Chapter 914: Fountain of Youth
Thinking of these Spanish transports, more than a dozen powerful warships of his own family were fighting desperately with two hapless pirate groups, and they actually gave the fragile transport ship full of in-demand goods to Akon and Katarina. It's ridiculous!
Perhaps Zhang Fan's 'Dragon Soul' pirate group and Katarina's 'Barbarossa' Pirate Solidarity League chose the right auspicious day for the zodiac, and good things came in pairs. Two more Carrak galleons appeared ahead, and they didn't seem to be moving fast. Judging by the experienced Captain Hook and Caterina, these two galleons should be the treasure ships of Spain transporting gold, but it is unknown why there are no warships to escort them. Isn't this another cheapening of yourself!
Akon figured out in a flash of his mind that the two treasure ships carrying gold must have gone to help encircle and suppress the pirates, and as a result, they threw the treasure ships in his mouth. This is a big fat meat sent to the door, and it will be destroyed if you don't swallow it. However, these two treasure ships also have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and there are many Spanish soldiers on board, and if they fight hard, I am afraid that there will be losses.
Caterina was about to direct the fleet to rush up when she was stopped by Aken. He had Caterina drop her men to two large Spanish transports. He stepped forward aboard the light escort ship 'Pelican' and presented a document signed by His Excellency the Governor of San Juan. Sincerely keep the captains of the two treasure ships away from the battle area ahead, and ask the other side to help the two transport ships in the convoy that were broken in the battle with the pirates.
Seeing that the four transport ships belonged to their own country, and there were also the emblems of the Spanish royal family on them, and there were also personal documents from His Excellency the Governor of San Juan Island, he naturally had no doubts. Because they had come at the invitation of the commander of the Caribbean Fleet to exterminate the largest pirate groups in the Caribbean. They are also well aware of the situation of local transport ships that are used as bait. Who would have thought that with such a time difference, Aken would take advantage of the loophole. So when they got to the side of the transport ship and threw out the gangway, disaster struck......
Two groups of wolf-like pirates on the transport ship suddenly attacked, catching the Spanish soldiers and sailors on the deck of the treasure ship by surprise! Captain Hook and Caterina were familiar with such ship-grabbing battles, and in less than an hour of fighting, they took control of the two Spanish golden treasure ships.
When the pirates saw the boxes of gold and silver in the bilge, they almost fainted with happiness! If it weren't for Captain Hook and Caterina to hold them down, these lawless pirates would have gone crazy!
Immediately after the victory, Akon and Catalina led the fleet out of the sea, and the two consulted with Captain Hook, and decided that Port-au-Prince would definitely not be able to go. So he turned to Jamaica. There's one of the Caribbean's best pirate hideouts. Although everyone felt that it was not safe there, especially when carrying two ships of gold and four ships of hardware goods. But Captain Hook and Caterina were too far away from their own hideout, and it was not safe to take the fleet with them. Moreover, hundreds of Spanish sailors and soldiers were still held captive in the bottom compartment of the ship, and I am afraid that this will change over time.
As the fleet was heading west toward Jamaica, it came across two three-masted galleons fleeing in disarray, and it was the pirate Victor who was besieging the Spanish fleet. His flagship was heavily damaged during the attack on the Spanish gunboats and was replaced by a three-masted galleon. In the melee, he was wounded by the encircled Spanish fleet, and seeing that the situation was not good, he also prepared to go to the Jamaican pirate hideout port to avoid the limelight. But he didn't want to run headlong into Akon and Katerina's fleet.
This guy recognized the Spanish transport ship at a glance, saw that there were several escort gunboats next to it, and thought it was the Spanish fleet again, so he turned the bow of the ship, turned around and ran.
But Captain Hook, who was driving a three-masted galleon, also saw Victor in the bow of the ship through the telescope, and he was already angry in his heart, and he was so angry that he didn't think about it, so he chased after him. Akon and Caterina were afraid that he would suffer, so they also surrounded him. Poor Victor's three-masted galleon, wounded, had just thrown off the Spanish ship with a tailwind, and now turned against the wind and fled, naturally not as fast as Akon's paddle galleys, and was blocked by the 'St. Raccoon', and he did not dare to fight to the death, so he had to surrender.
When Captain Hook boarded his ship, the man was dead and begged for mercy with a nirvana of begging again. He even took out half of the chart of the abandoned harbor hiding place he had been looking for for a long time to buy his life.
