Chapter 412: Nautical Travel
When Ryan and Rose Crystal wake up the drunken Will and Jack, they rush to the city. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived in the city, the Black Pearl had already left, and the city was in chaos.
"Damn, Elizabeth was taken away by that group of pirates. Back at the smithy, Will went to inquire about the news, and soon found out that it was very bad news.
"It just so happens that I'm going to take back my ship, and you're going to take back your sweetheart. Let's embark on an adventure. Jack said as he looked at Ryan, who was chatting with Rose Crystal, "I think we need a boat first, what can you do?"
"Why don't we go to the Royal Navy for help? Will was the first to make his point.
"Hah, the Royal Navy? They don't know where the Black Pearl will go, and it will take some time to get there. In this case, it is likely that it will be too late in the end. The quickest thing for us to do is to hope that our amazing wizard has a good boat in his hands. ”
"I'm a wizard and not a captain, how can I have a ship?" Ryan looked at two pairs of expectant eyes into his eyes, remembering his steamship, and felt that it was not suitable to get here. Strange aside, at least Ryan didn't think the three of them would be able to drive away a steamboat.
"Aren't you a wizard? shouldn't you conjure up a boat with a wave of your wand? Jack asked.
"I'm a sorcerer, not a god. Besides, my boat can't be driven by myself. Looking at the disappointed eyes of the two people in front of him, he suddenly thought of something: "Wait, I remember, I really have a boat, the three of us can drive away." With that, he took the two of them and ran back to the seaside clearing they had bought earlier.
After arriving at the beach, Ryan opened the space door on the sea. A beautiful brig appeared on the surface of the sea. Captain Jack next to him had already let out an exclamation: "There are 23 cannon doors on one side door alone, this firepower is really strong enough." And I guess this guy must be fast, look at its mast and sails. ”
"Alright, get on board, it's time for our tracking to begin. Ryan stood on the side of the ship and shouted, "By the way, the question now is how do we find each other?"
"I think they must have gone to the same island where the Aztec gold coins were hidden. And I just happened to know where the island was. But really, even if the three of us can drive this boat, if we want to fight, the three of us will definitely not be enough, and I personally suggest that we go together first-" Captain Jack, who had just emerged from the deck, suddenly stopped his words, because he saw a magical ship.
The deck of the cabin is covered with a carpet of greenery, from which countless rattan sticks protrude from which they are responsible for steering the sails, rigging, and rudder. At the same time, the guns on the ship were neither bronze nor iron, but strange cannon-like things like long coconuts with open sides one by one, with wheels rolled into round leaves.
"Welcome to the Jackdaw. Ryan said proudly that the ship was built as a royal cruise ship in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, but Ryan and his family hardly used it in normal times, and they have always been a member of the Iron Gate Fort garrison fleet. When Ryan needed to use it just now, he summoned the ship directly through the shrine of the rose crystal above.
"Is this the wizards' ship?" exclaimed Will, who had climbed up with him.
"No, it's just my boat. Ryan remembered Durmstrang's boat. "Because I have a very useful helper, Xiaoqing, let's say hello to everyone. ”
As soon as the words fell, a large green serpent's head rose up and nodded to Captain Jack.
"Ah, hello!" Captain Jack greeted Qing with a slight wave of his hand. "Since there is this, well, Xiaoqing, I don't think we need to waste time going to Tortuga Island to recruit people, we can go directly to the Black Pearl. This saves us a lot of time and even gets to the treasure island early. ”
"So what else do you say? Let's go. After Lane finished speaking, he directly held the rudder with both hands, and Captain Jack felt a little strange when he found out that Lane was also extremely skilled in handling ships, after all, Lane was a wizard and not a captain.
"Because I learned how to steer a ship from a great captain. In the face of Captain Jack's question, Lane said directly, it seems that it is quite useful to spend a few years ago to learn Kenway's boating skills, especially when the like-minded pet Xiaoqing comes to control the ship, it is even more flexible than the skilled sailors in his memory. As long as he thinks of it, Xiaoqing can immediately use rattan to adjust the sails or artillery to the ideal state.
Having nothing to do, Captain Jack and Will begin to chat, and soon Captain Jack remembers Will's father, Shoelace Turner. At first, Will insists that his father was a law-abiding merchant sailor, but is persuaded by Captain Jack to believe that his father is a pirate. Of course, Will seems to have come to terms with it much faster than in the original, because now he knows that pirates aren't all bad guys, and what he knows from Captain Jack is that his father is the good guy among pirates, and because it's the good guy, he gets killed in the end.
"By the way, what is the purpose of helping us? I don't believe that there are selfless people in this world. Captain Jack said suddenly, to Ryan, who was steering the rudder.
"I want the cursed Aztec gold, and if I can figure out the mysteries of the transformation of life and death, I think I will take a very important step forward in making the Lady of the Roses. Ryan replied earnestly.
"I believe you, because this answer is wizarding. Jakesparrow shrugged his shoulders and staggered toward the bow of the boat.
Life magic was also the first major magic that Ryan studied, and after obtaining some of the secrets of alchemy and some of the secrets of the Red God of the World in A Song of Ice and Fire, he went far on this path. Whether it is from life to death or from death to life, he has a part of the knowledge, even the human resurrection technique of the red god, he has mastered the mysteries in it.
The reason why the red god can be resurrected is actually because there is no underworld in the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire", in this case, as long as the body is not completely dead, use the power of faith to pull the soul that drifts away from the body back, and use the power of faith to reactivate the body by the way. Therefore, this method will not work in either Middle-earth or the world of Harry Potter.
But he has never seen the operation of turning from an undead creature back into a living person, which is also the magic and preciousness of the Aztec gold coin, when the Aztec gold coin is cursed, the cursed person is an immortal himself, in the form of a corpse bone in the moonlight, and when the curse is lifted, he can regain flesh and blood, and when the curse is lifted, he can become a living again. What's more, as long as the person who meets the conditions to master the gold coins can change the form multiple times in a short period of time, and there will be no sequelae.
Ryan is going to study this thing and send it to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, so that he will have an undead army of 882 people. And this state of immortality can be used for them again in times of war, but not in peacetime, and even rotate a group of people every once in a while. You don't even have to worry about the psychological shadows.
This journey at sea is all guided by Jack's compass, which, according to Ryan's previous research, combines the power of divination, mind reading, and even some wish-making. However, Ryan did not have the urge to obtain this compass, on the one hand, the alchemical knowledge contained in this compass was not complicated, but it was just very cleverly synthesized. Ryan is confident that he will go back and make something similar to come out. On the other hand, in the fifth part, the compass is the key to a seal. Ryan doesn't want to be contaminated with so much cause and effect in this world.
Jack also breathed a sigh of relief, because not many people knew what he was doing with the compass. And this young wizard not only knows, but also has the ability to snatch this compass. But he just looked at it and didn't take it, which shows that he really has no ill will towards himself. At this time, Jack already thought in his heart that Ryan was a reliable friend for him.
And Will has a better impression of Ryan, because Ryan gave him the opportunity to marry the goddess in his heart. At the same time, he also runs back and forth to save his sweetheart, so he is naturally full of gratitude to Ryan.
In this way, the Jackdaw sailed fast in the Caribbean Sea, getting closer and closer to their destination.
