Chapter 38: The Fountain of Youth

Yoshammy Gibbs, a former Royal Navy sailor who later broke away from the Royal Navy and got involved with Jack Sparrow's father, pretty much watched Jack grow up, and has long been Jack Sparrow's most trusted assistant β€” all of which Jack told Ethan when he was on the island.

So Jack wanted to find him as soon as he got the Black Pearl back, and he found it smoothly.

"Wake him up?"

Looking at Gibbs, who was lying in the mud of the pigsty and sleeping soundly, Ethan admired the pirates' ability to sleep to death regardless of any circumstance, even if it was rum that played a decisive role.

"I'll look for buckets nearby. ”

"Don't bother. ”

They were on an island, surrounded by plenty of water, Ethan's magic was hard to say, and gathering some clear water in this environment was not much like waving his arms.

With a slight wave of his hand, the moisture in the air condensed into a head-sized ball, and then floated steadily to Gibbs's head, and as Ethan withdrew his magic, a large ball of cold water poured Gibbs directly into it.

"Who!"

Gibbs woke up and immediately checked the situation around him, and when he saw that the person in front of him was Jack Sparrow, he immediately let down his guard and fell back to the ground softly.

"It's Jack, do you know how much trouble waking someone up can get you?"

Seeing that this guy's eyes had a tendency to close again, Ethan casually condensed another ball of water and threw it directly into Gibbs's face.

The first time was to wake up from sleep, and this time it directly woke Gibbs up, but Ethan's movements were too fast in the night, and he poured a bucket of water as Ethan's sailor.

"Okay, okay, I'm sober. ”

Wiping the water from his face, Gibbs finally stood up and walked out of the pigsty.

As he walked out of the pigsty, Ethan and Elizabeth both involuntarily took a big step back, accompanied by the smell of Mr. Gibbs, which was really a little unbearable.

Elizabeth looked a little surprised because she knew the man in front of her: "Mr. Gibbs, why are you here?"

"Miss Elizabeth Swan?"

Gibbs had served under Norrington, and when Elizabeth went to Port Royal, she was on the same ship he was serving on at the time, so the two knew each other, but neither expected to meet again in such a situation.

"As you can see, I'm not Navy anymore. ”

Then he pointed to Jack Sparrow next to him: "I'm messing around with this guy most of the time, it's just that most of the time I'm fine." ”

Jack shrugged his shoulders, "I'm here to do things with you right now." ”

"Ahh

"Do we have to talk about things here?" Ethan couldn't stand it, but the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with this environment at all, but it seemed that he was an outlier. Fortunately, Elizabeth also agreed: "Let's talk in a different place." ”

Gibbs knew who Elizabeth was, so it wasn't surprising that she was reacting in this way, but the other young man seemed to be a nobleman as well?

He believed that Jack would make it clear to him, so he pointed to the tavern in the distance: "Then let's go to the tavern and talk while having a drink." ”

"No, no, no!" Jack stopped Gibbs, "Do you think these two people look like people who can sit down and drink in that kind of place?" ”

Considering that the topic to be discussed is inconvenient for outsiders to hear, it is relatively safer to go on board the Black Pearl. Otherwise, with his character, he would be happy to see Ethan and Elizabeth in trouble.

Gibbs didn't know this, but felt that what Jack said made sense, and he focused on another thing: "Boat? You got the boat?"

"I recaptured the Black Pearl. ”

Jack was eager to announce to the world that he was back as captain of the Black Pearl, and he looked proud, and Gibbs's reaction made him very satisfied.

Completely stunned, Gibbs even wondered if Jack was dreaming, or maybe he was dreaming.

"It seems that I am not completely awake yet......"

Before he finished speaking, another 'bucket' of cold water was poured on his head, which not only did not make him feel more awake, but suspected that he was really still in a dream.

"Go back to the boat first, I'll talk to you slowly. ”

Dragging Gibbs, who was completely stunned, walked quickly to the docks, Ethan and Elizabeth were equally fast, and it didn't take long for them to return to the Black Pearl.

Along the way, Jack also briefly told Gibbs what happened, and after returning to the ship, Gibbs simply cleaned and changed into a set of clean clothes, and it took a while to sort out all the contents.

"You mean...... You're here...... With the help of Lord Ethan, he brought the Royal Navy together to kill Barbossa and take back the Black Pearl?"

"Uh-huh!"

