0316 Legacy of the Heartless
"We decided to come to the New World in '78 because England and France were fighting too the Spanish route."
In front of the thatched hut in the night, the old men on the Artis Beauty gathered together, and Leif stirred the fire in front of him, and looked tenderly at the Indian women who were busy in and out of the house.
"You know, the North Sea is a little fishing pond. We drift at sea, and the main profit is the expensive transshipment from the Spanish route, where the North Sea income will not be able to feed the crew. ”
Listening to his eloquent narration, Lorraine couldn't help but recall the bloody storms of Cantabrian.
It was his most risky war, and he risked almost everything to get a narrow victory from Veron, but it also laid the foundation for the smooth and rapid development of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.
"We went west from the High Latitudes, through Iceland, along the coastline of Greenland. Because it was the height of summer, the route was full of ice floes and storms, and we had no charts, so we dodged the risks along the way and drifted to the coastline of Baffin Island before we knew it. ”
"We drifted away and heard news in a small fishing port about the grave of a Viking ship in the Hudson Strait."
"The people there claimed to be descendants of Harald the Heartless, and after the last Vikings died in Britain, some of the remnants of the Viking faith were unwilling to return to God-believing Norway, and fled to Baffin Island with the remains of the king in their longships."
"They used torches and pickaxes to dig deep tunnels in the frozen ground for thousands of years, and buried in the holes the kings they had served for generations and the longships of their lives."
Lef's expression began to blur.
"We went to explore the Viking Ship Grave, which was very deep, very cold, full of landslides and frozen ground, with ice crevasses and crevasses everywhere."
"We died more than forty people, explored the tunnels for three days, and finally came to the ship's grave, where we found Harald's sword and shield."
"From that day on, Bonet and I were convinced that we were blessed by our ancestors. Odin was showing us the way, and Valkyrie rode the glittering Bergasus ahead of us. ”
"SuperStar Gemini made its way to the Caribbean along the coastline of North America, and we quickly made a name for ourselves, fighting Blackbeard and Cottonjack."
"It was then that the imprint Mansfield II was sunk by the British. Someone sends his token back to Turtle Island, the Maritime Brotherhood chooses a new candidate, and we become rivals with a woman and a sinister villain. ”
Leif spat disdainfully.
"Victory is destined to be ours, and we have only one problem, and that is that the Brotherhood of the Sea believes that the title of the Pirate King has never been given to two people, and Bonet and I need to separate priorities."
This is also a question that the Gemini Star has debated for a long time. The sword and shield of the Merciless can only be inherited by one person, the same as the Pirate King's honorific title, so we must decide who is the captain of the Twins! ”
He stopped, gasping for air, his eyes getting redder and his breathing heavier.
Without warning, Lorraine jumped up and kicked Leif over the fire, and before Leif could land, Henna flashed behind him, carrying a bucket and clattering it over his head.
Carmen, who was traveling with her, was stunned to see the changes in front of her, and the Indian woman who was busy coming in and out was trembling in front of the thatched hut with her child.
Lorraine and Henna both looked solemn, and Pierce even drew his short gun and aimed at Leif motionlessly.
Carmen was stunned and pleaded for knowledge: "You ...... He? ”
Leif shuddered, got up with his fingers, and plucked the bucket from his head, picking off the two fallen leaves that had been stuck to his head along the way.
"Drake, I'm going crazy again?"
"Almost." Lorraine let out a long sigh of relief, picked up a bottle of rum and tossed it to Leif, "Damn, I didn't even bring a weapon today." If you really go berserk, I won't be able to control you at all except to kill you! ”
"Uh......" Leif laughed innocently, "I haven't gone crazy in over a year since I married Jaikali......"
Lorraine's face was as black as charcoal: "What happened between you and Bonet, that the memories alone can make you go crazy?" ”
"Bonit......" Leif grunted down an entire bottle of wine, "I thought he was a proud Viking warrior, but I didn't expect that he, like Loki, was just a despicable villain who had infiltrated Asgard!" ”
He stood up with a red face, went into the hut, took out a wooden stick with an iron end and threw it far away to Lorraine.
"SuperStar Gemini had to decide the only captain, but the crew was very divided. Bonet and I each have supporters, the people who support me think I'm stronger and braver, and the people who support Bonet think he has more brains and can make us live better. ”
"The Vikings had only one solution to the conflict, the Blood Ship. Even though we are brothers, for the sake of the legacy of the Ruthless and the reputation of the Pirate King, we have decided to die or die. ”
"Bonit defiled this sacred duel. We were both bruised and bruised by the time, and I went into madness before he did. Bonet moved on the hilt of my axe, and in the moment I went into a frenzy, he severed my axe. ”
Hearing this, Lorraine frowned and looked at the wooden stick in his hand.
It was Lef's axe handle, with a smooth edge at the fracture and a stubble in the center, with obvious signs of hands and feet.
"Is this really what Bonet did?"
"There is no one else but him!"
Leif took a deep breath and hugged his wife and son with his backhand, trying to calm himself down.
"He thought I was dead. I fell from the bloodboat into the water, with the handle of my axe strapped to my hand, drifting and sinking among the sharks. ”
"But the sharks didn't take me for food. I was swept by the tide to the island of Providencia, the closest to the bloodship, and was picked up by Jacari, who not only survived, but also married Geccarly, adopted her children, and worked as a fisherman and father on the island for more than a year. ”
"That's my story." Leif laughed to himself, "The proud Vikings became fishermen, no different from our ancestors." ”
"What about you, Drake? I saw your fleet, and it seems that you have been doing well for the past few years. ”
The topic suddenly turned to herself, and Lorraine scratched her nose in embarrassment.
"My experience ......," he pondered, "doing business, robbing ships, robbing ships, doing business, although the process is not boring, but I think you are not very interested." ”
"Tell me what interests you." Lorraine tossed the axe back to Leif, "In January I announced that I had joined the race for the Pirate of the Caribbean, and in February I took Cottonjack's lair, Bimini. Now I have two tokens of the Pirate King, both left by Mansfield II. So in a way, I'm Bonett's enemy. ”
Leif blinked twice dumbfoundedly: "That woman and that sinister villain......"
"The woman is working for me, and the insidious villain has gone to the island, the desert island."
"So you're definitely going to fight Bonett?"
"Actually, I'm not too interested in the token in his hand, but he probably doesn't think so." Lorraine shrugged, "During the capture of Cottonjack's lair, I heard that Cottonjack went to find Bonett, and if nothing else, they have formed an alliance to defeat Drake......"
"Drake!" Leif strode up to Lorraine and looked straight at him like a mountain, "You're a Viking, and I'm a Viking too...... Let me get on your ship and give me a chance to regain my glory! ”
