Chapter 30: Negotiations with Jack
"It's Captain Jack-Sparrow!" Jack doesn't seem interested in the Isenti deal, and all he cares about is the details of the title. "I don't think you can make any deal with me. ”
"Don't say it too absolutely, Jack. "I don't know why, the name Jack plus the ship and the sea, Ethan always thinks of another movie, where the fate of Jack is not very good, but fortunately he met not the one: "How about helping you recapture the ship that belongs to you?"
Jack Sparrow, who was about to leave, suddenly paused, then kept his stride and spun around in place, and then stepped out and returned to Ethan: "You said my ship? Do you know where she is?"
Ethan shook his head, "I mean, help you recapture your ship, not that I know where your ship is...... What's more, you don't need someone to help you find her. ”
The most valuable thing about Jack is the pointer that can tell the user which direction he wants most at the moment, and with Jack Sparrow's current eagerness to recapture the Black Pearl, the pointer must have been pointing at the ship that is claimed to be the fastest on the sea.
Hearing Ethan's words, Jack suddenly took half a step back, and then looked Ethan up and down carefully, and found that this young man seemed to be very different from what he had guessed before: "You know me very well!"
"I think it's relatively well-understood. "It's all learned through the films of the previous life, and what hasn't been acted in the film, Ethan doesn't know very well.
Jack continued to look at Ethan, "You said you could help me retake my ship? Do you know whose hands he has?"
"Your former first mate, Hector Barbossa. ”
"But you definitely don't know what Barbossa is doing now......" Jack said as he observed Ethan's expression, and when he noticed that Ethan didn't show any doubts, and even had a little smile on his face, he realized that he had guessed wrong again: "You know Barbossa's current situation!"
This time, Jack was finally interested, and he began to be willing to have a good talk with Ethan: "I have to say, you succeeded in arousing my interest, so ...... What should I call it?"
"Ethan. ”
"Ethan?"
"It's just Ethan. ”
Jack looked at Ethan again, this time without missing even a single detail, and found that Ethan's clothes were not even a little raw, and he had a similar speculation in his mind as Governor Swan: a nobleman! and did not want to reveal his true identity, Ethan was most likely a pseudonym.
"Okay ~ Ethan!" Jack didn't even hide his emotions, and was very upset that Ethan was fooling himself with a 'fake name': "So what do I need to give?"
He didn't ask Ethan how he could help him recapture the Black Pearl, which could be discussed later. The other party had said before that he wanted to negotiate a deal with him, and the other party's chips had already been revealed, so what did he need to pay? He didn't think that the other party deliberately found him and promised to help him recapture the Black Pearl, just for some small things.
"I need you to help me find something. ”
"What's that?" Jack gestured as he told Ethan that he wouldn't continue the conversation with him if he didn't make the chips clear.
Ethan didn't care about this, he didn't want to hide it in the first place.
"Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth. ”
Jack paused for a moment, then looked unsure: "Sorry, I may not have heard clearly, can you repeat it?"
"Blackbeard and the Fountain of Youth. ”
Not only did Ethan not change a word, but even the punctuation and tone were the same as before, and then he stood quietly looking at Jack Sparrow, waiting for his reply.
"Blackbeard? Blackbeard Edward Teach?"
"That's right, it's him. ”
Jack Sparrow now thinks that his first guess is correct, this guy is a young nobleman who is not self-conscious, and the so-called negotiation with himself is just looking down on himself, he actually has his eyes on the more famous Blackbeard, and he is trying to let himself help.
"I think you should go back to your home and ask a better doctor to take a look at this place. Jack pointed to his head, then turned his head to leave. As for the Fountain of Immortality or something, he just ignored it.
Blackbeard wasn't the character he wanted to provoke, not even to show the way to a young man who didn't know what to do, who was ruthless and who was a pirate who held grudges more than the other.
But Ethan's next sentence stopped him again, and he had to turn around again to talk to Ethan.
"If you think my stacks are too low, I can help you out with Davy Jones. ”
When Jack heard this, he thought that he might be hallucinating, and after a while, he asked again with some uncertainty: "You said that David Jones?
"That's right, it's the octopus face. ”
Ethan's answer not only made Jack sure that he was not hallucinating, but also understood that the young man really knew about David Jones and knew about his situation.
