Chapter 215: A Journey in the Storm

Blue sky, white clouds, sandy beaches, clear water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you don't look at people, this is definitely a paradise on earth, and in the future it is the favorite vacation destination of countless people who are overwhelmed by the pressure of heavy work and life all day long.

Even if he promised to sit leisurely on the wooden stake on the pier at this moment, looking at the crystal blue water under his feet, squinting his eyes to feel the beautiful scenery in front of him and the slightly salty sea breeze. At this moment, he felt as if he was back on Lanai Island and spent a good time with Jessica.

However, when Jax Sparrow arrived at the docks with a team of men, all the good things that had been done were like broken mirrors.

The promise is to admire Captain Jack. Even in this chaotic land, it is not easy to find such a superb crew.

Let's look at the people who are. The one-eyed dragon, the mute who feeds the parrots, the short man who is as thin as a monkey, the old man with all the white hair and beard, the runaway black slaves, the lame and even the woman.

Xu Promise was very admired by Jack Sparrow's vision of choosing people, there were not many adventurers on Turtle Island, but he chose such a team of the best.

"I didn't pick these people." Faced with Xu Promise's doubtful and disdainful gaze, Jack Sparrow, who was the captain of the ship, explained in a low voice, "These people were all found by Gibbs, and I don't know them. ”

"Forget it." Promise turned his head to look at Elizabeth and Will not far away, "Just recruit enough sailors to sail the ship, and I don't expect these people to fight the undead souls on the Black Pearl." ”

This era has its own characteristics, and once you are really recruited to join the fleet, you are a member of the fleet. Unless they are driven out or rebel, they must obey the captain's orders until the expiration of the term.

Therefore, even the most down-to-earth adventurer will be very careful when choosing a ship. It is very difficult for ships of unknown origin, or for those who are clearly incompetent and unreputable, to recruit crews.

And the reason why these people were found was because Gibbs used the many treasures looted by the Black Pearl in the past ten years as bait.

Over the course of ten years, Barbossa took the Black Pearl on a crusade, plundering and killing everywhere, and robbing a huge amount of treasure. When Jax Sparrow approached Gibbs and asked him to recruit men, Gibbs threw the bait.

It's just that although wealth is good, you have to have a life to spend it.

In the past ten years, the Black Pearl's fame may have spread elsewhere, or even regarded as a myth. But in the circle of adventurers, in the circle of pirates, it is a real household name. The Black Pearl's strength and brutality discouraged almost everyone. No one has ever been able to escape the Black Pearl's attack.

It's not like no one has ever had the secret idea of the Black Pearl and those treasures before. It's just that no matter how many people and ships go, no matter how famous they are, there are many people. None of the people who went to trouble the Black Pearl came back. Under these circumstances, it was good that Gibbs was able to recruit such a group of people who had the courage to dare to get on board.

Sometimes, something is better than nothing.

Soon, Jax Sparrow ran over to give the best crew a pre-battle agitation, promising to share the treasure with everyone. At the same time, a gust of incense blew in, and Elizabeth and her personal protector Fawell came to Promise's side, with a mocking look on their faces, "Do you think that with these disabled people you will be able to fight against the Royal Navy?" These people may not even be able to raise the sails. ”

Xu Promise turned his head to look at the delicate English rose beside him, and smiled, "None of the people who have survived on this island until now are fuel-efficient lamps. Those who have no ability have long been swallowed up by people on this pirate island. These people don't talk about hoisting the sails, I guess they have no problem steering. ”

On a ship, steering is the most important profession. Generally, only the captain and first mate are able to steer.

His gaze changed, and he looked at Elizabeth with a look of disbelief. Xu Promise smiled and said, "Besides, I didn't think about letting them go into battle, as long as they could drive the ship well." ”

Jack Sparrow's eloquence is indeed very good, or rather, he is indeed very capable of fooling. After making a number of seemingly unfulfilled promises, the crew was all mobilized and joined the Interceptor. By the way, after the disembarkation, Jack Sparrow claimed to be the captain of the Interceptor, but promised to be noncommittal.

Promise is just a passerby in the mission world, and he doesn't care about any of that. After all, he himself did not have the ability and interest to become the captain of a sailboat.

