☆, freedom

Although Torres said he was waiting for her reply, the fact was that he died in embarrassment without waiting for a reply.The night of his death happened to be his birthday, and Laureano Torres, who had smugly entertained a crowd full of fame and acclaim for that day, was thrown away before he even had time to attend. Stabbed to death in the study, and when the incident happened... Irina was still in her room.When the door of her room was knocked, she thought it was a servant urging her to attend, but when she opened the door, she found that the person who walked in majesticly turned out to be Edward, who hadn't seen his face for a long time.

I don't know how he got in there.

"...Edward?" Elena's astonishment was natural, "You can't always treat the Templar's lair as your back garden, it's very dangerous."

"I don't see any danger. On the contrary, the Templars here should be careful." Edward's character and tone of voice were still the same as usual. It was obvious that it hadn't been too long since we separated last time, but she felt a sense of danger. A strange strangeness and familiarity, "How do you think about it?"

"..."

"You said last time that you would think about it when you go back." Edward paused, "Or did you say you didn't think about it at all?"

"No… I thought about it, but then something else happened and I—"

"You have no reason to stay, Elena."

Elena was still hesitating, but she suddenly realized something was wrong in Edward's words, "What do you mean 'you have no reason to stay'?... You appeared last time to kill Rogers, so this time... You didn't come here for me, you wanted to kill Torres, didn't you?"

Suddenly there was a scream from the ground floor, Elena leaned forward to open the door, and the exclamation of the people came up more clearly, Elena turned back to Edward and asked, "You didn't mean to kill, but you have already killed him!" ,Is it right?"

"Irina, I'm sorry. He's your father, but we really can't let him live, I—Irina? Irina!" Edward tried to stop Elena who ran out suddenly, "Outside very dangerous."

Yi Lianna no longer cared about any danger, she was very familiar with the terrain of the Governor's Mansion.After she ran out, she was surprised to find that there seemed to be a large number of assassins sneaking into the mansion, carrying out targeted assassinations on people who were Templars, but there was no figure of Torres in the hall, as the head of the Templars at this time But he didn't come out to preside over the overall situation, which can only show that he is dead, but there is no sign of him anywhere, including the corpse lying on the ground.

She realized that the assassination against Torres might have happened earlier, and Torres, who hadn't had time to attend the banquet, would only be in the study. After thinking of this, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Torres's study was half-covered, looking very ominous, and as she guessed, Torres was assassinated, maybe Edward did it, or other assassins, but Elena didn't care about it anymore .She slowly leaned towards the cooling body on the ground, and was not too surprised to find that Torres was still alive.

There was a sword in his heart, and the blood was constantly staining his clothes red.After seeing Irina, he persistently stretched out his hand towards her.Elena took his hand with both hands, and then said, "Father, please allow me to refuse your feelings for me, I can't have feelings for you, but...you can leave me a place in hell , I will go down to accompany you soon."

When she said this, Elena herself was surprised by her calmness, but she knew that she had to speak clearly before Torres' consciousness disappeared.

After hearing her words, a surprised light flashed in Torres' eyes.

"Are you surprised? But isn't this what you hoped for? You made me take poison for three consecutive months, didn't you just want me to be with you after you die?"

Torres spoke with some difficulty, "...you know?"

"Of course I know, aconitum, yew, bitter almonds, belladonna, henna, and jacaranda. I smelled every herb the first time I drank the wine you gave me, you There is no need to show such a regretful expression now, any ingredient in the drug is deadly, you never thought of saving my life, the weight of the poison is so light because you want me to die with you, right? ? But now it seems that you are still ahead of me."

"The reason why I am willing to take poison is because I am grateful for your kindness, even now, although you also have abominations, but I am more grateful to you. I will accompany you after death , but before I die, please allow me to be with Edward Kenway."

Torres suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hoo hoo in his throat, "...Kenway?"

"I'm in love with him, father."

