"You must have heard of Poseidon's Trident. Carl said with a smile.

"Poseidon's trident?" Barbossa's eyes narrowed into a slit in an instant.

Of course, he knows what Poseidon's trident is, and anyone who can get it will gain the divine power of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and this person will also become the ruler of the entire sea.

But......

"No one can find the Trident. Barbossa said categorically.

Karl shrugged noncommittally, and he spread his hands towards Barbossa, "I have a friend who happens to be in a similar situation to you. ”

As he spoke, Karl pointed to the ribs exposed to the moonlight in the tattered part of Barbossa's chest.

"And as far as I know," Karl smiled mysteriously, "the Trident can lift all curses on the sea—"

"And, of course, yours. Karl said, pointing to Barbossa's chest.

Barbossa's eyes widened suddenly.

......

The pillar of light didn't last long, and after a few seconds, the brightness faded and eventually vanished.

Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald, who had been on one knee, raised their heads and looked at the center of the magic circle, where a string of characters composed entirely of flames were sitting quietly.

Looking at the characters, Dumbledore's mouth erupted with a series of syllables of unknown meaning.

But looking at the expressions, both Voldemort and Grindelwald understood.

The expressions of all three of them became ugly, and of course, Voldemort's face was never good-looking.

"No, how could it not be?!" Grindelwald looked furious.

With that, he simply raised his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore's cheek, and asked sharply, "Albus, what the hell did you do to that boy!"

Dumbledore stood there stunned, as if he hadn't seen Grindelwald aim his wand.

It is unbelievable that the greatest wizard in the world has a bewildered expression on his face like an ordinary person.

This scene made Grindelwald, who was glaring at him angrily, a little soft, and the raised wand was slowly lowered, and his voice became much softer.

"Where were you going to take him in that room, Albus?"

Beside him, Voldemort, who was looking at the string of characters on the ground without saying a word, raised his head, and an inexplicable light flashed in his crimson eyes.

Glancing at Grindelwald, Dumbledore sighed heavily.

"I wanted to take him to see something—"

At this point, Dumbledore paused and looked at Voldemort, who was staring at him intently.

"Tom, I don't think I would have done that even if I had asked you to leave you now, so I'm not going to do that, but I hope that after knowing this secret, you will understand something. ”

"You should know, Tom, there's a dilapidated arch in the death chamber of the Department of Mysteries, and that door leads to death. ”

"But what I don't think you know is that there's another place that leads to death, of course, I guess by now. ”

"There is a room for everything. As if whispering, Voldemort whispered.

"Yes. Dumbledore nodded.

"The Room of Requirement can fulfill your needs, so it can also lead you to death. ”

"You're going to take that boy to death?" Grindelwald grew furious.

"You're a little concerned, Gellert. Dumbledore said mildly.

"Of course I can't take Carl to die, and that's the magic of the Room of Requirement, it can take you to death, but because it's the House of Requirement, it will bring you back when you really want to return. ”

In an instant, Voldemort's breathing became a little heavier, and even Grindelwald's eyes widened.

Seeing this, Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, "It's not as easy as you imagined, if you want to use that room to return from death, you need to ask sincerely, that room will test you-"

"First of all, your will must be strong enough to keep you awake in that endless journey without the concept of time and space, and not to lose your way, and at the same time, and most crucially, you can't just be born for the sake of life, but you need a positive, upward attitude, in short......"

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort, "You need good thoughts. ”

After saying that, Dumbledore ignored Voldemort, whose eyes were full of shock, and turned his head to look at Grindelwald: "So, Gellert, you have been saying that you hope that Karl will return from the journey of death." ”

"Actually, the way back has always been there. ”

"That's what I originally wanted to do with Carl in that room—"

"I want to take him to touch death. ”

......

"As far as I know, you have a journal with a ruby set on it. Looking at Barbossa, Karl continued.

"Where did you know that?!"

First the curse of the gold coin, and now the diary, the always shrewd Barbossa suddenly had the illusion that the color of his underwear was exposed to the boy in front of him.

Karl didn't answer, but looked at Barbossa and said, "Can you show me the diary?"

After a moment's hesitation, Barbossa nodded.

"Come with me. ”

With that, he turned towards the captain's room.

The captain's cabin of the Black Pearl is like her hull itself, with a bit of opulence in its low-key elegance, and the flickering candlelight gives the captain's cabin a bit of ghostly air.

Karl followed Barbossa into the house.

Without the rays of the moon, Barbossa suddenly regained his appearance as a living person.

Carl looked at the interior of the captain's interior and the first thing he saw was a long desk covered with various nautical charts, compasses and rulers.

In the upper left corner of the table is a small book with a brown-red cover, with a red gem embedded in it, and a trident pattern of five stars drawn underneath the gem.

Without Barbossa's reminder, Carl picked up the small notebook from the table, opened it and looked at the contents:

Today the sky is overcast, the waves are about three meters, and the North Star cannot be seen, sailing fifty nautical miles to the southwest, and the constellation Lyra is located at 45 degrees to the east.

And so on.

"It's useless, I've studied it for a long time, Galileo spent his whole life looking for the Trident, but he didn't write the map in his diary. Barbossa said, standing next to him.

In fact, as Barbossa said, there is only a few mentions of the Trident in the diary, but there is no specific direction, just various voyage records and some related astrological guidance.

Carl looked at it for a while, until he had gone through the entire journal, then he looked up at Barbossa and laughed, "Actually, you just lack one thing." ”

As he spoke, his fingers caught a slight flame, and his fingers rubbed against the cover of the diary.

Soon, the diary began to smoke.

"No!

Carl didn't dodge, and allowed Barbossa to snatch the diary.

Ignoring nothing else, Barbossa hurriedly inspected the damage to the diary, but to his surprise, there was no damage to the diary in the slightest, except for something more on the cover of the diary.

"What did you do?" Barbossa looked at Karl suspiciously.

Before Carl could answer, he had already discovered it himself.

"This is?!"

Barbossa's eyes widened, and he saw that on the cover of the diary, somehow there was an extra line of text and pictures than usual.

- If you want to unleash the divine power of the sea, everything will be separated.

In addition, underneath the trident made of five stars, the pattern of an island is clearly displayed there.

However, there was not the slightest joy on Barbossa's face, his head bowed, his eyes fixed on the island pattern in the diary, and his brow furrowed.

"What?" asked Karl.

Barbossa did not answer immediately, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he finally looked at him, his voice full of regret.

"You don't understand, boy, the constellations will only give you a general direction, and you can't determine the exact position of the ship without charts to confirm the course. When you get to the sea, you will find that when you reach what you think is the right goal, there is nothing there, and you don't even know where you are. ”

"You mean that the Trident can be found as long as the exact position of the ship can be determined?" Karl looked at Barbossa curiously.

"Of course. Barbossa nodded, "The general direction of the island can be basically demarcated through the contents of the diary, as long as the ship's position can be confirmed, it is only a matter of time before the island is found." ”

"How accurate does it need to be?" asked Carl.

"Of course, the higher the better, but at least it has to be accurate to 100 nautical miles, and it doesn't make sense to be bigger. Barbossa said a number.

Karl's face was even more eccentric.

Barbossa finally noticed Karl's face.

"Can you do it with magic?" he looked at Carl in surprise.

"Magic doesn't work. Karl shook his head.

"But science can. ”

Under Barbossa's bewildered gaze, Karl raised the watch on his wrist.

"I happened to be in geography class for a few days. ”
