Foreigner's Journey
Page 54
After seeing the terrifying curse on the pirates, no navy would steal the gold skeleton from the stone box without opening his eyes, and those pirates had just recovered their normal bodies, and they were more likely to hide from the gold coins.
Standing on the ferry, Heather admired the whole picture of the Black Pearl in the moonlight.
This three-masted sailing ship is about 160 five feet long, with fourteen cannons on the top deck and eighteen in the cabin; both the hull and the sails are weird black, and the bow looks like a classic dove angel.
The predecessor of the Black Pearl was an armed merchant ship named Bad Girl. 17 years ago, the young and energetic Jack Sparrow was originally the first mate on the ship of his father Teague, but because he also wanted to be the captain, he ran away angrily after many quarrels with his father, and came to the East India Company as a bottom sailor. Start climbing.
This is five years.
Cutler Beckett, a director of the East India Company at that time, felt that this young man was particularly outstanding as a sailor and a navigator, and was worthy of cultivation, so he used his power to promote the young Jack as the captain of his merchant ship 'Bad Girl'.
Jack did live up to Beckett's expectations, delivering the goods perfectly every time.Beckett also became more and more friendly to him, and the relationship between the two could even be called [friends].
Their friendship lasted until Jack discovered that Beckett was secretly engaged in the slave trade, much to the disgust of the freedom-loving Jack.From then on, any task that Jack discovered was related to the slave trade, he would unceremoniously refuse.
After some time, Beckett wanted to find an Aboriginal island in the Atlantic Ocean, seize the rich resources there and practice colonial slavery.But due to the lack of means, he found Jack and initiated a negotiation - 30% of the treasure on the island will be distributed to Jack, and the proceeds of the slave trade will be divided into 10%, as long as Jack helps him to confuse and win a slave from this island. of trust.
The remuneration can be said to be extremely generous, because I know that Jack hates slave trading, so Beckett added one - if you accept the task but do not complete it and do not return, then I will directly judge you as a pirate.
At that time, the East India Company was a powerful global giant with its own armed forces. Most of the company's directors had the right to mobilize the Royal Navy and impose penalties, so what Beckett said was not alarmist.
Jack took up the task, then went to sea for a few weeks and returned again, claiming that the location revealed by the slave was false, and that the slave had found a chance to escape successfully, and they were all deceived by the slave.
Beckett knew Jack was lying, but he had no proof.
He secretly hated Jack for ruining his business, so he asked Jack to transport a whole ship of slaves, and offered an attractive price that Jack could not refuse.
[This is the last task, as long as you can complete it, I will sell you the 'Bad Girl' for a shilling. 】
At that time, a shilling was equivalent to the cost of mooring a boat, and it was a free gift.
Jack really got caught. His biggest dream was to own his own ship, and the Bad Girl was his dream goal.
This time, Jack sailed in the direction where the slaves had been released after a week of sailing. The East India Company agents who had been secretly following Jack quickly approached and boarded the ship to arrest Jack, only to find that the entire ship of slaves was gone, so he had to be held in custody. back to East Africa.
Beckett was furious, took Jack to his ship, left a pirate mark on Jack's right arm with a red-hot iron [P], and then sailed the ship to the sea far from the East India Company port, forcing Jack to watch on the deck The Bad Girl was set on fire, and then sunk to the bottom of the sea by the ship's guns.
Seeing that the first ship in his life was destroyed one by one, Jack suddenly broke free and jumped into the ocean to swim towards the Bad Girl.
He was never seen again after that.
Jack did not know how to find the deep-sea Hades David Jones, who was driving the ghost ship [Flying Dutchman], and asked him to revive his ship.
Davy Jones, of course, could see what a fine sailor Jack was, and proposed a deal.He can revive the Bad Girl and give Jack 13 years to be his captain freely, but when the agreed time is up, Jack must return to serve on the Flying Dutchman for 100 years.
Jack's nature is to take one step at a time, the type who doesn't consider the consequences. He can't control what will happen in 13 years, so he naturally agrees.
So, on a stormy night, the raging sea slowly swelled up, and the Bad Girl broke through the sea and returned to the world with a new look.
Because she had been burned by flames and sunk by cannons, the hull was dark black, with ominous black sails hanging from the masts, hunting in the wind and rain.At the same time, Davy Jones also applied magic to the hull, making her the fastest speed in the Caribbean.
Jack has since called the ship the Black Pearl.
Admiring the dark and mysterious black hull of the Black Pearl, Heather touched his chin and fell into contemplation.
It was a good boat, but it wasn't Heather's ultimate goal.
Thinking of this, Heather turned to look at Jack who was negotiating with Commodore Norrington.