The emotions that first appeared in Torres' eyes were anger and resentment, perhaps because he thought that Irina would go to accompany him soon, his expression soon turned into relief, Torres murmured said, "Then Captain Kenway has taken my treasure."

Elena didn't answer, just let go of his hand, and Torres' eyes gradually lost their luster.

He stopped breathing.

At this time Edward finally found her. He stood outside the door and looked at Elena in the door. "I know I shouldn't say that Torres deserves to die, but it is what it is. I'm sorry, Elena, But I don't regret it."

"There is no need to say anything more, Edward." Elena's stop made Edward's heart sink suddenly, but the next sentence brought him back to heaven from hell, "I understand your position, and I can understand What you did, I, like you, never thought what the Templars did was right. So... I'll go with you, Edward."

"...Elena?" Edward couldn't believe it.

"But before I go, I want to take the Crystal Skull with me."

"Crystal...skull?"

"It is the whole secret of the Observatory, the key to the function of the Observatory. Just like the legend, the Crystal Skull can monitor people's every move, so we can't let it stay in the hands of the Templars. I handed over my blood, if left alone, they can always find me through the Crystal Skull."

"The crystal skull you mentioned..." Edward gradually accepted the term, he looked at Elena who was looking for something in the room and said, "Could it be here?"

"Well, in fact——" Elena unscrewed the mechanism hidden on the bookshelf. This is a hidden compartment she found when she came to look for books before. If Torres wanted to hide something, he would probably hide it here. And when Yi Lianna reached into the dark compartment, she did touch a cold object, "I've already found it."

After she took out the crystal skull, Edward leaned over out of curiosity, "Could it be that the square-shaped insertion opening on its forehead is from a bloodletting bottle?"

Elena nodded, "I have no interest in this thing, so it belongs to you now, Edward."

Edward was a little overwhelmed by her reaction after receiving the crystal skull, "You...Aren't you sad that Torres is dead?"

"A little...but not very much, I used to respect him, but now—" Elena gave Torres one last look, then shook her head, "Let's go, Edward."

Although Edward didn't quite understand the sudden change in her attitude, he was happy to see this situation after all, so he left the study with Irina without much hesitation.

They are on a higher floor, and Irina is not as agile as Edward, so she can only leave in a normal way. Edward wants to go with her, but Irina thinks it is unnecessary, "You go back first and let Jackdaw The sailors on board get to work, and I'll follow soon."

Edward hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the pier. Ah Tabai is also here, he only knows you are my crew member, he doesn't know that you are the daughter of Torres, so you should be safe Leave, but still pay attention to your surroundings, and be careful yourself."

Elena nodded, she was only one step away from freedom, and of course she would not be careless again.

The two parted at this point, and Elena thought that no one would notice her, but the fact was exactly the opposite of what she imagined.Almost as soon as she walked down the stairs, her throat was almost cut by a silver light at the corner.The black-haired man who appeared out of nowhere pointed the tip of his thorn sword firmly at her, "Miss Irina, who were you talking to at the stairs just now? Excuse me, I think that person's voice sounds very strange." familiar."

—It was Benjamin Hornigold.

Elena wanted to speak, but someone as smart as Benjamin was too lazy to listen to her perfunctory words, "I'm not interested in who that person is, I just want to know where the skull is. I'm sure you must know, bring I'll go where the skull is, Miss Irene."

"Father would not wish to hear such a request from you."

"Don't use Mr. Torres to overwhelm me. The downstairs is in such a mess that he has disappeared. He has either run away or suffered an accident... I think the latter is more likely. Anyone can do the captain, but the skull can only do it." One, as long as I ensure that the skull is safe, I can keep the hope of implementing the creed. Lead the way, I don’t want to listen to your nonsense.” Benjamin has always disrespected the leader and looked down on the colleagues around him, but he really believed in the Templars. blueprint.

