354. Mysterious whereabouts
In a sense, I'm very envious of this guy Crisson. Anyway, he knew about his mother, and I still didn't know anything.
At the same time, I am glad that I was able to find clues when I first arrived in Venice. So my excitement Crisson is on par with, if not surpassing!
However, Su Wanting is dead and the immortal is gone, but Crisson's tears show that she is a good person, missed and remembered. It also made my heart feel a lot better.
If I had traveled all the way from East Asia to find out that she was a heinous villain, I would have felt even worse.
So, what I want to know more is - her sister, the daughter of the second uncle, should be considered my cousin, where is she?
I believe that this problem is not a problem for Krisson, time is the cure for everything, and after decades, there is nothing that cannot be faced, right?
But it turned out to be very scratching my head - Crisson was clearly frowning!
I couldn't help but wonder, could it be...... What's so hard to say about this?
Since I have identified myself and presented the golden seal of the viscount of the Ming Dynasty as proof, then Krisson is strictly my uncle. So he didn't have any taboos, and even felt a little excited and excited because his nephew was the Marquis of Mexico who was rumored outside.
Sitting at Krisson's house, sipping the black tea prepared for me by his wife and my "aunt", quietly waiting for Krisson to speak.
He seemed to think for a long time before he spoke slowly. Sonia, the daughter of Su Wanting, has a very hot temper and personality, and has been very naughty and active since she was a child.
When her mother was alive, there were still some people who controlled her, and she also restrained herself. But four years ago, after her mother died, she was no longer restrained.
Especially three years ago, after her stepfather died immediately after her mother, Sonia proposed that she want to go to sea, which made it difficult for her half-brother Krisson. This sister has covered herself since she was a child and cared for herself, how can she refuse this request now?
As a result, Crisson used his huge connections to open up all kinds of relationships for her, so that she had the safest sailing environment in the Mediterranean - after all, who wants to get along with the biggest financier in the Mediterranean?
But a year ago, there was really a person who couldn't get along with the gold owner, and that was the pirate Blackbeard!
It is said that Sonia's fleet encountered Blackbeard and has not been heard from from her since. Kerison has sent people to negotiate with Blackbeard many times, but all of them have been lost.
Later, Kerison hires a large fleet to hunt down Blackbeard for thousands of nautical miles, and Blackbeard has no choice but to say a word - she is fine, but she is not willing to go back in time.
Crisson didn't know if it was true or not, but his efforts were fruitless. Speaking of this, Crison stood up, pushed open the window, pointed to a group of warships at the dock and said, "Look, Qilan, I was about to organize the second encirclement and suppression against Blackbeard, and you came."
I stood up and looked out the window, and sure enough, the ships were all wearing a uniform logo, which was the logo of the Bank of Venice.
I sighed, patted Crisson on the shoulder, sat back in my chair, and muttered for a moment before asking, "What do you think......?" Is she still alive? ”
Christen was stunned for a moment before replying, "I don't know. I just wanted to do my best to confirm her news. Do you understand, Qilan? ”
I nodded, took the black tea and drank it down, and said with a cold smile: "If the news is indeed in Blackbeard's hands, then it is just right, I will let him tell me the actual situation!"
Kerrison was pleasantly surprised: "What? You also have a relationship with Blackbeard? ”
I smiled and said, "There is indeed a friendship." He chased me all the way when he came, and I was good friends with him! ”
Crisson was speechless for a moment before shaking his head and said, "Then what are you going to do?" He's not a good talker. ”
I sneered and said lightly: "Between death and opening, I believe he will make the right choice."
……
The next day, the nautical world of Venice was boiling! They received news that the Marquis of Mexico, who was in the limelight in the Mediterranean at this time, had issued a nirvana order against the pirate Blackbeard!
And if Blackbeard doesn't want to die, then a month later, take the initiative to come to London to confess the guilt, and if it expires, he will be killed!
Of course, if Blackbeard admits it, he will be shrunk in the Mediterranean Sea for the rest of his life, and he will be shrunk in the harbor for the rest of his life.
Blackbeard has been crisscrossing the Mediterranean for so many years, and no one has ever seen such contempt for his existence. But now someone is challenging it with such fanfare, no! It's a lore order, which is a shocking thing anyway!
And with the speed of information transmission in the Mediterranean, within three days, this news will definitely be known to everyone!
