"This is a distress letter from afar, Valentin Nolan? Do you know this person?" Bartholomew looked down at the letter in his hand and asked.

Walker's face suddenly became so ugly, it must have something to do with this letter.

But when he checked the letter over and over again, it was just an ordinary distress letter. Although there were not many distress letters at sea, it would not cause the calm helmsman on their ship to suddenly change his expression like this.

Bartholomew tossed and thought for a while, and the only one who could find clues on the letter was the writer marked at the end of the letter—Valentin Nolan.

Because he seemed to remember that Valker's full name was Valker Nolan.

"He's my brother!"

For joining, Valk has never talked much about it. He is rather dull and doesn't like to talk about family affairs, so no one knows that he has an older brother who is also a pirate over the years.

"Our family was very poor back then, and we came here together as hired laborers. We should have been hired by the same farmer, but we didn't know what went wrong. After we got off the boat, we were divided into two Different plantations." Valk's eyes sank slightly, his pupils became a little deep, "Later... when I escaped from the plantation and wanted to find Van Lundin to escape together, I didn't expect that he had already left the plantation."

"I've been looking for him all these years, but I didn't expect him to become a pirate." Walker looked into the distance and murmured, "Yes, he became a pirate..."

And there was an accident...

Walker wondered why the other party didn't come to him back then, so he went into the sea and became a pirate?Of course, he is more concerned about the safety of Fan Lundin than this question, after all, the other party is his own brother.

Valk's expression didn't seem to have any ups and downs, and he seemed to be still calm. However, as a friend who has worked with Valk all the year round, Palu could see the worry in the other party's heart from Valk's eyes. He frowned slightly and said comfortingly. : "Maybe it's just someone with the same name and surname, Valker, don't worry too much."

"No, the handwriting on this is exactly the same as my brother's notes, especially the signature. He likes to put three dots in front of the name." Walker shook his head. Palu's words really couldn't comfort him. How could he? There is a note with the same name?

The letter in the bottle was written a year and a half ago, and so much time has now passed that it is very likely that Van Lundin is no longer around.But he still wanted to look for it. Walker looked at Bartholomew expectantly. If Bartholomew disagreed with this matter, he couldn't let everyone accompany him to the adventure for his brother.

In this era, receiving a distress letter in a drifting bottle and going to rescue others is considered a good talk.

But those who do this kind of thing are mostly those nobles who are free and rich, just like the very famous Duke Andrei incident back then.I heard that the British Duke Andre in the last century was wandering around the port and accidentally picked up a drifting bottle about asking for help. After picking it up, Duke Andre handed over the drifting bottle to the British government, but no one So, Duke Andre, who was bored at home, took his own fleet to the rescue. He encountered many dangers along the way, but in the end he rescued the owner of the drift bottle, a beautiful noble lady, back home. For this reason, the two also forged a happy marriage.

This thing is still being circulated to this day...

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with their pirates. They sail at sea to collect wealth and earn future living expenses. How can they spend a lot of time and energy on rescuing others?

Tapping his fingers on the guardrail behind him, Bartholomew was full of thought. The letter said that the other party's fleet encountered a storm at sea, so they took their ship to an unknown continent, where they met Many things, the most important of which is that they discovered gold mines on the mainland, but they also encountered savages, who would drive wild beasts, so that they could not escape from the island at all, and those savages raised them in captivity as Slaves, the daily workload is overwhelming...

"Valker, I can't promise you to rescue Van Lundin for the time being. Our goal now is to rob the two major ports. We have been preparing for such a long time, and we cannot give up because of the matter of Van Lundin." Basha Lomew's finger was on the kraft paper Groping around, his eyes were apologetic, "Your brother only mentioned the dimension they are in in the letter - south latitude 27, this latitude covers too wide a range, it requires us to go around the earth, which is simply a short time Things that cannot be achieved within the time limit...I am the captain, and I need to be responsible for all the crew...Valker, I am really sorry."

