"Did you kill Henrik?" John asked through gritted teeth! The relationship between Henrik and him cannot be said to be the "best", but after taking up positions on the "Elona" at the same time, the two of them got very close and were indeed good friends. 【Read the latest chapter】
"No... I think you should understand one thing. Henrik is indeed my uncle. His full name is Marquis Henrik Van Dyke Clifford. My uncle died of a sudden illness. , my doctor told me that his internal organs had long been necrotic."
"Marquis..." John was silent. Henrik concealed his identity, disembarked from the ship midway, and commissioned burial at sea... countless clues were strung together like pearls. "So you used your uncle's body to poison you?"
"Sorry, I need to explain that it was also my uncle's idea. You should understand that I am not trying to shirk anything, I just want to clarify a fact. You know, when I heard that he wanted to use his own body to implement the follow-up plan , I'm shocked too! I don't know why uncle hates you so much... But personally, I admire the talents of Mr. Workman and all the members of the 'Opera House' very much. If you can surrender, I can appoint you Come be my lieutenant...and we can treat you right away, the doctors and medicines are on my ship.”
"You..." John looked at his more than a hundred men who were still alive, and finally lowered his head. "You send someone to rescue them, and I will surrender."
"I'm sorry," Clifford shook his head with a regretful expression. "The treatment drugs... are really expensive. I only prepared three doses."
"Then I'm sorry, but I won't abandon my companions and escape alone." John gripped the scimitar and musket, and turned his back to Clifford. The sudden revelation did cause a commotion among the sailors on the ship. Although many people were too weak to move, they could still cast angry glances at John. John bowed his head deeply in front of the crowd and said "I'm sorry" loudly without making any excuse for himself.
When he turned around again with staggering steps, he stood alone at the front. Even the sailors who glared at him had complicated expressions in their eyes.
At this time, the first mate appointed by John couldn't help but stood up. He said loudly: "Look at our captain! Look at him... He held a sea burial for his deceased partner. This is loyalty; he was also sick. But he puts all the responsibilities on his own shoulders. This is responsibility. At any time, he stands in front of us with a gun and a machete. This is bravery. Given the chance of life, he chooses to be with us. This is fearlessness in the face of death. What more can we ask for from a captain like this?!"
These words did inspire a little morale, allowing everyone to hold on to their scimitars.
But the fact is that the enemy has not attacked. This is the fundamental reason why they can persist. Even just standing there, John felt weak and broke into cold sweats. The disease was devouring his body, energy, and everything. . If the confrontation continues like this, it may collapse without attacking, and everyone will not have much physical strength to persist.
Since he was rejected, Clifford said no more. He signaled the entire fleet to continue waiting, and then returned to the captain's cabin alone.
Clifford really admired John's talent. But the person he wants more is-Lu Yuan! He clearly knew how unruly that man was and how amazingly talented he was. He believed that he had enough skills to tame this fierce horse and let him fight for him.
Clifford also has his own ambitions, but he lacks the team that LeBron has accumulated over decades. It was difficult for him to balance both handling politics and commanding battles. He always wanted to hand over command of the sea to others. So he urgently needs Lu Yuan and his "opera house". That's a talent pool that is coveted across Europe.
Of course, there is also the scroll in Lu Yuan's hand, which can ensure that the Clifford family will prosper again for decades.
It was precisely for this reason that he suppressed the requests of governors from various places to hunt down Lu Yuan and Li Huamei, allowing them to drive around on the yacht with arrogance. Don't forget that Lu Yuan and Li Huamei both have super wanted warrants hanging on their heads. Many people know their locations clearly.
Therefore, Clifford was not in a hurry to attack the "Elona". Lu Yuan and Li Huamei's cruise ship was nearby. According to the way Lu Yuan does things, he will definitely find a way to come to the rescue.
In that way, the three most precious treasures in his plan are the scroll, the "Opera House" and the "Elona". You can get it together...
John Workman closed his eyes and leaned his body on the foremast to rest for a while. The coughing had almost killed him, and regret was gnawing at his heart. He didn't know why Clifford didn't attack, but he could guess that this was a trap, so there was no doubt... The only one who was qualified to fall in, and would definitely fall in, was the captain.
There was a bitter taste in his mouth, and he didn't know if it tasted like blood. John didn't know if he should give up, commit suicide or something. But he knew that he was just part of the bait. Everyone knew how much Lu Yuan liked the "Elona". This is a ship he named after his wife, and Lu Yuan will never give up. For the sake of this ship, he will step in through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
John rested for a short while, then couldn't help but open his eyes and look toward the east - the direction where Doug the Parrot left.
