Chapter 34: The Captain's Memories (Part II)

One day, the ship Kidd returned from a long march and docked the Black Pearl in a small harbor called "Byting" in the west of Europe, ready to repair on land for a few days.

Walking to the beach, he saw several people arguing.

"You can't buy it! It's so pitiful, it has to go back to the sea. A young girl ran up and hugged a dolphin lying in the boat. It was a pink dolphin with some droplets of water hanging from the corners of its eyes, glittering in the sunlight, like the tears of a dolphin crying.

"Look, it's crying!" The girl lay on the dolphin, her long flaxen-colored hair spread out on the dolphin, as if caressing its waves, and the dolphin moved its fins and screamed twice.

"That's not going to work, it's a rare pink dolphin, I'm going to buy it back." A rich man dressed as a businessman said.

"30 pounds, do you think it's okay?" The old man standing next to him said that he was the fisherman who caught the dolphin.

"Grandpa, don't you sell it to him, okay? I'll go back to my dad right away and ask for money, sell it to me!" The girl pleaded bitterly.

"This ...... Won't I go to sea soon......" The old fisherman didn't know what to do.

"Don't pay attention to this little girl, I paid the money first, and I bought the dolphin." The merchant pulled out his wallet and counted the money.

"Don't do that, my father is ......" The girl was anxious and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

"This dolphin, I want it!" A man suddenly approached and shoved a few gold coins into the old fisherman's hand.

The girl turned her head and looked at the man who had come suddenly. He was tall, strong and powerful, with dark skin, sexy chest hair on his bare chest, twisted and unruly black hair like waves on the sea, and a pair of eyes in his deep eye sockets that would be so bright and focused that anyone's eyes would be drawn to it.

"Girl, dolphins don't cry, it's you who cry." Captain Kidd reached out and gently brushed the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes.

Captain Kidd stood on the beach and watched as the dolphins returned to the sea danced happily on the surface, splashing and spreading the warm sun into colorful ribbons that filled the sand. He remembered that when he was a child, his father always took him to the beach to watch the sea, and his father once said: "Don't always hold a grudge against the sea when it is angry, it is when it calms down is its true face." ”

"Thank you!" The girl standing next to her smiled, her long flaxen-colored hair seemed to be plated with a layer of golden sand in the sun, and her long eyelashes blinked, unable to cover her beautiful royal blue eyes.

"My name is Tess Artio. She was the daughter of the lord of the city-state of Byting. ”

Captain Kidd suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and he noticed that this beautiful city lord's daughter actually looked a little like his mother. The hatred of his mother ignited again, and he clenched his fists as if he were clenching his heart. He hated women, especially beautiful women.

"What's wrong with you?" A voice rang in Captain Kidd's ears, and he felt something gentle grasp his clenched fist, and a warm current slowly rose, and he unconsciously loosened his frowning brow.

"Come, I'll take you to a fun place." Tess took the pirate's hand and led him to run on the beach. Captain Kidd felt dizzy, like he was drunk. He sniffled, as if he had smelled something good, floral, fruity. This rare breath on the sea deeply attracted him and made him intoxicated.

Tess takes Captain Kidd to a cliff where she says she can see the town at its best.

The gentle sunlight shines on the sea, like a wheat field harvested in autumn. The seaside town is bathed in gold, and the tranquility is frozen in the gentle reflection on the walls. The blue and red roofs that dotted the white-walled city center, the fishermen returning from fishing, the women drying their bedding, and even the rude pirates drinking in the taverns, everyone became one with the little city, like a warm oil painting, resting in the golden sand.

"When you're calm, that's what it's really like." Captain Kidd muttered to himself.

……

For many days after that, Captain Kidd would come to the little cliff to watch the tiny city-state with Tess. He was like a sailor who was tired of the wind and rain and wanted to find a warm harbor to stay in permanently. Many times he wondered why his father didn't stay with him and his mother forever, in a warm harbor, say goodbye to the angry sea, and spend the rest of his life enjoying its beauty when it was calm.

