Chapter 10: I Want Them All!

It was a night of unprecedented activity in Port Royal.

Countless people crowded to the docks, just to see the gold coins exposed in the glass cases, and the navy in red uniforms formed a large circle back to back, staring at everyone from the outside.

That's a rarity!

The story of what happened on the docks in the afternoon was told over and over again, and countless witnesses present excitedly wandered from tavern to tavern, holding rum, talking about the black man who had foolishly chosen a shilling and gave up ten gold coins, and about the lucky man who had accidentally won because of his slow reaction.

The name "Mr. Tang" appears often enough to make people's ears calloused.

Everyone was speculating about what the Oriental named "Don" wanted to do, why he did it, was it really as he said, just by playing a game, there was a chance to pocket such a huge amount of money?

People were ready to move, only waiting for the dawn and the appearance of this oriental man on the docks again.

......

"Mr. Tang, you made a big disturbance today."

In the Governor's mansion, the long solid wood dining table was covered with elaborate white cloth, delicate candlesticks, ornate gold-encrusted cutlery, and sterling silver knives and forks neatly arranged on the table, and Governor Swan sat at the top of the table, holding a goblet in his hand, with a somewhat helpless expression.

Townsend sat at the other end of the long table, his knife and fork constantly cutting the steaming fish cutlet, and his tone was casual: "It's just boring and having fun." ”

"It's not fun." Governor Swan sighed: "I have just returned from Colonel Norrington, and he is very angry that dozens of navies have all run to the docks to guard the gold coins, and if I hadn't stopped him, he would have questioned you himself." ”

"Oh?" Tang Sen raised an eyebrow: "I'm really looking forward to meeting this young officer." ”

"Mr. Tang!" Governor Swan's voice was a little louder, "This is a serious matter, your actions are suspected of hiring the Royal Navy, and if you think about it, it is a felony. ”

Townsend put down his knife and fork, sighed like Governor Swan, and said, "Mr. Swan, you know me, I have always been law-abiding, and I believe that the soldiers also came voluntarily to protect fair property, and I only gave some insignificant gold coins out of gratitude, as if I had donated them to Port Royal before-"

"I know." Governor Swan interrupted Townsend and rubbed his brow in a headache.

Damn, sure enough, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, as long as Townsend mentions the gold coin, Governor Swan really has no way to get angry.

"Mr. Tang, Colonel Norrington is different from me, he is an officer, and he is very taboo about his subordinates being sent by others, I have helped you calm down today's matter, but it is better not to challenge his authority repeatedly."

"I'm just a traveler, and I'm going to leave sooner or later, so how could I want to challenge the authority of Lord Norrington?" Townsend asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Governor Swan's face softened a little, and he said, "But what exactly do you want to do?" Want to pick the best sailor in the name of the game? I have to remind you that this is pointless and wasteful. ”

"Pick sailors? I'm not that bored. Townsend laughed and said, "Governor Swan doesn't have to worry about these little things, I said it, just to have some fun." ”

Speaking of which, Governor Swan was not in a position to ask any more questions, and in fact, it was impossible for him to guess Townsen's purpose.

What Townsend wants is not one or two good players.

No matter how experienced, physically strong, and skilled as a swordsman, he could not defeat David Jones, or even the sailors on his ship, after all, they were immortal.

However, if it is ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people, then the immortal body is not so incomprehensible, and it can't be killed, but it is more than enough to trap.

With money as the fulcrum, the amount of change produces qualitative change, this is the most suitable tactic for Kryptonite - crowd tactics.

"Pick?" The corners of Tang Sen's mouth hooked slightly: "You don't have to." ”

"Whether it's a sailor, a navy, a merchant, or a pirate, as long as you can wield a sword and a gunβ€”"

"I want them all!"

Da, da.

The sound of crisp footsteps came, and the two turned their heads to see Miss Swann walking lightly into the dining room.

"Elizabeth, as a lady, it would be unseemly to come back at this time." Governor Swan put down the cutlery in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Father, Will and I went to the docks to see the commotion, and I heard that an Oriental had put a lot of gold coins thereβ€”" Elizabeth said briskly, paying no heed to the anger in her father's tone.

"Alright." Governor Swan interrupted Elizabeth and coughed lightly, "Come and meet this distinguished guest, Mr. Don from the East." ”

"Huh?" Elizabeth then shifted her gaze to Tang Sen, covered her mouth and whispered: "I saw you in the morning, it turns out that you are that Mr. Tang?" ”

"Elizabeth!" Governor Swan reminded in an accentuated tone.

Miss Swan straightened her expression and made a serious lady's salute.

"My daughter is a little rude, Mr. Tang forgive me." Governor Swan said helplessly.

"No one would blame such a beautiful girl, would they?" Townsend made a joke, then looked directly at Elizabeth and said, "Hello, Miss Swan." ”

His gaze swept across the other's slender and white neck without a trace, reaching into the bottomless ravine.

There is no trace of that gold Aztec coin.

It seems that the original plot is the same, and the gold coin is still in the drawer next to the other party's bed to accumulate dust.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, Will and I have said that I especially want to meet you, especially those games of yours-" Elizabeth smiled reservedly, "He thinks that he is a good hand at guessing heads and tails, and hanging a cable." ”

"Elizabeth, I don't think Mr. Don will be interested in Mr. Turner." Governor Swan was unhappy that his daughter kept talking about the blacksmith's apprentice.

"No, I'd like to meet this gentleman." "I'm glad someone is willing to participate in my game, and maybe this Mr. Will will win that coin?" ”

"Really?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up, ignoring Governor Swan's words, and said, "Then I will bring Will to you tomorrow, and he will be very happy." ”

"My pleasure."

Townsend narrowed his eyes slightly.

William Turner, the last blood sacrifice to lift the curse of the Aztec gold coins, how could Townsend ignore it?

If completing a procurement plan is like putting together the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, then Mr. Turner is an extremely important piece.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