Suddenly, he subconsciously stood up straight, rubbed his eyes, and his mouth opened wide in disbelief.
Not only him, but also the surrounding ships and the crew behind him caused a large-scale commotion. Countless people shouted and exclaimed, rushing to the east side of the ship and looking over there. .
Even Clifford, after receiving the report, quickly came out of the captain's cabin and looked through a telescope.
Seeing his imageless look with a big mouth, John smiled happily! He suddenly began not to worry at all - the captain was the captain! When had he ever needed anyone to worry about him?
In the distant sky, I saw a horse carrying two passengers kicking across the sea and galloping towards this side!
*******
After Parrot finished retelling what happened on the "Elona" and looking at the ship surrounded by layers of warships from a distance, Lu Yuan had clearly guessed the essence of the story.
After all, in the near future, using bacteria and viruses as weapons is nothing new.
The "Blue Bird" arrived about two nautical miles away from the encirclement. Lu Yuan put down the boat on the ship and stood aboard with Li Huamei. Lu Yuan patted the hull of the "Blue Bird" with some regret. It would take four hours to use "Blackbeard's Rum Bottle", which was obviously not suitable for the current situation.
"The journey is over..." Lu Yuan stretched out his left hand. The emerald green arc of the wooden ring on his ring finger spread and enveloped the entire "Blue Bird". In the next moment, in addition to the emerald green splendor flying in the sky, the "Blue Bird" Disappeared into thin air.
Lu Yuan sent her directly into Alona's space.
"This...is this the method of an immortal?!" Li Huamei said in surprise.
She has always only discussed martial arts and chanting the wind and the moon with Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's level of martial arts that made her admire her was unimaginable, but under his careful guidance, Li Huamei had already gotten a glimpse of it. In addition, she also knew that Lu Yuan had eight invisible arms, as well as some tricks he usually did, such as retrieving objects from the air, making fire in water, using mustard seeds, and alchemical alchemy.
She always thought that the so-called immortals were nothing more than this. But have you ever seen such a great supernatural power? !
"As a member of the Five Fireball Cult, I can tell you responsibly that the captain knows many things!" Doug the Parrot boasted every opportunity. After finding Lu Yuan, it immediately felt much more relaxed. I feel that I have handed over the responsibility and there is nothing to do next. After all, I am just a bird, and I can just be responsible for making jokes. When it comes to fighting, there will be a fool who rushes in front... As for whether that fool is the captain, I personally have no comment.
Before Li Hua Meigen could reply, she saw Lu Yuan waving his arms, and the big bronze book on his waist floated automatically, and the windless book began to turn the pages automatically. As Lu Yuan and the book sang together strangely, a black horse with four hooves riding on the clouds and smoke suddenly appeared on the sea!
Lu Yuan took out the "Yunlong Spear", got on his horse, and then rode to the front of the boat like a general on horseback. He extended his arm to Li Huamei and said, "Admiral Li, can I invite you to ride with me?"
"Of course!" Li Huamei was extremely surprised when she saw the black horse walking on the sea as if it were on the ground. Lu Yuan today was like a fairy possessed, and he used all kinds of magical methods in an endless stream, so he accidentally agreed in a daze. When Lu Yuan held her hand, she realized that she was still wearing a lake-colored dress. How could she ride a horse? Lu Yuan pulled gently without any explanation. Li Huamei jumped up involuntarily, sat sideways on the saddle in front of Lu Yuan, and leaned on Lu Yuan's chest.
"Drive!" Lu Yuan shouted, and the horse under him immediately parted from the water, let go of its hooves and galloped!
Doug the parrot shouted in surprise and flew ahead to lead the way.
The horse galloped wildly, and Li Huamei, who was sitting sideways, couldn't help but lean back and lean on Lu Yuan's chest. At close range, he saw Lu Yuan holding a scarred spear and looking ahead with firm eyes. Hearing his heart beating steadily and powerfully like a gong, Li Huamei felt that she was in a trance and dizzy.
A man, a woman and a bird rushed towards dozens of warships!

ps: I want to say a few words. Some book friends feel that the Caribbean volume is too long, and they wish I could just "click" it and end it today. But according to the outline, there is a small tail here, which I need to finish well before I can move on to the next volume.
When writing a book, the author must have a complete outline and ideas. If he revise it at random, the final result will definitely be a mess and a eunuch. I have seen the readers' thoughts, but the change of the outline is not advisable, sorry.
Caribbean Volume will end during the National Day holiday, Jiang Zi.