Obviously, Commodore Norrington and the Royal Navy under him were caught off guard by the pirates, but because the curse was lifted in time, there were not too many casualties on the naval side.When Jack found Norrington, the latter was planning to teach these pirates a profound lesson. He barely suppressed his anger after hearing Heather's instructions.
At this moment, Barbossa's voice came from behind Heather:
"Sir, where is the next destination?"
"Go to the Intrepid and invite Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Will to the Black Pearl, then notify Norrington and follow us to set sail for Port Royal."
Heather was certain that as long as Elizabeth was on the Black Pearl, Governor Swan and Norrington would not act rashly. Coupled with the Black Pearl's speed in the Caribbean Sea, they were not afraid of them escaping halfway.
Port Royal?Barbossa wanted to say that his group of pirates going to Port Royal was a self-inflicted trap, but considering Heather's elusive and eccentric personality, he wisely kept his mouth shut, and after stroking Heather's chest and saluting, he strode toward Dreadnought. No. go.
###Chapter 10 New Weapons###
The captain's cabin of the Black Pearl was kept clean and tidy by Barbossa. The lantern hanging in the corner swayed as the hull shook, and the dim yellow light seemed very soft.
Heather sat at the table where the nautical charts were spread out, holding a gold skull coin in his hand, lost in thought.
Yes, Heather took the initiative to let himself fall into the undead curse of Aztec gold coins, in order to experience the strangeness of this curse for himself, and also to experiment with the effect of exorcising the curse.
Facts have proved that the curse attached to Heather by the gold coins was easily removed, and there was no residue left.
No, it's not so much 'repel the curse', it's more like 'drive the curse that comes with this gold coin back into the gold coin', if someone takes this gold coin from Heather, the curse will transfer directly to this on people.
Deng Deng!
"Captain, your tea." A female voice sounded from outside the door.
"Come in, Miss Maria." Heather took the gold coin back into her palm and looked in the direction of the door.
The door opened, and a black girl with a bumpy figure walked in with a tea tray.
Her name is Maria, and she was one of the sailors hired by Jack before. The boat she depended on for a living was cheated by Jack. In order to collect the debt, she didn't care about getting on the boat and wanted to get a part of the treasure that Jack said. .Unexpectedly, he was captured by the undead pirates of the Black Pearl and locked in a cage not long after, and it was thanks to Heather that he could escape with his life.
After seeing the real face of Heather without glasses, Maria took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as Heather's maid before the ship returned to Port Royal, on the grounds that 'the captain is from a noble background at first sight, and may even be a prince of a great eastern country, How do you bunch of brutish men serve you well? '
It doesn't matter to Heather, this girl looks like a top version of Zoe Saldana, and her figure is so good.No kidding, Hollywood actress No. 1 at the box office, starring in three movies with a box office of more than 20 billion US dollars.This top-end version serves tea and water to myself. Heather, who was originally an "outsider", has not completely escaped from the mentality of an otaku, so she is really a little happy.
But it's just a little happy, no matter how beautiful Maria looks, it's not in Heather's strike zone, so there's no way to talk about the plots that you love and hear.
"Thank you very much, Miss Maria."
Taking the teacup handed over by Maria with a blushing face, Heather nodded slightly and thanked: "Is life on the boat still convenient? Did those rude guys cause you trouble?"
"No, no, thanks to your care, these pirates are very polite to me. Maria blushed and waved her hand: "Miss Elizabeth also takes good care of me... Oh, by the way, First Officer Barbossa asked me to ask you , is the nautical class going on tomorrow morning? "
"Tell our dear first mate, the class continues." Heather nodded and handed the drained cup to Maria: "You don't need to call me for dinner, you can handle it yourself. By the way, I don't have my permission from now on. , and no one is allowed to step into the captain's room and tell Jack and Barbossa this."
"Yes, Captain." Maria turned her head three times in reluctance, and closed the door slowly.
In the captain's room where calm was restored, Heather leaned back on the back of the chair, subconsciously playing with the gold skull coins between her fingers.Suddenly, he threw the gold coin back into the stone box, then walked to the stone box and squatted down, gently stroking the engraved patterns on the surface of the stone box.
This is the treasure of the Aztec Empire. 200 years ago, the Spaniard Hernán Cortes conquered the Aztec Empire and captured Montezuma II.
The Aztecs offered this stone chest, filled with a total of 882 gold skeleton coins, to redeem their king.But Cortes, who received this amazing wealth, broke his promise and greedily slaughtered the entire Aztec Empire.
The angry god cursed the stone box with the gold coins in it, and anyone who took the gold coins from the stone box would be tortured for eternity, and only blood could pay the blood debt.
