Chapter 250: Kingston Island
After the battle, Amami and Edward returned to Nassau, Bahamas, aboard the Jackdaw.
In the tavern of Nassau, there are two pirates from afar, Charles Vane and Jack Rackham. The two men appeared in front of everyone angrily, and despised the place of Nassau as if it were a slum kiln.
"It's better not to make the same mistakes, okay." Edward Thatch stepped in to warn them.
"Captain Thatch, I breathe the same air as you, but why do you speak in such a strong tone?" Charles Vane sarcastically said.
"Why do you use the same black flag as my Blackbeard? What is the wind that blows you so far to the north? ”
"The truth is that the Cuban governor is arranging to receive a large sum of gold from a nearby fortress. The gold would sit there until he received it, waiting for someone else to pick it up. ”
"An order from the Governor of Torres? Sounds interesting. Edward Kenway at the table said with interest.
"Interested?" Amami asked.
"Of course." A lot of gold, there's nothing more practical than gold. That's what interests him the most.
"Be careful when you take the island, don't reveal your identity." Amami reminded Edward Kenway. His current identity in the Templar Order is Duncan Walpole, and the pirate's identity cannot be discovered by them.
"Okay." Edward Kenway knew what Amami Shu was referring to, and after agreeing, he suddenly reacted to the meaning of Amami's words.
"Aren't you going with me?"
With Edward Kenway's understanding of Tenmi Shu, if he went with him, he would never have reminded himself of the problem of identity.
"I'm not going." Amami Xiu waved his hand and said, he is not interested in such things as gold, it is enough to capture the fortress with Edward Kenway, and there is not much danger in that place.
……
A few days later, Edward Kenway left behind the Jackdaw, and Thatch and they left on a ship.
After Edward Kenway and the others left, Amami Shuya left aboard the Jackdaw, accompanied by Adéwale, the quartermaster of the Jackdaw. Amamishu didn't want to drive the ship himself, and he didn't know any reliable navigators, so he left Adéwal behind.
……
"That's it." The Jackdaw slowed down and sailed towards the harbor of the island in front of her.
"Well, if the intelligence is not wrong." Adéwal let go of the rudder and docked the Jackdaw at its berth in Kingston Harbor.
The target of the assassination was an old man who trafficked in human beings, Lawrence Prince, the owner of the merchant ship that had passed by Tulum before. This is a famous slave trader at sea, James Kidd has a vendetta against this guy, and has been following this guy since the last time he found him. So Amami Xiu found this old guy with her hand.
Now the slave traders, Lawrence Prince and James Kidd, are on the island.
The name of this island is Kingston, and Amami Shu likes this name very much, but he doesn't know if it sells memory sticks or anything here.
Came to the bird's-eye view point of Kingston, turned on the [Eagle Eye] to look down on the pedestrians below. Soon, Amami found Torres and Prince.
Leap of Faith jumps off the viewpoint and follows them. The two guys had just met in Kingston, and they had started to exchange pleasantries.
"How long have we not seen each other, Prince? Is there a year? ”
"Almost 18 months." Lawrence Prince pondered for a moment, "When you first introduced me to the fellow Roberts in November 1715. ”
Fellow? I didn't expect these two guys to come out of the same place.
"Ah, that's right. A lot of things have changed in that time, you know, nobody calls me Governor anymore since I left this position last year. ”
"Ah, I don't know any of these things." Lawrence Prince seemed a little surprised.
After the pleasantries, Torres began to ask about the interests of both parties, such as the slave trade of Lawrence Prince.
"There are so many churches in Kingston, and many Englishmen are still planning to convert slaves to Christianity?"
"Convert their faith?" Lawrence Prince scoffed, "Please, Torres! That's a stupid attention. ”
"Stupid? What do you mean. ”
"Isn't it a sin to enslave Christians? Wouldn't converting them to Christianity be tantamount to mutating the soul of an animal into a human, would you let your cow eat at the table? ”
In monarchies, slaves most of the time live worse than the animals in their mouths. As long as you change your faith, you can change from an 'animal' to a real 'human'.
"Forgive me for my impatience, but how far is it?" Torres was already a little impatient with such a conversation, and he now just wanted to take the Sage away from his hands
"It's almost there." Lawrence Prince said.
On the way, they passed by the scene of an execution, where three soldiers were preparing to shoot a slave.
"Hold your head high, slave!" Lawrence Prince shouted at the prisoner, "Face the punishment like a man." ”
The slave yelled unwillingly, "Why didn't you treat me as a human being for 30 years, and now you want to make me look like a man." ”
Lawrence Prince seemed to be just passing by, and he ignored the desperate cries of a small slave, and the two turned away.
Amami Shu frowned and looked at the slave who was about to be executed, and decided to free him. At the same time, the voice of the system sounded in Amami's ears.
"Side quest released
Objective: Free the slave who was about to be shot.
Rewards: 20 equipment points, 5 skill points. ”
The reward is not very high, but it has already been decided to save this slave, and the reward for this task is almost the same as giving it away for nothing. Three soldiers, well settled. However, if it is too loud, it will attract the attention of Torres and Lawrence Prince.
Amami Shu took out a blowpipe and two blow needles from the space. It was brought back from Tulum before, and a total of more than 30 sleepy blow needles were made, and the furious blow needles Tian Jian Xiu did not accept them. Directly using the slumber blow needle, it was put on the two soldiers.
After the blow needle hit them in the neck, the soldier who felt the pain reached out and pulled the blow needle off, realizing that something was wrong with the two soldiers trying to escape, but only after taking two steps passed out.
The remaining soldier was eliminated by Tianjian Xiu with the [Phantom Arrow].
Amami Shu jumped down from the roof of the house, came to the prisoner's side, cut his rope, and said to him, "Go to the port and find a black man named Adéwale, and he will take you in." ”
After saying that, Amami Shu left here.
……
Torres, who had been away for a while, looked at Lawrence Prince, who was walking beside him.
"I find your behavior to be horrible, Prince, and I believe that everyone deserves to be respected and given a chance."
"Spaniards. Life here has made you too weak. ”
"It's not that I believe in all equality, even men and women," Torres said. It is true that men have the talent and wisdom to lead the world, but slavery has no practical benefit. ”