"I heard that this abandoned harbor is in a good location, and there are ready-made docks and abandoned warehouses, recruit some local natives, and disguise it as a very haode hiding place. I haven't found it yet, but it should be not far from Port-au-Prince to Tortuga, which is the golden waterway from Port-au-Prince to Havana, and there are many merchant ships passing by. Immediately after the robbery, you can hide in the hiding place, and it is convenient to go to Tortuga to sell the stolen goods. If you do business, you can also save money on renting a warehouse by going to Port-au-Prince to sell goods...... "Victor is like a salesman, babbling about maps of hiding places in order to survive.
Seeing that Akon and Caterina Mu were reacting, Captain Hook rubbed the iron hook in his hand again, "This is not enough to buy your life!" ”
Victor was so shocked that he immediately threw out a fierce material, "Ah...... Other! Don't kill me! I also know a very important intelligence ......"
"I'd like to see what kind of information can buy you for this cheap life! It will also be able to compensate Captain Hook for the humiliation he lost! Akon sneered.
Victor cried and said, "Okay...... I know you may not believe it, but the hiding place I gave contains information about the Fountain of Youth, a legend in the Caribbean......"
"Fountain of Youth!" Akon and Caterina were shocked.
Akon once learned about the 'Fountain of Youth' in Caribbean legends in the information given by the book demon, and originally thought it was nonsense, but now that there are relevant hints in the scene, then it is very likely that this is true. At least in the shijie of the vow-bearers, they should be able to find this legendary 'fountain of immortality'. Moreover, the scene hints that appear from the mouth of the pirate leader Victor are inevitably inextricably linked to the main task of this trial scene.
"Yes, the Fountain of Youth!" Victor nodded vigorously, a few drops of blood splattered from the wound on his head from the wound made by Captain Hook.
Akon and Caterina glanced at Captain Hook, who grabbed Victor by the collar and brought his face close to him, rubbing Victor's face against his face with the bloody iron hook of his right hand and smiling cruelly, "Tell me what you know, and I'll leave you a whole corpse." If you put me in a good mood, maybe I'll let you live......"
"Hook, dear Hook! You know I'm just a wretched worm, and for everyone's sake of eating Caribbean rice, you can just let me go. There is a clue to that hideout, which is said to be a cemetery...... Perhaps, I know so much......" Victor smirked like a pug in a pitiful manner, and when he saw that Captain Hook's face seemed to change in a disobedient direction, he immediately added, "Ah! You see my memory, it's a poor man's tombstone, and there's a guide on it, and if you can find the other half of the map, maybe there's a sign of the hiding place. That is, the guidance of the message of the Fountain of Youth......"
Hook sneered, looked up at Caterina and said, "This guy won't even believe the devil, so let me hang him." It's a curse to keep it......"
"I'm okay with that......" Caterina shrugged.
Victor immediately shouted, "No! You are all magnanimous leaders, and you should not be like a little man like me! Yes! By the way, I remembered again! All you have to do is find that symbol, and the tombstone with that symbol, and you'll be able to find the Haitian wizard who knows the location of the Fountain of Youth! Legend has it that the Haitian wizard was a benevolent wise man who would guide you to the Fountain of Youth. Think about it, Miss Caterina, if you find the Fountain of Youth, you will be able to stay young forever. ”
"Ah, and you, brave Hook, you will be able to grow your right hand again! Oh no, your hook is beautiful, I'm not discriminating against your disability...... Please remove your pretty hook......"
Victor's servile appearance only made Akon sick, and he didn't understand how this guy managed to lead hundreds of pirates. He has experienced so many historical scenes, and it is the first time he has met such a shameless leader.
"Forget it, let's let this guy go. Kill him, get your hook dirty......" Caterina said to Hook with a frown.
"God bless you! Beautiful Caterina ...... You made a wise decision. Victor immediately smirked and complimented.
Akon suddenly thought of something, and said to Captain Hook, "Wait a minute, let him explain where his hiding place is, and where his treasure is buried." And let him swear a poisonous oath...... Oh, forget it, this guy's oath is even more untrustworthy than the devil's lies. I mean cut out his tongue so he can keep it a secret......"
Victor glanced at Akon resentfully, as if to remember this unknown creature, "Please don't do this, I promise not to know anything, after I release me, I will tell you my treasure hidden place, and I will never break my word." Otherwise, kill me now, I don't want my death to be anything missing! ”
Hook looked at Caterina, he swore allegiance to the red-haired pirate and would never break his word, and as for Akon's words, they were not binding on him. This makes Akon frustrated, although he has long been aware of this and has made the most of this relationship to achieve certain goals. Because he found that the less the vow-bearer intervened in the interactions of the characters in the scene, the less he was bothered by difficulty bonuses and supernatural bonuses. In retrospect, this was also found in the layout of previous scenes.
