Chapter 2: Three Steps to Escape Death
"The Black Pearl?"
The sailor was interested: "Legend has it that it was the fastest ship in the world, shrouded in a fog of terror, its black sails were enough to stop a baby, and the people on board... No, legend has it that they are not human, but ghosts from hell, and no one can survive when they meet them, only to die in endless fear. ”
"However, I think this is just a lie, and I have seen many pirates, and they are indeed fierce, but when they kneel on the gallows, their legs tremble like beasts."
Townsend did not respond to the sailor again, his expression solemnized, and he did not say a word.
Don't take any chances, everything is right.
It seems that he has really arrived in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, a world of looting and killing, shrouded in fantasy.
The heart of the so-called David Jones does not come from an unlucky guy with the same name and surname, but belongs to the existence that walks between life and death, he pilots the most powerful sailing ship on the sea, the flying Dutchman, and controls the North Sea Monster that is enough to pull any ship into the Demon Domain, and is a well-deserved "Hades of the Deep".
And his heart, which was put in the chest of the dead, and the only key he carried with him, did not think that it was a commodity that could be sold to him at a clear price.
"Is it hellish difficulty to start with?"
Tang Sen took a deep breath and threw away the messy thoughts, since the problem is in front of him, the only thing he can do is to try his best to solve the problem, anyway, as a dying person, he has no worries.
Procurement failure is only one death, anyway, there is no such thing as their own death, and it is not a loss to be able to appreciate the style of another world, if the procurement is successful, then they can be regarded as making money.
After all, the reward for successful sourcing is that you can take anything you come into contact with from the world.
And in this world, there are a lot of those strange treasures.
A compass that can point to what your heart desires most, a sword that can control cables and ships, a fountain of immortality that can make people immortal, and even a trident of the sea god who controls the sea, any of these treasures are enough to make you otherworldly.
Of course, Townsend knew very well that no matter how good these things were, they didn't mean anything to him, and what he needed was something that could save him from the fate of death.
He was under the impression that there were indeed two things in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean that could save him from death.
The first is the goods that you need to buy, the heart of David Jones.
As long as he pierces the heart, he can replace David Jones and become the captain of the flying Dutchman, and naturally he has an immortal body.
But there is a lot of uncertainty in this plan, becoming the captain of the flying Dutchman, you can only go ashore once in ten years, otherwise you will be in ashes, and you will return to the real world and go to land, right? Moreover, the flying Dutchman is tasked with extraditing the undead of this world, and if he slackens, his body will be rotten by the sea, and Townsend does not want to become an octopus face after surviving.
As for the second, it's a curse.
Curse from Gold Aztec Coins.
A total of 882 gold Aztec coins were presented in a stone box as a gift from the Spanish colonizer Cotton to save them from massacre.
Cotton took the gift but broke his promise, and greedily destroyed the Aztec civilization, so the pagan gods cast a terrible spell on the gold coins, and anyone who took even one gold coin from the stone chest would be punished forever.
They will become the living dead, looking like normal people, but they will not be able to have the sense of taste, touch, or any pleasures in the world, and they will have endless desires but nowhere to vent, and when the moonlight shines, they will reveal their true colors - a rotten corpse.
There is no point in living, but you can never die, and the soul is forever trapped in a corpse without any feelings.
This is naturally an extremely terrible curse, even more difficult to accept than turning into an octopus face, if it is only so, it is impossible for Townsend to include it in the plan to survive, but fortunately, the curse of the Aztec gold coin is not impossible to lift, it can even be said that its way of lifting is extremely simple, only need to put the gold coin back into the stone box with a blood sacrifice, and the curse can be lifted in an instant.
This is too suitable for your current situation, you only need to transform into the form of the living dead, then the injuries of the car accident will naturally disappear, and when the curse is lifted, the threat of death will be gone.
"Well, the next goal is clear."
Townsend silently pondered in his heart: "The first step, I need to find Jack Sparrow, only the compass in his hand can help me find Davy Jones's undead box." ”
"In the second step, I need to find a way to get my hands on the stone chest containing the Aztec coins, after all, the rewards can only be selected from the things I have touched."
"The third step is to find a way to get the key to the undead box, get the heart of David Jones, and successfully complete the purchase."
"The most important thing is to stabilize and not wave, the world is too dangerous, and you must put your own life first before the plan is completed."
The three-step plan is as simple and clear as it takes to put an elephant in the freezer.
But Townsend would not be so arrogant as to ignore the difficulty of actually implementing the plan.
"My advantage is that I have a lot of money and I know the plot of the world."
"I can't be foolish enough to use my sub-healthy body to face those undead monsters, money really can't buy Davy Jones's heart directly, but I just need to buy what I can."
"As long as you scatter enough money, quantitative change can naturally produce qualitative change."
Townsend naturally knows the advantages of endless money, if there is no time limit, he can even organize tens of millions of fleets and mobilize the power of the whole world to round up, no matter how powerful David Jones and his North Sea Monster are, they can be tired and stunned.
Unfortunately, only six months have passed, and at the speed of ships of this era, the Caribbean Sea has sailed back and forth to England, and most of the time has passed.
"What's the fuss? You don't really want to see the Black Pearl, do you? ”
A large hand shook in front of Townesend, and Townsend came back to his senses and saw the sailor with a confused expression.
"Ahem... It's okay. Tang Sen said: "I'm just talking about it." ”
The sailor suddenly lost his interest and squinted at him: "Port Royal has arrived, you should disembark." ”
Tang Sen turned his head and saw that the dock was already close at hand, and on the dock, sailors and small workers were constantly carrying goods up and down, exuding a busy atmosphere.
"Port Royal, where the Pirates of the Caribbean plot begins."
"Looking at such a prosperous and complete appearance now, Port Royal should not have been shelled by the Black Pearl, which means that the plot has not yet begun."
The corners of Tang Sen's mouth hooked slightly: "This is good news, so there is a lot of room for maneuverability." ”
Stepping over the planks resting on the guardrail, Townsend stepped onto the smooth ground of the dock, and the warden of the dock was looking for the captain to collect a shilling berthing fee, which naturally had nothing to do with a passenger, and Townsend walked out of the dock without incident.
Pedestrians were bustling on both sides, and Townsend took a deep breath.
"So, let's get dressed first."
"Dressed like this, there is no way to throw money around."
