Part 5 Pirate Legend 46, Fall into the Trap

After the Lord of the Rings was activated by the Bronze Mirror, General Carlos made the fatal mistake of believing that he was a descendant of Solomon and Queen Sheba, and that he was taking Father Simon Almeida hostage by Jack as the embodiment of King Solomon, and that they were not good people through his observation at the stake.

Although Carlos could sense the existence of the Golden Ark of the Covenant, he just didn't know where to start, and he should need other tools to cooperate in order to prepare to find Solomon's treasure, so he used the crystal skull, or the crystal ball as the key to unlock the treasure, and no longer executed Jack, and brutally tortured him every day, trying to force him to hand over the two treasures.

Jack has lost all his bargaining chips, he is very conscious, his own life is like a mustard, snatching Tridani's mysterious speedboat, now in the hands of Carlos, the symbol of the sun god "The Lord of the Ring" has been confiscated, the crystal bracelet has been snatched by Simon Almeida, the crystal skull fell into the sea, and the crystal ball, the statue of the Virgin Mary and the astrological version, all returned to their original owners, if Carlos knew that he had nothing, he would definitely die.

Tridani returns to the Solomon Islands to get General Carlos to reclaim his ring if he has the chance, while Carlos's attention is focused on Jack, who is tortured every day, and has a deep understanding of his state of mind.

Everyone knows that Tridani, as Father Augustine, followed the old navigator Sir Mendner, and it was they who "discovered" the "Treasure of Solomon", after Mendner's death, he has been working for old Mr. Fili, in the name of exploring the southern New World, came here to hunt for treasure for ten years, and finally returned with a feather, and finally pissed off old Filip, therefore, in the eyes of General Carlos, this person is a waste.

No matter how Tridani behaved, he didn't get the favor of the Imperial general, and after thinking about it, he thought that he could use that damn Jack to make Carlos look at him differently.

First of all, he told the story of his ten years of treasure hunting, and tried his best to say that he was stupid, and took the opportunity to persuade Carlos that it would be useless to continue to find him.

Since Carlos didn't know the origin of the treasure, Tridani didn't say a word about Oseia, Zhu Hui, Bai Haishan and others, but he put many far-fetched clues on Jack's head, and then he made up a lie and told Carlos that if he wanted to find the exact location of the treasure, he had to rely on the crystal ball that Jack hid, which happened to be in line with Carlos's judgment.

In the end, Tridani stated that he was willing to sacrifice Carlos to try to find out the whereabouts of the crystal ball in order to gain access to Jack's secret, and General Carlos agreed.

Wu Xiang was angry with Tridani, and as soon as the two met, they fought, and Carlos asked Tridani to be beaten to a black eye, then tied him up and sent him to a prison cell.

When Jack saw that a difficult brother had come in, he endured the pain and showed a smug smile, and it seemed that he would no longer be lonely in the future.

While Jack was playing Tridani, the Ming soldiers were negotiating with General Carlos......

The purpose of Han Xiaoyu and the others on this trip is to find Zhu Hui, because Simon Almeida was captured by the python, and now the only clue is the one-eyed dragon Jack, but they have no chance to contact it, so they want to participate in the interrogation of Jack.

In prison, Tridani was taunted by Jack, but not only did he not get angry, but he had special respect for the one-eyed pirate, which made Jack a little embarrassed.

Brothers and brothers "sympathize with each other", Tridani pulled Jack, who was covered in bruises, couldn't help but burst into tears, and asked in a low voice: "Good brother, do you know why I came in?" ā€

"You damn thing, who let you run back without any trouble."

"Jack, don't look at me as a priest of the Augustinian Church, in fact, I am a Freemason, I know you too, no matter how you treated me before, as a Masonic brother, I am in trouble because of you, I hope that the two of us will be in the same boat and love each other in the future."

Jack was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly." ā€

"Good brother, I know that Carlos didn't kill you because you never told the whereabouts of the crystal ball, but now the big thing is not good, and the secret of the crystal ball has been revealed."

"May I ask why you say that?"

"It was for you to keep a secret that I got into a fight with someone, and as a result, Carlos was caught in prison."

Jack was surprised and asked, "Why are you fighting people?" ā€

"Then Wu Xiang and Carlos drank together, and talked about the crystal ball, saying that it was taken away by Shaman Ekismo, and the crystal man was broken up and fell into the sea; For your safety, I clashed with Carlos if I couldn't let him know the truth, but General Carlos would rather believe him than me, and beat me up, so it seems that you have no value anymore. ā€

Jack's one-eyed light flashed fiercely, and he said viciously: "This hateful Ming Dynasty man, I will kill him!" ā€

At the same time, in the command compartment of the warship, negotiations continued......

Because the soldiers of the Ming army were the first to discover the attack of the python, if they hadn't resisted, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and their heroic behavior impressed General Carlos, but despite this, they still didn't trust Han Xiaoyu and the others, and they were never allowed to contact Jack.

In prison, Tridani is giving Jack ideas......

