Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 59: Pirate Style

A flying magic carpet carried Lin You and Barbossa, flying at a high altitude that could not be reached by the waves.

Ever since he learned the lesson from the mummy world, Earl Goff now tries to bring as many necessary items as possible whenever he travels; although flying magic carpets are banned from import by the British Ministry of Magic, the ban obviously does not apply to the Forresters.

As soon as the flying carpet took off, Barbossa's eyes began to dart around, but he quickly pretended to be calm, as if he wanted to tell others, "I've seen a lot of things, there's nothing surprising about a flying carpet like this."

He even remembered to catch the jumping immortal monkey to prevent the restless beast from falling into the sea.

Then the Caspian Sea pirate king watched as Lin You produced tea sets, tea leaves, and bottled spring water from somewhere, and with a wave of his magic wand he boiled the water and made a pot of hot black tea.

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, especially when he saw the dark dark wood wand, his eyes sparkled.

"I heard that pirates like rum, but I'm sorry, I only have black tea here." Lin You said politely, and then he served the tea and sipped it carefully.

Barbossa just said half of the sentence "Actually, I don't mind...", and then he shut up tactfully.

The Caspian Sea Pirate King fell into an awkward silence for a long time before he found the topic again: "Since you have such a magical treasure as a flying carpet, you don't need a ship or a captain at all. Why do you bring me along?"

"Of course I have my reasons." The writer answered the question irrelevantly.

This sentence choked Barbossa for a long time before he started to talk again: "Then why do you want to go to Tortuga? If you don't need a ship, there is no need to recruit crew members there."

Lin You finally turned his attention: "Mr. Barbosa, you seem to have a lot of questions?"

"Of course, this may be a common problem for every captain. We all hope to control the direction as much as possible." Barbossa answered cautiously.

An experienced pirate may not have other skills, but he must know how to judge the situation. For example, now, Barbossa knows very well that his life is in the hands of the boy in front of him; if the boy is unhappy, he can throw the pirate captain and the monkey into the sea.

Therefore, before ensuring that the other party was unable to harm him - such as taking away the dark magic wand, Barbossa would remain humble enough.

The Caspian Sea Pirate King did not expect that Lin You's next two sentences would completely disrupt his mentality, making it impossible for him to pretend to be humble any longer.

"I went to Tortuga not to recruit crew members, but to inquire about the whereabouts of a diary." The writer deliberately looked at Barbossa's face and said, "I heard that there is a diary related to Galileo, inlaid with bright red rubies, which is the key to open the 'Tomb of Poseidon'."

Lin You spoke slowly, but he keenly noticed that Barbosa's eyeballs began to roll around and the muscles on his face twitched rapidly and covertly; so he immediately seized the opportunity to continue questioning.

"From your reaction, it seems that you know the whereabouts of this notebook?"

"Oh, well..." Barbossa instinctively began to make up a lie. Knowing that the diary was the key to finding the Trident of Poseidon, how could the greedy pirates easily hand it over?

"If you are lying, I don't mind taking a detour to the colonial islands of Spain or Britain. As the former pirate king of the Caspian Sea and captain of the Black Pearl, Mr. Barbossa's wanted order has already spread throughout the Caribbean, right? I can still sell you for a good price." Lin You interrupted the other party's lie immediately.

The pirate captain's donkey-like face immediately turned red.

Count Goff kindly comforted him: "Don't worry, even if you are sent to the guillotine or the gallows, it doesn't matter; Calypso can still summon your soul back and revive it again."

As he spoke, the flying carpet really began to turn.

Although Lin You was not sure about the exact directions of those colonial islands, Tortuga was the only safe haven for pirates in the entire Caribbean. Official law enforcers would not hesitate to hang any pirate on any other large inhabited island. The flying carpet only needed to fly west or south.

Barbossa's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he quickly pretended to understand something and explained, "No, no, what I want to say is, yes, I know that notebook. When I left the Caspian Sea and wandered around the Italian ports, I did steal a notebook from a merchant. It was very similar to what you described, with a gem on it."

"So where is it now?"

"On the Isla de Muerta."

"Isle of Death? Is that where you found the box of Aztec gold coins?" Lin You was surprised.

Barbossa smiled bitterly and said, "That place is very hidden, isn't it? After we found the gold coins, my crew and I thought it was a good hiding place, so we stored the stolen goods that couldn't be sold for the time being there. Later, we were cursed, and we had no intention of hunting for treasures, so many things were buried on that island."

"I can understand your feelings at that time." Lin You seemed to be suddenly enlightened. "Then, let's go to Death Island now. How do we get there?"

“We should turn southwest first, and once we see Port Royal…” Barbossa pointed attentively, attracting the boy’s attention in the direction he pointed.

When Lin You's sight was completely removed from the pirate captain, the cold sword suddenly crossed the boy's neck, and at the same time, Barbossa changed the subject: "...Keep your hands away from that stick, boy."

Ignoring the sword in front of him, Lin You smiled as he watched the undead monkey jump onto him. He stretched out his claws and tried desperately to pull at the gloomy wooden wand on his waist, but he couldn't pull it out.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Barbossa? Help me get the Trident of Poseidon. That's the task assigned to you by Calypso." The boy's expression seemed as if he was waiting to see a joke.

Barbossa felt something was a little strange, but he had no time to think about it. Instead, he said sternly to give himself courage: "So what? Where is she now? Be quiet, kid. I just want your magic wand and the flying carpet under our feet. Then you can jump into the sea and maybe we can wait for a passing ship."

"that's it?"

"that's all!"

"Then I understand." Lin You nodded slightly; this Caspian Sea pirate king was probably confused by the low-magic worldview of the Caribbean Pirates world, so that he made a serious misjudgment of the power gap between the two sides.

Of course, the most important reason is that pirates are always greedy and greedy. Knowing that the treasure hunt target is the Trident of Poseidon, seeing the magic carpet and magic wand, they can't help but be greedy.

Barbossa, still unaware of his own danger, warned: "Now that you understand, do as I say; don't move, and keep a sufficient distance between your hand and the wand." At the same time, he kept urging the undead monkey to bring the wand over.

Lin You couldn't help laughing at the undead monkey's embarrassment and asked, "Mr. Barbossa, why do you think I can't fight back if I don't use my magic wand?"

Before he finished speaking, Barbossa's face suddenly changed; without even a moment's hesitation, he swung the sword in his hand, ready to cut the boy's throat.

However, the sword not only did not do as the pirate captain wished, but was instead controlled by an invisible force, the blade rose involuntarily and continued to rise higher and higher.

Until Barbossa couldn't reach the hilt of the sword even if he stood on tiptoe, the sword soared into the sky with a "whoosh", drew a graceful parabola and fell to the sea, and was finally swallowed up by an unknown wave.
