I didn't expect to meet John here, and Edward seemed very happy. Although Edward's code of conduct was beneficial, it did not prevent him from making friends with people who deserved to associate with him, and John was the one Edward thought was worth associating.

John looked to where Edward was pointing, and saw the same boat he had seen docked on the edge of the dock. Remembering his previous evaluation of the ship, John asked, "I waited for you at the dock with Bonnet in Havana, and you never came back." Later, when he heard that someone had been arrested at the Doge's Palace, Bonnet was very nervous. Now, he'll be glad to see you safely here. ”

Edward also remembered Bonnet, the big fat man who was optimistic and cheerful, and pulled John with a smile: "It's a big adventure, and it's not something that can be explained by standing on the dock." Let's go, let's go to the tavern and talk while drinking. ”

On the other side, George saw that John had already walked away from the man chatting, and knew that he was nervous in vain. Putting the pound sterling that John had stuffed into his hand and putting it on his chest, George patted the money bag on his chest, shook his head and walked off the boat, ready to go to the shore to find a place to have a good time.

Voyagers, it is not up to them to decide when to go to sea and when to dock, and in case of a storm or something, they may go directly to God, and even if there are mountains of gold and silver at that time, it will not help. It's better to spend money first when you die, and you can enjoy it once you die.

John followed Edward into a tavern, and Edward got up and brought two glasses of wine from the bar and placed them in front of John: "Come celebrate our reunion, cheers." ”

John followed Edward's example and drank from his glass.

"Ha, I didn't expect to see you here. Edward finished his drink, put down his glass, and said. John said, "Me too." At that time, we heard that someone had been taken by the Governor, and we were going to look for you at the Governor's Palace. ”

"Don't mention it. Edward waved his hand: "I thought I could find that big treasure, but I didn't expect to be framed." It was thrown onto a slave ship, and my quartermaster and I had a great deal to snatch it, and now it's mine. With that, Edward looked at the Jackdaw, which was docked. But then he saw John's boat and said, "Hey, friend, your boat is not bad, it doesn't look like something you can afford." ”

John smiled: "Of course I didn't buy it, don't forget who we are." Isn't it the pirate's life to rob whatever you need?"

"You're right. Edward turned to the bartender and poured himself another bottle of wine, "I'm sure you're a real pirate." ”

John picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass: "Am I still not a real pirate?"

Edward originally thought that John would pour himself a glass, and even raised the glass, but John didn't even look this way, and put the bottle down, Edward had to reach out and take the bottle himself: "Sometimes you don't act like a pirate - sometimes you don't even look like a navigator, although there is nothing wrong with your actions, but there is always a sense of rustiness." ”

This person feels quite sensitive. John took a sip of his wine quietly: "Don't talk about me yet, what happened to you, what happened to you being locked up in a slave ship by the governor, how did you escape?"

"I was lucky that I was being held next to me at the time by my current quartermaster, Adéwale. Edward looked around for a moment, as if looking for the Adéwal he was talking about, but he didn't see a figure, so he turned around again: "Together we broke the shackles and escaped, rescuing the other slaves and prisoners who were also imprisoned, and fighting the navy guarding us, and at last we grabbed a boat and escaped, and that's pretty much it." What about you? Where did you get that boat?"

John took a glass and drank with Edward, "My boat is very ordinary. Bonnet and I encountered pirates, and we repelled them all, and the ship became our trophy. ”

"Hey, it's not ordinary at all. Edward looked at John's ship when he heard John's words: "I have never heard of a pirate who was unlucky enough to have his ship robbed, and this unfortunate man can be made into a ship song by us, and his story can be spread throughout the Caribbean." ”

John didn't care what happened to the unlucky guy, he looked at Edward and said, "Listen, Edward, I'm interested in the observatory you mentioned, do you want to look for it?"

Edward looked at John with a wary look in his eyes, as if he was trying to tell if John really wanted to participate in the search, and at the same time wondered if John wanted to get some of the property in the Observatory.

John looked into Edward's eyes and said, "Don't look at me like that, I care more about what is in the Observatory than how much money I can find there." If you think about it, it's amazing to be able to observe the movements of any person anywhere in the world. ”

Edward looked closely at John's face, as if to discern some credibility in John's words. John's face was full of sincerity. Indeed, John was more concerned about the Observatory itself than the amount of money he could make from it. Therefore, Edward could not find a trace of lying in John's face.

"Okay, we can work together, but I think before we go, we have to make an agreement about how we will share the treasure in the Observatory in the future. Edward looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, so he said. John shrugged: "Hugo, if you think this will reassure you." ”

John didn't care about his gains, or if his conjecture was correct, he would have found a way out of this false world when he arrived at the Observatory, so what effect did the amount of wealth in this world have on him? John agreed directly, and there was no debate as Edward had imagined, arguing for an extra gold coin.

After the two had finished talking, John saw a man walking in the distance, who was different from anything he had seen before, with dark skin and thick lips. If memory serves, this should be a black man. But the status of blacks is generally not very high, and in the current Americas, most blacks have only one identity - slaves. And not only was the black man dressed modestly, but John also saw a pistol bag with a flintlock pistol on his chest.

Edward was still talking about how dashing it would be if he got his hands on this incredible fortune: "When the time comes, my pocket must be full of gold coins, and wherever I go, with a wave of my hand, it will rain gold...... Hey, where are you looking?", Edward turned around as well, looking at where John was looking, "See, the most conspicuous person is my quartermaster, Adéwale." Wherever he goes, he is always instantly recognizable, just as striking as his captain. "The negro?" John raised his glass and saw the quartermaster in Edward's mouth look over and gestured to him, "It's really eye-catching." ”
