save the bachelors

Chapter 4471 [God War]

The next day, Jack said goodbye to the mermaids and prepared to return to the Black Pearl.

Although the Mermaid Kingdom is a paradise with fine wine, delicious food, beautiful women, singing and dancing, he always feels that the Black Pearl is his home.

"Take me back, James." Jack said to Xiang Nan, "I remember that when I left the Black Pearl, I forgot to drop the anchor. I don't even know where it is now. If it hits a reef and sinks, it will be even more troublesome."

"Don't worry, no matter where it drifts, I can take you back." Xiang Nan smiled, then grabbed Jack's arm, and with a teleportation, he took Jack back to the Black Pearl.

"It seems that you really can't bear to kill Barbossa." Xiang Nan looked at the Black Pearl and said with a smile.

Jack nodded.

After he set sail on the Queen Anne's Revenge, he soon found Barbossa's Black Pearl under the guidance of the wish compass.

He took advantage of the pitch-black night to launch a sneak attack. While the crew were resting, he slowly approached the Queen Anne's Revenge, then used the Sword of Triton to control the Black Pearl and lifted up all the crew members with ropes.

Among them was his old enemy Hector Barbossa.

After being caught, Barbosa was very tough and took all the crimes on his own.

"Jack, I was the one who instigated the crew's betrayal, and I was also the one who exiled you to the deserted island. If you want revenge, take revenge on me alone and spare the others." He said loudly to Jack.

Barbossa is a qualified captain. Although he always scolds his crew members and tells them to work hard and not be lazy, he also loves his crew members very much.

When he released Colibuso in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, his request was to ask the goddess of the sea to forgive him and his crew; when negotiating with Salazar in Pirates of the Caribbean 5, he also asked Salazar not to kill his crew...

In the end, Jack did not have the heart to kill Barbossa. Instead, he gave the Queen Anne's Revenge to Xiang Nan as he said, and he only took the Black Pearl back.

"That's not surprising. After all, you are old partners." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

According to "Pirates of the Caribbean: Prequel", Jack has known Barbossa since he was very young, and the two of them went on adventures together, traveled across the four oceans, and experienced countless life and death difficulties together... So if he really wanted to kill him, he really couldn't do it.

"Don't think I'm so weak. I'm just letting him go for now." Jack said arrogantly, "And if I can handle two ships myself, I definitely won't give him the Queen Anne's Revenge."

"You're right." Xiang Nan nodded. "Well, have fun. I'm going back to Atlantis."

……

Xiang Nan then returned to Atlantis.

"Thank you, priest, for letting us regain our freedom." The mermaids said gratefully.

"You're welcome. You are all descendants of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and people of Colibuso, the goddess of the sea. You deserve her protection." Xiang Nan said, "From now on, you must regain your faith in Colibuso, and I will guide you back to the embrace of God."

"Yes, Priest." The mermaids all nodded.

Xiang Nan then built a temple of Colibuso in the city of Atlantis and held the first sacrifice for these mermaids.

"Great sea goddess Colibuso, please bless these mermaids and let them have a rich, peaceful, happy and safe life." Xiang Nan led the mermaids in prayer. "As long as you believe in me devoutly, I will protect you and give you the life you want." Colibuso said to the mermaids through the crystal ball.

The mermaids were immediately overjoyed and extremely happy.

After the sacrifice, Xiang Nan stayed in Atlantis, continuing to read books and asking the mermaids about things in ancient times.

In ancient times, Atlantis was once very developed and powerful. Even the gods of Mount Olympus could not conceal their brilliance.

Unfortunately, the higher the city, the more jealous people became. Atlantis was eventually punished by the gods. The earth shook, the sea water flooded back, and the entire city fell into the sea.

Tens of millions of Atlanteans died, but only 20,000 people were left. It can be said that it was a devastating blow. It was also because of this that the Atlantean civilization declined sharply.

Just like Mongolia, during the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian army was very well-equipped, even equipped with artillery, rockets, muskets and other hot weapons. They fought all the way to the Danube River, swept across half the globe, and were invincible.

But during the Ming Dynasty, after the Mongols were driven back to the grasslands, they could not even make iron pots. The shortage of iron tools meant that the army could only use stone arrowheads, almost regressing to primitive society.

"It's really terrible. There are earthquakes and floods everywhere... I can't even imagine it." The elder of the Mermaid Kingdom said to Xiang Nan.

"Didn't Poseidon, the god of the sea, resist?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Of course he did. He, his wife Amphitrite, his son Triton and others fought against the gods, but unfortunately they were defeated." The elder shook his head.

"Then where are they now? Are they dead or alive?" Xiang Nan asked again in confusion.

"How would we know anything about gods? Thousands of years have passed, and they have never appeared again. Only the sea goddess Colibuso protects us." The elder shook his head.

"Besides the Trident of Poseidon and the Sword of Triton, do you have any other artifacts in Atlantis?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

The elder shook his head. "If we had other artifacts, we wouldn't have been bullied by the gill people and sea giants for so long."

"What are the origins of the gill people and sea giants?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

"The Gills have fish heads, human bodies, and are covered with fish scales. They are monsters we created before. We originally used them to mine ore in the sea, but they turned around to take revenge on us.
Sea giants are descendants of giants. They are huge, up to 20 to 30 meters tall, and extremely powerful. It is difficult for us to fight them." The elder explained.

"Okay, the sea goddess Colibuso and I will protect you." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "If the gill people or sea giants come to attack you, notify me in time and I will help you teach them a lesson."

"Thank you, priest!" The mermaids were very happy to hear him say that.

Xiang Nan then left a piece of parchment for communication to the elder, asking him to notify him in time if the gill people or sea giants invaded Atlantis, and he would rush to rescue them as soon as possible.

Xiang Nan's behavior naturally won him the favor of the mermaids.

Many mermaids took the initiative to wink at him.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan is their savior, who rescued them from the tyrant Tang La; on the other hand, Xiang Nan himself is also a very charming person. And they have lived in the sea for thousands of years, and it is really too lonely.

However, Xiang Nan did not respond to them, but continued to stay in the library reading.
