The experience of a large ship setting sail, especially in the age of sail, was definitely a wonderful experience that Noah and Hermione had never had before.
Although the boat was slow and the smell of the port was terrible, this novel experience still attracted all the attention of both of them.
At this time, the sea is calm, the boundless sea is calm and gentle, the seagulls are hovering on the sea, and the wind with a bit of sea smell blows on the face. This feeling and experience is really great.
Noah held Hermione's hand and stood by the helm, looking at everything around him, and soon attracted Commodore Norrington's attention. Unfortunately, the two of them looked too idle.
"You rarely go to sea?" Commodore Norrington walked over to Noah and Hermione after explaining some things: "There is no need to deny that people who rarely go to sea are almost like this when they first go to sea, and you
You should live in the inland area, right?”
"Yes, it's Westminster. There is almost no chance to run to the beach." Noah smiled and nodded to Brigadier General Norrington: "But I often have the opportunity to go to Buckingham Palace or go to Downing Street.
"
"I really envy you, I haven't been back to London for a long time." Brigadier General Norrington smiled slightly when he heard this: "But why would people like you run away? Far from home, not even with guards?
Could it be that you really eloped?"
As a soldier, Brigadier General Norrington is not like Governor Swann who "guesses and doesn't say much". His cautious attitude always likes to make things clear.
What's more, the Caribbean is really far away from the British mainland. He doesn't think that he will be retaliated for some reason after provoking these two people for some trivial matter.
Everyone knows that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is especially difficult for soldiers like them to find a replacement. He is not Governor Swan and his position is so high.
"Who said we eloped?" Noah rolled his eyes when he heard Commodore Norrington's words, and Hermione also glanced at Commodore Norrington strangely: "We look like we eloped?"
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, you two do look a bit alike." Although Brigadier General Norrington's expression was serious, it could be seen that he was also a little embarrassed: "If I have offended in any way..."
"No need to apologize, you helped us, didn't you." Noah spread his hands, then glanced at Hermione and said with a smile: "We didn't elope, but it's the same in a sense. Probably I'm about to inherit a very big family.
I have power and a very high status, but I rarely accompany my fiancée, and the future is hard to predict, so..."
"..." When Brigadier General Norrington heard what Noah said, he suddenly felt that this guy was even more unreliable!
A man who is about to inherit a very powerful and high-status position, but because he has no time for his fiancée and feels that there is no time in the future, he goes to such a dangerous place without even a bodyguard?
Brigadier General Norrington felt that these two people had been taken care of by local officials all the way to the eighth floor. Otherwise, he did not think that these two people would have come to this place alive. But now he actually took these two people to the sea. It seemed that
The situation is not good.
Commodore Norrington made a decision in his heart. If things went wrong, he would leave and take the troops back. Anyway, the ones they dispatched this time were basically faster ships like the Interceptor.
In terms of firepower, there is basically nothing to do, but pursuit and escape are basically no problem, and the heavy weapon Dreadnought in Port Royal remains in place to guard against enemy attacks.
Noah didn't know what Brigadier General Norrington was thinking. He was very interested in chatting with the Brigadier General about a lot of things.
For example, what kind of treatment did Jack Sparrow, the pirate captain, receive last night? Commodore Norrington also told these things without much concealment.
To be honest, Noah still overestimated the lower limit of pirates. Just as Noah said, pirates are a group of traitors. Betrayal and other things are simply commonplace for pirates, and there is no taboo about what means they use to achieve their goals.
In other words, as long as they can achieve their goals, they don't mind using any means. It's just a matter of attracting a group of navy, which doesn't matter at all.
Therefore, although Jack Sparrow suffered some crimes, it was not as miserable as he imagined. He quickly told everything he could say without any intention of hiding anything.
Probably the only thing that made Commodore Norrington unhappy was that this damn pirate didn't know the specific direction of the Black Pearl's movements. He just said that he was able to track the ship.
"Do you believe what he says?" Commodore Norrington complained: "This pirate is not reliable at all."
"It's not a big deal to try anyway." Noah patted Commodore Norrington's shoulder nonchalantly, completely ignoring his uncomfortable expression and said, "And my fiancée and I both want to travel in the Caribbean.
, don’t worry, there will always be something to gain.”
In fact, you just want to come here to have fun. Brigadier General Norrington smiled awkwardly and did not intend to express any opinions.
A guard ran over and whispered something next to Brigadier Norrington. Then Brigadier Norrington's face became a little ugly, and Noah naturally heard what they said.
