Chapter 14 The next destination, determined
John thought about it and thought about it, but only two key points came to mind: Edward, and the Observatory. Based on current information, Edward is the most crucial person, and the Observatory is likely to hold the world's greatest secret. Touching his chin, John was going to wait for Edward to return before talking to him about the Observatory.
Unexpectedly, Edward still didn't come back until dawn, but Bonnet came back in the middle of the night, and it seems that Bonnet, who had just made a fortune, enjoyed this kind of city life. John greeted Bonnet, who had just entered the cabin, and whether he heard it or not, turned around and walked out of the cabin with his knife hung.
John thinks that if Edward didn't come back yesterday, something should have happened, and thinking about the place where Edward went is not ordinary, it will naturally not be a good thing. Thinking of this, John looked at Bonnet, who had fallen asleep in the hammock, and stepped out of the cabin to inquire about the city of Havana.
Touching the two remaining coins on his body, John scratched his head. It's good to ask about this method with money, but I don't have any money now. It seems that some extraordinary measures have to be taken. Thinking of what he saw on the street yesterday, John had a plan in mind.
Walking through the streets of Havana, John was not wandering around this time because he had a goal. From time to time, his eyes skimmed around, searching for something. "There you go. Sure enough, it didn't take long for John to find his target, a thief who had just stolen his wallet from a passerby.
With a smile on his face, John sneaked behind the thief. To be honest, John's impression of the thief is actually quite good, thanks to his old friend, Greret. This is a thief who likes to steal in famous places, and when he first met him, he was locked in a prison with the high walls of Lothric, and he rescued him and found the bones of the people who were important to him. In order to repay herself, Grerett will sell her stolen goods to herself at a low price.
Here, though, John knows it's wrong to steal. Since the thief is wrong, it is always okay to teach him a lesson? Seeing the thief passing by a small alley, John walked up quickly, grabbed the thief's hand, and dragged him deeper into the alley. "Hey, who are you and what are you going to do?" The thief was different from Greret, tall and muscular, and his first reaction was to shake John's hand away. I shook it off and didn't shake it off.
John didn't reply, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this alley, he turned around and punched the thief in the stomach, so painful that he bent down directly. John didn't stop, and walked over and raised his leg to hit the thief with a knee in the face that had bent down. The blow was ferocious, and when I heard a "click", I broke the bridge of the thief's nose and knocked out several of my front teeth. The thief rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing that the thief had fainted, John bent down to take the money bag he had just stolen, groped around him a few more times, and pulled out another money bag from the thief's arms. Standing up, John, who was about to leave, suddenly swept over a ring that the thief had hidden in his arms, and the ruby on it glowed red in the sunlight. John, who intuitively felt that this ring was worth a lot of money, naturally would not let it go, and bent down to pick up the ring.
Regardless of what would happen to the thief who had passed out here, John left the alley to make sure no one noticed the movement, and set off for the tavern where Bonnet had taken him yesterday.
According to the knowledge of the soul of the original stone, there are three religions and nine streams in this kind of tavern, and a large amount of information converges here, as long as you are interested, you can hear some clues from the mouths of the drinkers who drink and brag in the tavern. And if you give the bartender or the security staff there some money you can buy good information. There, there will always be a magical creature called Bai Xiaosheng, and it shouldn't be wrong to go there.
Thinking so, John walked into the tavern. The bartender there had a clearly good look in his eyes, and he recognized John as he entered the door: "Aha, isn't this the fat merchant's bodyguard yesterday?"
John didn't correct the bartender, sat down on the edge of the bar, took two coins from the thief's wallet and handed them over: "Have a glass of rum." ”
The bartender settled the money and looked at the pattern on it: "It's still Spanish silver dollars, these two can buy several large bottles of rum." John didn't take the extra money from the bartender and said, "I want to ask you something." ”
When the bartender heard John say this, he knew that John had deliberately given more, and said, "Ask, I charge here based on the value of the information." The implication is that John's money may not be enough, and he needs to be asked before he can decide how much to receive.
John looked around and asked, "Did anything happen in the city last night?"
When the bartender heard John's question, his face fell: "Hey, that's it." It's not worth much, just take your time, and even the ladies out there will give you the answer. As he spoke, he pushed the two silver dollars back: "I'll just say it bluntly, someone broke into the governor's palace last night and let a person who was locked in it go, and he didn't run away and was caught." ”
When John heard this, he guessed that the captured man was probably Edward, and asked, "Do you know where the captured man is being held now?"
The bartender took out a cup from under the bar and wiped it with the rag in his hand: "Who knows, maybe in the Governor's Palace, maybe he has been executed." We don't pay much attention to this kind of bold thief. ”
Knowing that there was no answer here, John picked up the cup the bartender had just handed him and drank it down, got up and left.
When the bartender saw John just leave, he didn't even take the silver dollars he had returned, and swept the two coins into his cash box as if nothing had happened.
John walked out of the tavern, found a bench and sat down to think: it seems that Edward's trip to the Doge's Palace yesterday did not go well, and it is very likely that he was the one who was arrested. Now the question is how to find Edward?
After thinking for a while, John guessed that Edward should not have been executed yet, because the world was still functioning normally, that is, where he was imprisoned.
If the world is woven according to Edward's memories, and there is no broken world now, it means that there is still something to be done by the new soul, and it is very likely that it will be an escape.
Thinking of this, John got up and walked towards the docks, thinking: Where would Edward go if he escaped? Havana was impossible, could it be, Nassau?
John thought of the letters he had seen, and of what Edward had said to Bonnet, and had a guess.
It seems that the next place is to go to Nassau.
