Chapter 21: Jack Sparrow's Compass
"Mr. Jack Sparrow."
Tang Sen smiled and looked at the embarrassed pirate in front of him.
It must be said that the people of Port Royal were very welcoming, and it could be seen that poor Mr. Sparrow's clothes were torn even more depraved, his tricorne hat had disappeared, his hair was messily spilled, and his face was scratched by an excited young lady, leaving three scratches.
It is conceivable that before he came, Mr. Sparrow was like a rag doll, being fought over by countless people.
"It's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow." Although he couldn't move, Jack still stubbornly corrected: "So, you are that Mr. Tang?" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have any impression of you, have I threatened you before? Or rather, I killed your friend? ”
"Not at the moment." Townsend Road.
"I think so." Jack's cheeks twitched, and he took a breath of cool air, "Since we have no grievances, why don't you let me go, let's sit down well, and I'll tell you the story of how I once crossed the sea." ”
"To be honest, those ladies were so rough that I suspect they didn't tie me up quite right."
He was chrysalis on the ground, his legs squirming: "My crotch is about to be smoothed. ”
"I'm afraid not, Mr. Sparrow." Tang Sen looked at his appearance and couldn't help but laugh a little: "I don't have the confidence to face a pirate who is free to move, I think you will definitely want to kidnap me and then escape." ”
"So, let's just talk like this."
"At the very least, you should tell me why you arrested me." Jack said miserably: "A big man like you can't go to the Navy to exchange a bounty for me." ”
"The money you just gave to those ladies is enough to buy the head of a pirate ship."
"Just wanted to see what the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow looked like." Tang Sen smiled: "Now it seems that it is exactly the same as I remembered." ”
"Of course, I still need one more thing from you."
Townsend beckoned, and Warrant Officer Tom began to hand up and down at Jack.
"Tap!" Jack shouted dissatisfiedly, "Man, don't search so carefully, take your hands out, the thing is behind my waist!" ”
"Looks like you know what I want?" Townsend raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, as long as people who have heard my story, especially big names like you, often have only one purpose." He arched his waist and allowed Tom to pull the compass out from behind his waist without any problems.
"My compass."
Tang Sen took the dirty, suspiciously pulped compass, looked at it, and said with a smile: "A compass that can point to what they want most in their hearts, no one can refuse its temptation, can they?" ”
"What do you want? Treasure? Strength? Or immortality? You- ouch! Jack was a chrysalis for a long time, and finally the chrysalis reached the door, and was caught by Warrant Officer Tom with the back collar, he simply rolled around twice, let himself lean against the wall, pretended that this humiliating scene did not happen, and said seriously: "I have to remind you that the compass is not omnipotent." ”
"It's none of your business, Mr. Chrysalis." Townsend opened the compass gently, and the needle of the compass did not point to the north fixedly, but rotated irregularly.
"Chrysalis? What a weird title, I prefer you to call me Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack stared at Townsend's expression, half loud, and suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "It didn't point at anything, did it?" ”
Townsend ignored him, staring at the pointer, constantly emphasizing in his heart that he wanted the heart that belonged to David Jones.
However, the hands still rotated irregularly, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
Syllable!
Townsend snapped the compass cleanly and turned his gaze back to Jack Sparrow.
"It seems that something unexpected has happened."
Regarding this compass, it seems that there is no mantra or ritual to use in the original plot, and it is not unique to Jack Sparrow to use it.
"Can you tell me why it didn't work? Mr. Sparrow? ”
"It requires strong mood swings, firm and pure." Jack shook his head and said slowly, "Can you really see what you want the most?" ”
Townsen's hand gripping the compass tightened slightly.
What do you want most? Isn't that the heart of David Jones' heart?
No, the heart was in the chest of the dead, and it needed the key that David Jones carried with him.
It's not right, what I want most is to break free from death, it's useless to just get the heart, and it also needs Aztec gold.
"Find the Aztec gold first."
Tang Sen strengthened his thoughts, and opened the compass again, but the hands still had no intention of stopping.
"Oh, I can see your firmness, Mr. Tang." Jack's tone was a bit yin and yang: "But you're obviously not a pure person. ”
"I'm afraid that no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find that definite direction."
"It's funny." Townsend closed the compass, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, the plan can't catch up with the changes, in their own three-step plan, the role of the compass is absolutely indispensable, if the compass can't be used, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the procurement task within half a year.
"If I can't use it myself, if I want to find the heart of David Jones, I have to find someone who is pure enough and has a desire to find it."
The people who used this compass in the original book - Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swan, William Turner.
Townsend first ruled out Jack Sparrow, although he was the master of the compass, but Townsend was sure that this was not a person who could be controlled, this person was too smart, and there were too many uncertainties -
There are thousands of undead at sea, and Captain Jack's sentence of causing half of it is not a joke.
In the original plan, Townsend even decided to imprison him in Port Royal, so as not to affect the rest of the plan.
As for Elizabeth Swan, although in the original book, it was indeed her holding a compass to find the undead box, but at this time the plot has changed, unless she can induce the plot back to the original state, otherwise she may not have much interest in the undead box.
"William Turner, that's you, pure enough, and justified enough to find the Chest of the Dead."
After all, the other party's father is being enslaved by the flying Dutchman, and in order to save his father, this dutiful son is probably willing to pay any price.
"It's a pity, with the compass's conditions, Mr. Turner's heart probably can't point to the Aztec gold coin, and this goal has to find someone else."
Townsend opened his eyes and looked back at Jack Sparrow.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, I think we have a lot to talk about."