Elena slowly backed up the stairs, then turned around and walked up. Benjamin followed her with his hand hanging down holding the sword, and then he suddenly said, "What's going on on your shoulder, why...there is blood ?”

Elena touched the side of her shoulder, and sure enough, as Benjamin said, her shoulder was hot, and her hands were covered with scarlet. She probed up, and it seemed that her ear hole was bleeding.

"Nothing." She replied, and Benjamin stopped asking.

The path Irina took led to the study, but Irene didn't intend to actually take him there to see Torres' body and tell him she didn't know where the Crystal Skull was.If she dared to do this, she would definitely be slaughtered by Benjamin, so she chose to strike first. Almost as soon as she stepped on the flat ground, she suddenly pulled out her dagger and turned around and stabbed at Benjamin. Thank God she The dress she was wearing today was not too complicated, at least it would allow her to maintain her quick movements and allow her to carry a dagger in the inner pocket of the dress.

"Stupid." Benjamin quickly parried her attack, and pinned her to the wall of the corridor with his backhand. "Do you think you will be my opponent? It might be more suitable for you to turn around and run away."

"Of course I'm not your opponent, so—" The blade hidden in the sleeve popped out and pierced Benjamin's perfectly exposed throat, "I can only use this method to sneak attack you."

Blood spurted out, and these series of confrontations only happened in a split second. An unbelievable light flashed in Benjamin's eyes, and then he was pushed to the ground by Elena.Elena squatted down and looked at the wound on his throat. After confirming that it was a fatal wound, she said to Benjamin, whose eyes gradually became lax, "Do you find it unbelievable? But this is reality. Benjamin, I once had such a wound." See you as a real friend for a moment, really."

She seemed to be just talking to herself, Benjamin was dead.

She tore off a part of Benjamin's sleeve and wiped the blood from her ears indiscriminately. The effect of the sedation was gradually showing. Her earholes were hot and her internal organs hurt, but she knew that she would not die immediately.She can still stay with Edward for a while.Up to now, she has become extraordinarily decisive. She is always vacillating between Torres and Edward, but when she clearly realizes that she is about to bid farewell to this world, she suddenly no longer hesitates.

If she was about to die in the next second, who would she most want to see?

Edward of course.

She knew that in the long run, she was doomed to have no contact with Edward, but if she did make such a decision, who would be happy about it?Herself?Or Edward?Actually, no, since she is about to leave this world, let her be willful for a while.

She went down the stairs, bypassing the Templars and Assassins, left the Governor's Palace, and ran, and ran, towards the port.

It was completely dark, but her light was just coming.

According to the agreement, Edward has been waiting for her at the port.He smiled with joy when she jumped aboard his boat, but it turned to panic when he saw the blood on her clothes.Elena calmed him down with two sentences, "I met Benjamin and killed him. It's not my blood, I'm not hurt."

"That's good." Edward murmured, and then steered the boat in the direction of the Jackdaw.

Under the night, the mysterious and beautiful Jackdaw is swaying gently in the sea water. With the work of the sailors, it has gracefully inflated its sails. It is really...the most beautiful scenery in the Atlantic Ocean.

The author has something to say:

☆, new students

She finally set foot on the land of Great Inagua Island again. I don't know if it was her illusion. It looks more beautiful than before, but the number of people has dropped a lot. I don't know where the residents have moved. The pirates Also disappeared, replaced by more assassins.

There was no sign of Adéwalé on the Jackdaw, and a small group of sailors had also been changed. It seemed that Edward had recruited new staff.She somewhat misses these former companions. She couldn't give her sincerity in the past, and when she could really talk to them without any scruples, they were gone, but fortunately Edward is still there. As long as Edward can be by her side, even Even the disgusting work of eradicating barnacles and water plants is also full of fun.

There was actually another person on the island she had known for a long time, Anne Bonny.

Jelena found out that Anne was also on the island on the third day of her visit to Great Inagua.At that time, it was getting close to dusk, and in the tavern by the beach, Anne was sitting alone with a baby in her arms. It looks a little lonely.

