Barbossa glanced at the two old acquaintances behind him, and then at the group of people behind Jack, slightly unhappy.

Then he saw the sailors of the Silent Mary tied to the side, his eyes rolled, and he could not help but speak:

"Captain Merlin, why don't you hand over that group to me, I'm short of sailors here."

"Well, yes, I'll send you a few more contracts, and you will write the main content to help you restrain them."

Merlin glanced at the group of captives, who he had planned to exchange for the Fountain of Youth, but since Barbossa wanted it, he would give it to him.

"It is a great honor to serve you, Captain Merlin, and your generosity is as great as the sea!"

Barbossa saluted Merlin again, then arranged for Salazar's sailors to sign the deed, and returned to the Queen Anne's Revenge.

"All the staff drive upwind!"

"Get moving, you cockroaches, and head to Tortuga!"

Barbossa took the helm with one hand, turned his head and nodded to Merlin, took out the nautical chart, glanced at it, and sailed away without looking back.

"Gibbs, is the Black Pearl ready?"

Jack also returned to the Black Pearl with his crew, took out his compass and looked at it, and then looked at Barbossa, who was leaving.

"The Black Pearl is ready, the wind is in our favor, where do we go next, Captain!"

Gibbs said with a smile as he took a sip of the Romney he had taken from the Merlin.

"Let's follow the stars, first mate Gibbs, and we're going to the far reaches of the world for a romantic date."

Captain Jack grabbed the steering wheel, turned to salute Merlin, and then smiled wickedly and steered the Black Pearl in the opposite direction of Barbossa.

……

"Captain Merlin, where are we going?"

Stewart looked at the two departing captains and walked up, his eyes flashing.

"Let's go to Bailang Bay first, it's time to put these mermaids back."

Merlin retracted his gaze with a slight emotion that Jack and Barbossa were back in their world, and he was going to continue his adventure.

Now I am ready to send the mermaids back to Bailang Bay, of course, I will definitely have to squeeze the mermaids' tears crazy during this time, and I can't let them go so easily.

When that's done, he's ready to go back to the world of Norland and let Stewart collect a few waves of Storm Spirit's blood, and he will understand the mystery of the Fountain of Youth.

"Uh, I don't think I need to go to Bailang Bay, mermaids...... Forget it, Merlin, you better see for yourself. ”

Stewart smiled wryly, he had just learned about it, and he was very helpless.

"Huh? Is something wrong? ”

Merlin frowned, waved his staff and led Stuart to the mermaid's cabin.

"Ah...... This??? ”

In front of me, the once beautiful and bewitching and cute mermaid ladies disappeared, leaving only more than 20 adult-sized fish swimming in the water.

Judging from the patterns on these fish, it can be vaguely seen that these are the changes made by mermaids.

"According to Jill Moji, when the ghost ship was restored to its prototype, the mermaid also underwent a mutation and gradually degenerated into this."

Stewart said with a strange look on his face and some disbelief that he had never seen a sapient race that could degenerate.

And not the kind that takes millions of years to degenerate, but from a magical creature to a normal animal in just a few minutes.

It's terrifying.

"This ...... Well, I probably get it. ”

Merlin was also helpless, he probably knew what was wrong, that is, the mermaid race was also a "curse".

When Poseidon's trident was unsealed, it also "unsealed" the mermaid who was nearby.

Losing that particular "curse", the mermaid reverts back to its original form and loses all the powers of being a kraken.

Thinking of this, Merlin hurriedly took out the more than 50 drops of mermaid tears that he had collected to see if he had lost his due strength.

"Well, it's okay, it's only this batch of mermaids who have lifted the curse, and the tears are okay, they can still be used."

These tears were placed by Merlin on the Stone of the Fountain of Youth, and with the Eye of True Sight, he could see the magic symbols that emerged from both, proving that it was okay.

Merlin took out the trident and shook it again, and tried to see if it could turn the mermaid back.

After all, it was the curse lifted by the Trident, and it stands to reason that it should be able to change it back to its original form.

Soon, Merlin gave up, and the Trident could control sea creatures, as well as the mermaid's degraded fish.

But you can't turn them back into mermaids, you can only keep them in the state of fish.

"Forget it, let the sailors get ready, let's go back to Norland first."

Merlin used his staff to make a circle, re-cut and separate the cut White Wave Bay, and carried it out of the ship.

Randomly find an island and throw it over, cut the Storm King into a bottle with his backhand, use the World Tree to open the passage, and return to Norland.

……

It's been a week since Merlin returned to Norland.

This week, he's been back and forth to the Pirates of the Caribbean world testing the Trident's power repeatedly, and he's learned pretty much what the Trident can do.

If it weren't for the fact that the Trident doesn't have its own true spirit, it might be a little worse than the legendary weapon of the Norland world.

And because of the rules of the sea that its power touches, this trident can also be regarded as a special legendary weapon.

Because it touches the rules, it can do a lot more than Merlin could have imagined.

Just like in Pirates of the Caribbean, controlling the water, separating the sea, creating a maelstrom, and stirring the storm are just its basic skills.

It can also unleash almost all water-related spells, while also adding a rule effect to Merlin's water-based spells.

He had tried it a few times, and an ordinary first-order water blade spell had been blessed by a trident, and it could even achieve the effect of a super spell at the highest.

Of course, this rule-level blessing consumes Merlin's own mana, and the more advanced the spell, the more mana is consumed.

What surprised Merlin the most was that the trident could be healed with seawater and resurrect life without exceeding its own regular strength!

Of course, there are also limitations, for example, the kind that is completely dead, dead without a whole body, and the kind whose body is basically shattered must not be resurrected.

If it's the kind that hasn't been dead for a long time, to be precise, it doesn't take more than 1 hour, and you can basically be resurrected.

This resurrection effect, combined with the Trident's own rule-blessed ability, Merlin can say that he is already invincible on the sea.

When you encounter a legendary-level existence, you can also fight a few times, and you don't need to be cowardly.

Tsk, this harvest is simply beautiful.

Putting away the trident, he turned his gaze back to the World Tree in the small world.

Through the canopy of the World Tree, you can see bubbles that have been punctured one after another, which is the world that Merlin has been to.

This time, he looked at a bubble that was about to burst, the scale of the world was huge, and he could see that the world barrier was extremely strong.

That's the world where Zeus, Poseidon, and other gods go!
