Chapter 33: God Exists

As the evening approached, Gordon and his party finally got their hands on hand, which made him feel more and more short of manpower, and went to the tavern to find his drunken sailors and carry all the necessary supplies onto the ship.

The time of departure was the next morning, and he specially reminded the sailors, and then asked them to communicate to each other, not that he did not want to rest more, but that the Pearl was really not suitable to stop in this port, and they needed to leave as soon as possible.

He and Kulich rode to the house in the carriage in which the Admiral had come to pick them up, and as they went, they saw that the shipwrights were already repairing the foremast of the Black Pearl, measured the thickness, and then found an iron plate made by the blacksmith to connect the fractures, and called a number of people.

Thirty silver coins is a lot of work, for a simple repair, and Mickey and Alan don't rest there, they also need to be responsible for finding the sails for tomorrow's voyage.

Riding in a bumpy carriage, he slowly advanced on the stone-paved road, and finally stopped at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion on the high hills.

With all the other buildings in the harbor so low and dilapidated, this house gives Gordon the sense of a twenty-first-century, large manor house, which covers only about three acres of land, but is also rare and beautiful.

Everything here is imbued with the refinement peculiar to this century, handmade by craftsmen, sterling silver candlesticks, clean stoves, deer heads hanging on the walls as decorations.

The two of them were led by the waiter through the ornate hall to the back of the dining room, where the Admiral had been waiting for a long time.

"Sit down, I just want to hear the stories you tell, and I wonder how you can defeat them if these things are really so terrible. ”

Burton was a devout Christian, he firmly believed that there is a God in this world, even after the Renaissance theocracy was attacked, but he still firmly believed that God existed, had supreme power, saved people from suffering, and devout believers could finally ascend to the kingdom of God.

But for the sake of his political life, this belief was suppressed in his heart, and the religious revolution made the royal power war the divine power, and no longer submitted to the rule of religion, and the people still had faith, which was of course fine, but it was definitely not welcomed by the rulers.

The soldiers did not believe that there were pirates who could not be killed, but Burton was very interested, if there really was a curse, there were souls, ghosts, in fact, it would prove the existence of God, so that this world was still in the hands of humans, not replaced by ghosts.

"It was our captain who ended up cutting off Captain Barbossa's head in order to sink him to the bottom of the sea. ”

Kulic spoke first, and all of this made him remember it very deeply, when Gordon was like a divine soldier, instantly subdued Barbossa, talked and laughed in front of dozens of muskets, and even slapped the latter a few times, which was really relieving.

Once Kuric spoke, he couldn't stop excitedly: "...... The captain jumped off the mast and slid down on his knee for a few meters, the flesh of Barbossa's face was polished, but he didn't feel the pain...... The pirates finally compromised after believing the captain's words to redeem them, haha, but as soon as we boarded the ship, we blasted it straight into the water. ”

He manipulated their experiences with his characteristic descriptions, even including Gordon withstanding the temptation of 500,000 gold coins and continuing to order the bombardment......

"Ahem......"

Gordon finally couldn't help but interrupt Kuric's description, which was too pompous, like a myth.

Burton's eyes lit up when he heard this, of course he knew that there was some fabrication in it, but there was indeed a curse on the Aztec gold coin.

"Do you know how to destroy them?"

"Yes, Viscount, the Aztec gold coins have long been not immortal gods, but endless greedy monsters, and it is very easy to destroy them, blow up their bodies, lock them in a dungeon where they cannot see the light of day, and you can kill them completely. ”

Although the words are true, when a soldier encounters such a monster that does not die even if he cuts off his head, it is impossible to say how much courage is left in battle.

"Is there anything easier?"

Gordon thought about it, if the curse was restrained, whether it was the vampires who shuttled between the West and the West, or the zombies in the East, the best way to destroy the things that survived with the help of moonlight was of course to cremate and burn them, but he wasn't sure if this worked.

"Admiral, I suggest that you can trap them with a trapping net, and then the soldiers go up and cut off their heads and shoot them as cannons, or you can just try to splash them with fish oil and set them on fire. ”

Burton nodded, and then beckoned the waiter from the side: "Write it down, and then call Adjutant Gore in." ”

He gave a few words to Gore as he walked in, then handed him a note from his attendant.

"Arrange tonight's defense, everyone in the guard and navy is on standby, the enemy is likely to come ashore tonight or tomorrow morning, and besides, the Black Pearl has some more people, I don't want these things to sail in the Caribbean again. ”

Under Gordon's speculation, Barbossa's party did not travel so fast on the bottom of the sea, whether it was because of the topography of the seabed, or because of the water pressure and resistance, their disembarkation time should be as fast as ten o'clock the next morning, but Burton was already preparing for defense tonight in order to be completely prepared to destroy this legendary pirate in one fell swoop.

The adjutant glanced at Gordon and Kulich, and couldn't figure out how these two people could convince the viscount that there were pirates who could not be killed, and pirates who could march under the sea, but following orders was the most basic quality of a soldier, after all, increasing defense was also a good thing, wasn't it?

After going out, Gore went to the fortress on the coast, ordered his men to start procuring all kinds of ropes, weaving traps, loading fish oil in barrels, placing them on the fortress, preparing all the shells, and letting a group of soldiers start to rest and then take over in the evening.

At this time, all kinds of delicacies began to be served, and two bottles of expensive red wine were opened, why, because Burton was really happy, as a believer.

Like a man living in the materialism of the 21st century, although he firmly believes that there are ghosts and gods in this world, there is no sign to prove it, until one day, he sees this kind of supernatural event, even if it is a ghost, it will make him excited, and then tell others out loud that God exists.
