Chapter 204: Curse?
Covering her cup with her little hand and taking a sip of black tea, Elizabeth was now immersed in the story of the 'gold Aztec coin' in her hand, and she did not appear to be as panicked as the other ladies about the curse that Romon had spoken, and this alone made Romon look at her.

However, even if Romon knew that Elizabeth was likely to be one of the protagonists of fate in this world during this time, it had no practical meaning for Romon .
"No matter how smart, calm, and beautiful I am, when I look back after a hundred years of short years, I will find that the so-called protagonist of fate has turned into white bones and dissipated in this world......"
Brushing the brown hair that fell in front of him, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Romong's mouth and continued.
"Hernando Koster is said to have buried the gold coins he got from the Aztec tribe somewhere, but from what I know, they have been found by a group of pirates. By the way, I would venture to ask, can Miss Elizabeth tell me your age, and if you may, it would be better to add the time you got this gold coin......"
Elizabeth reacted quickly, unceremoniously pointing out her doubts about Romon in his words.
"How do you know my name is Elizabeth? I don't remember introducing myself to you in all this time!"
"In Port Royal, with such a beautiful face and temperament, the only young lady I know is Miss Elizabeth, the daughter of the Governor's family. Romon complimented with a smile on his face, as if he had guessed so.
Romon's sudden praise made Elizabeth suddenly improve her good impression of Romon, after all, no girl would not like people's sincere praise.
"I'm 16 years old, and I got this gold coin when I came to Port Royal four years ago, does that have anything to do with what you call a 'gold Aztec coin'?"
"A beautiful age, a sixteen-year-old girl is like that delicate flower, and to your question Miss Elizabeth, although I am tempted to deceive you into saying 'it is related,' lying in front of you, I seem to feel the condemnation in my heart, so I have decided to say what I really think. ”
"Actually, I just want to know your age, Miss Elizabeth......"
When Elizabeth blushed and opened her mouth slightly to say something, Romon preemptively spoke.
"Let's continue with the conversation and get the cursed gold coins from a group of pirates......"
She pursed her mouth in anger, but the story that Romon told was clearly appealing enough that Elizabeth couldn't help but continue to immerse herself in Rommon's magnetic voice.
"When pirates get gold, they don't use it to open factories or buy estates, they just spend it in exchange for drink, food, and women...... However, after they spent the Aztec gold, they gradually discovered that the curse had begun to take effect on them......"
"No matter how delicious the food is in the mouths of these pirates, it is like dust, without any taste, and no amount of fine wine is poured into their mouths, and as for women, it is natural for them not to mention ......."
"They became undead, without hunger and without pain, and likewise, they did not die......"
Looking at Elizabeth's incredulous eyes, Romon felt a bad taste in his heart, and continued the story.
"These pirates have learned the secret of the curse of the gold coins, and they are crazy to take back the gold coins that they once spent, which means that Miss Elizabeth, you need to be careful not to be found by the pirates who have turned into undead, if you want to keep holding the gold coins......"
The delicate little face was full of horror, Romon couldn't help but pat his forehead helplessly, he seemed to say a little too much, Elizabeth, who still belonged to the girl, seemed to be a little unacceptable, glanced at Elizabeth's hand with a small half of the gold coin, Romon pursed his lips.
"Of course, those pirates don't have an effective way to determine where the gold is, so they are still collecting the gold they spend, but there is one sad news for them, as long as the gold coins do not come into contact with water, then they have no way to sense the location of the gold coins as undead......
Seeing Elizabeth, who had obviously recovered a lot, slowly walked out of the shop and came to the streets of the inner city of Port Royal, Romon who was standing at the entrance of the shop smiled and waved goodbye to Elizabeth, and did not forget to shout a word that made Elizabeth a little speechless.
"Welcome to the next visit!"
After Elizabeth left, no one could know what she was thinking, and after seeing Elizabeth away, Romon turned pale, instantly turned expressionless, and walked back to the shop behind him.
Luo Meng hung a 'rest' sign outside the door early, and looked at Ren, who had already walked to his side, Luo Meng asked lightly.
"How's it going?"
Wren naturally knew what Romon was asking, after all, after settling in Port Royal, Romon had only told him to do this one thing.
"I've been in contact with a businessman who is interested in selling his boat to raise money and buy a new ship, he is going to sell three sailing boats, I've seen it, and the hulls are all in good condition......"
Nodding with satisfaction, Luo Meng said with a chuckle on his face as he looked in control.
"Building a fleet, playing the banner of exploring the seas, coupled with the reputation of this shop for acquiring strange items, the most prosperous port of trade, I think these news will spread far and wide, I am looking forward to the wizards of this world coming to my door, so that I can study the different ...... of the wizards of this world and ours"
Wren had a knowing smile on his face, and he was silent for a few seconds for those wizards from another world who would take the bait, and after seeing that Romon had nothing to order, he retreated with interest.
Romon didn't say anything about Wren's retirement, facing the sunshine falling from the sky, Romon stretched out his right index finger, and in Rommon's eyes, a wisp of black gas pulsed between him.
Smack!
A blazing flame came out from the tip of his index finger, and Romon watched the black gas tumble in the flames of his fingertips, but it was only consumed little by little, and his eyes showed a look of great interest, but the target was not the black gas on his fingertips.
"Gold Aztec coins, curse of the Aztecs...... Oh, I'm also curious about who exactly put the curse on these gold coins, and it must be interesting what happened behind it......"
