The atmosphere on deck was a bit eerie, and the imaginary scene of heated arguments did not appear when Orff appeared.

Orff was really like a dull old man, forced to retreat step by step by the heavy fire of the black gunners, and was about to fall off a cliff.

Although Goodwin had always felt that he was sure of victory, it was a bit of a surprise that things were going so smoothly, and it only gave rise to a sense of unease in his heart.

Orff looked around at the crowd again, and said, "Yes, you have reason to be dissatisfied, and it is indeed a difficult time, both for you and for me, but I want to say that these hard days will be over from this day forward, and if you ask me what I have been up to lately, I think it's time to tell you." ”

The black gunner's ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and reason told him that he should not let Orff continue, but now he couldn't find a reason to interrupt the other party, and the statement before the vote was everyone's freedom, and it was impossible for him to unilaterally criticize Orff without letting the latter defend himself, so Goodwin could only comfort himself that the overall situation had been decided, those people were won by him one by one, and many of them had interests exchanged with him, and such an alliance should be very stable.

Orff saw that everyone's attention was now drawn to him, and then he said with satisfaction, "I have known most of you for a long time, you should know what kind of person I am, my past has never been hidden from you, yes, before coming to the Sea Lion, I sailed with Kidd, the greatest captain of the Caribbean, until he was arrested and hanged in London, and those fellows raided his home, but found only a small amount of gold and silver.

"I know you've heard rumors that he's kept all the looting he's looted in a secret place, and now I can tell you that it's true."

Orff's words caused an uproar, Kidd's story as a pirate is almost unaware, from 1695 to 1699 he was the most powerful pirate in the entire Caribbean, piloting the Quedav Merchant with fifty guns, so powerful firepower that even many colonial seaports feared, legend has it that in just five years he amassed an astonishing fortune.

The whereabouts of this wealth were unknown after his death, and his car, the Quedaf Merchant, was nowhere to be found.

"I've been investigating the whereabouts of that treasure since Kidd's death, and now I finally have a clue and have reason to believe that we're close to it."

Orff had to wait until the buzz in the crowd had subsided before continuing, "Forgive me for hiding it from you, not because I didn't believe you, but because I was afraid that the other pirates would hear the news, but now, I have to confess to you. ”

After Orff finished speaking, he finally glanced at Goodwin not far away, the latter's back was already soaked with sweat, his face was pale, just three minutes ago he thought he was well prepared, but he still didn't expect to be turned over by the other party in such a completely unreasonable way, as a pirate, of course he knew how tempting Kidd's treasure was.

Even he couldn't help but be thrilled for a moment, what about the others, his allies, and how many were willing to stand by his side and remove Orff from office at the risk of losing a large share of the treasure in his hands.

He had been planning for so long, and he did not hesitate to be a good man for so long, greeting those newcomers who had just come on board, enduring the strange conditions and hobbies of other allies, and now that all this effort was meaningless, Orff was really unwilling, like a drowning man desperately trying to grasp the last straw, he said, "Vote, and vote...... I haven't lost yet. ”

However, Orff's last words completely shattered his remaining hopes, "Now, who wants to sail with me to chase that legendary treasure?!" ”

After a few seconds of silence, the pirates burst into cheers and shouted together, "Treasure! Treasure!! Treasure!!! "At this moment, everyone's face was full of fanaticism, and no one looked at the lost black gunner on the other side, and at this moment Goodwin felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world.

…………

"The results are in!" Marvin rushed down from the deck for the first time, and said to Zhang Heng, who was doing push-ups in the cabin, "The result is out, Goodwin has the chance to win, but Mr. Orff completely reversed the situation in just a few words, you didn't see Goodwin's last face, I feel a little sorry for him." ”

The farmer's son paused and said excitedly, "Also, we're going to get rich this time!" Do you know that guy named Kidd, the great pirate, I heard that half of London was running to watch when he was hanged, and we are now going to find the treasure he left behind! ”

Marven looked around and lowered his voice, "After being kidnapped by those pirates, to be honest, I felt like I was living every day, but now, I began to think that maybe this was not a bad thing, it was fate that made us board this ship." ”

"Huh."

The farmer's son widened his eyes, "What do you mean, think about it, the treasure left by the Pirate King, aren't you excited?" I was on deck thinking about how I was going to spend the money after I got it, I was going to buy two plantations in Boston, and then a bunch of black slaves, and then I would take out all the rest of the money and spend all my money, you know, the woman named Daisy in the yard always looked down on me, and I didn't even care about the service, and I ...... when I got the money."

"Marven," Zhang Heng finished his last push-up, got up and wiped the sweat from his neck, and interrupted the sweet dream of the farmer's son, "You haven't seen that treasure yet, and it's not too late to do anything when you see it." ”

"I'm sorry," the farmer's son also realized that he was a little out of shape, mainly because the atmosphere on the deck was too hot, and everyone was stimulated by the words Kidd's treasure, and their spirits were in a state of excitement.

This also gave birth to a trace of vigilance in Zhang Heng's heart, although he did not support Goodwin, it did not mean that he felt that the latter's worries were unreasonable, Orff, the helmsman, was indeed too close to the captain, which was not a good thing for the other people on the ship, especially this time Orff also let him see how an experienced helmsman manipulated the emotions of the crew.

With a strong captain and a scheming helmsman, they have far more control over the ship than many people think.

Compared to them, Goodwin is like a babbling toddler, the two sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all, and from the moment Goodwin decided to challenge Orff, his end was already sealed.