Jack didn't say the specifics, and he felt that it was useless to say. What kind of angelic Ethan, this kind of thing is hard for normal people to believe, anyway, Ethan has to spend some time with them, if he really wants to go to Blackbeard's trouble, Gibbs will be able to see everything with his own eyes sooner or later.

"You said this Lord Ethan...... Actually, a mage?"

"As you can see, Mr. Gibbs. ”

The water balloon in Ethan's hand was not like an illusion or something, he had been sturdy a few times before, and he could be sure that it was real waterβ€”cold water.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Gibbs hurriedly signaled that he had just changed into dry clothes and did not want to change another set immediately.

"And then, you're going to find the Fountain of Youth, and Blackbeard?"

"It's not me, it's this Lord Ethan who wants to find the Fountain of Youth...... And the trouble with that Blackbeard. Jack pointed to Ethan in front of him, he didn't want to go to Blackbeard, but he was a little interested.

Gibbs turned to look at Ethan, then looked back at Jack, "Blackbeard doesn't care that much, he's just going to treat you as a bunch." ”

"No, it's us!" Jack slapped Gibbs on the shoulder, not ready to let the old fellow run away, "Trust me, if we do find Blackbeard, it's definitely the one who is unlucky." ”

"Because of this Master Mage?" Gibbs still felt unreliable, "I heard that Blackbeard was also good at dark arts. ”

Blackbeard's belief that he knew black magic was widely spread on the seas, but many people didn't believe it. But look at the person in front of you, this so-called rumor is still very credible.

Ethan knew that Blackbeard knew the dark arts, and in addition to using his long knife to control the cable to manipulate the ship, Blackbeard could also manipulate undead zombies, make voodoo dolls for cursed attacks, and what he most wanted to learn was to put a ship in a bottle.

As for the actual combat effectiveness, except for the use of voodoo dolls to curse and it is difficult to judge the true power, the rest of the abilities are not valued by Ethan, and when fighting head-on, Blackbeard is still mainly based on swordsmanship, and he really has no advantage in the face of Ethan, who is armed to the teeth.

But now the situation has changed, and Ethan is not ready to go to Blackbeard first.

"I know a little bit about Blackbeard's magic, and it won't cause me much trouble. In fact, our main target next is not this guy, but the Fountain of Youth. ”

This decision was made considering that it takes a lot of time to find the Fountain of Youth, and that finding Blackbeard is also a waste of time, and that it is a waste of time to find the Fountain of Youth, which will wander around and disappear, to find the Fountain of Youth, which will not move, will ensure that at least one goal will be completed.

"Ah, that's fine. Gibbs is reluctant to provoke Blackbeard, but he has a great interest in finding magical treasures and places, and he and Jack are more unusual than most pirates of this era.

The two of them are not so much pirates as explorers who yearn for freedom and adventure, enjoying the freedom to sail the seas, occasionally looking for strange places or things, and turning one journey after another into a part of their lives.

It was Jack's behavior that prevented him from gaining the support of his pirates, and almost every time he gathered a group of sailors, he was betrayed by his men - because he ignored the needs of his crew, and a captain who could not lead them to a great fortune was not worthy of their service.

Only Gibbs has always stood by his side because Gibbs is a similar person to him.

At this time, when they heard that Ethan had decided to find the Fountain of Youth, both of them were motivated.

"Is there really a fountain of immortality in this world?"

There are many legends about the Fountain of Youth, but no one can be sure that it really exists.

If you look at the plot in the Caribbean film, Jack has some understanding of the Fountain of Youth, maybe it comes from his curiosity and pursuit of strange and strange things.

"Yes. ”

Ethan's affirmative answer not only made Jack and Gibbs excited, but even Elizabeth on the side was intrigued, and secretly vowed to see this legendary fountain of immortality with her own eyes no matter what.

As for why they are looking for it? No one cares about that, let's wait until they actually find it, and now they have to prepare for the search for the Fountain of Youth.

"First of all, we need to recruit enough sailors. ”

The ship was already in place, and they needed to recruit sailors and thoroughly organize and maintain the Black Pearl before setting sail, and then fill it with enough supplies.

The number of sailors is not too large, a dozen is enough, this is a pure adventure, and the crew does not need to be too demanding in terms of combat effectiveness - with Ethan on board, Jack is not worried that the Black Pearl will be in a dilemma of insufficient combat effectiveness.

After dealing with all of this in the shortest amount of time, the Black Pearl set sail again, and Ethan finally set sail towards his true goal after so many busy days.
