"So how do you feel about my proposal?"

Burton was pleased with Gordon's reaction, and if nothing else, Gordon was already moved.

"Deal, I will follow the exploration team to explore the information of the El Dorado first, when will I leave?"

Gordon's reaction didn't go beyond his expectations.

"Sooner rather than later, let's go now, we'll try to figure everything out before Lord Betke arrives. ”

......

"Serena, is there anything you need to ask me?"

In this preliminary exploration, of course, Gordon wanted to take Selina as a witch directly, but for many reasons, he still chose to give up, the first is due to physical problems, Serena is likely to drag the team back, and the second is that even Burton did not have too many illusions about this mission, this team is only equivalent to a death squad, and a lot of information has been explored for the later large army, and it is easier for Gordon to escape by himself, bring Serena's words......

But before he left, he still wanted to hear the opinion of this witch, although he was half-witted, he was the one who knew the most about curses of all the people here.

"Well, I've divined, your death is not here, don't worry, Evan, help me find the way." Serena didn't seem to pay much attention to this exploration, but said it in a very playful tone.

Of course, this did dilute a lot of Gordon's tension.

“...... Dear Miss Witch, I am really relieved to hear you say that, hehe!"

He had a smiling expression. How to say, this witch who is "proficient" in divination, at least the weather divination is right.

Gordon and Gore, with seven of the bravest soldiers selected from more than a hundred soldiers, formed a team of nine men.

At this time, Burton was also busy with the soldiers, since they chose to camp here, they also needed to clean up the corpses in the water, otherwise the water source would be polluted, and no one dared to risk their lives to go to the source further upstream to get water.

"Bring two groups of soldiers with me, try not to look at the gold, and pull up the bodies of the dead with ropes and iron hooks. ”

"Yes, sir, follow me. ”

A lieutenant temporarily took Gore's place and became a temporary adjutant. He led two teams of soldiers to follow Burton, and during this special time, Burton was able to calm the army by handling things himself.

More soldiers are cutting down wood to build camps, which should be as strong as possible, because they may live here for many days, and even accommodate the follow-ups.

The soldiers were busy, the sailors of the Jackdaw were much more leisurely, and many of them seemed idle, talking loudly about the gold, and of course building camp under Alan's urging, but it was clear that the interest was not high.

The sailors seemed to have become a little impetuous, and someone overheard Gordon's conversation with Burton, and spread it. Because according to Gordon's character, every sailor has the opportunity to get a large amount of money, and someone has already begun to plan how to spend this money, which is not a good sign.

These people, almost none of them are worried about the life or death of their captain, I don't know if it is out of absolute trust, or if they have been carried away by gold, these young men who were originally simple-minded have already undergone great changes in the sea, and I don't know from which point they started, and gradually spread.

If there was one person in the camp who worried about Gordon, it was Boatswain Mitch, the old man who had followed Gordon the longest and had experienced the most, and Morgan was gone, and only he knew his captain best.

He knows what kind of person Gordon is, sometimes hot-blooded, easy to be reckless for the sake of those close to him, this kind of person is terrible, respectable, but also reckless, and many things are not thought out at all.

Gordon had no faith, he was not afraid of the gods, he was not afraid of curses, he did not believe in the rumors that sailors would capsize if they let women on board, and he did not believe that witches would bring bad luck.

This kind of person acts without rules and fears, and is often able to do things according to his own ideas, but he is easily manipulated by fate.

This time, he insisted on accompanying Gordon, but Gordon refused with his righteous words.

"Don't worry, Mitch, it's easy to distract me with you, don't worry, the voyage of the great Captain Gordon has just begun, and we still have a long way to go. ”

Gordon left with a confident smile on his face, El Dorado should be an important turning point in his life, if everything goes well, according to the discovery in his heart, the future will be bright, he is willing to fight for this.

In the end, Mickey couldn't say anything, so he could only admonish: "Captain, we still have a shipload of people waiting for you, if not, we will leave here, no matter what Britain, what navy, we can continue to make money on the sea." ”

"Don't worry, my boatswain, you can, definitely!"

This is the situation on the camp for the time being, and at this time, Gordon and Gore are leading a group towards the big waterfall, no, it should be said that Angel Falls, the largest waterfall in the world, is also called Angel Falls.

He had already recognized this magnificent waterfall, of course, no one had named it at this time, and if this exploration was successful, it would probably be called Burton Falls, or Strange Falls, or maybe Evan Gordon Falls.

That's what Gordon had in mind.

They tried to stay away from the river along the way, not to see the gold, but they could clearly see the dry bones on the bank of the river, those bones had an abnormal snow white, and even reflected the light, along the way, they had seen almost twenty bodies, all of them were pioneers in the exploration of El Dorado, and of course they could also be the Indians living here.

These bones show the cruelty of the search for El Dorado, but the latter are like moths to a fire, and continue to throw themselves into it.

They walked about five kilometers along the riverbank, and saw that the waterfall was already close in front of them, and the gold in the water was even more dazzling, and to be honest, if he hadn't known the curse on the gold, Gordon would have jumped into the river and turned all those shining things into his own gold coins.

He couldn't help but sneak a glance, and instantly felt that his greed filled his brain, the desire to possess those gold.

Gore first noticed that Gordon was not in the right state, and directly dragged him down, and two big slaps were slapped over.

"Wake up Gordon, you don't want to die. Dare to look at the gold!"

The two slaps completely woke Gordon up, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

What am I doing? This is definitely not my usual me.

The turbulent waterfall fell from the sky, the water was extremely turbulent, as long as he dared to jump, it would definitely be dead or alive.

"Thank you, Gore. ”

Gordon smiled ugly and put away his contempt.