Elena couldn't decide whether to greet her, but Annie's temperament was far more cheerful than her. After seeing Elena, Annie quickly waved to her, and now Elena could only pass by.After getting close, Elena felt embarrassed, because she and Annie were not familiar with each other, and they didn't talk much before, so they could only be regarded as nodding acquaintances, so she could only use the child in Annie's arms as the entry point for chatting.

"Is this ... Mary's child?"

"That's right." Annie said with a smile, "A healthy young man."

"Then your—" Elena remembered that Annie was also pregnant when she escaped from prison, but as soon as she said the words, she remembered that Edward had told her that Annie's child was dead, so she immediately stopped talking, but Annie's face The smile on her face had disappeared, she knew what Elena wanted to ask, and Elena quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, actually Edward told me about it, I shouldn't have mentioned it."

Annie shook her head, "If I was still in prison, they would take away the child even if I gave birth to it. Now it is in the arms of the Heavenly Father in the outside world. I am very... happy. At least it is still free, It’s just that God is punishing me in this way, telling me that I’m not worthy of being a mother, that I was smoking and drinking anyway in the first few months of pregnancy, and that’s the way it should be. . . ”

Elena didn't know how to comfort her, so she changed the subject, "Can you tell me about your situation at that time? I never understood how Mary was arrested. I didn't have time to ask in prison before, but now... No chance to ask."

She seemed to have found a worse subject to satisfy her curiosity, but Anne didn't seem to care.

"Mary is here to help us. Jack and I are both rookies at sailing. Jack didn't learn anything except drinking when he was with Vann, so Mary came to our ship for a while and wanted to teach Jack what a captain should do. , but the affairs on the ship were all managed by Mary. Later... we were attacked by the navy, but the whole ship was drunk, only me, Mary, and another young sailor were resisting the enemy. That The sailor's a nice guy, the educated kind, and I like him a lot, and Mary . . . loves him."

When Annie said this, she suddenly glanced at the baby in her arms.Elena suddenly understood, "Is that sailor the child's father?"

Annie nodded.

"...was he hanged afterwards, too?" If he had been in prison at that time, it was impossible for Mary not to have asked them to save him.

"No..." Annie denied, "he died earlier, he was shot and killed when he was on the boat, earlier than the useless Jack died. On the day of the escape, I watched from a distance on the beach in Port Royal At first glance, Jack, he is really a guy who is not worthy of being loved by others. If he can fight like a man on the boat, he won't have to be hanged like a dog after that, but... you may find it funny, I actually... ...I still love that bastard."

Elena didn't speak.

Anne also seemed a little sad after saying this, but she quickly recovered, "It seems that all the famous pirates in Nassau in the early years are dead. Do you know that Fann was also hanged?"

"Vann?" Elena was a little surprised, she hadn't heard this name for a long time.

"He seems to have been caught by the British Navy. I heard that he was still singing the song when Queen Anne awarded the honor to the pirate Drake when he was hanged. Alas, he is also a fool." Anne shook her head with a wry smile, " What do you plan to do next? You and Edward."

"He doesn't want to be a pirate anymore, he wants to go back to London... I think I should be with him."

As for the addresses of the Crystal Skull and the Observatory, Edward gave them all to the Assassin Organization. The Assassin Organization, which believes in freedom, has no intention of using this thing to control the world. They chose to send the Crystal Skull back to the Observatory, seal that place, and wait quietly. The birth of the next saint.

"That's good." Annie smiled. "You and Edward seemed to have conflicts before? Edward refused to tell me about your past, but now you can still be together...It's great."

Elena had no way of knowing who Annie was thinking of now, perhaps Jack, or Mary.

"What's next for you? Are you going to stay on Great Inagua forever?"

