Chapter 485: I Can Explain
Xu Feng smiled helplessly, "Yes, it's very important, let's put it this way, if we can't raise the necessary funds in a very short time, we will lose, and the whole world will face annihilation." β
Jack nodded slightly, and continued to pour rum.
Yang Gong grinned again, "Captain Jack, why are you asking this question?" Do you have a secret treasure that has never been revealed? Pirates usually have their own secret treasures, Captain Jack, where is your secret treasure? β
Asked twice in a row, but Jack didn't respond.
Yang Gong turned his head again and found that Captain Jack had fallen asleep with the rum bottle in his arms.
ββ¦β¦ This guy! Yang Gong sighed in disappointment.
Iron Hammer also shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of disgust: "I don't think we need to come to him at all, he is already a drunkard, and it is a burden to carry him." β
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "But he is a friend, even if a friend is cumbersome, he has to bring it." β
The hammer was slightly stunned.
Xu Feng smiled: "Okay, go back to the dying seagull, and talk about it tomorrow." β
"Good! Drive! Yang Gong shook the reins again, and the carriage sped through the darkness.
The next day.
In the shelter in the city of San MartΓn.
At this time, there were no hospitals in the city of Sint Martin, only a convent shelter.
Yesterday's pirate robbery of the bank injured many people, so the shelter was overcrowded, full of busy nuns and nurses, and bandaged patients.
In fact, these people are only slightly injured, but the shelter is free after all, and there is no need to use it in vain.
Karina, dressed in a grey nun's robe and carrying a basin of hot water, followed behind the two chubby nuns.
The two fat nuns chatted quietly as they examined the patient's injuries.
"What a sin, pirates have hurt so many people!"
"yes, pirates are damned, but I saw someone who had a cold and ran to the shelter to get some medicine."
"Cold?"
"Yes, he said that it was because he was halfway through the shower and saw the bank running wildly, so he came out naked to watch the excitement, and the wind blew and caught a cold."
"Well, if you don't say it, pirates are really heinous, and they all cause people to come out naked to watch the fun!"
"By the way, do you know about Frances, the mayor's wife?"
"Is that the mayor's wife who slept in the vault with the pirates?"
"That's right! That's her! β
"Hmph, morally corrupt woman! I think she should have been hanged. β
"Rumor has it that she didn't know what she was doing, and that she seemed to have been bewitched by the witchcraft, and then she did something that made her miserable."
"Witches? I've heard that a witch escaped from the barracks yesterday, and now the whole city of St. Martin is under martial law, and Brigadier Fili is trying his best to arrest herβAnna, how did you do it! Your hot water is all on my back! β
"I'm sorry!" Karina hurriedly bowed down and apologized.
Anna was her fake name, and she unconsciously nervous when she heard the two fat nuns mention her.
The fat nun glared at Karina viciously, "...... Hmph, the new nun is so bad that if it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't have brought you out. β
Anna hurriedly bowed her head, looking humble and repentant.
The other fat nun continued: "Anyway, the mayor's wife says that she was bewitched by the witch's magic, so what happened in the vault was not her intention at all. β
"Poor woman, abominable pirate and abominable witch!"
"I really don't know what's wrong with this world, why there are always such wicked people!"
The two nuns said indignantly.
Karina complained in her heart: "What a witch, what a devil, it's just an excuse for you to do evil things!" β
She then stopped paying attention to the fat nun's conversation, but used her eyes to observe the patients around her.
She didn't come here to serve the public as a nun, but to find someone.
Last night, she heard someone say that a wounded deserter had been washed up on St. Maarten, and that the wounded deserter, while unconscious, kept shouting words like Jack Sparrow, Daddy, Salazar, Trident.
Karina was not interested in the first three words, but the word trident touched her most sensitive nerve.
The "Diary of Galileo" left to her by her father records how to find the Trident of the Sea God!
The deserter who shouted "Trident" in a coma was locked up in the aid station when he heard it, so Karina had to take the risk of disguising herself as a nun and sneaking into the aid station.
You know, disguised as a nun, that's a great crime of disrespect, and if you are caught, you will be hanged.
Of course, she would have been identified as a "witch" for a long time, and if she hadn't disguised herself as a nun, she would have been hanged.
Just then, a squad of heavily armed guards broke in.
Karina hurriedly lowered her head and hid behind the two fat nuns.
"Stand-up!" The guards stood in two rows.
Brigadier General Filip walked into the aid station with a straight face and hands behind his back.
He walked straight in front of Karina and walked to one of the beds inside.
On that bed, a young man with blond hair lay down.
This young man was only twenty years old, with wheat-colored skin and very strong muscles.
The young man was still unconscious, his right hand handcuffed to the iron railing of the hospital bed.
"Wake him up." Fili shouted coldly.
"Yes, sir."
The fat nun threw a towel into Karina's hot tub, then fished it out and placed it on the young man's face.
The young man exclaimed in surprise and reflexively sat up from the bed.
His eyes widened, as if he didn't understand what was happening to him.
Brigadier General Filip said coldly, "Henry Turner, Corporal of the Royal English Navy, 3rd Class Sailor of the Navy Assault Ship Monarch. β
The young man bowed his head and said, "Yes." β
Fili said coldly: "The Sovereign has sunk, you are the only survivor of the Sovereign, you leaned against a plank against the current, and in this time of confusion, you floated to our island of St. Martin. β
Henry said weakly: "Sir, please untie my shackles first, and then give me saliva to drink, and I will give you a detailed report on what I have been through." β
"I am the military commander of Sint Maarten, Brigadier General Filip, and my duty is to guard the safety of all the islands of St. Maarten and the surrounding seas, and you, as you float over, have your rank torn off the sleeve of your uniform, which is the sign of a traitor."
Brigadier General Filip said coldly: "You are alive, and the whole ship is dead, and you have the sign of a traitor, what do you think I should do with you?" β
Henry swallowed hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brigadier General, give me some time, I can explain." β
