Chapter 242: Arrival in Nassau
As the night passed, Amami Shu walked out of the captain's room, looked up at the lookout, and found that Hakuya was still on it. Remember that the eagle should play as if it is sleeping standing up, and you should not have to worry about whether it sleeps well or not.
Before he could reach the stern rudder, Amami heard Adéwal talking to Edward about the situation on the ship. This is also lacking, and that is also lacking, the hull will not work here or there. There is no way to solve these things now, and we can only wait until Nassau to discuss the supply and modification of the ship.
……
The Bahamas is Nassau, a pirate's paradise, where several powerful pirate groups founded a pirate republic.
Edward sailed from Havana to Nassau in the Jackdaw, which had been changed from Gold to Jackdaw. In Havana, there are several crucial figures here, Benjamin, James Kidd, Blackbeard Edward Thatch.
Although he didn't have the title of Blackbeard at this time.
In the tavern of Nassau, Benjamin was leaning on the railing when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Oh my God, I almost don't even recognize you." He looked at Edward in surprise and invited him to "Come in and have a drink." ”
Naturally, Edward would not refuse, after all, he had also come to find a few of his old friends.
"Yo, Kenway."
In addition to Benjamin in the bar, the future Blackbeard Thatch is also here. He looked curiously at the two men standing beside Edward. A black man, and a yellow-skinned man.
"These two are your crew?"
"Adéwale, this is the quartermaster of the Jackdaw." Edward gestured to Adéwal next to him, but when it was his turn to introduce Amami, Edward really didn't know how to speak. Is this guy a crew member on his own ship?
Seeing that Edward didn't know what to say, Tianjian Xiu could only take a step forward and introduce himself: "Xiu." An explorer. ”
Explorer of ghosts. Edward scoffed at Amami's self-introduction. But he can't be exposed.
Several people nodded to each other, and they knew each other.
"Jackdaw? You gave your boat a bird name? ”
The Jackdaw's name drew a mockery from Thatch, and Benjamin laughed alongside. Edward said that if these two guys were not his old friends for many years, he would definitely go up and give them two punches.
The kind that slaps you in the face.
Not wanting to bother with the ship's name, Edward diverted the subject.
"It's all my allies, Benjamin Hornigold, Edward Thatch, James Kidd."
After some introduction, Adéwal left the tavern. Amami looked at James Kidd, who was sitting by the door of the tavern.
Amami Shu, who has played the game, knows that this James Kidd is pure, and the so-called illegitimate son of William Kidd is naturally. The man's name was Mary Reed, a member of the Assassin Brotherhood. The reason why she came up with such an identity and name is just to match her pirate career.
It's better not to expose it, and she needs to take Edward to the brotherhood's den.
"You let your crew wear firearms?" Benjamin looked at Adéwale, who was far away, and reminded Edward on the side.
"It won't be a problem." Edward motioned for Benjamin to reassure.
Adéwalé was indeed a very loyal man, if Edward hadn't been as money-conscious as he had in the original book.
After a few glasses of rum, Edward began to ask them about the Observatory. Both Thatch and Benjamin said they had not heard of this thing, or the place. But James Kidd, who had been sitting by the door, had a bright eye. As a member of the Brotherhood, he should have heard of something about the Pieces of Eden. Moreover, the recent frequent battles between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar are precisely because of this [Observatory].
I just don't know if he really believes in the existence of the [Observatory], or if she has simply heard the legend of the [Observatory]. At least in her words, she didn't say it explicitly.
"I've heard of this [observatory], it's a very old legend, just like the legendary Land of Gold and the Fountain of Youth."
She was the second person in the audience to know the name [Observatory] except for Osamu Amami. So Edward invited the 'Mr. James Kidd' to sit next to him. He took out the picture he had stolen from the Doge's Palace, and drew the one at the core of the Observatory. Truth be told, Edward stole the most useless of those paintings. But at least it gave Edward an idea of what an observatory was.
"What else do you know?"
"Some say it's a temple, some say it's a tomb, hiding some unknown treasure."
Thatch drank a glass of wine and listened to the topic they discussed, looking at the drawing with something they didn't know what it was.
"God, do you believe in fairy tales?"
Rather than the ethereal legends, Thatch preferred more practical things, such as a large chest of gold.
"That's not a call story, Thatch." But Edward believed in the Observatory, and he believed in it. I also believe that it will definitely be able to sell for a big price. Although he also knew that Thatch and Benjamin should not go with him to find the thing, he persuaded anyway.
"There's a lot more money in it than in it to rob any Spanish ship."
Benjamin patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "It's our way of life to rob the king's fleet to help the poor, boy. ”
But the poor man may be referring to themselves.
"[The Observatory] is not a treasure, it's just a fantasy."
They didn't believe what they said, so they put the picture away.
Giving up the topic for the time being, a few people sat down and started talking about pirates, while Amami Shu sat on the side and listened quietly.
"Two weeks ago, there was a Royal Navy ship patrolling here, and the sailors were making it look like this was their territory."
"Looks like they're eyeing this too......"
Benjamin suddenly straightened up and said, "Kenway, you are now a captain, so I will teach you how to plunder ships and how to plunder resources tomorrow." ”
……
Several people drank from noon to night, Thatch and Benjamin were gone, and James Kidd had left in the afternoon. Now there are only two people left on the wine table, Amami Shu and Edward.
"I'm not going with you tomorrow." Amami Shu said.
"What's wrong?" Edward was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would not sail with him after seeing the cultivation. After knowing each other for so long, Edward still likes Amami Shu's friend. And when snatching the Jackdaw, Amami Shu also exerted a lot of strength. Leaving Havana and rushing out of mad dog waves and tornadoes is also the help of Tenmi Shu. Despite his status as an Assassin Brotherhood, he has always been jealous.
After all, his Brotherhood of Assassins was also looking for an Observatory.
"I'll leave the plunder to you, I'm not a pirate, and I'm not interested in Honigel's teachings." After a pause, Amami Xiu said again: "After you come back from plundering, I will have to take your boat." ”
The reason why I didn't go with Edward was because Amamishu had some tasks to solve. Still looking for something.