If Carlos interrogated Jack again, he would be sure that the crystal ball was in the hands of the chief of Oseia, Bai Haishan, and taught him a set of rhetoric for actively "confessing": the so-called "treasure of Solomon" is actually the property that the great pirate king of the East has accumulated all his life, which was quietly transported to Oseia by the white sea mountain, and then buried in this archipelago, just because the golden ark of the covenant is also in it, so that the world mistakenly thinks that this is Solomon's treasure.

Therefore, as long as you catch the White Sea Mountain, you can find the treasure with or without a crystal ball, and you must let the Imperial Navy start a war against Oseiah, so that Jack may still have a chance to live.

In fact, Tridani's wishful thinking is that if Jack confesses according to this statement, then, before starting the war against Oseia, Carlos does not dare to ignore the life and death of the old Fili father and son, and then give him an idea, only he is familiar with Oseya, and in the name of taking back the old Fili and his son, he may be able to deceive the magical speedboat.

In the command cabin of the warship, although General Carlos refused the request of Han Xiaoyu and others, he was still very polite to them, and when he entertained them for dinner, he talked about Jack's theft of San Diego Cathedral, and Zhang Gou'er inadvertently told the origin of the crystal ball and the process of being taken away by Shaman Ekismo, which shocked General Carlos.

Tridani taught Jack a set of lies, and he was going to stay in a cell for a day, waiting for Carlos to come to him to understand the situation, and when the time came, he told the lies, and Carlos would inevitably interrogate Jack, as long as his statement was consistent with his own, even if he succeeded, General Carlos would definitely look at him differently.

As long as the Imperial Navy sends Oseia, there is hope to deceive the magic speedboat, even if the deception is unsuccessful and does not get Carlos's trust, he can still act at the opportunity, even if Osea wins, it is not a good thing for Tridani, he can take the opportunity to defect to old Fili; As for Jack's fate, he can only leave it to fate.

Tridani thinks that maybe Carlos will interrogate the Ming soldiers, and it is obvious that Han Xiaoyu and others will definitely tell the truth, but they will not admit that the "Solomon Treasure" was transported by Bai Haishan; However, as long as he and Jack are determined, I believe that the Imperial Navy will not let them go, and they will be killed en masse, and what the fate of these people is, it doesn't matter so much at the moment.

Just when Tridani was secretly proud and Jack had just memorized that set of lies, the reception banquet for the Ming soldiers was over.

General Carlos, upon learning of the whereabouts of the crystal ball, decides to put Jack at the stake if the damned pirate continues to lie and burn him at the stake.

People are not as good as heaven! Before it was Tridani's turn to "snitch" first, Jack was escorted out of the cell, and as soon as he entered the interrogation room, he was first whipped with a leather whip, and Carlos walked in, took one look at the one-eyed dragon with open skin, and let out a contemptuous smile.

Ever since the crystal bracelet had been snatched away by Simon Almeida, Jack knew that he could no longer count on the orcs to help, and he was secretly glad that if it wasn't for Tridani to give him an idea, he would have really reached the point of exhaustion.

So, Jack decided to "confess" and insisted that the crystal ball was taken away by Chief Oseia, and only by starting a war against Osea could he get it back, but he also kept an eye on it, and did not say that the "Treasure of Solomon" was transported by Bai Haishan, and wanted to see what Carlos's attitude towards it was, and then slowly deal with it......

What Jack said was very different from Zhang Gou'er's statement, which made it difficult for General Carlos to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and immediately confronted Han Xiaoyu and others.

Zhang Gou'er, Song He and others listened to Jack's lies, and wanted to kill the one-eyed dragon immediately, but at the same time, they realized their own danger and worried about the fate of Oseya, and they were in a hurry one by one, not knowing how to explain to General Carlos.

The conflict between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out, and the situation is extremely critical......

Carlos was the first to withdraw from the command cabin and arranged for the adjutant Sapelo to stay, he was worried that the Ming army outside would rebel against the company camp, so he immediately dispatched troops to strike first.

At the critical moment, Han Xiaoyu was more calm, they came to save Zhu Hui, Jack the One-Eyed Dragon was a key person, he had been silent for days, why did Tridani start framing Oseia as soon as he went to prison? It seems that there must be something strange in it.

Suggesting that Zhang Gou'er, Song He and the others were calm, Han Xiaoyu looked at Jack coldly, and looked at him a little empty-hearted, at this time, she suddenly took out a short sword and stretched out her hand in front of Jack's eyes.

Jack looked at it intently, and the scabbard was painted with an upper scale, a lower curved ruler, and a hexagonal star, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body......

"We have come to find the gatekeeper of the Temple of Light, on the orders of the Lord; And you, before you have become the Lord of the Temple, have broken your oath to the Lord and the Gatekeeper, and with this holy relic, on behalf of the Masonic Lord, I now begin to clear the portal! ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack immediately fell to his knees.

"Please don't treat me like this, I—I didn't frame the lord, and I didn't have any disrespect for the gatekeeper."

"Why did you lie to General Carlos when your crystal ball was clearly taken away by Shaman Ekismoor?"

"That's what the damn priest, Tridani, told me to say."
