Drake's Sword Chapter 5 (Reminiscences) Marjorie and Anne's Treasure (Part II)
Ever since Marjorie had inadvertently acquired Anne's treasure, she had become nervous. Even in order to find the mysterious island that was entrusted with dreams in the dreamland, to find the legendary treasure. Marjorie got a boat from her father and brought in a group of sailors from her former family.
However, since Anne set sail, there have always been some 'lucky' things around her, such as picking up gold while walking on the street and biting gold while eating. Gold can be found everywhere in Marjorie's life.
'It's amazing!' Marjorie quickly became wealthy, and she even built a brand new sailing ship for herself.
During that time, Marjorie sold all the gold she encountered in her life in exchange for a life of extreme luxury. During that time, Marjorie earned the name 'Goldfinger', and she even trained and recruited a large number of female sailors to work for her.
But such a day brought an even greater distress, I don't know when Marjorie touched many things turned into gold, the quilt that she touched in the morning became a golden quilt, the drinking water became a golden cup, and even the bread she grabbed became golden bread!
The distress caused by Goldfinger made Marjorie even more devastated, and she could not eat on her own, but had to rely on servants to feed her. Gold, gold, everything Marjorie sees every day is gold.
In this way, after a long time, Marjorie's father came to see her, and was completely shocked by the various gold items along the way, perhaps there was more gold and silver in other rich families, and more gold and silver utensils.
At the moment, the whole house in Marjorie's house is made of gold, brick by brick, from top to bottom. It's like digging a house out of a gold mine.
Because Marjorie's father is a businessman, although he is not a businessman, but his character is not bad, he said to his daughter to work hard by herself, and the result became like this, which really amazed the father who has been in business for many years.
When Marjorie's father ran to Marjorie's bedroom, he didn't expect that Marjorie Marjorie had already become a body of hundreds of pounds at this moment, and she was not decently fat, if the bed wasn't made of gold, I'm afraid the ordinary wooden bed would have been crushed!
"What the hell is going on with Marjorie?" Marjorie's father questioned.
"I don't know, I just know that I'm stuck in bed every day...... says Marjorie.
"Are you sure you haven't touched anything?" her father was also running at sea, and he naturally knew some legends, and he had seen a lot of bizarre things, and for the sake of the old man's experience, it was obvious that there were some bizarre things that led to this.
Seeing that the matter could not be hidden, Marjorie had no choice but to tell Anne's treasure-related encounters and dreams.
Marjorie's father pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "The ring is here, but what about the boxes of gold?"
"...... in the downstairs storage room," Anne instructed the maid to take her father to the storage room.
Marjorie's father came to the locker, and everything had been made of gold, but the chests of gold were still chests of wood.
"Sure enough......, there's something strange," said Marjorie's father, in a low voice, "there must be something strange about this box, go and give me that golden crowbar." ”
Several maids used a gold crowbar to pry open a chest in front of them, only to see that various stacks of gold were placed in intact inside.
Just when Marjorie's father felt that it all didn't make sense, he fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a scream came...... It was Marjorie's voice.
Everyone hurriedly rushed back, and in Marjorie's bedroom, they never expected that a ghost appeared in the bedroom at this moment, and this ghost was Anne!
Anne's soul pressed down on Marjorie on the bed, and the dusty memories of that time gradually revealed.
In her twilight years, Anne was betrayed by a sailor, which was intolerable for a pirate, let alone inhumanely humiliated, so Anne unleashed a curse with a ring - 'Anyone who touches her treasure will be turned to gold!'
However, her curse did not take effect, for the simple reason that she was dead when she released it. Anne's soul could only watch as the beastly sailors took her treasure, and in despair, she clinged to the ring.
Her last treasure was then discovered and taken away by the same group of pirates who would come after. The funny thing is that although they took away the treasure, they also took away the curse of the treasure, and the pirates all turned into gold men in an instant after touching the gold in the treasure chest. The entire pirate ship was then made of gold and eventually sank into the sea, where it was accidentally discovered by Marjorie after changing hands over the years.
Perhaps because of the woman's sake, she prefers rings to gold, and since Marjorie controls the rings, the curse naturally doesn't work.
However, after the ring was worn for a long time, the curse attached to the ring gradually merged into Marjorie's body, which caused Marjorie to gain the ability to have a golden finger, and what she touched turned into gold.
But at this moment, Anne's soul came out precisely because the curse had been transferred, and the owner became Marjorie. Naturally, Anne's soul could no longer live in the ring.
At this moment, Anne threatened Marjorie and said, "You ugly woman, you still want to tell me my treasure, you have to pay for it!"
"Hey, let me go!" Marjorie tore up, "You've been dead for hundreds of years, and you don't want your treasure to give away!"
Marjorie can be said to have a complete hatred for gold in her heart, and she may have pursued some of it, but now she doesn't pursue it at all, but rather resists it. You know that anything you come across can turn into gold, which makes her life completely collapse.
has been served by others for a long time, and now I have no self-care ability at all, and my figure has long become unshapely. She knew that the men who pursued and pleased her were simply for the gold, so Marjorie hated the gold.
Just as Anne was about to hold Marjorie hostage, Marjorie's father suddenly barged in and saw the spirit in front of him holding his daughter hostage.
Anne's soul roared like madness, and it was at that moment that she noticed that Marjorie's father had the gold in the treasure chest.
"If my deduction is correct, these are your true essences!" said Marjorie's father, "What Anne's treasure is, you are using it to deceive people!
Marjorie's father's words sent a crazy earthquake to Anne's eyes...... He's right, she's just using the gold to fool people, in order to cast a long line to catch big fish, and have reached the point where she can truly acquire a person's body, and finally be able to possess it and be reborn!
For Anne did not expect that Marjorie's father was a merchant who dealt daily with all kinds of gold and silver treasures, which, though outwardly fake, were definitely problematic in weight!
"Use the stone as a weight!What a good idea!Let go of my daughter!Or I'll let you go!" With a keen eye for detail, Marjorie's father threatened the gold in the treasure chests in his hand, where Anne's soul was attached.
"Don't spoil my good deeds, old man!" roared Anne's soul.
"Don't!, father!" begged Marjorie, too.
"Hmph!" Seeing that Anne would not let go, Marjorie's father was about to fall. But Anne's soul gripped Marjorie's body even more, wanting to get a new body first!
"Ahem...... Boom ......"
A light cracking sound.
The gold conjured up in the treasure chest, which was the real attachment of Anne's soul, was completely shattered, and Anne's soul was shattered at the same time. And the curse was broken with the breaking of gold!
Having lost her attachment, Anne's soul had no support, and could only burn in the sun and disappear. The curse on Marjorie's body also turned into a cloud of black gas, leaving Marjorie's body and disappearing.
Marjorie watched all this excitedly, she pulled the ring on her finger, and despite the redness and swelling on her finger, she ran over to hug her father.
But before he could get to the front, Marjorie's father's hands turned into dazzling gold, which spread all over his body in an instant......
Marjorie's father was aware of all this, but it was enough that the curse had been broken, and finally ...... Smiling Dao......
"Child, I love you......"

PS: The background story about Marjorie is basically introduced, and I refer to a fairy tale, that is, the fairy tale that can turn anything into gold, and I have a reference in the setting.
After all, whether you are writing a novel or making up a story, you basically have a reference when you create, refer to something you already have, and then process it. Because no matter how you create it, there will always be some references, and there are a few people in the world who dare to say that they are 100% original.
I think that, like we paint, the focus is on how to make someone else's our own. It's basically a process of exploration and learning, so I don't have much expectation of what kind of writer I'll become, but it's good to be happy.
