A foreigner's journey

"You have something that Jack doesn't have, which is ambition and strength."

Barbossa lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head as much as possible to show submission: "My captain, please tell your loyal first mate your name. I will take care of all the chores on the ship so that you can concentrate on your work." A big man like you needs to focus on big things.”

"...Heather, just call me Heather."

Heather does not shy away from saying her name. [True name] is not considered a vitality in this slightly magically modified version of the earth, and with the protection of the 'outsider' fire, Heather is very suspicious of the average real name. Will targeting spells work on myself?

"My lord, your first mate Hector Barbossa is at your service at any time." If his chest was not still penetrated by the absolute royal power and nailed to the wall, Barbossa would even be willing to bend down and salute.

Having said that, Heather couldn't let him go.

Of course, it's definitely not because of killing Barbossa now, those big and white ones... Bah, the lovely Miss Catalina will not be able to come to the world.

The key is that if Barbossa died without passing on the position of Pirate King of Caspian Sea to others, Heather is not sure whether her mission can be completed.

After all, the [Pirate King] needs to be recognized by the seven pirate kings at the pirate conference.

With a click, Heather pulled out the golden cross sword, and Barbossa collapsed on the ground, with blood flowing from his chest as if he were alive.

This is not surprising, these cursed undead will bleed when they are not illuminated by the moonlight, but just like the mirror, no matter how much blood they shed, they will not die. Once they are illuminated by the moonlight, all their injuries will be restored.

Considering that the curse rule of the Aztec gold coins is [must be repaid with blood], the bleeding of these undead may also be part of the curse rule.

Barbossa staggered into the moonlight. He turned into a skeleton and breathed a sigh of relief. The injury on his chest disappeared.

Jack glanced at Barbossa, then took small steps and ran to Heather, whispering: "Mentor, have I lost my position as 'First Officer'? It's a pity, but I think you can demote me." For the captain of the Black Pearl.”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth, and raised his index fingers to point at himself.

"No, no, my dear apprentice, I have a more important position to give you."

Heather shook her finger and walked towards the Aztec stone box at the top of the treasure mountain.

Seeing Heather approaching, Barbossa immediately bent aside and said respectfully: "Sir, do you need me to send someone to order those stupid minions to stop?"

If there really is a 'Dreadnaught' and the Royal Navy out there, then the Dauntless must also be important to the new captain.

"There's no rush, we have to adhere to the principle of "it's better to have less than to have too much, right?"

Heather hooked her fingers at Jack and Will standing aside: "Come on, lift the curse."

Will was a handsome young man who was brave, courageous and skilled in swordsmanship. He was a little unhappy when he heard the tone of this order, but considering that Barbossa had been knocked down by Heather three or two times, he couldn't make a difference no matter how hard he fought. , so he and Jack walked over obediently.

The two of them took out daggers and made a bloody incision in their palms. They held the gold coins so that they were covered with blood and threw them back into the treasure chest.

...nothing happened.

"Gentlemen, please verify whether the curse is gone."

Heather stood in front of the treasure chest with her arms folded: "Or do you want me to do it myself?"

Barbossa trembled with fright and said quickly: "You don't need to do anything, please let me do it."

Then he took out his musket and aimed it at a pirate who was stunned in place.

boom!

The pirate fell to the ground in response, and his chest was wet with blood and continued to expand.

"Oh, it seems that the legend is true. As long as you pay off the 'blood debt' and return the gold coins, the curse can be eliminated." Heather raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

Barbossa bowed and saluted: "In order to eliminate the curse, we have visited several witches and searched for a large number of precious texts in the past ten years. I can guarantee that no one in the world knows more about Aztec gold coins than me."

"Speaking of which, if you follow your steps to lift the curse, what are you going to do next?" Heather asked curiously.

Because this box of Aztec gold coins has not appeared since the end of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Heather does not know whether they were taken away by the Royal Navy for safekeeping or directly destroyed by strange means.

"Sir, if this box of gold coins is used properly, it will be an excellent weapon." Barbossa showed a smile that was anything but friendly: "Use the curse of the gold coins to control other people, and even use it flexibly before each war. After the war, And then pay with blood..."

"Uh, just wait a moment."

Heather raised her hand to interrupt Barbossa's eloquent explanation, pointed to the box of gold coins and asked with some surprise:

"You mean...this thing can also be considered a 'weapon'?"

"Of course, sir." Barbossa didn't notice the point of Heather's words at all: "This box of Aztec gold coins can batch produce undead warriors who are not afraid of death and injury. If used properly, they can even conquer a big city. Where can I find a better weapon than this?"

"…………"

Heather stopped talking, and started walking around the Aztec treasure chest with her arms folded, staring at the skull gold coins inside, mumbling some words that no one could understand.

"Jack, what is he talking about?" Will curiously asked Jack beside him.

"I don't know, maybe he's casting a spell." Jack shrugged. He could barely tell that Heather was speaking Chinese, but he had never studied Chinese systematically. The modern Chinese spoken by Heather was different from the eighteenth-century Chinese. There were some differences, and Jack listened for a long time but couldn't hear any real content.

Others didn't dare to disturb Heather, so they just watched Heather walking around in circles.

For a moment, apart from the crackling of the brazier in the huge grotto, there was only the noise of Heather walking on gold coins and jewelry.

After a long time, Heather finally stopped and looked up at Barbossa:

"You just said that these treasures, along with all of you, belong to me?"

Um? What did this man remember again? Barbossa was a little unsure of Heather's routine, but he still followed Heather's words: "Yes, sir, they all belong to you, there is no doubt about it."

After confirming the ownership of the property, Heather nodded with satisfaction, then gently kicked the stone box beside her feet: "Okay, my loyal first mate, take the property here, especially this stone box together with the gold coins in it. , move them all away.”

"With all due respect, the cabin of the Black Pearl is not too big. It would be unrealistic to fill it with so much treasure," Barbossa said honestly.

"Then put half of the treasure on the Fearless, and this stone box must stay on the Black Pearl."

Heather actually didn't care about these treasures. The real focus was the Aztec stone box: "Who, go outside and call the navy on the Intrepid and the pirates who are not dead yet to move in and move the things?" Be quick."

The pirates who did not deserve to be named by the author felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They nodded hurriedly and rushed outside.

Heather turned to look at Jack again: "Jack, you go too, don't let our Brigadier General Norrington continue to kill. Although those pirates are rude and barbaric, they are all my property! Huh? Mr. Will, you Have something to say?"

"Can I go with Jack? Is Elizabeth also on the Fearless?" Will really couldn't wait to see his sweetheart.

Heather waved her hands indifferently: "Go ahead, go ahead. Today's young people are only thinking about love, love, love. It's really boring."

When only Barbossa and Heather were left in the grotto, the latter sat on the edge of the stone box with his legs crossed and asked leisurely:

"My dear first mate, tell me, does the Black Pearl count as a 'weapon'?"