This situation gave him a headache, and he found that things were moving in a terrible direction little by little, he didn't know anything about this young man, and his own affairs were completely controlled by the other party.
"I don't believe you. ”
"Don't believe in my character or don't believe in my strength?"
"All. ”
Ethan nodded, if he said yes as soon as he made the bid, then he wouldn't be a pirate captain Jack Sparrow.
"So, I'll pay a part of it as a deposit upfront. Ethan didn't believe that the other party would hesitate with this chip: "By the way, it can also prove my strength." ”
Jack now not only suspects that he is hallucinating, but even suspects that he is actually dreaming, what happened today is too, and the conditions given by the other party are too favorable to him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away directly after taking the deposit?"
"I'm sure you're absolutely capable of doing this kind of thing. "David Jones is an example of this, Jack gets what he wants, but has no intention of paying what he promised. And Ethan dared to pay a part of the deposit first, in fact, it was also to show his muscles, so that Jack understood that his account was not so easy to lose: "But I believe that when you get back the Black Pearl, you will definitely not want to pay me what you should have paid." ”
Jack suddenly had a cold feeling, and his intuition told him that he should turn around and leave, and the young man in front of him, who he couldn't see through, was not a suitable partner to work with.
However, the adventurous instinct of being a pirate made him reluctant to give up this opportunity, and that feeling seemed to prove that the young man had enough strength to fulfill his promise, and he was very, very, very eager to get the Black Pearl back. At the same time, David Jones is a problem that must be solved.
"So Ethan, tell me about your plan. ”
The plan was simple, Jack was in charge of finding the Black Pearl and Ethan was in charge of leveling the enemy.
When he heard such a simple and crude plan from Ethan, Jack had a feeling that he might have forgotten to take his medicine today, which is why he would discuss such an important matter with this guy.
"Isn't it a little too simple?"
"Planning this kind of thing is supposed to be as simple as possible. The error tolerance of complex plans is too low, and the slightest exception can lead to the collapse of the entire plan. ”
Ethan's words still make a lot of sense, and Jack can't find anything wrong, but at least explain how to bring down Barbossa's gang, right?
"You should know Barbossa their situation unless you find ......"
"Find the last gold Aztec coin. ”
"Yes, that's right. Jack was stunned: "Do you know where the last gold coin is?"
"Yes, I know. Ethan pointed to the mansion on the heights, "It's in the hands of the Governor of Port Royal's daughter." ”
In fact, to deal with a group of low-level undead formed by the curse, Ethan didn't need such troublesome means at all, but considering that the gold coin might be needed to lure Barbossa out, it was also a good choice to get the gold coin in advance.
"The Governor's daughter......" Jack turned his head and looked at Ethan again, "You know the Governor well?"
"It's not familiar. "I've only known each other for less than two days and have had dinner once.
"And you're more acquainted with the Governor's daughter?"
"I've only met twice. ”
"Two interviews are enough. Jack suddenly patted Ethan on the shoulder, "I'm sure you'll be able to get that gold coin, no matter where that young lady hid it." ”
Ethan spread his hands, thinking that Jack must have misunderstood something: "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is a gold coin or not, the greatest value of that gold coin to me is to lure Barbossa out directly when you can't find the Black Pearl." ”
In fact, it is not enough to lift the curse with gold coins, it also requires the blood of William Turner Sr., also known as Bill Turner, but Bill Turner has been tied to a cannon and sunk in the sea by Barbossa, and is currently working for David Jones on the Flying Dutchman, and no one knows about it.
As a substitute, William Turner Jr., also known as the blood of the little blacksmith Will Turner, can also be used, in fact, if it weren't for the original plot where Jack found out that the little blacksmith was Bill's son, and had a way to remove the other party's immortality, even if the Black Pearl was right in front of his eyes, he would not have been so determined to catch up.
That's why he's still wandering around, and he hasn't taken action even though he can find the location of the Black Pearl. After hearing that Ethan had never cared about the immortality of Barbossa and the others, Jack finally wondered what Ethan had such confidence.
"With this ......"
It's a corner that won't attract anyone's attention, so Ethan can use some special tricks, such as making a water balloon appear out of thin air in his free palm.
"Magic. ”
