Chapter 11 New Tasks
Although it is not love for men, the principle is the same, in this era when communication takes months, the promise made is like real gold, because no one knows whether this meeting will be goodbye forever.
When the sun went down, Gordon re-ascended the land of Cayenne alone, for at the end the woman named Carol had given him a note, which was waiting for him on a western stretch of shore.
Gordon made his way to the west, and as it got dark, there weren't many people on the entire coast, and Carol stood out from the reef by the sea.
He walked over and hugged Carol from behind, for no reason, just because he wanted to be the woman he was attracted to at the first sight.
Carol stood silently until she watched the sun set over the horizon before turning around.
"You go, we are not people of the same world. β
Looking at the heavy makeup that had been washed with tears, Gordon felt an indescribable distress.
A sailor fell in love with a **, which would have been a tragedy.
"Then why did you ask me to come here? β
Sometimes love is so inexplicable, and on this warm afternoon in Cayenne, perhaps because the sun was shining right on her body, the golden light that entered her cheeks through the tips of her hair, combined with the foolish smile and sad eyes, tugged at Gordon's heartstrings.
And Carol is the same, this is the first time she feels respected after she became a **, someone is willing to protect her, and she doesn't care about her identity and past.
"I just want to see you again, after today, you should not see me again, you are just a passerby. β
Gordon was a little silent, and reason told him that it was the best choice to leave it alone,
Now he has no money, no power, no promises, and no future.
If Carol is taken on board by him, she will only be like a canary in a cage, and the sailors will express their displeasure and even have evil thoughts.
Every sailor goes to sea for money, and you can't guarantee that they have extremely high morals, nor can you guarantee that they won't go against the grain, and even in the end, there will be more conflicts because of her.
Sailing is full of dangers, and loyal men will pull you up when you are in trouble, and rebellious sailors will stomp you into the abyss.
"Come with me. β
Reason is ultimately overcome by emotion, and reason may be the best solution, but human nature is the most valuable.
Carol covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, looked at Gordon and shook her head, then ran back in the direction of the city, not looking back.
Gordon raised his hand as if he wanted to hold it, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
Carol's departure gave reason the upper hand again, and he could only clench his fists, feeling what it means to meet the person he wants to love when he is most powerless.
He turned his head and walked slowly back to the boat, but the blonde hair always stayed in his heart.
The feast was over, and Kulic stood on the side of the ship smoking a cigar, as if he had expected Gordon to return at this time.
"Tsk, I thought you'd bring her back. β
He shook his head, as if he felt a little pity, feeling that the young man in front of him was a little too mature, or too worried.
This quality is good, but it can make people look old-fashioned, and what kind of things should be done at any age.
Gordon ripped the cigar off Kuric's mouth, and then took a sharp puff, almost feeling like his lungs were going to explode, and tears came out of his violent cough.
Kulich took the cigar again and continued to shake his head: "It's a dirt bun, it's not like that. β
The best cigars from Havana have a soft smoke, but both nicotine and tar are four or five times more than ordinary tobacco, and inhaling them can cause convulsions in the lungs, coughing, a cigarette that is tasted only through the tongue and circulated through the nose and mouth.
Gordon, who finally stopped coughing, finally straightened up: "Old man, you better pay attention to your body, don't smoke yourself to death one day." β
Gordon returned to the captain's room alone and locked the door as he was about to make his first assassination.
Amos is not a good stubble, he was put to the ground and beaten in front of so many people, if he can't find Gordon's people, it is very likely that he will eventually vent all his dissatisfaction and hatred on Carol, which Gordon does not allow.
Whether or not he could take care of her in the future was no longer on Gordon's radar, but he was here now, and it would have been against his conscience as a human being to intervene if he knew it would lead to the consequences.
βAnimusοΌβ
Gordon meditated in his mind, and the virtual inventory appeared in front of him, and the gray assassin's costume came to the present world under his mind, neatly placed on the bed.
He took off his captain's suit, put down his tricorne hat, put it neatly, and put on this garment, which represented some fate.
This is what our ancestors said, and they laid the core of our faith.
When the hearts of the world blindly follow the so-called truth, remember that all things are false
When the actions of the world are governed by morality or law, remember β all things are true
We work in the darkness in the service of the light, and we are assassins
All things are false, and all things are allowed.
A vast voice echoed in Gordon's ears, inscribed the creed into his soul.
The Assassins represent free will, never blindly believing in the truth or being bound by the system, they only believe in the real world as they see it, and will do whatever it takes for the light of the world.
Gordon eventually puts on that white hood, hiding most of his face in the shadows, and new characters appear in his field of vision.
Assassinate the Rowren Boatswa's Captain Amos, First Officer Alva, and Captain Aldrich.
Mission Description: The Loren served the East India Company and was responsible for the transport of black slaves. The slave transport was full of sin and blood, and one slave transport arrived in Northern Europe at the cost of the bones of ten slaves.
Difficulty: Two stars
Reward: 1 treasure map, 200 materials.
Task Failure: There is no penalty for task failure.
Gordon looked at the new mission, which was originally just to kill one person, but now there are two more people, and it doesn't matter. It's just hard to determine who Alva is and who Aldridge is.
He opened the window of the captain's quarters, then leaped into the water and, without attracting anyone's attention, headed for Cayenne.
Black shadows swept over the port of Cayenne, without making any sound, like a ghost, in this era before lights, the night was the perfect cover, and the black clouds gradually obscured the moonlight, it was really the best day to kill and set fire.
