"The Explorer's lieutenant......"

Gordon quietly jotted down the paper beside him, he had never heard of the Explorer, but the name would give you a lot of information.

"Okay, Lieutenant Jon, who was the last person to attack you?"

"I don't know, sir, or I'm not sure, they started with the East India Company and the British flag, and when they left they were replaced by a pirate flag, and they spoke Spanish, and there were even Portuguese people. ”

Jon was really a little confused, the ships that attacked them were very well organized, not at all like ordinary pirates, with great firepower, the hull was about seventy meters long, and the draft was extremely deep.

After determining the initial circumstances of the attack, Gordon began to try to ask more in-depth questions.

"Why did they find you? The Explorer is just an adventure ship, and there is no treasure to ......"

And this question immediately alerted Jon: "Sir, your current question has involved royal secrets, and the Explorer is directly under the orders of the king. ”

OK, needless to say, Gordon already knows why the pirates attacked them, and if I'm not mistaken, then it should be a clue to El Dorado.

"Well, Jon, I don't mean anything about it, and since this involves confidential information, I won't bother with it, I just hope you have a good time on the rest of your journey. ”

Jon nodded, and then took his leave.

The news of El Dorado had brought down the Explorer, and it also made him realize the importance of this news.

Gordon leaned back in his chair, lit a cigar, and thought a lot about the smoke as it flew away.

If there is already a group of people who have set off first, then they are definitely not manpowered, this is a quest, more people are needed to find, and they also need to fight when they encounter the enemy.

He took Burton's letter of introduction out of the drawer and hesitated for a long time.

"It seems that I can only ask the Duke for help, but now I need to know the specific clues, Jon......"

......

During the night, Gordon found Alan.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Alan looked at Gordon's mysterious appearance, and deliberately avoided everyone.

"Alan, we have a chance to make a fortune, do you want to know?"

"Get rich!!"

These two words were like turning on the switch of his spirit, and the whole person was more energetic in an instant.

"Of course I want to know, Captain, what do you need me to do?"

Gordon stuck his head out and looked around to make sure no one was coming to the place before he spoke.

"Jon, whom we rescued, has clues about El Dorado in his hands, and you have to find a way to get him a drink and find a way to get some useful information. ”

And Allen's face showed a sad color: "Captain, this ......"

Gordon patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Alan, it's up to you whether you can find El Dorado, do you want to get rich?"

"Captain...... I ......" Alan was still hesitant, he wasn't afraid to do it, he was just afraid that he would mess things up.

Gordon stared at him with a look of trust: "I believe in you!"

"Captain, you've been so good to me......"

Alan finally walked away in his flickering, and Gordon nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed Quirin from the ground and returned to the captain's room.

However, the real result is that in the next twenty days of the voyage, Alan found nothing, and although he and Jon became very good friends, they did not say anything about what they saw and where they set sail, and Alan could only knock on the side.

"It should be somewhere in South America, some river basin. ”

On this day, Alan found the captain.

"Oh?

"Because he told me about an interesting old man who didn't like money, and who fished for a shipwreck at an estuary about ten years old, and about what they were doing in the Amazon Valley. ”

"That's it?"

"Well, it's over. ”

Gordon touched his chin and pondered for a long time, only to realize that Allen's speculation seemed to have some truth, but this bit of information was too little, and it would take too long to explore a river basin.

"I don't want to think about that, I'm expected to be able to get to London today, and I've heard that Jon is going to visit Duke Strange too, so this is an opportunity, and I have to give it a try. ”

Alan nodded and didn't bother any longer, but stepped back.

Gordon was just a man who quietly wrote a logbook in the captain's quarters, recording his daily movements, and the days after his departure from Nassau were very uneventful, except of course the time when he was almost killed by a jaguar.

Every day, he spent two hours at the helm, continuing to familiarize himself with the piloting of the Jackdaw, and the rest of the time he spent anchoring, taking notes on his observations, and writing a nautical diary.

There had been two rains on the voyage, but they had not been given much fresh water, and about three days before they had had to cook food in water that had already stinked, but fortunately none of the sailors fell ill from it.

Drinking is basically rum and ale, anyway, Gordon has never drunk normal water.

By the way, Alan accidentally bought too many potatoes, and most of those potatoes ended up being fed to the few animals that accompanied the ship, and those animals naturally became a delicacy on the plate, which was a rare fresh food in the voyage.

Some of the remaining potatoes were eaten by the crew, but the humid conditions of the sea allowed many to sprout, or simply rot, and then thrown directly into the sea.

For the last ten days, the crew's main food was bacon, beans, oats, and brown bread, and Gordon was about to vomit anyway, and no amount of skillful cooking could dispel people's aversion to eating a food for more than a month.

Gordon pushed open the door to the captain's quarters, for he had heard the cries of a lookout seeing the harbor, and everyone was very excited, for the days of adrift on the sea were not always happy.

After drinking and buying alcohol for a long time, Gordon's skin has become a lot flushed, dry, and has a beard that is not short, and his hair is much longer, which can be tied in a bunch at the back, and he began to believe Kuric a little, maybe this guy was really handsome before, because decades of sailing have become what he is now.

Looking at the cheering sailors, Gordon also laughed happily, and was also very much looking forward to stepping back on land.

A man sat down on the stairs from the deck to the ship's building, then took a dagger and shaved the beard off his face.

Through the mirror, I saw this already somewhat unfamiliar face, embarrassed stubble, bronzed skin, high nose bridge, and those sky blue eyes.

faded a lot of greenness, became more mature, and then showed a bright smile: "Actually, it's not bad." ”