"You're right. Although Van Lundin mentioned gold mines in his letter, we can't mine them ourselves. What's more, without knowing the size and location of the gold mines, it's really not worthwhile to search for them blindly." Walker said. Sighing, he was a little frustrated, but quickly shook his head and cheered up and said, "You don't need to apologize. I didn't think carefully and made this request impulsively."

To circle the whole earth for a week, with their current speed, it would take more than three or four months even if they didn't find anyone. If you add that, it would take even more time to search for Valentine on land. I'm afraid There is no way to finish it in half a year.In the past six months, for the 500 people on board, even if each crew member only issued the most basic 12 silver coins per month, this is a huge sum.

Where did he get so much money?So I can only give up.

Palu patted Valk's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be so depressed, boy, your brother is just suffering a little bit now. When we were working in the plantation, didn't we work hard? On the surface, he is a hired worker, but in fact he is no different from a slave. He also works more than a cow every day. You can receive this letter, at least it means that he is still alive and doing well. Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to write Faith? There is hope in life... Maybe he will escape one day."

Pirates are looking for work on the tip of a knife, and life and death are inevitable.What's more, Van Lundin doesn't look like a good person, otherwise, how could he abandon Valk and run away alone?If it weren't for the fact that Valcke was really upset at this time, Donahue would have wanted to send that Valentine deserved the word.

"Don't think too much, I'll invite you to drink in a few days!"

From where they are now, the first supply point still needs to sail for nearly ten days. At that time, Valcke should not be so depressed. Time is the best healing medicine, and Valcke will always forget about Van Lundin. .

……

This is an ordinary island in the Atlantic Ocean, but just three hours ago, it was a beautiful and peaceful place, but now it is like hell!

The red flames are burning the entire island!Cries and cries for help rang out, and hundreds of unarmed residents on the island were besieged by a group of pirates in the center of the island square. An old priest was holding a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child and was also crowded among the crowd. The pastor, with his white hair all over his head, looked at least sixty or seventy years old. He was chanting prayer scriptures with a solemn face, while the child was tightly clutching the old pastor's robe, very nervous.

"Matthew, will they kill us?" The child asked cautiously, his face was extremely pale, he was frightened by the sudden mob.

The other small island residents around were also trembling with fear. They usually lived very comfortably on the island. Even if some pirates came here, they would just exchange some food with them. There had never been any group of pirates like this group of guys. Just like killing and robbing directly on the island!Because the residents of their island are too poor, few pirates are willing to rob a small island as poor as them.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the pirates robbed all the money on the island, they would leave the island directly and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately on the island.

But this time...

Matthew shook his head slowly, even now he can't be sure whether these guys are like other pirates, they left immediately after robbing things, looking at the houses that were burned by the fire and the people who are now lying in a pool of blood With three familiar faces, Matthew's heart was particularly heavy.

He doubted that this group of guys, after robbing the entire island for control, their next goal was to tie up all of them as slaves and sell them to slave traders, otherwise they would not be all under control.Seeing the group of guys looking back and forth at them as if they were looking at goods, Matthew was even more sure of his thoughts.

"Cecile, if you have the opportunity, you must take the opportunity to escape! Don't look back when you leave, go as far as you can escape!" Matthew lowered his head and whispered in Cecil's ear, staring ahead with vicissitudes of life.

"Matthew, you and I leave together! As long as there is a chance, the two of us will escape together!" Cecil tugged at the corner of Matthew's clothes, looked at the crazy pirates around, and said nervously.

"Cecil, you have to be obedient!" Matthew with a straight face, secretly fumbled out a gray cloth bag from his waist, and stuffed it into the boy's hand while no one was paying attention, "This time, you must listen to me If there is an accident, you can go as far as you can! There is a small boat hidden in the place where we used to fish, so you can row the boat to the next island to live."

It's a pity that before the little boy agreed, a pirate with a machete came forward with a grinning grin, and kicked Matthew hard.The old pastor suddenly bent down like a shrimp with his arms around his waist, his face pale from the pain.

"You old man, what have you been muttering here? Are you trying to confuse other people to rebel? And the rest of you, if you cry and cry again, they will all be chopped off!" The pirate spat hard and kicked again. Matthew has two feet.