He was only going to stay in Byttin for a week, but a month had passed. He gradually fell in love with life in the small town, and even thought about never leaving, saying goodbye to the sea, to the artillery, to the treasure.

In fact, Captain Kidd's sailors know that the captain is not in love with the life of the town, but with the daughter of the lord of the town, Tess Artio. Some stayed behind and continued to follow the captain, while others chose to leave and board other sailing ships.

Finally, one day, Captain Kidd decides to stay, and he asks Tess to take him to her father, wanting to tell the lord that he wants to marry his daughter.

The lord of the castle was a peaceful old man, and he did not ask about Kidd's background, but praised his strong body and well-informed intellect. He said that he was old and sick, and that he might soon be no longer able to take up the position of lord of the city, and that he must pass on the position of lord to his daughter. But her daughter is only 19 years old, and it is still difficult for her to lead the entire city-state, hoping to find a good son-in-law for her to take care of her.

The lord of the castle and Kidd had a good conversation, and their words revealed that they wanted to marry their daughter to him. Kidd was also very happy, and told her love for Tess in front of the city lord, and Tess blushed like an apple.

In the middle of the conversation, the old lord proposes to drink for fun, and he asks Tess to pour Kidd a drink. Looking at his future wife's gentle smile, Kidd felt extremely happy, and he happily drained the glass of wine.

He and the old city lord drank cup by cup, I don't know how much. Until the end of the dazed and drunk.

By the time Kidd woke up, there was a red sun hanging outside the window, and I don't know how long it had been. He found himself chained to a chair, with no strength in his body, as if his meridians had been drained.

A sharp pain came from his face, giving him a splitting headache. Several huge cuts had been made in his otherwise handsome face with a sharp knife, and hot blood flowed into his mouth, which was extremely salty.

"I added the venom from the sea Jiao scales to the wine, so you don't have to struggle." The smile on the old city lord's face had long since disappeared, and the wrinkles on those faces no longer looked peaceful, but disgusting maggots.

"Kidd the Great Pirate! Do you think my daughter will marry such an ugly and despicable villain as you? The lord of the castle walked up to him, grabbed him by the hair, lifted his face, and patted it with his hand.

"Look at what you look like now! How many handsome sons of princes and nobles have sent people to me to propose marriage, do you think my daughter will like an ugly bastard. The city lord said.

"I've noticed you since your ship came to our harbor, and the Royal Navy has issued a bounty order for you. You can exchange your head for 10 million gold pounds and 100 nautical miles offshore of regional jurisdiction. But I'll give you a chance, tell me where your treasure is buried, and I'll spare you death. ”

"I have no treasure, I have nothing." Kidd shook his head, his heart dead to ashes. He had left everything behind, leaving only his newly awakened heart to live in this city, but now it was as if it had been dug up.

"How is that possible? You can't fool me, what about the treasure of the great pirate Blackbeard that you killed? What about the treasure of the Rose Pirates that you destroyed in the South Seas? Didn't you plunder a royal merchant ship a year ago? The city lord slyly listed the souls of Kidd's men one by one.

"Money? That's all bullshit! I discarded all that garbage in the sea. Captain Kidd spat out.

"If you don't want to say yes, that's fine," the city lord took out a conch from his bosom, which was none other than Captain Kidd's Nine Nether Snails, "tell me how to use this artifact." ”

The Lord promised that if Kidd told him how to use the Nine Wraiths, he would let Kidd and the Black Pearl leave the harbor.

It turned out that the lord of the city had also studied witchcraft, and he had heard about this treasure in Captain Kidd's hand for a long time, and now that he got it, he couldn't wait to harness it.

Man is a sword, I am a fish, and Kidd has to come up with a way to escape. He truthfully taught the city lord the urging method of the Nine Nether Snails.

The lord of the city took the conch to his mouth suspiciously, and according to the method that Kidd had said, he drove the magic power to blow the conch. A big bubble blew out from the Nine Nether Conch, but the magic power driven by the city lord was not enough, and the flickering sea of stars on the bubble was very sparse.

