Chapter 190 Black flag, never lower!

The blue and white waves slapped on the beach, making a "crashing" sound.

A few nautical miles away from the port of Nassau, a sloop was gently swaying with the waves.

Rorschach, wearing only a white shirt on his upper body, sat on the side of the boat, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a bottle of rum in the other.

Judging from his slightly squinted eyes and leisurely look, one can tell how much he enjoys this moment of fishing time.

For Luo Xia, the days after retirement are the time to enjoy life.

I, Rorschach, have been plundering and governing the country for so long, can't I enjoy it? !
Of course, this is also under the premise that he has completed most of the tasks.

Before retiring, he completed the main mission "King of Pirates", expanded his fleet to seven ships, and received a reward of [-] game points.

However, what made him a little helpless was that the mission "The Fate of Nassau" was basically a failure.

Because the requirement of this task is to ensure the independence of Nassau from being ruled by any country.

At this time, Nassau has become the capital of the Pirate Republic.

Therefore, he couldn't get the quest reward of [-] game points.

Even so, Rorschach didn't pay too much attention.

Because, in the looting share of his fleet in the past few years, he got nearly [-] game points!

In his current "pocket" is a huge sum of [-] game points, waiting for him to spend it after careful consideration...

Seeing that no fish took the bait, Luo Xia was not in a hurry.

After taking a sip of rum, he handed the bottle to Edward who was sitting opposite him, and asked casually:

"How is it? Are you still used to the leader's life?"

Facing Rorschach's understatement, Edward frowned, and asked back:
"Are you sure you'd really like to just leave everything behind and go fishing and drinking every day?"

For Rorschach, who is constantly traveling through the game world, the leisure time without worrying about survival or being disturbed by tasks is extremely precious.

He doesn't care about money, status, or power.

Only such a life can remind him who he is, where he came from, and what he wants to do.

However, this point, Edward will never understand...

Therefore, Rorschach could only use another way to make Edward understand what he had done.

He raised his left hand, shook his index finger, and then corrected: "No, you are wrong. I am enjoying life!"

"I just feel like I've done so much for this country and it's time to take a break..."

Shrugging his shoulders, Edward disagreed:

"Man, I don't think so. This country is strong and prosperous because of you, and there are many places that need you. To be honest, I don't feel envious of your leisurely life."

"I understand. You are a man with great ideals and ambitions. You hope to do something great, and I firmly believe that you can do it. I have never doubted this..."

Hearing this, Edward blinked his eyes, then picked up the wine bottle, took a big gulp in his mouth, and then asked the doubts that had been lingering in his mind for a long time:
"Is that why you chose me?"

"In recent years, you have done a good job. Everyone trusts you and is willing to listen to your opinions. This is what a leader needs."

"Besides, you are the person I trust the most. If I don't choose you, who will I choose?"

"Even I don't know if I am qualified for this position, but you have full confidence in me..."

With a self-deprecating smile, Edward immediately turned serious and said:
"The British are on the move recently. According to Mary, they seem to be planning to discuss something that is not good for us. What do you think we should do?"

Facing this question, Rorschach twitched his lips, and instead of answering, changed the topic: "I can give you suggestions, but I can't tell you how to do it."

"Because, now you are the leader of the Pirate Republic, and I am not. These problems need you to think about and solve them."

"Also, today we are meeting old friends, not talking about business."

Reaching out and patting Edward's shoulder, Rorschach seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, how are Caroline and Jenny?"

Two years ago, under Rorschach's reminder, Edward returned to England and met his wife Caroline whom he had not seen for several years.

As soon as they met, the two embraced each other deeply.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, the two always miss each other.

After Edward confided his thoughts and love affectionately, Caroline resolutely left England with Edward regardless of her parents' obstruction, moved to Nassau, and started a new life.

Soon, the two people who worked hard together gave birth to a child.

It was a girl named Jenny, Jenny Kenway.

What Luo Xia didn't expect was that within a few months after giving birth to Jenny, the two of them killed each other again!

This is one of the disadvantages of backwardness.

However, for people in this era, family planning or something is too far away...

"They are all fine. It's just that the midwife told us that the baby will be born any moment."

Taking the bottle from Edward, Rorschach asked casually, "What do you plan to name the child?"

"I've discussed it with Caroline. If it's a girl, it's Irene. If it's a boy, it's Haytham."

The moment he heard the name "Haytham", Rorschach couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Haytham, in the original assassin plot, was Edward's name for his first son!
Under the great influence of Rorschach, the butterfly flapping its wings, the plot has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Pirate Republic still exists, Edward is still the new leader, and his wife and children are in Nassau.

It is foreseeable that he will not leave Nassau and return to live in the UK in the future.

In this way, his son Haytham should not become a Templar, and Edward would not be killed by several Templars in his later years.

It can be said that the existence of Rorschach turned Edward's life path that was heading towards a tragic ending, and turned a huge corner.

That being the case, Edward still gave his first son such a name.

I have to say, there are some arrangements in the dark...

At this time, the wind and waves were surging.

A pirate ship sailing through the wind and waves, departing from the port of Nassau, happened to pass by not far from the boat.

Looking at the black flag fluttering on the mast, Luo Xia couldn't help being fascinated, and murmured to himself:
"Another sailing ship, full of desire for riches and adventure, heading out to sea..."

In the low voice of Rorschach, one pirate ship after another set off from Nassau and headed for the vast sea.

And that black flag representing freedom and hope will always fly above the sea!

Never come down!
