save the bachelors

Chapter 4529 4531 [Goodbye Captain Jack]

Xiang Nan never thought that he was so lucky. He could actually discover an incredible treasure while just strolling around the museum.

That night, he sneaked into the museum and took out the pure blue glass heart from the statue of Garuda.

The moment he held it in his hand, Xiang Nan felt as if all his worries were gone and he was free from worries. It was truly wonderful.

"No wonder the gods are drooling over it, it is indeed a rare treasure." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that the greater your ability, the greater your greed and the greater your troubles.

At first, Xiang Nan was just worried about not having enough salary, not being able to find a partner, and having a hateful boss and annoying colleagues.

Basically, these troubles can be solved with money, or even if you don't have money, you can just lie down and do nothing.

But now he was worried that his strength was not strong enough, that he could not become a god, and that he knew very little...

These troubles cannot be solved by money alone, or even by one's own efforts alone. They can only be achieved through the combination of talent, hard work, and opportunity. So how can people not be troubled?

Now that he had this pure blue glass heart, Xiang Nan suddenly felt that all his worries were gone, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. This kind of peaceful and calm state of mind with pure thoughts was what countless practitioners dreamed of.

……

After staying in England for a while, Xiang Nan and Elizabeth went to continental Europe.

They landed in the Netherlands and then went to Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and then to Italy and Greece in southern Europe.

Along the way, Xiang Nan discovered that the Goddess Church was becoming more and more popular. In any town they passed through, they could see the temple of the Goddess Church, but not every town had a church of the Christian Church.

It can be seen that in Europe, the number of believers in the goddess has exceeded the number of believers in God, which is a good thing for Xiang Nan, because the more people believe in the goddess, the more souls he can get.

However, because of this, when Xiang Nan and Elizabeth went to Rome, they did not dare to visit the Vatican.

He was afraid that when he went there, God would suddenly send down a thunderbolt and kill him on the spot.

"Are we really not going to the Vatican?" Elizabeth said with some regret.

"We are believers of the goddess of the sea. Going to the Vatican for pilgrimage is equivalent to apostasy." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "And apostasy will be punished, so I suggest you don't take the risk. Anyway, there is only a church there, and it's nothing great."

She was thankful that Xiang Nan had played a trick on her when she first joined the sect and didn't ask her to sign the membership manual. Otherwise, just wanting to go to the Vatican would have been considered apostasy, and she would have had a headache for days.

"Okay then." Elizabeth nodded.

……

The two crossed the Mediterranean to Greece and lived in Greece for half a year.

Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild and rainy winters and dry and hot summers, so spring and autumn are the best seasons for vacation. Especially in autumn, the weather is cool and comfortable, and the scenery is pleasant, which is the best choice.

Just when Xiang Nan was preparing to go to Egypt to experience the exotic scenery, he suddenly received a message from Thompson, the manager of the weird George store.

Xiang Nan then left his mirror clone to accompany Elizabeth, and he himself went to the Weird George Shop.

"Thompson, you said an old friend wants to see me, where is he?" Xiang Nan returned to the store and asked. "James... old friend... do you still remember... me?" Before Thompson could say anything, he heard someone laugh weakly.

Xiang Nan looked back and was immediately shocked.

The man's face was almost completely rotten, covered with scars and red spots of all sizes, and oozing disgusting mucus from time to time. His left eye was also rotten, and the remaining right eye was also bloodshot. Broken wounds could be seen on his neck, hands, and legs, and blood and mucus were oozing out from time to time.

"You are..." Xiang Nan didn't recognize him for a moment, but when he thought about it, he was suddenly startled, "Jack Sparrow?"

Xiang Nan recognized him based on the headdress on the man's head. After all, Captain Jack's headdress was unique. It was a token that sealed Colibusso and had also sealed the soul of the emperor of the Aztec Empire.

"As expected... you still remember me, old friend... yes, it's me." Jack Sparrow grinned, but he didn't have many good teeth in his mouth.

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" Xiang Nan said in surprise.

He hadn't seen Jack for nearly 30 years, and he had never expected that Jack would become like this. He had thought that Jack would still be sailing on the sea, after all, that was his favorite thing to do.

"Syphilis." Captain Jack said concisely.

Xiang Nan nodded. In fact, he also realized that Captain Jack had typical symptoms of late-stage syphilis.

Syphilis was brought back to Europe from the Americas by Christopher Columbus during the Age of Exploration. Because the virus is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, it was once called "romance disease" or "Cupid's disease."

Therefore, European aristocratic children were once proud of having syphilis, believing that it was an invisible recognition of their charm.

However, syphilis is also a very toxic virus that will gradually erode the human body. At the beginning, it will only cause some ulcers and swollen lymph nodes, and later it will cause fever, headache, bone and joint pain, oral mucositis, retinitis, and meningitis.

Finally, there is necrosis of limb tissues, ulcers all over the body, heart disease, high blood pressure, headache, dementia, spinal cord degeneration, paresthesia...

In short, this is a very fatal disease. Xiang Nan never thought that Jack would get this disease.

But then again, Captain Jack is a very romantic man.

Almost all the beauties who appear in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have something to do with him.

For example, the two who slapped him on the island of Tetuga, Maria whose boat he stole, the twins beside Xiao Feng, the pirate king of Singapore, Angelica in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and the wife of the mayor of St. Martin in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5"...

He is so indifferent to both meat and vegetables that it is easy for him to fall into his trap.

After all, it was the 18th century and there were no risk avoidance measures, not to mention that medical technology was not well developed, so even if you got the disease, it was difficult to cure.

In the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series, there has actually always been a small detail, that is, there has always been a scar on Captain Jack's left chin, and the scar has become larger and larger in the five films.

It is said that it was a little Easter egg specially designed by Johnny Depp to show that Captain Jack was actually a syphilis patient.

"Don't be afraid, I have a way to heal you." Xiang Nan said immediately, and then took out the wand of the god of medicine, ready to help Captain Jack heal his illness.

For him, treating syphilis was a piece of cake.

"No, I don't need treatment." Jack smiled and waved his hand, "My life is worth it."

Over the years, he has sailed around the world, seen and enjoyed himself, and he has no regrets. In this case, why should he be cured? It is better to die like this.
