Chapter 1 The Unfading Green Hat

Clearly, as long as Katic and Jack Sparrow lived, the green hat on Lord Fogg would never fade. For him, his previous affection had become a huge joke, a humiliation that could only be washed away with blood—his own or his enemies'!

Of course, this didn't mean Lord Fogg would let Fang Senyan off the hook, or that some miraculous "Brother, thank you for taking care of the slut" scenario would occur. He was also on Lord Fogg's hit list. As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father and seizing one's wife were two unsolvable grudges, and Fang Senyan had the honor of occupying one. However, in terms of the degree of hatred, the handsome and unlucky guard Katic and the suave Captain Jack Sparrow were definitely at the top. Before dealing with them, as long as Fang Senyan didn't deliver himself to Lord Fogg's doorstep, the green-hatted gentleman probably wouldn't actively seek him out.

Bacon, who had witnessed Lady Fogg's memories, understood the noble Lord Fogg's feelings. Although Bacon desperately wanted to get his hands on the "Endless Golden Pouch" to play with and study, he considerately stood aside in silence. Instead, Lord Fogg主动 raised his head, looked at him with lifeless eyes, and said indifferently:

"Take it. It's your deserved reward."

As he spoke, he casually tossed the "Endless Golden Pouch" over. Bacon was immediately overjoyed and reached out to catch it. But at the instant before he received the "Endless Golden Pouch," Lord Fogg suddenly drew the eerie ice-blue rapier from his waist and thrust it out like a viper spitting its tongue! Bacon's pupils immediately contracted. A ball of black light formed in his left hand in an instant and shot towards Lord Fogg with a "bang."

But Lord Fogg didn't dodge or evade, allowing the ball of terrifyingly corrosive energy to hit his right chest. Pale yellow smoke immediately billowed out from his flesh and clothing, which crackled as they burned. However, Lord Fogg's rapier had already mercilessly pierced through the precious Endless Golden Pouch and then stabbed into the old man Bacon's right hand. A layer of pale blue ice immediately凝结 on that hand, and then quickly cracked!

The old man Bacon cried out in pain. It was unclear whether it was because his right arm was completely ruined or because his heart ached at the destruction of the Endless Golden Pouch. But at this moment, the owl in the box that Bacon had brought let out a shrill cry, then turned red, hot, and then exploded violently, releasing a dense smoke. Bacon seized the opportunity to cover his mouth and nose with his remaining left hand and quickly fled outwards. But just as he was about to escape to the dungeon exit, he felt the ground shaking slightly. Immediately afterward, wisps of blue smoke drifted in the air, and a giant horse charged in, lowered its head, and heavily撞击ed into Bacon's body. It was the huge demon horse, Mermol!

After being撞击ed by this, the old man Bacon flew five or six meters through the air! During the fall, he made multiple intimate contacts with the hard steps and protruding walls. At least seventy or eighty bones throughout his body were broken, and his frozen right arm had already shattered like ice, broken off at the shoulder, with the cross-section displaying a very strange cyan-purple twisted color, looking as if the bones, muscles, and blood vessels were凝结ed together. The blood gurgling from his mouth had already dyed his chest red.

After all, he was only a part-time alchemist and black magician, and his physique was far from reaching the level of a warrior.

At this time, Lord Fogg's figure emerged from the smoke in the lower level. His hair had turned grey. After seeing the large, corroded wound on his chest, the deathly grey look on old man Bacon's face suddenly gained a hint of understanding:

"Cough, cough, cough... So, you, you have already abandoned..."

Lord Fogg's eyes were cold, completely devoid of the vitality of a living person:

"I regret having to end your life, but the Fogg family does not go back on its word. I will bury the Endless Golden Pouch with you."

After hearing these words, a look of relief and joy appeared in old man Bacon's eyes, and then quickly涣散, finally dying. Lord Fogg turned and mounted the monstrous giant horse, Mermol. His grey hair fluttered in the wind, and patches of white frost凝结ed wherever he went. His voice, as if it had been撞击ed a thousand times in his chest, was transmitted and覆盖ed the entire castle in an unparalleled manner:

"Katic~~where are you?"