"No." Annie replied, "I don't seem to have told you that my father was a plantation owner, and I was living on Nassau Island to elope with old Bernie. Now... for This child, I have to show my selfish side and beg my father to take me in. I think he will be very angry, alas, but he should like this child, and I will tell him that this is my own child."

Anne spoke like a naughty little girl, and Elena couldn't help laughing, "This child... has a name now?"

"Of course." Anne showed a smug smile, "I named this child James Kidder."

"Kid?" Elena looked at her in surprise, and then understood what she meant by the name. "The real Master Kidder, right?"

"Yes, it's pretty good, right? At least I think it's pretty good." Annie murmured, then raised her head and said, "We've talked long enough, it seems like it's time to say goodbye—Edward is here to find you."

Elena nodded, then stood up, and before leaving, she carefully touched little Kid's face one last time, his complexion was very healthy, with a faint rosiness on his fair skin.The baby's facial features are far from grown, but Elena believes that he will be as handsome as his mother and more handsome than his father in the future.

The author has something to say:

☆, marriage proposal

Edward had come to invite her to dinner, but there was still some time before dinner, so they could spend a while on the beach.After the two chatted endlessly for a while, Edward suddenly said hesitantly, "Irina, I have something to tell you."

Yi Lianna faintly felt that this sentence sounded familiar, "You seem to be the opening line when you told me that you have a wife last time."

Edward became more hesitant at once, but after a while, he still managed to say the unspeakable words, "My wife left me a daughter, and she wanted to see me, so my family sent her to the Assassins our boat back to Great Inagua and she will... come back to England with us."

Elena was startled for a moment, then smiled, "This is really worse news than you having a wife in your hometown. What's your daughter's name?"

"Jenny...Jenny Scott." Edward answered truthfully, while paying attention to the expression on Elena's face, "Scott is her mother's last name."

Elena couldn't see any emotion on her face, she just nodded, "Edward, I've never heard you talk about you and your wife, can you tell me about it?"

"……you sure?"

"I won't be angry, Edward, that's all happened before you met me, and I don't blame you for it. I don't care about your dead wife, I just want to hear about your past experiences, I Just wanted to... get to know you better. I don't even know what you and the Assassin Order used to be."

Edward was surprised at her tolerance, but discussing his dead wife was not a pleasant topic after all. He obediently brought the topic back to when he was 17 years old, and started slowly from the beginning. After finishing this long story, He asked curiously about Irina's previous experiences.

This time Elena didn't lie again, just skipped the unpleasant parts of it, such as Torres' feelings for her.After finishing speaking, she suddenly mentioned her surname, "Whether it was before or now, the surname Brittany disgusts me. If I were a person of normal background, I would never have such a surname... Torres gave me that name and it always made me feel like one of his dogs."

"Do you care about this so much?" Edward raised his hand and stroked her hair reassuringly, "Then you can change your form soon."

"What's the meaning?"

Edward smiled, "I can't tell you yet, but you will know soon."

Edward didn't lie to her, she did know it very quickly, even... she knew it right away the next day.

A merchant ship from France entered the port of Great Inagua, and the island is no longer as jittery as it used to be.Because Edward had donated the island to Ah Tabai free of charge, its nature had changed from a pirate's lair to an assassin's stronghold.

In addition to the daily necessities needed by the islanders, among the cargo unloaded by the merchant ship at the port was a strange animal—a white horse.The presence of such an animal at sea seemed very strange indeed, and she soon learned that Edward had bought the horse, which made things even more strange.

"Edward, what are you buying horses for?"

Edward didn't answer her question, but after cleaning the white horse casually on the shore, he led the horse and led Elena to a secluded place on the beach. After reaching a suitable position for Edward, he He suddenly let go of the horse's rein, turned around and faced Irina... and half-kneeled down.

Elena was completely taken aback by his actions.

