Chapter 23: The Gray Mist

Gordon looked at his information panel, which had only some basic data.

Gordon (Long Jikun)

Health: 3 (+1)

Armor: 2 (+2)

Attack: 2 (+0)

Seeing that he rolled his eyes, his animus seemed to be a fake, there was no more text introduction, just some of the simplest data, and the specific effect was only to try it himself.

If the attack power is worth two points of his bare hands, can you still understand, but how to understand that the health value is 2, and you will die if you take two attacks?

In order to test some of his guesses, Gordon had to find a dagger and prepare to slash at his arm.

"I was really crazy, in order to verify this data, I was going to give myself a knife, I didn't know and thought I was going to harm myself. ”

After making sure that no one was coming in at this point, Gordon began to aim for his arm, then swiped lightly.

An inexplicable repulsion came from the skin, and this tiny force could not pierce the skin at all.

Gordon's eyes widened as he watched this completely unscientific scene, what the hell is this? God's gift, or is it a high-tech thing like a repulsion shield?

He used more force, and the repulsion gradually increased, reaching a zero threshold, the repulsion no longer increased, and the blade finally touched the skin, and a blood mark appeared.

The repulsion brought by two armor points is not too great, but if you are in battle, you can completely reduce the damage and suppress the enemy's slash to the acceptable range of your body, without instantly losing your combat effectiveness due to pain.

It's just a shark skin's boost, it's a bit against the sky, but he's not going to try this thing, if there is a fight or injury in the future, he will learn about this thing.

As the night grew deeper, the ship set sail again, and the wind filled the sails, just in time for the tailwind to raise the speed of the whole ship to eight knots, and continued towards Port Royal, where the lost time of the day could be recovered.

Most of the sailors had rested during the night, a small number of sailors were on night duty, and an alternate helmsman was responsible for continuing the journey according to the compass in the dark.

Early the next morning, Gordon was woken up by a hurried knock on the door.

"Gordon, there's something wrong. ”

It was none other than Kulić, and his expression was very worried.

Gordon also realizes that something is serious, and that after so many years of sailing at sea, if he feels troublesome, it must not be a small matter.

Gordon put on his coat, then opened the door to the captain's quarters and walked out.

"What happened ......"

Before he could say anything, he could see that the ship was completely gray and white, shrouded in fog, and it was easy to get lost in sailing at this time, and the compass could only determine the general direction, and it was impossible to predict whether it would hit reefs, small islands, other ships, or even the mainland.

"Stop the boat!"

Gordon decisively ordered that the fog in the sea is a very dangerous weather, it is not common in the Caribbean rainy season, all the sea fog depends on the temperature drops to condense, and in June, when the Caribbean is in the heat, this fog is simply incredible.

"You can't stop the boat, Gordon, you may not know what it is, but I've heard of it. ”

There was some panic on Kuric's face, and he couldn't hold it back.

"What the hell is it, tell me. ”

Gordon stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, trying to calm him down.

"The Black Pearl. ”

"What?" Gordon felt himself shaken when he heard the name, of course he knew what the Black Pearl was, among the pirates of the Caribbean, Jack's pirate ship, the fastest ship in the world, there was no one, what was the situation, Captain Jack was also going to mess in?

"Gordon, there is such a legend at sea, there is a ghost ship in the Caribbean, which appeared with a gray sea fog, they have great firepower, the most vicious pirates, almost no one can escape their attack, but no one has ever confirmed it, because none of the ships that were attacked survived, only a few lucky sailors survived and spread the story. ”

"Don't worry Morgan, it's just a legend, isn't it? ”

But Kuric was already shaking, and his face was pale.

"It's true, every year about forty ships disappear in the gray fog, and the Pearl's call a non-existent ship is only the captain's words of comfort to the sailors. ”

Gordon squinted at Kulic, if it was just a legend, it was impossible to make such a captain scared like this, he must know something.

"You've seen the Grey Mist before, right? ”

Hearing Gordon's words, Kuric in front of him was shocked, and his mind was brought back to September six years ago.

At the time, he and another ship were carrying metallic minerals from the Gulf of Guinea to Havana, but the galleon was a Spanish merchant ship with a larger hull and a larger cargo capacity, which was considered by Kulic to be its biggest competitor.

"Kling, did you see that damn Spanish merchant ship?"

Kulić took the telescope and searched the sea for the merchant ship, and he had to make sure that he reached the next port before the other party, because he followed the other party every time, and every time he arrived at the port market, because the other party had bought a large amount of ore, the market price was higher, and of course he gritted his teeth.

In order to catch up with the other party, he didn't even buy the goods when he was in Abidjan, so he set sail directly, just to catch up with the opposite ship and return to the Caribbean, otherwise his goods would be sold at a certain price and would be pushed very low, then there would be no profit at all.

Clint climbed the mast watchtower and looked at the sailboat in the distance, and the Spanish flag appeared clearly in the binoculars, proving that it was the ship they were looking for.

"Captain, it's about twenty-five nautical miles at two o'clock. ”

"Get to work, sailors, stretch out the oars, and we'll catch up with the ship. ”

......

The Coco was definitely superior to the Spanish sailboat in terms of speed, and was accelerated by the already extended slurry, but helplessly in the northerly sidewind, the Spanish sailboat's larger hull ensured that it was less affected by the wind.

The Coco chased for a day, but in the end it only caught up to ten nautical miles.

The next morning, the sea was unusually foggy, and no one knew what it was, but Kuric continued to spread the sails at full speed with his knowledge of the sea, and the Spanish sailing ship might slow down or deviate from course in this fog, which was their best chance to overtake