Looking at the lazy guards wandering around the streets, Fang Senyan was quite surprised. It made sense that Lady Fogg's body had been sent into the castle nearly six hours ago, which was enough time to do anything. But life in Tortuga Castle was no different than usual. According to the normal procedure of this world, even if the murderer could not be found, hanging black纱 and firing cannons in mourning were essential procedures after the death of the Lady.

"Could it be..." A thought flashed through Fang Senyan's mind like lightning. Prolonged silence implied a terrifying爆. Such a slow response time could only represent two extremes: one, that those in Tortuga Port Castle did not take the Lady's death seriously at all; the other, that the master of the castle was deeply immersed in this grief, and because he could not find the real culprit, he had fallen into utter despair—the most typical consequence of this way of thinking being瘋狂 destruction!

At the thought of this, Fang Senyan immediately realized that choosing to stay here might not be a wise decision. Because if the situation developed as he had guessed, Tortuga Castle would undoubtedly be a powder keg with a lit fuse! The closer one was to it, the greater the damage one would encounter. If he wanted to completely avoid the risk, then hiding in the undeveloped area of the island according to the previous plan would undoubtedly be the best choice. But the chaos of the situation also meant that the more opportunities there were to fish in troubled waters. If Fang Senyan wanted to snatch chestnuts from the fire, then immediately returning to the Bell and Goblet was the best choice!

The sky gradually darkened, and the bustling Tortuga Port was still brightly lit, with the aroma of rum and grilled meat floating in the air. Fang Senyan stood on the bow of the Bell and Goblet, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little迷惘 about the situation. He felt that a huge storm should be brewing in this port, but when the storm would strike was completely uncertain. This feeling of anxious waiting was the most torturous, but Fang Senyan could not but wait, had to wait!

A line of fire suddenly ignited in the darkness! It inexplicably reminded one of the blood gushing out after one's neck was slit. Immediately afterward, the fire spread out, fierce and煊赫, extending at a speed like a flood, swallowing all the nearby houses in an instant. Obviously, the arsonist had made very careful arrangements and deployments beforehand.

In the raging fire, a huge, muffled sound came from afar, as if there were two large hands in the sky, monotonously clapping against each other.

There was an indescribable momentum, slowly rising and酝酿ing like the rising tide.

That magnificent feeling seemed as if it wanted to swallow the entire world!

In the blazing fire, it reflected sails that seemed to be soaked in darkness, a slender and aesthetically pleasing streamlined hull, and a chaotic battle scene woven on it.

The two sides fighting were none other than the Tortuga Port guards and the pirates!

The Black Pearl was ambushed!

In Fang Senyan's eyes, a flame-like and洪炽 expression burned through. He took a deep breath, wanting to suppress the tumultuous mood like the waves of the Caribbean Sea. At this time, a large number of pirates had already觉了 the abnormality and poured onto the deck one after another, pointing in a panic at the Black Pearl in the distance.

In the leaping fire, one could vaguely see that although the pirates on the Black Pearl were resisting very stubbornly, they were suffering heavy casualties due to the sudden attack and were retreating steadily. At this moment, a white knight calmly策ed his giant horse and came, easily ascending the Black Pearl along the erected ramp. His expression even revealed a bit of leisure, as if he had come aboard simply to observe the scenery. But for some reason, upon seeing this figure, everyone's heart involuntarily uttered a low wail.

An ominous hiss.

"Jack Sparrow, where, is, he?" The white knight lowered his head while riding his horse and spoke in a flat tone. His voice had a heavy nasal sound, as if he had a stuffy nose from a cold. Although he was nearly two or three kilometers away from the Bell and Goblet at this time, everyone here could hear this voice! But none of the pirates on the Black Pearl answered. Immediately afterward, a dazzling flare was shot into the sky from the bow of the ship, exploding into a凄厉 scene in the air.

"It's the watch flare!" A senior old pirate exclaimed, "The Black Pearl is asking for reinforcements!"

The watch flare was a prop possessed only by armed merchant ships that had concluded a covenant with Britain. As long as both parties had ever had an agreement for mutual assistance, they could ask their allies for assistance in an emergency. Given that the Queen of England had issued letters of marque to many merchant ships at that time, some armed merchant ships兼職ed as pirates. In the later period, although British ships occasionally fought among themselves at sea, they often would not use lethal force. Once they encountered external conflicts, they could basically unite against foreign enemies and help each other. The watch flare was also common among official fleets and pirates.
