"Haha, are you playing a joke with me? I'm going to give you a bounty, and then you're going to give me that thing I don't even know exists, and you think I'm mentally retarded?"

Burton was noncommittal to what the Spanish soldier in front of him said, and even wanted to laugh a little, this naïve man wanted to use such a verbal deal to get a bounty.

"Sir, sir, listen to me, we don't want to hold such a thing at all, he will not bring us any benefit, and will come to bring disaster, I swear, everything I say is true. ”

Burton looked at the soldier seriously, a very cowardly young man, who had no scheming, and his mental defense was very fragile, so he proposed an even more tempting condition.

"Do you think you can split the bounty with those pirates? Slade yes, that's your name, I think you can take my people to find those pirates and let me give you the bounty later. ”

The offer was undoubtedly tempting to Slade, who was disgusted by pirates who had different paths, those who were vulgar, the wregs of the sea, not even criminals, just a bunch of pigs, but he still had his senses.

"Sir, I think it's very likely that you'll kill me when I'm taking you to find something, which doesn't seem to be difficult for you. ”

"No, no, Mr. Slade, you don't seem to be able to tell the difference between you and those pirates, you are a soldier, at least you were and are now a free citizen, at least for me, and you brought me what I wanted, so don't worry. ”

Burton's words directly broke his mental defense, and looking at the brigadier general's sincere eyes, it seemed that there was no need to deceive such a small person.

"This is the bounty you deserve. ”

Burton had lost a money bag containing twenty ancient Spanish gold coins.

"If you can take me to the angel, I will give you the other half. ”

Slade opened the purse to make sure the things were genuine, then nodded, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

The rain was still falling, and the pirates hiding behind the trees were already a little impatient.

One of the pirates touched his face with a handful of water, then continued to stare at the camp: "Relax, that kid can't betray us, he needs to know that he is one with us." ”

"Are you sure we're going to give him the money?"

The pirate at the head of the group let out a cruel smile: "Haha, give it to him? I just want him to know each other, otherwise my scimitar will not recognize anyone." ”

As he spoke, he saw that Slade had already walked back from the camp with a money bag in his hand, not so rich, but worth a lot if it were all gold.

Slade walked alone towards the hiding place, but there were already British soldiers who were constantly leaning around, and they had made a long detour, so it was a little delayed.

He walked to the hideout, and sure enough, the pirates snatched his money bag and immediately opened it to check.

It was not clear in the night, so a pirate took out one and took a bite, it was indeed gold.

"Well done, but I don't think that's the price we said we were talking about, so where is the rest of the money?"

The pirate had mastered the trick of dealing with the deserter and landed him against the tree.

"Obviously, the Englishmen couldn't let me take all the money empty-handed, I had to take the angel back in exchange for the remaining half. ”

He said this, and then determined if the square object was here.

The pirate stared at him and said slowly.

"Take the rest of the money and come back here, or you won't want to know the consequences. ”

With that, he handed the angel into Slade's hands.

But it was at this time that the muffled grunt of pain and the sound of swords entering flesh reached his ears through the heavy rain.

It was so close that he turned his head sharply and saw seven or eight British soldiers, and the other two pirates had been stabbed through with a sharp blade, and he drew his sword with some trembling, not even caring about hating Slade.

"It's not fair, we just want a bounty!Slade, why did you betray us!"

He turned his head and yelled, his face full of rain or tears.

He knew that he had no way to live, and even if he could fight again, it would be impossible for him to find a way to survive under the siege of seven or eight elite soldiers.

"I curse you, you coward, you don't die well!"

Slade's eyes were very cold at this time, and even a little sneering, he finally tasted the thrill of revenge, these residues.

"Sorry, we've never been in this group. ”

The blades of the soldiers struck each other, the light in the flash of thunder, and a figure was stabbed into the stomach by five scimitars at the same time.

"Your Excellency, this is the angel. ”

Slade put the angel down on Gore's hand, and the latter lifted a horn to make sure it was true, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Here's the rest of your bounty, take the money and leave here. ”

Gore threw another money bag to him, and Slade was in ecstasy, forty gold coins, which was a lot of money for a person.

"Thank you, sir, I wish you all the best to find El Dorado soon, and I hope you can stay away from those curses. ”

Gore didn't say anything, just watched as Slade slowly turned around to leave, and then a long sword stabbed him in the chest.

Blood and pain covered his face, and he let out a low groan of pain, he couldn't make any sound, just an expression of disbelief when he fell to the ground, he didn't understand, why did he kill him at this time, just because of this little gold coin?

Gore drew his officer's sword, letting the blood wash away in the rain: "Mr. Slade, deserters are despicable, and I don't like to take the time to find out if you fell to the ground or not. ”

He retrieved the bounty from the pirate and the deserter, and then left with the people, not worrying that it would not be discovered by the Spaniards, and that the dead would not leak secrets.

Gore walked into the tent, soaking wet.

Burton didn't even raise his head: "The thing is done?"

"Of course, sir, this is the bounty and the angels that have been taken back. ”

Gore put everything on the ground, and the angel was still wrapped in canvas.

"Keep the bounty and wait until you need it. ”

Burton ignored the bounty and picked up the angel.

The Angel wasn't too big, just bigger than a water glass, the kind of big iron beer glass. It should be solid, and the weight is heavy.

He is playing with this thing, through the canvas, he can't get a glimpse of its full picture, but just by virtue of **, he can feel the exquisite lines on it, which is really beautiful.

"My adjutant, put things away and don't allow any soldiers to come close. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Burton watched the rain continue to fall outside the tent, and his thoughts kept flying.
