Chapter 31: Elizabeth's Curiosity
Ethan would like to show his means in a different way, but compared to the magic items he has, he can't really use many magic on his own, and so far he is the most proficient in a water-making technique and a mage's hand.
Use the hand of a mage to show your confidence?Ethan thought about it and felt that it would be more shocking to make a water polo.
Facts have also proved that it doesn't matter if the means are old or not, as long as they are easy to use!
Jack Sparrow was stunned for a moment when he saw the water balloon spinning in Ethan's hand, and reached out to test it to make sure it was a real water balloon.
"You're a wizard?"
"Ahem, magician. ”
Although the Caribbean world is based on the real world, there are many mysterious powers, Jack himself has seen countless magical things, and even he himself knows a lot of people with special means, in fact, including the sealed sea goddess Kolybso, who is currently living as a witch Tia Dalma.
"Does it make a difference?"
"It's hard to define. ”
The two of them talked nonsense for a while, Jack was very curious about Ethan's methods, and it was possible that he wanted to take this opportunity to explore Ethan's true strength, but Ethan did not continue to show his ability, but just told him: "You will see it when necessary." ”
All in all, the negotiations in the middle of nowhere had an outcome that Ethan was happy with, and Jack Sparrow agreed to the deal, and the two men now formed a not-so-strong alliance.
Next, the problems that need to be solved are solved one by one, and then it is time to set off to find the Black Pearl.
The way to find the Black Pearl is mainly to rely on the pointer in Jack's hand, and in order to prevent Jack from suddenly having a convulsion and causing the pointer to fail, it is necessary to get the last gold coin in his hand.
Jack said so, but Ethan knew that this guy couldn't fully believe that he could completely solve Barbossa and the others, so he pinned his hopes of defeating the other party on gold coins.
"So, how are you going to get that gold coin?"
Ethan is also thinking about this.
Stealing? He's not professional! Robbing that would completely turn the other cheek with Governor Swan, not to mention that people have just warmly entertained themselves, and in turn they will rob the other party's things, Ethan really can't do this kind of thing.
"I'm going to go directly to Elizabeth for it. ”
Jack looked at Ethan with a 'are you all right?' expression, but he didn't say anything, and the matter was left to Ethan.
"The gold is up to you, and we need to solve the ship's problem. ”
The vast sea is looking for a pirate ship known for its speed, which cannot be done without a good ship, and Jack has been looking at the Interceptor for a chance to steal it.
"Don't worry, as long as they can find the Black Pearl, they won't be able to escape. ”
Ethan's flaming wings are so fast that if he finds his target, it will be impossible for him to escape his pursuit at the speed of a sail battleship.
For this reason, he didn't necessarily need a fast warship like the Interceptor, just an ordinary ship...... As long as it's not a rotten ship that leaks everywhere and could sink at any time.
"Magic?"
"Yes, magic. ”
Jack nodded and said that he understood, he still couldn't figure out what Ethan was capable of, but since the other party showed this attitude, it proved that the other party had a certain amount of confidence, even if he couldn't believe it all, it could be used as a part of the help, so there were more ships to choose from.
"In addition, we need sailors ......"
This is not Ethan's world, and it is very difficult to control a large ship with one person, and in the original plot, Jack Sparrow and Will Turner used their strategy to get everything on the Interceptor set sail with the help of the Royal Navy, and then grabbed a ready-made one.
After that, they made a special trip to the island of Tetuga and recruited a group of crew members to find trouble with the Black Pearl.
Later films also make it clear that if a ship like the Black Pearl wants to start, it needs at least six crew members, so even if there is a ship with the two of them, it is definitely not enough.
For this, Jack proposed a similar way to the original story, going to Tetuga Island to recruit people.
"Then there's only one problem left. ”
After chatting for a long time, most things have a direction, and there is only one problem that has no clear plan, and that is the problem of the ship.
Jack wants to steal one, and there are countless options on the docks anyway, and since Ethan is confident enough not to let the Black Pearl run away - Jack thinks that with the gold in hand, Barbossa will definitely not run, so he doesn't necessarily have to steal the Royal Navy's warship, and the options become more and more targeted.
"Buy one?"
Jack looked at Ethan speechlessly, and he once again suspected that this guy was actually a nobleman.
