Chapter 8: Do You Call This a Weapon?

"You have something that Jack doesn't have, and that's ambition and power."

Barbossa lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head as much as he could, as a sign of obedience: "My captain, please inform your faithful first mate of your name." I'll take care of all the chores on the ship for you, so you can focus on the big things that a big man like you needs to focus on. ”

“…… Heather, just call me Heather. ”

Heather didn't shy away from saying his name, [real name] was not a fateful statement on this slightly modified earth, and with the protection of the 'Outlander' fire, Heather was very skeptical that the average level of real name against spell-like spells would work on her.

"Your Excellency, your first mate, Hector Barbossa, is here for you." If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still pierced by absolute royal power and nailed to the wall, Barbossa would have even been willing to bow down.

Having said that, Heather couldn't let him go.

Of course, it's definitely not because of killing Barbossa now, it's big and white...... Phew, there's no way for the lovely Miss Caterina to come into the world.

The point is, if Barbossa dies without passing on the position of the Pirate King of the Caspian Sea to others, Heather is not sure if her mission will be completed.

After all, the Pirate Emperor needs to be recognized by the seven Pirate Kings at the Pirate Conference.

With a click, Heather pulled out her golden crosssword, and Barbossa collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from her chest as if she were alive.

It's not surprising that these cursed undead bleed when they weren't exposed to the moonlight, but just like the moonlight, no amount of blood would kill them, and once they were exposed to the moonlight, they would heal all their injuries.

Considering that the curse rule of gold Aztec coins is that it must be repaid with blood, it is likely that these undead will bleed as part of the curse rule.

Barbossa staggered to the moonlight, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he turned into a skeleton, and the wound on his chest was gone.

Jack stared at Barbossa with a blank eye, then ran to Heather in small steps and whispered, "Mentor, have I lost my position as 'first mate'?" It's a pity, but I feel like you can demote me to captain of the Black Pearl. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and grinned to reveal his big yellow teeth, cocking his index fingers and pointing at himself.

"No, no, no, my dear apprentice, I have a more important position to give you."

Heather shook her finger and walked towards the Aztec crate at the top of Treasure Mountain.

When Barbossa saw Heather coming, she immediately bent down and stepped aside, and said respectfully, "My lord, do you need me to send someone to order those stupid minions to stop?" ”

If there really is the Dreadnought and the Royal Navy out there, then the Dreadnought must be important to the new captain as well.

"Don't worry, let's also uphold the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, right?"

Heather snapped his finger at Jack and Will on the side, "Come, lift the curse." ”

Will, a handsome young man with great courage and skill, was a little unhappy when he heard this order, but considering that Barbossa had been knocked down by Heather three or two times, and he couldn't make waves if he could fight again, he obediently walked over with Jack.

The two of them took out their daggers and cut a bloody hole in each palm, grabbed the gold coin and stained it with blood, and threw it back into the chest.

…… Nothing happened.

"Gentlemen, let's verify that the curse is gone."

Heather stood in front of the treasure chest with her arms crossed: "Or do you let me do it myself?" ”

Barbossa was frightened, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to do it, please let me do it." ”

Then he pulled out his musket and aimed it at a pirate who was stunned.

Bang!

The pirate fell to the ground, his chest drenched in blood and expanding.

"Oh roar, it seems that the legend is true, as long as you pay the 'blood debt' and return the gold coins, you can remove the curse." Heather raised her eyebrows and said disappreciatively.

Barbossa bowed, "Ten years of visiting several witches and searching for a large number of precious texts to remove the curse, I can guarantee that no one in the world knows more about Aztec gold coins than I do." ”

"Speaking of which, if the curse is lifted in your steps, what are you going to do next?" Heather asked, somewhat curious.

Since the box of gold Aztec coins has not been seen since the end of Pirates of the Caribbean Part 1, Heather does not know if they were taken away by the Royal Navy or destroyed by strange means.

"My lord, this box of gold coins will be an excellent weapon if used well." Barbossa smiled kindly: "Use the curse of gold coins to control others, and even use it flexibly before each battle, and then repay it with blood after ......the battle."

"Well, you wait a minute."

Heather raised her hand to interrupt Barbossa's exuberant explanation, pointed to the box of gold coins, and asked with some surprise:

"You mean...... Can this thing be considered a 'weapon' too? ”

"Of course, sir." Barbossa didn't even notice the point of Heather's words: "This box of Aztec gold coins can create undead warriors who are not afraid of death and injury in batches, and if used properly, it can even conquer a large city, where is there a better weapon than this?" ”

“…………”

Heather stopped talking, but began to walk around the Aztec chest with her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the skull gold coins inside, muttering words that no one understood.

"Jack, what is he talking about?" Will asked Jack beside him curiously.

"I don't know, maybe it's a spell." Jack shrugged his shoulders, he could barely tell that Heather was speaking Chinese, but he had not learned Chinese systematically, and the modern Chinese that Heather spoke was slightly different from Chinese in the eighteenth century, and Jack listened for a long time without hearing any substance.

The others didn't dare to disturb Heather, and just watched Heather go round and round so quietly.

For a moment, apart from the crackling of the brazier, there was only the murmur of Heather walking on the gold coins and jewels in the huge grotto.

After a long time, Heather finally stopped and looked up at Barbossa:

"You just said that these treasures, along with all of you, belong to me?"

Well? What does this master think of again? Barbossa was a little unsure of Heather's routine, but she still followed Heather's words: "Yes, my lord, it all belongs to you, there is no doubt about that. ”

Heather nodded with satisfaction after confirming the ownership of the property, and then gently kicked the stone box next to his feet: "Okay, my loyal first mate, remove all the property here, especially this stone box and the gold coins in it." ”

"With all due respect, the Black Pearl's cabin isn't too big, and it's probably unrealistic to fill it with so much treasure." Barbossa said honestly.

"Then divide half of the treasure and put it on the Dreadnought, and this stone box must be left on the Black Pearl."

Heather didn't really care about the treasure, the real focus was on the Aztec stone box: "Who, go outside and call in the navy and the pirates who are not dead on the Intrepid, and give me a quick move." ”

The minions who did not deserve to be named by the author nodded busily and rushed outside.

Heather turned to look at Jack again: "Jack, you go too, don't let our Norrington Brigadier continue to kill, those pirates are rude and savage, but they are all my property!" Well? Mr. Will, do you have something to say? ”

"Can I go with Jack? Elizabeth is also on the Dreadnought, right? Will couldn't wait to meet his sweetheart.

Heather waved his hand indifferently: "Go, go, young people nowadays, their minds are full of love love love, it's really boring." ”

When only Barbossa and Heather were left in this grotto, the latter sat on the edge of the stone box and crossed his legs, and asked leisurely:

"My dear first mate, tell me, is the Black Pearl a 'weapon'?"
