Chapter 47: The Sage
The sailors, hearing John say that they were about to depart, could say that they had made some preparations, even if they were not very reluctant. But John naturally had his own way, and he took out his cash box: "Go, boys, as soon as I find the Observatory, this box and the gold coins in it will be yours." Sure enough, nothing motivated pirates more than gold, and when the pirates looked at John's chest full of gold and silver coins, the light in their eyes obscured even the glow of gold and silver.
Seeing everyone's expressions, John nodded in satisfaction. Turning his head and seeing George standing beside him, he didn't seem to be attracted by the gold and silver, and John said, "George, what's the matter? Don't you like this?"
"No, who doesn't love gold? Even gods go crazy for gold. George said, "But I think what you just said, are you ready to leave us?" John did not answer, but asked, "Where did you see that I was leaving?" "It is not normal for you to take out all your money and not leave any of it for yourself." John patted George on the shoulder and didn't answer George's previous question. Now John doesn't even know his future, and he can't say that he will leave this world in the next second, and in this case, any promise is false.
The excited sailors talked about the gold coins they were going to get in their hands and about the future, some said they wanted to go home and buy the landlord, and some wanted to buy their own ship and go to sea, but no one thought about what John would do after he handed over the cash box. Yes, as long as you have money, what do you care? Tempted by money, the sailors have no complaints about the imminent departure from the center of Galle to a small island in Africa.
This time John was not alone, and next to him was Edward's ship, the Jackdaw. Two pirate ships with black flags lined the ocean, both heavily armored warships with plenty of guns, and many small merchant ships turned and fled when they saw them in the distance. Since the two of them only wanted to reach Principe as soon as possible, and did not bother to take care of these small ships, Edward would not have robbed these small merchant ships as long as they were not short of supplies. Hurrying on, the two had already arrived in Principe, and still hadn't sent the two good Templars out at sea. But now is not the time for the two to sigh, because in the field of vision, five warships appeared, and they surrounded this side violently. Fortunately, these ships were not the legendary ships "Jade" and "Prince" that they had seen from afar during their previous voyages, with heavy armor penguins, and their bodies were covered with large ones that exceeded the artillery, otherwise John and Edward would have turned around and fled.
After sinking the ships, Edward and the John River boat docked in the inlet next to the island. Jumping from the boat into the water, Edward turned to the crew and said, "You wait here for me, I'll be back soon." ”
John watched Edward swim toward the shore and jumped into the water to follow Edward. George looked at John's back and shrugged.
John followed Edward ashore, and Edward said, "John, you will follow me for a while, and remember to support me if anything happens." John nodded in response. Along the way, Edward found a gathering place fenced with tree branches. After killing several Templars, Edward climbed the tree branch and entered the gathering place, and John climbed the tree to observe the gathering place.
After Edward entered, he found a navy on the ground that had been shot and fell to the ground, and Edward, who felt strange in his heart, cautiously walked over and examined the body of this navy. Then John saw a man walk out from behind him, with a gun pointed at Edward, as if to say something.
John quietly put himself on a spy and jumped down from the tree to hide behind the box behind them, it seemed that this man knew Edward, and did not shoot directly, but was talking to Edward. That being the case, John did not go out to disturb them.
"Captain Kenway. The man pointed a gun at Edward, but stopped him. Edward stood up and looked at the man, "It's an emergency, Robuz. We really shouldn't be enemies of each other. ”
The one called Rob Ci seemed to be bored and didn't put down his gun: "Don't follow me, your wish will come true." Edward raised his hands, "No need for this, you know I've always been a man of my word." To show my sincerity. With that, Edward shouted, "Come out John, this is not an enemy." ”
John heard Edward say this, and the two knew each other again, and walked out from behind the box.
Rob Ci didn't seem to expect that there were other people, and when he saw that Edward had called people out, he knew that Edward didn't want to do it, so he put away his gun and said, "You have found a good partner." Our Captain Howe was killed today by a surprise attack by the Portuguese, this well-limbed fool. I've warned him not to go ashore. ”
Edward said, "These are all orchestrated by the Templars, along with the people who are going to take you to Havana." ”
Robuz sighed, "Looks like we can't escape the Templars' grasp, isn't it? ”
"That sounds good. Edward agreed, and John naturally had no objections.
Robots said, "I know what to do, but the Templars won't let us leave the island if they find out I'm running away." ”
Edward turned: "They won't know, don't worry." Let's go, John, we have something to do. ”
"Sounds good. John shrugged, picked up a knife that had fallen beside him, and followed Edward into the jungle.
There were many soldiers in the jungle, but they couldn't stop these two men. After sneaking away from the soldiers' gaze, John and Edward spotted their target this time, the Templars.
It was evident that the two had not expected someone to assassinate them, and as they walked side by side around a corner, Edward jumped from the house and stabbed the knife in both hands into their backs, dealing with them cleanly.
Escaping the camp was easier than when they came in, and because their targets had been exposed, the two of them took out their flintlock pistols and burst the barrels of explosives around them, and the flames burst out towards the surroundings, and several unlucky eggs were directly ignited, and some landed on the tents, igniting a block of roads behind them, so that the pursuers had no time to chase after them.
After rescuing Robci, take Robci to the docks. Robuz used his own language to attract a group of slaves like himself, and succeeded in seizing a warship and sailing with John and Edward. Two months later, Robotes said goodbye to Edward and handed him a piece of paper. It seems to be the location of the observatory. John thought. I really want to get out of this world soon.
