The bullet passed through the chest, took away the body temperature, took away the life, took the soul. (56 books, library novels, network geniuses can remember in just 3 seconds)
The pain of death did not distort Carroses's countenance, he didn't say a word, he just tried his best, so that the corners of his trembling mouth rose slightly, he was smiling, laughing a little helplessly, and a little bitter, looking at Katrina with neither anger nor hatred, only a little consternation.
"Dry ...... Pretty...... But...... Someday...... You...... It will also ...... ...... by the sea Engulf...... Remember...... My ......"
After uttering these words with the last of his strength, Carothers slowly fell backwards, swallowed up by the maelstrom, and vanished.
Standing on the edge of the mast, Katrina stared into the depths of the whirlpool, her expression neither happy nor sad, just ...... Silently watching.
But Carroses' death was not a symbol of the end, but the beginning of another catastrophe.
There were two navigators who were able to escape the whirlpool, and one of them is now buried in the sea.
On the other side, there were two ships, both of which were still struggling to escape from the maelstrom of death.
The dead don't have to think about anything, while the living face a painful choice.
“......”
Seeing Catrina slide off the mast, Leah didn't say a word, she just waited quietly, waiting for Catrina to make a decision - save the Vengeful Queen or save the Mystic Light?
Apparently, only one of the two ships was able to be rescued.
If the Queen of Vengeance is to be saved, then the Mystic Light must be abandoned. Of course, in order not to break her oath, Catrina must take Leah and the others aboard the Queen of Vengeance, and it will be an adventure, no one knows how long it will take to board the ship, and there are Carothers' men on the other side who need to be suppressed, and the whole ship may sink with the current to the bottom of the sea before it is finished.
In the same way, if you want to save the mysterious light, you must abandon the Queen of Vengeance, although it is easier, but it is Katrina's father's love ship that must be abandoned, which must carry many memories of the girl.
But time is cruel and never waits for anyone, so Katrina doesn't even have room for hesitation.
Soon, she was placing her hand on the rudder of the Mystic Light.
"Little ones, come back to me, if you fall behind, curse your fate"
She shouted, beckoning the guys who had rushed to the opposite boat to fight for knives to get back to the boat.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any attachment to the Queen of Vengeance, and the only reason I want her back is because I can't stand that Carothers bastard. ”
Before Leah could speak, the pirate girl preemptively spoke.
"And now, she's mine, though it seems like she's going to be gone soon, but...... That's enough......"
Turning her head to look at Leah, Katrina smiled as much as she could, but only reluctantly.
Then, looking at the crew members who returned to the ship one after another, she shouted loudly:
"Lay down the artillery"
"Katrina...... You ......"
Suddenly, Leah looked at each other with a strange expression as if she had thought of something.
"She's mine, so no one can take her away but myself......"
Katrina ignored Leah, just closed her eyes and whispered, as if to tell someone else, but more than that, it made people feel that she was just trying to convince herself.
Then, when they opened their eyes again, they could only see the determination in the girl's gaze, and she cried out loudly, or even hoarsely:
"Fire--"
Then the cannon began to roar, and the vengeful queen's already battered body let out a terrible groan and began to sink gradually
During the whole process, Catrina stood quietly on the side of the ship, watching this love ship that carried too many black legends and memories return to the embrace of the sea little by little, she smiled, and there was sadness, weakness, and a little cruelty in her smile.
For pirates, especially pirate captains, the ship is a partner, a lover, and since they can't hug, they will completely destroy her.
So, perhaps this smile is the best expression of the pirate captain's inner feelings for the Vengeful Queen.
"The little ones are tense up for me, now, we're going to get out of here"
Katrina recovered quickly, and it wasn't long before she beckoned the crowd to start sailing, after all, as she had said before, time was running out.
"Raise the sails -- tighten the ropes -- now the wind is in our favour -- "
The girl shouted loudly and began to lead the Mystic Light out of the dead drum washing machine.
However, although Katrina's appearance seemed to indicate that she had completely stepped out of the shadows and looked very perk, Leah still felt that the girl was barely holding on.
She made the right choice, but she may have done it wrong, if only for herself.
But even so, Leah didn't know what to say, so she could only pray that everyone would leave here safely, and then time would soothe the pain in the pirate girl's heart.
But fate is always dramatic, and sometimes the drama makes people not laugh at all.
Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, accompanied by a loud sound of wooden planks breaking.
"What's going on?"
Leah asked uneasily.
“......”
Katrina didn't answer, but her face turned pale.
"The rudder is broken"
But soon, a sailor ran out of the cabin in a panic and shouted at the top of his voice, which also answered Leah's questions by the way.
As a result, Little Lori's face #Sex Novelhttp://wWw./class12/1.html instantly whiter than Katrina.
"Either fix it for me, or sink into the sea with it, do you hear?"
For a moment, Catrina shook twice like a broken puppet, and nearly fell to the ground, but soon, she barely held herself up, grabbed the pirate in charge of the rudder, and shouted hoarsely.
"Yes...... But...... The rudder is broken...... There is no way to fix ......."
Unfortunately, there is nothing to be done at the moment, even if they try their best, and there is a spare rudder in the cabin, but who can press it in such a current? not even Melti. Ocean maelstroms are to mermaids what tornadoes are to humans, no different.
So Hula, Leah seemed to be able to hear something in Katrina's heart that had been supporting her collapse, and the girl let go of her hand and sat on her knees weakly, her eyes full of confusion.