"Elena, I will use my hands to bring you out of sorrow and distress." Edward's actions and intentions in his words are already very obvious, and he is trying to propose to Irene.When he finished the first half of the sentence, Irene only saw Edward handing her a dagger inlaid with luxurious gemstones with both hands, "The cup in your hand will never run dry, because I will be the cup in your cup." fountain of life."

A thin silver chain was bound to the short sword, and a ring hung from the chain.

"I will use this candle to illuminate your life in the dark." After Edward tore off the ring and held the short sword backhand, he took Elena's hand and hovered the ring on her finger. point, "Now, I propose to you with this ring, will you be my wife?"

Although it was a question sentence, Edward put the ring on Elena's ring finger without even getting Elena's consent. Before that, his actions and tone of voice were very rigid, revealing the clumsiness of a pirate. After Ana put on his ring, Edward's expression suddenly came alive, as if he had turned back into himself.He kissed her ring lightly, then stood up and looked at her with a smile, "Now, you're Elaine Kenway."

"A man must have a sword, a white horse, and a beautiful woman to be considered a man. This is what I said to Jack Rickham, and you still remember." Irina shook her head and smiled, she was very hard for Edward to propose to her. She was happy about the incident, but she still had a touch of emotion lingering in her heart, "Actually, you already have the Jackdaw, so you can completely get rid of the horses."

"A marriage proposal has to be a surprise. How do you pronounce my marriage proposal?" Probably an illusion, Edward felt that Elena didn't look particularly happy, and these surprises didn't seem to have the desired effect.

"Not... not bad." Elena lied, "Who taught you?"

"A missionary who was shipwrecked, I sent him ashore for free, and he explained to me what a Christian wedding is, and even copied a few oaths for me."

Elena looked down at the ring on her hand, which was shining brightly in the sun, "Marry me as your wife...you will regret it, Edward."

She didn't mean to warn, she was just stating the facts, but Edward didn't want to hear such words, "We have gone through so much disaster together, Elena, I don't see anything that I regret .”

"Because I will die, not ten years or decades later, but now." Irina said the thing she had always wanted to tell Edward with an indescribable mood, "One month , or two months...at most half a year, I will die. Even so...Edward, don't you regret it?"

She didn't get an immediate answer to the question.

Before the ship carrying Edward's daughter, Jennifer Scott, finally entered port on a sunny day, Edward was exchanging with Elena about his daughter's age, and their age.Compared to Edward's unacceptable when she confessed the fact that she was about to die, his attitude is much calmer now, but he still refuses to believe that Irina will die. He thinks that after returning to England, there must be good news in London. Doctors were able to cure her.Elena no longer forced him to accept this fact, and when that fact came, Edward naturally had to believe it.

The topic of age was first brought up by Elena. She was curious about the age of Edward's daughter, and then wanted to know the exact year and day of Edward's birth. Edward answered quickly, "[-], March [-]th. And you?"

"I seem to be younger than you—" Elena calculated the date, "four years younger."

"...so much difference? So—" Edward was a little surprised, "the year I saw you on the Spanish fleet, you were only... 19 years old?"

Elena nodded.

"Then you were just a kid back then, even now." Edward couldn't help sighing, "My daughter is still very young, it seems that I have to take care of both of you at the same time."

"Maybe you don't have to take care of me for a long time." When she spoke, her tone was like the withering of a flower petal.

After Elena said this, Edward immediately reached out and squeezed her hand, and he murmured, "Don't say such things again."

Just then the two of them heard a distant call, and a ship sailed into the bay of Great Inagua.Edward and Irina glanced at each other. They both understood the meaning of the ship, so they stood up together and walked towards the bay. There was a big ship moored there, the pedals had been lowered, and a little girl Walk down the steps and stand quietly on the pier, holding a doll.

Elena knew that Edward still loved his dead wife and his daughter. These loves were different from his love for her, but they were still sincere, and this little girl must also love her father .

Then even if she leaves one day, Edward will not be alone.

Now, just wait quietly for the day to set sail for London, that's all.
