Chapter Ninety-Two: The Compass
"Tia Dolma? What are you looking for that crazy bwat for? Jack looked surprised.
"I don't have to explain anything to you, Jack. You just have to take me there. Tang Bai sat back on his chair and said softly.
"No, no, no, I refuse." Jack shook his head firmly. If it weren't for the last resort, he would never have appeared in front of that woman again.
"Jack," Tang Bai leaned back in his chair and recited Jack's name in a lengthened tone, he looked at Jack and shook his head, "I'm not asking for this, do you understand Jack?" ”
"So what is it?" Jack's eyes vaguely glanced at Angelica behind Tang Bai, "Threat? ”
"I don't need to." Tang Bai stood up from the chair, he looked at Jack, and said softly in a tone full of regret: "I thought you would cooperate with me obediently, it seems that this is a luxury." Adson! ”
Tang Bai snorted lightly, and Adson, who had been standing in front of the door, immediately strode in. Under Tang Bai's eyes, seven or eight pirates with big shoulders and round waists immediately pressed towards Jack unreasonably, and pressed him to a chair.
"I seem to remember that you have a magical compass that can guide you in the direction of what you want most in your heart." Tang Bai said as he took the inconspicuous compass from Adson's hand.
Then, under Jack's nervous eyes, Tang Bai was meditating on Tia Dorma's place of residence in his heart, while staring closely at the compass where the pointer kept turning. It's just a pity that the compass seems to be affected by some mysterious force, and the hands keep spinning, but they never stop.
Tang Bai put the compass in his hand on the lid, shook it in his hand, and continued to open it, thinking about the location of the Fountain of Youth, but as Tang Bai had a hunch in his heart, the pointer was still rotating without a sense of direction.
Jack's compass from Tia Dorma, the goddess of the sea, doesn't seem to be able to point out some strange things. Like the only way to get to the end of the world on the other side can you get lost? Or maybe it's shrouded and protected by some strange power, like a site like the Fountain of Youth.
The compass itself came from Tia Dorma, and if she didn't want to be known the address of her residence, it was perfectly normal that the compass would not be able to guide her.
Although the compass did not play its due role, this did not mean that Tang Bai was helpless and had no other way except to threaten Angelica and others. The simplest is to use the truth elixir. As long as you get a detailed route from Jack, with these sailors on your ship, you can always find your destination.
"Jack, you shouldn't hide anything if you're interested." Angelica stood up and said to Jack with a cold face.
Tang Bai glanced at Angelica with a smile. Angelica was undoubtedly helping Jack by doing this, but in a subtle and clever way. However, Tang Bai did not have any dissatisfaction with Angelica's behavior, but was a little happy to see it.
"How about this, I will exchange a piece of information, and a promise, for your intelligence and help." Tang Bai held the compass in his hand, squatted down in front of Jack, and said in a transactional negotiation style.
"I'm listening." Jack struggled with his bent body, which was crushed by the arms of the crowd.
Tang Bai waved his hand and gestured, and the sailor who grabbed Jack let go and pushed away. Tang Bai stood up from the ground and said slowly, "I can promise to help you recapture the Black Pearl, and tell you the whereabouts of one of them, and perhaps the last Aztec gold coin." ”
"I'm interested in your promise, but I need to know a little more about Aztec gold." For Tang Bai's proposal, Jack's face really showed an interested look.
"There are 882 Aztec gold coins cursed, and whoever takes them from the chest will be cursed forever. In the two years since you were missing, Captain Barbossa has been almost frantically looting merchant ships at sea and harbors in the surrounding seas in order to lift his curse, collecting the Aztec gold they spent. ”
Tang Bai paused for a moment, and then said, "I don't know how many of these cursed gold coins Captain Barbossa has collected now, but there is one that Bill Turner, who was once sunk into the sea with a cannon tied to them, sent to his only son. I think the great Captain Jack Sparrow you should know what this news means. It meant that Barbossa wanted to lift their curse, and the child with Bill Turner's bloodline, as well as the last Aztec gold coin, were indispensable. ”
Jack's eyes rolled in his sockets and cocked his orchid fingers, "Alright, the deal is set!" You must first help me recapture the Black Pearl, and then I will tell you where Tia Torma lives, and I will take you with me myself. ”
"No, no, no! You take me to Tia Torma first, I don't have much time to waste for the time being. And with all due respect, the cursed Captain Barbossa and his crew, though they live in torment and pain at all times, their immortality is also a bit of a problem for me and my crew until it is lifted. ”
Tang Bai shook his head firmly. With Tang Bai's understanding of Jack, after the other party gets the Black Pearl, he may go back on his word and play some other means to fool himself. Even if Jack honestly kept the agreement and took him to find Tia Dolma, the time wasted during the period was intolerable to Tang Bai.
In Tang Bai's heart, he didn't have much time to squander and waste in this world. Although the Black Pearl is mostly only active in the Caribbean Sea and the Caspian Sea, it is not easy to collide with it.
"Can I trust you?" Jack Lanhua tapped his fingers, leaned back and frowned.
"At least you don't have a better choice right now, do you?" Tang Bai said with a smile.
Jack paused, "It looks like it is." However, there are a few small additional requirements. ”
"What?" Tang Bai had a little doubt on his face.
"First, you have to promise me that you can't hurt Angelica." Jack tilted his head sideways, and his orchid finger gently pointed in the direction where Angelica was, and leaned over to Tang Bai's side and lowered his voice.
"I never intended to hurt her, she could get off the boat at any time and be free." Tang Bai smiled bitterly in his heart and nodded.
"Second, you have to give me back my compass." Jack nodded in satisfaction, and continued.
"That's not going to work, at least until you find Tia Dolma, it doesn't belong to you." Tang Bai refused Jack's request without thinking about it.
"Deal." Jack shook hands with Tang Bai.
