Assassin’s Adventure
Chapter 23: gray fog
Gordon looked at his information panel, which contained only the most basic data.
Gordon (Long Jikun)
Health: 3 (+1)
Armor: 2 (+2)
Attack Power: 2 (+0)
Seeing him roll his eyes, his animus seems to be a fake, there is no more text introduction, just some simple data, the specific role can only be tried by yourself.
If you say that the attack power is worth two points when you are unarmed, you can still understand it, but how can you understand that the life value is 2, will you die if you take two attacks? Armor is easy to understand.
In order to verify some guesses, Gordon had to find a dagger and was ready to slash his arm.
"I'm really crazy. In order to verify these data, I was going to give myself a knife. I don't know, I thought I was going to self-harm."
After confirming that no one came in at this point, Gordon began to aim at his arm, and then stroked it gently.
An inexplicable repulsive force came from the skin, and this tiny force could not pierce the skin at all.
Seeing this completely unscientific scene, Gordon's eyes widened. What the **** is this? The gift of God, or a high-tech thing like a repulsion shield?
He used more strength, and the repulsive force gradually increased, reaching a zero threshold, the repulsive force no longer increased, and the blade finally touched the skin, and a bloodstain appeared.
The repulsion brought by two points of armor is not too big, but if it is in battle, it can completely reduce the damage and suppress the slashing from the enemy to the acceptable range of the body, instead of being instantly lost due to pain. combat power.
This is just an improvement brought by a shark skin, which is a bit against the sky, but he is not going to try this thing about life value. If there is a battle or injury in the future, he will learn about this thing.
The night gradually became deeper, and the ship set sail again. The wind filled the sails, and the speed of the whole ship was increased to eight knots just in the downwind, and continued towards Port Royal. The time lost during the day can be recovered here.
Most of the sailors have rested at night, a small number of sailors are on night duty, and a standby helmsman is responsible for continuing to travel according to the compass in the dark night.
The next morning, Gordon was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
"Gordon, something is wrong."
It was Coolidge who came, with a very worried expression.
Gordon also realized that the problem is a bit serious. Coolidge has been sailing at sea for so many years. If he feels troublesome, it must not be a trivial matter.
Gordon put on his coat, opened the door of the captain's room, and walked out.
"what happened…"
Before you even ask the question, you can see that the ship is completely gray and white, shrouded in fog, and it is easy to lose your way when sailing. The compass can only determine the general direction, and it is impossible to predict whether it will hit a reef, a small island, or not. Ships, even continents.
"Stop the boat!"
Gordon decisively ordered that the fog in the sea is a very dangerous weather. It is not common in the rainy season in the Caribbean. All sea fog depends on the temperature drop before condensation. In June, the Caribbean is in a hot season. At times, this fog is simply incredible.
"Can't stop, Gordon, you may not know what this is, but I've heard of it."
There was some panic on Coolidge's face, and he couldn't hold back.
"What is it, tell me."
Gordon stepped forward and squeezed his shoulders, trying to calm him down.
"Black Pearl."
"What?" Gordon felt shocked when he heard the name. Of course he knew what the Black Pearl was. Among the Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack's pirate ship, the fastest ship in the world, no one, what exactly is it? Situation, is Captain Jack also intruding?
"Gordon, there is such a legend at sea that there is a ghost ship in the Caribbean Sea. When it appears, it is accompanied by gray-white sea fog. They have extremely powerful firepower, the most vicious pirates, and almost no one can escape their attack. But it was never confirmed because none of the ships were spared and only a few lucky sailors survived to spread the story."
"Don't worry about Morgan, it's just a legend, isn't it? No one has confirmed it."
But Coolidge had already begun to tremble and his face was pale.
"It's true. Every year, about forty ships disappear in the gray fog. The Pearl is called a non-existent ship, and it's just the captain's words to comfort the sailors."
Gordon squinted at Coolidge. If it was just a legend, it would be impossible for such a captain to be so afraid. He must know something.
"You've seen gray fog before, right?"
Hearing Gordon's words, Coolidge was shocked and brought his mind to September six years ago.
At that time, he and another ship were running the work of transporting metal minerals from the Gulf of Guinea to Havana. However, the sailboat belonged to a Spanish merchant ship, and had a larger hull and a larger cargo capacity. It is considered by Coolidge to be the biggest competitor.
"Krin, have you seen that **** Spanish merchant ship?"
Coolidge filled the sea with binoculars to find the merchant ship. He had to ensure that he arrived at the next port before the other party, because every time he followed the other party, and every time he arrived at the port market, because the other party purchased A lot of ore, the market price is higher, of course, let him grit his teeth.
In order to get ahead of the other party, when he was in Abidjan, he didn't even buy the goods, so he set sail directly, just to get back to the Caribbean Sea in front of the opposite ship, otherwise the price of his own goods would be suppressed at a certain price. Very low, then there is no profit at all.
Kling climbed up the mast's watchtower, looked at the sailing ship in the distance, and the clear Spanish flag appeared in the telescope, proving that it was the ship they were looking for.
"Captain, about twenty-five nautical miles from two o'clock."
"Go on, sailors, spread the oars, and we'll catch up with the ship."
…
The speed is definitely better than that of the Spanish sailboat, and it is under the acceleration that has already extended the row, but it is helpless to be in the crosswind of the north. The larger hull of the Spanish sailboat ensures that it is less affected by the wind. .
No. chased for a day, but in the end it only caught up with ten nautical miles.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a rare heavy fog on the sea. At that time, no one realized what it was, but Coolidge continued to spread the sails at full speed with his knowledge of this sea area. The Spanish sailboats may slow down or veer off course in this fog, and this is their best chance to surpass
