Chapter 1368 A Sumptuous Dinner Party

Elegant candlelight, the goblet made of crystal is filled with red wine, swaying in the goblet like a cloud of blood.

The table was covered with all kinds of food, and the plate in front of Elizabeth was also piled with food.

Barbossa looked at Elizabeth with gentle eyes, "Miss Turner, please forgive us for not being well received, these are the only things on board."

Elizabeth slowly cut off a piece of meat with a knife, forked it with a fork, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly.

The taste of the food was not very good, but she didn't demand too much, she had been hungry for a day, and the people who escaped from the big ship in Port Royal didn't have time to take care of her, and she was hungry for a long time.

Now she wants to gobble it up, but her family education since childhood told her that she wants to be a lady.

Barbosa shook the crystal wine glass in his hand to let the bright red wine inside slosh like blood, and an intoxicating aroma of wine scattered in all directions.

Barbosa leaned close to the red wine glass, shook the wine glass, and took a deep sniff, but then, his expression became full of disgust.

Then he turned his attention to Elizabeth again, "Miss Turner, this is not a formal dinner, you don't have to consider others, you are our most precious guest, you will not be rude."

Hearing this, Elizabeth no longer cared about the image of a lady, and started chewing frantically on the dinner plate,

Seeing Elizabeth grabbing the chicken leg and biting wildly, Barbosa's eyes revealed unspeakable greed.

He hadn't tasted food for a long, long time. The curse of the Aztecs was a curse on the Black Pearl. They lost all sense of beauty, but the pain came in bursts.

They can feel the pain, but they can't feel the beauty, they can't taste the taste in the food, they can't sniff the alluring aroma of red wine, let alone taste the sweet taste of the apple.

Barbossa held a green apple in his left hand and twirled it slowly, then handed it to Elizabeth, "Here is another apple, look how tempting it is." The monkey next to him also stared at it without blinking. The apple in Barbossa's hand.

However, Elizabeth's expression changed, and she immediately said, "Is this apple poisonous?" She felt that Barbossa was going to use this apple to poison her to death.

But Barbossa shook his head, took a bite, "Eat it, it's not poisonous!" Then he handed another one to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth subconsciously took the apple and put it on her nose and sniffed it gently. The fragrance was intoxicating.

With a gentle smile on his face, Barbossa induced, "Have a taste!"

Elizabeth grabbed the apple and took a hard bite. The sweet juice, refreshing fragrance, and slightly sour taste made her narrow her eyes slightly.

Looking at Elizabeth's expression, Barbossa seemed to be able to truly feel her joy.

Barbossa leaned back slightly on the chair, took a deep breath, straightened his neck, and raised his head, as if feeling the joy of Elizabeth eating an apple.

At this time, Elizabeth lowered her left hand slightly, pulled the tablecloth lightly, and a table knife fell into her hand. She gently used the skirt of her evening dress to hide the table knife in the folds of the skirt , the table knife disappeared instantly.

Barbossa looked at Elizabeth eating with a look of intoxication on his face. A gold coin on his left knuckle was flipping back and forth on his fingertips. It was very agile, obviously he was in a good mood.

Seeing Elizabeth eating happily, he said slowly: "Miss Turner, it seems that you don't know what this thing is, right?"

Elizabeth looked at the gold coin in Barbossa's hand and said, "This is a pirate gold coin!"

"No? It's called an Aztec coin!"

For a moment, Barbossa seemed to be caught in his memories.

"The eight hundred and eighty-two gold coins were originally packed in a stone box to be transported to Coton, a Spanish colonist, just to prevent Coton from massacring the Aztec people and destroying their civilization, but Coton's Greed was heinous, and he broke his promise, so those pagan gods put a terrible curse on these gold coins."

There was endless fear in Barbossa's words, "Anyone who takes a gold coin from the stone box will be punished endlessly, and there will be no exceptions."

Elizabeth put down the food in her hands, with a trace of mockery on her face.

"Mr. Captain, I don't believe in these ghost stories, even if you tell them at night how scary!"

"Hey hey!" Barbossa laughed bitterly.

"Yes, that's it. When I heard this legend for the first time, I was just like you."

"The gold was buried on a deserted island that no one knew about, unless someone knew where it was buried, and we found him and took all the gold coins in the stone box for ourselves." Barbossa said urgently He clenched his fist tightly, as if he had found the taste of wealth.

"We squandered as much as we wanted, using these gold coins to exchange for food, beauties, looking for all the joys, but..." Barbosa's voice suddenly changed, changing from an intoxicated expression.

"The smell of food slowly disappears in our mouths, we can't smell the aroma of red wine, and even the taste of rum is gone."

"We can't even touch and feel that woman's delicate skin." Barbossa looked at Elizabeth greedily, but then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Not only that, we no longer feel the warmth of the sun, the sea breeze, or even the green taste of this apple. All good food turns into tasteless dust in our mouths. We used to be driven by greed. It’s like that, but now it’s sucking it dry!”

"We are the cursed ones, Miss Turner!" Barbossa said bleakly.

Elizabeth seemed to be attracted by this wonderful story, listening to Barbossa's narration.

Barbossa was roasting on the candle with his left hand, a little pain made him feel that he was still a living creature living in this world, yes, a living creature.

"And the only way to undo the curse is to recover all the eight hundred and eighty-two Aztec gold coins, keep them in one place, and then give blood for blood."

Elizabeth's pupils shrank slightly, "Is blood debt paid!"

"I would also like to thank you, Miss Turner, for allowing us to retrieve the last piece of gold."

"That's why we don't kill you now."

There was endless fear in Elizabeth's eyes, and she finally understood why these pirates had to rob her, not even kill her, and even entertain her lavishly at a dinner party. It turned out that all of this was not the ultimate goal.

Barbosa picked up another green apple in his hand and sniffed it lightly, but there was no smell. He handed it to Elizabeth, "Do you want another one?" Barbosa was persuasive, he still wanted to feel Take a look at the intoxicating taste of Elizabeth eating apples, as if he can feel it himself.

Elizabeth violently pushed away the apple he handed her, and the apple fell on the ground immediately. The monkey next to her immediately went to pick up the green apple that fell on the ground, while Elizabeth's right hand suddenly pushed forward, and a table knife It went straight into Barbosa's left chest.

Barbossa was a little dazed, watching the woman insert the knife into his chest, but he didn't dodge in the slightest.

Barbossa grabbed the table knife on his left chest with his left hand, and slowly pulled it out, the table knife was covered with blood.

Barbosa looked at the blood on the knife, felt the pain, but shook his head, "I'm curious, what are you going to do after you kill me?"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Elizabeth's face turned pale.

The captain was fine after being stabbed in the chest by a table knife, and he was still talking to her calmly.
