Chapter 14: A Little Favor
Carl has always believed that his intelligence is definitely the best in the world.
Comparable to his unparalleled looks.
His magic, the mortal taboo, three times a day, must not be exceeded—Karl remembered this sentence clearly.
With a wave of his hand, the flames that enveloped the Black Pearl vanished, and Carl stepped onto the deck.
However, there was still a slight flame left in his fingertips, burning quietly.
Fierce fire, this evil fire that can burn all things, once cast, unless the caster takes the initiative to dismantle, it will burn forever, and it will become stronger and stronger, which is the basis for him to run rampant in this life.
The flames cleared, and the pirates finally breathed a sigh of relief, and along with Barbossa, everyone's eyes followed Carl.
"Is there anything you need, wizard?" asked Barbossa again.
Then, as if thinking of something, he looked straight into Carl's eyes.
"If you need a ransom, I'll take care of all your needs, as long as you don't destroy the Black Pearl......"
"And don't kill the crew!" said one of the pirates, who volunteered, looking much fatter than the other pirates, even though he had only a pair of bones left.
Pinter, one of the Black Pearl's first mates, stood beside him a lean man who contrasted greatly with his figure.
"Shut up, idiot!" Barbossa glared at him, and Pinterel was stunned.
Karl didn't answer Barbossa immediately, he walked around the foredeck, came to the side of the ship, and poked his head out to look at the oversized hull below, the black hull that stretched out where he couldn't see.
He hadn't seen it from a distance before, but now that he was on the ship, he realized that the ship was so huge and beautiful.
Its beauty is unassuming, and the classical and charming carvings are hidden in the understated and pure black, and if it is only a brief glimpse, it is difficult to perceive the indescribable beauty contained in it.
But, standing on the boat, Karl clearly felt it.
Retracting his leaning body, his gaze moved to the creation on the deck, the towering mast and the huge black sails that looked stunningly beautiful in the moonlight.
Touching the wooden boat, the cold and firm touch made Carl can't help but squint his eyes.
Turning his head, he looked at Barbossa, who was standing not far away, and said with a smile: "You know, in fact, I have always wanted to have a ship like this. ”
......
The sculpture in the center of the park has been leveled, and Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort are standing on the ground out of the clearing, announcing their appearances.
All three had serious expressions, each with a wand in their hands.
At the feet of the three of them was a strangely shaped magic array.
If Carl was here, he would have been very surprised.
With the development of modern magic, wizards have not used magic circles to cast spells for hundreds of years.
"Let's get started. Dumbledore nodded at the other two.
Almost without distinction, the three of them whispered an unknown incantation at the same time.
As the incantation was chanted, a strange wave flowed between the three of them, and finally converged into the circle at the feet of the three of them.
One by one, the runes on the circle lit up, and eventually, when the last rune was fully lit.
"It's now!"
Dumbledore shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the three of them raised their wands at the same time, and the tip of the wand glowed softly.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them jumped out of the magic array together, knelt on one knee on the edge of the magic array, inserted the wand in their hands into the circle of the magic array, and shouted in unison: "Disappear!"
In an instant, pillars of light rose from the magic array, illuminating the entire sky as if it were day.
......
“...... Actually, I've always wanted to have a ship like this. Karl looked at Barbosa and smiled.
As soon as the words fell, almost instinctively, Barbossa's hand reached directly for the long sword at his waist.
No one could snatch the Black Pearl from his hands, no one.
At the same time, seeing the captain draw his sword, the pirates immediately instinctively drew their weapons.
But when they realized who their opponent was, half of the pirates laid down their weapons.
And the other half, when Karl's gaze met them, they immediately lowered their swords in their hands.
"Actually, we just want to put some oil on the weapon. The ship's mate, Pintel, smiled awkwardly but politely, and had a jawlett yellow tooth, his bald head, which shone even though it was white in the moonlight.
At the front, Barbossa glanced back at one of his subordinates, and Pintel waved him awkwardly, a smirk.
Seeing this, Barbossa finally couldn't help but roll his eyes again, and then he looked back at Carl.
At this time, on the Black Pearl, he was the only one who still pointed his weapon at Karl.
"The Black Pearl can't be used to pay the ransom!" Barbossa said categorically, without the slightest hesitation in his voice.
"What if you trade it for it?" Karl grinned as he took out a gold coin carved with a skeleton from his bosom and threw it at Barbossa.
Barbossa took the gold coin, spread it out in his palm and glanced at it, and immediately looked up at Karl in surprise.
"Who are you, boy, what's your last name?"
Carl shook his head, "Don't think about it, I don't have a surname called Turner." ”
"Where did you hear that last name?!" Barbossa did not appear disappointed, but wary.
"You could think I've read a lot. Karl shrugged indifferently and laughed.
"However, although I don't have a surname Turner, I can help you find his descendants. ”
Now, Barbossa didn't care about anything else.
"At what cost?" he asked.
Even though he was full of eagerness, Barbossa's tone was still very calm.
"I said, I want the Black Pearl—" Karl waved his hands at Barbossa.
"This one won't work, change another one!" Barbossa still shook his head.
"Can you hear me finish. Karl looked helplessly at the legendary pirate in front of him.
It seems that once it was related to the Black Pearl, the pirate became a little less calm.
"I don't want the Black Pearl, I want you-"
"I can't either!" Barbossa decisively refused, his voice louder than before.
He looked Karl up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on his pure white hair and near-perfect face, and he secretly underestimated it.
Could it be that because I've been drifting at sea for so long, I don't even know that the wind direction has changed recently?
Anyone would even take a fancy to his old bones?!
Seeing Barbossa's expression, Karl immediately guessed what was in his mind and couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
"I don't want you either!"
Without giving Barbossa a chance to speak, Karl immediately continued, "I want you to do me a small favor with the Black Pearl." ”
With a long sigh of relief, Barbossa asked, "What's the hurry?"
Karl curled the corners of his mouth, "As far as I know, you've probably heard of Poseidon's Trident, right?"