"Okay, if you can fix it, I'll leave it to you, I'll go find a place to rest for the night. ”
He didn't offer to let Ethan arrange a place to live, the two of them have only reached a cooperation agreement now, and they can't talk about trust, Jack can't follow Ethan recklessly, so he decided to find a place to rest by himself.
Ethan didn't stop him, just let him take care of himself, he didn't think that Jack would suddenly run away and hide, he was much more concerned than Ethan in retaking the Black Pearl, and even if Ethan didn't show up for a few days, this guy would come to the door by himself.
Back at the accommodation that Governor Swan had arranged for him, Ethan simply cleaned up and rested. Tomorrow he was going to visit Elizabeth and talk about the gold coins.
It's just that it seems easy to cause some misunderstandings when visiting a young girl in such a rash manner.
"It doesn't matter, if all goes well, I'll be out of here soon. ”
Presumably, after he leaves, this place will slowly return to its original rhythm, and even if he comes to this world again, he will not have any intersection with this port.
After a good night's rest, Ethan woke up and waited quietly for a while, feeling that the time was more suitable before going to the governor's mansion.
The governor's butler and servant knew Ethan, and they did not know whether they had confessed to him, and they were very respectful to him, and did not refuse Ethan's request to visit Elizabeth, but led him directly to the drawing room, and even prepared black tea and snacks.
"There's a weird feeling. ”
Ethan sipped his black tea and felt the servants around him secretly look at him, and this continued until Elizabeth appeared.
"Good morning, Ethan. ”
Elizabeth was a little puzzled and a little panicked when Ethan came to her in the morning, even though she pretended to be very calm, but the wandering eyes still betrayed her.
"This one also misunderstood......
Your behavior is indeed easy to cause misunderstandings, so don't continue to expand this misunderstanding, and get to the point after a simple greeting.
"Miss Swan, I actually want to get something from you. Ethan paused, thinking that this did not seem appropriate: "Of course, I can pay the corresponding chips for this." ”
If you buy it, it should be more suitable.
"What is it?" Elizabeth seemed to let out a sigh of surprise, as if mixed with a little disappointment and a little dissatisfaction, and there was a little curiosity about what had caused Ethan to come running early, and for that reason she almost completely ignored her presence: "If you want to buy something from Port Royal, it seems that you should go to my father." ”
"No, what I want is an item in your private possession, not a commodity. Ethan glanced at Elizabeth's snow-white neck, which had no necklaces or anything like that, and it seemed that she had not carried the gold coin with her.
"My personal belongings?" Ethan didn't hide his gaze, and Elizabeth suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting no matter how she sits, so she hurriedly continued the topic: "What is it?"
"A gold coin with a special shape. ”
Elizabeth's face changed when she said this, and when she heard Ethan's next, "It's the one you wore yesterday." Later, she unconsciously touched her chest, but she didn't touch the gold coin in her hand, and she remembered that the gold coin was hidden in the room and not with her.
"I don't have any gold coins, are you mistaken?"
"How could I be wrong about such a unique gold coin?" Ethan gave Elizabeth a kind smile, signaling that she didn't need to be afraid, that she had no ill intentions: "That thing will only cause you trouble, it would be better for you to get rid of it sooner." ”
"Trouble?"
Elizabeth was a curious, adventurous young girl, and her first reaction to Ethan's words was that something interesting would happen, rather than worrying that she would be caught in huge trouble.
"What kind of trouble?"
"It's going to provoke a bunch of more special things. ”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, this answer could not satisfy her, but looking at Ethan's appearance, she didn't seem to want to say more, Elizabeth thought about it, and made a decision in her heart: "Wait a minute." ”
After leaving quickly, Elizabeth deliberately drove her subordinates out, and there were only two people left in the parlor.
Elizabeth sat down in front of Ethan again, and spread her hand to show the gold coins in her hand: "I can consider selling this thing to you, but you have to explain what it is, why do you want to get this thing?"
Then he smiled smugly: "If your answer satisfies me, I can consider your proposal." ”
Ethan looked at Elizabeth with a smug face, and did not go down at her pace, sipping black tea to himself: "As far as I know, this thing does not belong to you, maybe I should communicate with its real owner." ”