After doing this, I was ready to say goodbye to Krisson, but this guy was very affectionate, invited me to stay for another two days, and gave me a gold card before leaving, and if necessary, I could go to any branch of the Bank of Venice to overdraft 50,000 gold coins!
These 50,000 gold coins are nothing to me now, but I deeply feel a deep affection from them. This is the embodiment of Krisson's sorrow for his mother, and I am not pretentious, and I cherish it in my arms.
Leaving Venice, I hurried to London without stopping, and I must immediately organize my forces to prepare to exterminate Blackbeard and fulfill my promise to my second uncle.
I just felt like a fire was burning in my heart! But I also knew deeply that I must not mess with myself at this time, so I suppressed the agitation in my heart and silently waited for that day to come.
I'm sure Blackbeard will make a move – maybe not really in London, but he'll have something else to show his presence!
So I had to rush back immediately and plan ahead of time to really keep everything under control!
As soon as I arrived in Lisbon, I received the unrepentant news that he had not returned to London, but was waiting for me in Arcachon.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed to hear the news! This way, it can greatly reduce the time I spend laying out!
In my estimation, Blackbeard might take two approaches to this issue.
One is to ignore. He may be able to retreat to Algiers and ignore my order to kill. But from then on, he had to lose his reputation as a pirate and be a down-and-out pirate who was pointed at and poked everywhere.
The other is to sneak up on one of my properties. Most likely, it was to the New World, for example, symbolic raids near Mexico, but it must have been out of the Mediterranean.
Because I have no property in the Mediterranean, this also lays a good foundation for me to grasp his whereabouts and lay out the layout in advance.
So I decided to send out a clipper from now on and wait for Algiers twenty-four hours a day! As long as Blackbeard dares to come out, he will definitely let him come and go!
As for my main fleet, it stayed in Lisbon - the closest port to the Strait of Gibraltar that I could safely dock at, and definitely the best choice for sniping Blackbeard!
From this day on, I waited around the clock for Blackbeard to appear. I firmly believe that he will definitely appear!
In the days of waiting, Charlie and Halleha have given me good news that they have made significant progress in the development of a new rifle!
First of all, the purity of * has been greatly improved, and the intensity and expansion of the explosion have been greatly improved.
In the refining of steel, on the basis of greatly improving the tightness, the density of steel has been greatly improved! The barrel made of modern steel basically met my requirements, and the defect rate was very low.
And after several experiments, they have created a barrel that can already shoot as many as 2,000 times in a standard state!
And the bullet also made the long bullet I drew, bidding farewell to the history of round lead bullets.
However, since all the components are the best of the financial, material, and human resources, it is not possible to mass produce them.
Another big problem is *residue - because of the purity of the formula and raw materials, a certain amount of *slag will remain in the chamber after each shot, and if not handled properly, the chance of causing a chamber to explode is not low.
However, despite the existence of this or that problem, the first imitation * Springfield they made is still an epoch-making product!
With this gun, I almost couldn't put it down, especially after adding a homemade scope, I almost got back to the feeling of a sniper in my previous life!
Five shots went out, and five bottles shattered in response, causing a round of applause from the surroundings! After raising my hand to those around me, I gave this honor to Charlie and Halleha!
For this type of gun, I asked their research team to equip a small number of the most elite shooters on the basis of continuing to improve the technology!
Seeing that they could indeed create what I had envisioned, I had an idea and drew a prototype of * for them. With the foundation of the Springfield rifle, manufacturing * will be a process of doing more with less!
It's the first time, I mean the first time since I came into this world, and I'm going to be happy and happy because of an object. Not only because it is a high-quality weapon, but also because it holds memories of my past life.
I spent most of the rest of my days at the range in the northern suburbs of Lisbon, and I even felt a little intoxicated – the feeling of the recoil hitting my shoulder in a row was so wonderful that I couldn't resist firing more than 500 shots a day to put it down.
On the twenty-fifth day after leaving Venice, I suddenly received a tip-off that Blackbeard had left the port!
And as I expected, he was heading for the Strait of Gibraltar!
Pursing your lips and smiling slightly, you're finally here! Blackbeard!
Public or private, yesterday or today, I could not have spared this notorious pirate!
Of course, I will leave him with memories that will last a lifetime!
If only he were alive......