Heather didn't feel any strange fluctuations or messages when using the curse removal method, and she didn't know whether the Aztec gods who had lost their faith and wind supply still existed in the world after 200 years.
Think more than act directly.
Heather sat cross-legged in front of the stone box, his hands hanging above the stone box, and his thoughts were no longer suppressed.
The next moment, the terrifying thoughts turned into pillars of fire, soaring into the sky!
Although the crew of the Black Pearl couldn't see their thoughts, they only felt that they were trapped in a dangerous and unfamiliar space.The more sensitive a person is, the stronger this feeling becomes.
Especially Jack and Barbossa, both of them looked towards the captain's room in unison.
Barbossa only felt that his heart, which had just recovered from beating for two days, was beating fiercely at this time, as if there was an unspeakable danger in the captain's room, and the whole person involuntarily stepped back, unwilling to approach the captain's room.
Jack took two steps forward, thinking that Maria had just told his captain the order before giving up.It's funny, this dangerous yet exciting unknown thing...is that what the teacher said?
As for Heather, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt the 'Outlander Tinder' beating in his chest was more cheerful.
The flames transformed by the thoughts became more and more solid and intense. The entire stone box and the 882 gold coins inside were bathed in the glow of the thoughts, and the surface seemed to melt.
The casting of mind energy lasted less than 5 minutes, and the flame suddenly began to fade by itself.
All the stone boxes and gold coins in front of Heather disappeared.
And in his mind, the ability to read opened a new page——
New category update!
Login, the effect is -
Heather looked at the reappearing stone box and gold coins, only to feel that the mental energy in his body had not diminished at all.This strength... is too much worse than it is?
Looking at the recast cooldown, it's actually only a pitiful 30 hours.
Heather didn't know if he had made a profit or lost. Forget it, at least a new category had been opened up.At the same time, Heather also understood the little trick of his ability to think. As long as he really believes that this thing really belongs to a 'weapon', he can try to recast it.
There is a bit of idealism, but the ability to read is the product of the ability of idealism.
So, it's time to try out the effects of this new 'weapon'.
###Chapter 11 Debt Issues###
The Outlander's Journey The Outlander and the Full-Time Hunter Chapter 11 The Debt Problem When Barbossa and Jack are allowed into the captain's room, they are immediately taken aback by the sight in front of them.
Suspended above the quaint Aztec stone chest was a large number of skeleton gold coins, which fluttered between Heather's fingers like nimble birds.
"Ah, gentlemen, just in time."
Heather hooked his finger at Barbossa. "Come here, Mr. Barbossa."
Looking at Heather's malicious face, Barbossa knew that he was not at ease, but he couldn't go against Heather's wishes, so he had to step forward as a bachelor: "What's your order, my lord?"
As soon as the words fell, a golden skull coin shot into Barbossa's chest like a lightning bolt, and instantly dissolved into thought energy and submerged into his body.
Barbossa's face changed greatly. For a moment, he thought he had been shot through the chest by a gold coin. He hurriedly patted and stroked on the chest, but he didn't see any injuries, not even a red mark.
What does this hairless bastard captain want to do?
Heather waved his hand, and the stone chest and gold coins disappeared.Then he looked at Jack and snapped his fingers: "My dear apprentice, let our first officer bleed."
"okay!"
Jack happily accepted this honorable task, took out a short knife from behind his waist and stabbed Barbossa directly on his chest.
Frightened and angry, Barbossa covered his chest and took a few steps back. He slammed into the wooden wall of the captain's room with a bang, his face pale: "Sir, I... I... Huh? Am I okay?"
He touched his chest, although there was blood oozing out, but this familiar feeling... How did he become immortal again?
Although it was not night, the real skeleton could not be revealed by moonlight, but Heather could be sure that Barbossa had indeed been cursed by gold coins and had become immortal.
Next, Heather asked Barbossa to leave the captain's cabin to move away from him, and even let him go for a walk on the Intrepid.Facts have proved that once the gold coins are turned into curses and melted into other people's bodies, the restriction of 'not to leave 3 meters around Heather' is automatically lifted.
This is good news. If you still can't leave the three meters around Heather after being cursed, then the curse coin might as well not exist.Moreover, the curse of gold coins still exists after the stone box is cancelled, which means that Heather can use other weapons at will, and is not limited by the 'single-weapon embodiment'.
After working for a long time, Heather let Barbossa return to the captain's room.
He re-embodied the stone box and had Barbossa stand in front of it.As soon as Barbossa entered within 3 meters of the stone box, he felt that he could take out the gold coin from his body.He stretched out his palm, and golden skull coins appeared in his palm.
