Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although under the influence of strange phenomena for several days, the crew of the Thunder had some belief that this mysterious young man was a messenger of God, but the captain must be the group of people who did not believe it the most.
But there is no need to get to the bottom of this, as long as you can lead the way back to the Americas, why not treat you as God's messenger on the surface?
The young man sat on the roof or mast all day long, and had little communication with the crew except for the occasional direction.
After observing this, the captain was more reassuring.
On the afternoon of that day, Yorke struggled to climb onto the mainsail and shouted to the messenger of God who was sitting leisurely on the mast, "Sir, sir!"
Ji Aojian looked down at him, "You climb the sail so slowly, aren't you from a sailor?"
York nodded repeatedly, "You can see it accurately, I was a reporter before I got on the boat." Then he said, "Sir, your canoe has been towed on board as well, are you still going to use it?"
"Why do you ask this?"
York also sat on the beam of the mast, stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, you must know that crossing the Pacific Ocean in a canoe is a miracle on earth, and ordinary people cannot do it at all." ”
"So what?"
"So don't you think about continuing to row a canoe to the United States, as long as you do, I will definitely move my fellow journalists to report that you have turned a new page in human history!"
York blushed with excitement, "In this way, you will become a world celebrity!"
Ji Aojian snorted, "Then, you can get a lot of manuscript fees, and you will be famous in the news industry." ”
"That's not the point. York was still zealously persuading, "Think about it. If you become a world celebrity, there are many benefits. ”
"What's in it for you?"
"When you become a world celebrity, money rolls in. What's more, the upper class of both the new Big 6 and the old Big 6 will be happy to invite you as a guest, so that's it. It's easy for you to get into mainstream society. York gushed, "Otherwise, you're a Maori...... Well, as an Asian, you can't be accepted by the upper class. ”
Ji Aojian shook his head, "Not interested." ”
York was in a hurry. "It would be a pity if you gave up on such a promising thing. ”
Ji Aojian no longer paid attention to him.
York asked tentatively, "Why don't you go like this when you have traveled in a canoe, and is it not in your tribe's faith that you have the virtue of staying to the end?"
Ji Aojian yawned. "I'm tired and don't want to walk on my own. ”
York didn't give up and said, "Maybe you've been in a bad state lately." Well, when we get to the United States, I'll help you prepare. ”
"Prepare what?"
"You can go out on the East Coast of the United States and take a canoe around the world. Sir, I will ask a friend for help. Rent a steamboat to follow you, witness your journey, rescue you in time when you are in danger, and write continuous reports along the way, this round-the-world voyage will be under the watchful eyes of the whole world, and countless readers will be thinking about where you have gone day and night......"
Ji Aojian was a little surprised, "I can't see that you are so creative?"
"Sir, do you agree?"
"I think you're calling it hype. Ji Aojian thought for a moment. "But how do you manage to get the whole world to pay attention?"
"There's a telegram. "Now the United States and the old Great 6 are preparing to lay submarine cables, and in a few years the telegraph network will be built, and the news will be able to reach the major cities of the world through guò." ”
"Hmm. Ji Aojian thought to himself, the exhibition of the telegraph network seemed to be faster than before. Is this the rhythm of modern civilization plus progress?
York waited for a while, feeling more and more confident, "How about it, my plan has satisfied you, right?" Sir, why don't you go out in my hometown of Virginia." My father was a senator, and I would bring the local celebrities together for a beautiful farewell party right on my doorstep, which would surely become a famous historical location in the future. I don't lie to you, I really have a house there with a door facing the sea and spring flowers blooming......"
Poof!
A heavy object fell from the mast into the sea, splashing high waves.
Ji Aojian said lightly, "I still like to take a boat, and I don't want to play a primitive person." ”
The sailors on deck laughed, "York, you actually wanted to use God's messenger to make up fake news, and you were kicked down, right?"
"What kind of fake news, this is called planning! Do you understand the planning?" York shouted in the water, "Mr. Wizard, I really want you to become a world celebrity!"
Ji Aojian rolled his eyes, "I'm not a wizard either. ”
York climbed onto the deck from the rope handed by the sailor and walked back to the mainsail breathlessly, still trying to continue to persuade. But when I looked up, I couldn't help but feel that there was no one on the mast.
"Where have the Maori gone?"
"I didn't see it. The sailors said, "The messenger of God is out of nowhere, and suddenly there is no human figure, and you are not unaware." ”
York said to himself, "Could it be that he is really a messenger of God, and I shouldn't have involved him in business?" No, this is a great act to challenge the limits of human beings, and it is a very meaningful thing, and God should support me." ”
From that day on, York never saw the young man on the ship again.
Puzzled, he asked the others, "Is the messenger of God gone?"
"No, we see him a lot. ”
York was anxious, "Why can't I see him all the time?"
The first mate said, "York, because you are no longer religious in your faith in God, you will naturally not see the messenger of God. ”
"Nonsense!" said York, who was about to scold, when he suddenly looked up and pointed into the distance, "There's a ship over there, it looks very strange!"
On the horizon, a swarthy sailboat was revealed, not only the entire hull black, but also the canvas.
The lookout raised the binoculars and immediately screamed, "There is a huge black ball embedded in the ship!"
