic scene, the most tragic thing is that this slave hunting war was actually started by these black tribes, and this is the benefit.”
Of course Gordon knew about these things. He did this when he destroyed the Loren. If he was caught by the East India Company, he would most likely be beaten as a pirate. As long as he landed in the port, he would be caught and then hanged. risk of death.
Gordon sighed, even in this era when a lot of wealth flowed to Europe, the savage side is still emerging, and the flame of civilization is still far away.
“I understand.”
He was a little disappointed. When a person’s worldview completely collapsed, he was always a little dazed. There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. of rulers, and against countless people.
Jack smiled at Gordon, and then an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that the seeds of another pirate had begun to germinate, and it might even affect more people.
Coolidge can’t even draw his eyelids out. The pirate captain in front of him is really deceiving, but he can’t deny that this world is so realistic.
Gordon was smoking a cigarette alone, leaning on the side of the ship, looking at the blue sea in the distance, his heart was really complicated, and he didn’t know how to place it. No matter what Gordon said, he was only a 20-year-old boy. Can’t get used to this somewhat cruel and real world.
Mickey looked at Gordon with some worry, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but he was directly stopped by Coolidge: “Let him think about it and figure it out.”
Gordon slowly finished a cigar, and an hour passed without anyone bothering him, and the sailors all went about their business in silence, wiping the deck and reinforcing what had been a simple repair before.
“If the world is so dark, then change him.”
Gordon expressed such emotion, and his goal has finally sublimated from just making money, then eating and waiting to die to a certain level.
“Writing a book called “Gordon Thought”? This seems like a good idea.”
He walked to Jack’s side again: “These are too far away, Jack, borrow your compass.”
Jack didn’t hesitate and handed the compass to Gordon directly.
As long as you know that the Elizabeth is divided into two sections~www.mtlnovel.com~, you can find the lost position of the stern part through the compass.
He meditated on the stern of the Elizabeth in his mind, and turned on the compass.
The compass rotated, and then began to point further north, but this direction was diagonally downward, not far from this large reef.
He threw the compass to Jack again, and then shouted loudly: “The sailors have set sail and found the treasure. This is our first step in changing the world. Raise the anchor and raise the sail!”
“Yes Captain!”
Seeing their energetic captain come back, the sailors are also full of energy again. In this era, the captain is the soul of a ship and the mind of a ship.
The Jackdaw set sail again, heading south to get out of this narrow channel first.
When they got to the exit, the Black Pearl had already turned on all the guns on the side of the ship and aimed them at them. They didn’t fire, but forced them to slow down.
“Gordon, I went back and talked to them!”
After speaking, Jack jumped into the water and headed towards the Black Pearl.
Gibbs dropped the rope and pulled it up.
“Jack? Where’s the treasure?”
Jack stretched his waist: “I didn’t find it, we’re going to the next target, if as expected, there should be a big gain.”
“Then we…”
Gibbs raised his eyebrows and gestured to the opposite Jackdaw, then made a gesture of wiping his neck.
But Jack laughed: “Gibbs, the operation has been cancelled. If nothing is expected, the next great pirate ship captain will be born.”
Gibbs looked at Jack, who had returned to the rudder position, full of puzzlement, but he could only do as he did, and began to call on the sailors to cancel the refilling of the shells and take out all the gunpowder.
