Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Richest Man
"You promised me that I would take you to Tia Dolma, and that you would give me back the compass and help me recover the Black Pearl, and that I would be told one of the gold Aztec coins, and that I would be able to pull the shoelace of Bill's bloodline." As Jack said the last sentence, he leaned closer to Tang Bai, and his voice became softer. By the time he said the last sentence, he had already come to Tang Bai's side, and his voice became something that only the two of them could hear.
Debell and Adelson looked at the two from a distance, and did not follow suit.
"Where's Angelica?" Tang Bai took two steps back and looked at Jack.
"You can let her go whenever you want." Jack was stunned for a moment, stretched out a finger in each hand, and turned around to point at Angelica, who was standing nearby.
"Jack, I still have a compass, I can't give it to you for a while." Tang Bai gently patted Jack's shoulder.
"So you want to break your word?" Jack looked at Tang Bai with a stinky face.
"It's just a postponement of execution." Tang Bai replied lazily. In Tang Bai's inner cognition, before his goal was fully achieved, it was best to keep the compass in his own hands.
"I've always believed in you, Don." Jack spread out his hands, a thick air of depression on his face.
"You can perform better, but I still won't give you the compass." Tang Bai said and turned around and stepped up the stairs and entered his captain's room.
Jack also wanted to follow, but was startled by the little dragon who was lying on Tang Bai's shoulder, suddenly turned his head and grinned at his fierce teeth, took a step back, and when he entered again, he ate a simple closed door.
"Prepare to stealth!" By this time the ship had already sailed some way forward, and Adelson roared.
The pirates, who were already familiar with the Dragon, immediately grabbed what they could hold at hand. Even Jack subconsciously hugged the stair railing in his hand.
The huge hull began to dive rapidly, and the sails that looked like a membrane began to grow wildly. When the sea water is flush with the ship's side, the thin and tough sail membrane has already wrapped the whole ship from top to bottom. The ship sank into the sea, and the sea poured down, and in the blink of an eye, the dragon had lost its figure.
During this time, the Dragon has been almost exclusively on the bottom of the sea. This would save you a lot of unnecessary fighting and interrogation. After experiencing the first shock and amazement, everyone slowly expressed their surprise at this.
Oxygen ship monsters can be converted and supplied. As long as the food carried on the ship was sufficient, Tang Bai and they could even survive on the bottom of the sea for a long time. There were fears that the sail membrane that wrapped around the hull of the ship would crack due to some accident and bury them all at sea.
Even with Tang Bai's assurance, everyone still has apprehension in their hearts. But now everyone's worries are behind them. The strength of the sail membrane surpasses all realizations. Neither the knife nor the fire could make it crack a single small opening.
More than two-thirds of the three-month residency has passed.
Although Tang Bai did not find the location of the spring of life, his trip was not for nothing. He has successfully reached the problem that he most urgently needs to solve. He successfully signed a contract with Xiaolong, and gave Xiaolong the potential and ability to transform to a higher level.
As for the issue of the Fountain of Youth, in the case of Jack's magic compass not working, it still needs to be slowly figured out.
In Tang Bai's heart, the ancestral nautical chart of Shao Feng, one of the nine pirate kings, may be more coveted than Jack's magic compass.
It leads to many mysterious places where even a magic compass can't point you in the right direction. As long as the nautical chart can be understood, then the person who owns the nautical chart will be able to obtain the right of access and ownership of these mysterious places.
Bang bang bang!
A continuous knock on the door woke Tang Bai from his contemplation, and he hooked his fingers, and the door to the captain's room suddenly opened.
"Hello, Don!" Jack Sparrow stood outside the door with a smile on his face, holding two bottles of rum in his hand and shaking it to Tang Bai and gestured.
"Jack, I won't give you the compass for the time being, and I haven't changed my mind about that yet." Looking at Jack at the door like a cowhide plaster, Tang Bai also sighed a little helplessly.
"No, no, no! I'm not here to ask you for the broken compass, though it's mine. I'm here for another deal. A fortune, Don! Jack walked on tiptoe into Tang Bai's captain's cabin, kicked his heel back, closed the wide open door with his foot, and walked as he went.
"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, you still owe Debel money for his drinks. An inexplicable smile appeared on Tang Bai's face, looking at Jack with his eyes rolling.
"I'll change the money for baby Debell's drink, and now we're going to discuss a big deal." Jack stood in front of Tang Bai's table, tilted his head, and placed a bottle of rum on the table with one hand, the bottom of the bottle and the thick body made a dull sound.
"Oh? What kind of business can make the legendary Captain Jack so serious? Looking at Jack Sparrow opposite, Tang Bai immediately realized that he was afraid that he had thought of some way to get some benefits from himself or help.
Jack is very smart, and his proposal can always easily hook that touch the ** in most people's hearts. Had it not been for the fact that before he was on board, there had already been a rebellion on board the Dragon. With Jack's demagogic skills and tongue, it is estimated that he can also incite a rebellion-like chaos, and then observe the wind and wait for an opportunity to act.
"You should know the treasure of Barbossa, right? Over the years, he has taken possession of the Black Pearl, but he has plundered many ships and accumulated a lot of treasure. I will help you find these treasures and give them to you, and you promise to help me bring the Black Pearl back from him. What do you think? Jack poured himself a sip of rum and looked at Tang Bai and said.
"Oh?" An inexplicable smile appeared on Tang Bai's face.
"Of course, the compass is yours too." Looking at the smile on Tang Bai's face, Jack also tilted his head and smiled, adding.
"Do you know who the richest man in the world is?" Tang Bai looked at Jack and asked.
"The King?" Jack frowned, a little baffled by Tang Bai's irrelevant inquiry.
"No, it's the man who is in charge of the sea, and of life and death, and of countless shipwrecks - Davy Jones!"
Tang Bai gently spit out a person's name, and the smile on Jack's face suddenly became unnatural.