"This is the Black Pearl!" the first mate shouted with a sweat on his head, "hoisting the sails." Go as fast as you can!"
With a creak, the captain's stiff leather boots stepped onto the deck again and appeared in front of everyone.
"The Black Pearl is the fastest pirate ship in the Pacific, and the Thunder isn't as fast as it. ”
His eyes were fixed on the black ship in the distance, and his voice was low. "Tomorrow at noon, it will catch up with us. ”
York said, "We're loading too much cargo this time, why don't we throw some of it away?"
"Shut up!" the crew objected in unison.
York coughed, and added, "There's only one pirate ship after all." Can't the Thunder beat it?"
You know, the Thunder was formerly a military ship, and it will be compared to a pirate ship?
"With more than forty guns on board, the Black Pearl is the top firepower in a pirate ship. "It has more guns than the Thunder," said the captain, "and we were in the last battle with pirates." Most of the ammunition has been used. ”
Some sailors commented, "I've heard that the most terrifying thing about the Black Pearl is not this, their captain seems to use dark magic." ”
York was startled, "Dark magic?"
"Yes, legend has it that the captain had a black pearl the size of a crystal ball, which was specially used to cast evil spells, so the captain's nickname was Black Pearl. This ship is also called the Black Pearl,"
"Pearls the size of a crystal ball sound so valuable. ”
"Stop talking nonsense!" shouted the captain, "get to work, drive me as fast as you can!" Our only chance is to change direction tonight and avoid the Black Pearl. ”
York asked, "What if the sun rises tomorrow and you see this black ship?"
"Then start throwing the goods!"
York looked around, "Do any of you still see the messenger of God, and what does he say about it?"
"Leave him alone. The first mate said, "It doesn't help him to show up." Unless he can destroy the Black Pearl, I will admit that he is truly a messenger of God. ”
York muttered, "I think he really has some mystical powers, mystical to mysterious, maybe he's the nemesis of the Black Pearl." ”
Night soon fell. No one on the Thunder could sleep, and in a state of confusion and anxiety, they spent the night with red eyes.
As soon as dawn came, York couldn't help but shout, "Lookout, have we gotten rid of that damn black ship?"
"I don't know, it's foggy now!"
There was a heavy fog, and everyone was stunned.
As the light gradually brightened, the milky white fog completely restricted the view of the hull of the ship.
The captain walked to the bow with a gloomy face.
York asked, "Captain, how far are we from the Black Pearl?"
"I don't know. ”
"Do we need to throw away the goods?"
"I don't know. ”
York nodded, "yes, there's no need to throw it now." ”
"If the Black Pearl is across from us when the fog clears, there's no point in throwing cargo." ”
"Opposite us?" York's eyes lit up, and he suddenly jumped up, "Since the Black Pearl may be close to us, why don't we strike first and fire a platoon of cannons, maybe sink it." ”
"Stupid!" said the first mate, unhappily, "if the Black Pearl is with us, we still have a chance to sneak away." If the cannon is fired, then how can it run away, and it is not a signal for the other side to start a war?"
The captain waved his hand, "If you think of it, the Black Pearl will think of it." Its firepower is fiercer than ours, and it will definitely test us if we are not nearby. ”
When York heard this, he immediately rejoiced, "Now that we don't hear the Black Pearl's cannons, it means it's not near us." ”
As soon as the words fell, a row of earth-shattering artillery rumbles in their ears, shaking everyone almost deaf.
The sailors exclaimed together, "The Black Pearl is here!"
The captain was furious, "Don't shout, a bunch of fools!
The first mate said, "Captain, it's in the direction of our ship at ten o'clock, let's get out of the way." ”
"It's too late to escape, the angle of the Black Pearl's cannon just now must be in the opposite direction to us, so it didn't hit us. The captain's eyes slowly flashed with a fierce light, "Now we must beat them before the gunfire on the other side of the ship hits." ”
The first mate immediately shouted, "Ten o'clock, starboard full gun, ready!"
Poof!
Poof!
Puff! Puff!
Puff pass! Puff pass! Puff pass!
......
Suddenly, there was a dense and strange sound from the Black Pearl's location.
York muttered, "What is this sound, and how does it sound familiar?"
Immediately there was a sailor's interface, "Of course it's familiar, didn't you make this sound when you fell into the water two days ago?"
After a few words, there was a brief silence on the Thunder.
York exclaimed first, "It's that Maori, that wizard...... No, no, he is really a messenger of God, dealing with the people on the Black Pearl. ”
The sailors also reacted, and cheers rang out like a tsunami.
"No wonder the Black Pearl hasn't fired a second round of artillery fire in our direction," said the first mate. Well, we're just attacking hard. ”
York objected loudly, "Stop the shelling!" God's messenger is picking up those pirates, didn't the cannon kill him too?"
The first mate insisted, "You think he can deal with the pirates of the whole ship alone, and it is only right to destroy the Black Pearl while he is causing temporary chaos over there." ”
The captain nodded, his right hand slowly raised.
York grabbed him by the arm and shouted, "Captain, we can't shoot, we still have to count on God's messenger to show us the way!"
Everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of awakening.
The captain put his hand down in embarrassment and coughed, "Don't fire for the time being." ”
