Chapter 39: Arriving at the Destination

After a period of sailing, Elizabeth gradually became a little sailor from a delicate aristocratic lady, and now she was able to help a little on the ship.

Watching this eldest lady grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, Ethan had to sigh that this girl was not simply immersed in the story of pirates, but really had talent in this area.

"I'm not learning very quickly. ”

Elizabeth also saw that Ethan was looking at her, walked straight up to him, and then had a proud look on her face.

"You're talented. ”

Ethan is not stingy with his praise, Elizabeth is a fact of talent, and what really gives him a headache is the next problem.

"So I'm not going to hold back. ”

"I only hope you did leave a letter on the Interceptor, otherwise Commodore Norrington will think we've taken you captive, and that would be a big problem. ”

Being wanted by the Royal Navy is no fun thing, even if the Black Pearl is one of the best clippers at sea, it can't withstand the endless naval pursuit, not to mention that Ethan has more important things to do, how can he waste time on this group of miscellaneous soldiers?

"Rest assured, I'm sure he'll be able to see the letter. ”

She left the letter in the captain's quarters that Commodore Norrington had let out, and if he couldn't find her way in, she could see it at once.

It is uncertain whether Norrington will chase the Interceptor directly after seeing the letter - it is not very likely, the Interceptor has been out to sea for some time, and if it does not return, the ship will run out of supplies. There were still a lot of prisoners on board, and Norrington would certainly not continue to wander the seas, and even if he wanted to find himself, he would have to return to Port Royal first.

When he came back to find him, there was no direction, the only clue was to go to Tetuga, but Jack was very careful when he recruited people before, only recruited sailors, and did not mention where to go and what to do.

Even now, the sailors on board had no idea where their captain was going, but were assured that there would be no danger on the voyage - for pirates, this danger meant a head-on battle with a powerful enemy, such as a storm during the voyage was normal.

"Tempest!"

The sea is like this, the changes are unexpected, the first second was calm and sunny, and soon it was cloudy and rainy.

The undulating waves threw the Black Pearl up and down, and Jack, who had been hiding in the cabin to rest, rushed out, and as the captain of the ship, he personally stood next to the steering wheel and commanded the sailors of the ship, battling the bad weather.

Ethan didn't help, he just stood quietly behind Jack and watched how Jack, an experienced old captain, commanded an authentic sailing ship to sail through the storm.

Although he has had a similar experience, many things are found by reading books and practical operations, and no one has given him guidance, although Jack is also from a wild road, but he has a real veteran to teach, so he can learn a lot of details from Captain Jack that he doesn't know at all.

For example, the combination of various sails, what angles should these sails use in a storm, and how to choose the most correct course faster in choppy seas. These are all things worth learning from Ethan.

Thanks to his excellent memory, even if he doesn't notice it for a while, Ethan can remember all of Jack's actions in his head first, and then slowly think about every detail like a slow-motion replay.

There was another person who was doing something similar, and in this kind of weather, Elizabeth, who lacked physical strength and strength, could not help much, so she could only stand by and steal the teacher.

Even though Ethan let her into the cabin to avoid the undulating ship from lifting her overboard, she insisted on staying on deck.

"I said it...... I'm not going to hold back. "What a determined and stubborn woman.

Anyway, Ethan is here, and it is impossible to see her in danger and ignore it, so let her continue.

Perhaps Jack chose the right route, the Black Pearl quickly sailed out of the storm, although there was still rain falling, but the wind speed and waves became much weaker, the Black Pearl can now be regarded as a normal sailing state, and there is no need for Jack to continue to stand here and command.

However, he stayed a little longer, and when he was sure that there was no more danger, he let go of the steering wheel and left it to the other sailors.

"We've left the Caribbean. ”

The Black Pearl had sailed to the Atlantic, and according to the direction given by Jack's pointer, the Fountain of Agelessness should be somewhere in the Atlantic.

Here, the sea conditions are more complicated and dangerous, and in the event of an accident, their chances of survival are much lower than in the Caribbean.

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong with this adventure. ”

In the Caribbean Sea, because of the small islands dotted with stars and the merchant ships sailing back and forth, there is no hope of survival in the event of an accident.