Kidd grabbed the opportunity and jerked his head forward, sucking his chair into the bubble.

The bubbles blown by the conch can be killed with pressure, but the sea of stars on the surface of the bubbles blown by people with less magic power is very sparse, and the pressure inside the bubbles is relatively small, as long as the body is strong enough, even if you stay in it for a while, you will not die immediately.

The pressure in the bubble crushed the chair behind Kidd and set him free. But after drinking the poisoned wine, Kidd's body was still weak and weak. When the bubble burst and he came out of it, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he was slightly hideous.

The City Lord and the City Lord's guards had only heard that the bubbles blown by the Nine Nether Conch could kill, and they had never heard of anyone who could come out of it alive without being crushed to death by the pressure in the bubbles. They were all stunned, looking at Kidd, who had been loosened, like looking at a demon who had lost his restraints, and did not dare to step forward.

"The human heart is the same as the sea, there is no silence, only hideousness; There is no goodwill, only deception. When I conquer the seven seas, I will surely come back to destroy the hearts of the wicked! ”

Kidd snatched back the Nine Nether Snails from the City Lord's hand, threw down such a sentence, and left angrily with a heart that had been deceived and dripping blood.

Since then, Kidd has reverted back to Captain Kidd, and the Black Pearl, which was supposed to anchor in the harbor forever, has sailed away and never returned.

The name that had disappeared for a long time reappeared on Nanami, and this time it was even more terrifying. Captain Kidd becomes a murderer who takes pleasure in killing people and uses them to vent his hatred.

From then on, only sailors with 13 ribs on their left chest were recruited on his ship, and every new sailor had to listen to Captain Kidd tell a story about Adam and Eve.

Adam was the first human being created by God. Later, God created the woman Eve from a rib on Adam's left breast and married them to live together in the happy Garden of Eden. Later, however, Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit and let Adam eat it. When God found out, He punished Adam and Eve by expelling them from the Garden of Eden and never returning.

Captain Kidd claimed to be a descendant of God because, like Adam, he had a 13th rib on his left chest. He hated women and saw them as the source of evil, the embodiment of lies and deception.

Cold-blooded, he is more terrifying than ever, invincible above the sea. Wherever the ribbed skull's flag floats over, all of them will usher in a bloody storm.

Fearing that Kidd would one day come back to settle accounts with him, the lord of Byttin made up some lies about how Captain Kidd violently assaulted his daughter, and came to the Wizarding Guild to ask for the help of the Grand Wizard.

The Wizards' Guild has also received a request for help from the Royal Navy, hoping that they will help to deal with this sea demon.

With the support of the major powers, the Wizarding Guild eventually sent the Grand Wizard Dolphman to accompany the Royal Navy to carry out a large-scale siege of Captain Kidd on the sea.

At that time, the Grand Wizard Dolphman was already one of the most powerful wizards in the Wizarding Association, and he was extremely powerful and participated in many epic battles. But this time against Captain Kidd, it felt like he had met a real rival.

Captain Kidd used the Nine Nether Conches to unleash a monstrous wave that flooded the heavens and the earth, and the blow out of the conch was no longer a simple bubble, but a kind of "phantom membrane" full of magical power. This canopy can be so large that it can cover an entire three-masted galleon, creating a huge pressure vortex that has no destructive power like no other, and shatters the navy's fleet.

After a three-day stalemate with Captain Kidd, Grand Wizard Dolphman had to use the Forbidden Wizard Realm to use a giant gray-black orb on his staff as a medium to open the seal space controlled by the Lich, sealing Captain Kidd and Endless Storm in the orb.

In this gray-black membrane, storms and showers will never stop, and countless disasters will ravage Captain Kidd and his sailors. Let them become skeletons living forever in the wrath of the sea, without a soul and only a shell.

For 300 years, Captain Kidd has known the sea very well, and he knows that anger and viciousness are what it is.