"Look! British Navy warships spotted in the sea in the distance! With the newly recruited crew on board, the Interceptor was quickly sailed out of the harbor and headed for the island where the Black Pearl was hiding under Jack Sparrow's direction. But the ship had not gone far, and the sailors who were watching had already exclaimed loudly.

"It's coming pretty fast." Promise muttered under his breath, then stood next to the side of the ship.

It was indeed the huge Dreadnought and the entire fleet. The Dreadnought is perhaps the most powerful warship in the entire Caribbean. As the flagship of the British Navy in the region, the Dreadnought sank numerous ships of pirates and smugglers, which is the main reason why Norrington was able to rise from captain to commodore in so many years.

However, while the Dreadnought is powerful, it is slower. If nothing else, at least they can't catch up with the Black Pearl and the Interceptor.

"Full speed ahead!" As a captain, Jack Sparrow knows a lot about boat performance. He knew that the massive Dreadnought couldn't match the Interceptor in terms of speed. As such, he didn't care about the Dreadnought's pursuit.

Sure enough, although the Dreadnought had raised its full sails, it was moving farther and farther behind the Interceptor, and finally there was only a small dot left before the sun set over the sea.

It was night, and the sea was windy and thunderstormy. The rushing waves almost set off a huge wave almost ten meters high. The violent waves kept the Interceptor shaking like a toy in the wind and rain, and sometimes half of the ship was swallowed up by the snow-white waves.

"I knew it would be like this." Hiding in the cabin, Promise watched the sailors outside frantically and the waves through the glass, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "This damn curse." ”

Ever since he was cursed for the first time he came to this quest world, Promise has felt that something unlucky often happens to him when he acts. In the Doge's Palace, in the fortress, all here. Even in this notoriously violent sea, it is rare to encounter such violent storms.

"It's hard to believe." Also in the cabin that could shelter from the wind and rain was Elizabeth with the promise: "Even Will knows to go out to help, but you are here to hide from the wind and waves with me as a woman." Are you really a brave pirate? ”

"I fully admit the quality of bravery." Promise grabbed the handrail with one hand and fixed his body swaying with the ship in the wind and waves, and looked at Elizabeth, who was already pale, "But I am not a pirate in the full sense of the word. And, it's not that I don't want to go out, it's that I don't know what I can do when I go out. I've never worked on a sailboat. ”

In fact, the promise is just hypocrisy. How could his mind not know what he could do? And his physical fitness will play a huge role at this time. And the reason why he is reluctant to go out is purely because he wants to be lazy.

Elizabeth, of course, would not believe this. Holding back the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and nausea caused by the constant shaking of his body, he continued to make sarcastic promises, "You haven't worked on a sailboat?" God, are you a native of this place? Or did you actually swim to the Caribbean from Singapore? ”

"Miss Elizabeth." Xu raised his chin, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, "Why do you keep targeting me?" When you were in Port Royal before, you didn't need to take the initiative, but you ran out and saved me trouble. What is your purpose? Let me think about it......"

Xu Yu raised his hand and pinched his chin, and after a moment, a playful look flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that you are angry and want revenge because I saw your fruit in your room before?" Or was it that I didn't do anything after seeing your fruit, but just left your pride hurt, and wanted revenge? ”

"You bastard!" Elizabeth's pale face suddenly flushed, as if she was drunk.

Looking at the promise that looked at her with a strange expression, Elizabeth, who was ashamed in her heart, suddenly guarded herself from the handrail she had grabbed to resist the shaking of the violent waves, and rushed towards the promise, "I'm going to kill you!" ”

As the daughter of the governor, everyone in high society is beautiful. Elizabeth is a bit of an offbeat. She has good skills and even knows some swordsmanship. But that's the actual level. And it was the time when the waves were raging and the ship was rocking, and Elizabeth fell down the way without accident.

The sailing ships of this era were actually very small inside, and the Interceptor was not a big ship. There's not a lot of space in this cabin. Angry, Elizabeth pounced on her promise, but fell halfway through the boat as the ship rocked. Because of the close distance, he fell directly to the body of the promise.

At this time, the promise is naturally not rejected by those who come. Although he has no interest in this English rose, or he has no interest in all the golden cats. Xu subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then hugged Elizabeth, who had fallen.

Then, at this time, the door of the cabin was slammed open. Wiltner, whose head and face were covered in seawater, stumbled in. Then he saw the scene in front of him that broke his heart. (To be continued.) )
