The Witcher: Son of the Planes
Chapter 20 The End of the Hero
The sea water at night was very cold, and Jack shivered from the cold.
Rose was tired after a day, and fell asleep on the broken board.
Jack exhaled, feeling that the part below his legs was very stiff, and his chest and waist were powerless, but he still slowly pushed the board, drifting with the ocean current, looking at his beloved woman, Rose, sleeping peacefully, Jack closed his eyes contentedly.
Rose seemed to feel something in her dream, and woke up. Seeing Jack with his eyes closed, Rose hurriedly shouted: "Dear, dear."
Jack opened his eyes and looked at Rose, "What's wrong, Rose, did you have a nightmare?"
"No, but I seem to have dreamed that you disappeared." Rose said anxiously.
"Hey, I'm here, it's okay, we still have to go back to the island."
Hearing Jack's strong answer, Rose was relieved.
"But if we drift like this, when can we get back to the island of repentance." Rose thought to herself.
...
"Admiral, look, there seems to be someone in front." The guard shouted.
"Hmm? ... Who could it be?" Hedram Burgess thought.
"When the ship approached, I found that it was a man and a woman, but due to the limited light, I couldn't see who they were."
"Who are you? Do you need help? We are the Denton Navy." The guard shouted.
Because it was dark at night, Jack and Rose didn't realize that a large ship was coming until Hedram came closer.
Before they were happy, they heard the news that it was the navy. Jack's face was ashen, and Rose was sweating all over, looking terrified.
...
"Colin, right, you are lucky, you can be assigned to our team as soon as you leave the training team. Our team is the elite of the whole leader, much better than those pikemen and musketeers. You should follow our Lord Joshua."
Colin smiled. He hoped to be assigned to the scout team to increase his knowledge and skills. As for Lord Joshua, he would catch up with him sooner or later.
...
Hedram Burgess looked at Jack and Rose in the sea quietly and said, "Surrender, Jack. A man should have the courage to admit defeat. You have been abandoned by your men."
"You also want to catch me and collect the reward?" Jack said with a sneer.
"Humph, birds of a feather."
Hedram did not argue, but just said, "I am a navy, you are a pirate, it is only natural for me to beat you, since you have failed, surrender is your only way."
"Admiral, please let us go, we have nothing, we will find an uninhabited island in the future, and live out the rest of our lives. We will not rob again, and we will not hurt anyone." Rose begged bitterly.
Glancing at Rose, Hedram did not speak.
"Don't beg him, Rose, if they didn't make us unable to survive, who would want to be a pirate?" Jack roared.
...
"I'm sorry for some people's wrong policies, but this is not a reason for you to become a pirate and burn, kill, rape and plunder. Accept the punishment, Jack."
"Haha, forget it."
"Rose, you have to live well, you must live."
"Hedram, if you are a man, don't make things difficult for Rose. She has never done anything bad. I hope you can promise me not to bully women."
Finally, Jack looked at his beloved Rose and let go of his hands holding the board.
Accompanying Jack's sinking body was Jack's last voice in the world. "Haha, you will never catch me..."
Drifting for most of the night, Jack had already exhausted his physical strength. It would be difficult for him to float to the surface if he let go.
Knowing that Jack was no longer alive, Rose shouted: "Jack, Jack..." Rose's heart was broken.
Hedram ordered the sailors to rescue Rose who was almost drowning, and he also admired Jack's decisiveness in his heart.
"How cruel! Is this a man's agreement?..."
"Don't worry, I, Hedram, won't embarrass a woman."
Shaking his head, the fleet headed back to the port.
...
"Master, I heard that Jack is dead. Now, we have avenged ourselves." Bob flattered.
"Haha, he should have died long ago. Jack, the damned sea rat, is finally dead now." Barto said happily.
"The sea will be much calmer now. These sea rats have affected my money. They deserve to die. When I save enough money for the title, I will find a country to build a manor. Then I will donate a title to you so that you can enjoy the happiness with me."
"Thank you, Master. You are really kind-hearted. Your generosity is as bright as the stars in the sky." Hearing Barto's promise, Bob also complimented sincerely.
"Well, we have to celebrate when we return to Auckland Port this time to get rid of the bad temper we have had in the past few months."
"As you wish, Master. Brothers should relax too."
...
Auckland Port. With the return of Commander Hedram Burgess, although Jack was not captured, the news of Jack's destruction was still passed back to the port. Hedram also made a great contribution this time, and the military will definitely send him a reward.
The first, second, third, and fourth naval fleets have received the information about Jack's demise, and they are all envious, "Humph, the blind cat caught the dead mouse, and let this kid get the advantage."
...
Hanson Tavern, Port of Auckland
"Have you heard that Jack, Jack of the Black Skull, was rebelled by his subordinates and has jumped into the sea to commit suicide."
"It seems that the Red Shark is also involved."
"Hmph, dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur, let them fight."
"Ha, it's really funny, can pirates be drowned by the sea?"
"Really, it seems that they ran out of energy and sank to the bottom of the sea."
"Really? That's great, but there is a big problem."
Drinking alone, listening to the numb voices of the crowd, Rose felt like a knife in her heart, and she really didn't have the energy to argue with them.
Rose always had a voice in her heart, "Revenge, revenge."
She didn't blame Admiral Hedram Bergs, nor did she hate those rebellious sailors, but only hated that damn Armand. It was him, his betrayal, that led to Jack's death.
"Rose?" Hansen asked
"It's the boss..." Rose answered with drunken eyes. (Rose once worked in Hansen's tavern for a while)
"Didn't you follow Jack?... I heard that Jack is gone."
Rose was silent for a while, "Boss, do you have any way? Help me, I want revenge." Rose grabbed Hansen's arm and said.
Hansen looked at Rose's expectant eyes, and his heart softened. He said, "Supernatural, only supernatural power can help you." Then he turned around and left.
After hearing Hansen's answer, Rose made up her mind to master supernatural power and seek revenge on Armand.