How could Noah not hear it at such a close distance, but Noah didn't expect that things would become... so interesting.
It turned out that the guards discovered Elizabeth on the ship, who thought she had concealed herself well. This discovery gave Commodore Norrington a very headache, while Noah was wondering whether the Royal Navy was so unreliable?
Is it so easy for Royal Navy warships to sneak in? Now Noah even thinks that pirates in the Caribbean are so rampant. Is it because these navies are so useless?
Governor Swann, who was far away in Port Royal, looked at the letter in his hand and was angry and speechless. It was too late for him to chase him now, because it was the fastest warship in Port Royal. What could he send to chase him? He could only hope.
I hope Brigadier Norrington and Ethan can take good care of their daughters.
"How did you get involved?"
"I am the governor's daughter."
Okay, the governor's daughter is different. Even if it's not the governor himself, no soldier would dare to offend her, right?
The troublesome thing is that it has been too long since she left port, and it is unrealistic to want her to go back. In the end, Commodore Norrington decided to free up the captain's cabin for her, and just find a few suitable guards to watch her.
.
If that doesn't work, just let Hermione accompany her, just think of it as a temporary measure.
Hermione had no intention of rejecting this, and having such a girl by her side didn't seem to be such a bad thing.
At least this girl is probably more familiar with maritime knowledge than you are, right?
In this way, Elizabeth stayed, and her appearance did not cause any trouble to Noah. Noah even felt that he had made a profit - he got a guide for free, and he was more responsible than those sailors. The most important thing was that Noah
I found that Hermione seemed to get along well with this girl.
In this case, Noah naturally wouldn't say much. Staying at the sea for too long in the beautiful scenery will make people feel bored. It would be good to have someone to talk with them, even if they are just a listener.
The process of searching for the Black Pearl was uneventful. Noah's daily routine was to take Hermione and Elizabeth to appreciate everything on the sea. Although it was uneventful, both Noah and Hermione felt pretty good.
As for Commodore Norrington, he inspects his warships every day, and most of the time other than that he spends most of his time communicating with Jack Slot or Noah.
Because he still couldn't understand what the compass-like thing in the hands of the former pirate captain was used for, and he also wanted to ask if there was a more reliable way besides this.
Noah couldn't help with this. The main reason was that he didn't know how to use a compass, but he was somewhat interested in the gold coin Elizabeth had on her.
Noah did not expect that the girl actually brought the gold coin with her, but Noah did not ask for the gold coin like her, nor did he intend to throw the gold coin into the sea.
Anyway, what they have to do now is to look for those nasty pirates, there is no need to do anything extra.
Time passed day by day, and finally one morning, just after Noah and Hermione got up from the captain's cabin, they heard a sound coming from outside the door.
"There's a boat!"
As the observer shouted, everyone woke up at this moment and cast their sleepy eyes on the observer at the highest position of the Interceptor. At the same time, following the direction he pointed, Commodore Norrington also rushed
When we got to the side of the ship, we stared into the distance.
"The black sail...is the Black Pearl!"
If it were in the dark night, the black sails could perfectly hide the whereabouts of the Black Pearl, but the black sails in broad daylight were more eye-catching. Not long after, everyone on the deck also saw the slowly appearing black
sailboat.
Looking at this majestic pirate ship in front of him, the one who felt the most was undoubtedly Jack Sparrow, the former captain of the Black Pearl. The ship he thought about day and night now appeared in front of him again, although it was still far away, but
He was certain that it was his ship.
"It's turning! They're getting ready to run!"
At this moment, the observer shouted to draw everyone's attention. When Noah and his interceptor discovered the Black Pearl, it also meant that the interceptor was discovered by the other party.
This is how it is on the sea. There is nothing to block the endless sea surface, and you can spot each other from a long distance.
At the same time, because it is wide enough and the sight is far enough, it also means that the two sides are still far apart when they find each other. Even if one side stops and the other side moves forward at full speed, it will take a long time for the two to meet.
time.
Even though the sudden appearance of the Interceptor aroused the Black Pearl's vigilance, the other party did not show any panic reaction, but calmly adjusted its direction - at the speed of the Black Pearl, it was confident that it could get rid of any ship.
The pursuit of the ship.
"Damn, he's going to run away." Brigadier General Norrington believed what Noah and Jack Sparrow said, but now he was embarrassed to find that he seemed unable to deal with it.
"Can't we get closer?" Noah tilted his head: "You don't need to board the ship, we can get as close to it as possible."
