Chapter 117

The atmosphere on the deck was a little strange. When Orff appeared, the scene of fierce debate in his imagination did not appear.

Orff was really like an old man in his twilight days. He was forced to retreat step by step by the fierce gunfire of the black gunners and was about to fall off the cliff.

Although Goodwin always felt that he was sure to win, the smooth progress of the situation was beyond his expectation, which made him feel uneasy.

Orff looked around again and said, "yes, you have reason to be dissatisfied. It's really a hard time, both for you and me. But what I want to say is that from today on, these hard days will be over. You ask me what I'm doing recently, and I think it's time to tell you."

The black gunner's sense of foreboding is getting stronger and stronger. Reason tells him that Orff should not continue to speak. However, now he can't find any reason to interrupt the other party. The statement before the vote is everyone's freedom. It's impossible for him to attack Orff unilaterally without allowing the latter to defend himself. So Goodwin can only comfort himself that the overall situation has been decided He has won over some people one by one, and many of them have exchanged interests with him. Such an alliance should be very stable.

Seeing that everyone's attention was now attracted, Orff said with satisfaction, "most of you and I have known each other for a long time. You should know what kind of person I am. My past has never been hidden from you. Yes, before I came to the sea lion, I used to sail with Kidd, the greatest captain in the Caribbean, Until he was arrested and hanged in London, the guys raided his home, but found only a small amount of gold and silver.

"I know you must have heard the rumor that he hid all the things he plundered in a secret place, and now I can tell you that the rumor is true."

As soon as Orff's words came to an end, there was an uproar. Few people didn't know the story of Kidd as a pirate. From 1695 to 1699, he was the most powerful pirate in the whole Caribbean. The queduff merchant he was driving had 50 guns. His powerful firepower even made many colonial harbors feel frightened. It is said that he had accumulated a lot of weapons in just five years Amazing wealth.

After his death, the whereabouts of the wealth were unknown, and his car, the merchant of quettav, was also missing.

"I've been investigating the whereabouts of that treasure since Kidd died, and now I finally have a clue. There's reason to believe that we are very close to that treasure."

Orff had to wait until there was a little less buzz before he continued, "forgive me for keeping it from you, not because I didn't believe you, but because I was worried that the news would be heard by other pirates, but now I have to confess to you."

Orff finally looked at Goodwin not far away. The latter's back was soaked with sweat and his face was pale. Just three minutes ago, he thought he was well prepared, but he didn't expect to be overturned by the other party in such an unreasonable way. As a pirate, of course, he knew how attractive Kidd's treasure was.

Even he couldn't help beating his heart at a certain moment. How many other people, his allies, are willing to stand by his side and risk losing a large part of the treasure to remove Orff.

He has been planning for such a long time, and he has been a good man for such a long time. He has been teasing the newcomers who just got on the boat and tolerating the wonderful conditions and hobbies of other allies. Now all these efforts are meaningless. Orff is really unwilling, just like a drowning man desperately trying to catch the last straw. He says, "vote, and vote I haven't lost yet

However, Orff's last words completely shattered his remaining hope, "now, who would like to sail with me to pursue the legendary treasure?"

After a few seconds of silence, the pirates burst into cheers, shouting, "treasure! a treasure house!! Treasure At this moment, everyone's face showed the color of fanaticism, no one to look at the other side of the black gunner, this moment Goodwin seems to be abandoned by the whole world.

…………

"The results come out!" Malvern rushed down from the deck for the first time and said to Zhang Heng, who was doing push ups in the cabin, "the result came out. Goodwin is sure to win, but Mr. Orff only used a few words to turn the situation around completely. You don't see Goodwin's last face. I feel a little sorry for him."

The farmer's son said excitedly, "besides, we are going to get rich this time! Do you know the guy named Kidd, the big pirate? I heard that when he was hanged, half the city of London went to watch, and now we are going to look for his treasure! "

Malvern looked around and lowered his voice. "After being tied up by those pirates, I feel like I'm living a long life every day. But now, I begin to think that maybe it's not a bad thing. It's fate that makes us board this ship."

"Oh."

The farmer's son widened his eyes. "Oh, what do you mean? If you think about the treasure left by the great pirate king, aren't you excited? Before I was on the deck, I was thinking about how to spend the money. I wanted to buy two plantations in Boston, buy a group of black slaves, and then take out all the rest of the money. You know, the woman named daisy in the Jiyuan always looked down on me. She didn't even care about the service. When I got the money, I would... ""Malvern," Zhang Heng finished the last push-up, got up to wipe the sweat on his neck, and interrupted the dream of the farmer's son. "You haven't seen that treasure. It's not too late to do anything when you see it."

"I'm sorry," the farmer's son also realized that he was a bit out of his way. The main reason was that the atmosphere on the deck was too hot, and everyone was excited by the word Kidd treasure.

This also makes Zhang Heng a little wary. Although he doesn't support Goodwin, it doesn't mean that he thinks the latter's worry is unreasonable. Orff, the helmsman, is really too close to the captain, which is not good for other people on the ship. This time, Orff also shows him how an experienced helmsman controls the crew It's not easy.

A strong captain, coupled with a sophisticated helmsman, has more control over the ship than many people think.

Compared with them, Goodwin is like a babbling child, both sides are not in the same order of magnitude, from the moment Goodwin decided to challenge Orff, his ending has been doomed.