Not only did this venture venture into the wider and more dangerous Atlantic Ocean, but it was also far from the usual routes, and the area they were sailing in was rarely visited by merchant ships, and even warships were rarely active in these areas, and there were no islands to dock at, and there was nothing but sea water as far as the eye could see.

"As long as Jack's pointer doesn't go wrong, then there will be nothing wrong with this adventure. ”

In the original plot, several groups of people searched for the Fountain of Youth, and they all successfully found their target with various news channels, which proves that the location of the Fountain of Youth, which is not difficult to find, and there is no danger on the road. As long as the voyage goes well, it's only a matter of time before you reach your destination.

For Ethan, the biggest trouble is also a matter of time.

It seems that he has not done much in this world, but time has been consumed a lot, sailing at sea is a boring and long thing, most of the time is wasted on sailing, Ethan will give priority to the Fountain of Youthlessness and abandon Blackbeard, because in this long voyage, looking for a constantly moving target, the time wasted will be multiplied.

If you're unlucky, Blackbeard might run out of time before he can find himself, and the Fountain of Youth. That's why he decided to solve a target first, and if there was enough time left, he would go to Blackbeard.

"Now it seems that the successful finding of the Fountain of Youthfulness is the biggest gain this time. ”

Thankfully, the days of wasting time at sea finally came to an end, and Ethan was able to reach the island with the Fountain of Youth.

When they docked at the island, most of them behaved normally, because they didn't know what the goal of the trip was.

Ethan and Jack didn't show too much excitement, but Elizabeth seemed excited, this girl has been more and more like a mad dog off the leash since she left Port Royal, how can she still look like a lady of the governor's daughter?

Although this is a deserted island that has been almost undiscovered, and it is located outside the shipping lane, in order to avoid some possible accidents, Mr. Gibbs and his sailors stay on the Black Pearl to protect them from mistakes.

Jack, Ethan, and Elizabeth land on the island in search of the Fountain of Youth.

Bringing food and equipment, Ethan and the others headed towards the depths of the island, and only after a few people gradually moved away from the Black Pearl did they begin to discuss the goals of the trip.

"I've heard that the Fountain of Youth's needs merfolk tears and the Holy Grail. ”

Jack Sparrow, who likes to chase all kinds of magical things, knows all kinds of legends and stories about the Fountain of Youth, and even includes some details of using the Fountain of Youth.

Sometimes Ethan wonders where this guy heard about these things, and sometimes he even suspects that Jack actually found the Fountain of Youthβ€”if it weren't for the fact that the film proved that he hadn't been.

"I wasn't looking for the Fountain of Youth, I wanted to use it right away. ”

"Why is that looking for the Fountain of Youth?"

It's not just Jack who wants to know, Elizabeth is weird too. If he didn't want to live forever, then why did Ethan look for the Fountain of Youth? He put a lot of effort into it, and even helped Jack recapture his ship first.

"I want to know how the Fountain of Youthfulness was born. ”

This is the real purpose of his desire to find the Fountain of Youth, and he suspects that the Fountain of Immortality was born because the surrounding environment naturally conformed to a certain law, forming a natural magic array or formation, which made the spring water in it have special abilities.

He wanted to analyze this place carefully, and then see if he could replicate this 'magic array' through artificial means, and if it succeeded, then he would no longer have to worry about his life and youth.

Even if it doesn't succeed, the Fountain of Youthfulness can guarantee that its lifespan will not be depleted prematurely for a period of time in the future.

"That's right, I'm going to figure out how it came to be. ”

Jack understood what Ethan meant: "And then you can make a steady stream of the Fountain of Youth?"

"Theoretically, so. ”

"Are all magicians such crazy guys?" Elizabeth agreed with Jack with a rare agreement, and she thought the idea was too crazy.

"Pretty much. "Magicians do sometimes do things that seem crazy to ordinary people, mainly because magicians see things differently than ordinary people.

After chatting for days, the group quickly arrived at their destination and quickly found the cave.

Coming straight to the innermost end of the cave and looking at the stone wall that had reached the end and there was no road, Elizabeth and Jack both looked at Ethan, as if asking him what to do next?

Ethan didn't speak, he felt a familiar fluctuation here, it was a fluctuation of spatial energy.
