Assassin's Journey

Chapter 41
"There is no need, Angelica, there is no chance," Blackbeard shook his head and sighed helplessly, "The mermaid captured by Su Yu is the king among mermaids, now, They must be out in force, looking for her everywhere, if we want to catch one now, it will be tantamount to asking for a dead end."

"What's more..." Blackbeard raised his chin, and motioned to Angelica for the crew members who had collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move at all, "Even if we wanted to, we're powerless."

"But, Dad, the prophecy said..." Angelica was so anxious that her eyes were a little wet.

"There is no prophecy, Angelica," Blackbeard interrupted Angelica, waving his hand, "Now, I finally understand what Su Yu means."

"What?" Angelica frowned, "Did Su Yu say anything to you?"

"Yeah, that day..." Blackbeard shook his head, lost in memory.

That day, in the captain's cabin.

Su Yu withdrew the Hidden Blade on Blackbeard's forehead.

"Why didn't you do it?" Blackbeard asked strangely after heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's in it for me to kill you?" Su Yu asked speechlessly, rolling his eyes.

"Eh..." Blackbeard naturally couldn't tell Su Yu how much reward he could get for killing himself, so he had to wait speechlessly for Su Yu to make the request first.

If you think about it, you know that Su Yu didn't kill himself, it must be because there is something to do by himself, not because of some ridiculous reason of "no good".

Blackbeard thinks so.

But in fact, the reason why Su Yu didn't kill him was really because it didn't do any good.

Of course, in addition to this, part of the reason is because he has the title of 'Blackbeard'.

Although Su Yu didn't really regard him as the black beard, there are still some psychological factors affecting it.

"Would you like some wine?" Su Yu took out a lot of Red Star Erguotou, "This wine is delicious."

After a while, Blackbeard became a little drunk.

And Su Yu hasn't.

"Why are you going to the Fountain of Youth?" Su Yu poured himself a bottle of Erguotou again, wiped his mouth, and planned to remind Black Beard.

"I learned a prophecy... According to the prophecy, I will be killed by a one-legged man," Blackbeard took a big mouthful of Erguotou and said with a sigh, "So, I need to find the fountain of youth and get the immortality. magic!"

"Hehe, prophecy," Su Yu shook his head and smiled disdainfully, "prophecy is the most useless thing."

"What do you mean?" Blackbeard's voice was somewhat vague, "Don't you believe in prophecy?"

"What's the use of prophecy?" Su Yu rolled his eyes, "If you believe in the prophecy, it means that the prophecy will come true, and no matter how hard you try, you can't stop the prophecy from coming, so what's the point of your efforts? It's better to find a place to die."

"And if you don't believe in prophecy, what's the difference between hearing this and not hearing it?" Su Yu continued, "The so-called prophecy is just adding a psychological hint to yourself, and this is likely to lead to Your actions were biased in that direction, thereby causing the so-called 'prophecy' to come true."

"You're right," Blackbeard sighed, already half drunk, "but I'm still a little flustered, so I still want to go to the Fountain of Youth!"

"Go wherever you want, don't make excuses," Su Yu picked up a bottle of wine again and finished blowing, "There is no prophecy, what you do is your own decision, don't listen to the so-called prophecy, then It means that you define your life on someone else's frivolous words."

"Okay... well said..." Blackbeard, who was already drunk and unconscious, agreed as if he was babbling in a dream.

"You're not him," Su Yu looked at the black beard who was completely drunk, and said something that the black beard in front of him couldn't understand at all, "It's not like him at all."

"Edward, if there is no gold in this world, we would already be heroes!"

The black beard's last words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

Su Yu picked up a bottle of wine again, and drank it directly like drinking water.

Until then, the cynical temperament on his body gradually disappeared, and the hidden heaviness slowly emerged.

Then, Blackbeard woke up slowly again, Jack knocked on the door, and the three of them drank together.

"Don't be bound by the prophecy," Blackbeard shook his head, "Then, since there is no chance now, let's go back."

"But that prophecy..." Angelica was still very worried.

"Don't care about his bullshit prophecy! My life, could it be that the so-called mere prophecy can be concluded?" Blackbeard laughed loudly. At this time, he finally once again had the reputation that matched his pirate king. qualifications, "I don't believe that anyone can take my life on my 'Queen Anne's Avenger'!"

So, Blackbeard and his party returned directly to the place where the boat stopped, and after realizing that there was no mermaid nearby, they took everyone away.

In this way, Blackbeard and Barbossa, who came to seek revenge, got separated by accident.

………………

After Jack used his magical compass to find out the direction, Su Yu set off with him.

First of all, it is natural to get the two silver holy grails, after all, they are necessary for the ceremony.

However, before setting off, Su Yu had to settle another matter.

Asking Jack to wait for him in place, Su Yu disappeared into the air under Jack's gaze.

Jack: "???"

Looking at the doll he had already got, Jack thought for a while, looked around for a while, turned around step by step, and tiptoed away.

Su Yu came to the system space.

Immediately, he was shaken by the scene in front of him and wanted to have a nosebleed.

Even with extremely rich experience, Su Yu still has a male instinct when the heroine is a peerless beauty.

When mermaids get out of the water and land on land, their tails turn into feet.

In other words, when on land, mermaids are no different from humans.

The only difference is that mermaids become weaker on land.

However, for the Empress in Mermaid, this weak debuff seems insignificant.

How did Su Yu know?
When he saw Su Ningqing stepping briskly, walking around the living room of the villa curiously, and being startled by triggering the switch of the smart home from time to time, he naturally knew it.
