save the bachelors

Chapter 4486 [Angelica]

"It's her?!" Xiang Nan was stunned.

"Do you know her?" Jack asked curiously when he saw Xiang Nan's strange reaction.

"She is now wanted by the East India Company, and the reward is five thousand pounds, which is three thousand pounds more than yours." Xiang Nan explained, and then took out the wanted warrants for him and Angelica.

"What, her bounty is higher than mine? This is outrageous. I am the famous Jack Sparrow." Jack said angrily when he saw it.

"I guess she must have done something extraordinary, which is why she has such a huge reward." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I would like to borrow your wish compass and ask her a question after I find her."

"I'll go with you. I want to settle the score with her too." Jack said immediately after hearing this.

"I'd better go by myself. It's not convenient for you to go with me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But I promise you that after I catch her, I will bring her back to see you."

He could catch Angelica in a few minutes if he went there and came back quickly, but if he took Jack with him, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.

"Okay then." Jack nodded and handed the wish compass to Xiang Nan.

……

After Xiang Nan took the wish compass, he first looked up to the sky and divined Angelica's approximate location.

He saw that Angelica was actually on Tetuga Island at the moment. He then Apparated and came to Tetuga, then took out the wish compass and followed the guidance of the compass to search.

A moment later, Xiang Nan was surprised to find that he had come to the Weird George Shop.

"How come we are here?" Xiang Nan said in astonishment, looking at the needle on the compass. He didn't expect that the wish compass would guide him here.

Weird George's Shop was opened by Xiang Nan four years ago, specializing in purchasing magical items.

To be honest, after so many years of hard work, it really helped Xiang Nan buy a lot of magical items.

In addition to the previous purified water bag, self-igniting pipe, blood-sucking teeth, and monkey god skull, Xiang Nan also bought a necklace that came with a curse. After putting on the necklace, he would be haunted by a wronged spirit and would be killed by the spirit within a week.

I bought a statue of the corn god of an Indian tribe. It is said that praying to the corn god will bring a good harvest. I also bought a blue pearl. If you hold this pearl, you will not be burned even if you stand in a fire.

I also bought a dagger that was quenched with a deadly poison. Once you are stabbed by it, the wound will bleed continuously. It is said that it was used by the Assassins in the past...

In short, there are many kinds of things, each with its own wonderful features.

What made Xiang Nan most satisfied was an evergreen branch.

This branch is always green. No matter it is roasted over fire or exposed to the sun, it always remains green.

Moreover, this branch was very flexible and could not be broken even if it was chopped by a sharp sword or a huge axe. Therefore, it was regarded as a rare item and was sold to Xiang Nan.

Its owner did not understand its true value and thought it was just a magical branch, so he only sold it for two gold coins.

But Xiang Nan was shocked when he saw it. He could feel that this branch contained powerful life energy, which was unparalleled and vast.

Later, through divination, he learned that this branch actually came from the World Tree.

The world tree exists in many myths, such as Jianmu and Fusang in Chinese mythology, the sun tree and Posha tree in Indian mythology, the world tree in Norse mythology, the Druids also believe in the tree of life, the world tree in Babylonian mythology grows in the navel of the world, the Garden of Eden in Christianity also has the tree of wisdom and the tree of life, and the world tree in Mayan mythology connects the yin and yang...

The tree mentioned in these myths may be the same tree. This branch of the World Tree was cut from the tree for some reason. It is about three feet long and as thick as a finger, which is very suitable for making a magic wand. However, Xiang Nan has not yet chosen the material of the wand core, and his current magic wand can still be used, so he is not in a hurry.

……

Xiang Nan then walked into the Weird George shop.

Manager Thomson was receiving guests. When he saw Xiang Nan, he immediately said "sorry" and then walked up to him and said, "Boss, you're back."

"Is everything okay in the store?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Thomson nodded quickly.

"That's good." Xiang Nan looked around and saw a man sitting there.

He was slightly stunned, and then realized that this man was Angelica in disguise. The beard on her face was clearly glued on, which could not be hidden from Xiang Nan, who was also a master of disguise.

And the sword hanging around Angelica's waist was the Sword of Triton that Xiang Nan gave to Jack. I didn't expect that she could trick him into getting it. It seems that Jack is really careless.

"Are you the owner of this store? I have a business matter I want to discuss with you directly." At this time, Angelica stood up and walked to Xiang Nan and said.

"Okay, let's talk in my office upstairs." Xiang Nan nodded and invited Angelica to come upstairs. "Please sit down. Would you like tea or coffee?"

"Is there any wine?" Angelica asked.

"Rum, whiskey or brandy?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Rum is fine." Angelica nodded.

"Thomson, bring a bottle of rum." Xiang Nan ordered, "What business do you want to discuss with me?"

"It's a big deal, but I don't know if you can afford it." Angelica looked at Xiang Nan and said.

"Don't worry, as long as it's worth it, I can afford it no matter how expensive it is." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Can you tell me what you want to sell?"

"You have to show your financial strength first." Angelica waved her hand and said, "Otherwise, if I bring out the goods but you don't have that much money, then our discussion will be in vain, right?"

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded and took out his purse from his waist.

Angelica was slightly stunned when she saw this, then frowned and said, "Are you kidding? How much money can be put in such a small wallet?"

Although Britain had begun to promote paper money in the 17th century, due to the low level of anti-counterfeiting technology at the time and the fact that King Charles I of England had once confiscated gold and silver coins stored in banks to alleviate the kingdom's financial crisis, people generally did not trust the paper money issued by the Bank of England.

Moreover, paper money was not circulated internationally at that time. For the people, gold and silver coins were more direct and reliable.

So when Angelica saw Xiang Nan took out a small purse, she was naturally dissatisfied, because this small purse could not hold so much money.

Xiang Nan smiled, opened his purse and let Angelica take a look.

Angelica was completely stunned for a moment, and she saw that there was something else in the purse, which was filled with gold coins, silver coins, and jewels, as high as a mountain.

It can be said that even King George II of England probably didn't have as much money as he did.
