Chapter 133: Unknown
"That's it?" Tang Bai was surprised and rubbed the round coin in his hand with his fingertips.
"Like the Aztec gold coins and the gold Galleons, there are exactly the same magic fluctuations on them." Jing Ling's voice sounded clearly in Tang Bai's mind, proving it to him again and again.
Hearing this, Tang Bai didn't ask anymore, but carefully put away those wooden round coins one by one, and put them together with the wooden box that seemed to fall apart when he was worn out the next moment.
"What did you find?" The voices of Jack and the others sounded behind Tang Bai, along with the footsteps of them kicking the water splash under their feet.
"Nothing, just a few fun gadgets." Tang Bai's face remained unchanged and he turned around and tossed the few wooden round coins in his hand in front of everyone. The workmanship of these wooden coins is not exquisite, it can even be said to be very rough, it is a circular outline, and the only decoration on it is a few haphazard wisps.
The only thing that makes people feel strange is the material of the coin itself. Although it looks like a wooden coin, it feels like it is touching a metal object such as gold, silver, and ironware.
Hard, cold, heavy.
"Really?" Jack glanced at Tang Bai suspiciously, and reached out to take a wooden coin from his hand to look at it carefully, but was stopped by Tang Bai lightly.
"Captain Barbossa, may I ask?" Tang Bai clutched the wooden coins tightly in the palm of his hand, stood up and looked at Barbossa, who was walking with Jack.
Barbossa touched his chest with one hand and bowed to Tang Bai's seemingly respectful one: "Of course you can, just ask, as long as I know, I will never hide anything." ”
"That's so thankful." Tang Bai nodded with a smile, spread out his clenched palm, and put the wooden coins in his palm under Barbossa's eyes: "Take a look at these coins and that box, do you have any impression of them?" ”
Asking this sentence, Tang Bai didn't have much expectation for Barbossa's answer. After all, there are so many treasures here, so many that they are dizzying and dizzying. Under the accumulation of so many treasures, everyone's attention is almost firmly attracted by these treasures that shimmer with a charming luster, where can they take care of some items that are not very brilliant.
This can be seen by the little dragon who is still playing in the pile of gold, and the pirates under his command who are still reveling, waving piles of gold coins with their arms, and creating a rain of gold coins in this cave. Compared to the piles of gold coins and jewelry, the wooden coins in Tang Bai's hands, as well as the dilapidated wooden box, were simply useless and worthless.
Even Barbossa, the owner of these treasures, would not be able to remember the origin of every precious jewel here, or tell exactly how much gold and silver treasure there was. Not to mention these worthless items. The reason why Tang Bai knew this and still asked was only out of a kind of dedication mentality.
Barbossa picked up a wooden coin from Tang Bai's hand, held it up in front of his eyes and rummaged it left and right for a while, and then put it back in Tang Bai's hand, shaking his head unexpectedly and saying, "I have no impression of these. Maybe it's here in the first place, or maybe it's from one of the merchant ships I've plundered. ”
"Thank you for your answer." Tang Bai threw the wooden coins in his hand, as well as the dilapidated box in the corner, into the mirror world. I didn't go to any other corner to investigate whether there would be any fish caught in the net.
For this kind of item containing strange magical powers, Tang Bai trusted Jing Ling's sensitive exploration even more. Except for the few wooden coins that he had already taken into his hand and the wooden box that was about to fall apart, the mirror spirit did not detect the existence of similar items.
However, Tang Bai was already very satisfied with the harvest of this trip. The purpose of his trip was to obtain the whole box, a full eight hundred and eighty-two pieces of gold Aztec coins, those peculiar wooden coins, which were completely unexpected. Although it is not clear which world those wooden coins lead to, for Tang Bai, one more world to choose from is one more benefit.
"If you don't have any objections, may I ask, can we begin the ceremony?" Thanks to Tang Bai, Barbossa just pursed his lips, and after a vague glance at Will Turner who was not far away, he turned his head and said to Tang Bai.
Help Barbossa lift the curse of the Aztec coins.
This is one of the basic conditions for Tang Bai and Barbossa to make a deal.
Seeing that he was hopeful of lifting the curse, Barbossa now had some impatience. Even the tone of his speech unconsciously brought a little eagerness and nervousness.
"As you wish." Tang Bai raised his eyebrows, opened his hand and gestured left and right. Under the gaze of Barbossa, Jack and the others, he walked to the chest containing the gold Aztec coins. With the force of his palm, he moved the lid of the box most of the way, revealing a whole box of Aztec gold coins that were neatly arranged and glittered in the light of the fire.
"Mr. Will?" Tang Bai stretched out his right arm and made an inviting gesture to Will Turner below.
Will whispered a few words of comfort to Elizabeth beside her, and under her worried gaze, he strode to Tang Bai's side.
"I hope you can do what you promise me." Will looked at Tang Bai with a serious expression.
"I've always been a man of my word, you just have to wait. I may not be able to bring you a living father, but I promise to set him free. Tang Bai didn't know when there was already a silver dagger in his hand, and he said sideways.
"What should I do?" Hearing this, Will didn't continue to ask anything, but looked at the dagger in Tang Bai's hand and the Aztec gold coins in the box, and turned his face to ask Tang Bai.
"It's simple, just a little bit of your blood." Tang Bai said as he stuffed the last Aztec gold coin into the palm of Will's hand, and the hand holding the dagger cut a deep wound in Will's palm holding the gold coin. Warm red blood flowed from the wound in an instant, staining Will's clenched palm and the gold Aztec coin in his palm.
Barbossa's eyes widened, watching Tang Bai's every move without blinking. Especially after the bloodstained gold coin in Will's palm fell from his loose palm back into the box containing the Aztec gold coin, Barbossa's body trembled slightly.
Years of curse have numbed Barbossa to their senses. He seemed to feel as if he hadn't changed at all, as if he had changed.
