Chapter 4405 4407 [Aztec Gold Coins and the Cursed Black Ship]

"Someone fell into the water. Drop the rope, take the hook and rescue him." Xiang Nan gave the order immediately, and then the sailors on the boat immediately tied the hook to the rope, then threw the hook and hooked Will Turner up.

"He's still breathing." Xiang Nan took a look and nodded.

Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief when she heard it. But at this moment, she looked into the distance and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God~"

"What's wrong? What happened? Oh my God~" The crew heard her cry, looked in the direction of the voice, and were immediately stunned.

There was a large merchant ship on the sea that was broken in half and burning fiercely. There were scattered wood chips, wine barrels, goods, and dead bodies on the sea.

The crew members were all shocked by this tragic scene, and Xiang Nan took the opportunity to use his "magic hands" to take off the gold pendant from Will Turner's neck.

He knew that the gold pendant looked like a necklace, but it was actually a cursed Aztec gold coin.

That year, the Spaniard Hernán Cortes led his army to conquer the Aztec Empire and captured its emperor Montezuma II.

In order to redeem the emperor, the Aztec Empire presented a large amount of gold to Cortes, including these 882 gold coins.

But after receiving the ransom, Cortes broke his promise and killed Montezuma II, thus angering the Quetzalcoatl god worshipped by the Aztecs.

Quetzalcoatl cursed that anyone who took out the gold coin from the sarcophagus would be cursed to be immortal and tortured by the curse forever. The curse could only be lifted if the gold coin was returned with blood for blood.

Of course, the only person who is cursed is the one who takes the gold coins out of the sarcophagus. Other people who indirectly touch the gold coins will not be cursed.

These gold coins and other treasures were later stored on the Island of the Dead. Captain Jack got the treasure map and prepared to take the treasure, but later he gave up the plan after learning that the gold coins were cursed.

But his crew members were not happy. They were eager to get rich and money, so at the instigation of First Mate Barbossa, they rebelled, seized the Black Pearl, and exiled Jack to a deserted island.

Barbossa became the captain of the Black Pearl and led his crew to find the Island of the Dead and obtained the gold coins. They were overjoyed and then used the money to indulge in pleasure.

As a result, although their desire for pleasure was extremely strong, they could not be satisfied no matter what they did. Only then did they realize that the "curse on the gold coin" was not groundless.

In order to lift the curse, they can only get back the gold coins they spent. Otherwise, they will never have peace in their lives, forever in the pain of unsatisfied desires.

Will Turner's gold coins came from his father, Bill Turner, who also participated in the mutiny that day but regretted it. After receiving the Aztec gold coins, he did not spend them indiscriminately, but sent them to his son, Will Turner.

Bill Turner's two-faced behavior angered Barbossa, who locked him to a cannon and sank him to the bottom of the sea.

Although Bill Turner was cursed and became immortal, he was unable to break free from the chains and could only endure endless pain at the bottom of the sea.

Later he met the Flying Dutchman. In order to get rid of the pain, he had no choice but to agree to serve on the ship for a hundred years as Davy Jones.

Will Turner didn't know that his father was a pirate. After his mother Arabella died, he came to the Caribbean to find his father.

As a result, he was attacked by pirates. Fortunately, he climbed onto a wooden board in time and avoided sinking to the bottom of the sea.

……

Xiang Nan knew that the reason why Elizabeth Swan was interested in Will Turner was because of this gold coin.

She thought Will Turner was a little pirate, so she, eager for adventure, immediately took a keen interest in the boy.

Just like a middle school girl who is naive and can be easily seduced by those ruffians. All love comes from curiosity.

So Xiang Nan secretly took the Aztec gold coins to prevent Elizabeth from becoming curious about Will. "Merchant ships are usually well-armed. They must have strong firepower to destroy this merchant ship like this." Xiang Nan put away the gold coins, came to the side of the ship, looked at the tragic scene in front of him and said, "Warn the captain, lower the boat, and check if there are other survivors!"

At Xiang Nan's command, the lifeboat was immediately lowered. The crew rowed the boat towards the bombed merchant ship and saw only wood chips, wine barrels, destroyed goods, and a large number of dead bodies left on the sea.

While the crew was carrying out the rescue, Weatherby Swan came to his daughter Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, go take care of that poor child and do it well."

He had to find a job for his daughter to distract her attention. Otherwise, if she continued to stare at the tragic scene in front of her, she would definitely have nightmares at night.

Elizabeth nodded and went over to take care of Will Turner.

When she walked over, Will Turner just woke up and became a little nervous when he saw Elizabeth.

"Don't worry, my name is Elizabeth Swan. What's your name?" Seeing this, Elizabeth hurriedly comforted him.

"Will Turner." Little Turner replied tremblingly.

"Will Turner, I will take care of you." Elizabeth nodded.

At this time, Xiang Nan came over and asked, "Did he say anything?"

"He said his name was Will Turner," Elizabeth said quickly, "but nothing else."

"Well, take him to the cabin and hand him over to the ship's doctor." Xiang Nan immediately instructed the sailor, "The lifeboat has not found any more survivors. When they come back, we will set sail at full speed."

"Oh God." Elizabeth couldn't help but make the sign of the cross, feeling sorry for the dead.

……

By this time, the lifeboat had rowed back to the Dauntless.

Xiang Nan immediately announced to raise the sails and sail away at full speed.

When the Dreadnought broke through the thick fog and moved forward quickly, everyone was surprised again.

Because they vaguely saw, in the thick fog, a ship with a completely black hull and black sails, except for the black flag hanging on the mast, which had a white skull painted on it and an "X" shape made of two knives below.

"Oh my god, it's really a pirate!"

"The cursed black ship, it's unbelievable!"

"Did it attack the merchant ship? It is indeed a demon ship."

The crew members all saw this scene and were stunned.

Because they have all heard the legend of the Black Ship. Legend has it that it is cursed and is completely black, but it has an extremely fast speed and no ship can outrun it.

It is controlled by a group of brutal pirates and evil captains, active in the Caribbean, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Their souls are so depraved that even hell refuses to accept them.

Therefore, if you encounter it, it often indicates the coming of disaster. It’s just that everyone has heard a lot of rumors, and this is the first time they have seen the black ship itself, so everyone was a little scared for a while.
