Chapter 514: The Greatest Pirate King of the Middle Ages: Hayreddin
In the old man's smile, it seemed treacherous and deep, but there was a strange pride and calmness, which made Zheng Fei wonder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Do you really think that you can be invulnerable if you obey the Fountain of Youth?" the old man sneered, his eyebrows twisted slightly: "That's just a lie I made up to deceive people, if I want to dominate that group of people, I have to give them some benefits, and their only desire is revenge to destroy the Europeans." ā
After listening to his words, Zheng Fei felt relieved and a little regretful at the same time, thinking about it, if this was true, let the invincible Spartan warriors obey the Fountain of Youth...
"What is the actual effect of the Fountain of Youth?" Zheng Fei asked.
"According to the Legend of Alexander the Great, it can only stay young forever, so that those who drink it are alive every day, and for me, that is enough. ā
As soon as the words fell, probably feeling unwell, the old man coughed lightly twice, and his rickety body trembled slightly.
At his age, he will understand that youth and health are the most valuable assets.
Young Zheng Fei still doesn't understand the value of youth, but he knows how precious life is, even if the legendary Fountain of Immortality can only make people live for ten or eight more years, it is still worth finding.
Moreover, he discovers more and more that this world is far more mysterious than he imagined, the Victory blueprints, Merlin, Mona, the mysterious dreamer who guides the old man, the extraordinary ability to foresee the future and perceive the world... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway.
What reason is there to be sure that the Fountain of Youthfulness is fake?
Thinking of this, Zheng Fei couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, took a deep breath happily, stared at the quiet sea level in the distance, and slowly exhaled.
"Hey, I always feel like there's something over there. The old man said indifferently, as if talking to himself, and his old face was written with endless unwillingness.
"Which side?"
"On the other side of the sea, even though I haven't seen the mainland for half a year, I always feel that there is a wider land there. ā
The old man looked up at the west, in the direction of the New World of America, and was stunned.
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows and did not respond.
Sailing, in fact, is a very risky gamble, and those who discover new things can get endless glory and wealth, and will always be remembered by history.
The loser will waste time and energy in vain, or be buried in the ocean in a shipwreck, and become a delicious meal for marine creatures.
Successful people are always a very small minority, and people often mistakenly think that this line of work is very easy to succeed because they have never heard the name of the loser. Losers have no name, and the reality is so cruel.
In this game where lives are at stake, all players are brave and well-deserved, they are different people with different expectations, some are poor and want to change their circumstances through sailing, and some are rich and want to make themselves more powerful.
As for Zheng Fei, this guy is open.
"You say, do I feel right?" After a long time, the old man finally broke the silence.
"Hmm. Zheng Fei bowed his head and smiled.
"So you really know where that land is?" the old man's eyes suddenly brightened, and surprise flickered.
"You tell me all about the Fountain of Youth, and I'll take you there. ā
"Oh, what a cunning man... But why should I believe that you won't take over the Fountain of Youth?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Fei shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly: "You are worried that I will swallow the Fountain of Immortality alone, and I am also afraid that you will tell the world the secret of the Fountain of Youth, I don't want to be the enemy of the whole world." So, you don't have to worry at all. ā
Hearing this, the old man quietly stared into his eyes, confronted him for a while, and curled the corners of his mouth: "To tell the truth, you are a smart person." ā
"I prefer to be smart... Sagacious. Zheng Fei nodded solemnly.
"Haha, you are not only smart but also have a good sense of humor, what a rare young man. ā
After smiling heartily, the old man stood on the edge of the sea cliff on crutches, and finally looked at the distant horizon, and gradually eased his thoughts.
"If you want to know the secret of the Fountain of Youth, come with me. He tilted his head and walked away.
Leave the sea cliffs and come to a castle made of stone.
At best, it is a castle, but at best it is just a large house, with many bookshelves in it, full of books, storing all the old man's life and harvest.
The smell of paper books fills the room, making it feel very quiet inside, and it is a world away from this Alcatraz Island.
The old man slowly swayed to the desk on crutches, took out a pen and a large stack of parchment, and began to write without saying a word, at this time he was extremely focused.
"Well, there may be some things that I can't remember when I'm older, so please don't rush me. He said with a smile, relying on the memories of "The Legend of Alexander the Great" in his mind, combined with other books and materials about the Fountain of Youth, through the tip of the pen dipped in ink to let them fall little by little on the paper.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Zheng Fei found a stool and sat down, took out the wine jug and drank it unhurriedly.
"This wine is so fragrant, can you let me taste it?"
"Of course. Zheng Fei answered, but stretched out his hand to Santiago next to him, and motioned for the fat man to hand over the wine jug.
Santiago untied the flask with an aggrieved face, made a threatening face to Zheng Fei, and then obediently served it.
The old man happily took a sip, and his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Oh, what a good wine, if I guessed correctly, it should come from Scotland, where I drank it when I was young." ā
He smacked his lips, and since there were many key points to recall and not to be greedy, he put the flask down.
Picking up the pen again, frowning and contemplating for a while, he exhaled helplessly.
"There's a place I can't remember for a while, so let's talk to me, maybe I'll be able to remember. He pouted.
"Then what are you talking about?" and an old man in his seventies and eighties, Zheng Fei really couldn't find any topic, could it be difficult to tell him an adventure story? ha~
"Well, I've known you for so long, and I haven't asked your name yet. ā
"It's been a long, long time since anyone has called me by my name, they all call me Captain. ā
"Well, Captain, my name is Hyreddin. The old man held out his hand in a friendly manner.
Hayreddin!
In an instant, Zheng Fei froze petrified, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he re-examined the person in front of him.
Why? Because his name is Hayreddin, and Zheng Fei is too familiar with this name, the greatest pirate king of the Middle Ages.
Hareddin's life was a hero's life, and although he was a pirate, he always believed in the truth. He plundered the ships of Christian nations, and in order to defend his country, he fought his enemies on the seas all his life, and was never defeated.
He made the times remember the name: Hayreddin.
What he created was an era of great pirates.
However, the old man in front of him had achieved nothing in his life, and was born decades before Hyreddin...
Do you have the same name and surname? maybe...
However, another possibility cannot be ruled out.
